My dear NL family, happy Sunday �

So their has been a question that has been troubling me for a while.

The question is why is food expensive in Nigeria

Okay in a simpler term, why is food expensive in southern Nigeria, while stuffs brought from Southern Nigeria into northern Nigeria aren't as so expensive as the price margin difference.

For example I bought a cartoon of fish for 3k in Brono state, and coming to Delta that has water ooo that's same fish is costing 15k.

Talk of beans I bought for 8k a bag and in PH it's 44k a bag where transport to PH is 8k ooo
Here is the videos

Some months back a bag of beans was selling for 33k in Brono and here it's was 55k in Asaba

Rice is was less than 30k a bag in Brono yet its was selling or 40k in DELTA

A friend of mine from Sokoto told my a few days back that Onions is now 40k a bag, for mew one and 110k for old one and the price in Calabar is something else.

What about in Maiduguri when Onions was 7k a bag and it was 70k in Lagos.

Why? Transportation isn't the issue because this price am giving are the major marker prices in the south and it cost max of 10k to transport per bag to any states

Risk of kidnappers and other hazards would have been fathomed into the logistics regarding the business.

For example this are the price someone sent to me, from Gombe state or the price of fish from Baga Road market in Maiduguri that is just 20k

So the big question why is food expensive?

Aside the fact that I like travelling, most of this people don't need to travel, they call and the goods is sent

Ok,then it worthy to be worried about then.
I guess they want us down south to die of hunger.

Is it that the middlemen bringing the goods over here in the south are ripping us or it's our marketers over here?

Blame our Southern traders. Their greed is the cause of our problem down here.

So Nigeria is not cheap to live in then?

Abi our own people doing us with multiple taxation no incentive, using police to harras etc

Not really, just that south is very expensive

Ask your president

What type of fish is this? I just came back from Yola and bought fish at the Jambutu trailer park. The lorries were offloading fish from Maiduguri. The locals say the name of the fish is Asa.

I ask because I got mine at ₦9,000 per carton.

Food should be the cheapest commodity in a country governed by sensible governments.

They will soon come to tell you how they are living in Banana Island where food, light, water and road are not problems.

This will cost 1k per one here in Biafra.

Southern people always increasing prices at any given opportunity.

They are just too greedy and want to make a massive gain at a go.

Nigeria is still the cheapest country in the world. Those fishes the OP find it's way to western country, they'd sell nothing less than $500 which is about #300,000

You left for Chad and nobody heard from you in a while.

Do you know the cost of transportation from noth to south.

Do you know the amount of settlement you'll settle for every 5 poles of distance. This is the major cause of price increase. Imagine settling almost 200 points from north to south


You'll settle
Police
Army
Produce
Customs
Navy
