Suffering and smiling people dem

See how they are praising there slave masters over something that's supposed to be in abundance..

No wonder your leaders treat you guys like rags

You went to queue under a hot sun with your mothers to buy food items like Somalia refugees hustling for food

The useless leaders that you enthroned with your votes and ballot snatching are in Abuja sharing billions in the name of constituency projects, while you are at the market square standing under hot sun to buy left over crumbs ..

Shame on you all poverty people

This loser still around. Frustrated and deluded obirodent.

Really?
How much were there things he bought before May 29, 2023?

Is that how your mind had been conditioned?
To be subjected to suffering , then lower the prices a bit to attract praise? Truly, you're a slave.

Someone came into power , made rash decisions that jacked price of goods up and then a lower version of him had to introduce this to cause what difference actually?

And you're her blaming IPOB of being happy of bad news.
You've been played and cos we can't be made to praise nonsense or be washed like you, yes, we won't be 'happy'.

Keep enjoying your poison laced bread.

Brainwashed and hooked slave.

That is why I was skeptical about their hunger protest because once they see food they go back to praising the same criminals that impoverished them.
They are truly the almajiri of the south.

Seriously...

How much were these things before Tinubu grabbed power ... And they're jumping at this?

nothing is good about this bro. The government has impoverished 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?

alaye this is discounted food price to battle the greedy hike in price by market women. Most of this women just hike price for no reasons

Re: My Experience At Ounje Eko Food Market In Bariga, Lagos by mozona(m): 1:37pm On Mar 19

How long will it last? What about does people that cannot afford it?

Though it is a good initiative but they would have done it online, create job opportunities for the period of time that it will last.

Besides those who have money can buy for those who don't have.

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

Igbega ipinle Eko, ajumose ni

Aha simplyleo I thought you have left Nairaland 🤣🤣🤣🤣
So you are back with one of your old accounts ? 🤣🤣🤣

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.

Thuggery is a general Nigeria issue. Tell me the state you come from and let's see whether there are no street thugs in the place. I used to think Lagos agbero were bad until I went to Anambra state. The ones there are so brutal and have no conscience. They could even make you pay for walking on the road. I saw two touts in Oba, Anambra state slapping a young girl that just alighted from a transport vehicle with her load from Lagos. I and my guys went close to face those idiots and ask why they are harassing the young girl. They wanted to fight us but as Dem see kala, they backed off and we quickly offered the girl a ride and dropped her at her destination before the goats regroup. She told us that they wanted to collect money for load from her. People were even looking as the girl was being harassed because they see it as a norm to pay those touts for carrying load. Abeg Lagos agbero guys are saints compared to the ones in the south East

why can't they tackle the issue of poverty bro? Why would someone not be able to afford ordinary food while their leaders are one of the highest paid in the world, they stole billions? Does that make sense to you?

Even developed countries have poor people. There's a thread for tackling government policies, this is not the one. By the way, I am a critic of the APC government. No be for every thread be complain.

USA , uk, france, Germany, Japan, Korea...etc none of them are without the topical issue of poverty. On a thread where government expenditure, embezzlement, misappropriation of funds and the rest is being discussed be sure I'll be there to drop my quota of criticism on the government. Like I said, this thread is not that one.

Governor Sanwo-Olu is trying. I hope they pegged the quantity of commodities beneficiaries can buy.

Trust Nigerians - one person can buy up everything and resell in a regular market.

You are on point.

Re: My Experience At Ounje Eko Food Market In Bariga, Lagos by Azazyel: 1:53pm On Mar 19

From what I can see on this forum, Igbo people haven't gotten the memo yet. I can see a lot of them bashing yorubas for the good initiative of Lagos state. For the fact that peter obi lost the election doesn't mean life shouldn't move on. Other tribes also voted him. Why has it now become an ethnic issue? Is it cos the president is a Yoruba man? You're only destroying obi's chances in the next election with all these banter. If not for the Yoruba people that joined hands, would Obi have ever won Lagos state? You guys aren't honest with yourselves. If Obi fails next time, I don't think there would be any president from South East until Jesus comes

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

Lol, uk had inflation, they increased our wages, decrease tax, now I learn 300pounds more, which helps. But in Nigeria, these hoodlums do rubbish and get praised, food stuffs wey dey food bank before lol 😂.

Wake up Nigeria youths. Read how lee of Singapore, Deng of China, transformed their countries.

This is not ethnic or religious fights. All need to be united, and demand people with morals, accountability in power.

You fit still abuse me , I be just common warri pikin wey don leave una almost 11 years now. My family no dey hungry. Just amazed.

Stop deceiving yourself. Thuggery is fundamental to Yoruba culture. There is no yoruba Oba who doesn't have or Control thugs. Oluomo, gani Adams, kunle poly, Sunday Igboho, portable are all thugs. You all worship thugs. Even the abokis we tag uneducated do not worship thugs

Mention one popular thug in igboland.
Just one!

you're too funny I swear. Stop lying to yourself. You hate Yoruba people and that's it. All your points aren't valid. In Nigeria, Thuggery goes hand in hand with politics. There are powerful thugs in the East, West North and southern parts of Nigeria. Stop being petty. I am not Yoruba but I cannot allow tribalism blind my eyes. If you truly want Nigeria to move forward, look inwards and make a change. Stop Ethnic bigotry

It is an initiative. It is empirically verifiable and people have been benefiting from it. A propaganda is misinformation, disinformation and outright lies. Initiative is not the same as propaganda. It's simple English.

Good experience and good initiative by LASG.
You're right.. Most govt world over do this as well.

In Turkey for example, govt allocates specific days per Area for cheap food markets - direct from Farm to buyers. We used to have Sunday market in my area of Istanbul then. Very cheap items

Good one mr Sanwo Olu

Also have BIM.
Discounted supermarket for the benefit of the people.

What is awesome about people queuing for food in a country not fighting war? I only see such things in countries fighting war, last I checked, there is no ongoing war in Lagos state, why do citizens have to queue to feed? All these are as a result of anti people policies...

You are making this comment from a place of ignorance.

It's not free food. It's discounted and you will see queue in many discount stores abroad too. People many other discount stores abroad to buy groceries aside queues at food banks.

Last time I checked, Hongkong and Canada are not at war.
