Caroline Hutchins Danjuma, a Nollywood actress, has expressed her concern for Nigerians due to the current economic crisis in the country. The actress reportedly expressed disappointment over the cost of groceries in a post on her Instagram page after visiting the Sunday market in Ogba, Lagos State. Caroline shared her ordeal and asked how Nigerians cope with the high cost of food.
She pointed out that a tuber of yam costs N10,000, a paint bucket of potatoes costs N9,000, a bag of rice costs N85,000 and two pieces of Titus fish costs N5,000. Caroline went on to say that she was quite sad about the development and had to buy her home helper herself as she wasn't keen on the market price.
She wrote, “I went to Sunday market yesterday, I used to go there with my grandma, nostalgic. Hmmm. How are you all coping? A tuber of yam 10k, a small paint bucket of potatoes 9k, a bag of rice 85k, avocado pear 1k/1.5k (the woman wasn’t smiling before I asked for a discount). Two pieces of Titus Fish 5k. How are you all coping? I was soooo sad I started shopping for my domestic staff inclusive. How are you all coping? I wasn’t so keen on pricing in the market; I just felt bad for the masses.
“Everything is expensive. It is well with us. Just want to take the time to check up on you all today. Maybe we need group sessions for mental and emotional therapy; I am willing to start it up with some of you…
“Sending you all big hugs. The sun will soon shine on us all.”
