Former Big Brother Naija all-stars housemate, Uriel Oputa, recently shared a distressing experience she encountered while shopping, shedding light on the economic hardship in Nigeria. The reality TV star expressed her dismay over the soaring cost of living, particularly highlighting the exorbitant price increase of her favorite shower gel.

Uriel revealed that the price of her preferred shower gel skyrocketed from N4,000 to a staggering N9,000 between December and now. This drastic surge in prices prompted her to question the economic situation in Nigeria. She admitted that she typically never bothers to check prices while shopping, but the recent inflation forced her to request the cashier to remove some items from her cart.

Reflecting on her ordeal, Uriel shared that she felt ashamed after having to pare down her purchases, only to be approached by a fan for a selfie. Her poignant revelation underscores the financial strain faced by many Nigerians amidst the challenging economic conditions.
