Prices of foodstuff and beverages in Nigeria is currently on a high and people are complaining seriously....
Those who earn as little as N30k every month say the money cannot buy anything anymore.... It is a scary phase for some and most have turned into beggars...
Let us compare prices in different areas and see if one area is cheaper than another... please if you are comparing prices, state market to find the food items or beverages...
Examples of some price increase...
Sardine from N300 to N700 per tin
Bag of beans from N30,000 to N50,000 - N100,000.
Sachets of beverages like milk, milo from N700 to N1200
Cooking gas 5kg from N2000 to N3000.
Bread from N350 to N700
I don tire for this country....I dey pity myself sometimes.
ReplyDeleteIt is well shaaa
Cooking gas is from N3,500 TO N7,000
DeleteLyndy 5kg . Not 12.5kg
DeleteSome foodstuffs price are also going down too,like yam,plantain ,pepper is very cheap now, though onion is going up,we GI sha rugged am together jare
DeleteI wanted to buy pawpaw and Avocado this morning thinking N250 last for pawpaw and 200 for avocado, the guy said last for pawpaw N600 and Avocado 700. Everything is expensive and is saddening.
DeleteCancelled breakfast in most homes.
ReplyDeleteBag of flour is from N14,000 to N23,000 from May to October. What a jump.
The best decision I took this year was to buy food in bulk and I still have enough to take me till the end of the year.
DeleteNa ear I take dey hear say things dey expensive. I only go to the market to buy meat.
Have you tried buying waterleaf for afang or vegetable soup?
DeleteMy dear anon15:08
DeleteFunny enough afang is now cheap only that there is no waterleaf.one needs 1000 waterleaf to cook 400 afang
Stella is not easy, honestly. Even we the average people is pushing now. Pay school fees, pay house rent, fuel car, gas, feeding.
ReplyDeleteIs pathetic, we have not talk about clothing and other little things. And my pain is how they reduce quantity and increase prices. Fufu ₦100 can't be enough for a child. Indomie super pack is now small pack.
Please I need a business as side hustle but I don't know how to go about it. Any business advice will help biko.
I need to build my family, not just my man.
Align your skills and interest with problems around you can solve affordably
DeleteWith prayers
Jet Li I don't think she needs a motivational speaker.
DeleteQueen Amy thank you. Nawaoo for people
DeleteTo be honest, at this point I am ready to leave this country and that’s saying a lot coming from me. I have always been team I cannot leave my country. It’s the inhumanity of Nigerians to Nigerians. Granted, cost of things have gone up but at this point people are deliberately hiking prices for undue profit. It’s wickedness
ReplyDeleteNobody is hiking anything for selfish purposes. The woman selling pepper must increase price cos her rent and transport has increased, the landlord and bus driver must increase price cos their food and consumables is now costlier
DeleteThe matter no be here again, even to do small student soup now you must get reach 2k
ReplyDeleteWe buy bread once a week cos of bread is now expensive
ReplyDeleteThe thing is so annoying what is really the cause for the hike in everything in Nigeria, not only food stuff. Every damned thing is expensive in this country. 12kg of gas us now 8000 naira. It has never been this bad before.
ReplyDeleteIdomie noodles (onion super pack) I bought 3250 3weeks ago is 4700 as of today in Ajah market. I am writing this in a cab going home.
ReplyDeleteThe annoying thing is the indomie (all the flavours) are no longer as tasty as they used to be. You must garnish and garnish.
DeleteOmg Abionah i thought it was me o, indomie noodles is no longer tasty. Na wa
DeleteThe rate of inflation this year is on an all time high. To survive in this country is by the grace of God
ReplyDeleteNa relocation get us,already processing our visiting visit. Going to test the waters and put plans in motion.
ReplyDeleteI collect salary,in 2weeks its all gone. I cant even save 1kobo. No salary increase in 6yrs. Someones life is just stagnant,living from day to day.
