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.
@MORADEYO WEARS complained: “Fan wey I buy 160k last week ????????????.”
@Amazingtouchdesigns recalled: “I bought it for ₦12K in 2009.”
@Abiola Eazylinks Ibirogba added: “Mine was ₦12,500 in 2015 ????.”
@Omo Cu Ban Son shared: “I bought this fan for ₦20K in 2018, and the werey are still functional till date ????.”
@Alonge Oluwaseyi commented: “Regardless of how you later get it for ₦110K, it will never be as strong as the one you got at ₦23K.”
@Olorundamilare Oluwasubomi Abola shared: “I bought mine at ₦18K then and bought two for the price.”
@Oxblood Emeka Johnsonv shocked many with his comment: “I bought mine for ₦10K in 2005 when Obasanjo was president, and it’s still working till date.”
@AlayInde Razaaq offered advice: “Dey play. If you’re looking for a cheaper one, go to Mega Plaza, Pack and Shop, or any electronic mall.”
