Buying my foodstuffs
I'm the type of guy who used to have foodstuff at home but during the festive period last year, I had a lot of visitors who consumed a lot of my food, so because of this, my foodstuff was depleted a lot, and I did not have much after the festive. It was over this January, and I realized that I had to refill all my stuff that was depleted. I've been making plans for a while because I don't have enough cash. I could not do much, but I received some cash today, so I decided to visit the market. To stack up my foodstuff, and just like every other day, the market was bustling.
Being a bachelor in Nigeria can be quite an experience when you head to the market to purchase basic items like foodstuff. Some vendors assume that you're stingy just because you're unmarried and shopping on your own. To avoid such assumptions, people often send their sisters or girlfriends to do the shopping. However, I prefer to purchase my foodstuffs myself, and over time, I have gained a lot of loyal customers in the market. Initially, I had trouble with vendors overcharging me, but I've learned how to navigate the market and identify good quality produce at a fair price.
The price of foodstuffs has skyrocketed and the country is getting more difficult day by day.
Before I left home, I had already made up my mind, I knew I wouldn't meet the price the same way I left them just because of the country's situation, and the dollar was up against the Naira, and when I got to the market, I was not surprised by the price. Everything is now expensive, just that I have to spend twice of what I used to spend before to stack up my foodstuff. the last time I went to the market, I spent 40,000 Naira to buy foodstuffs and this might sound small, but I'm the only one staying at home, so I don't need much, but this time, I spent more than double because today, I spent close to 85,000 Naira. Even when converting it to dollars is not much, it's still a lot of money in the country.
Most market women are just complaining about how their market is not selling like before
Food plays a crucial role in our lives, but the current situation has made it difficult for people to consume it as they used to. Due to the ongoing hardship, individuals are unable to buy food unnecessarily. This is why market vendors are experiencing a decrease in sales. Despite this, I had a good day and wanted to share my observations of the market with you.
The current administration is having a negative impact on the economy. If things continue in this direction, it might become difficult for marketers to sell their products because they will be too expensive for the average person. Ideally, everything would be released as quickly as possible to address this issue. Thank you for having me today.

This aspect of feeding is what scares me because how would bachelor like me cope when I buy stuffs of 40 thousand naira and it's not even more than a poly bag nylon. I can relate with all you said but I just home this would end soon. These pictures you shared, is it ikd?
It is crazy but we must survive because it is the most important part of life.
This is Ondo state
Yeah, that's the fact. We must try every thing possible. And food is the top priority.

I never really thought that they would judge you for going out to buy stuff as a male. It doesn't really make sense to me but I do agree that prices has gone up even here in the US. Although, I don't think it has doubled here yet.
It has even tripled here and if you are not getting your stuff from the market you will have to pay double for it
This is something I can very much relate with, anytime I visit back to the market to get something, I notice that the price of most items have increased, sometimes quite a lot. I think there isn't much price control and the inflation of the currency also plays a key part.
The inflation is not helping and is just getting crazier every day
