Please assume I am lying and fact-check me: This photo was taken on Saturday, April 6, 2024, at Upton Park market in London by Ola Ajai, a female Briton of Nigerian descent, who is also a faculty member at Plymouth University.

You can see the tubers of yam cut into two and sometimes even three or four. Why? Because yams are expensive, both in Nigeria, Ghana, and Europe. It is not everyone who can afford a whole tuber at once.

Also, it is sometimes done to show that the yam is not rotten inside. In the past, many people buy tubers of yam, take them home and find that they are rotten and inedible inside, though they look fine on the outside. As a result, some traders will cut open the yams to show they are in good condition.

Do not allow Emergency Lovers of Nigeria, who still harbour a grudge over the results of the #NigerianElections2023, to gaslight you into believing that things are suddenly bad in Nigeria because people cut yams for sale for various reasons.

This is not a new practice; and it even happened before I was born and will still occur after we leave this planet. That is why Yeshua (Jesus) said: "The poor you will always have with you."-Matthew 26:11.

"When tyranny & oppression come to the land, it will be in the guise of fighting crime". James Madison (U.S President 1809-1817)

....The oppressed man loves and respects only one man, his oppressor, and he has only one dream in life, which is to join the class of oppressors, in order to fulfil his own fantasies.("Pedagogy of the Oppressed"- Paulo Freire, Brazilian Author).

"Sometimes, people dont want to hear the truth because they dont want their illusions destroyed." -Friedrich Nietzsche.

Is that how lazy we have been to produce same foods we are going to consume, abi seh we don dey import yams ni?
