As fuel prices continue to rise nationwide, a mudu of corn has jumped to N800 from N600 barely three weeks ago.


A market survey by Peoples Gazette on Thursday showed that in about three weeks, a mudu of corn is sold at N800, representing over a 33.3 per cent increment from N600.


The skyrocketing price of corn, one of the most popular grains consumed by Nigerians and used for animal feed, signals hunger as citizens grapple with hardship occasioned by the removal of fuel subsidy.

Mr Tinubu, at his 69th birthday colloquium in 2021, counselled the federal government on recruiting 50 million youths into the military and recommended that they be fed with “agbado” (the Yoruba word for corn).

“We are under-policed and we are competing with armed robbers and bandits to recruit from the youths who are unemployed. Thirty-three per cent unemployed?” Mr Tinubu said. “Recruit 50 million youths into the army! What they will eat — cassava, agbado (corn), yam — we’ll grow here.”

Subsequently, “agbado” became a symbol of Mr Tinubu’s campaign, with many of his supporters being addressed as “agbado” footsoldiers. But in a few weeks into his government, corn gradually became unaffordable for many.

The president, in his inaugural speech, announced the immediate end to fuel subsidy, triggering pump prices from N145 to N545. On Tuesday, the pump price hit N617, a development that further raised food items and transportation costs.

To cushion the ripple effect of the increased pump price, Mr Tinubu announced a $10, equivalent of N53 daily, palliative for 12 million households. The government, however, reversed the idea, which was trailed by criticisms.

In June, the World Bank reported that about 64 million Nigerians were at risk of a food crisis by August.

Hunger never start to dry you like clothes wen dem hang for rope

His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) needs to work with the ministry of agriculture to step-up food production.

Large industrial estates should be set up and free mechanized farms should be allotted to any person of interest.

Nigeria has fertile lands that are just waiting to be tapped into.

Cassava, garri, and ewa will be trembling right now. If corn can be affected, who are they?

The same people making a mockery of corn, agbado will come here to complain about why the price of corn has gone up and can't afford it.

Nawa for these set of human beings.

The same people wishing that Tinubu's government to be all about suffering, are the same people complaining about the 'sufferness'.

Nawa for some set of human beings.

I asked you a simple question, did you not enjoy the PDP 16yrs administration?

Mention one laudable APC achievement aside Banditry, Nepotism, Jail Breaks, Ethnic bigotry and extreme poverty.

If it might interest you, The APC rule in Nigeria is one of the best in the world. With little, they have been able to achieve much. From Infrastructure, health, and security, down to unemployment, they have taken giant steps from where they took the baton.

Oga journalist. You must earn your daily bread. Pele.

I didn't go through the details of what you posted but I can categorically tell you that a mudu of corn is N1300 - N1400 everywhere in the North. If you can get it there at N800 per mudu, stock up as much as you can for you have a gold within your rich.
