In a video circulating on social media, some market women have been seen expressing distress over the dire economic situation in Nigeria.

The clip, captured during an interview by BBC News, portrays a grim reality as individuals voice their concerns about the soaring cost of living.

One woman, visibly distraught, emphasizes the drastic increase in prices, citing a significant rise in the cost of basic commodities like pepper. She reveals that a basket of pepper, once priced at 25,000 Naira, has skyrocketed to a staggering 70,000 Naira.

The sentiments echoed in the video reflect the sentiments of many Nigerians grappling with the harsh economic realities plaguing the nation. With inflation on the rise and purchasing power dwindling, citizens are finding it increasingly challenging to afford even a single square meal.

GWG.ng reports that this outcry comes on the heels of recent protests in Ibadan, where residents took to the streets to demonstrate against the prevailing economic hardships, urging for government intervention and proactive measures to alleviate the burden on ordinary Nigerians.

As the nation grapples with economic turmoil, the voices of those most affected shows the urgent need for swift and effective solutions to address the root causes of the crisis and restore stability to the economy
