The cost of local foodstuff in Nigeria is reportedly at an all time high.......
This is just October and I am guessing that the prices will either drop in December or hit another all time high that will be so bad that some may not be able to celebrate the festivities...
What are prices of Foodstuff in your area? Does it differ from the ones found in other places? Where do you shop and do you manage what you buy? which markets are best to shop from in your state?

It’s so worrisome that with everything going on in nigeria
ReplyDeletePeople are engaging in unprofitable twitter wars over bbn house mates.
Immediately Tinubu entered and removed the fuel subsidy without remedy and the subsequent increase in Dollars on daily basis, prices of good and services are skyrocketing at progressive dimension. My solace is that I started thrift collection to buy food staff for my customers that has been contributing money since January , though I added money I still made small change and my customers are happy they did the contribution.
DeleteThe way this thing is going is quite alarming. I bought Pampers for 5400 within a space of some weeks not even up to a month,the price is now 6200. Baby Formula was 4200 now 4700. The poor are getting poorer even an average man is now poor. Everybody should just be praying, when I see those wey born plenty, and they are not rich like that, I will just be imagining how they are surviving. Born according to your pocket, there is no pride in giving birth to kids you can't cater for. God help us in this country. Amen
DeleteHmmmm. It is well. That's all I can say for now
DeleteLucyboo. I understand your point but someone who could afford 3-4 children early this year or last year and is struggling now due to someone's careless approach to managing a country, will that person be classified as not having children he can take care of? All of these are new and we are still learning how to manoeuvre. Please let us think from different sides. I bet you were not really complaining about things by this time last year as you are now. My point is let's put the blame at the doorstep of who caused it.
DeleteThe price increase is alarming
ReplyDeleteI wonder how December festive season ll be like
God have mercy
Nigerians thought Buhari is a monster and shade of Evil. Omo, this present regime proved us wrong.😁
ReplyDeleteThe prices are really scary 😨
ReplyDeleteIt's really outrageous. God abeg oooo🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
ReplyDeletePrices of foodstuffs in Nigeria is something else...a bag of rice as at last week that I priced is #48000...Semo is a no go area bcos dat one price keeps increasing everyday...knorr is now 1k as at Friday dat I bought it...
ReplyDeleteI have hope for December bcos there is dis daily contribution of #150 per day from January to December that I do...to collect 1 bag of rice,I pack of indomie, half carton of sachet tomato, I big pot, Milo, milk and a packet of maggi...At least it will help us for some months..
I stay in Kubwa and buy from kubwa village market... though there are places u can get it cheaper like gwagwa, suleja but transport fare is somehow much...better to buy where is close to me..
I bought half bag rice for 27k two days ago. I wonder how much rice will go for in December. It is well
DeleteSemo 10kg bag is 9500.... I know it will be 10k soon.
DeleteDo you think the contribution can buy all these with the current prices of things. The country is scary
DeleteChardey, this list of items for 150 daily contribution in your area is very good.
DeleteThe #200 daily list they gave me, was not even up to this for one year. I had to abort and did January-June which i have collected.
Pls when you want to start January next year, pls i will like to join you guys.
Thank you
Hmmmm,it's so sad. If care is not taken,all our savings will go into feeding because of the cost, to save is by the grace of God.
ReplyDeleteThe Economy is not Smiling at all.
ReplyDeleteI went to buy ZOBO MATERIALS, FRUITS and other ingredients the price don skyrocket. I just Tire 🤷♀️
Even Printers don add money for printing…
If you are doing Business in Nigeria, I greet you Specially 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Everything is shooting up drastically. We have never witnessed this kind of thing. If you can afford to investment expenditure now you don't know what God has done for you. Mostly, consumption expenditure is what most are faced with. And I'm staying in a part of the country where things are relatively cheap. I can't even begin to imagine what some families are going through.
ReplyDeleteThese days will soon be behind us.
Food prices are so outrageous,God help us ooo.
ReplyDeleteGoing to the market now is scarily for me, I have change so many things to lesser brand even the lesser brands is no longer cheap, It is only God that will intervene in this our economy. People giving birth now i dont know how they are coping.
ReplyDeleteEverything in the market has either doubled or tripled. I remember when i buy a packet of knorr cube for 600/650 now it’s 1,200 with abeg , same with garri, semo, red oil and ground nut oil. People that afford 3 square meals dis days eh don’t know what God has done for them😞😞
ReplyDeleteThe thing is sooo bad, everything in the market is very high now. We that have children na baba God hand we dey ooo.
