@op i beg to disagree with you. I reside in kaduna. Though the price of tomato has dropped but a basket going for 800 naira is unbelievable.

Dullahi:
I don't know about other parts in the country. But it has come down here in Kaduna. Not sure of the current price to be honest.

Can you explain what factors that brought the price down?

Bolustic:



If you happen to reside or serve in the north, you wouldn't disbelieve the news.
I remember there were times I would tell my tomato seller to reduce it coz it's too much for 50 naira and put pepper instead.

Learn to believe good news, everything ain't propaganda.

North is too far. Around nsukka in Enugu dat is a bit close to the north, I dare not use tomato #50 to cook one pot of stew. Don't mind that dude praying for Nigeria to get worse, I really don't know wat dey stand to gain if Buhari fails.

fiizznation:
A basket of fresh tomatoes sold at 800naira? I know the exuberant price of tomatoes will crash, but a basket of fresh tomatoes sold at 800naira, neah i refuse to believe this story.

Stay in Kaduna, we bought tomatoes for 750 naira at rido market....

I can't bliv it

nrexzy:
Finally d govt is working...remaining bag of Rice and petrol...

no be small mak dat one come down make we rest small

dunkem21:
Fake alarm.. Tomato is not selling N800/basket..


You guys should stop this propaganda.

it might be true, I wanted to buy 50 naira worth tomato today and when the woman gave me, I have to ask her if she is not cheating herself by selling 200 worth for mr

Another sponsored propaganda has resurfaced.

Awaiting Dollar to dramatically crash like this against The Naira #ANewNigeria #ANewNation

DropShot:
This should be on the front page.

It's a deadly blow to the haters of the current administration and Nigeria.

Kudos to PMB (after all, na him dem blame for the high cost before).



As I normally say, what doesn't kill us will eventually makes us stronger. And gradually, Nigeria will emerge stronger from the current economic woes.

See as this Otondo man dey rejoice like say you dey live here when prices of the product hit the sky...

You dey buy am for Iya kudi and mallam bature hand for that obodo oyinbo wey you dey live abi?

Jonathan ko, Buhari ni....

Treated and pest resistant seeds and plants were imported from Turkey and a few other countries. Just confirmed that it's 1,200 for a basket here in Kaduna.

I'm not willing to argue with you. You have the internet in your palms. Use it.

DropShot:

No P. The next one you'll buy will be below N500.

PMB is working, right?

oga, if he is working, let him bring the dollar to 200 naira, then we will know he is working.

I wish our leaders would start asking questions; like, how come we're able to solve this problem without foreign help? How come we have enough tomatoes grown by Nigerians? How come we're not importing tomatoes?

A scientific examination of these simple questions would suddenly open their eyes to the true meaning of education, and that farmers are the most educated group of people in Africa. And if they probe further they'll realize its because the acquisition of agricultural knowledge is done in our native languages across Africa- a research I've done.

Interesting

This is one reason farming is not lucrative. ...there is no price control by the Govt and there are no industries to mop up access produces..no no no ...the thing no work....

crixtex:


Even in this propaganda news, u still have no peace... u must kip defending because we must attack u well....
How is passingshot?

Speak for yourself.

Thank God that signify that the same thing will happen to other challenges facing the masses in this great nation.

The OP stated that "A small basket of tomato, which sold for N25,000 in May, is now going for N800 in Kaduna. And, no, it is not a joke".

KADUNA not lagos etc. They produce tomatoes over there.
