This is an unfortunate news as survey by the National Bureau of Statistics, shows that two-thirds of households in Nigeria currently lack money to eat healthy and nutritious food.


The NBS survey titled, “Nigeria General Household Survey – Panel (GHS-Panel) Wave 5 (2023/2024). examined demographics, education, and health trends in Nigeria, comparing data from Wave 4 (2018/19) and Wave 5 (2023/24).

As painful as this might sound, it is actually true. Most families rely on junk or unhealthy food because it is actually cheaper than the healthy ones.

Healthy foods are Just so expensive now. So what can the common man do now

It is absolutely true! High level of inflation and economic downturn is making life very unbearable for the masses. While there is increase in essential products, salaries didn't increase in the same way. It is quite disheartening that most Nigerians are beggars!

It is saddening to see that life has become more challenging globally. Inflation is making everything more expensive, and unless we pursue side hustles, our incomes do not increase.

Yes life is not just good globally. A lot of families can't even afford 3 square meals let alone eat something healthy

I think that survey could be right because most African people are really suffering from multinutritional diseases for that matter

 

[Augusta]

Unfortunately this is true. The cost of eating healthy meals is really high. so it isn't even esdy for the common man

How many people in Nigeria can afford meat as a basic commodity. I am certain that they are not many.
