In some places in Abuja, a plate of food with bottle water goes as high as 10K. The way people live expensively in Abuja is what I can't decipher. If you no get ride, ur money go finish for Bolt

I dey tell u o.
For for typical cornershops in abuja cost pass restaurant foods sef.
And they keep opening more expensive eateries.
Lest I forget, yesterday I couldn't find a place to buy chinos trousers in gwarimpa for less than 15k

PARADIZEPRIEST:
LAZY YOUTHS,YOU MEAN YU CANT FRY AKARA?

No mind am. He can arrange 5 cement sacks with soil and plant beans at his backyard that he can harvest and eat for 3 months. Na laziness dey worry some of our youths.

You say wetin
1cup=N120
2cups=N240.

Shey na the remaining 10 naira e go carry go grind the beans, buy groundnut oil, pepper, onion and the rest.

I wonder

Not too bad, we have been buying same for same price since last year. We pray it shouldn't further than this

Halimaatz:
250 what!.

You could just buy 2cup of beans and make your own akara ur self.

Please how is akara made

This seem to be the norm in yorubaland, one small ball of akara being sold for #50

By the way, this looks like àkàrà elépo. I thought this is only sold in my town

Likewise here in Yenagoa. The state of only eight LGAs that produced nothing except pure water and fish. Even fish prices here are highly exorbitant compared to Abuja.

Mad people!

Liar.

Before making some assertion, know that there are people currently in SouthEast.

This Akara is going for #200 in Onitsha, Awka and Enugu.

Food is relatively cheap in SouthEast except frozen fish and meat which is same everywhere in Nigeria.

The only issue confronting SE residents is high cost of accommodation and lack of business friendly atmosphere due to excessive tax and levies.

I bursted ur lies to clear wrong assumption because I know you are not in the East as we speak.

Big lie.
You just confirmed that, you've not been to the East this year. Food and other commodities in the East is far from being affordable. That Akara is about 1k here in the East.

Una go sit-down for either Kaduna, Kano, Lagos or Ibadan dey assume things wey dey happen for East wey I dey.

Senomii:
Ntooooooorrrrrrr!!
Next time when any political party promise una change, una go kneel down beg dem to keep the change

Hahahahahaha lol

Mad people!

I just noticed that the only thing I noticed on this thread is the OP’s stress on “island.”

Mehn, poverty don scatter my joy.

FunkyAlhaji2015:


Mudu of beans is 600naira oga

Where!!!!!! Tell me let me rush and buy it. Mudu of beans here is #1100

Point of correction this is "MADE IN IKOYI" Akara

Is this an old thread that was brought to front page? Cos this are big Akara balls being sold for #50naira. Akara has been #50 naira for a smaller size for at least 2/3years now.

If he becomes America president they must experience hardship. I see his matter to be spiritual,like God's punishment.

I believe he would still be voted/rigged again If human lifespan were to be long and a little fit and fiddle for the office

Akhee:
This is 40naira akara for Minna. No place like home.

Una dey enjoy I swear. I spend all my salary on food and it's not even enough

Mariangeles:


Na so!
If you think say e easy, run am na!

Op, to be honest with you, those akara sellers are not even making much profits.

Lol...That thing takes time...

Growing up my mom makes akara on sundays after church. Before she go finish all man do commot...

Op I thought the akara you wanted to show us was as tiny as a small stone cmon jor that akara is okay for the price.
Beans is expensive, onion, pepper, oil,gas or coal fire all inclusive

Mariangeles:


In Lagos, when we say one cup, we mean one derica cup and that is about #600 per cup of beans.

Pls no vex o but I must disagree with you there. My wife is a trader and we are in Lagos. A cup is different from a derica. If a customer comes to our house and says he wants to buy two cups of beans we measure with milk cup and if she says she wants derica we ask how many.
A cup is not the same as a derica.
Even at mile 12 we know the difference.


Abeg no vex say I chook mouth.
Tankio

See this one complain, that akara is the same size I buy ₦50 per one in Enugu. Nah normal price be that... BUBU on the beat

Should I pity Nigerians.

No.

They wanted One Nigeria. One Nigeria they shall get.

I am surprised you can still buy something to eat for 250 with the astronomical dollar/pound exchange rate for naira. You should be worried about the excessive insecticides and pesticides in the beans.

Chai!!! Hunger go finish Satanist Friday Oyikocho Odeh this year.

Data sef e no get again. Na once in two days e dey troll now. Em begging runs for nairaland don spoil.

Oga they didn't cheat you o. With the cost of beans and groundnut oil, gas, and even the fuel to grind the beans, those akara balls are fair at 50n each. In my area in Ibadan, I heard my hairdresser telling someone some time back that they no longer sell 50n beans with food again. The least is 100n even then very small. Also, no more moimoi 50n. The smallest is 100n.

Halimaatz:
250 what!.

You could just buy 2cup of beans and make your own akara ur self.

What of oil, pepper, onions and frying?

Samfloxin:
By looking at the akara I noticed that the beans were probably mixed with something

Honestly u are right.
I suspect shaft of maize!!!

How were you expecting it to be?

englishmart:
I moved to Lagos from Abuja recently, and have been struggling to adapt for several reasons.

1. Food costs a bit more in Lagos than in Abuja.

2. A-20 minute distance by foot costs at least #150-200 here, unlike in Abuja where it's at mostly #100.

3. Water(drinkable water) in Abuja was almost free, and very salubrious. Here at the island, you buy sachet water (pure water) which is the only affordable water that boasts of some minimal degree of purity.

I was shocked when I ordered for Akara of 250 and got those nearly invisible 5-balls. I nearly refused it, if not for the beautiful girl that was leering at me.
To be a man, no be bobo juice.

It's in order...N50 for one

IbileIfe:

What of oil, pepper, onions and frying?

They will magically take place & produce the akara
