➜The cost of preparing a pot of jollof rice for a family of five in Nigeria has surged to an average of N25,486 as of March 2025, up from N21,300 in September 2024 — a nearly 20% increase in just six months.
This spike was highlighted in a new report by SBM Intelligence titled “Staple Under Stress,” part of the group’s quarterly Jollof Index, which tracks the cost of making the popular West African dish as a proxy for monitoring food price trends nationwide.
The report attributes the steep rise to the skyrocketing prices of key ingredients such as rice, pepper, onions, beef, and especially turkey — now one of the most expensive components of the meal.
“Turkey now sells for between N8,000 and N10,500 per kilogram, a staggering increase from N1,500 to N1,700 per kilogram in 2016,” the report noted.

A pot? Kai! 😩😩😩😩

➜You read the part where OP said she enjoyed doing laundry and said it helps her clear her head, didn't you?

That was when she was alive, though. He never said he saw her come back after her death to do laundry and clean his home.

Also, why would a dead person need to come back to do laundry to clear her head? Of what? Maggots? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Cocolatti:
Yes

So, tell us exactly how a familiar spirit ended up coming to do laundry and clean your home, not the home of others or even your neighbors.

DemonSlayer:
➜It is implied.

It may seem that way, but he stopped short of doing that, leaving it up to you. Do you not see it?

Two possibilities here: OP either has some psychological issues which he refuses to address, or someone may, in fact, be visiting his home while he is away. I lean towards the first, though.

MindHacker9009:
➜God of the Original Torah did not promise to send his only begotten son to nailed on the cross to save you from your sins and your lies. You believe your sense of believing in lies is better than that of His and His prophets combined.

Original Torah, yet you continue to quote from the very same book that has YHWH declaring that His Son would be the one to rule for eternity over Israel? Nonsense and eegridient! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Treadway:
Lies. There is no human being on this earth that would stay Ina house where weird shit was happening. Talk another one abeg. The bed makes itself, and you're not in shock. Nonsense and ingredients

Goood point! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Cocolatti:
I also read your comment up there. What makes you think you are right and am wrong?

Have you ever before met a familiar spirit and seen it doing your laundry or cleaning your house?

DemonSlayer:
➜Kobo, she's a Ghost that does laundry and clean. How bad can that be? 🤷🏾‍♂️

Op never said in his write-up that he ever in fact saw a ghost doing his laundry or cleaning his house, though.

Cocolatti:
Familiar spirit at work.

In 2025, you still believe in such nonsense? Kai! If we ask you for proof now, una go begin to spin dem-say-dem-say tales all over the place! 🙄🙄🙄🙄

opanco:
➜She's a good spirit that cares for you. Whenever it happens do not be scared. Mention her name tell her ur aware of her presence and you miss her. Tell her to rest well. Pray for her soul to find some peace. Take some alcohol and pour libation to the ground that her soul should find peace. That she should stop freaking you off. That she should be a layer of protection for you and wish you well. That she should rest well. From time to time pour libation and pray this prayer. It would stop

A good spirit because OP said rather than staying dead, she supposedly comes back to continue cleaning his house like some sort of slave? Are you people OK?

Infolenka:
➜One of my friends also suggested the same. Can you recommend where I can get the deliverance done?

So, because your friend said it, it must be true? Are you people OK?

DemonSlayer:
➜Your girlfriend sounds like she was a helpful person while alive. May her soul rest in peace.
Someone is cleaning your house and doing your laundry free of charge and you're disturbed? I’d be thankful. I don’t believe in ghosts, but if they were real and some were friendly, I wouldn't worry about their activities—especially if they were benefiting me.

Thankful to a potential home invader? Are you for real?

Infolenka:
➜What haunts me most is that this was the bathroom my ex girlfriend used to wash cloths. She once told me washing clothes helped her relax and helped clear her mind.
But it doesn’t stop there. Sometimes, I come home from work to find my bed made and my clothes folded neatly. At times, the entire house is spotless, like someone had just cleaned it from top to bottom. It got so crazy I installed security cameras to figure out what was going on. Strangely enough, once the cameras were in place, the activity stopped. I left them running for a month. Nothing.
A week after I removed them, everything started up again. My girlfriend was always the type to clean my house and make sure everything is spotless. That's why I think she is the one. I know I sound crazy but that's the only possible explanation.
At night, I hear footsteps in the corridor and living room. Once, while I was on a Zoom call, someone knocked on my bedroom door. I immediately exited the call out of fear . There was no one else in the house.
I’ve considered moving out, but it’s not so simple. I just renewed my rent in January, and with how crazy housing prices have gotten in Lagos, finding another place close to work feels impossible right now.
I don’t know what’s happening. I don’t know if I’m losing it or if something or someone is really still here with me. I never believed in ghosts. But now? I’m not so sure.If you have any advice, I’d genuinely appreciate it. I just want some peace of mind one way or another.

