I visited a rural area for a community project and spent 4weeks. I ate pounded yam with correct egusi soup and bush meat almost every day as lunch .
You are well favoured my brother.

I ate yam last feb this year,it is xo pretty expensive, plantain 3 small miserable looking pieces is now 1k.
Miserable indeed.
My Son brought back 4k Plantain I asked him to buy on his way back from work and I almost screamed "Agbadoooooooo! when I saw the rubbish.

We are really in serious trouble in this country. People are suffering.
The annoying thing is that the citizens who bear the brunts of this sufferings because of this Tinubu’s administration, are the ones singing his praises and spreading propaganda that things are much better now than the past. They know the truth but choose to lie because they are same kinsmen.

Please how do you preserve them? The ONLY problem I have with it is that they spoil easily; like within 2 days. How do you preserve your own Please?
Buy those big ones from aboki
There are many aboki selling in benin
Buy 1 basket and make sure it's those big ones
1 basket is 3500,I ate the last one of them I bought on April 30last month day before yesterday
That's basically 15 days ,it could have last more but I was hungry
The yam I bought for 1500 was very small and was already rotting inside
Don't buy those small small ones
Buy in baskets
1 basket is 3500 but price am 3k and buy 500 naira carrot to join your egg sauce ,in case u want to eat it with egg sauce
Look at the body before buying and make sure they are not wet
If they are in a wet environment they will decay fast
When I bought mine last month
I put them on dry bagco bag I laid on the ground and made sure heat or water didn't touch them

Condition don make your crayfish bend
Yoruba will say na sufferhead dey praise the taste of cowskin for soup
Nope
I like yam truly
But on a nutritional level
Sweet potatoes better pass yam and rice well well
If u are diabetic,it's better than rice self
And it makes person to fill full
Buy those big ones,not these small small ones and u will know I'm talking true
I never really eat yam that much myself
But on a nutritional level and common sense level for your pocket
Sweet potatoes is the way to go
Very high in fiber and high in vitamin a and other nutrients
It's a complex carbohydrates compared to rice and yam
If u are diabetic or watching your weight or u don't want to be eating too much to loose weight
1k sweet potatoes is enough for a day as u will just be filling full throughout
Instead of eating unnecessary carbs and sugars like indomie spaghetti that will spoil your system

Sweet potato dey cheaper sha but it get short shelf life and it dey tire person to chop. Even if you do am chips, it go still tire you.

Yam fit last for house pass sweet potato.
I bought one basket for 3500 on April 30th last month and ate the last one on the day before yesterday,if u see how big it was
The last one was heavy ,I ate it with egg sauce and couldn't finish it in one sitting,I had to remain till night to finish it
Even till 12pm the second day,I was still filling full lol
U are saying sweet potatoes tire person.are you going to be eating it everyday
Even when eating everyday,it's better than Yam that's just starch
Sweet potatoes saves gas,and no need for salt and sugar
U can literally just eat it after boiling it
It was after I did my research I didn't understand the hype about yam
Re: It's Like Yam Is Now For The Elite Class by Phabulous4(m): 8:57pm On May 16, 2025

Potatoes has been a life saver for me. Who yam help?

It is both funny and sad reading some persons trying to excuse incompetence at the centre.

A government comes in and makes socio-economic conditions worse, but some people are making excuses.

Come 2027, apc must leave the centre. Apc! Out!!
