Food is cheap in the North. Below are the yam tubers I got for 2k yesterday.

One of those tubers go for #1,500 in Umuahia. Chai

In Lagos, 1 of these tubers can cost you not less than ₦2,500

correct. Its even costlier now. When I served there, each I'm this pic went for 50/60 naira. I'm fact all in the pic went for at most 600 naira... At takum. Where I served, not even in the interior. Food cost next to nothing in Taraba and benue

10 yams for 2k.. omo

ok

So why are food items so expensive in the south?

you are right, they were cheaper way back. A friend helped to get these for me from Wukari yesterday.

Hmmmmm. May be Buhari is deliberately causing hardship in the south.

...northern traders in the south also sell at high prices.

The north is the food basket(producers) of the nation.... The south is the consumers of the nation.

Logistics cost to move it down south, especially rising cost of diesel.
