However, doing any of these this festive season may be very difficult for Nigerians, as they are lamenting their inability to afford the constantly increasing prices of food and services which might make their celebration a bleak one.
The rising cost of goods and services is not unconnected to the high exchange rate caused by the bad economy. Also, the recent flooding had washed away many farmlands and farm produce in many parts of the country, making it almost impossible for many to harvest their crops.
The flood also destroyed many roads which has hindered the transportation of fruits and food items. Most of these items eventually get spoilt. Hence, to recover what they’ve lost due to the flood, they hike the price of their food items.
