Comrade Dare Joseph, a snack seller at the OOU's motion ground also complains over the increment of market prices.

"Last week, we went tothe market to get the oil we would use for the snacks at which we bought for over ₦38,000 just last week. And this week, we got the same product at the rate of ₦41,000 and of course, there's no way this won't affect the price of his sales."

He traced the increment in price and goods to the government and the closure of the border, restricting the flow of imported goods further increasing the price of goods.
