Will You Buy This Food For $60? by Nnamdipapa(op): 10:20pm On Aug 11, 2025

Among the Igbo delicacies, I used to like this particular food a lot. Its called , Abacha. The last time I was in Nigeria, I was practically chasing Abacha sellers down the street in order to buy.

Now, checking the local Facebook Market, I came across this post from a seller in my neighborhood.

A plate of Abacha for $60? I think this is over the top and we like to hike the prices of our goods wherever we find ourselves.

What so you think? Is this price reasonable ?

Considering the location, I'd say it's worth it.
It probably cost a lot to ship those ingredients over there.

I think its too much considering I had bought better looking Abacha plate for $30 in the past.

No it is not worth it. This is pure criminality. That's not even worth 20 dollars.

Who the heck told you this? 60 usd is NOT chicken change. In fact, you will do more with 60 usd in America than Nigeria. So stop saying what you have no clue about.

Even if you have the money, you don't waste it or let others take advantage of you. That is how the rich became rich in the first place. That plate of food is overpriced.

Thank you. I wonder how people think $60 is chicken change in the US and believe everyone in the US is living in heaven while everyone in Naija living in hell.

With $20 or less, you can buy a decent plate of food at a regular eatery here. I believe Nigeria is way cheaper than here. I will spend less living in Nigeria than here and I have made lots of comparisons in the past two years.

The Abacha is not even looking rich. No onions, kponmo or other garnishment. It just looks plain.

Imdians and Chinese are taking advantages of cheap labours in Nigeria the past 40 years, why not me? I pay better than the indians and Chinese and, most of the staffs get to work from home so, a win-win situation. The west is saturated and Africa, especially Nigeria is a great place to make money if you know how.
