The prices of perishable items have recorded a fall in some major towns in Yobe, Borno and Adamawa states, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.
NAN check at Perishable Items Market, Damaturu in Yobe, revealed that the prices have dropped by about 50 per cent.
A big basket of tomatoes sold at N120,000 between April and May now cost N40,000, while a small basket previously sold at N75,000 is now going for N18,000.
A bag of pepper sold at N170,000 same period now cost N82,000, while a bag of pepper goes for N70,000 as against N75,000 sold in July.
Similarly, a bag of Okro which was sold at N50,000 within the period under review, now goes for N25,000.
However, prices of onions have increased as a bag of the item which cost between N28,000 and N30,000 three to four months ago, now rose to N50,000.
The market’s Chairman, Alhaji Muazu Abbas, attributed the drop to arrival of new items in the market.
“Prices of perishable items usually drop whenever harvests are made and new goods arrive in the market, but the prices rise when there is shortage of goods,” he said.
However, the price of yam has skyrocketed at Bayan Tasha Market in the metropolis.
NAN check revealed that two small tubers of yam sold at N1,500 in 2023, now cost N4,000, while three big tubers that went for N3,500 within the period, now go for N15,000.
When contacted, the Yam Sellers Leader in the market, Alhaji Habibu Mohammed, blamed the sharp rise on shortage of supply of the items to the market.
He also blamed the hike on an increase in the cost of transporting the items to the market from Taraba, Benue, Nasarawa and Plateau states
On his part, Alhaji Usman Ngari, Chairman, All Farmers Association of Nigeria (AFAN), Yobe Chapter, expressed concern over the high cost of establishing food crop storage facilities.
“Storage facilities preserve crops and increase profit, especially in cultivation of perishable items.
“Unfortunately, establishing such factories is capital intensive and most of us do not have that kind of money,” he said.
Ngari called on the government at all levels to support farmers with capital to acquire storage facilities to boost their productivity and income levels.
In Borno, the prices of perishable goods are the same as Yobe, but the traders said they are still looking forward to more fall in prices in a few months when farmers will start harvesting tomatoes and other perishables in the state.
“The supplies we are getting now are from Kaduna and Kano,” Isa Mohammed, a dealer in Maiduguri vegetable market said.
Mustapha Usman, a grain dealer said the prices of grains produced in Borno like local rice, beans, maize, and millet have continued to remain high and could only come down when harvest commenced in October.
Also in Adamawa, while there was a fall in prices of perishables due to harvest, that of grains have continued to remain high.
Alhaji Aliyu Mohammed, the Chairman of Adamawa Chapter of the Nigeria Small Scale Industrialists, noted that a bag of 100kg of maize that used to sell for N60,000 last year by this time is now N90,000.
“That of white bean that sold for N75,000 is now N160,000.”
“We just have to wait and what will happen when the harvest commences in a few weeks.” (NAN)

My wedding is coming up in some months and I need your advice. My fiancé and her family are insisting on court wedding which I don’t want to object to. I should have moved on but she pregnant. What can I do?
Why are you afraid of court wedding, you get ulterior motive
Afodot0022: Top of the day to my nairalanders family, God bless you all in all ramifications. I know some will be familiar with my stories here, if you are not, you can visit my profile to get familiar.
My girlfriend have been living with me for a month now and reason I took her in was that she was kicked out from her friend she shared an apartment with and got no choice than to accept her briefly pending when she gets her own accomodation.
Initially I thought it will be beneficial she staying as I expect her to support but she is sole dependent on me even knowing that she works and earn well.
Now the narrative is changing as this my girlfriend is getting too relaxed, comfortable and looks like she doesn't want to leave again and want us to live together. At first I wanted this cos I expected she will also contribute in the house but I noticed she has been keeping her money to herself despite her working and depending on me solely and making me take husband responsibility that I have not signed for.
She is kinda lazy even despite her living with me, I still do my chores, clean and attimes cook. She only do these once in a while. There was a time she wanted to do her laundry, our dirty cloths was in the basket, she picked only her own dirty cloths and left mine to wash her own alone, I was surprised she acted that way despite the help I rendered for her.
I was divorced 2years ago and don't even want to think about another marriage any time soon cos of the issues, stress and responsibility involved in marriage, now it seems this girl is driving me to that route which am not even ready or prepared for.
The last time I told her to get her apartment before this month end, she didn't take it well with me, she started crying and manipulating me emotionally. To myself, even if you want us to live together as couple atleast I should know your parents and do something on your head to prove that we are both married but truth be told, am not ready for such for now, am not ready for marital commitment.
Pls house, advice me on how to navigate through this situation, how can I get her to leave my apartment nice, as it is now, I don't even care if her leaving will be the end of the relationship, cause I remember she mentioned that if she leaves, she won't come to my house again never I just want to have my place to myself so I can plan and focus with the little am managing instead of her adding to my responsibility which am not st for.
Pls if you have once been in this situation, kindly drop some tips and advice that will help me out on this cos it's giving me sleepiness night and I don't want to treat her harshly or rudely. I will appreciate all you inputs
She's blackmailing and using your head at the same time. No dey SIMP for her. Just be a man and tell her that enough is enough. Don't give in to her crocodile tears

SmartPolician: How do RMD and Shaffy Bello always get these big roles? Another person who always features in big-budget films is Sola Sobowale. Unfortunately, she wasn't cast in this film.
How do they do it? There must be something they are getting right. Don't quote me to write nonsense if you don't know the answer to my question.
One good job deserves another. Use Chelsea as a case study.....If you are in a squad like Chelsea of 42 players, if you have a good game this weekend, you are likely to make the starting 11 next weekend

Mariangeles: Hello my foodie people. I've come again with another delicious food topic.
Okay. I was munching on some delicious stewed beef the other day, and I was like mmm! How delicious!, then I told person that was with me that beef stew is tastier than chicken stew, and that chicken stew is quite overrated, she disagreed and said one is bound to quickly get tired of beef stew, that it's chicken stew all the way. I did not agree with her.
So, I want you people to help me settle this about which is the most preferred.
Which of these Nigerian stews would you prefer with your white rice? Fish stew, beef stew, or chicken stew?
Kindly hit like on the one you would first go for.
Glimpsetv: This beautiful woman explained the difficulties of finding a man who meets her preferences simply because of her beard. According to her, a lot of feminine men message her, but she isn't attracted to such men. She expressed her desire to be married and not to be a single mother.

aybabz101: I know a lot of you guys will be swift to believe him because it has to do with pastors and the church.
Note that he is a fraudster and a thief...one of the devils parading themselves as true believers....
I believe banks are professional organizations saddled with ethical responsibility to keep the relationship with their customers confidential.... This makes me doubt his assertion that "he was shown loan documents of churches with values cumulating to billions of naira"....
They can tell him that some churches do collect loans in order to persuade him, but him being presented sensitive loans documents is highly doubtful.....
These people should just stop embarrassing churches up and down....if you are not interested in loan or dont have the capacity to, do not collect...why coming online to say one church or the other collects a particular amount of money?
Is it a sin to collect loan?...
my question is...what is his motive for this?
Na them, sheepel . They are spiritually blind. Church no get business but dey collect 3 billion naira loan
ibinaboonline: I couldn't believe how hard it would be deciding on the most appropriate section for this post.
The Pet section? f***k, no. Food? For some people, maybe. Agriculture? Who am I kidding? So, I settled for the crime section because this snake is a criminal and got dealt like one.
I've read many snake posts on nairaland and I never bothered with the section.
