Yea@ bold. I was with some farmers last week who were very happy a basin of garri is now sold for almost N12,000. They were pointing out to me how they sold a basin of garri for N2,500 in 2018. How garri business has become so lucrative due to rise in dollar and subsequent rise everywhere else.

Same land, same cassava stem for planting, same planting techniques with adherence to the planting season, yet, in a space of 6yrs, garri price have quadrupled.

Na we dey do ourselves.

Na we dey do ourselves my brother,. It's too much.

YOU DEY FVCK THE SELLER?

$12 meal where? No Nigerian restaurant in the Maryland, Virginia, Washington DC metro which I just came back from sell any Nigerian food less than $23.

This is one in Boston proper. https://www.suyajoint.com/menu
It's a decent place (as far as ambiance is concerned). Go through the menu. And their soup portions are large and stocked with meat. The last time I was there it was so much goat meat I couldn't finish it.

The meal in this pic is not even comparable. Maybe a 1/5th of the soup and some swallow (which is relatively cheap).
No need to over-exaggerate.

I miss 9ja, thing cheap for 9ja no be small, Nigeria remains the only country where things are extremely cheap, but people don't no until they step out.

Did you go through the menu before posting the link, all the main meals not the appetizers are $20 and above which is what I said earlier.

That should last you at least two hours. Worth the price.

Walahi it’s okay, with regards to the current economical situation of things in Nigeria right now.
Make employee increase salary/pay of their workers as obviously they’ll increase their demands from clients too.
My company gave me 25% increments sha and it makes sense

Employers abi employees ?

The point is the place is a proper dinner restaurant. Sometimes it has live artists. Nice china, near downtown Boston. The soup is 5 times what you see in this picture. No one is paying $20 for the meal in this picture.

I went out to get lunch somewhere in Lagos today and this the food I bought for N600. That’s 4 portions of Amala with meat and ponmo.

I think a lot of food people are selling these days are over priced.

Yoruba people and their funny food...
Twueh twueh

😎

Just Negodu 🙄

Ewedu and Amala 🤔

I can't eat this poison sha 😏

planetx:
$1 is equal to 148 Japanese Yen, is Japan a poor country? Use your brain, N1000 have more purchasing value in Nigeria than $1 in the US so the hypothesis of 1 to 1 have no economic value or meaning.

Do u even reason at all bro.

As I said before, no shame, dumb citizens.

Does ₦1000 have a buying power to $1000?


You're comparing a thousand naira to a single dollar and you're saying d naira is better, how?

Bros compare 1$ to 1₦.

What can ₦1 do?

This is still very ship now

Boyooosa:


I can bet this is ogba....

Over priced? Where? Be precise

Gbayi. You sabi.

Joythah:
The food is okay. You don't want the seller to make profit. Is she your wife?
But people that eat outside dey try sha

If you go work you no go buy food chop?

MOGPman:

Employers abi employees ?

thanks, It was a mistake.

illicit:
In Ibadan maybe 500

In Abuja, 1000

it's 600 in i.b ..
A scoop of amala is 100n ..

Meat 100
Ponmo 100 ..

What kind of food is this very disgusting

We lie on everything is cost.. it truly is, but not to the point we all resort to extorting ourselves..

At most that meal should not exceed N400.

It's even cheaper getting such swallow in Lagos at #600 in some places they sell per plate around #1000

How do people manage to eat these? Looks like sick crap

Xosh:

The meal is okay at that price to me,not forgetting the current wave of foodstuffs in the country.

Have you eaten today?

planetx:
Less than a dollar in Nigeria, $23 to $25 in the US. God bless Nigeria.

Which part of the US have you been? That food for $23 in US? Keep praising rubbish.

🙄 were you expecting a full plate for that amount?

cjudy:

Which part of the US have you been? That food for $23 in US? Keep praising rubbish.

These always someone in these food threads that want to signal to everyone reading that they live in the US. So they post rubbish like this.

Same cost of herbicides, same labour cost, same cost of transportation? Those guys are just happy because if it had not been sold
for that price, they wouldn't have choice either, because the cassava will spoil if you don't uproot on time, farmers no longer plant cassava of long life span of 2-3 years anylonger. They won't also call you when the price falls.

muller101:
Combination of this amala and soup in one plate. Always appear ugly.

To you.

If you no be ritualist, where you for see #600 when you dey spend like this?

That's 6k food in Enugu

The bowl fine pass the food

chopnaira:
OP. Try to cook your own food at home.

Gbam.
Let's see if #600 can get him that.

PassiveIncomes:
Start Cultivating Food in Nigeria.
Doing This Will Bring Down The Cost of Foods in Nigeria. There's No Need To Complain. There's Enough Arable Lands in Nigeria To Cultivate Your Foods.

Things Will Only Get Worse For People Who Have Refused To Go into Farming Foods For Themselves.

Don't mind them, na only complain dem sabi.

jamesversion:


So agricultural produce sold for N2500 in 2020 should now be sold for 12k?

Demand and supply conditions.
