Former BBNaija housemate Khloe Abiri has expressed frustration over the rising cost of running businesses in Nigeria.

Her comments, shared in an Instagram post, have sparked reactions on X, with Nigerians debating the challenges of doing business in the country.
Former Big Brother Naija housemate Khloe Abiri has raised concerns over the growing difficulties of running a business in Nigeria, saying the situation is becoming unbearable for entrepreneurs.
The reality TV star, who also runs businesses, appealed to the government to address the rising cost of operations, particularly petrol, electricity, rent and supplies.
Her comments have generated reactions on social media, with several Nigerians sharing their experiences and opinions about the country’s business environment.
Khloe speaks on difficulties facing business owners
In an Instagram post, Khloe questioned whether government officials understood the financial pressure facing business owners who struggle to keep their businesses operational.
According to her, entrepreneurs are forced to spend almost all their earnings on petrol, leaving little money for expansion, reinvestment and workers’ welfare.
She also explained that business owners want to improve their employees’ salaries and working conditions but are finding it increasingly difficult to do so.
The former BBNaija housemate wrote:
“It is becoming unbearable to own and operate a business in this country. Our workers deserve better salaries. We want to pay them more, improve their welfare and create better working conditions. But how do we do that when we are exhausting almost everything just trying to keep the business running?”
Khloe further listed electricity bills, rent, supplies and other operational expenses as some of the challenges making business survival difficult.
She appealed to those in government to create an environment where legitimate businesses could operate without constantly struggling to survive.
Nigerians react to Khloe’s business complaints
Following the post shared on X , several Nigerians reacted to Khloe’s concerns, with some agreeing with her position and others urging business owners to consider other options.
A user, Hotmale FENDI, explained that running a business in Nigeria could be mentally and financially exhausting because of rising expenses and unstable government policies.
The user also suggested that walking away could sometimes make more sense than continuing to struggle against an unfavourable business environment.
