Let them go and eat their live stocks at home. Our greediness will one day bring down our country if we don't caution ourselves.

Christmas is a season of love but our traders will always make it a season of agony. Imagine selling a chicken for 30-45K, this are normal chicken of 10-15K but because it is Christmas season, everyone want to cash out.
But Dele said he was targeting 15k for his broiler and is prepared to sell for 12k. So how is greed responsible for his predicament?

Have you gone to check how much feed is sold currently? Hold your government responsible ,not these guys trying to survive. That space you will be surprised they paid too for it,and you want them to give you the birds for free.. Go do your own poultry,and share it to people for free when it's festive period

It’s not that people are not getting those things; rather, many people are now into backyard farming. In my area, almost everyone rears chickens for Christmas and New Year.

Can you please let us know how the greediness of these struggling traders is more than what Tinubu has done in Lagos for 26 years of raising the TAX burden on the masses to grow IGR and budget 100 times but failed to increase the number of government workers equally to improve services and utilities likewise?

Is this not what he has been doing in Abuja for the last two years of:

- $84 billion subsidy savings
- increased revenue target met in August

while borrowing and taking more loans than PDP huh

The eyesore on Bourdillon Road
2nd January 2025

Beyond his neighbours, there is something about the sight of people hanging around a president’s residence that does not speak well of his leadership capabilities. Maybe no one has nudged him to see it, but the impression that spectacle on Bourdillon Road generates is that Tinubu enjoys the sight of suffering humans and thrives in—and through— their poverty.

If all these years, impoverished people hang around you and you remain comfortable enough to keep them just so they can be handed tokens of your large heart, then it means you have a pro-poverty mindset. Such a frame of mind is oriented toward cultivating poverty rather than stimulating abundance.

That is why he could unproblematically relate the story of his “friend” who went from using five Rolls Royce to a far-less valued car and not consider the import of the nonsense he was saying. That spurious account was an indication that this is a man for whom poverty—of others, not himself—is an ideal.

It's the economy. It's what is responsible for the low sales and patronage. When things pick up we will see great patronage. It's only a season...we will outlive this time by the grace of God.

Things are hard all over
How did we allow these wicked propagandist liars of APC scam us with their change messiah in 2015 when he was Tinubu's expired soldier in 2011?

Why did we let them replace PDP deregulation and privatisation prosperity policies with their almajiri palliative sharing, extreme poverty inducing progreThief policies a decade ago?

What works are we all doing to get PDP prosperity politicians back in Aso Rock 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.”
Private sector to drive the economy

Electricity is subsidsied for the majority, as is education.

As for tax, considering our tax to gdp is 13.8%...lower than NIger Republic, and considering oil prices are scheduled to keep falling for the next several years, and considering no diversificaiton of the economy(the fault of tinubu, and buhari since they promised it), it's either tax, or government would borrow far far more than they are dreaming of right now.

The scary thing for next year is that if we fight corruption, we still have a very scanty budget that can give every nigerian less than 300000 for the year.

Agents of the demon living in Abuja rock!

They are here as usual to push the blame on the victim.

So they should sell lesser than they purchased...do you know how much a bag of feed for birds cost? Why not tell your Oga to improve the economy...why not tell your governors to pay salaries owed... You go just jump into conclusions without reading.

Re: Traders Lament Low Patronage Of Poultry, Foodstuffs In Abuja by Natbrowny: 9:22am On Dec 24, 2025
Over here where i live.

Its like that every season. People you normally overrate and underrate get cages.

More than half the population have 2 to 3 or more broilers in their backyards they rear for meat. Including tenants, yes tenants keep birds too. As far say they are caged n clean. Landlord aint saying shit

To make it all crazy. Gee boiz wey suppose buy chicken sef don buy cage dey rear broilers

U'll see gboiz with their mad ass tattoos and lexuses n venzas walk up and say i need 13 broilers with 3bags of feeds. Make i raise dem grow share for family and chop d rest

Local govt chairman n his officers including gateman all have birds in their houses. Some get gifted birds during festive Christmas, sallah and Jan 1. Na few go buy when festive come. Happens every freaking year in and out.

No be so last year i raise like 8 Broiler and 4 local Turkey for like 10 month average spending on feed on all them per month is around 50k naira just for 2 bags of feed.. Though it for personal use... End up spending much on feeding them alone... Now compare to commercial raising of chicken now with the price of feeds high now

The only thing that can bring the price down is the feed... Around 2018 and co.. A bag of 25kg finisher is around 4k naira fast forward to today you will buy the same as high as 27k

I told someone that what happened last year with food stuff and chicken will not happen this year and here we are.
8 out of 10 persons are now into farming and poultry

Na so.
Let me see how much they will raise from taxing an impoverished people.

Or are people not the ones you folks are targeting to tax. Are robots going to pay or foreigners?

The revenues you have collected via inflation, the savings you have made via subsidies you have withdrawn over the last two years.

YOU HAVE WASTED IT ALL.

Instead of using the first fruits of reforms to feed the goose that lays the golden egg, you waste it all on elitist projects that have zero, zero economic impact. That neither create jobs or establish businesses enmasse.

Now the chickens have returned to roost. You want to reap from where you have not sowed, but rather ravaged.

Let me see how much tax you folks will be able to raise.

Do you know how much it costs to raise farm animals in this country? You support your god to increase the prices of everything, but get angry when traders adjust to meet up with the evil in the land.

On the 6th of December, someone in my neighborhood here in Abuja had chickens for sale.

She assumed that because it was December, prices would skyrocket.

I asked how much per chicken. She said ₦20,000 fixed for one chicken.

If I wanted her to keep it till Christmas Day, I would add ₦4,000 for feed.
With full confidence and shakara.

Total: ₦24,000 non negotiable

As a farmer’s child, I say OK.

Fast forward to the Christmas period now.
The same size of chicken is now selling in the market for ₦13,000 each.

Now she’s the one chasing me up and down because chicken prices have dropped 😂

After feeding the chickens from December 6th to December 24th, she suddenly says the price is “negotiable.”

The same person that was doing shakara at ₦24k is now asking me to pay ₦13k 😂

Reality has entered. Greed showed itself.

After Christmas and New Year, we’ll buy again at ₦8k.
na lie, no matured chicken will go for 13k

Just because it’s a faceless forum doesn’t mean we should lie anyhow

Are you telling us that government delayed salaries to prevent them from buying expensive chicken?

Do not mind that guy. Many of them are irresponsible. Ask him how much it take to raise a chicken and see him talk insanely.

They support their god to increase the prices of everything and tax Nigeria to oblivion, but frown at Nigerians adjusting to survive.
