This is not the best of times for Nigerians, particularly the ordinary man on the street, the low class citizens as some people would prefer to call them. This is because bread, which used to be the easiest and cheapest available food for the poor, is no longer within their reach.
Prices of food items have continued to be on an upward spiral for some time now, with its attendant negative effects on the masses. Many are dying of hunger, while so many others are suffering from one kind of ailment or the other, due to malnutrition. The level of inflation is frightening and it has virtually affected the price of everything, including food items.
'Even in the villages, they use vehicles to get their products to the end users and the transporters have increased the transport fare due to high cost of fuel; this automatically will reflect on the prices of bread because the bakers who paid more to buy and transport flour, which is the raw materials for bread, would automatically reflect the increase on the price of the bread.
