If you have soil at your back yard , if you have animal dung , and if you're patient enough for like 90days

Then do the following:::

Plant tomatoe in your Backyard and stop complaining.

Be innovative for chikes sake.

In the meantime buy Tomatoe paste, cook less of stew (My Yoruba Bros and sis this might be complicated but not impossible)
Learn how to cook soups that goes with rice , and you won't feel the scarcity at all.

P.S
It's not a law that most things you cook must have tomatoes.

Remain blessed

na tomato paste sure pass...I jes hope they won't reduce quality and quantity and increase price

Na Igbo people go feel am pass. Yorubas can cook stew without tomatoes, even paste sef no go dey. Put ata gbige or ata rodo plus lots of Alubosa (onions) plus shombo pepper (optional) obe ata or stew don ready. I have cooked stew so many times without tomatoes.
I remembered what one of my friends (oyin) told me some years back, "if Nigeria begin import pepper, na Yoruba people chop our pepper finish" We yorubas can eat pepper for the world.

But why should there be scarcity in the first place. I am ridiculously bewildered and totally flabbergasted that a nation with great mineral resources and good soil be it in the North or South be suffering from scarcity of Solanum lycopersicum aka Red Ball , aka Tomatoes

Why can't made Nigerians, business moguls focus on agriculture. There are three main things that humans have been living on and will continue living on, no matter how many we circulate the sun, that is FOOD, Shelter and Clothing.
I'm disappointed

What you said was the truth. Nigerians like complaining but make no effort to help themselves....only a few

Medieval Egypt Bro... This shouldn't occur. Nigerians love lazy money, we love buying and selling. Bank will give you loan if you are a car dealer faster than if you're into agriculture. Nigerians don't like producing, we love important and export and that is one of the major reasons the naira is devalued from day to day.
