Pepper just full everywhere. People are even begging people to buy their own now.

I got mine from one of those hawking fulani ladies. Since i don't live with my wife at the moment, i sharperly took over the role of the Kitchen.

That bowl is very deep. It seems i didn't snap it well. Pepper is so cheap here now that you can even get a small bowl for free.
How much was it in October 2022 when minimum wage was 30k?

How much was it in October 2014 when minimum wage was 18k?

This information would help us figure out if we are better off or worse off in Tinubu’s renewed hopelessness administration.

Deltafirstson:
Although the pump price of fuel was N197 when President Bola Tinubu took over on May 29, 2023, the product now sells for N617 per litre – less than two months after.

In his inaugural address, Tinubu announced that subsidy was gone, fulfilling a promise that all leading presidential candidates made during the campaign.

However, pump price of fuel hit N537 per litre days after Tinubu ended subsidy.

On Tuesday, the price climbed further to N617, a development that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL) attributed to “market forces”.

Nigerians have been lamenting the hardship occasioned by fuel price hike. Amid the lamentation, a video where Tinubu campaigned to slash the price of fuel went into circulation.

Checks by Daily Trust affirmed the authenticity of the video uploaded on the YouTube page of Channels Television.

At his campaign rally in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, on January 25, 2023, Tinubu spoke on a number of issues, but those of fuel scarcity and naira redesign made the headlines.

However, Tinubu who spoke in Yoruba language, also assured the crowd that though people were saying petrol price would hit N200, it would be reviewed downward under him.

“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200 per litre. Go and relax, we will bring it down,” he had said in the 7th minute of the video.

King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, a Fuji musician who performed at the rally, interrupted the president’s speech with chants as the crowd cheered.

On the campaign podium with the president were Vice-President Kashim Shettima; Pa Bisi Akande, interim National Chairman of the APC; Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to the President; Senator Gbenga Daniel; among other bigwigs of the ruling party.

Tinubu went further to say Nigerians would defy the acute fuel scarcity at the time and trek to cast their votes.

“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200/N500 per litre. Go and relax, we will crash the prices,” he had said.

Petrol should never cost more than N70 per litre, says APC

January 19, 2015

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described as mere tokenism the reduction of petrol price from N97 to N87 per litre, saying the petroleum product ordinarily should sell for N70.

On Sunday, the federal government announced the reduction of petrol price, citing the fall of global crude oil price.

But the APC through Lai Mohammed, its spokesman, on Monday accused the government of making a show out of deceit, saying “a 10.3 per cent slash in the price of petrol was a mere tokenism at a time the price of crude oil has crashed by about 60 per cent”.

It argued that the pump price of a litre of petrol should not be more than 70 Naira, alleging that at N87 per litre, the government was forcing Nigerians to subsidise the massive corruption in the oil sector by N17 for every litre of fuel.

Buhari’ll reduce petrol to N40/L —David-West

FORMER Minister of Petroleum and Energy, Prof. Tamunoemi David-West, said that Nigerians should expect sharp drop in petrol price from the current N87 to about N40 per litre, saying, “the president-elect, Gen. Mohammed Buhari, will reduce the fuel pump price to N40 per litre.”

In Senegal, 3 pieces of pepper is 100 CFA.

100 CFA = N260

That pepper there should be between 3000 to 4000 CFA, which translates to N7500 to N10,000

Never seen a lazy country like this before!

Terribly lazy people!

They have refused to farm, they rather import GMO and be using scale to weigh it.
That's a beautiful opportunity especially if there's no much bottle neck in exporting pepper to Senegal

Food prices are coming down. I saw a bag of big bull rice that I bought close to a 100k for a couple of months ago for 59k. I wash shocked
Are you even more shocked that the same bag of rice was 9k in 2015 when minimum wage was 18k?

Why do you think that everything has become worse since Tinubu made his expired soldier president in 2015 huh

thisweekng:
The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Chief Olawale Edun has said the last time Nigeria’s economy looked stable was about a decade ago.

He made this statement during his maiden press conference as Minister of Finance where he outlined President Bola Tinubu’s vision, agenda and strategy for the economy.

He said, “I think as we all know, we are not where we should be. The economy is barely growing above the rate of population growth.

“But it was not always so, and I think in trying to look at the way forward, if we now have a situation of slow growth, double-digit inflation, weak/depreciating exchange rate, as well as security concerns that are resulting in an economy that is not growing and not taking Nigerians out of poverty.

“If we think back to the last time when the economy was stable- when it was growing, when inflation was low, and the interest rate was affordable, that period was about a decade ago. Growth was about 6% in 2013 and 2014.”

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.

This news is unnecessary. If it was cheap tomatoes that can be understandable. But pepper that you only need little to add to food.

5k or 500 naira?

I don't use pepper much. They are boosted or GMO (would even find black seeds inside).

Just use small or it would change your digestive system.

You can buy them and send to lokoja Itakpe Train Station with less than 5k. Then book a train for 5k and spend extra 1500k for the load. That's 11,500.

Train will take u straight to Warri or Abraka. Then get any keke to take it to ur location

Most yes, but a few like me don't. And rodo is a minor when it comes to saying food is getting cheaper. Why not use yam, potato, Palm oil, veggies, the almighty eggs that will actually add nutrients especially to young kids as example.

Carrots can be preserved - all vegetables. You just don't have the preservation system. I remember eating a two months old slice of watermelon at a time. Kept fresh. Could stay longer than that.

I don’t know about dried tomatoes. I am used to this “ 🍅 specie of tomatoes”. When next I visit the market, I’d ask about dried tomatoes.

Infact i plan on buying and sending them to my sisters in Warri.

This will just blow their head, metaphorically.

They like cheap things like this. Even though they can afford higher price, they will still prefer the cheap one. Wetin i dey talk sef, "who nor lyk beta thing? "

Anyways, buy a sack and ship to Delta State and make a huge profit, but that is not my field. I will feel terrible if i enter that type of stress.

So i advise any one seeing this with the mindset of doing a business, to explore this opportunity. Go to Abuja and buy. You can even get someone to sell a full sack for less than 8K.
Brother how you take know? Na Warri I dey like this.

That's a great bargain. Research how to dehydrate your bounty in the sun or machine and grind and turn into spice granules. You have enough there in the pic to last for many months. Those peppers also freeze well. Enjoy Mr. Chef.👨🏾‍🍳👩🏽‍🍳
