ManirBK:
The most expensive food item in Birnin Kebbi is Yam. I bought a single Yam for ₦2,000. Is this a fair price?

This size is 800 naira in my current location, but Igbo traders coming from East buy at 1,100.

Both yams should be at most N1,700.

How come we don't have fix prices for goods anymore?

Leave the onbomte alone person wey they work 11 pounds for hour oga u dey uk we have seen your post

Stephen0mozzy:
And you dey add exclamation mark?
What's your minimum pay per hour?

Maybe you should tell us how much your earn where you live.

Or express the cost as a percentage of your income.

I'm sure yam doesn't grow where you are
A pack of 5 Apple you buy for £1 (N2000) where you are will sell for almost N5000 here

Ahmed0336:
Places like kebbi are not known for farming yam.
It is cheaper in Benue and Nasarawa.

Yes it's true, yams are majorly farmed from the north central southwards. One of the people I get yams from gets her yams from Kwara State, another one from Oyo State. Yams and potatoes are costlier in the far north than south

Yams are expensive at the moment but in Niger state 4 of this go for Maximum of N2,000.

ManirBK:
what's your take on that amount?

,it's too expensive... Jonathan time that was 200 naira, buhari time that wàs 400 naira

Inukwa ooooo

That is on the high side considering you bought it in Kebbi,,

Bluntemperor:
How did you arrive at your ' 2k is the minimum pay per day for a minimum worker' ?
Some of you talk loosely here, without justification and verification.
I pay Labourers 5k here,for daily jobs.
Stop hate and bitterness towards the govt,just to placate them.

he's referring to government 70k minimum wage which if dividend by 30 days it's 2k+ truly

The Yam is not even sexy?

Go zamfara or benue, but insecurity much

budaatum:
I don't think they ask about pay per hour before selling you stuff in the market, or you'd just send a low earner to go get it for you cheaper.

And no, I was not comparing. Just stating a fact.

It's cheaper over there, our minimum wage is 70k. Multiply 2000 by 31 day, that's #62,000
How much is the balance

70k is our minimum wage here, and we still have millions of people earning below that amount per month that's the fact

Is it only Igbo traders that come to buy yam from your area

dominique:
That's the amount I bought yams of around that size about 2 weeks ago. Shouldn't such foodstuff be cheaper in the north?

It depends on where. I mean, "the north" is huge. It'll definitely be cheaper in the yam-growing belt from the Benue basin to Taraba to parts of the FCT.
