Nkechi Blessing Laments N150k Market Experience, Considers Relocation

Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing has sparked attention on social media after candidly discussing her market experience and the state of the economy.

In a video posted on her official Instagram page, Nkechi Blessing expressed regret over her recent trip to the market. She carried N150,000 intending to buy essentials like goat meat, fish, and turkey. However, she returned home without even N1,000 left.

Nkechi highlighted her shock at a small tuber of yam costing N10,000. She noted that many seem complacent with the situation, but she cannot accept it. The actress hinted at possibly relocating out of the country due to these economic challenges.

“I literally carried N150k to the market just to buy basic things, two kilos of turkey, catfish, live chicken, and goat meat. Guess what, N1000 no dey follow me comot from this market. One yam na N10,000 now, one lean yam! And a lot of people are not even talking about it anymore, e be like say una de enjoy this new economy wey we dey so.
