Tinubu’s Naija woes push Shokoya to seek relocation as rice hits 90k pb
By Jeph Ajobaju, Chief Copy Editor
Nollywoodian Debbie Shokoya says she is not happy with the Bola Tinubu Renewed Hardship, noting even the wealthy are not spared from the daily rises in the prices of goods and services.
The thespian is contemplating relocation from Nigeria and has reached out to fans for suggestions on which country to flee to.
“Even the rich dey complain. Na there I con dey wonder say wetin wan happen like this…
“It’s not funny again ooo!! Bag of rice sold for 90k ke. Please, which country can I relocate to?” she asked on her social media platform.
Shokoya is the latest in the long line of public figures and celebrities who blame President Bola Tinubu for the hardship because he failed to properly plan the removal of fuel subsidy which increased transport costs that triggered spikes in the prices of goods and services, apart from general inflation.

Hilda Dokubo laments, “bread is almost N3,000, as for Garri, let’s not go there”. Tinubu apologists distort facts to defend him
Earlier this month, Nollywood actress Hilda Dokubo told Nigerians brace for a new normal of prolonged fasting and extensive treking, because “we have gone back to the 18th century” – recreated by former President Muhammadu Buhari and being nurtured by his successor Tinubu.
“Let us prepare for a new lifestyle of long fasting, long trekking, and long-suffering. Their mandate is mandating,’” Dokubo said in a video shared on Instagram.
“Just so you know, fuel is N1,250 which means, on your mandate you have to stand, on your leg you have to walk. Get ready. All of you who do not like walking, go and get trainers so that you can waka.
“We have gone back to the 18th century, electricity, twice they have increased it [the price] this year, February never even reach half, fuel N1,250, diesel N1,700, bread is almost N3,000, as for Garri, let’s not go there.”
Dokubo posted the video as Tinubu apologists now double down insisting he has clean hands in the countrywide hardship which has stoked hunger protests from at least five states – Niger, Kano, Osu, Oyo, and twice in Lagos since December 2023.
