Nigerian citizens unable to afford basic goods and services due to rapid cost of living increases

Nigerians are experiencing severe economic hardship with rising prices for food, transportation, and essential services that outpace wage growth, making it increasingly difficult to meet daily needs. The problem affects middle and lower-income households who lack effective tools to budget, find affordable alternatives, or access financial assistance programs. Current solutions like traditional banking and government subsidies are either inaccessible, too slow, or insufficient to address the immediate purchasing power crisis.
