A Caucasian man, Chris, known for creating content that showcases Nigerian street life and culture, recently embarked on an interesting venture with just $1.
In his video, he humorously noted that the $1 equated to about N900 when converted to Naira. He proceeded to buy snacks like sausage rolls and puffs, enjoying them thoroughly before indulging in a meal of spaghetti, beans, and eggs.
His video garnered attention from many Nigerians who were intrigued by the notion of purchasing so much with so little money. Some viewers even speculated that he might have received discounts due to his entertaining content.
The street exchange rate from Naira to Dollar was in play as Chris embarked on his budget food adventure. He kicked things off by purchasing a street sausage roll for N100, followed by indulging in some delectable puff puff, also for N100.
Following his snacks, Chris managed to get a hearty meal of rice, spaghetti, beans, and egg, all for a total of N400. Determined to spend his entire budget, he added corn and other items to his purchases.
