Pure lie plate of egusi oha bitter leaf nsala here in austria is 10euros to 12euros

Dijita:
You are in Australia and He is in America and you call him a liar. How do you know he is lying? The fact that it is cheaper in Australia is the more reason he was outraged.
Here is a proof from me.

immortalcrown:
Join the business and sell at a cheaper rate, if you believe that those sellers overprice their items.

I heard that even fruits are expensive there. So, why won't things imported all the way from Africa be expensive?

Do you know that any Japanese that enters Nigeria and finds out that 2007 model of Toyota Corolla goes for more than 3 million naira will complain that the price is outrageous? He will do so because the car is very cheap and becoming outdated in Japan. But that Japanese does not know the cost of bringing that almost-outdated model of car to Nigeria. It is easy for an African person to complain of the price of pounded yam in a Western country because that African is probably judging by the cost of the same pounded yam in Africa without knowing the cost of providing the same pounded yam in a Western country. So, join the business, pay rent and all the taxes in that country, export yam from Africa and tell us your own price.

Rest oga, yen yen yen yen yen yen.
Only Africans cultivate yam?? 😂
Abi na only Africans dey cultivate egusi?? 😂
Go to Birmingham UK, the Irish plants 80% of African foodstuffs.
Same with America, go to Chile and see for yourself.
France not excluded.
Don't be ignorant.

Akinfemmy:
Garri itself is not even an African food. The Portuguese introduced it, and what makes you think that Europeans don't eat yams? You do know that egusi is also melon, and it's part of their delicacy. In all you do, try to seek wisdom.

Afonja007:
Oga I said Austria not Australia things is cheaper in America than Austria

You are the werey. Pay rent and all the taxes in that country, export yam from Africa to the place and tell us your price.

Dijita:
sorry I for the mix up. As you can see from the uber receipt i uploaded, African food is more expensive here. Everytime I crave African food at work. I shell out $40 to $50.

Mariangeles:
Those African food sellers too should take it easy, before they totally boycott their food, sending them out of business.
Taking advantage of people's cravings to exploit them is sabotaging yourself.

One who eats all at once does not know how to eat.

A Nigerian man has taken to social media to vent his frustration, calling out African food sellers in America for what he described as “outrageous prices.” According to him, he was charged a staggering $140 for just two plates of Egusi soup and small portions of pounded yam.

Expressing his anger, he lamented that African food sellers deliberately inflate prices, especially when selling to fellow Nigerians. “Tell me why I have to pay $40 excluding tax and tips for a plate of Egusi and small pounded yam that can’t even fill me up? Other people sell theirs for less than $15, and you are charging $40,” he complained.

The man explained that during his visit to an African restaurant yesterday, he was billed $140 for two plates of Egusi and pounded yam. When he demanded a breakdown, he was told the actual price per plate was $40, with additional charges for tax and tips.

Shocked, he questioned the sellers: “$40 for a plate of food, not gold?”

Vowing to take action, he declared that he would start exposing Nigerian food vendors who charge above $20 per plate. He added that even the $20 price tag should only apply if the restaurant has a fancy setting and a prime location.

Still venting his frustration, he asked: “Are you people the only ones who need money? Don’t others need money too?”

He further explained that many Africans in America are not eating local dishes simply because they lack options, but because they genuinely want to support their own people and help African-owned businesses thrive.

vikstandon:
Please when has "tip" become compulsory in billing.

I pay for the commodity, pay for VAT, pay for tip.

Someone please educate me.

Lifestone:
This is still N30,000 for a plate of Pando and Egusi soup that we saw in the picture. its not more than N6,000 here in Nigeria

manuelkel:
Don't mind the werey, the way people think some times you begin to wonder if they're civilized.... $70 for a plate of egusi and fufu?? 😂

Eniolohunda:
Since I've been going to get Garri in African market, I never see Portuguese garri. I've been seeing Garri ijebu, Ghana Garri, and our yellow Garri . And since I've been mingling with other white colleagues I've never seen anything has cassava in their recipes. It's only the Phillipinos that I've seen have something doing with cassava here, and what they make with it is not even Garri. They make the thing like cake, so man talk what you only know. Even if Portuguese makes Garri as you claim, where is it in the US market?
