Bluntguy:

Bbdiyya:
Bro always remember in crop production, there's what they called climatic and soil requirements, maybe the soil in southern parts of the country doesn't support such crop.

I bought onions on Saturday and way billed it to my mum in the east because I reside in the north. Fast forward 72hrs after, my mum is yet to get the goods I sent her. I went back to the park to complain only for the manager to tell me that the goods was missing. He arrogantly asked what I wanted him to do and from a pained heart, I insisted that he pay for the missing goods. He asked me to come back after a month to collect my money else I should do my worst. I am a gentleman by nature, but I lost my cool when I engaged him in a heated argument. I kuku go report am give police. The police gave him until 6pm today to return the onions or face arrest.

Rapmoney:
Bro, is that the cause of the unfortunate increase in prices of onions?

After reading through all the submissions above, I understand that average Nigerian have amnesia or reading disability.

Onion 🧅 is mainly planted in the core northern region, Maiduguri / Sokoto. This year there was unpredictable rainfall that Sahara desert 🏜️ was flooded. Also, this lead to an incident in Maiduguri which a dam collapsed and crop produce failed massively.

You haven't seen onion plantation in Benue state, it will wow you, we plenty and harvest onion more than some north east and north west states. The reason for scarcity is seasonal. By late January to February, onions will flood the market nationwide.

The effects of such in not immediate it is now that it will tell on items like Onion 🧅 which is seasonal planted.

I hope this educate some people.

About two days ago, I went to the market to purchase some few food items. Na so I say make I buy onions for stew. Bros, the price was alarming. The woman who sells onions told me that four tiny onions go for N500. The onions were as small as Maggi cubes. I looked back, then looked at my left and right sides to be sure that she wasn't speaking to someone else. When I asked her for the price of a sizeable one, she said 2k. I was astonished to my bone marrow. Paying N2,000 for an averaged size onion! Same amount is greater than what I used to prepare a pot of soup in 2018.

What is the cause of this alarming price of onions? Is it an artificial scarcity caused by the Christmas season or a natural disaster like flood, which some persons are attributing as the cause? Are there no sustainable and enduring ways to check this hydra-headed inflation of food items in Nigeria?

DonaldGenes:
You did well bro..kindly update us

I need thar idiot arrested

ROTTWEILER007:
At exactly 6pm, I called the police officer, who I believe placed a call to him (tje park manager) because he called me to apologize and promised to have my item delivered to my mum first thing tomorrow morning. I will just give him the benefit of doubt. Let's see what tomorrow holds
