It's way more than that. How much is a kilogram of chicken and beef? How much is a derica cup of rice? How much is vegetable oil you'll use to fry and cook the stew base for the jollof? How much is fresh pepper and tomato mix? How much is tomato paste?
Even without proteins in the jollof rice, the price is not enough.
People like you husband can never progress.
How many cups of rice will a family of 5 (father, mother and 3 children) consume? They can't consume more than half rubber which is 6 cups and 6 cups is 2,400 naira. A kilo of chicken cut into 10-12 is 6500 naira. Since it's jollof, 2,000 tomatoes, 500 fresh pepper, 500 Onion, 500 Maggi, 1,000 jollof seasoning, 500 leaf 🌿, 500 crayfish, 500 Enitan, 1,500 groundnut oil and even 7 eggs 🥚at 1,500. With the calculation here, how will you spend upto 20k for a pot 🍲 of jollof rice in a family of 5?

Vegetable oil is groundnut oil and miscellaneous can either covers for transportation or jollof seasoning or leaf 🌿 or crayfish

Tinubu has made opposition run out of propaganda materials with his reforms. These are now the kind of meaningless statistics they peddle around to deceive the gullible. Ab initio, we would have been hearing about plans to remove fuel subsidy and forex harmonization, but Tinubu has done that already, hence, jollof rice is the next thing to talk about

May Day: Hunger, unemployment, insecurity real— Tinubu

According to him: “The theme demands our collective attention and serves as a stark reminder of the need to create an environment where every worker feels safe, valued, and empowered to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our nation. As your President, I assure you that this administration is committed to creating such an environment for the common good.”

On the economic hardship, he noted that while it is a global phenomenon, its effects on Nigerians are particularly severe.

Tinubu said: “I am aware of the peculiarities of the economic hardship Nigerians face—rising living costs, hunger, insecurity, unemployment, and the loss of livelihoods. These challenges are real and demand definitive solutions, which I am poised to address as your President.

Better to use minimum wage of N70k as reference. after three pots of rice, what you have left is change for pure water.
Re: Cost Of Preparing Jollof Rice Rises To ₦27,528 Per Pot, Up 153% — SBM by MarketDispatch: 4:43pm On Jul 24, 2025
So, minimum wage can only cook 3 pots of Jollof rice.

Re: Cost Of Preparing Jollof Rice Rises To ₦27,528 Per Pot, Up 153% — SBM by nedekid: 4:48pm On Jul 24, 2025
Nice one. By next year when the tax bill comes into effect, purchasing power will reduce more. Jollof rice will reduce to once in 2 months or for some families only when there is birthday celebrations.
Shebi some people are still hailing this desaster, hope apc will give them special Jollof rice to eat.
Meanwhile the newly approved $800m loan they said will be used for coastal road is backed up with expectant taxes that will be generated from the new tax bill. Road where the contract was given on a paddy paddy arrangement, where one young man is on the board of the company.
Surely he will be able to eat jollf daily.

Even without proteins in the jollof rice, the price is not enough.
Chicken a kilo - 4,800
2 derica - 2,800
Veg. Oil - 1,700
Pepper - 2,000 (from Aboki and you might have excess)
Tomato paste - 400
Onions - 600
Maggi seasoning - 200

Ah let's add gas of maybe 2kg... So you have it.

This 2 derica go reach family of 5 chop bellefull for weekend.

I hardly buy meat, as I have arrangements to regularly get meat and I have one small poultry where I harvest fowls in case chicken hungry me.

If the family were to eat 3k each a day that's 15k , I'll say, it's best they cook with this my list. Forget the other things you wan add, na make belle no empty pesin with limited osusu suppose dey after.

Those army soldiers that protested about the foodstuff given to 10 of them to feed for a week abi month will need your services to analyse how that foodstuff is more than enough for them. Lol see how you breakdown pot of jollof rice. shocked
Omo, you and you wife go de drag chop monie ohh. Imagine 1kilo of chick for family of 5, no meat join the egg sef. Maybe you go calculate how many grains of rice each persin go chop, 300 grains for mama and papa, 200 for each pikin. You come cut the kilo of chicken into 12 pieces, guy, na so you and your puppies de chop for house?
Even if you give my dogs rice to chop come put that kind chicken ontop, na bad eyes them go look you. Lol
