Why Are Healthy Food More Expensive Than 'junk Food"? by BedLam: 9:37pm On Jul 30, 2014 |
It's not like much energy or money were spent on producing this healthy food. Junk food tend to have more A bottle of Eva water is sold for 100#. 50CL coke is sold for 70#, but why? (note, water is natural, not much production is needed except purification) At a regular "bukka", vegetable soup is expensive than egusi but egusi is more expensive in the market. Meat is cheaper than fish. Wheat bread is expensive than white bread. Ofada rice is also expensive than "normal" rice. (cooked). 5 Likes |

lt a blanket assumption to think so. Even in Lagos u can buy rich vegetables such as cabbage, carrots, cucumber etc @ a cheaper price at Mile 12 market. When u prepare & present them nicely, one will get the impression that it costs an arm & a leg! 1 Like |

I don't quite agree with u . I use only 1k to prepare a healthy meal that last me for a week. Let me break it down below Half kilo of titus fish 300naira Red oil. 30naira Pepper. 30naira Stock fish. 50naira Achi igbo condement. 50naira Crafish. 50naira Iru. 20naira Fufu. 200naira Bitter leave from my garden Magi. 20naira Total. 750naira When I serve you this meal u will leak ur hands and wish it never ended. Compare to when I visit mr bigs I will spend more than 1k and it will finish immediately and as the name goes it doesn't boast ur immunity. If you don't want ebola to affect u kindly stick to the meal above and don't always wash away all the bitterness in biterleaf 3 Likes |

For the house, would you mind telling us prospects about the country especially when it comes to Jobs for foreigners(nigerians). I have read a few about the countrys prospects but been that you are on the ground,what can you say about life in kenya as a Nigerian,Especially when it comes to jobs, studies n maybe investing there as some people would like to know. I am just curious as I just like to study countries around the world. Hope you reply. |

@360command, as per job, not easy for foreigners except for exceptional skills.Most Nigerians here are into business as Nigerians (lgbos) control d hair extension/attachment biz here as they import weekly frm Lagos to Nairobi alongside spare parts. |
