I just visited a family friend yesterday in Port Harcourt and over heard argument from them over the increase in prices of everything. One of them just said, he went to buy half bag of rice and he was told to pay 12,500 naira. And I was just laughing inside me. It got to the extent that I have to jokingly intervened by telling the guy that initiated the discussion to take it easy nah,that the price of rice in Lagos is sold at 13,500 and we are even complaining over there.

It's from there that my brother who came to pick me said I cannot buy a bag of rice with 18k in Port-Harcourt. But, with my greatest surprise, I embarked on a routine pricing of rice today and was told that the last price for a bag is 18,500 naira. I just came back few minutes ago and decided to ask my amiable nairalanders their own observations.

HOW MUCH IS BAG OF RICE SOLD IN YOUR LOCATION?

Chai! God bless you for this thread. I went to market on Saturday to buy my usual half bag of rice, but got the shock my life
