Nollywood actor Alesh Sanni expressed his frustration with Nigeria’s economic situation in an Instagram post, highlighting the drastic difference in currency value between the US and Nigeria.
He noted that $1200 in the US is equivalent to N10million in Nigeria, questioning the reason behind this disparity and what citizens are getting in return.
In a dramatic expression of his despair, he suggested that the government might as well be “killing” its citizens, emphasizing the dire state of the country’s economy.
“For real. E no just make sense anymore.

He wondered if there were any measures in place to curb the escalating costs of living, as the situation continues to deteriorate.
Actresses Lizzy Gold and Destiny Etiko had also spoken out about Nigeria’s economic hardship and its effects on citizens.
