Today, we continue with our “putting things into perspective” series. Remember when we did it for NGN500?
Well, let’s visualize exactly what NGN1,250 can do for us today.
While NGN1,250 can buy some Internet data on all networks, it cannot afford you a refuel meal at a Chicken Republic outlet.
It cannot buy cooking gas (LPG): The average price per kilogram of cooking gas is approximately NGN1,341/kg. Going by today’s exchange rate, NGN1,250 is technically below $1.
In Lagos, Nigeria, with 1,250 Naira, you can buy various items.
Here are some possible options:
– Food:
You might be able to buy a meal. A plate of jollof rice can cost about NGN1000 per serving, or you could purchase a small loaf of bread & beans.
– Snacks:
Small packs of snacks like chips, biscuits, or nuts can cost between 100 and 500 Naira. You could buy a few packets of snacks.
– Transportation:
Depending on the distance, 1250 Naira might cover a short to medium-distance trip in a public bus (Danfo). However, ride-hailing trips would cost a whole lot more.
– Petrol:
In Lagos, petrol prices are around NGN920 per liter. Thus, NGN1,250 would buy slightly over 1 liter, enough for very short-distance travel or brief generator use.
– Other items:
Small items like candies, gum, or phone credits might be available for purchase.
That’s ALL!
