Adekunle Gold Shares His Experience with Inflation in Nigeria
Nigerian singer Adekunle Gold expressed that he does not directly experience the effects of inflation in Nigeria during an appearance on the 90s Baby Podcast. He explained that he often learns about price increases from his staff rather than through personal shopping, as he does not frequently visit supermarkets or handle household purchases.
Adekunle Gold used the rising price of sardines to illustrate his point, stating, “I don’t feel the inflation going on in the country directly. Until my staff tell me sardines have increased in the market, I’ll be like, ‘Really?’” Additionally, Naija News reported that Nigeria's headline inflation rate slightly dropped to 15.39 percent in August 2026, a decrease from 15.43 percent in July.
This figure is significantly lower than the 23.14 percent recorded in August 2025, according to the Consumer Price Index report released by the National Bureau of Statistics.
