“We’re a greedy nation” – Laura Ikeji slams business owners inflating prices over Detty December

She noted that while December is typically a period of high sales for businesses, exploiting customers under the guise of seasonal demand is unfair and damaging.

She emphasized that many diaspora Nigerians are regular people who work hard, save up, and return home to enjoy themselves, not to be exploited.

According to her, the trend of inflating prices for returnees has been ongoing and increasingly out of hand.

She argued that even the former ₦70,000 charge for hair braiding was already high, questioning the justification for nearly tripling the price within a short period.

Beyond the beauty industry, Laura extended her criticism to the housing sector, blaming the rise of short-term rentals such as Airbnb for contributing to increased rent across the country.

She alleged that landlords, seeing the high daily rates for short-let apartments, have transferred that mindset to annual rent pricing, further burdening residents.

Reiterating her stance, Laura maintained that greed remains a major issue affecting various sectors in the country.
