Others have criticized the government for the current high cost of living, stating that the prices in 1984 were much more affordable. The shopping list has sparked a heated debate on social media about the state of the economy and the rising cost of living. Amblessed Damians said: “When Nigeria is a better country.” Jay Emmanuel said: “Even if we were in that generation we’ll still see a reason or two to complain. For me l’m thankful for where we are today and also hopeful for a better tomorrow 100. People of 1980+ didn’t see as much money as we do today so it’s realistic that the value drops over time.” Azeez Adekunle Ridwan reacted: “My dad told me that around that period, late 70s to be precise, as an automobile engineer, if he worked from Monday to Friday and he’s able to accumulate #5, the whole weekend is settled. And there’d still be enough to start the new week. That was before Nigeria happened to Nigeria.” Chimezie Okoronkwo-nnadiekwe said: “I was lucky to had met 10 kobo I remembered stealing 10 kobo for my mom is to go and buy kwuli kwuli and the woman took the money and went and report me to my mom .. Omo my eyes see my back that day .. better flogging .. life was so easy then every Sunday then tap water will be running all over the street powered by the local government… Nigeria is really damaged beyond repairs.”
