Ruth Kadiri Raises Alarm Over Skyrocketing Tomato and Food Prices

Ruth Kadiri Raises Alarm Over Skyrocketing Tomato and Food Prices

Nollywood actress and filmmaker Ruth Kadiri has voiced serious concerns about the rising cost of staple foods in Nigeria. In a recent social media video, she revealed that a simple purchase of tomato and pepper can now cost up to ₦5,000, putting a heavy burden on most households. Kadiri pointed out that if even a successful filmmaker feels the impact, then those earning between ₦25,000 and ₦50,000 a month must be under immense strain. She cautioned that unchecked food inflation could drive citizens into deeper hardship and strain social unity. Her comments highlight the urgent need to address food inflation and its effects on everyday Nigerians.
