A Reflection on Our Financial Reality: How Far Have We Come?

By Tambuwa Matt Class

Let’s take a moment to examine the harsh financial realities of our lives as Nigerians, realities we often endure without fully understanding the magnitude of their impact.

In 2014, the cost of a 2008 Toyota Corolla Sport was 1.2 million naira. Today, in 2025, that same car—now 17 years old—is being sold for 9 million naira. On the surface, this might seem like a simple case of inflation, but the underlying truth is far more distressing. The real story here is the dramatic devaluation of our currency, the naira, over the past decade.

In 2014, 1.2 million naira was equivalent to $6,000. Fast forward to today, and that same $6,000 is worth about 10 million naira, yet 9 million naira is barely enough to exchange for $5,500. This represents a shocking 700% depreciation in the naira’s value over ten years.

The implications of this are staggering….

OPINION: Lessons from the Hilda Baci Pepper Soup Saga

Author admin 0 279

Recently, social media was ablaze with a young lady’s grievances over spending ₦6,000 on pepper soup at Hilda Baci’s restaurant, which she likened to “dog vomit.” While her complaint drew widespread attention, it also sparked deeper questions about personal choices, priorities, and social expectations in today’s celebrity-driven culture.

1. Supporting Local Over Celebrity Brands
One has to wonder if the lady in question has no friends, neighbors, or acquaintances running food businesses within Lagos. These are people she knows personally—whose hygiene, cooking skills, and accountability she can vouch for. Instead of supporting those closer to her, she chose a celebrity-owned restaurant, likely drawn by the allure of Hilda’s fame as a Guinness World Record holder.

But why? Was the goal to say, “I ate at Hilda Baci’s restaurant”? If so, the complaint feels more like regret for a failed attempt at celebrity proximity than a genuine critique of service. Supporting local businesses…

Data Privacy Day 2025 on 28 January

Ravi Bindra, CISO at SoftwareOne: Cyber comment
“Technology advancements, namely the AI boom, continue to change the data privacy game. As AI evolves, the threat landscape grows increasingly complex, equipping malicious actors with advanced tools to compromise confidential data. As threats grow in scale and severity, compliance with new regulations like the EU’s DORA and NIS2 is business critical, but this must be paired with continued investment into AI and more importantly how to use it responsibly.
“The core challenge is that the speed of technology evolution is outpacing the development and implementation of data governance frameworks and security protocols for businesses to rollout. As such, a priority focus for Data Privacy Day must be on ways to balance AI investment with secure integration. Ensuring that security protocols are baked into all processes to provide employees with clear direction on accepted AI use is key. This should be met with increased AI…
