Do you remember the good old days in Nigeria when a tin of sardine cost just 25 kobo, a bottle of Coke was 25 kobo, and a loaf of bread was a mere 10 kobo? This humble combination was often mockingly referred to as "bricklayer's food" due to its affordability and perceived simplicity.
Fast-forward to today, and the reality is starkly different. The economic landscape has changed dramatically, leaving many Nigerians struggling to make ends meet. The sad truth is that many civil servants and families can no longer afford this basic combination, which was once considered a joke.
This painful reality reemphasizes the escalating cost of living in Nigeria, where inflation has eroded the purchasing power of citizens. The prices of everyday essentials have skyrocketed, making it challenging for people to afford even the most basic necessities.
The nostalgia for a bygone era when life was simpler and more affordable is palpable. As we move forward, it's essential to acknowledge the struggles of the present and work towards creating a brighter, more sustainable future for all Nigerians.
