Plantain is still cheap out here.

Hey... Diamond, greetings.

Have you read this recent thread post below? It's a further emphasis on the FACT that the republishing of highly defamatory posts from crappie blogs or sources on this Website is NOT being tolerated anymore. Way to go.

Now back to the subject matter of your thread.

Whoa! 9 ripe plantains for 3 grands. Then how much would 9 unripe plantains cost? Where did you get these 9 plantains from?

I have a sweet tooth occasionally, BUT air fried plantains (dodo) are one of my favorite meals alongside that tectonic smoky party jolly rice infused with bay leaves, curry, thyme and more. The scent of the dodo wafting through the air from the kitchen after using the air fryer to the dining is simply stellar.


You may wish to read these 2 links below. Just 2 days ago, this first thread below hit the front page of NL. The cheap plantain there is from somewhere in Osun State.

A second link right below is on cheap plantains from Cross River State. The dude offering that service said on page 8 of the thread that the plantains can be shipped to any part of Nigeria. He's actually from the West of Nigeria and grew up there but currently lives in Cross Rivers.

Oh I get it, I've quickly edited my post to reflect your incognito, "below the radar" mode.

hehe am wanted by the FBI. Just kidding. Yeah those bloggers are crazy. Always click baiting and switching up stories to draw people to their blogs. It’s stiff competition being a blogger

I got it from this place called maruwa oniru. I think it’s a steal but that’s just my opinion considering the exchange rate that’s 1 dollars and some cents. I don’t think you can buy these for 1 dollar in the great ol USA. We are still living great out here. Just find a relative in USA to be sending you 20 dollars every week 😆😆😆😆😆 never ask for too much or they will block your phone but 20 dollars they will be happy to send now you can enjoy 9 plantains for 1 dollar like me 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️😆😆

Am sure all those places in the link have it dirt cheaper than 3k

Blogging... Is that even a stable career path?

It seems plantains are in season in Nigeria at the moment from what I've gleaned online.

I hope you found the two cheap plantain sources web links above useful? I ALSO wanted to know where you got the 9 ripe plantains from in Lagos?

hey bro am not that much of a foodie or penny pincher to be sourcing for plantain. I buy what I see on the streets in real time. Place is oniru maruwa

I didn't realize that you've responded to this. Oh yes, Diasporans who made it back to especially Lagos are having a swell time based off of some close friends of mine who have gone back to Lagos and what I've seen on YouTube.

it’s a tough place like everywhere else but you can still eat good out here . Some are still living great going to eat in restaurants where the Cheque is 100 k per plate. The weather is still great and the police are still friendly 😆😆

I only referenced those links because of the subject matter of your thread title and to emphasize that the plantain season over there in Naija is in effect. Far from it, I wasn't inferring that you're some kinda "penny pincher." Penny pincher bawo? Lol

We belong to the subset of folks who can easily whip out our credit cards or debit cards and pay for whatever we want. Innit?

Alright then, I'm signing out.

hehe Chief I didn’t mean it like dat na, the point is that unlike many, and trust me many are that inclined, I just buy what I see. I know people who will travel to other states to buy bags of rice cheaper just to save a few bucks. People make unnecessary trips just to buy cheaper food. But at night same people can destroy 1 million Naira following ashewo in night club 🤷🏽‍♂️😆

Alright Alhaji take an easy sha for malmo wey you Dey. Abi na Amsterdam ? You no gree tell us oooo hehe 😄

Absolutely well said. It's all a matter of setting one's personal investment priorities right.

Those who are enjoying right now got their investment priorities and assets right from the get go and have made good returns to enjoy now OR have relatives in the Diaspora who send somethings down to Naija-based relatives and friends. It's all about the choices we make in life.

I absolutely get you. There's that subconscious human inclination for spontaneous purchases. But spending money on the essentials based off of Maslow's Law is key.

However, just like you said right above, some folks go for price comparisons to get bargains on items, BUT still flex sometimes with millions in the night clubs such as Quilux. But then again, you and I know that kinda life of waste of millions on asewos ain't the best financially. That's why it's wise to pre-select our friends and acquaintances because on the subliminal level, they have an ultimate effect on our spending habits due to the "herd instinct."

maslows law, quilox, herd mentality of people around you pushing you into bad habits. Lol I haven’t been to quilox yet. Can never see it happening but never say never. It’s always getting locked down for noise pollution or traffic nuisances.

All apt points. Let me look into maslows law 😄
