Where Did Yam Go? by Pastoshizzy(m): 5:49pm On Jul 18 |
I remember the good times in this country. Days of kobo (coins). Even as a Lagosian there was no time of the year we didn't eat my family's favourite food- Yam. If my mum buys yam, the amount she cooks and the way it is cooked would give me a foresight if we were going to eat it with fried eggs, fish sauce, butter or (when prayer don answer) pounded yam. The way we were brought up, you aren't meant to ask your mum what she's going to cook... especially if we have a case we are being reprimanded for (a family of four boys, so we get a lot of those). My wife knows say I no dey mess with my stomach. Yam…the very food. In the least, Yam and palm oil with salt to taste are happily wedded in an African stomach. I speak for the majority. We dey chop! But not like before. Things don cost. But Yam. Where Yam dey abeg?… to cut this torey short. Where are all my 'aboki' yam sellers? I leave work go market and what I saw was an apology for yam’ sake. Warris happening? Nairalanders. Where I fit get YAM cheap and plenty too. I fit change my career to selling of YAM. Make una show me front page. For YAM’ sake. 31 Likes 6 Shares

Lol..... Yam is pretty available all over but it's the dry ones you will find and the least size starts from 4k. No matter how good your bargaining power is, aboki price will humble you when it comes to yam levels. 63 Likes 6 Shares |

Asides cost of input, the cost of transporting o bag of rice is approx same for 35-40 tubers of yam. Any heavy food item is now very expensive. Watermelon has tripled almost like yam. 1 Like |

Farmers have been chased away from ariable farmlands by the menace of bandits and BH terrorists. So staple food crops like Yam are no readily available. So sad! Too bad! 19 Likes 3 Shares |

If you can find someone based in Abuja, Nassarawa or Benue to buy and send them to you. Even with the cost of shipping to your base, it's still better than what is being sold in our southern markets. If you're based in Lagos, enter mile 12 market, the very first gate close to Kosofe bus stop,that's where the yam dealers are. Don't ever make the mistake of buying from the abokis at the roadside, that was the mistake and my mistake used to make till I recently entered the gate. Go right into the gate, you go see yams you go bow. Just that those abokis inside don't sell yams apiece like the ones outside, they sell in stacks of up to 10 yams. Luckily, they're always people waiting around for who to share a stack of yams with. 18 Likes 3 Shares |
