According to Nkechi Blessing, she took N150,000 with her to shop for food items like goat meat, fish, turkey, and more, but to her surprise, she wasn’t able to return home with even a single N1000.
Speaking further, the Nollywood star cried out about a lean tuber of yam being N10,000. She noted that many people seemed comfortable with the way things were and that she is not part of those people who like things as they are. Nkechi Blessing also hinted at considering relocating out of the country.
In her words:
“I literally carried N150k to the market just to buy basic things, two kilos of turkey, catfish, live chicken and goat meat. Guess what, N1000 no dey follow me comot from this market. One yam na N10,000 now, one lean yam! And a lot of people are not even talking about it anymore, e be like say una de enjoy this new economy wey we dey so. I no be rich so I need to complain, the rich sef dey complain but me I no be the rich, I’m one of the masses, the poor masses and I am complaining like this.
