The only alternative that comes close is tin tomatoes

Instead of tomatoes rice. Just cook concoction rice like red oil rice

Another good one is green vegetable and rice.

Nothing is cheap now so don’t expect any alternatives to be cheap

Ridiculous, there's no substitute for tomatoes. I love Tinubu for fulfilling some of his campaign promises and honestly I think he's doing very well. He said GARRI, BEANS and DODO. He's started with garri, beans will follow, then dodo. Be patient, for tomatoes to have gone into extinction, that's other unpublicized promises fulfilled ahead of time

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

These are diff things you can pair with white rice.
Common people,in this age and time, you are still sticking to tomato this, tomato that. Shuu

AirBay:


And in 60-100days you go still dy find immediate solutions. Typical Nigeria thinking... Lazy south people, how south go dy import tomato from North.....baffles me.

stop reasoning like a programmed roBOT, if you plant tomato today no be something you go dey chop before harvest, besides how many people get space to plant or farm in a city like lagos.
Even when you plant these things they don't meet your personal demand except you do big or have spare land to farm ... besides farming as some keys, if you don't know it you won't get desired results.

This is not an exercise to discourage people but it is better to prepare people's mind

Three alternatives to pepper loading.....

That is when Yoruba people will stage the mother of all protests. Just make pepper scarce or expensive.

You can make stew w/o tomatoes.

Honestly, don't know why the fuss about tomato.
I grew up eating white rice without tomatoes, still does. When all the vegetables are there in the farm begging to be eaten. One can eat white rice with peppersoup water, ofe akwu, egwusi soup, any vegetable soup. Any groundnut soup, pair with coconut curry.
The curry we use to make stew can be used to make Indian curry( fastest and very easy yet so tasteful. Accepted all over, add small coconut cream and yummy)
I am not even going towards these east Asian countries. They consume white rice everyday so they have so many ways to enjoy it.
Not forgetting fried rice abi that one need tomatoes too.
Nigerian govt should engage nutritionists to plan national meals and cuisines that is balanced so we can start eating healthy. That's the most important thing not tomatoe this or that.

You cited Lagos as an example lol. How many states are in South West again? Tons of people have spaces to farm, you don't need a big farm to plant tomato

An adage says if you want to eat the honey inside the rock, you should stop checking the sharp end of the axe. If you plan to use a car next year, won't you start saving? You may even Trek some places in order to save quickly.

If you don't eat tomato in 3months, will the person die? No. there are substitues e.g. canned tomato. There are a lot of southwestern and eastern soups that does not need tomato as well.

In three months you can get buckets, buy loamy soil, plant tomato and get fruits. Yes, it may not meet your personal demands but it will reduce the amount of money you spend in buying 1 tomato fruit which is now #100 I believe. By the time it gets to #200 per one, everyone will get sense.

SOME NIGERIANS ARE INDEED LAZY IN THEIR THINKING,COMMON TO PLANT TOMATOES IN YA BACKYARDS THAT GROWS IN 7WEEKS THEY CANT keep waiting for PTinubu to plant tomatoes and okra for you na.

Proud of what abeg?

Does it also cost time and energy to cook your rice before you eat ?

if it will take 100-days to produce tomato then it should be one of the cheapest item in the market ....

And let me tell you , there will never be an immediate solution to a continuous problem . A problem you as a citizen are not ready or willing to address from the root .

No deh play o.

i don tell you .

reddingtonblack:


it will cost time, if you plant a tomatoe today it won't germimate over night ...

Generally tomato takes 60 to 100days to germinate, by that time tomato price for don crash down

we are talking immediate solutions or alternative .. for me igbo soup can take over

Na govt suppose plant those for you ?

wake up o !

Matheusmartin:
..
Maybe we go still plant rice,beans, yam and all other food stuff

Yes i agree with you .

One thing is willingness and the other is Laziness , the problem here in Nigeria is not the economy but the citizens , To be honest everybody Lazy including myself .
Those that has the space are still looking for what is not lost , thereby abandoning their responsibility . I left PH b4 this thing gets to this stage cos i saw it coming ..... Agriculture has money if properly managed but everybody want to live in the city.

Planning is winning Nigeria is not that Bad.

bnbash:
It is not every body that have time for planting things like these and also some people do not have the space for that because some rented houses do not have any extra spaces for such
