It is no news that there the Nigerian currency is succumbing day by day to the weight of the American dollar, and this has affected a lot of people, including celebrities apparently. Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe has seems to have been affected too, as she took to Instagram to wail over the current exchange rate.
In her post, Mercy Aigbe attached a picture of the exchange rate of Naira to dollar, which read 1,825 Naira per dollar. She went on to lament in her caption, stating that how would she clear her goods. Mercy Aigbe also quizzed business owners on how they were coping amidst the rise in dollar rate.
Mercy Aigbe isn’t the first public figure to speak about the Dollar and Naira issue, as a lot of them have come out to share their one cent on the issue because apparently, they have also been affected.
On a similar note, influencer and businesswoman Ama Reginald also came out to bemoan the exchange rate, citing difficulties in clearing her goods, just like Mercy Aigbe.
Amidst all the wailing, we have cross-dresser Bobrisky, who seems to be aware of the situation, but has shown no empathy. Instead, he took out time to troll Nigerians about the current economic situation, stating that they should’ve prepared better.
