Famed Nigerian actress, Mercy Johnson, has raised questions about the escalating prices of eggs, challenging the common narrative linking it to exchange rates.
In a video shared on her social media, the actress expressed her concern and asked her followers to ponder the origin of the eggs they purchase, particularly given the prevalent claim that the high costs are due to fluctuations in the exchange rate.
Mercy John eventually questioned the egg, asking if its mother was abroad.
