Nigerians always in a hurry to embrace substandard options compared to an actual good life and the simplest basic needs.

Mudu of garri = 1,200
Mudu of beans = 2500
A piece of plantain = 600
A sizeable tuber of yam = 3,000.. etc

My issue with this post is lying that beans, noodles, etc are cheap!

A painter bucket of honey beans is still N12,000! This is painter bucket that we were buying N1,500 in December 2023!