After they will say government is doing well…saying there is growth
ReplyDeleteI hope and truly pray God comes through for most people especially poor salary earners and business people but in it all,God is faithful
ReplyDeleteNyanya Market, Abuja is a bit fair for food stuff, especially on the market day, which is Wednesday. Garri, Cassava Elubo and all other NORMAL things that people truly need are still ok. They even tie milo and milk in nylon (like oshodi market those days) for those who cannot buy the big ones. Sweet potatoes still dey try small small too for we area. All these only happen on Wednesdays in Nyanya Market, Abuja.
ReplyDeleteThey tie Milo and milk in nylons? 🙆🏾♂️
DeleteIs that even safe?
@ Richie Rich, na make belle full ooo. After that, you talk about safe.
DeleteWhich nyanya market?. Biko no allow me vex this afternoon. I went to the market last Wednesday and could not buy anything. I left with tears. A mudu of brown beans is N1300. Did you price that Milo and milk they tie. It is from N200 upwards. Something they sell N50 before. It is not even good for health. It's for industrial purposes but those women are busy selling it. I went to where they sell yam and was told 5 tubers of small yam is N3k. Meat is N2200 per kilo. Even orange market in mararaba things are dam expensive. Small basket of Irish potato is N1500. I avoid going to market theses days because na tears dey follow me go home because of how expensive things are. No item is cheap. but what can l do. I must eat.
DeleteThe rate at which prices of food items are increasing is alarming. To eat three meals a day in most average family home is now a thing of the past.
ReplyDeleteI litre sachet king vegetables oil is now #1200 unlike the #600 I used to buy it. Beans is more expensive than rice now, noodles nko, the pasta we buy for #250 is now #350, sardine is BTW 500 and #600.
I bought a brand of sardine called Eetus for 350. It's not bad at all, very nice, less salt and contains 5 pieces of fish
Delete12.5 kg in my area is 8k from 4,700.
ReplyDeleteNow I manage beverages,my daughter will make tea like buhari,I caution her anytime I am not home o er the phone.
What has not risen up, everything.
Hmmmn Stella the situation is now WORST I feel like crying! I say make I cook beans yesterday, I carry 1k say I go buy one derica of beans, pepper and onion, I get palm oil for house.
ReplyDeleteAs I reach dem say beans (oloyin) na 900 per derica I shocked! 900 wetin? So with 1k I can't cook beans again? I was confused ehn I don't know if I should buy it or just walk back to the house!
The other day I went to justrite to get one or two things, sardine was 700! Stella sardine that we used to buy highest 350! Highest ooo...is now 700! I said to myself "how much is in my akant" lol. When I got to the cashier desk he calculated and said 12k+ I look the basket, I look the screen...12k+ Wetin? Abi I mistakenly add yam ni? Abi I carry the sardine ni? Lol...it wasn't funny ooo. May God just help us because it is not EASY!

Its very very sad...Tales of woes honestly Stella I dunno what Nigeria is turning into
DeleteYou for kukuma reevaluate your list and drop some items o.
DeleteLol 😂 at the prodigal son who came back
My advice to you is that...
ReplyDeleteIF YOU ARE STILL STAYING IN YOUR FATHER/MOTHER HOUSE PLS DON'T LEAVE YET, DON'T LET ANYBODY PRESSURIZE YOU INTO LEAVING OOO...EVEN JESUS OUR LORD IS STILL STAYING IN HIS FATHER HOUSE! Because street is not smiling! At LEAST you will still be managing small small till things pick up...
Anyone wey have ear make e listen.

Delete"Even Jesus our Lord is still staying in His father's house " 🤣🤣🤣, make una use style pity us parents na, ah ha!
DeleteI was staying in my parents house before and its 10mins drive from my office. But i form independent girl plus u dont have freedom there,my parents have wahala,u dont have freedom or privacy.
DeleteNow im paying 1m as rent. After i remove my rent and bills i dont have one single savings and i also enter 1hr traffic daily. I was really saving living at home back then.
Does it make sense dat i even moved out.
Anonymous 19:53
DeleteRETURN TO BASE!
I REPEAT,
RETURN TO BASE!
Just be like the prodigal Son, go back to your parents house, lay on the floor and cry out
"Father I have sinned against you, forgive and accept me back into your bosom"
Wise up oo.
One derica of beans is now 700.
ReplyDeleteCan't even remember the last time I had two meal per day.
