If you can’t relate to the inflation situation in Nigeria, I have three theories: You’ve cracked the code to safe money rituals, you’re from generational wealth, or you simply have a family member who’s squeezing the country dry. Move to one side, please.
Now that I have the attention of those of us who undulate between “God, abeg” and “God, when?” on a daily basis, I bring good tidings of where your money can still move like an odogwu.
Anything at Aswani market
This Lagos market is the one place you can confidently go shopping with confidence that’s through the roof. It’s the only market where prices still go as low as ₦100 – ₦1000 for fashion and household items.
Rat poison
I don’t know if you’re aware, but prices are relatively stable in the “War against rats” department. Poisons and rat gum under ₦500? The baller in you is still alive.

Airtime
I’m not sure what the per-second billing is these days, but you know what I know? You can still recharge for as low as ₦50 and get data under ₦1k. God is good.
Sliced yams
You get to shame inflation and eat yam in your house. Think about it, why struggle to buy a tuber of yam for ₦2500 in the first place when you can comfortably afford three slices and not have to worry about the extra food prep? If you deep it, it’s actually giving “luxurious”.
Kpomo
The way turkey, chicken and fish move these days, we need to appreciate this king for staying consistent with the pricing. Beloved, your ₦100 – 200 will get you kpomo. It might look haggard and washed up, but even though!
Fufu
Garri used to be that guy, but sorry to break it y’all, it’s time to port because what do you mean a bucket of garri is ₦3500? Anyway, fufu is king now. You’re good with that ₦100 budget.
Ice water
Deep down, you might not want to admit that you’re poor and can’t afford pure water. But ask yourself, how long can you shell out ₦500 for a bag? My friend, let your ₦100 shake the ground in the ice water market.
