“I’ve never been this afraid for my country” – Mabel Makun bemoans the economic situation in Nigeria

Mabel Makun, the wife of famous comedian and actor Ayo Makun a.k.a AY, has resorted to social media to express her dissatisfaction with Nigeria’s present status.

She claimed that she has never been more concerned about the country’s economic position as she is today.

The mother of two lamented the declining exchange rate, claiming that it is killing companies. According to her, the recent price hike has caused a slowdown in business.

She said that the ordinary Nigerian cannot even buy a piece of bread, and that basic needs have become luxury due to rising prices.

Mabel wrote on her Instagram page,

“Never Been this Afraid for my country Nigeria
Exchange Rate is Killing Businesses
We are Tired of Increasing Prices!
Business is now Draining!
An Average Common Man can no longer Afford a loaf of Bread
Parents withdrawing their kids from schools for home tutor
Basic Needs now Luxury!
Everything is High
Affordability has suddenly become Fiction!
What is the wav out???”
