Government Agric Efforts Crash Prices of Food Items in Lagos

ON DECEMBER 17, 20185

Various government efforts at revamping agriculture may have started yielding results as prices of tomatoes and pepper have reduced in major markets in Lagos. God’s market… A survey by NAN on Monday at Mile 12, Oyingbo and Iddo markets showed that a 40kg basket of tomatoes goes for N5,000, from its previous price of N10, 000 in November and N29, 000 in July.

A 50 kg basket of ‘tatashe’ (pepper) decreased from N14, 000 to N8, 000, while a basket of chilli pepper (rodo) also dropped from N13, 000 to N8, 000.

Mr Femi Odusanya, spokesperson of Mile 12 Market Perishable Foods Traders Association, said that government’s efforts in agriculture might have started yielding positive results on the prices of food.

“About two to three years ago, fertilizer, a major farming input, was sold at about N10,000 to N12, 000, but now fertilizer goes for about N6500 in the market.

“Some state governments in the North are giving tractors to farmers free of charge to plough their land and also access to improved seedlings. “Definitely, all these have impacted, one way or the other, in reducing cost of production for most farmers and the result is now evident for all to benefit from,” he said. Odusanya said that prices of the commodities might even reduce further before Christmas, due to the increasing supply from about 80 trucks to 120 trucks daily to the market. Our cost of transaction, fees, attractive — SEC boss He urged government to sustain efforts and also invest more in mechanized farming to boost food production and sufficiency in the country.

However, price of a jute bag of onions increased from N28,000 to N35,000 while one kilogramme of frozen chicken and turkey goes for N1,000 and N1,100, respectively. Live chicken is sold for between N3,500 and N6, 000, depending on their sizes. Also, a 50kg bag of rice ranges between N16, 500 and N22, 000, depending on the brand, a 25 litres of palm oil goes for N11, 500, while a measurement of “garri’’ cost N380. Some of the traders also attributed the drop in the prices of food to the massive supply of food items occasioned by harvest season. (NAN)

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said on Sunday that the sterling performance of Peter Obi, its vice presidential candidate, in Friday’s vice presidential debate held in Abuja had greatly improved the rating of the party in Nigeria and in the international community.

Speaking with Daily Independent, Kola Ologbondiyan, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, also said the commendations given to Obi by majority of those who watched the debate was a pointer to what would play out in the 2019 presidential election which, he said, would signal the end of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

According to him, the euphoria that greeted Obi’s performance in the debate is similar to what happened in Port Harcourt in October when Atiku Abubakar emerged the presidential flag bearer of the PDP.

“Yes, we believe Peter Obi’s brilliant performance at the debate has positively affected the fortunes of PDP. His victory at that debate has sounded a death knell to the APC and its presidential candidate, President Muhammadu Buhari.

“All over the country, just like the day Atiku emerged as the candidate of the party at the national convention in Port Harcourt, there is so much ecstasy and there is so much acceptance by Nigerians that in Peter Obi, they have found a true vice president that Nigeria needs at this critical time in the life of our nation,” he said.

Also sharing Ologbondiyan’s views, Senator Ighoyota Amori, Political Adviser to the National Chairman of the PDP, said worldwide, many people were now seeing PDP in a different light and they believe it had something beneficial for Nigerians after witnessing Obi’s performance.

“After the vice presidential debate, the profile of the PDP has risen so high because of the brilliant performance of the vice presidential candidate of the PDP.

“Not only in Nigeria but all over the world, a lot of people are praising the PDP as a party that knows its onions and has something good to deliver to Nigerians,” Amori said.

Amori also condemned President Muhammadu Buhari’s refusal to assent to the Electoral Amendment Bill, saying it was a ploy by the ruling party to rig the 2019 elections.

“We believe that the failure of the president to sign the Electoral Bill into law is preparatory to rigging.

“They are planning to produce another Kano wonder where over three million people voted, no cancellation, no void votes, and no rejected votes,” he said.

AryEmber:
You're making a big deal out something irrelevant. Like I said, it does not elevate your position neither does it harm you. When a muslim attack you for wishing him/her merry christmas, then I believe you can shout to the world about it. We wish you, we no wish you oh, it doesn't stop your celebration.

my point is simple.. Is abnormal to thinkwishing a merry xmas. U are only repeating d same post

AryEmber:
You've got deep issues, so because I don't greet you for christmas, it means I wish for bad things to happen to you? Keep lamenting on something that does nothing to you. Muslims aren't the only one who don't greet during christmas, Jehovah Witnesses do not either, I guess they wish you harm too abi?

this is not about jehovah witness followers too do not wish a merry xmas. This is a common sense. Do u think i dig johovah witness followers idealogy. If jehovah followers do not wish me merry xmas,does dat mean is sensible? Let remove remove religion here first.under normal circumstance,it is senseless wen u cant wish your fellow human being good wen he or she is on merriment. Too much religion attachment to human activities do not allow us to know wht is right or wrong.
To let u know,christmas is not a religion. The significance of christmas is to show and share love to others,regardless of ur religion. Is a man made arranged program(merriment) not dat Jesus christ enforce it on us. Is it a sin to merry? It is islam dat attach too much religion to christmas and dat is why they see it as a sin to say merry christmas. Is there any difference btw happy independence day and merry christmas? D only diff me i know is d date and d level at which we celebrate it. It is not necessary u celebrate xmas because it is not by force, but for someone or group of who see/sees it as a sin 4 celebrating xmas is suffering from insanity. Though ur religion mite encourage hatered to other religion.my own religion preaches love and kindness. Am free to wish u happy sallah 100 times a day nd i know my God will be pleased about it.
Preach love because God is love. Stop preaching religion. Religion is an avenue that creates differences among us.

stay away from protest. Dead mam needs no freedom but d living.

