“I Blow N800K Weekly Just to Survive!” — Yul Edochie’s Signee Cries Out Over Nigeria’s Crushing Economy
V.ic, the music artist signed under actor Yul Edochie’s label, has opened up about the severe financial strain he faces in today’s Nigeria, revealing that his daily expenses average a staggering ₦750,000 to ₦800,000.
In a video shared on his social media page, the rising singer lamented the skyrocketing cost of living, especially for those living in high-end areas like Lagos Island. “Even garri, which used to be the poor man’s meal, has now become a luxury item,” he said, visibly frustrated.
V.ic didn’t just speak for himself—he raised concerns about the millions of Nigerians who have no steady income. “How are they surviving?” he asked, shaking his head. “I’m spending this much and I have no physical evidence to show for it.”

“Sometimes I look at my weekly spending, and I’m like, where did all the money go?” he said. “It’s crazy out here. People are really suffering, and nobody is talking enough about it.”
