Fadamant:


I have been asking to know the reasons there seems to be shortage of garri(why its now expensive). So far I am not satisfied with what I have been told. Reasons like, people in rural areas no longer farming owing to communal clashes, menace of cult boys operating in villages and fulani herdsmen destroying farms with their cattle. Are these the real reasons? If they are, then why is garri expensive in rural areas too given that they produce the garri by themselves?

J0hnTrevolt:

Pecca:

so if they sell their garri to you for peanuts when they come to your shop to buy rice or fish they will add their spittle plus one of their kids to make up the ever increasing difference in price

Thats the sad tale of Nigerians and the Nigerian food/household market.

Milk has totally lost taste. in those days you will smell your neighbours cup of tea from the next house. but now you can not get such milk no matter how much you have in your wallet.

I remember when B29 soap came out. it was the first of its kind with superb smell and quality. but now, it turns to PASTE if u leave it in water for 3 mins.

Back then, you dare not use more than 2 Maggi cubes for a pot of anything you are cooking. but now....

even Coca-Cola now tastes like SH!T

quality of goods is going down, price and demand is going WAY UP.

Even @ 12 months, it is worth the effort.

Earth2Metahuman:
so, because rice becomes expensive means I should inflate the price of my own products too right?

Going by your logic, once the price of any product goes up in the market, even if its cocacola, I should increase the price of my own goods, even if the cost of production of the two products are differen. Right?

ekanDamie:

please explain this Congo thingy. we only know paint rubber.

tee59:
Here in Ibadan,one congo of garri is #300.All dis igbo garri is btw #500-550 per congo.

J0hnTrevolt:
Everything has lost value. From my favorite minimie chin chin, beloxi crackers, Gala, egg roll, sugar, Apple drink. The quality of everything in naija has reduced.
I bought cheeseballs N100 for my baby ystdy n I almost wept on wat I saw inside.
There's nothing to enjoy in dis country again. The locally manufactured products in naija has lost value. This is so sad. We weren't like dis b4. I miss when I drank the original milo n bournvita

J0hnTrevolt:
E go still finish

Pecca:

you missed me there. increase in prices in the country cuts across board. if you must swim then you must do something to maintain ur purchasing power else you are going to sink!! those in food businesses are having a field day. and coca cola is not an essential good...pple can go a lifetime without it but things like garrison de there...
