Origin: ayindejimmy: The measure used in these places mentioned are sometimes different..We used paint container in some part of the south and in Lagos like the one shown below while the one used in Ibadan and some other places are way smaller(half the size) and the price can not be the same...so say what you know..dont call people parents liars and crooks based on false premises

Origin:The measurement in Ibadan, Ogun and Ondo is different. They use Congo (a small bowl) and two Congos is equal to one paint bucket used in Lagos. |

Most farmers now prefer to sell their produce to the Chinese and Indians who apparently pays them more. The issue of union is also a major factor as they tend to hike their prices arbitrarily and lay it at the foot of unstable exchange rates. There are places you can get a tuber of yam for 350/tuber, yet in lagos same tuber costs 1k-for what? The only explanation they give you is things have gone up and that's all. |

ayindejimmy: I'm surprised to see likes swarming this quote, Apartment from the burden on cassava farming shifting to the southwest causing demand to surge n eventually an increase in price Herds men attacks have actually happened here a couple times, just not as bad as the north and doesn't receive much publicity I actually abandoned a farm on the outskirt of Oyo last year just because of this herdsmen issue So it's untrue to say there hasn't been no attacks here.. apart from bloody attacks, these guys trample on peoples farm indiscriminately, and they act like 'iss nothing' or '..and so what?' or they apologize and still do it again tomorrow, the hostile ones acts like deaf and dumb and just adjust their knife, I'm just sticking with livestock for now, too young to die 2 Likes |

Origin:the question need to to ask yourself is simple. Does Lagos state produce cassava? If your answer is no, then you have asked a foolish question, because if farmers were been attacked where the garri is been produce before transporting it to Lagos definitely Lagos will be more affected than Ogun and Oyo. 1 Like |

Origin:. My dear if you have ever gone to farm,you will understand what the present situation is. Unfortunately,it appears we have not seen the highest point of the price rise. I advice you to go and plant your own cassava. 1 Like |

Origin: We have a lot of problems with intellectual capacity of people on social media, the man is is talking on general terms as National President (Nigeria Cassava Growers Association). Ordinarily, I would not have responded to this posting having noticed a lot of inexperienced and unexposed postings which made me to stop posting for a very long time. Firstly, Garri, a custard plastic of Ijebu Garri is between =N=1,000 and above in Ogun State where I live and my state. This is also the price in Lagos. In economics, price is determined by forces of demand and supply. In Ibadan, you can never get the same garri above at 500 as quoted by you. Coming to the issue of herdsmen attacks, the man has never said South West only as he is talking in general terms. Products move from one region to another. Herdsmen attack in the middle belt or Edo can affect product supplies to Lagos area due to population and demand. The herdsman attack on Chief Olu Falae and various attacks that are not reported in South West because the problems have been on for a very long time. For Fayose, the Ekiti State Governor to have a sent a grazing bill to the House of Assembly shows the pains being felt by the people there. In year 2000, when there was a fight between the Fulanis and Yorubas in Shaki after several yorubas were killed and yoruba fought back. General Buhari, Brig Gen Marwa and others came to Ibadan to read a riot order to the then Governor Lam Adesina (now late). The Governor was not moved. When Chief Falae was kidnapped, Kwankwankso former Governor of Kano State was also telling us about the strength of fulanis . I think Gen Buhari having sympathized with Fulani as one of their leaders and part of ACF in October year 2000 gives the Fulani an authority to invade any farm in Nigeria now that he is in power. I wonder if any section of Nigeria will raise a general, a brigadier general and members of regional group to read a riot order to a governor or president over various killings by the fulanis. Below is an online version of two newspapers that explained what happened in October 2000. http://pointblanknews.com/pbn/exclusive/buhari-attacked-late-oyo-gov-2000-fulani-herdsmen/ https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/soc.culture.nigeria/6meFgnMrTf0 http://thenationonlineng.net/how-lam-prevented-another-civil-war/ |

udysweet: U still eat garri? We stopped two months ago cos hubby wanted to reduce carb intake. Surprisingly, all other options are cheaper and have less carb. We now eat millet and guinea corn. We buy from oyigbo MKT and grind it. Sometimes, we buy wheat ( honeywell) when we don't have time to buy from oyigbo MKT. |

Origin: The less the farmers, the lower the product quantity. And the law of supply and demand will explain to you that for equilibrium price and quantity to be arrived at, as quantity drops, price rises, because the demand for this quantity is either the same or at worst even increasing (remember this is a "Griffen good". The economics behind it I believe, explains better. |