Op, I am afraid the problem is not linked to your galfriend but to you; your mind merely uses the hallucinations to help you better cope with that which you probably aren't ready to deal with or accept. Please make an appointment immediately to see a professional mental health psychologist or psychiatrist. And work with the therapist to ensure you get past this trauma that seems to have taken control of you life this while.

➜How can a woman tattoo..."men are wicked" E don reach dis level?? .

Why didn't you ask her right there and there what drove her to do that?

How Kemi Olunloyo brought a curse on herself:

Nonsense and eegridient pronouncements! 🙄🙄🙄🙄

OP, I insist you go get your health examined by a professional mental health therapist before it is too late.

lawani:
➜Well, he probably did research, so he maybe right if the research was well done about marriages in Yoruba land but I know that in a place like the USA, Nigerians are known for their strong family values.
➜ I meant that I pointed out ethnic rivalry as a causative factor for the malaise in Nigeria. I believe it is, maybe you dont.
➜ Would you say France was not looming over Francophone west Africa until recently?. If you say Britain has not been looming over Nigeria you would be wrong. I am doing my best that I can offer for the country and overtime I have learnt many things. I used to think we over flog the issue of neo imperialism but I was wrong.
➜ We stand on the mistakes and exploits of our ancestors. There were great men and faulty men among them.

Stop telling that nonsense lie! Divorce trends in the USA for Nigerians are similar to divorce rates among other ethnicities also living in the USA. In some cases, it is suspected to be higher depending on what you look at. https://doi.org/10.20849/ajsss.v4i2.608

2. This is the Culture section, so leave Nigeria out of this while you focus entirely on the issues raised on the Yoruba culture, issues which you still continue to dance around.

3. Stop with the frustrating deviations already! Focus on the subject at hand, which is cultural issues identified by him that exist to this day in Yorubaland.

4. So, absolutely no intentions of seeing those mistakes rectified or corrected, right? Why didn't you simply say this from the start instead of dragging this on unnecessarily?

Bukola94:
➜ I'm not really a saint or gentle man, but people that knows me, say am simple, caring and peace loving, but you know our wives, no matter how cool headed you are, they will get on your nerves and take your love for granted. U keep complaining about the same thing over and over again

I suggest you engage a professional marriage counselor at this point to help you and your wife get on the same page as quickly as you can before things get far worse than they already seem to have in your marriage.

pedrilo:
➜I thank God for giving me a good wife. I won't tolerate this from any woman. Your wife is already satisfying herself outside maybe a colleague

A good wife who has no freedom to express herself, abi?

EndRape2:
➜Is your father married to a good woman? If yes ask him the benefits of marriage Your old age will tell you that life is more than children

How does a Nigerian man define a good woman? Is his father really qualified in this case?

lawani:
➜I mean I don't agree that marriages here are the worst in the world.
➜ Then the discussion is about Nigeria.
➜ He pointedly said Nigerian men have made a mess of the country
➜ and I pointed out that the mess is a colonial mess and the rivalry among ethnic groups is a contributory factor to the malaise.
➜ I agree with him that if a country is bad you blame the men, but I pointed out an important causative factor.

1. It is OK to hold an opinion, but denying the facts is something entirely different. Marriages in even Yoruba land— since this discussion is about Yorubaland— are in terrible straits. The abandonment rate reveals this to anyone paying attention.

2. No, since Yorubaland does not make up the whole of Nigeria.

3. Yes, he did say that, but made sure to telescope down to the Yoruba culture, not Bini, Efik, Hausa, Egbira, etc.— in particular.

4. The Colonial mess is an attempt by folks like you to shirk responsibility for the mess created by your ancestors, and current traditional and religious leaders. He was clear, you all need to stop doing that nonsense already!

5. You did no such thing!

fasterwell:
I know your type and that which you are looking for I am not ready to Grant. So continue to wallow in your ignorance

Shoo fly! Don't bother me!

sonmvayina:
✓ This is not what we are discussing...
Show me where God said he would send his son..
I am still waiting? Show me Jesus in the Tanakh and win a life time supply of the last thing you bought. I swear.

Shoo fly, don't bother me! 🙄🙄🙄🙄

sonmvayina:
✓ I have..but I am not sure you have at all.
If you have, you would have provided the place where God through a prophet promised to send his son as a human sacrifice or whatever you lot believe about Jesus.
God that even hates animal sacrifice not to talk to human sacrifice which is an abomination to him.
You people should continue falling for the "God-Spel"....

