Fuckyoumod:
what's the meaning of Illorin?

That locally, conquered and depraved place is what you want to use as a yardstick to measure cost of food in Nigeria, Lagos, Port Harcourt, Abuja, Bayelsa.

Are you ok?

Jayce242:
Everyday I keep people saying look at Libya after America invaded it. They have no idea Libya is heaven compared to Nigeria. Cost of living is extremely cheap in Libya.

Edplug:
In the same in Ilorin where price of things varies significantly and many people buy things at expensive prices?

How much do most consumers buy fresh whole chicken from retailers?

May be you should do a little research yourself before rushing to call someone a liar.

Mrshape:
7000 to 7500 in Benin

How do you people even think with your brain sef?
This question ❓ baffles me like kilode!

Nigerian kilo of chicken still remains one of the most expensive in the world due to Bulaba's wuru-wuru economic policies and you are here yapping apata.

rickpat:
Wrong info....1kg is 6k in my area..that's about $4

Evicsholar:
If you reason this way, then the future of Nigeria is not promising with voters like you. Why should a chicken be almost the same price in Nigeria like the US?

Gradually, a lot of commodities Nigerians in diaspora like to source from Nigeria due to cost now is now comparable to the price it can be obtained abroad. Rather than Nigerians to be alarmed on the level of inflation they are experiencing, you are picking political sides

Lithiumite:
What exactly is your point,do you want to compare how much chicken is produced in the US as against over here,how much chicken is consumed in the US as against here.......for us to have it cheaper over here despite all the subsidies the US govt payys it's farmers is a major achievement worthy of applause......the pun was intended at the op who was trying to shame Nigeria not knowing he is the real clown.

Evicsholar:
What stops your government from providing subsidy on food? Food should not be luxury, it's a basic human need! Which animal protein can the average poor man afford?
Like I mentioned earlier, it's not only about chicken. The current costs of items is almost comparable with abroad prices so why the need to buy from Nigeria and that's part of what has affected chicken prices. Rather than trying to justify those prices, you deserve better from your government, whether it is Bihari or Tinubu or Obi in power. Other countries that don't have the UuS population and production scale still have food affordable or the common man

Amwitty:
I sell for 5500 fresh from my farm

ahmedio2017:
You are a liar,
1kg of chicken is not even up to 6k in Ilorin here is around 5k which is not even up to $4....

Thonee:
I guess that ur Ilorin is not in Nigeria or maybe you bought a vulture cos here in Lagos, it is 6k.

Frozen chicken and turkey were very cheap many years ago. The price began to rise after Obasanjo imposed ban on importation of poultry products. If the ban is lifted today, the price will surely drop; just as it happened with rice.

adioolayi:
..and farmers are still shouting about importation of corn, major constituent of chicken feeds.

Government should open the boarder for Importation of feeds, if cost of feeds locally is too expensive.so that the cost of chicken can come down.
It's too expensive

RichBoy247:
.
Opening of borders is the immediate solution

FreeStuffsNG:
Even though your data is inaccurate, do you want Nigerian government to subsidize the cost of chicken like the US and others too?

The US doesn't subsidize electricity o

Angelfrost:
I don't even get why food remains so expensive in a nation where the minimum wage is practically among the lowest on Earth...!

Seems average Nigerians are destined to suffer for life.

Lithiumite:
Nigeria has never had any comparative advantage in chicken production, we have never prided ourselves as major poultry producer......Nigerians still get their protein sources anyhow they deem fit........food is far cheaper here than it is over there......you need to lampoon the alarmist op who would rather make us believe chicken is most expensive in Nigeria when in fact it isn't......thats misinformation and deliberately done to achieve an objective.

Below is a list of how much 1kg fresh whole chicken cost in other countries vs the cost in Nigeria.



Source

Insight: Despite having the lowest minimum wage among these nations, Nigeria has the highest cost of chicken—more than double the price in Thailand and significantly higher than in the USA.

Do you still think it's cheaper to live in Nigeria?

Edplug:
Why can't we make comparison? The original post stated this was for fresh whole chicken.
