 Nigerians are grappling with galloping food prices which have only worsened following the announcement by the federal government to discontinue petro subsidy payment and the value of the official exchange rate. Plosivikru went on a market survey to feel the pulse of both buyers and sellers alike. Plosivikru's correspondent Destin Amomo brings us more in this report. This is our job market here in Etiosa, Lagos, Nigeria. The traders as well as the consumers are complaining about prices, the price hike of commodities and they are begging the government to ensure that things get better for the citizens. I went around the market to investigate how the biting effects of inflation is telling on their commercial activities. With a quick look at them, it is a tale of low patronage by buyers as they complain of the staggering cost of staples. Traders lament, dwindling sales. A bag of rice sells for almost 60,000 Naira and a healthy cow sells for about a million Naira resulting in the price hike of beef. It's not that good at all, it's too bad. I've been saying today and now, when we buy one market today, tomorrow, not the price of the market, we buy it again. So everything used to deer every now and then. That is why the market is not moved at all. Please, we beg them, make them help us about this market, about all markets, not only one market because everything is too deer. Things are not moving when the economy was, everything is so low. So just like pray to our government that will make things easy to people. When something works easy, people will like, okay, everything will germinate but when we buy something like, if you want to buy something and people will hear the complaint, this thing is too cost. The thing make will be like that, they say the back governor, president and other people will help us from dollar, open border. So maybe even that thing, this thing happen, everything will condense more. Some buyers express their displeasure. I don't like this period we are now. I don't want to say more than, I just don't, I'm not enjoying this period. The price that they are calling the bag of rice, I don't understand. As I continued with the survey, some pensioners complained about the palliatives promised by the federal government. They are yet to receive them. Alas, they are barely surviving amidst the hardship. It makes things good for the people because there are a lot of people who come to the market and there are a lot of people who cannot eat. If not this pension, at least it's sustaining me. That's what we are really, and the children, their hand is not up to, you know, so it is hard. Is it the same for us? Is it the same? Is it the same? Is it the same? Is it the same? If it's the same, it's the same. We agree. If it's Nigeria, it's Nigeria. If it's Nigeria, we cannot continue like this. At least my age, over 50. I have to be silent. Play long enough and down because I want to eat. It's not down to 90 cents. result of environmental infractions, the Alloja Rovaca market in Ityosa local government and other officials speak on how they have been able to manage their market spaces effectively. I assume this market is not organized. They are just doing everything, but they always make the government, the environmental everything to circulate. So we don't always obey the rule and the relation of the government before we hear that I need to want to have to set up our everything up. From the first angle, you know, what to eat must be hygienic. Something you take in, you must be hygienic with it. That is why we have monitoring for feed in the area of environmental sanitation, we have tax force team in the area. We also have an executive that communicates in that area. Residents are hopeful of a turnaround soon as they also grapple with the poor state of roads, multiple taxations as well as high cost of transportation. Here in Ityosa Aja market, Lagos, Nigeria.
