‘Outrageous price’ – Wild reactions as African hunters’ jacket is sold for N2m in US

A West African hunters’ jacket was put for sale in the United States of America, Washington according to a tweet from a man going by the name Kalu Aja.

After learning the jacket’s price, which many referred to as “mere,” many were astounded. The jacket was marked with a price of $45,000 which is equal to N2,071,530.

Many were marveled after getting to know the price of the jacket which many termed as “mere”. A price tag of $45,000 which is equivalent to N2,071,530 was put on the jacket.

Kalu believed that it was offered as art and not as a bulletproof, despite the fact that many people believed it to be a bulletproof or a spiritual armor that protects people when hunting.

The jacket amused many art enthusiasts on social media, who claimed that it should cost more than the $45,000 given the protection it offers.

Others, on the other hand, considered the jacket to be just a simple hunting jacket and did not see the need for it to be sold at such an exorbitant price.
