Explanation:

Dear [friend's name],

I hope this letter finds you well. You asked about the cost of living in Nigeria, and unfortunately, I have to say that it has become quite difficult in recent years. The rise in prices of commodities has been significant, and it has made it challenging for many people to make ends meet.

One of the biggest issues has been the increase in the cost of food. Basic staples such as rice, beans, and vegetables have become more expensive, and it has put a strain on many households. Fuel prices have also gone up, which has had a knock-on effect on transportation costs and the prices of goods and services.

Another factor that has made living more expensive is the devaluation of the naira, Nigeria's currency. This has made it more expensive to import goods and has led to higher prices for many items. Additionally, the rate of inflation has been high, which has further pushed up the cost of living.

All this is not to say that living in Nigeria is impossible, but it has become harder than it used to be. Despite these challenges, the Nigerian people are known for their resilience and resourcefulness, and many are finding ways to adapt and make the most of their situation.

I hope this gives you a better understanding of the current situation here. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Take care
