You are no longer an oil baron. This nairaland and clout chasing self

Have you ever heard about "group of companies"?. When you get money, you will lay your hands on multiple businesses. Besides, I did this yam business over 15 years ago. I dey buy and load in like 4 trailers. Which i take to Benin, Asaba, Warri and some times Onitsha.

I make good money from each trip. However, I stopped due to some reasons. But I plan to start again soon

At the bolded no suppose Dy this list

Na Rich Man Food

Otaiky:
Even garri that was called a poor man food before is no more a poor man food.

Food I don’t eat before e.g Fufu, Amala, Pounded Yam, this Tinubu Administration has made them my favorite.

Anything that people enjoy prices always goes up
Some places satchet water is 50 naira, very soon now people will be selling cup of water in their houses, haba garri that we love so much has gone up, Nigeria why

Only palm oil price did not change

kestolove95:

thesicilian:
Foodstuffs have never been cheap and will never be, but they're still all affordable.

Very true. A bag of rice that used to be around ₦10K in 2015 was very costly then, as only 2% of Nigerians could afford it then. Clap for yourself please.

Zonefree:

My favourite local government in Nigeria.

This man! You still never repent? We don wait for you tire. But you funny sha.

You have an agenda with this information 😕

OP, forget all those places.Yam is cheaper here Benue (Zaki-Biam) precisely than those.
The good thing is Benue yams are very sweet.

WhiteIverson:

I reside in minna and yam is expensive here. It still baffles me.

Help me tell them. A medium- sized tuber retails for 1k or more.

Which market in Nasarawa Toto sales cheap Yam?

RenaissanceGuy:

Did you not complain when it was 10k? Were you able to afford it then? Was there any one who was clapping for the government when fuel was 87 naira? Now you're missing 2015 because 2024 is biting you hard. In 2036 you'll still look back at 2024 and regret. It's always been like that. Nothing is cheap. All you can do is stay above the economy.

So that una go increase the price with a renewed sheet.

Mariangeles:
Food used to never be a problem in Nigeria, but now, things have changed so bad and so fast.
With the way cost of things are going up everyday in this country, are there still any cheap foods?
What are the foods that are cheap where you reside?

Picture credit: Google.

Nothing. Thanks to a government that only cares for themselves. They will soon TAX us for posting on nairaland. Let's bet it

10k yams for Minna go reach 200k for Benin. Yam for Minna can never be expensive compared to South

leave Benin now, you bald flat-headed demon, try comparing to port harcourt that is closer to your place and see it is costlier there, I know people who left port harcourt and come to Benin to stay citing cost of things.

Almaigaa:


Niger State is a major producer of yams in this Country. They have Yam markets in Ishau, Sarkin pawa, Kaffin Koro etc. These are international markets, where People come from Niger republic, Benin republic, Cameroon, Sudan etc to by Trailers of yams every week.

Those areas are habited by Gbagyi, Koro, Kadara etc. Their major Cash crop is Yam. You will see farmers who have have become millionaires from farming yams alone. Some of them have tens of Trailers amongst other assets.

I repeat, 10k yams in Minna can be sold for about 200k in Benin. I know both cities like the back of my hand. And I've done yam business in both cities

Interesting. Is it only yams they sell there? What about other cash crops like sesame, ginger, hibiscus flowers etc?

Flour!
Are you joking?

CodeTemplar:
Beans

Flour.

Love800:

emmy512:

Other cash crops are sold there. However, Yam section is larger in all the mentioned markets

See this Ologbo man. Cowards wey Ishekiri don drive them commot for their ancestral land (Ologbo). Ishekiri didn't stop there, they also install their kings as Enegie. Pim una no fit talk. Na to come online make mouth una sabi

Ijaw don also collect Gelegele and many other communities from una. Fulani herdsman don sack many Communities for Akoko Edo side But fear no allow una talk. If I hear pim from you, I will advise Ijaw and Ishekiri to take over the entire Benin

Fallacy. Unless you are less than 20 years old and can't remember how life was then, there's no way you'd be saying this. Nobody was complaining and everybody knew that it was cheap then. Can you compare it to now that people who now eat rice are seen as rich people?? There was absolute price stability for foodstuff for many years. Or have you forgotten that a bag of sachet water was sold for ₦50 for more than 15 years, but suddenly tripled in price within months that APC took over.

Love800:

My mom says it costs 500 or 250 and whichever you buy can satisfy 2 people.

500 own can last 3 days of frying or boiling for one person with a big mouth like me
