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

blackboy:
I don't even think in Buhari time you can buy such for that price. I go all the way to Nassarawa state from Abuja to look for good bargains even Niger state . Guy I hope say you are being honest. Well, go next week and try it and come back here with update.

Cheaper but tasteless

TRUTHaDDICTED:
Maybe that's the meaning of the word in your language, but once that word is mentioned here, what comes to mind immediately is an evil and wicked killer terrorists.

RoyalBlu:

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

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

I know minna very well. A peaceful town with fertile land. It's unfortunate that terrorists have invaded gwariland where like gwada where food is grown in abundance. Good to see trailers are coming to yams in trucks to be taken to the south, especially lagos. Yams and dry fish are so cheap in all along from suleija to minna. I always buy and go and go do give-away in abuja.
Concerning cost in the south, it is not greed. The roads are very bad and the cost of fuel is now very high. And there's insecurity. For example, that truckload of yam will pass through hell to go from niger to SE or SS. And in about 20 or more checkpoints, they will encounter all manners of checkpoints that will extort them, from police to agbero to those guys claiming they are checking agricultural produce.
Business is meant to generate profit. When the traders finally get home, they calculate all their expenses and then add their profits, which is what makes the cost higher in the south.

Where in Niger State?

etrouble:
Your own town nko? If you plant yam there, shey e no go grow?

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.

ericuzor:
can you help someone to buy food stuff at Niger..

Ijoba85:
Where is the location brother? Let's do business pls

Catalysttt:
Sorry sir, for the sake of my ethos and rules of operation, I don't engage in this sir! No business deals!

CondemnBattery:
Can you buy some and waybill to me in lagos?

Elusive001:
So why are the northerners complaining of hardship and high cost of feeding?

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

frazee:
Ahh... the country is really bad in 2013 I bought 800 yam from kuta market in shiroro Lga.. when I got to Abuja I had to throw some away because it was too much and heavy in the bag... so if this is 5k then there is trouble...

I'm very sorry sir, in as much as I'm tempted to drop contact but I don't think it's going to be possible sir due to some personal reasons! I'm very sorry for the disappointment 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.
