Amid the ongoing hardship and high cost of living in the country, the Presidency has advised Nigerians to stop buying food items such as pepper and tomatoes at supermarkets.

Tope Fasua, the Special Adviser on Economic Affairs in the office of the vice president gave the admonition after doing a market survey at Utako Market in Abuja at the weekend.

He said Nigerians should stop complaining of high prices on social media and go to local markets to but their food items.

Posting the pictures on his Facebook page, Fasua wrote "Market survey 29.06.24.
Utako Market. Small portion of tomatoes N1500. Pepper 500. Plastic basket of like 5kg of tomatoes 11k. Thigh to leg of a goat (1 quarter) - 9k. 2kg of tozo beef N8500. Veggies N200 per portion".

"Hey guys, get off social media sometimes and go to Market. If you are lazy to go they'll be cheating you and social media panic will almost give you hypertension".

"Naija is not dying. Don't be buying tomatoes at supermarket and peppers at hotels. The roving motor park economist".

Commenting on Fasua's post, Ejimadu Lucky wrote "Oga asked the sellers how much they sold those items 13 months ago. So disgusting. I'm not surprised at such indignity.

You used to be an activist when things were far better but today at peak of corruption and economic degeneration you could come up with this analysis. It's a shame how little money gets the better of Nigerians".

Also commenting, Adeshina Samson wrote "The prices are going down now. You should have done this survey a month ago and see.

Why do you choose Abuja?. Go to Ilorin market and other city to do this survey. People are not smiling. People are not finding it easy to survive. The truth needs to be told to the president. Kenya protest will be a play. One day nah One day".

There is a serious food crisis in this country like has never been seen since war torn Biafra.Tell your principals the real truth ... people are in pain ; so much money fetching so little.
A family of four can't cook a decent meal that they can eat twice with # 15k ; that's like 50% of minimum wage.

Declare a state of emergency on food now across borders; crash food related taxes by ,at least; 50% . Open the land borders and lets import without restrain staples that we aren't yet fully sufficient on .

All our staples in Nigeria; rice, beans, gaari, bread, fufu, elubo, yam, tomato has all increased in price by over 200% to say the least.

A two digit increase in price of staples in Europe/ America will cause a mass action that will bring down even the best & strongest government. Save Our Souls".

Time to implode is getting close. Una go kill everybody.

😁😁🤣🤣🤣

Oga, where should we buy periwinkle?

Who dey buy tomatoes for supermarket. This guy must be on sumtin strong

This one is spicy and dull.

I can't even remember the last time I stepped my foot into a super market let alone going in-there to buy ordinary tomatoes which I can easily get from my neighbors here......

These people are disconnected from reality.

This one is disconnected from reality.

Seems this Fasua is that helinues moniker

Sometimes common sense is not common. Tope Fasua thinks everyone is sycophant like him.

This mumu appointee means nigerians should use their 30k wage to travel to village and go there to snap food or what?
These are the mumsus telling those in power all is perfectly well and it is just opposition elements crying of hunger to wipe up sentiment.

Funny how many people buys fresh tomatoes from the supermarket.
The way he sounds I doubt he even visited the local market. he only visited supermarket and ran to the media shamelessly to defend failure.

The Tinubu administration is totally disconnected from reality

A shameful press statement. The percentage of Nigerians buying tomatoes at the supermarket can't even be up to 5% of the total population. Some of the tomatoes I see in supermarkets are even imported.


If am in Tinubu's shoe, I will remove who said this

Just negodu

Craze man

Make Ogun kee am

It is obvious that whenever a sensible and right thinking person gets political appointment, he loses all sense of reasoning. It is as if they bought over their brains and are left to start reasoning with their anus.
The day that revolt will break out in this country, Nigerians should track out and deal with these useless appointees that keep insulting the masses with senseless gibberish

The person spewing this trash is brainless. How many supermarkets even have tomatoes these days?

Who even patronise supermarkets abi them don swear for this useless FG ni?

That same beef of 2Kg he bought for 4000 Naira used to cost less than 2000 Naira before your paymaster came in as president.

Bunch of insensitive overfed people mocking others because they can feed off the country’s wealth.

What kind of leaders do we have in Nigeria?🧐

YOU ARE D ONES BUYING TOMATOES FROM SUPERMARKET,YOU RUNING OUR NATIONAL RESOURCES

Sheuns:

Even beef of 2kg will not cost 4k. By the way when did cow sellers start using weights

No mind the guy. Ever since I don wise I never see meat sellers in the market using scales.

Happy Slaves will agree to this swiftly







We should also visit Kazim by the roadside to help us fabricate new Airbus for Tinubu na

Government of the agberos by the agberos.

Oh you think that you are still at the motor park where you can just open mouth wa and be spewing nonsense.

This idiot doesn't know that what he vomits right now could have a huge impact on the nation.

How did he arrive at that conclusion to be saying these things. Was any study or detailed intelligence gathering carried out inorder to give credence to this statement.

Just like the tigernut causes cholera idiot the last time. Incompetence from top to bottom.

You can't elect a tout and dunce as president and expect him to make good appointments into his cabinet. Rather he will select dunces/agberos like himself to run the government with him evidence is how they have run this country aground.

This is just so bad from fg.

Well, I doubt if he will do it, like they say a fruit doesn't fall far from the tree... We warned you guys about this man called Tinubu, you guys never listened...

Yooruba people eeeeeh
