A friend got this for 15k in Ekiti Yesterday. Fair deal?

1 is 8k in lag

MichaelSokoto:
yam dat is supposed to be sold for #1200 to #2000 maximum?

Chai!

Who swear for Nigeria wit bad leaders?

What is this based on?
Why not 120 or 150 naira?
Where did you conjure those numbers from?

emmy9500:
Almost no state in south west will import in new yam, most new yam are locally grown in the state

The reason why south west state import yam is because of storage. peak yam season you will see truck of yam leaving southwest because they don’t have facilities to store them

Ondo, OYO, Ekiti, Kwara are also top yam producing states in Nigeria

Many people do not know that geographically Oyo is more Northern than Benue
Osogbo is at the same latitude as Markurdi and have similar terrain and rainfall

Richtaiwo:
10 tubers of that size at 15k translates to N1500 per tuber. Very cheap. A tube of that size can't be less than N2500 in lagos.

Obleeee a tuber of that size in lagos costs nothing less than 4500

There is nothing fair about it, it's too costly and we are not going to get use to this hardship caused by bad governance. The plan will not work, let the government do the right thing

Kukutente23:
In your dull mind, yam is cheaper in ekiti than North abi?
When we tell you to move around, you'll sit in your hamlet writing rubbish.

apart from Abuja and benue, where in the north can you find yam tubers in Large quantities,it's actually sw people fault,that have abandoned farming for other regions, everyone want their children to put on tie

Komu1048:
Oga I'm in Ekiti right now. Last market in Omuo. I bought 5 pcs of small yams for 1,500. I was told that yam doesn't cost pass 500 before.

Bro, go Ilasa in Ekiti and you will get that quantity for lesser pay. But I can tell you yams r cheaper in Ekiti than north, but Ekiti yams r not as big as the Abuja yams

the major cause of that is the species of yam used in the southwest plus most of the famers up north are heavily subsidize with fertilizers by their state government,that's hardly the case down south .

yam that size was sold around that amount in New Benin mkt during harrybubu regime.

We sef dey enter mkt follow all those mkt hold ground for price goods...

the life cost then nor too much, na u nor know!

Kukutente23:
Lol. Ignoramus

Name the places that produce yam, they are mostly in the middle belt.....but I know it's north central also
But to you its north today
But tomorrow if it doesn't suit your argument again, they become middle belt

Is too costly, honestly Speaking

Your friend is a liar and a thief

Oh my God!! That's 80k now in the north! I'm thinking of relocating to ekiti.

Who is playing those silly games with you
So your own concern is geographical location

You're right. Everyone wants their kids to put on tie in the SW
But you can get such big yams in Niger too
Las Las, north central zone is the food belt of Nigeria
Anyone comparing Ekiti to Niger and Benue in terms of yam doesn't know what he's saying

It's new yam, chances are that it may not be sweet for eating..

IF THIS IS TRUE, then more than fair deal.

4k now

doggedfighter:
Old yams are pricier.

Was it new yams you priced ?

New yams, I was shocked

So new yams are out in ekiti

This cannot be true.

What I bought N2500 in Lagos wasn't nothing close to that size. The size in that picture was N4500 with abeg

Haba!! Did you skip the part that says yam is grown in every part of Nigeria? Before going to list the frontline states for yam production.
This is English o. Don't come and disgrace yourself

Kukutente23:
He thief am
Zombies, when una deceive unaself finish una go rest
You can't even get this for 15k in the North

Modified: For all the ignoramus quoting me, learn today that Benue is the chief yam producing state in Nigeria. Don't just sit in your village and be making comments to those who have travelled widely. Google Zaki Ibiam Yam market for further info. The Gwaris, Gbagyi and Igedes are the chief yam producing tribes in Nigeria and they are in the North Central.

Benue is now embattled. Yam can grow anywhere in Nigeria. Do not leave your food production up to one particular region. They will hold you ransom one day just as they are holding us now.

Yam is grown in every part of Nigeria
