A trending video shows an American man, married to a Nigerian woman, ionately lamenting the rising cost of living in Nigeria.
Holding a bottle of water, he complained that he used to buy the same bottle for just 100 naira, but now it costs 250 naira.

He added that even a bottle of Coke now sells for 500 naira, and Uber fares have become outrageous.

He explained that he spent 7,000 naira on a trip to Mushin, whereas that amount could have taken him to Lagos Island.

He went on to express his frustration, saying that 200 naira can now only get a very tiny portion of puff-puff. When he attempted to buy garri for 200 naira, he was told the minimum amount he could get was 400 naira. "How do people even eat?" he wondered aloud. He also noted that pure water, which used to cost just 20 naira, is now selling for 50 naira.

What makes his reaction even funnier is the way he speaks Pidgin English, frequently hissing in frustration as he expresses himself. The video, shared by his wife on their Instagram page, has since gone viral, attracting a lot of reactions.

Even Elon musk will open the book of lamentations in Nigeria.
It's crazy and sickening how food is more expensive than abroad. chicken, beef, eggs. Omo nawaooo even the leanest meat pie full with potatoes is 1k😥

Good, u made ur point .

Now go back to America

Cost of living is increasing but income remains stagnant.

He is igbo. Come dey lie say he is oyinbo..

Na Igbo. Na them wants to take over Lagos. We will send them to the lagoon.

And after that we shall give him capital punishment too..

He wants to spoil our great President's name..

Unfortunately the devaluation, tax and monies generated by the government goes into their deep private pockets of cabal / cronies in government. Only a fraction is used for Nigerian people. Everything is politics to them.

Let the useless government and its mummified miscreants pronounce the death sentence on the American since the can't take what they diss out.

Na deport dem go deport this one.

Ok

He looks like Zelenskyy

Very simple Oga go back to your country

T

So what should we do about it?

Watch as those lazy cursed obidient will quickly adopt him and start the ranting shit as usual.

Oyibo if yu can't stay in Nigeria you can return to your country in peace ok.

Yoruba Ronu will say he's an obedient
Foolish lagosian will say he's Igbo

Cost of living has gone up all over the world, including the US and every part of the world.

You people should stop all these nonsense abeg

People dey Japa comot. Dis one Japa come. No be juju be this?

Tinubu is working on Nigeria

Baba is serious and I do not see what should amuse anybody there . Sometimes, people don't know how serious you are until you are really serious. Our politicians read online comments too. You can't expect someone to believe that you're really hungry/suffering and yet, everything is viewed as cruise on comment section, and having the same masses paying more attention to celebrity gossips than the country at stake. Oh no, you can't be serious, which means one thing "it is not that bad"...

Na even Buhari price him de use compare.
Yar'Adua price difference is times 10.

Pure water - ₦5 to ₦50
Coke - ₦50 to ₦500
Egg - ₦25 to ₦250
Fuel - ₦87 to ₦900
Rice - ₦7,800 to ₦75,000 etc......

Only dimwits pretend like everything is still the same

Ok let them threathen him as usual, the painful aspect of been a Nigerian is that government will intimidate citizens but will be scared of white foreigners in this country....foreigners will intimidate you in their countries and your government will intimidate in your own country...APC is a curse to humanity

Tokunbo Wahab should come and tell us how dirty this man's country is. Lagos Govt is the most tribalized govt in Africa. Their hatred for anything SE is topnotch. See how they automatically made Raye an Igbo girl even when she's from cross River. Their hatred for the people of SE is unimaginable. On his Twitter he has been busy publishing and defaming Igbos living in Lagos over what Raye said. Last year Davido complained bitterly about the APC regime, he was not roasted as much as Raye was. They just want to bully everyone into silence while leveraging on the Igbos. Funny enough, the Igbos in their wisdom have been mute from the inception of the inglorious govt.

Is the tiubu regime not a very terrible regime? Are things not more expensive today, to the tune of over 500%?

Your hatred for the Igbos is a confirmation that without the Igbos, blood will dry off your veins.
