Zamfara State residents have lamented over the high cost of living in the country, saying that economic hardship is about to send them to their untimely graves.


They cried out that the government has made the country so hard that everyday, people are dying of hunger and starvation, pointing out that the situation in the country has become ‘survival of the fittest’.

The citizens further lamented that the situation has reached a stage that, to afford even a square meal a day has become a major problem.

Investigation carried out by DAILY POST revealed that a bag of local rice is being sold at the cost of N165,000, a basket of tomatoes, N43,000, a basket of fresh pepper, N62,700, a bag of beans, N213,000, while a bag of onions goes for N80,000.

It was further learnt that a bag of millets is now sold at the cost of N109,000 while a bag of corn costs N97,000.

Some of the residents who spoke with DAILY POST expressed dismay over the economic hardship and escalation of prices of foodstuffs in the markets.


One Mayriam Usman said that her daughter had just given birth to a baby girl but there is no food to feed her and her newborn baby.

She said she had to beg for survival.

“These period, there is no shame in begging for food as one cannot afford it, because everyone knows the economic situation in Nigeria,” she lamented.


Another resident, Muhammad Umar, explained that due to the serious economic hardship he is facing, he was forced to send his male children to local Almajiri schools so they can roam the streets for alms.

Ibrahim Musa told DAILY POST that he was short of words as the situation has become unbearable and unbelievable.

“We are living like at the end time where feeding has become a problem. Now in Nigeria, the rich are getting richer while the poor are getting poorer,” he said.


A trader who sells foodstuffs, Hajiya Binta expressed dissatisfaction over the economic situation in the country, pointing out that many traders have gone out of business due to low patronage.

“You can bear witness that the market behavior have changed because of economic hardship facing Nigerians as the common man now eat what he or she sees and not what he or she wants.”

Ahmad Musa narrated that during the last Sallah celebration, he couldn’t buy any clothes for his children, saying that he is managing to put food on the table for his family.

“We are really in serious trouble in Nigeria due to the issues of insecurity, hunger and starvation,” he lamented.

Another resident, Aminu Abubakar, lamented that because of economic hardship, he had to withdraw his children from private schools as he could not meet up with the fees.

Let the North dismantle the terrorist that is causing havoc in their region.

The Boko Haram that is asking farmers to bring money before they could cultivate their farms. The leaders of the North that threatened to fight GEJ if he tries to kill any Northerner in the name of fighting terrorism.

You don't expect good things when you shield the people that is causing this trouble in your region.

The soaring high cost of food is due to these problems of Boko Haram in the North.
