Stop disgracing your unlearned self.
“Ebi n pawa” are words from other regions, right? Or it is the language of people of other regions? Or people from other regions first started screaming those words? If the Governor of Lagos has started that, what has happened to other governors within the same region? One wonders why youths like you are so insanely tribalistic? Or does hunger recognise state, region, tribe, age or religion?

Rather than get your slave masters to do the right thing, there you are eulogizing them, while they daily impoverish you.

I was at the Ounje Eko sales on Sunday March 17th, 2024 at Alubarika Primary school, Bariga, Lagos

The program started quite late for whatever reason. People were set and on queue since 10mins before 11, but the first person was attended to by 12:15pm
Wrong, they were only called by that time and were attended to by 1pm, the reason for further delay was network issues (with the payment collection machines?) according to what we heard

There were 3 queues, 2 for females, 1 for males. The female queues were rowdy as they often skipped queues. The male queue would've been quite rowdy if it weren't for volunteer conductors among the people on the queue who don't want people skipping the line, and the respect for the security personnel present, and the perceived frustration exuding from some people on the queue.

At the payment section, you either pay with Cowry or ATM Card (cash was later accepted but I don't know the process)
After paying, I was given a voucher for each items I declared that I wanted to buy

By 2:55pm, I was done being attended to by going to the stand for each item I wanted and was given a pack.

I bought:
5kg rice - 5370 ?
1 crate of eggs - 2700
1kg Onions -450

PS:
. The last egg I bought at a market was 3,800 for a crate, so I'll say the price if eggs at Ounje Eko was worth my effort.

. The Gaari was well blended and it's not multi purpose. It's better for eba only.

. Some women said the beans wasn't up to their cost expectation. But I suspect they were there to buy and resell.

. I couldn't buy the tomatoes, pepper and chilli because I don't have a fridge. I didn't consider it, so I can't say if it's worth buying.

Overall, I'll say the initiative was a good one. It would've been helpful if the whole payment and booking could be done online, and delivered at one's doorstep, but I understand that people who aren't tech savvy, and are within the targeted tax bracket will likely be left out.

I can't grade the rice quality for now till I prepare it, but I'm sure it's Nigerian rice

Thank you to the:
Commissioner for Agriculture, Ms. Olusanya
Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Jide Sanwo-Olu

Who are you telling shame?
The same people that worship a man who converted millions of Yoruba sons to thugs instead of empowering them with skills or scholarships? They have no shame. Even dead body get shame pass them.

Yeye Policy from APC!😕

Is It Communalism we are Practicing, in this 21st century

Everything about this Govt is Sharing of Foodstuffs, Cheap Agricultural products and PALLIATIVES.

FreeStuffsNG:
Awesome! Thank you OP for sharing.

You don't have to be angry over things done in Lagos for Lagos benefit.

This initiative is a good one

RenaissanceGuy:
It's nice, if racketeering doesn't mar the good intention. Russia, for example, did a similar thing more than 12 years ago when there was a global rise in food price — buy from the farmers and sell to consumers at discounted prices.

Villa12:
nothing is good about this bro. The government has improvished the people they're now throwing crumbs at them. Trust me there are more people that cannot even afford this discounted food. What will become of them please?

Melagros:
COMRADES, believe me, not all Lagosians will benefit from this APC's propaganda

God2man2again:
With this kind of initiative, as Nigerians, we can achieve whatever we want to achieve as a nation.

All we need is constructive thinking.

Good thinking, good product.

God bless Lagos.

God continue to bless ILE YORUBA.

Other regions should emulate "Ounje Eko" rather than shouting "Ebi n pawa" on social media.

No program anywhere in the world benefits everyone. If they sell pure water @ 2 for 5 naira today, you'd still find people who would beg for 5 naira for water. Definitely, not all lagosians have money to buy foodstuff so how can they all benefit?

CannibalTorment:
The Enugu woman that left her 3 children and committed suicide by running into fast moving trailers will still be alive if she is suffering and smiling, the Anambra woman who sold her 5 children for pantry #50,000, even goat is not sold for meagre 10k wouldn't have if she has leaders that treated her like rags, the people killing their fathers and sons in imo wouldn't have because of hunger if they are treated like Somali refugees, people are killing, cannibalizing and committing suicide because of hunger in your land and you still have mouth to talk.

gabbytabby:
Ungrateful, traitors and enemies of Nigeria. God pass una.

Bluearrow:

It is a stupid thinking!
Let them make things affordable, that way everyone can afford it. Not making things extremely expensive & throwing crumbs to a few. Considering lagos population, how many people will benefit from this? Nigeria is not fighting war, there is no need for her citizens to start queuing for food if the leaders are making right decisions

Suffering and smiling...

Don't let me even go as far back as 2015...

How much was a crate of egg even as at 2022?

How much was a bag of rice as at then?

Just to mention but a few...

Na suffering and smiling dem dey twe nurture this country...

The country is dead, ruined...

Stupid government...
