One Nigerian man has lamented on social media over the inflation rate in the country, explaining that a standing fan he purchased for ₦23,000 during the administration of former President Buhari now retails for an eye-watering ₦110,000 under the administration of President Tinubu.
In a trending TikTok video, the man stood beside his fan, recalling how much he had paid years ago.
“Look at this fan—I bought it for ₦23K during Buhari’s regime. Now, I went back to the same store, and the same individual who sold it to me for ₦23K is now asking for ₦110K,” he lamented.
His revelation soon went viral on the internet, with social media users overwhelming the comment section with personal inflation tales.
