A white visitor has been seen in a viral video saying good things about Nigeria’s market and commodity prices.
The man, who happens to be on a tour of Lagos, posted a video of a fruit vendor peeling a pineapple and claiming that he was paid N500 for it, although it costs €6 in Paris, France (N2,675.09).
He claims that he likes living in Nigeria better than living in France since everything in the West African country is cheaper.
Nigerians reacted angrily, pointing out that citizens’ purchasing power is low, so what may seem cheap for him may actually be expensive for them.
Check out the video and some reactions from Nigerians below:
