Good news are so hard to spread in Nigeria. Few months ago the news was everywhere, even it found it way to front page here on nairaland. Four tomatoes goes for as high as N500, no thanks to tuta absoluta also known as tomato ebola that ravaged tomato fields driving prices up astronomically. Here on nairaland some people goes as far as accusing Buhari's government of being responsible for the scarcity.
Fast forward to july, no media not even nairaland has reported that tomatoes are now cheap and readily available in the market thereby giving the notion that good news are not news.

OP have you confirmed it?
All those taking their otherwise useful time to quote me, I guess you do not understand when I say that I would have expected it to be cheaper over here if it goes for #800/basket at the source (North). That's why I asked if the OP has confirmed it.

When threads were opened during the time of tomato Ebola, the OPs tried to substantiate with pics of tomatoes they bought dearly.

My wife got a whole big basket for 2400 naira at mile 12 today. The enemies will have nothing to say now except to look all around to smear this government in total bad light just for the hatred of Buhari.
