THE MONOPOLY TRAP How Poverty Is Weaponized & Why Nigerians Keep Paying More

Why does everything seem to cost more? And what happens when a few players control too much of a market? In this episode we explore The Monopoly Trap — the relationship between market power, competition, poverty, and the prices Nigerians pay for everyday goods and services. We discuss how limited choices can affect consumers, why prices can remain high, who benefits from concentrated markets, and what stronger competition could mean for the average Nigerian. This is a conversation about economics, business, power, poverty, and the everyday Nigerian experience.