AryEmber:
And what truth is in what you wrote? Businesses has hardly anything to do with religion.

if you believe dat wishing christians a merry christmas is a sin, pls why do u hv to hv any dealings wit dem at all. People u cant wish them good,it means u hate them and u see dem as ur enemy. If u cant wish me good.why will u hv to sell items to me during christmas. I know u will remove business frm religion islam does not take collecting money from their enemy as a sin. Money matter here. Money over rides dealing with those u cant wish a merry christmas.
For ur info,xmas is a season of merriment not d season of kiilling innocent people.

AryEmber:
Nice try Op but your last comment is actually silly. Trade, businesses, services has hardly anything to do with religion esp in this part of the world. People sell and buys things from each other even if they don't like one another.

the truth will be silly to u

wis3:
this doesn't write off the fact that Christians are intolerant. There are more churches in Kaduna than there are in the entire south east region. How many mosques can you even find in the south?

You just deviate frm d topic. My question is why muslims beliv wishing christians a merry christmas is against their belief. This sound so ridiculous.
If muslims think dis is a sin to them.why muslims open shop and sells items to christians on xmas time. To sell and collect money from christians celebrating xmas is not against your god but to wish a merry xmas is a sin to u. Cant u reason? This is insanity.

wis3:
different strokes for different people. Some people have a high level of intolerance take easterners for instance. They hardly have any muslims around because they think it's an abormination. That's why there's hardly any mosque in the east.

that is a wrong word to use. It is not abormination. Only dat islam was not spread to d area. Will u say it is an abormination for xtians to live in sokoto

I was so shocked this morning when i came accross what i can call most develishpost on Nairaland.
Some muslims believe it is against their god by wishing christians a Merry Christmas. This surprise me to d extent i now begin to fear being in this country with this people. Why on earth will a normal human being wll have such hatred towards his fellow man.

Ipobs are only causing more harm to d ibos chance of becoming president in d future time.
Ipobs have forgotten no be them go vote saraki in kwara.

Will meeting trump wll make saraki not to loose nxt election in kwara?

goshee:
why do you mention saraki and you skip Tinubu what has saraki done that tinubu hasn't done times 2? hypocrisy is the hallmark of APC and their supporters.

My friend,get dis straight. I talk of wht directly concern me because kwara is my state. Saraki is my problem not tinubu. Follow all my post and u will know i dont poke nose on what is not directly concern me. Is tinubu d one owing me and my people salaries?
I dont know why people bring in tinubu wen i let u know am kwara.

gassbee:
am just trying to let u know is not every married man dat sleeps around no matter d stage they attained, they are r some keeping it real,

am not saying all married men are doing dat. Wht am arguing about is hving a beautifu wfe or being discipline does not mean a man cant Bleep up.

gassbee:
alibaba is a top celebrity, news don't hide, av u heard of any scandal about him

sit down there and be trusting a human being like u. Is he God? Men of god sef dey break kongo secretly until he is expose. Some are still saint until their news come out. Am not saying alibaba is sleeping wit some1 else but as u dey talk say nah discipline man. Does discipline makes some1 not to do coded runs? There are other celebrities out there too without a single scandal. Does dat mean all of dem are saint?

goshee:
we hate Okoroawusa because of his bad governance. he's like a typical Awusa man who'd enrich himself and his immediate family while impoverishing others to always control them. such doesn't succeed down here in the south east. every body here na oga on his own, no emperor, no rankadede, no Oloye, no alhaji and no jagaban of any kind.

So u ibos can hate a man who does this to his people. I cant believe dis. So why do u ibos supporting saraki against d people of kwara state despite knowing saraki did worst things in kwara dan okorocha. U want ur own suffering to end and u want suffering in kwara to continue? This is selfishness u know dat.

gassbee:

u are contradicting urself. Why wll u say wht is klint looking for in another woman despite he has a beautiful wife. That is why i told u to hv ur own wife b4 u can comment. Wife is different frm girlfriend. It is until wen u get to dat position b4 u can know d reason a man behave like dat.
And hw are u so sure alibaba is a saint do u live wit him?

chiboy1116:

hmm hope u know d time i hv bn following him. Youtube is ur friend search 4 best of c.ronaldo nd see 4 urself. If u still say he is not a natural dribbler.it means u hv ur own meaning of dribbling.

chiboy1116:
he was Once a good dribbler , now he averages 1 dribble per game atimes , which is poor .

age not on his side again.

ObaKlaz:
Great guy. But wait... Did he mention dribbling?! He can't even dribble a tree! He does a billion stepovers just to beat one opponet and still gets dispossesed in the end.

go watch his vidio clips. U wll know if he can dribble or not.

gassbee:

gassbee:

Ray97:
Lol. South east dosent play politics with hatred ahbi. But secondus just used death of over 3mill people to do otherwise. Or the attack u people heap on david umahi for being close to buhari. Lets i forget chis ngige too. His pure igbo born and bred but no hatred for buhari has made u guys insult him. Wat say u..

though i dont know much about SE politics. So why do u people hate okorocha now

gassbee:
