A medium sized tuber goes for 1k here.

Nobody tell us, we done go farm 300 heaps of yam now.
The best thing now is to farm, my dad after retiring bought a very big land where he employed some youths to farm yams,tomatoes,onions etc on it, he also own a farm where he plants only rice and believe me, they don't spend money going to the market to buy foodstuffs, because he has everything in his farm, he also own fish ponds, own alot of cows, goats and rams.

Agriculture is the future, alot of youths don't know this, they just want to work in a big office. I'm also planning to get my own farm too and I will employ some youths that will work on it.

Some tomato sellers now prefer to sell those broken ones rather than the full hard tomatoes. Households now opt for awarawa, shebi we go still blend am? Why buy the hard fine tomatoes? cheesy

FMCG companies saw the future, that's why they started producing things in sachets. Should have told us what we are in for. Even hypo dey inside sachet.

Not a new thing in the north, they sell yam in fractions, noodles in cups (like rice) etc. Yams are scarce this time of the year and quite expensive. At least this year, I'm still seeing yams of N900. This time last year, I couldn't get yam of less than 1k per tuber till new yam season came along in August. I'm not saying people are not suffering o but on this yam matter, it's high price is not out of the ordinary.

Well during PDP's tenure
Borders were not shut...we could still bring in food items
Oga na only few people dey go farm now 4 fear of herdsmen...even if u eventually farm, same herdsmen will graze on ur farmland with their cattle & u can't do nada cuz they are armed...also the president is dia grand patron so even if you arrest them, they get released quickly without u getting any compensation.
Some.
It's only during APC's tenure that farmers have to seek for permission from security operatives b4 they visit dia farms....ah neva been hear that one b4 in my life & if you don't...u are on your own.
With these few points of mine....I hope I have been able to enlighten you as to why APC is worse.
Tho i dont support any of both parties but we never had it this bad & pls dont blame falling oil prices again for food items that we cultivate.

I asked a simple question

How would PDP have done differently?

I also accept that apc has failed too.

Well low oil prices affects our revenue which in turn affects how much money reaches Nigerians

We were here before in the 1980s . Oil crashed in 1982. And thus revenue fell

Now this does not excuse apc like you think I am doing. There are certian measures they could have taken to raise revenue that they did not take.

And neither does it excuse PDP for wasting the years of plenty. And for not taking measures like apc has not done too to diversify us away from oil.

Buhari & NNPC currently has wasted N149billion in the futile seismic search for crude oil in the Chad basin, dont take my word for it....use google.
Abeg buhari & Apc na curse to Nigerians...u can't tell me otherwise.

I read somewhere that there is nothing they don’t sell in cups there. Lucky them! cheesy

Pieces of yam have always been a thing, but I have never seen them this tiny. Maybe na people wey dey sell fried yam go buy this one o.

Quite true.



They open spags, break and divide it into 5 or 10 equal parts and sell them like that. Same with macaroni.

They said those pastas come in BAGS from Dangote. They don’t come in the usual packs we know. I will like to visit a Northern city, let me see how they live. Too many culture shocks loading… cheesy
