Food items in Nigeria is reportedly so expensive now that some people cannot afford to buy a full tuber of yam anymore but buy the ones cut in pieces as circled in the photo...
Do you know that Bens is now cheaper than rice?
Are there particular states where you find food items cheaper is this an all round thing?

I am never lucky with beans in this Abuja. I am always buying the ones that will spend 3 hours on the fire, yet will not be totally soft. I dont really like white beans.
DeleteBuy honey beans or use kanwu
DeleteMy own question is what concerns foreign currency with Nigeria local food items?
DeleteThis is so heart breaking, I'm trying hoping things would get better.
ReplyDeleteBeans cheaper than rice where?
ReplyDeleteI follow you ask oh
DeleteNooo! Beans is more expensive than rice. A derica of sweet beans here in Lagos is #700 while long grain rice is #500
ReplyDeleteStella I think you meant to say beans is costlier than rice. Who would have thought.
ReplyDeleteGas is now #700
Everything is on the high. No need to complain again
That was how I was craving yam the other day and went to buy. Very small tuber of yam that's not even enough for three people they told me 1000. I kuku Waka comot.
Yesterday evening my mom and I we harvested three stands of our yam
I cooked it this morning before I will end up eating it in the dream.
Even in the dream sef, hardship has caught up with winches that they no longer give food too🙄

DeleteLolz 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
DeleteBabe I go beta, that's what I know.
🤣🤣🤣🤣funny you
Delete😅🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂 abeg make una leave me oo

Delete🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 may God bless help us.
DeleteMy hubby and I were having a discussion one time and he said he was surprised to see cut cut yam for sale and asked if I’ve bought before,I answered YES Na,when we’re managing here,he gives me money for food and what I do is try to make the money sufficient for the month cos me I’m tired of complaining to him for an increase
ReplyDeleteIt’s well!
But why will they cut it into tiny pieces like this na? It dries out and you need to cut off the surface before u can cook it thereby reducing the size again. What happened to cutting into halves or quarters? It's Good that will save us in this country. Don't know when last I even ate meat and fish cos of the cost.
ReplyDeleteNobody buys that nonsense.
DeletePeople do buy it.. most times the cut yam are from partially spoiled yam, they cut out the spoilt part and selling the remaining good parts in pieces.... Country hard some people still finds it difficult to afford the pieces yam.
DeleteI bought a carton of 450g Golden morn at #8,000 on 3rd of August. Today, it's #9200.
ReplyDeleteNa kuku measurements I dey buy... Paint of spaghetti be 1k
Delete@toxic please which type of spaghetti do they sell in paint rubber..
DeleteThere is o, pasta, milk, spag usually broken ones and noodles too. It's all the market.
DeleteStella, do you mean rice is now cheaper than beans?
ReplyDeleteThe cost of food items in Abuja has made me develop shopping trauma.I sent my helper to the market for the first time because I cannot deal abeg.
ReplyDeleteWhat I know is 'WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE FOOD TO EAT BY GOD'S GRACE'
I always think about the very low to no income earners. God!
Amen!!!!!!
DeleteAmen...
DeleteAmen
DeleteRice is cheaper than rice sef.
ReplyDeleteRice is cheaper than beans sef.
ReplyDeleteThere's no amount of money you send back home now that is ever enough. I don't blame them tho, everything is Nigeria has doubled or tripled in price and not just food oh.
ReplyDeleteGas
Light bill
Fuel
Transportation
Clothes etc
May God deliver Nigeria.
It is really bad,even smoked fish some use to augment beef is a no go area,what do want to say about egg,or is it cooking gas?According to our chef Goute,he says and I quote "God will make it a way".
ReplyDeleteBeans is now more expensive thanGos rice you meant? God will help us
ReplyDeleteTo cook with meat and fish now is another thing! Too expensive to buy
ReplyDeleteFood is so expensive now that you wonder how people get to survive with the same salary pre 2015
ReplyDeleteIts so sad that Nigeria might never go back to pre-2015 again because whatever goes up doesn't come down in Nigeria.
And someone is sitting comfortably somewhere in the comfort of his cubicle aka office hailing his boss as the best president Nigeria has ever had. I pray they soon join the queue in purchasing these. #wickedmuch 😒
ReplyDeleteWhat is your state doing to support farmers ? Blaming Abuja while your redundant governor isn't doing anything to improve agriculture in your state doesn't make sense. I don't see myself criticising the president over the cost of food items. We have 3 rice belts where rice can be cultivated commercially to feed millions of people. But my state governor is only interested in white elephant projects. We punish ourselves unnecessarily , bus drivers woke up last week and arbitrarily increased fares in Benin city, there was no increase in fuel. Companies using local content for production are increasing the cost of their products biweekly. The cost of yam no bad reach to be buying pieces in Benin city.
DeleteDont be thick , don't you know that the exchange rate controls everything?
DeleteIf prices of things are expensive in the market, I'll also increase the price of the commodity I'm selling to survive. Its common sense. salary earners suffer the most during inflation
Anon Dee help me sound it to oga Alexander o!!
DeleteBros Alex, prices of everything will definitely increase because these bus drivers for instance go to the same market you go to purchase stuff, if they continue offering their services at the same price, how money go balance? It's common sense na.
Abeg..make we no talk this issue again..the thing tire me ooooo...
ReplyDeleteTo cook soup now,fear dey always catch us..felt like eating pounded yam, if you see the yam I bought,,infact, too expensive..
I never use am pound sef,I kept it in the kitchen..when ever I look at it,I wonder why such is sold for 1k
Abeg if you don't want to eat it, please send it down. I love yam eh, it's a pity it's now unaffordable.
DeleteI bought meat of 6k and it was just in small waterproof bag like that. Last year I used to buy half goat for 6500 or 7k.
ReplyDeleteWhere do we go from here ???
ReplyDeleteEvery time igo to the market,na vex mood i dey use return
ReplyDeleteGas to use in cooking the said food is also expensive.
ReplyDeleteWe go survive
ReplyDeleteI remember those days where this period you could still get yam at 700-800.Now ehn it's 1200 upwards.Imagine what it will be early next year.Na God be our provider so we will not lack..Beans own nahim vex me
ReplyDeletePass..
The seller dey vex, the buyer dey vex. My own now is that which is the best to cook with now looking at how gas has skyrocketed? should I just continue using my hot plate with prepaid? I dont know the one that is more economical again. where are we going from here God come to our rescue.
ReplyDeletePlease vote out APC and PDP come 2023
4ltrs of Kings oil that was sold for 2,500 is now 6k.
ReplyDeleteI now buy the ILtrs in Satchet,it used to be sold for 900,but presently 1,200.and the quatity has reduced.
A pack of star Maggi is 600, against the 350.Mudu of Egusi is 1,500 against 800.only God can help us in this country.
In fact Stella am tired of complaining oh
ReplyDeleteBeans is even more expensive than rice, everything is just so expensive in the market.

Last time I chop meat was at my wedding and yesterday at my sister's place.
ReplyDeleteI buy 5pieces Pomo for 200 each for cooking.

ReplyDeleteEhn?!!....so Dem Dy cut yam like that sell?😳😳
ReplyDeleteAs a grocery merchant I always try to bridge the gap between my customers. I bought yams today plus transportation for 54,000 for 100pcs. I'm selling 10pcs for #5,800 The sizes are mixed but the least size I sell in my store is #600 -#650 for those who cannot afford 10pcs.
