Elubo. Elubo is around 1800 per paint whoesale price at my base



If not that Nigerians are not research minded, 200,000 Naira invested into cassava farming can provide a family of 5-8 with Garri, fufu and the likes for at least 4-7 months of daily consumption

Fgovernor:
Not everyone can do subsistence agriculture, not everyone owns a farmland or little garden.

Are you going to start subsistence farming as a tenant.
Truth be told, Nigeria is messed up, I saw it coming a long time ago and a lot of people warned about it.
I wonder what Fela would say if he was alive

budaatum:
But jmoore is not my leader, nor do I know his tribe, and nor has he done anything for me to criticise him for.

Tinubu, on the other hand, is from my tribe.

maasoap:
Millions of people are living in the cities. Even some of those who are living in the semi rural areas don't have access to farmlands

wiseoneking:
You teenagers on nairaland, Seun need to do something about this. Your comments are very childish. You should concentrate to make up your WAEC and NECO deficiency instead of spending a lot of your time on nairaland.

blahc007:
People are emotionally supporting NLC on this strike matter....

NLC is fighting for there own..... question we have refused to ask ourselves,: who is fighting for the common hustler weh de street de fyn em own?

Workers will soon be collecting big money once this minimum wage is approved....that ordinary carpenter weh deh ur street, who will give him his own?
Qqq

Wetin we sopoz gather contend for, we leave am de chase shadow.

About 70 - 80% of food products we consume in this country comes from the North....
These farmers can't do there farm work in Peace because of insecurity......and this has affected the prices of food in a way .....nobody is talking, no protest, no strike...

Prices of food de soar like eagle, nobody de talk, electricity tariff went up, even the light we no see....nobody is talking about it..

Imagine Garri.....person come de ask of a cheaper alternative to Garri kwa....I mean the so called poor man's food... ewww Jesusssss... So wetin go come cheap pass am now?

Nigerians and misplaced priorities....5&6

Apart from the land, which mostly can be gotten at zero cost, what exactly will gulp up to that?

Will it change anything
We've chosen to make excuses for our indolence

Konquest:
The OP is Ibo and lives in Aba based on his past posts I have read. It's pretty obvious that these high prices are subjectively fixed based on the greed glands of wholesalers and retailers in the major urban areas.

However, areas outside the major urban areas have cheaper prices of commodities and other items. The governments at all levels have to find ways of regulating these arbitrary prices and set up whistleblower phone lines to report any person that sells above standard retail prices while working in conjunction with market unions in each state of Nigeria.

HanisahZuwy:
If you're in Abuja, I can make/produce and send to you a very nice swallow ( an alternative to garri), you would even prefer it to garri sef. It consists of cassava flakes, maize and few other things. It'll be properly processed and turned into a nice swallow you would love.


If you're interested, give me a PM.

MIKOLOWISKA:
you start
We will copy you if successful

jmoore:
The price of garri keeps increasing. A paint of garri is 4,000 naira.

Any cheap alternative to garri that one can use to eat soup?

Me I don't know o. But I know say e day hold belle wella.

maasoap:
Sarcasm. Okay


You guys should quit this line of thinking, it is a dumb way to make an argument

Difrent:
Cassave takes average 18 months to maturity
Wetin dem go dey eat before cassava mature ?

But I get your point.

Most Nigerians are not research minded and are actually lazy both in thoughts and actions

Most Nigerians should better get it that tough times will always be with us , its always been there just that we forget about it the moment we get a little comfort but they are always there, and most times are caused by factors beyond our control like the Ukraine war or the Israeli Palestinian conflict..... Do you know the world is yet to recover after the disruptions caused by COVID 19?

So the smart ones instead of bitching around look for opportunities to explore and adopt coping mechanisms

Have we forgotten the saying that when the time gets tough the tough gets going.
The situation is made worst by the fact that opportunities are limited for the vast majority of Nigerians

MIKOLOWISKA:
they know
They don't want to do hard labor

budaatum:
Have you tried sawdust? It's free from the sawmill or 50 Naira per garawa depending on the wood quality.

Alternatively, grow your own cassava and make your own gari.

Life na turn by turn.

God has finally remembered farmers.

The men and women in the villages processing bags of garri everyday will be smiling to the banks.

folake4u:
Cous cous?

budaatum:
Yeah, Tinubu should open borders so the hard working farmers in other countries can flood the market with the produce of their hard work so we can eat what we have not sown. We after all owe it to those countries across the border to create employment for them so we don't die of hunger.

It's not as if unemployment has killed anyone yet, and who cares about sweating!

Chochovini:
. What ia that? I‘m curious.

CharleyBright:
Are farmers in your country going to farms anymore because of insecurity?

Honestey:
Sand

DMerciful:
Thats not the point, are you not gonna vote anybody?

The point is the citizens must protest for them to be placed on same salary scale as civil servants. Lets stop being docile!

SMARTMOTORS:
Stop throwing Banana peels away..gather them, dry and grind it..... It's a banger!!
