Awuf dey run belle

That’s why the North is still very poor because they are very comfortable with cheap things

From cheap transportation

To cheap accommodation

To cheap food...

You can’t make it in your comfort zone

If you only you know what the equivalent in terms of 50 pounds, 50 Dollars, 50 Yuan, 50 Euro can do in the contemporary market... You will pity your currency

Mikepenny5:
I lived in Zaria for years was born there also. To be honest in the north things are cheap
Very cheap

You can say that again.... here inside Ahmadu things, particularly tomatoes and pepper are relatively cheap.... with your 100 naira you fit run small stew for three days ( Talking from experience)

Munzy14:
Exactly...And they easily trust people o.


When I was in Jigawa, sometimes if I buy something, and balance become an issue, the won't bother, they will tell me to go and come back next time to settle them.

I just imagine such life here in SE.... Let me hear say shop owner no go lock shop to go look for balance..

Lol, seriously, and the balance fit be like 15naria.

Nawaoo.. 50 naira!
Meehn, this excessively cheap!

Op come to Anambra State, you will see that, you will only buy one onion with that your #50

TheZebra:
I decided to go out today to get a little tomato for the weekend and since i stay alone, i decided to buy both tomato And onion for 50naira. To be honest i was a little disappointed with the quantity, because here in the North I'm used to getting large quantity for the same price. I guess the tomato season is almost over that's why.

What do you think guys? Fair or not for such amount?

don't return back stay there and enjoy your tomato

O ye Bitter soul, try and find comfort in little things like this. cease to hate, because it blackens the soul and ruins the spirit.

Northern people are contented people. most of them say Alhamdulila for the little things they have. do you want them to make things expensive and hard for people to purchase!??

O ye Bitter soul, find comfort in little things!!

[quote author= post=98646699]First of All,
@ [/color] : This is the BEST YEAR of our lives so far!
We never saw that coming in January of 2020.

God is simply a wonderful working God.
He is the way maker and miracle worker
We cannot simply thank him enough.

It's been a tremendous, beautiful and bountiful year for us despite all that went on throughout the world.

GOD IS GREAT!
THANK YOU JESUS!!

Secondly,
(Excerpts from another onion thread).
We are about creating a thread on Onions, to be titled, 'How Onions turned to Gold in Nigeria'!

One of the 4 major things that kept us offline for around 2 months some months ago.
Well before the #Endsars protest started.
It can only be God.

We have to take a back seat to continue making progress for ourselves @[b][/b] in Agricultural sector in our darling country, Nigeria.
Since many years prior now,
it has always been a SUCCESS story.
You can hardly go wrong in agriculture,
With God by your side.

We particularly went into Onions, cucumber and carrots planting just 2 months after the pandemic started last year on some couple of acres of land in some places in the Southern and Western part of the country.
Apart from our Catfish business which has been successful all the way.

We never knew a time like this will come, that onions will turn into gold in our country!
As much as we pray that the prices go down soon,
as we are supplying the major and small markets in our state of residence and neighbouring states, and the demands are still coming all over the country.
It has been hectic, but it has been smiles all the way for us.

We really hope Nigerian youths get something going for themselves personally.

One of the well-respectable member we met here on Nairaland came to see us @[b][/b] after this Lockdown was lifted (She met with Sisi Yewande and other [color=#006600]MANNA team),
She told us that we are the most hopeful people that still believe this Nigeria can be great again.
That we type that phrase in almost all our politics related comments and she must have read that over 10,000 times from us (she wasn't far from the truth tho')
She went further to explain that the phrase 'Nigeria go better' is actually a unique and personal phrase for everyone,
not for Nigeria as a country collectively,
That when you become successful in life (as for us, in a legit way) Nigeria don better for you be dat!
But that Nigeria to be better as in like Dubai, Yankee or other sane countries, that it will take more than 100 years.
We pondered on it for a moment, sighed, shook our heads at the reality and reply her with 'Nigeria will be great again in our lifetime!'
We have remained good friends since then, more like families now.
She issa good soul and has a very good personality.
(Please babes, never quote this whenever you see this biko )

Now back to dis onions matter,
Naija youths, farming is now being made easy compare to the days of our grandfathers and fathers, we have new equipments to do what hoes and cutlass used to do back then.
In as much as things can still improve,
The government are doing some positive things for farmers, continuing from where the previous government stopped.

