You guys are getting something wrong

You are right north supply most of the foods


But don't forget south Nigeria is not a barren or famine


By any chance the north think they are the alpha and omega and make the South go into farming, it is over for the north


Correction it is the middle belt not north

And you think middle belt isn't part of north? grin, or have you fallen for the propaganda?

All the yam consume in PH are brought in from benue state
They'll still make their money, if you sell at a price a little less than the general price you will sell yours faster. You can even contact white collar working class people and be selling to them

God did not do this bro, please take God out of this. All is it God that allow the white men to come all the way from Europe and destroy our history and way of life and also enslave us till today. So it was that used Lugard to amalgamate the the south and the north for the economic benefit of Britain. So God has been responsibly for the death, poverty, tears, bloodshed this union has brought to the people since 1914
yes GOD has done it all

Experiencenaija:
This is only possible at the largest yam market in West Africa located in Nigeria called "Zaki Biam Yam Market". The Zaki Biam market is believed to be the largest yam market in Nigeria and perhaps Africa, it accounts for 70% of yam cultivated in Nigeria. Buyers from other African countries patronize the market due to the ridiculous prices at which you can purchase yams in bulk.

To know more about the market, watch this:

Zaki Biam Yam market is located in which state?

You might have a point here. That's why Bafra needs to be completely excised from the wickedness called Nigeria
Biafra is the main and one of the axis of evil in the country. its the pivotal point. thats why GOD allowed that civil war to take place there. thats judgement from God

Almost all unoccupied land in the North are either farms or grazing land. You don't have land capacity to meet your need. The whole Nigeria nation is struggling to be food sufficient despite lots of potential. Imagine only rice importation was banned and the whole nation is shouting foul.

Arbitrary pricing is the bane of that business. Lack of standard measurement. You go use your Lagos sense and get there, you will think you got a good deal only for the retailers that come to buy in Mile 12 to price your yam like you got it free from Zaki Ibiam.


My advice for a new person going into commodity trading is avoid yam totally unless you plan on doing the retailing yourself. Potatoes is good because it's sold in sack. But concentrate on mainly grains because of the standard of measurement that is already part of the business.

As a new person never sell on credit. Many of these market women are chronic debtors. They can play the game very well. Almost 100k is still with some of the people I supplied yam about 5years ago. Every day story.

The children of God will suffer persecution for a while but in the end they will have victory. The enemy will turn against themselves and it's already happening. Shedding innocent blood comes with very dire consequences. Those who murdered innocent Biafrans have turned against themselves and are expected to finish off themselves before the land can be appeased.

I will be handling the retailing myself, for sure. Or possibly, outsource it to my mum to handle. She will surely deliver. I have no intention to sell to those market women. It will be a retailer-consumer thingy. I can't deal with debts. I may just run mad. I know someone who sells yams close to where I worship. Interestingly, I have been able to garner a few lessons of the business from him, so I may pass the hurdle.
