I was just wondering if Nigerians are still eating pounded yam?

The price of yam will just weak you.

Normal size 9k-10k i just weak.
Please which state are you that you are buying yam 9-10k?
Because this same yam was what my wife bought and prepared this morning in Benin city. The yam was bought for 3,500 naira.
It's still very expensive for that amount compared to same yam been sold for 800 naira few years back. But I think why it's expensive it's because Nigeria do not import it. Any Agric products not imported are always cost because Nigeria farmers are wicked and heartless. This same yam, if federal government open border to the importation of it, Nigeria farmers would crash their prices almost immediately. It's the same thing they are doing with garri

I don't know where they're selling average sized yams for 9-10k, the ones I got about w weeks ago are 3 slender ones for 6k (2k each)

It's the time of the year when yams are scarce and expensive. By July/August, new yams will start becoming available. If you and some people can join money to buy yams from the abokis that sell in heaps in mile 12 market, it makes a lot of sense.
Yam is expensive all year round, even in Aug - Oct it will still be expensive.

The problem is insecurity, only few farmers dare enter bush to farm since 2015.

APC and fulani bandits are killing Nigerians slowly

And if you ask those illiterates supporting tinubu why things are so hard, they'd tell you Nigeria is now living it's real status , that Nigeria was operating fake and patch-patch economy in the past. But back then,we were rated largest economy in africa based in our gdp. Today, we're 4th in africa. They're so dumb
It's annoying to say the least.
