Tomato Wahala: See What Mum Brought From England

Hi guys, usually when mum travels, she brings stuffs like clothes, chocolates and stuff. this is usually the norm for those who can relate. But this time around, she brought a box load of this. Got it at tesco for 3 for £1. so far so good it has been serving us well in this trying times grin

She should have gone to Aldi or Lidl, she would have easily bought 10 cans for £1.

Few years ago, you could get these for 5 for a £1. These are the cheaper variety, good quality tomatoes will cost you about 85p for a tin.

Haba, was it planted by the Royal family? Would it taste any better? Would the difference be identified by the tongue, mouth and belly?
Tomato nah Tomato joor

That rubbish with only 3 or 4 peeled tomatoes and lots of water or juice in it? It's surely not worth the stress. Besides, you can get same at justrite superstore at Abule- Egba or Iyana Ipaja etc. We have tinned tomatoes here too. So, your Mum needn't go through the stress of bringing in those things.

And people called those producing Nigeria tomatoes parasites

Imagine pepper,onion and meat too are as scarce as this tomato ?

So north to is important as without what they produce there will be no good soup

Every region is important and there is reason why God brought us together

Can people not plant tomatoes in their backyards?am sick of hearing tomatoes in the news.

Tomatoes are easily planted,and doesn't take long to grow,so pple get planting.

If you plant tomatoes in your backyard, also buy an Ak-47 to guard it, at N40,000 per basket, robbers would prefer that tomato to that your android phone.

Are you sure you didn't buy this yourself and took this pics in England, then just claimed mum bought and flew with it to make the story sweet.

Pishure of you and the tomatoes in a Nigerian background or you know the rest.

Just four comments and it made front page? How na

Dude took those pics himself in the UK. His mum didn't bring any sh1t to Naija. His claim was fabricated to make the story sweet and possibly hit FP.

I challenge him to take pics of the tomatoes in a Naija background, even without his face but the tomatoes showing. Cheap stunt.
