Food stuffs are very cheap in the North,I went to the Market yester evening and bought Pork meat of #500 to prepare my Sunday stew,I was awesomely surprised the amount of meat given to me,I bought tomatoes #200 from a Fulani woman and pepper #100 on Friday.Infact I prepared a sumptuous pot of stew with #1100 for my Sunday rice.
North and cheap food stuff be like Barcelona and Real Madrid.

mariahAngel:
All food items?
If that is so, why does op keep buying and showing up mostly peppers?

Op @ManirBk, when next you go to the market, buy some plantains, then come and tell us how much you bought them.
I challenge you.
Abi na only tomatoes, peppers and onions una dey chop for Kebbi state?




Are you totally sure about that?

OfficialAPCNig:
Stop lying meat is not that cheap in the North, and again, yam is expensive here.

When we say North, we mean NW, not your NE. Taraba and Benue don't even like identifying as Northerners.

Food costs next to nothing in Benue and Taraba, yet there are hungry people there

Corridon:
Quite cheap.

jojothaiv:
Not everything but most thing particularly food items indigenous to the north are quite cheap.

There places in the north you can comfortably eat three square meals with less than a thousand naira a day.

Breakfast: Koko and Kosai (Pap and Beans Cake) N250/300
Lunch: A plate of local rice and two meat : 250/300
Dinner: Coucous and two meat: N250/300
Side attraction: Kunu or pure water: N50/100.


There are places in the north specifically Aliero where a bag of pure water is sold for N60 till date. During my service year, na around N3500-4000 we dey buy full goat slaughter

Corridon:
I don stay for north before so I understand you wella. Things are expensive down south. Chai

ManirBK:

(Rice, Beef stew and Salad)

Naim be say u never go north. Everything for this pic is even costlier than expected. A painter of tomato in Taraba isn't more than 300 naira.....yes Yam tuber of 700 down south isn't more than 180. That meat in d pic should be at most 200. In fact in Taraba and Benue, anything food costs about next to nothing

Yandrozy:
Sorry ooo, Which taraba state �
Is it the one I am serving at presently �

chinonyinye:
Painter of tomatoes, #200? In which Taraba. Currently a small bowl of tomatoes is #200 o here in Wukari, Taraba

Creamypie:
yes. I served in takum

mariahAngel:
People assume everything is cheap up north.
I strongly doubt that is the case.

Yandrozy:
I am with you bro....100 percent with you



I was once scammed by the word "Things are cheaper in the northern side of Nigeria" I'm in the north now and all I can tell you is only yam is cheaper here in Taraba state because we are in the season of yam but other things are costlier than gold.

LOVEGINO:
I will show u the plantain I bought for 1k

alatbaba1:
Never been to Taraba but Benue, things are now expensive especially Makurdi town. The fruit basket of the nation don enter mud

Ok12345:
I think I will also take pictures of food stuff whenever I go to the market and post them.

I got some tomatoes at 900 naira and plenty pepper at 500 naira...infact I had to freeze the remaining after cooking.

I stay at the mainland in lagos tho.

Starz825:
One thing I also noticed about our country is...
Geographically our economy is different....

The value of the Nigerian naira is different in different states.....

op spent 650 naira to buy those consumables....in the north

And somebody in Lagos will have to lash out 4k buying the same consumables in the same country....

Why. Because...the consumables are produced locally in the north where the op stays...they are much in quantity....the prices of goods will reduce drastically meaning in some part of the country...there is no inflation on consumable goods....

People in Lagos , portharcourt and other mega cities will be crying of inflation....
People up north and some southern states will be enjoying life eating the way they want... even though they won't be making as much money as the people in the city ..they will at least be feeding well
