Former South-East spokesman to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Chairman of the Forum of Former Members of the Enugu State House of Assembly, Josef Onoh, has blasted Reno Omokri for saying an average Nigerian can comfortably live on a daily budget of ₦3,000. He recently had his say via a press statement, and Nigerians have been reacting.
Describing the claim as economically unrealistic and disconnected from the current cost-of-living situation facing Nigerian households, Onoh disclosed that even though ₦3,000 daily translates to about ₦90,000 monthly, Omokri’s calculation failed to account for the structure of Nigerian households and the rising costs of food and other essential needs.
He added that the analysis treated Nigerians as isolated individuals rather than members of households that typically comprise several people.
His words, “To label ₦3,000 as a viable daily survival threshold for the average Nigerian is to mistake bare subsistence for living, masking a deep humanitarian and economic reality behind superficial retail arithmetic.”
