Lucky you. Here in the EAST, there's no #2,500 Yam. That Yam you bought for 2,500 goes for 6k here in the EAST. Price of things are too expensive here. That's why most families can't afford to eat in a day. It is that bad.

Hunger is really dealing with People here. FG must do something about this before, a pandemic will break out in the East.
You lie. That yam max is 1,200. When dem don cheat you. Even it's cheaper in the villages sef.

Nigerians are starving and some of the causes are based on wicked policies and not necessarily a general paucity of funds within the government. Take for instance, the low protein consumption amongst Nigerians. This is because of the federal government embargo on the importation of beef, which has been in place since the end of the war in the 70s. Most Nigerians don't know this, but you can't import beef into this country. This policy was ostensibly enacted to help local farmers, yet, most of the cows slaughtered in this country on daily basis are all coming in from Mali, Chad, Niger and Mauritania! Is that not importation!? The foreign herders come in, sell, change their earnings into dollars and disappear through the borders without paying any sort of taxes!
Is it the policy or the citizens laziness?
Must you import beef? Don't we have plenty bush wasting?



The federal government has turned the Fulani herdsmen into some sort of monopolies in this area. They set prices and since you can't buy elsewhere, you must buy from them! In the east as at today, a cow is chasing half a million naira! How many pieces will the guy in the restaurant cut this thing to make a profit?? Even when there are obvious shortages in terms of supplies nationally, the government will never allow for importation to augment what is on ground. This has led to a situation where Nigerianns eat their meals with little or no meat. And this shows in the physical appearances of most Nigerians. Folks need to force the government to lift this ban. If the Fulani herdsmen have chosen kidnappings and arson to herding, folks should be allowed to import beef from other areas like Australia, Argentina or even other African countries like Kenya and co. Visit other West African countries and you will notice that even though they are poorer than us, they feed a lot better than us...
nothing stops you from buying one and breeding it

Point of correction OP. That is not a big Yam. That you paid big money for it doesn't make it big.

1. If I pay 1,300 for that yam, I no go fit sleep for night. Say wetyn?

2. Na oil city wey no dey grow yam you dey, so I understand why.

3. Even if you cook am in full, plus the gas, energy used, time spent cooking for me, I still no pay that amount. Kilode?

4. I'd rather use that money to take transport to Owerri, buy yam eat Belle full for inside the money, then transport go back to PH go relax. I cannot come and kill myself.

I remember posting the pear and mangoes i bought on two different occasions in Benin with the prices, and people went crazy. Some even said I was lying. Oya doubting Thomases food don set.

I second what you say.

The day I saw Shell drivers paying cash for 1 whole batch of Kings vegetable oil (the ones that used to come in tins with special openers) in Mile 1 market when my mum was pricing one tin for like 10 minutes was the day I swore I will never be a poor man in this life. This was 1989.

If you live in PH and you are not financially free, you must think critically if that town is for you.

Last week, I bumped into a group of youth in Nicon Luxury all dressed in suits, numbering about 50. When I noticed they were going for lunch and it was buffet, I enquired who they are. A staff told me they have been there for over a week and have been undergoing training. All for Tinubu. These are young guys who will very soon hijack the social media. There are also groups in Lagos and Port Harcourt.

You know what, when they are unleashed, you will understand. That's what they used against Goodluck. It will be worse for PO because the social media is his strongest point right now. Each of these boys will have up to 100 social media accounts and will be online 24/7. If you make any post, within an hour you will get a 100 attacks, neutralizing any positive thing you may have posted about PO. They will come in different identities, including Igbo, so people will be confused. It is war, but PO team doesn't seem to understand this yet. I was speaking with Val yesterday. I told him about it, hoping he would understand. This is not the type only him will be replying PO critiques, he will be overwhelmed.

The tactics is based on studies of countries where incumbent presidents were beaten in elections. APC did the study and deployed it well against Goodluck. They are at it again, but the youths will not allow them succeed this time. We are tired of being FUULED and manipulated by this evul old men. Our Mumu don do! Youths wake up and smell the rotten coffee!

That is why Elon Musk's mission to unmask and scrap all bot-operated and fake accounts on Twitter is a task that must be accomplished.

It is cheap at 2500.You cannot get less than 3000 in Kano city.

Maybe we should tell countries outside Nigeria to plant yam so we can start importing. And it will be far cheaper than the ones we plant here. An average Nigeria is wicked. The disparity is prices of items from the source to the consumers is too large.

Effective rail transport would have helped but bandits will not let it be.

Touts in the guise of collecting levies tax petty traders a lot.

Plantain is equally very expensive.

It does not bother our leaders.

Which way Nigeria.
