Common sense dictates that market laws of supply and demand will prevail. As long as their is no scarcity of yam, if some people change the price of their own yam to 1000 arbitrarily people will simply go and buy from those who are selling at a reasonable demand. You mean if there is no fund raising some people can't get the idea within themselves to raise the price of a good the reason that always fails is that the laws of supply and demand will balance things out. If some people decide to sell their yams in the market for 1000 , there are many farmers and market women who are ready to sell it at the usual price, by the time the 1000 people lose their customers no one will tell them before they change it back to normal price

The other day Linda Ikeji bought a dress at a fund raising event for 1M, did that mean the price of dresses will suddenly go up of course not. It's a usual practice all over the world, people pay a higher price for goods offered at fund raisers as a way to contribute to the cause . That will in no way reflect on market prices

I envy your patience.

They should ship the unsold ones to Lagos and make it available on Konga and Jumia.

A group of yam farmers cutting across some
northern states in the country have pledged to
support the All Progressives Congress (APC)
presidential candidate, Gen. Mohammadu
Buhari’s campaign in the 2015 general elections
with N5 billion.

The group disclosed this in a statement made
available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in
Jos on Tuesday.

Rev. Jacob Musa, Public Relations Officer (PRO)
of the farmers under the name “Buhari-Osinbajo
Presidential Appeal Campaign Fund (BOPCAF),
said that farmers from 10 states of the
federation were planning the fund raiser.
Musa said members drawn from Taraba,
Nasarawa, Plateau, Adamawa, Benue, Kogi,
Kwara, Niger and Kaduna states as well as the
Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, would
feature at the occasion.

He said that Prof. Emmanuel Garba, who lost the
governorship primary of the APC in Plateau, was
a founding father of the group.
“We have contributed five million tubers of yam
to be donated in support of the funding of
Buhari’s presidential campaign.

“The five million tubers of yam will be retailed at
a special price of N1,000 each towards raising
the sum of N5 billion in support of the APC
candidate,’’ it said.

The statement said that the public presentation
of the five million tubers of yam would hold at
the Mararaban Demshin village yam market in
Qua’an Pan Local Government Area of Plateau
on Jan. 4, 2015.

It stated that the ceremony would also witness
traditional wrestling involving 500 traditional
wrestlers from the 19 northern states and the
FCT.

“The aim is to mobilise the wrestlers in the
campaign against poverty, crime, killings,
kidnappings, armed robbery, cattle rustling, rape, cultism, election rigging, looting of public
fund, smuggling, terrorism and other social vices
now prevalent in the society,’’ it said.

The statement also said that the event would be
heralded by a world press conference in Jos,
sponsored by Imo Gov. Rochas Okorocha.
It added that the event would be attended by
Gov. Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers in his capacity as
the Director-General of the Buhari-Osinbajo
Campaign Organisation on Jan. 2, 2014.

I'm #TeamBuhari, but I smell stories.

Yam farmers rich like this, yet they only donate during elections.

Imagine what 5 billion naira would design a hospital.

this is genuine grass root fund raising not some looters raising loots for gej.Kudos to them.

my friend go bak to nursery school,your grammar is killing. What is those farmers has never seen one million naira all their life?are you related to that woman at the top?

Hehehe...you are so angry with your life that all you do is find grammatical error in people's post!!! My guy,try and find a solution to your life's predicament! Being sentimental or supporting APC or PDP will not change your miserable lifestyle of sadism,,,,,,

I admit I made a big grammatical error in my post,but the last time I checked we ain't in english class here and being human (not perfect),I am very willing to learn and correct my mistakes (grammatically or otherwise) but the question is, are you willing to stop being a political slave? Likes of you can even be a thug and carry ballot box! DUNCE.

P.s: I am neither a PDP nor an APC supporter so carry your political slavery to sambisa and die there!

You are very free to find another error and cover up your agonizing life by trying to make jest of people...Ori-Okpe

**Laughing in Swahili**
How does that concerns me
GEJ Till Buhari pass all his exams!!!

Ungrateful farmers, after gej provided you with fertilisers, dams and loans to produce yam, you want to sell yam to raise money for buhari whi has don nothing productive with his life in the past 20yrs besides loosing elections.

