Hike In Foodstuff Prices, Igbo's And Southerners Are Right. by Dagah2: 11:52am On Apr 04, 2020 |
I have repeatedly come across people insinuating that Nigerians especially people of a particular tribe/extraction are hiking prices of food and other vital commodities. https://www.nairaland.com/5773333/what-biafrans-doing-ndi-aba/1#88085075 It is very much normal and okay. The stories of how task force and other volunteers has been raiding and intimidating these petty traders is very much bad and uncalled for. Yes, the FG reduced the pump price of only petrol. What about those that their engines burn on Gas? Even with the majority running on petrol should we accept that, have we considered the new restrictions placed on the number of passengers to be carried by some selected state governors? The transporters and foodstuff sellers face extra intimidation and extortion from the so called task force, policemen and even soldiers too. How about the reduced number of people to be conveyed in the whole business hour against the obtainable numbers before? Now, to paint it clear and against the accusations that the Igbos and Southerners who deal on foodstuffs sell costlier than the Hausa's. How many of these Hausa food sellers have a must pay house rent awaiting them? How many of them has school fees to pay whenever school resumes? How many of them even own a shop and house in these regions? Do 97% of them not sleep over in their kiosks? Again, how many of them pay the normal transport fare the Southerner pays while traveling up north where these food items are gotten from? Don't you see them in numbers climbing lorries and trucks for their travels? One other fact people don't get is that in buying these food items, they sell to themselves at a very cheap rate over there, an Hausa man can never sell a basket of pepper at N1000 to a fellow Hausa man and not sell it at N1,700 to a Southerner. I am in this line of business and knows very well. People will always see things from their own perspective but is it really the right view? I don't want to talk about the incentives these northerners receive. I am not a tribalist,but never condemn from a distance if you haven't sought answers to some things. 7 Likes |

Are those things you listed above not existing before the Corona palava? Still searching for sense in this... 8 Likes 1 Share |

helinues:Read in between the lines, if you fail to see one or two reasons then I'll spell it out to you. On a more serious note, do you know how much the northern soldiers collect from trucks coming in from the Niger bridge at this moment? Do you know how wicked they are to Southerners? No, you won't know that once they discover you are not one of them, they will park you and your truck load of perishable foodstuffs by road side till the condition gets so good. You either find them something or... Something bigger than what it used to be. C'mmon, tell me also you don't know how they speak their language; the passcode and bypass easily. After the weeks of lockdown, you and your fantastically incorrupt government will fund them to offset the accumulated bills baa? And most of them riding Keke on higher purchase will not account as against the deal they signed? The banks will also not get their interest from loans collected during this period too abi? It's bad I'm now putting it like a tribalist but that's the simple truth. |

MelesZenawi:Lol... You either don't reason or can't read. Where they mandated to carry only 2 passengers for fear of corona virus then? Person wey no sabi anything...Even with their paying without it then, you can't reason that they will still settle every other bills awaiting them with the low turn outs or do they still make as much turns as they used to? Your type cannot maintain a full stocked shop, sorry! |

helinues:[quote author=Their post=88085075] Of course there are, but you know you don't contend with your Superiors in the Force, know what's rebellion? And to point it blank to you, in the whole of the South, no operation is led by a Southerner. The topmost oga is usually from the north... I stand to be corrected tho. Uhmmm, why don't you look at the other points raised too? |

What an iddiotic way of thinking? So hiking price of food items during a crisis is the surest of becoming over night billionaires and paying your house rent? How does extorting your brothers to enrich yourselve make you exactly rich? 1 Like |

Re: Hike In Foodstuff Prices, Igbo's And Southerners Are Right. by optm(m): 8:09pm On Apr 04, 2020 |
this your write up doesnt justify the increase in price. It's pure greed and that instict to exploit people at every opportunity as portrayed by most nigerians that's at play here. What justifies over 200% increase in price of a commodity just overnight? those factors you listed has been existing before now. The funny thing is that even after d pandemic, prices of goods wouldnt revert to what it used to be owing to the greed of these lots |
