In the wake of the troubles plaguing the naira in recent times, the prices of foodstuff across various Nigerian markets have gone up.

A lot of Nigerian shoppers have been bemoaning the price increase, apart from the tomato scarcity saga about two months ago.

Nigerian Twitter user @diaryofanewmum laments the situation in several hilarious tweets.

1. The sadness that engulfs her when she has to go shopping.

2. The shock when the price of rice, every Nigerian's go-to meal, had shot up. Our mothers will definitely not find it easy to retort "There is rice at home" anymore.

3. Hot tears, because those tubers of yam cost more money than they deserved to.

4. Even cooking gas joined them in this inflation business. How much is firewood again?

5. But why is fish even expensive too? Is water scarce in the rivers, or do we now import sea water too?

6. Even Maltina is disloyal. Nigerian Bottling Company, why do this?

7. Spaghetti too became more expensive. Alhaji Aliko, help us please!
