Big Brother Naija reality star, Doyinsola Anuoluwapo David, popularly known as Doyin, has mentioned that while she hears about the hardship in the country, she hasn’t experienced it firsthand.
She explained that she is unaware of the prices of commodities because her domestic staff handles the shopping for her.
Doyin shared these thoughts during a recent podcast interview with YouTuber, Olufemi Daniel.
“I am the most detached Nigerian you can ever meet. I don’t even know what is happening. I don’t know the price of anything. I don’t go to the market. I send my chef, and they don’t tell me what the price is,” she said.
“I hear there’s hardship in the country and I sympathize with Nigerians. I’m sure it’s tough. I know because wigs are more expensive. Makeup, nails, cars, houses, everything is more expensive. Those things I know. But I’m not really into tomatoes... I’m sure food is expensive.
“It’s sad because people are suffering, I’m sure because we see things on social media. I also went to the market one time at Ogba, and I cried that day because I saw how people were suffering. People were reacting to N50,000 like it was N5 million. That shows how badly people are suffering.
“It’s very sad. We hope that we’ll have a country one day where the average Nigerian can at least feed.
“That should be the basics. But we are not there yet. I hope we get there one day. I don’t want to talk about politics because I don’t really know much about it.
“I just think Nigeria is in a terrible state with this kind of leadership. The issue is that the people who are supposed to care about us don’t care about us.
“I don’t know if there will be a solution anytime soon. So I tell people to do their best to fend for themselves and their families, and if you have the opportunity to relocate abroad, do it.”
