Rising food prices in Nigeria have left many struggling to afford basic meals, with the cost of preparing a single pot of soup doubling in recent years. What once cost around five thousand naira now requires twice that amount, yet even ten thousand naira may no longer be sufficient for some households. The sharp increase reflects broader economic pressures, including inflation and supply chain disruptions, pushing essential staples out of reach for vulnerable families. Experts warn the trend could deepen food insecurity unless urgent measures are taken to stabilize prices.
‘5,000 naira used to make a pot of soup, now 10,000 naira isn't enough.’