Dont worry, he will loose again and you will pay the full cost of fertiliser without subsidy.

simpleseyi:
I have donated my widow's mite to change Nigeria for better. Buhari does not have looters and economic saboteurs and thieves to donate 21 bullion naira to his campaign but he has you and I. Put your money where your mouth is, contribute your kobo or naira to Buhari Support Organisation. If poor farmers can contribute their yams then you have no excuse note to contribute your widow's mite to Nigeria for better

I would rather stick a knife to my eye than waste my hard earned money on fruitless ventures.
GEJ Till 2019!!!

WAOW.. they have been struggling for loans from the BANK of Industry for decades and barely have mechanized farming methods or fertilizer to grow crops and yet these farmers can raise N5 billion.. in such a short time.. I recommend that banks do not give loans to farmers again, they should have enough to grow their crops in exportable quantities.. na wa for propaganda ooooh

Actually forums are for COMMUNICATING. Not getting up on soapboxes. If no one on this thread is interested in what you're saying, tough luck.

Don't mind the naughty farmers. By the time they lose in 2015, they'll realize that, joining politics with yams is a suicide affair as far as good commercial farming is concerned.

Nigerians everywhere are ready for #Change. #GMB2015

Na so these Association of Pretending Crooks, APC people dey fail to ACKNOWLEDGE the better performance of the Jonathan/Sambo administration on the back of which they sometimes ride their PROPAGANDA activities like that "Engineer" Aregberascal with his

- "free" train from Lagos on REVIVED railways.
- repainting of the Osogbo railway station for N1 billion


That it is even possible (make I buy dem tori for convenience as of now) for the yam FARMERS in the Middle Belt (not the North) can raise as much as N5 billion for the pretending A-Looter old soldier testifies to the agricultural revolution and revival going on under the able, dedicated, long-sighted leadership of Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan

Meanwhile can we look forward to seeing the list of these Middle Belt yam FARMERS (not sellers oh ) who will be doling out N5 billion to the Perpetual Presidential Candidate (PPC). Abi TRANSPARENCY nor be part of anti-corruption ni

A fool at forty is a fool forever Smh

5million yams will be used to rewrite GEJ's destiny in 2015.

egift:


Nobody is forcing you to buy it. You are quarreling over those donating N1,000 but have no problem with the ones donating Billions - Please how else do you define HYPOCRISY

U have already started the corruption so after contributing if they win they will ask of their tubers.
U want to stabilize oil prices but want to sell a tuber of yam for 1000. Corruption in the highest order.

egift:


Examples:
- Immigration Job Scam
- Police Pension Scam
- Fuel Subsidy loots
- Auctioning PHCN to his fronts.
- Madam P's Oil cargo off the coast
- NNPC missing funds
- Poor education system
- Expanding recurrent budget than Capital.
- Inflated Security Budgets
- Illegal Arm smuggling outings
- Protecting Boko Haram Sponsors.
- The death of over 15,000 Nigerians
- Nigerians as refugees in their own country
- Insecurity and corruption everywhere.

And many more. Second term my foot.

Welldone God bless you sir.

pendy79:
The APC campaign wont be driven by cartels and government contractors. it shall be led and driven by ordinary citizens craving for the change and desire to have a country they can truly call theirs.

Ours shall be by the PEOPLE and for the PEOPLE not by Tunde Ayeni, Ifeanyi Ubah, Jerry Gana and his fathom friends.

The ordinary peasants and artisans will deliver the Buhari presidency next year.

Yes ooo my brother. This is the kind of change that we advocate for. A "change" to move the country forward in a right direction. I, personally will like to buy one of the tuber of yam for a start. Vote for a change! Vote Buhari/Osinbajo! Vote APC!

#1000 per tuber

Fashola will like this

It will remind him how he increased LASU school fees from 25000 to 250 000 making it difficult for the poor to afford


APC wants the poor to die of high cost of food


APC government of the Rich, for the Rich and the RICH.
