A Nigerian man has taken to social media to express his frustration with members of the diaspora who continue to support the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) amid the country's ongoing economic difficulties. In a video that has gained significant traction online, he highlights the stark contrast in purchasing power by showcasing three basic clothing items—a pair of shoes, trousers, and a shirt—that he purchased for ₦75,000.

The man’s video poses a provocative question to Nigerians living abroad: can the monthly minimum wage in their host countries realistically cover the cost of just these three items? He reflects on the rapid decline in purchasing power, noting that just a few years ago, the same outfit would have cost less than ₦10,000. This stark increase, he argues, underscores the severe impact of hyperinflation on everyday life in Nigeria.

In his comments, the man articulates a broader concern about the economic challenges facing citizens, emphasizing that the rising prices of clothing and other essential commodities are indicative of a national crisis. He calls for accountability from the government, directly urging the President to resign, as he believes the administration has failed to fulfill its promises to improve the economic conditions for ordinary Nigerians.

The video has resonated with many viewers, sparking discussions about the realities of living in Nigeria compared to the experiences of Nigerians abroad. As the cost of living continues to rise, the man’s message serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by many in the country and the growing discontent with the current government’s handling of the economy.
