A financial instructor sparked outrage after spotting a supermarket selling just a half loaf of bread, highlighting the deepening economic struggles facing Nigerians.
  • Viral video shows half a slice of bread packaged for sale in a Nigerian supermarket.
  • Financial educator reacted sharply, calling the situation "shameful."
  • Rising inflation has driven many food items beyond the reach of average citizens.
  • Nigerians on social media expressed shock and sadness over the footage.
  • Bread, once a basic staple, is becoming increasingly unaffordable.
When half a slice of bread becomes a commodity, it’s clear the economy is biting hard. Inflation has shrunk purchasing power so badly that even the most basic foods now feel like luxuries. The instructor’s outrage reflects a growing frustration across the country — people are not just adjusting lifestyles, they are adjusting their dignity. It's a stark reminder that behind every viral post, real lives are being stretched to the limit.

If a single slice is now too much to afford, what’s next? The cracks in the economy are becoming harder to ignore.
