My Actifit Report Card: May 10 2024 || Alive And Thriving Friday || Out To Buy Items

With great pleasure I salute you all dear actifitters in this dynamic fitness and health sportstalk Actifit community where fitness and health is the watchword.

In the morning I went out for a walk to the office to attend to some official duties that was waiting for my attention since I was away in the office for some days due to other engagements. On getting to the office, Loo and behold, @bela90 shows up with her bouncing baby boy and we chats, gossip and talk about hive for a while before we parted.

I then take a walk towards Uyo Plaza to connect the popular Etuk street market to buy some toiletries that have been use out at home. To my greatest surprise, starting from the University of Uyo gates, I notice that the streets looks almost empty of both students, passerby and vehicular activities of which before now use to be a beehive of activities.

To a large extent I don't need to ask what could be happening or need a seer to tell me why the street looks this dry especially today Friday where we expect people to be busy buying somethings for the weekend and or selling to passengers and other passaby. But due to the persistent inflation and high cost of fuel pump price which automatically affected every other aspect of citizens life's, some people decided to stay at home while others prefer going to their farms to do some weeding.

Well I proceed to walk on at least when I get to Plaza it may be different, but on getting there it was still the same.

In fact, the street hawkers and sellers that display their products where looking somewhat frustrated as the few passaby where not patronizing them as it suppose to be, men this is serious.

By the time I get to Etuk street and meet my customer I usually by things from, the story turns a different dimension as the prices of commodities is soaring almost 4x the usual price. In fact, I stood dumbfounded for over 10 minutes without knowing what to say.

The price of Pears cream which was originally ₦400 (1.3 hive) was later sold at ₦850 (2.8 hive), and as at today I bought it ₦1,050 (almost 3.2 hive as at today).

The price of Lude polish which was originally ₦150 (less than 1 hive) now goes for ₦500 (1.5 hive).

Then the MYMY Herbal paste which was ₦250 (almost 1 hive) before now goes for ₦900 (2.4 hive). And the list of other things goes on like that. Now any item you know the price today, by the time you return tomorrow it will have change overnight

.

As it appears I could not buy all the items I intentionally budget for going by the available cash with me, hence I end up buying only three items with the hope of coming back again.

The few persons that stop by to buy things where I bought were just complaining about the situations and lament how they will cope as the situation continues without no respite in sight.

So far, I left the market, boarded a bus and return home. On getting back home now, I did not waste any time in creating this post for submission before going for what to eat at dinner as I wait for the mother of the house to return.

That has been my fitness walk today in words and pictures as I make over 11150 steps. Thank you all as you took the pain to read along my days episode.

See you tomorrow.
