Five days of lockdown feel like five years -Lagosians cry out

Many Lagos residents, who spoke to The Nation on Saturday, especially the ones from families that are not used to bulk purchase of food items, are going through hard times as a result of the Coronavirus lockdown.

“I have never bought things in bulk in my life. I don’t even have a fridge or a good place to store anything as we live in a makeshift house, so I ignored her but on the second day of the lockdown, we became very hungry. “My husband had to borrow N10, 000 for me to buy food at Agbara Market. I left home before 5:30 am and got to the market before 6:00 am but by the time I finished buying, there were no buses to bring me back to my bus stop as buses usually stop working before the police road blocks are mounted.

“Our water finished on the fourth day of the lockdown and my husband went out to look for water for us. He went everywhere that he could go on foot because we don’t have a car and there were no vehicles but he couldn’t get pure water or dispenser water to buy. So, I got the idea to boil our borehole tap water, cool and refrigerate it so that we will not starve.”

Those who eat once daily from the day's earnings at roadside booker were not considered. Why? Bad planning by govt leaves them a choice between covid-19 and hunger

How many people can afford to buy 1 50kg bag of rice and 10kg of Semovita and 40kg of beans and 100 tubas of yam and 1 bag of iresh and sweet potato and 1 carton of turkey 5 cartons of chicken 1 goat 1 cow head 5 cartons of fish 10 cartons of sea food 10 cartons of stock fish?

Bulk purchase of food 🥘 is it not when you have good money you can do that? When you make N2,000 a day how do you purchase bulk of food? Even workers that get paid monthly can’t even do that please..

Pls you guys should say something else.

You are right

Where is the money, some people survive by daily hustling

Majority of the people dont have the money to buy anything. They are low income who made money on daily basis. They dont work now.
