Can a Lagosian Still Afford Bread?
In Nigeria, petrol isn’t just about transportation — it’s a signal. When it spikes, everything follows, especially the price of everyday essentials like bread. And when bread becomes unaffordable, it’s not just a cost issue — it’s a crisis of dignity.
This project explores how fuel price hikes ripple through to the cost of bread in Lagos. Because at some point, when the price of bread starts to feel like a luxury, you have to ask: “What else is quietly slipping out of reach?”
Methodology
Bread price data came from the World Bank Microdata Library:

I wrote two Python scripts:
Final count: 65 valid bread price records.
Petrol prices were sourced from the National Bureau of Statistics:

Insights That Hit Hard
- July 2021
Petrol: ₦164.08
Bread: ₦609.76
→ A brief stable period — bread prices even dropped to ₦427.50 while petrol stayed under ₦170. - February 2023
Petrol: ₦305.63
Bread: ₦300.00
→ Bread and fuel almost cost the same. That says a lot. - May 2024
Petrol: ₦636.80
Bread: ₦297.83
→ Petrol cost more than 2x a loaf of bread. A first. - April 2025
Petrol hit an all-time high: ₦880.00
Bread: ₦390.00
→ Bread was now less than half the cost of petrol.

My Approach
- Built a fully responsive dashboard using HTML, CSS, JS, and Chart.js
- Hosted dynamic assets via jsDelivr.net for clean rendering
- Applied linear regression to forecast how rising petrol might shape bread pricing
If you can’t afford petrol, you walk.
If you can’t afford bread, you endure.
But when both become too expensive — survival itself becomes negotiation.
