Nigerians are turning back to selling drinkable water in nylon bags as “iced water” in the midst of the nation’s inflation, since sachet water can cost as much as 50 naira apiece.
Nigerians have been adjusting to a low-spending lifestyle as a result of the country’s dire financial situation, with new strategies appearing daily.
The most recent is the outdated method of selling water in nylons, as seen in a viral video of a woman charging 50 naira for two glasses of iced water.
It is important to note that sachet water bags can cost up to 400 naira each, and some manufacturers only include 16 pieces in each bag rather than the standard 20.
Since then, social media users have reacted to the video of the iced water vendor in a variety of ways. Some have praised the action, while others have condemned it.
