For quite sometime now, prices of Commodities have been fluctuating upward and download slope. While some attributed the negative trend to poor economic policies,few see it as normal happenings in global economic environment.

As a result of this, I took sometime from my busy scheduled to visit two markets in Lagos precisely, Ikorodu and Ajah market to ascertain cost of Commodities on retail level. For instance, while price of derica of rice and beans are sold at 250 and 150, paint of yellow and white garri are sold for 400 and 350 respectively. Also, five roll satchet of Gino tomatoes goes for 230 naira and derica of melon is sold between 350 to 400 naira. The price of 5 litres of groundnut oil is sold for 2500 while red oil of the same quantity is sold for 2300.

These prices are just few I can remember and I want us to share our opinions here with the current state of things in our various vicinities. In my opinion, I think price of Commodities are better now when juxtapose with past 3 years. What's your take on this? Are things better now in terms of food Commodities?
