Even iru(locust beans), is now more expensive. The one we usually buy for #50 is now sold for #100. Is iru too imported

I taya o

Iru sellers have to sell at a price to be able to afford other things.

What I like about politics in Nigeria is that after selling votes for 3 cups of rice and N1,000, the citizens will have 4 years to live the consequences. Even the folks with brooms are also scratching their heads. Of all people in Nigeria, you were given two of the most uninspiring fellows to choose from.

GEJ was a colossal failure in all leadership positions that providence provided him until OBJ picked him as a goon and Nigerians wanted to force heroism down his throat. GEJ is even confused that he could be referred to as a hero.

Buhari was a figured head for the North. Tunde Idiagbon was the de facto president and the one who held the aces. Buhari's ascension into the Presidency is an indictment of educated Nigerians. In other words, no progress was made all these years that Nigeria had to reset to square one.

Then again, na person river see im leg e dey swallow. Nigeria is the least of my worries. If you see me in Nigeria any time soon, stone me. I guess the cups of rice and N1000 don finish. Poverty has made otherwise knowledgeable Nigerians to think like nincompoops. When that Osun guy was building the largest drum in the world (smh), they showered encomium on him. Now he cannot pay salaries and Osunites are looking for sympathy. Cry me a river.

I had been aware that the prices of everything had gone up. Aware in the abstract sense of it.

The stark reality of the unfortunate situation hit me hard on Friday 6 May in the year of our Lord 2016, at exactly 1:26pm when I went out for lunch break (breakfast actually cos it was more first meal of the day which obviously heightened my aggravation and sense of overwhelming doom).

That I Nnaemeka ordered for my usual plate of Akpu with Egusi and Oha but lo and behold, what was brought before me was food, the quantity which should be fitting for the size of the person on the left hand side in my DP, the gods bear me witness. I was shocked to the marrows. I had to ask the lady (just to be sure), if the food was meant for me. She replied in the affirmative. I am not one to engage myself in public displays of uncouth aggravation, so I swallowed my humble pride together with my discontent and accompanied them with the few morsels of food presented to me.

People, I can swear that those morsels of akpu felt so alone, tiny and abandoned in my tummy, that they probably shed tears of sorrow and wailed their fate of insufficiency.

The worst was however yet to come. As I prepared the last few lumps to swallow, I felt a craving, an urge, a need I hitherto thought I would never demand again.

I HAD TO ORDER FOR A SECOND ROUND! cry

O hunger! Where art thy sting?! This was something I'd last done since 2013 because over time, my stomach had come to accept fewer quantities of food before I get the feeling of fullness.

But Buhari! O Buhari! cry This administration has seen to the drastic reduction in the quantity of Akpu served at restaurants. An all time low quantity last experienced 3 years ago! Where then lies the hope of the common man? Where my people?!

If Nnaemeka Nwa Akanwa can no longer be assured his daily quantity of fufu. There my people lies my grouse. That is where it pinches me the most. I rest my case.

Lwkmd! I can't stop laughing. I share ur pain bro. Hahahahahaha!!

I would rather blame gullible and unpatriotic Nigerians who deprived joy in unleashing suffering on fellow citizens in the disguise of making more money. They would always lash on situation to exploit Nigerians.
And it baffles me why economic theories doesn't work here, prices of goods hardly fall even when demand is low

For the first time in my adult life as a woman, i didnt cook this weekend

Not because i couldnt afford to, but because I am royally pissed at having to cough out 2k ( as against 600)to buy tomatoes and peppers to cook.

Yeah, 2k for peppers and tomatoes because i like different tastes of soup, fish, veggies, beef or chicken.

All those lazy bums and girls who come to raid my kitchen were dissapointed today and they were like: Mama Tee, ebi mpa awon boys now and i was like: una miss road today and to the sai Babaist among them, i simply chanted: Sai Baba in action

You get the drift?
. Eeya! So how u gon survive the weekend? Buka tins I guess?

My dear, I'm seriously contemplating the idea. Even those take away wraps sold at the market have also been affected in the cost cutting strategy. Their sizes have shrunk also. Why evils?! Why? angry

Cup of Ogbono seed is now N700

Paint of Garri is now 500.

I don't understand why people blame traders for hiking prices of their goods.

These same traders are affected by the increment of prices of other goods and services in the country, so in other to keep up, they have to increase the prices of their goods even if they harvested it from their backyard. Is just simple eco.

What bothered me most is that some commodities price still remains d same..i wonder why the price of pure water should increase and d price of plastic water(in traffic) remain d same(#50), price of gala remains d same(#50) while dat of biscuit increased,i still buy aa bottle of goldberg,trophy beer for #200.... don't u see dat we people are the ones suffering ourself. Cos for what reason should small envelope should be sold for #40 in my area and photocopy for #20 even when there is light,while salary remains d same and not even been paid as when due... only God will help us in dis country

Hello Nairalander,it seems we Nigerians are so comfortable with any situation we find ourselves.I keep asking myself if I'm the only one affected by the present inflation.Price of almost everything has increased by at least 50% or more.
I can't see any reason why some items like biscuit,plastic buckets,toothpaste,purewater,bic shaving stick e.t.c should increase in price,these are items we don't import.

Could it be that we are just the architect of our own problem.

Abeg let's compare price of items state by state,I'm sure some people are taking undue advantage of the present situation.

chei see Nigerian education in action. wheat sugar oil (ingredients of biscuit bros ),how many plastic do you produce locally. even fuel is imported. only cement and cassava and poultry is locally produced.read more, talk less
