What is the essence of this post? The Cassava was imported into that country.

Also, that is £1 Akpụ in a country that imports Akpụ. Show us ₦1 Akpụ in Nigeria that cultivates Akpụ.

£1 can afford something, a foreign product for that matter, in the UK. What can ₦1 afford in Nigeria?

How much can someone earn per hour in the UK and how much can someone earn the whole day in Nigeria?

Una go run japa. Una go reach there begin complain. Una go still refuse to come back. Even when una visit Nigeria, una go rush go back. Na una still dey complain. What exactly is your problem?

Thats quite a huge difference in price, must be because of import taxes and transportation costs.

It was likely Exported from Nigeria. undecided

Or the Cassava itself was exported from Nigeria/Africa and the Akpu made in a factory,
Hence that price you are seeing. smiley

You can't compare with Nigeria When we have Cassava farms all over the Country.

Our Fufu and Garri is slightly costly now to High Transport cost farmers use to take the Cassava from their farms to the house and House to the market. smiley

And so? Why call the price in naira instead of the I dollar/pounds or Euro it is?
Should they have sold it 1cent?

Stop this unecessary conversion abeg.

Here comes another evil and mischievous comparison.


This is the same mistake some groups are doing, by declaring Nigeria as the cheapest country to live. She is cheap if you're making money in other currency, not for the citizens whose earning is based on the #30k ($20) minimum wage.

Minimum wage in Europe is between £500 to £2571 (depends on location)
I.e. #843,500 to #4,337,277


Minimum wage in Nigeria is £17
I.e. #30,000

2571 wraps: A person living in Europe will be able to buy about 2571 pieces of that Akpu with his/her month salary;

300 wraps: while a person living in Nigeria will be able to buy just 300 pieces with his/her month salary


Let's start using our brain before we make unnecessary comparison.


Someone in Nigeria make #174 per hour; which can buy only one akpu while

Someone in Europe makes about £15 per hour which can buy 15 Akpu.

You can't expect it to be cheap. Cassava flour is exported abroad at high price. The seller pay shop rent in dollars. So the selling price must be in dollar. When we convert it to naira, it is high to us but cheap to those living abroad.

When you see them comparing prices, they would tell you that we are enjoying and we should be buying fufu for at least 1800

So that smugglers would not sabotage our economy by exporting our fufu out