I used to really like sardine until i opened one and instead of confirm oil and fish, i saw very watery oil. It didnt even have that yellowy color. I stopped immediately. Oh Lord, i am very grateful for that STOP ehh. So i for dey use N700 buy one sardine wey dem even reduce the fish. O yi me oo.
ReplyDeleteTry Estus..it's a new brand. Bought it yesterday. It's 350 where I buy my groceries. The foreign brand I saw was 400 and it's also nice ( can't remember the name
DeleteIs the foreign brand Nixe? Its also good. Please, where do you buy your groceries?.

It's not as if salary is increasing. Salary is not enough anymore. Before salary comes, debts have entered. May God have mercy on us oo
ReplyDeleteI was just on a US blog site and one of the blog post was about food price increases. Ppl on the post were lamenting just like everyone here on the skyrocketing food prices. Some even concluded that going vegan was the only thing left for them to do. There was a package of beef displayed for $56, someone said they had bought 4 lamb chops for $40. My connections in the Caribbean are all talking about higher food prices too. Eating meat and fish is obviously now a luxury.
DeleteSeems like it is a global thing. Folks need to pool resources, come together and survive together. This is not the time to do independent and going it on your own. Maybe you have to pool gas money to drive a little further to buy things in bulk on a farm, or buy directly from the chicken farmer. Maybe you have to come together to do a communal vegetable garden together. Maybe we have to go back to brining things, freezing, smoking and other preservation methods.
It is essential to understand how to survive and survive strong.
16.48 you are right about it seeming to be global, it's the same situation in the UK too, rising prices and low consumer confidence, though I think it's more related to brexit effect than anything else.
DeleteIt is so sad and pathetic, the worst is that if you close eyes to buy some of the items, they are mainly substandard and inferior. I bought small morning fresh for washing of cooking utensils not only that the price has skyrocketed from N250 to N450 the thing no gree foam, I have to buy a bar soap of N100 to substitute it. Nigeria is gone
ReplyDeleteIts sad,salary don't last for a week again.
ReplyDeleteAny time i go to the market,i come back depressed.
ReplyDeleteWhy has the government not put in any place price control measures?
ReplyDeleteBasic food items should always be on price control so ppl can survive. A loaf of bread, milk, sugar and all essential food items should never be at a price that those earning minimum wage cannot afford.
This is a very valid question, no control measures .
DeleteYou want to control what you didn't help the Manufacturer in production except looting them and making life more difficult for them?
DeleteIt's well in this country
ReplyDeleteDerica of beans is 1300 at bodija market.
ReplyDeleteGoing to the market these days can give u HBP... I don tire for this country abeg
ReplyDeleteBiscuit is now #20 and it's just 3 light pieces inside. Toothpaste is no longer foamy. I have to apply paste and brush,then apply again. Half of it is even filled with air.
ReplyDeleteI went to buy cornflakes for my daughter yesterday and it was 1000. When we opened it to eat last night,na air them take full am.
I use firewood to cook beans and rice in large quantity but even firewood sef has joined.
This inflation is caused mostly by covid bcus shipping fees have tripled and with high dollar rate now, u can imagine what is going on. All these food stuffs like sardine, wheat to make flour and co are all imported. Shipping a 40ft container that used to be 3k dollars before covid is now 9-12k depending on the shipping line causing price of food stuffs and other products to rise. This is the worst we have ever had it in Nigeria.
ReplyDelete1 CUP OF BEANS IS NOW #180 AND 1KG OF GAS IS NOW #700 AND NAIRA IS STILL CRASHING.
ReplyDeleteIF YOU CONTINUE EARNING IN NAIRA WITH TIME YOU GO TURN BEGGAR O.
DO NOT SAY I DID NOT WARN YOU ON TIME O, LEARN HOW TO TRADE CRYPTO TODAY. IF YOU DONT KNOW HOW I CAN RECOMMEND A GOOD ROBOT FOR YOU TO BE TRADING FOR YOU.

Stella thank You for this post. I just paid 700 naira for Queens meal bread, something I bought 600 two days ago, if not for my kids wouldn't have bought it. May God Almighty help us in this country.
