I went to the popular Shinga Market in Kano metropoli, close to Sabon Gari market to buy food Stuffs today. See what I bought

1) 50kg bag of BUA rice - N49, 500

2) A carton of BUA Pasta (spaghetti) - N9, 800

3) Two bags of semovita - N21, 000 (N10, 500 per bag,)

4) Four tubers of yam - N3,000

Total N83, 300

Compare to your location, is it cheap or too expensive?

It's almost the same everywhere in this country, just that APC supporters are buying it cheap with their subsidised purchasing card, na just us were no vote APC dey see shege banza

The yam is N1,300 each in my area, that means the 4 will be N5,200..
Last time I was trying to buy one to cook for my family, I was holding N1,000 all of them said is N1,300 for that size I had to change my mind and bought bread.

Foolishness is when you elect a criminal old drug lord as president and resort to praying for him to succeed. There are many foolish people in Nigeria and that's why the country will hardly go forward

Almost thesame compare to ibadan and Lag

Things are really expensive now

Too much money on one item. You should have bought half bags and use the extra to get a few other things. Anyways your preference.

Rice 49k? Is this BUA rice available in Lagos?

** even if it's available their own go cost. Lagos and their wahala**.

Food inflation despite 23 trillion naira that the behaviour government printed

Something I bought for 7200 three weeks ago is now 9600. Make God see us through cos the inflation isn't just easing.

That's the situation now. This is a wholesale market that is why the price is like this. Retailers in Sabon Gari market sell it as high as 10,200 per carton

A bag of rice take me and my family for 4-5 months. That's why I always go for a bag. The bag of rice I bought in October 2023 was the one we use for Christmas and New Year. It just finished today. This bag will take us till end of April or May

Woah, bag of rice is now 49k.. it's very cheap.

Back then in 2013, a bag of rice was selling for as costly as 100k.

Elections are over. Tinubu is our president. Let's criticise objectively.

That 23Tr is one of the top reasons for inflation of food. Too much money chasing few scarce goods.
Money answereth to things that are available and does not poses the power to maintain production cycle.

Zonefree:
Buy more Garri.

or something like oats/corn/beans to balance the others.

Garri is very expensive now. A baff of garri I bought @ 5k a week before New year was bought @ 8200 yesterday here in Ogun. Rice @ 56k and one also have to be vigilant because they do mix local with foreign rice here.

Zonefree:
Buy more Garri.

Let us continue to celebrate mediocrity and bad governance. You will soon start buying that rice for N100K.

The country's policies continues to choke the common man until he's forced to eat shit like the chichidodo bird.

As i japa go US i can only wail as a spectator.

CandidAdmin:
Please Nigerians, abeg I want to know when we will stop keeping quiet because Garri is now 800 naira per congo in my area, rice is 2k and beans is 1600. Even semolina 1kg is 1k. Spag is 7h and so on. Abeg I just want to know because e be lyk say dis silence dey kill person pass the inflation.

Anyways, you fi help someone with something?

The farmers producing these foods also need to make money.
We need to increase production to reduce the prices and we also need to produce other items to meet our needs and create jobs for our youths

It is well with us all.

Take me back to this time last year...mk we compare the things 80k would have bought

Enjoy tinubulation abeg.

Make ona dey try plant home garden
tinubulation go worst feb-march as farmers for North dey battle bandit.

Can't wait to fold my Nigeria passport and keep in a vault.

Uganda and Gambia on my mia mia.

It's about to get uglier like omobabas face.

I bought a bag of rice for 60k two days ago. I wonder why BUA isn't distributing their rice across the country, I was impressed with the quality the first and unfortunately the last time we bought it (2015).

Undoubtedly, cost of living is cheaper in the North than in the east, south and even West of Nigeria.
