This is the yams being loaded on trailers from my side to other regions of the country...
If those food delivery trucks and trailers in the uploaded image and elsewhere have dual CNG-gasoline hybrid fuel installed in them, that would instantly drive the cost of haulage and food sold in the markets down. Nigeria is more if a gas-producing country than a crude oil country because of the massive gas reserves which have more value in USD than the fast-depleting crude oil reserves.

With the geopolitical tensions and war between the Israeli on one hand and Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and Iran on the other hand, if things escalate further and Israel massively bombs Iran as planned, the international price per barrel of crude oil will further rise thereby causing a massive spike in the pump price in many countries and also make absolute nonsense of the cost of feeding and transportation that folks in Nigeria are currently complaining about. A rapid and massive deployment of CNG (methane) fuel [which is far cheaper than PMS at N200 to N230 per standard cubic feet of CNG from NNPC and NIPCO CNG refill stations] and CNG conversion kits or outrightly purchase already factory-produced large CNG trucks and buses by the states such as Niger, Kano, Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Delta, Edo, Imo, Rivers, etc, and the central government is what would prevent the spread of more hyperinflation thereby making nonsense of the so-called minimum wage that is being implemented by some states.

The hyperinflation though is LARGELY a mix of artificial inflation due to greed and speculations, illegal toll collection by revenue agents on interstate routes, and illegal checkpoints where some security agents collect bribes. These have gone on unchecked for years since the days of the brutal military dictatorships in Nigeria, and have to be tackled immediately by the governments at all levels in order to remove these food distribution inefficiencies on interstate routes. Period.

I like your mindset. You must be a good fellow. Nice one sir.

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.

If our government really have sense these are areas intervention is needed. Help farmers bring their produce to the market
Other States like Lagos should assist traders to transport their goods especially food stuffs to Lagos . This will reduce the food prices . Not selling rice

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.
Also the Southerners don't want to plant or do farming, they rather be looking for money on the internet and waiting for government to spoonfeed them. Let everyone plant 3hat he or she can eat. You will.prices fall

I agree with you 1000%. Over here in the South, greed is the order of the society. We always feel that we are smart whereas we are idiots, foolish, wicked and selfish.
Transportation from Enugu to Abuja is 38 to 55k depending on the company or bus for a journey of just 250 kilometres or thereabout, while Maiduguri to Abuja cost just 17k for a journey of over 600 kilometres.

Indeed. Thank you. I must commend your courage in bluntly exposing these inefficiencies and greed in the food distribution chain on interstate routes leading to the South of Nigeria.

I read a post here on NL a few months ago that Niger State launched some CNG buses, and Lagos State is gearing up to launch CNG and electric buses too but I wonder why there is NO emphasis on the kitting of the food trucks and trailers with CNG kits so that these big vehicles can become hybrids with the ability to use both CNG (methane) and PMS (gasoline)? The emphasis has been on CNG conversation for buses and cars which are NOT enough to drive down hyperinflation. The cost of food and other items in especially the urban centers in the South of Nigeria have to drop massively so that the folks their can gain relief from high cost of drugs, food, transportation to and from work, etc.

This is indeed an opportunity for these guys in government to rapidly move in and make things better for Nigeria so that the Middle East military tensions between Israel and others will NOT further destabilize Nigeria with more spikes in crude oil prices and pump prices of PMS where people would likely pay as high as N2000 or more per liter. PMS from Dangote Petrochemical Refinery and other refineries can then be exported to earn foreign exchange to shore up the value of the Nigerian local currency.

I agree with you, you don't need to do that. Leave it for those women doing the runs. There are easier ways of making money.
Better still let's put some "respeck" on their names. Nothing like greed there and even if there is, they deserve it.
I have been there, I know.
