The recent hike in the price of rice which is one of the commonest staple foods in Nigeria has been seriously mocked in a recent meme trending on social media.
The meme in question
Rice, a starchy food is fast going beyond the reach of the masses due to the ban of the importation of the merchandise through the land borders in Nigeria by the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.
The scarce commodity is currently being sold at cut-throat prices in local markets as the indigenous rice production capacity has failed to suffice.
The hardship and wailing of the Nigerian masses has given birth to this intelligently designed meme to satirize the situation.
