Things are really getting expensive everywhere but seems to be better in some locations than the other (greed and selfishness inclusive)!

This pepper in this basket is #1,200

Where in Niger State?

This is the yams being loaded on trailers from my side to other regions of the country...

OP you say 5k for all these yams? (In the first slide)

Na the same country we dey like this?

Bigger yams, my mom bought this for #7,000 a bit costly, though bigger than the previous one In the first picture

Yes sir.... Very much the same country, southerners might use transportation cost as an excuse but still yet greed is still there

I'm trying to upload more images of other commodities and their respective price but nairaland is messing up

You bought directly from the farmers selling to those trucks na

Right! Transportation cost has always been the 'fall guy'

It really do masks the greed of these traders.

No sir, not at all! It's from the retail women hawking it around...but this images are from the market! If we attempted buying directly from the farmers, then be rest assured that it'll be more cheaper than this sir.

When some folks in the north post images of things and their prices, I see a lot people arguing that it's a lie and can't be possible. Well, I think the southern greedy traders have conditioned the brain of many people over there to always believe that it must be expensive and no any other way else, it's pathetic to see some other people crying for food which is supposed to be the basis of our existence and affordable to even the poorest amongst us, while some other people in the other places have this same food in abundance. Not always about the government being the issue but also the traders and the marketers too! Over here in my region, philanthropy, help of mankind and sympathy towards fellow humans is the other here. If not for the terrorism and killings going on here, cost of living and raising children with the best of life affordable things even to the poor are a bit easy here, ranging from housing to feeding to transportation and other basic necessities of life.

Funny enough, some other southerners even justify the reckless extortion by fellow compatriots in their regions and not even see evil in it. I read in this same forum here where some market women arrested their fellow woman that she was selling garri way more cheaper than them and as such will ruin the market for them, I don't know if anyone could remember that story here. I shocked my head in dismay at the reading through the news. It was pathetic and too bad. Arrogance In illegality. Some goods produced in the south that are shipped down here to the north are more cheaper here in the north than the southern region where it was originally produced or manufactured despite paying for transportation cost to bring it down here, yet it's still cheaper. Clothes, building materials to electrical fittings are way more cheaper here. I don't know why it is so over there. Some even brag about buying a cloth or a shirt for #25,000 there of which #10 to #15,000 could get the same equivalent of same quality here.

The bags packed on the ground beside the trailer truck is a sack containing shear butter seeds extracted from the Shear butter fruits from the Shear butter trees here. This bags are being shipped to other regions of the country for processing as raw materials to be converted to other finished goods and commodities ( I heard it's used for producing oils) I don't know the type though, maybe turkey oil or controller oil as it's commonly called here or something else.

I needed to upload more images but it's not longer responding.

Maize is here, groundnut is here, millet is here, guinea corn is here, yam Is here, white beans and soybeans will soon be out too by November and early December!

Everyone deserves right to eat and be alive! Food should be very much available and affordable regardless of what excuse for everybody!

I'm on the firm believe that what is the basis of survival such as food should not be an object of debate.

You bought 12 yams for 5k. So how much is the farmer/seller profit

Wow... Some places no really dey feel this inflation walahi!

If not for banditry and terrorism, North would have been the relocation destination for some Southerners.

Southern Nigeria needs to really sit up with regards to Large scale Agriculture!

We can't say this enough!!!