You have yet to this very day you still don't realize that the YHWH made it abundantly clear in the book that He is God only over Israel -- the very people He named Himself, chose a land for and even designed an Eternal Constitution for? Keep deceiving yourself then! When you are done, let us all know. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

lawani:
✓ The major reason he hates Yoruba men is they expect to be prostrated to during the wedding of their daughters. ✓ Marriages here even last longer than global average so the other issues about marital rape etc that he raised can be contested. I don't accept that it occurs more here.
✓ I agree that there is rivalry between Yoruba subgroups and that we can deal with the rivalry in Nigeria no matter how long it takes but it will still be a colonial state using English. It will still be a successor of the British empire. The Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo etc are big enough to stand on their own two feet in the United Nations using their own languages. However the rivalry among Yoruba subgroups is not unhealthy. The rivalry in Nigeria is totally unhealthy. There are often fatal clashes and etc. Security first.

1. And?

2. Nonsense! What in the world do you mean they can be contested?

3. Focus! This thread isn't about Nigeria but about issues the OP raised of his research and observations about the Yorubas culture and belief systems. Stop deviating.

QuinQ:
➜Mr Max saying the story didn't actually happen is stating the obvious. Whoever said it did?
So in your honest opinion the point of the whole "On earth he was rich and Lazarus was poor but when they died the roles reversed" was to say that no one can come back from dead

To your question, my answer would be yes, since, again, Jesus Christ of Israel who told said story is also reported to have made clear that all of the stories were told in such a way as to keep in persistent darkness those who are ignorant(blind) to the Truth of God of Israel. In addition, many of the details you seem consumed by from that one tale are details that contradict the very Law and Truth of YHWH in the land of Israel(Judah at that time). Jesus Christ of Israel — again, I stress the of Israel part— did not come with teachings to contravene that set forth by YHWH in the land but to expose additional Truths of YHWH.

sonmvayina:
✓ Quit stalling..
Give me the passages...and the prophet.
I am waiting.

If your plan is not to wait forever I suggest you instead take to reading the books for yourself same as I tell all the other religious nutjobs so you learn what is in fact written in it.

QuinQ:
✓ Seems this is Maxindhouse alternate moniker.
I'll assume it is.
Mr Max you here's the question you're afraid to answer - answered by AI

Again, read my input clearly so you understand how you are definitely terribly mistaken in your assertion above.

Kobojunkie:
The story of Lazarus and the rich man is an allegory used by Jesus Christ of Israel to make clear the message that no man would be sent back from the dead to warn the living. The mention of Abraham and all the other details were merely to help drive home the main message which is found at the end of the story. That is simply what that tale is about.

sonmvayina:
✓ Please can you give us the prophet who brought this great news from God?? I am waiting.
Amos 3:7 says God does nothing without revealing it to his servants the prophet. So which prophet did he reveal Jesus to?
Tell me and win a life time supply of the last thing you bought....if not, you will remain a pauper for life...

You are joking, right? You don't know what was promised but you have strong arguments against it?

Amotolongbo:
➜ Paul was an European Jew, not Israeli jew

I am not certain what you mean when you say that Paul was a European Jew.

But just felt to add this additional information at this point: All Jews are Israelites. However, not all Israelites are Jews.

lawani:
✓ I have responded to him. I told him it is wrong to blame all white people for what the British or the French did with their colonial empires. I agreed with him. People are divided into ethnicities and nations and not into colors. I also said if he does not like the mega show of respect by the groom on wedding days during Yoruba weddings he should talk to his Yoruba fiancee if his fiancee is Yoruba. What more to add?. There is nothing harmful in Yoruba culture even if the respect is excessive. We can't change for him.
✓ I also talked about how inter ethnic rivalry is a root cause of Nigeria's go slow

Nonsense! There is everything harmful about the culture as is highlighted by the facts of life and living in yorubaland even today. Stop making generalized statements out of ignorance/blindness abeg!

2. Inner ethnic rivalry that exists even between those who claim to be Yorubas, you conveniently ignore,abi? Nonsense! Stop trying to shift blame, abeg .

QuinQ:
✓ What was it illustrating? What did Father Abraham say to the rich man? (And BTW no where did it say he was a particularly bad man - just rich)

The story of Lazarus and the rich man is an allegory used by Jesus Christ of Israel to make clear the message that no man would be sent back from the dead to warn the living. The mention of Abraham and all the other details were merely to help drive home the main message which is found at the end of the story. That is simply what that tale is about.

RedboneSmith:
✓ “Oh, look at me, Massa. I is not like them negroes. I agrees with you. Dem negroes is stupid.”

I nailed it, didn't I? 🤔

You lot will resort to any tactic to keep yourselves from directly attacking the subject put forth by the OP on the thread! 🙄🙄🙄
