Nigerians in the south won't be able to testify....cos all they do is, consume.

Yes, tomato is very cheap now. That about the only thing that reduced in price. Other commodities are sky rocketing

But are increasing rapidly as we speak.

I don't know why some people argue for the sake of argument.

The name of the body dropping the report clearly says "statistics" so what concerns a Statician with "time of the season" or politics ; this is a report they are paid to bring out periodically come rain or shine. Stop being ignorant and politicising everything.
