As received from several persons, the price of Onions in South-South and South-East states seems to have taken an upward turn. As seen online, prices of onions have grown almost over a 100%. A man complained online of his wife buying 4 pieces of onions for 500 Naira and another got 5 smaller pieces for same price.

The growth in price has been linked to the burning of the Onion Market in Aba. As reported by a twitter user, Omasoro Ali Ovie, following the events of the protest and aggravation of IPOB, trucks used for transporting onions from the north were burnt at first then the onion market itself was burnt down. This was said in response to a twitter user Jess who asked why there’s no Onion in Owerri.

This is part of the lessons for us to follow peaceful dialogue and know that the pain of whatsoever damages will cause in the pursuit of our desires will be borne by us and not the people will intend to punish. As it is right now, the arsonists who are largely low income earners are also part of those who will bear the pain. They may not use onion to cook but ‘Aboki’ will not have onions for the Suya they’ll buy.

Omasoro has sumtin to say..

I listened to one of Nnamdi kanu broadcast during the burning down of Lagos and I was opportuned to go tru his Facebook post, honestly I had mixed feelings..

1st, I was impressed... Kanu is an intelligent man.. He speak the truth in a crude way... I was touched and I saw reality in most of what he say.. Honestly, I admire Kanu alot and I will try to be listening to his programs now.

2nd and worst part, the violence he incites is what I don't like in his broadcast.. Seems the followers are more obedient to the violent part than the wisdom and revelations he gives.
I hate that part of inciting violence... Violence begat violence and a number of his people may suffer for it.. Not in south east but in other part of the nation......



But I don't wanna bliv that it was IPOB that burnt down markets in Aba, their hometown?.


Maybe more evidence Sha.

Cc: imhotep

We die here. all of us will now get sense by force

Shall we say that FG caused ordinary Nigerians to burn facilities that they use? Deeds done in a moment of anger can have repercussions that last for decades.
#we can protest peacefully.
The consequences of violence can be massive.

IPOB

It is so true.

IPOB hijacked the EndSARS and turned it to a tribal war not minding the consequences.

Like I always say Kanu will cause more harm to the Igbos than good.

How can u burn trucks bringing food when you don't have enough in your place.




Now Kanu is hiding in a hole in the UK he gets his complete daily meal without stress but he instigated his miscreants back home to burn down food trucks

Every action has its consequences.. For me I don't believe in random burning of things that will affect one later.. Personal businesses burnt were not necessary, no excuse at all

SO, enjoy the fruits of your hard labour IPOB

Funny thing is that people don't think these things through.. The endsars protest was largely hijacked by wicked and heartless people against their own people

Probably you guys are tired of blocking interstate roads..

Enjoy it while it lasts

We keep learning everyday...

We have now learnt that PROTESTS are like FIRE.. Can proved you with warmth and can burn you down if you are not careful.

TESTING NOI FOR WTO

Onions were already scanty in the markets and expensive before the protests started.
So this can't be the major reason.

With the exception of some northern States, onions are expensive everywhere and not limited to the SE and SS.

Mr man get your fact right, presently in the North onions is very scarce and expensive due to the recent raining season that spoil lots of farm products that are yet to be harvested, in kano where am residing presently will are also crying of the high cost of onions, is it riot that cause it?

can't we farm onion in the south? i believe it will do well.

Onions and Tomatoes were already getting costly before the protest but the raiding and burning of the produce mkt in Aba cemented it. trucks of yams, watermelons and Onions were looted.

Nnamdi Kanu bu onye aburu onu. A cursed being .Let him keep deceiving these young men

Anybody fanning the embers of hatred and stoking the fires of war should come and lead from the front.

I can't associate myself with any movt whose leader lacks decorum and curses at will. He is a fit candidate for a mental institution.

Is not almost 100%, is about 300% 50 naira onion is now 200 naira

Is onions cheap in Lagos? Is the Onions market in Aba supplying every market in Igbonland and the South West? What happened to the Onions in the commodity markets is in Rivers, Owerri, Enugu, Abakilili?

What happened to the onions at Ahia Ohuru in Aba?

Please let's not give voice to the wickedness of traders who will Jack up prices of goods because of the protest.

Yes, there will be consequences for the foolishness of Igbos for burning the market in Aba but that does not in any way explain the hike in price in Lagos and elsewhere.

alizma:

Please South-East and South-South start cultivating vegetables including Onions. Do not depend on the skills of other people to supply you onions.

Who supplies the palm oil used in the north?

Which one is onions market in aba again. There is no onions market as onions is sold every where. Secondly which trucks were burnt? People just sit at home and fabricate stories

.. That's good for them since most of them were supporting those thugs called "protesters" when they were burning people's properties..
Let them feel the heat.. Hausas should stop supplying them onions and goats. I know they can't live without he-goats..

Ok

Time to grow your own onions. Nigerians will always look at a business opportunity as a reason to complain then complain about not having money.

True but when will you start harvesting and how do you plan to manage during the GAO between planting and harvesting?

Onions take 90 days to grow. Start one patch, wait 30 days do another, wait 30 days do another. etc. You will reach a point where you're producing monthly. Name a business that will give you genuine ROI in 90 days.
