I think you need to set up at least a ten-man committee to investigate this matter.

Razzness:
I swear, i can't buy any of this onions more than 20 naira here in kano.
Kai! Am not sure i can survive a week in the south.

Me too oh.

Oyerinde16:
Abeg if you de port Harcourt contact me let's do business o... I will supply onions from the north we share the profit...

I dey portharcourt

QuotaSystem:


Hunger and starvation from our food blockade is what really ended the Biafra war. They were starving not laughing.

Don't fool yourself.

u don't get the point. Cassava and yam and plantains are our staple foods. We have those in abundance. Onions and tomatoes are for spicing. we can definitely do without them. I don't understand the creating of threads to complain about circumstances beyond them. So if the northern farmers decided not to bring produce to Rivers again, they won't eat anymore?

Aboks:


Take note we don't farm onions

Anyone can do it. Especially the south parts of Nigeria have good land and water channels.

Is that not why thousands of Eastern children died from kwashiokor during the food blockade?

That question should be for the complainers not producers, and also for those who died of hunger in the civil war despite having all the land to grow their "staple foods" .

No man is an island.

Mylove55:
that is the result of the useless protest

Yet you will reap of the benefits of the protest.

I don't understand your interest with civil war. maybe u think I'm igbo

Chisaedhor:
My people the prices of food stuffs is on the rise in Rivers State. I don't know about other cities.

Look at the Onions my wife bought at Oil Mill Market In Portharcourt for 500 naira today.

On a normal day these onions should cost 50 naira or less.

How is it in your area

This country is doomed, we need help before things goes out of hand

Are igbos not in the south?

I'm using that to underline the fact that no man is an island and you cannot depend solely on what you produce to survive.

When you guys loot a full trailer of yam, goat and tomatoes and even burn down the trailer you did not know it will have repercussion?

Nawa o, things are really expensive there o.

onions is very cost now, 13 to 15 pieces of small onions is sold between 1000 to 1500 naira in lagos. God help us o

Request sir, why have you lost it for whatsapp sir?

NNAMDIII:

Mylove55:

either you're lying or your wife is lying

Not a lie...I bought five of smaller ones for five hundred naira here in sapele delta state,stop accusing someone's wife as a liar

I bought a small paint rubber full of onions for 800...I love the north

Righteousness89:
So each one cost N125!
That's terrible!!
The Common man will be in trouble if things continue this way

So this man can comment on thread normally... A huge surprise from here

We have the money to import what we don't have. And we musn't buy from Northerners.

dasparrow:


It has absolutely nothing to do with that. We are not in onion season. During this time of the year onions are usually expensive. Even overseas, onions are more expensive this time of the year so stop looking for who or what to blame.

It is a combination of different things! You can go back and read the last sentence of my submission. Peace!

Righteousness89:

You supported the unprofessional protest so you all should bear the brunt. Also go and farm, God will not come and put food on your table.

descarado:
When South has refused to farm.

God bless you

Aboks:

Take note we don't farm onions

Why don't we? Can't we or we're too proud and sees farming as dirty work. For your info, we have onions farm especially in some part of SW but not enough

Mylove55:
that is the result of the useless protest

It has been that way even before the so called "useless" protest.

Righteousness89:

Seriously I weep for the common man, if prices of food items keep going up, these common men will soon start robbing the middle class and the wealthy.

descarado:

Who said so?

Onions can be farmed by anybody. We have the perfect weather for it more than the north yet we see it as northern thing. If cold regions like Europe can farm onions, tell me the reason why south shouldn't.

Hunger have not yet started. Everybody want to be a trader or white collar guy.

You've nailed it

Nuttella:

No, not as worse as this.
Trailer loads of foodstuffs couldn't come to South Because of the protests.

Newbiee:
That is the consequences of our actions. God has not United us (North and South) for nothing. But for us to learn how to live together in harmony, in order to benefit from what he has endowed in each of the region's.

Was it not Lord Luggard that joined Northern and Southern Nigeria?

Bros na wetin you know how to do na you dey do well
The knowledge wen those countries dey use for their farm no be simple dig and put the seed
If you no know wetin you dey do even cassava no go produce after you plant am.

Cutehector:
thank you

see those onions when you chop off the top, leave it in water for a few hours and then transfer to a moist damp space away from sunlight for a few days till you see shoots forming.
Plant it in soil afterwards, you should get a cluster of onions in 3 -5 months

Don't you know HungerBad? E no dey respect preacher o. You want make our man fall while preaching?

Mazigabriel:
Yes poo, I live at Owerri too.
I was shocked today when I went to buy beans and palm oil.
beans half paint #800, palm oil ₦600 per one small bottle.
can you just imagine the level of hardship people would pass through in this period

The self inflicted hardship! Let the benefits of the useless protest continue to unfold. Soon those preparing for burial ceremony will have to postpone till further notice because a cow will soon cost 1million down there.
