Nollywood actress, Nkechi Blessing laments her 150,000 naira experience in the stock market

Nollywood actress, Nkechi Blessing, has made headlines on social media after commenting on the state of the economy after her experience at the market.


The actress shared a video on her official Instagram page where she regretted her experience at the market while trying to buy groceries.


According to Nkechi Blessing, she brought 150,000 naira to buy groceries such as goat meat, fish and turkey, but to her surprise, she could not return home even with 1,000 naira.


The Nollywood celebrity further expressed concern over a small yam tuber that costs 10,000 naira. She knew that many people are content with the status quo and that she is not one to like the status quo. Nkechi Blessing also hinted at the possibility of emigrated from the country.

In her words:

“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. I no be rich so I need to complain, the rich sef dey complain but me I no be the rich, I’m one of the masses, the poor masses and I am complaining like this. E dey now o, na in we fit dey buy am, if e no con dey nko? Time to dust my passport o because it’s no longer getting funny.
