Hello nairalanders, I'm from Eastern Nigeria (Anambra state) pricisely. Was born and brought up in the north, Niger State!

I don't really know why things are too expensive in the southern part of Nigerian than the north.

I don't even like coming home sometimes (east) due to the unnecessary high cost of living in the southern region.

Everybody is just so greedy and selfish. Especially how I read here on nairaland.

If not for terrorism and banditry, here is one of the major part of the country where the poor can actually live their lives and train their children.

Below are some of the prices of commodities in my local community.

1. this plate of rice is #500

2. This yam was bought from one of my mom's customers for #4,000

3. This fufu and egusi soup is #600

4. The Yam in the fourth picture was bought for #12,000

I have a lot of images to upload and their prices but nairaland is telling me that I have exceeded limit of image upload. Don't know how this site works properly
Please can u help supply the yam?

The high cost of living in the south, especially Lagos is courtesy the high levied taxes by Tinubu and his urchins. A state sabotaged to make believe Lagos is a survival of the fittest!

I swear, easterners are not greedy, please come to the west to feel the heat... You will be shock if you see the level of greediness in human...
Re: My Mom's Local Food Canteen In The North by wman(m): 8:34pm On May 15, 2024
You must understand that the cost of transportation of food from the North and Middle Belt to the South. Plus those thugs, Union dues, then police etc. Not to talk of insecurity too.

Those things add up.
Re: My Mom's Local Food Canteen In The North by SoNature(m): 8:35pm On May 15, 2024
There's nothing wrong with the prices of things in the South. Southern Nigeria is extremely enterprising and understands the value for goods and services (industry). Nobody deserves to be poor. Everyone deserves to be well paid for whatever they produce or sell.

I hope they have a rethink. I have seen alot of unimaginable things Igbos do to themselves and you see them justify these horrible actions, Ladipo market is an example so it doesn't surprise me when they do it to outsiders

Re: My Mom's Local Food Canteen In The North by ufotunang: 8:42pm On May 15, 2024
In the north they go into large scale commercialized farming and mechanized farming... that is why there is abundant food and foodstuffs cheap

I don't know if you're intentionally d@ft that you think that everybody from your region is "selfish and greedy".

Maybe you should try bringing some of these cheap food items from Niger state down to the SE then you will know if your people are actually "selfish and greedy" as you're meant to believe or you're the one with incomplete knowledge, selfish and stvpid.

I'm currently jobless. So, I've decided to be selling meat. So that I can at least be busy. How do you all see it? I hope you all would patronize me when I finally start? I would really appreciate it. At least so that I can be seeing small small money that I can be using to get .k.m., fruits, and other things. I need your opinions/suggestions please.



Thanks!

There’s no onugbu soup or oha soup?

Not even groundnut or white soup?
I guess you read where the canteen dey, she even said local canteen for that region, who are you expecting to be her customers?
You can help to introduce that
Re: My Mom's Local Food Canteen In The North by dangermouse(m):
They produce more food up North and that is why food stuffs are comparably cheaper in the North.

The food stuffs are transported up South and the cost of petrol/diesel makes makes the foodstuffs more expensive. For those you you complaining about South east being greedy. It is not so. I have lived in both Northv( kaduna, Jos, Nasssrawa, Abuja) Southeast ( Enugu, Anambra, Imo), South west ( lbadan and lagos) and Southsouth ( portharcourt and Bayelsa). North produces more food and there is no money there compared to the southern region. Most Of the food in the South are sourced from the North. So it is natural that food stuffs be more expensive up South.

15 years ago, that yam the op posted here in not up to 300 naira in Wasa, Nasarawa state or in Gwantu, kaduna state not to talk about Jos.

5. This oranges is bought for #150
Oga, don't ridicule Southeast if you don't know what to type...

I didn't see much price difference between what you posted and what is sold here...

Where I stay in the Southeast, in the same street, you will get a plate of fufu for 500/800/1000/1800/2500/3000. It depends on your pocket etc. Can you compare this soup here to the soup Rolex, Apama and Co post in their skits?

I bought yam two weeks ago and shared with my parents. 20 tubers I got was at a price of 11700 and it is this size. We got it from Oye Ogwu. You can get it for same price too at Ose here...etc

Yeah, water is 300 per bag and I got a set of 10 bags for 3k. It is sold 2 for 50 which is 25 per satchet.

In all, the margin isn't substantial from what's there up North...so stop saying trash about home

North is a major food basket so food should be alittle cheap, logistics cost and middle men contribute to high prices.

How many varieties of food is majorly produced in South

This man, you too like enjoyment. That is the real problem. Look as you dey mention the soups one by one. If one is fasting, he can mistakenly break the fast.

It is northerners that sell yam and orange down here. It is them that sell at high price. Things are high down here because of the cost of logistics (transportation etc)
