‘Iced water’ returns as bag of sachet water becomes too expensive

Amidst the country’s inflation, Nigerians return to the old ways of selling drinkable water in nylons called ‘iced water’ as sachet water sells for as much as 50 naira per one.

As Nigeria faces severe financial hardship, countrymen have since been adjusting to low-spending mode as different approaches seem to be surfacing day after day.

The latest is the old way of selling water in nylons as seen in a trending video, capturing a woman selling iced water for two for 50 naira.

It is worth noting that a bag of sachet water sells for as high as 400 naira per bag and instead of 20 pieces, some manufacturers have reduced the quantity to 16 per bag.

The video of the iced water seller has since generated a wave of reactions from social media users who applauded the move, while others condemned it.
