Sachet Fanta don enter street! The economic hardship in Nigeria don reach another level as people now dey buy soft drinks in nylon sachets like pure water. For the viral image, we see a vendor holding a slim, transparent sachet filled with orange soda — clearly a cheaper version of the popular Fanta drink.
This move shows just how much survival tactics don change for both sellers and buyers. With the rising cost of living, many Nigerians can no longer afford full bottles of soft drinks, so entrepreneurs are now breaking it down into smaller sachets to cater to low-income earners and children.
While some people dey laugh about the trend online, others dey use am take lament the level of poverty and inflation wey dey bite citizens every day. Sachet Fanta might be a new hustle, but it’s also a strong symbol of how bad things don turn.
If sachet drinks don replace bottles, wetin remain?
