The Price of a Bad Vote: What Your Vote Actually Costs You: Mass Reader Edition

A bag of beans cost ₦18,000 in 2019. Today it costs ₦120,000. Your salary did not multiply by seven. Your hunger did. Mama Nkechi has kept a rice price ledger for thirty years at Daleko Market. Her handwritten notebook is Nigeria's most honest economic report. Tunde the Ibadan printer spends ₦75,000 per month on diesel — not because electricity is naturally scarce but because no government that needed his vote bothered to fix the power infrastructure. The Mass Reader Edition of The Price of a Bad Vote turns economic policy into household arithmetic and asks one question: how much has your ballot cost you?