We noticed that the local farmers we talked with still need more encouragement, they still need things like
Loans and grants for farmers, fertilizers being provided, irrigation, good roads and storage facilities.
We are sending the Ministry of Agriculture letters and messages concerning how farming can be more encouraged among Youths (Youths that are ready to roll up their sleeves and work and not some lazy ones waiting for fraud monies from an old white lady abroad, money they end up wasting in clubs and on some codedR babes!)

With some educational background and a lot of research,
Going into farming has been a huge blessings.
No time is too late guys.
This is where street credibility and education goes hand in hand.
Learning is a continuous process, we are still learning each day.
Sure all of us cannot be farmers, or entrepreneurs,
we still need some to work at the offices.
But with a population of 200 million people with the youth around the half of that population.
Entrepreneurship/Farming will make you successful and take care of yourself and your families with peace of mind.
You being educated and sophisticated and being an agile youth will make this even work better for you and sure,
it will be interesting every day,
which makes you have fun as you make your money.
Sure, you can employ people working for you, something we started with, but you won't know when you will actually joined those guys to start planting and doing what you see them doing.
It's that fun.
Nigeria youths, take charge of your future,
#WeDidOurPart

Modify : Just came across this 2 threads below from members here.
Hell nooo !!
This should be the markets that solely get their supplies from the Northern part of Nigeria, so when any issue happened just like the aftermath of the protest, things will be more expensive cos their trucks cannot move freely like before.
Imagine if we have lots and lots of farmers and farmlands at PH, Onions won't be so expensive as this
@ [color=#006600][/color] , we don't sell our onions this expensive, mba!
This is too ridiculous in prices.
We love God first before we became business women and men, so we will never read anyone off blindly.

We Rise!

It's small compared to the norm for such price. But guess it's ok still.

@TheZebra, can you please help me with the direction to Zaria(Ahmadu Bello University) from Kaduna

dokyOloye:
If that 'modest' lifestyle was working for them,the whole of the north wouldn't be a killing field as is currently.
Tell me which contented man that would prefer to live in the bush from Jan to December, year to year in the name of boko,bandit, herdsmen,kidnappers etc

If you say so, what abt the militants that stays in the creeks for days unpon days, running into months in the ND area of Nigeria.
Abeg u nor get valid point.
Leave the northern alone with their life style, it their way & they are comfortable with it, you can't change it Bro.

Oga.. I served in the North as a corps member, I saw people making millions from just harvesting maize in one planting season. Only maize ok, am not even including ginger, onions, tomatoes and the rest. Those people are stinkingly rich, they just don't flaunt it. Funny enough, one of the best rice farmer in the community I served doesn't even own a car, only bike. And his house is nothing to be compared with most people in other parts of the country, but the money that man makes can afford a world class building, change remain. You all should stop using physical appearance to validate wealth and riches, no be everybody like to show body.

viyon02:
yeah you wouldn't believe they want you to believe they are shit with their out look, how I wish you know

If they like let them make millions per day, the value of money is what money can buy.

These folks don't eat good food

They live and look like stray dogs

They are disgusting generally disgusting.

u are a big fool, wealth is not about money but value


there are many people who are richer than dangote in terms of cash, but dangote has a lot of investment and asset with lot of value


if u go to that country called Zimbabwe the poorest person there is a trillionaire, but 50trillon in Zimbabwe can not buy those tomatos in Nigeria, why?....because Zimbabwe money do not have value




The reason why Nigeria economy is bad is because of the high cost of living, the high cost is because of the rise of dollar and fall of naira and this make the naira loss value



smart people will see this thread and say "wow, tomato's is cheap in the north, let me start tomato's business and import them to the south to sell and make alot of profit" that is how smart people think



but foolish person like u will come and be commenting nonsense





Note: do not mention me, I do not reply kids

U have a point that is the reason those bandits always kidnap them because they believe they are rich and they are truly rich. i also stay in the middle belt princely Niger state during yam harvesting period it will take weeks for about 30 people to finish harvesting one man farm from morning to evening. Do u know that one man can harvest more than one trailer of yam from just one farming season only yam.
