“I don’t feel the inflation going on in the country directly,” he said.

The singer explained that he would only begin to notice something had changed when his staff informed him that certain products had become more expensive or when household supplies needed to be purchased more frequently.

For many Nigerians, changes in food prices are encountered during regular trips to markets and supermarkets.

Adekunle Gold, however, said he does not personally handle most household shopping, giving him a different experience of the country’s rising living costs.
