“One Million Naira to Market Buys You Almost Nothing” — Toyin Lawani on Soaring Food Prices

Fashion entrepreneur Toyin Lawani has drawn attention to the soaring cost of basic food items in Nigeria. In a social media video, she questioned how many households can cope with these skyrocketing prices. She revealed that a small basket of Irish potatoes now goes for around ₦30,000, while four pieces of plantain cost about ₦2,500. At this rate, even ₦1 million barely makes a dent when shopping for groceries. Toyin asked how families are surviving under these conditions and called for urgent discussions on how to ease the burden on everyday Nigerians.