ReplyDeleteIt's really bad o.
ReplyDeleteHunger dey
Father we pray for your intervention. It's alarming.
ReplyDeleteDecember price will be times 2 if you buy something today and go back tomorrow it's another price,I am sick and tired of this country.
ReplyDeleteThe prices of foodstuff is very high now.
ReplyDeleteHmmm.. gas is now 1k per kg charcoal bag is 4000. Not to even talk about the cost food stuffs o. Onions and tomato price ehn
ReplyDeletePls, where do u buy a bag of charcoal for 4k? Maybe I will have to start using charcoal pot
DeleteCost of petroleum and it's products also rising. For example, USA inflation is over 20 percent for everyday items. The rains also destroyed many farms so reduced supply. With the open dollars and making USD available for the import of items like rice, perhaps foodstuffs with longer shelf life will regularize but as for perishables, that will be till the rains go away.
ReplyDeleteTuber of yam is ₦1500.
ReplyDeleteGarri paint size, ₦1500
Fresh tomatoes and onions na for the over rich.
You manage to eat as you go. Buying in bulk is exclusive right of the very rich.
I don't bother to think of it. I live each day as it comes.
All these foods stuff have season,you get it cheaper then. When is season for tomatoes, you have it plenty at lesser price.The best way is to buy in bulk ,if you have the money.
DeleteAs for living in Nigerian,we are surviving and will keep surviving.
People thinking Tinubu is the problem while Buhari is the very idiot that brought us to this hardship.
ReplyDeleteOmo Na two of them joor. Buhari started it but Tinubu got it to this point. Was it Buhari that removed subsidy without putting the necessary things in place? Was it Buhari that chose to remove the controls on the currency without having a plan to defend it? On both cases, ask yourself if a person leaves a job without first getting another one when you were not fired, only some motivational speaker told you that you would be more serious in getting a job if you are out of job...does a man with wife and kids do that? That was Tinubu. It's exactly what he did. Buhari messed up the country but Tinubu complicated it badly. Coming back from where Buhari put Nigeria is easier than coming back from where Tinubu has put it. It would take more work and more time.
DeleteGood a thing the federal government has declared Emergency in the food sector.
ReplyDeleteIt's a terrible situation,a consequence of the price in petroleum products and the cost of seedlings, coupled with other economic factors like crossing the food and cash crops after harvest and all that.
The palliatives are an insult. Just provide free transport for harvests, security for plow men, free grounds for daily or weekly markets and all these will stop.
You don't expect the farmer who bought a packet of tomato and watermelon seedlings at N2,000 and N4,000 per pack to sell same price of last year when he bought at N5,000 and N8,000 respectively in 2023? He likely paid heavily for security on or during harvest too.
Odiro possible.
2.
I'm won't to ask like I've been asking for years on here.
Nigerians in cottage homes,why are they not planting food crops in their ends as substitutes, I remember the days families had mini cottage industries,they must have something either handmade or produced to sell.
We ate from our farms.
Now, nobody wants to stress it, they're on social media. Na wa.
3.
Nigerian billionaires are investing in runs girls to buy Hermes and Louis Vuittons,why not invest the lump sum in agriculture?
You mustn't carry a how or drive a tractor.
Just drop the cash for the remote farmers. Shikena!
However,if they really wish to help,remove the bottlenecks at the borders, crush some food unions and give out seedlings as palliatives,look at all the rains from above this year yet people aren't toiling their gardens.
Hmmm.
It is well.
Everything is not Tinubu and Shettima o.
I completely agree with number 2.
DeleteEven in developed nations, there is a return to homesteading and growing your own food. We need to take responsibility and but just pointing fingers like babies.
DeletePeople in farming communities and everyone who has access to land in villages are planting, that's for those who haven't sold their lands to rich people to build houses...lol. but on a serious note, for you to see anything from the small holder farming you need fertiliser. That fertiliser is not as accessible as it was in Jonathan's time. I don't know why but somehow farmers are not getting it as they use to. It use to be free or sold cheap next to nothing, now it's expensive that's even if you see it. Then for the lump sum in agriculture, believe me, the threats of being killed by bandits in the bush is real. It's not just talk. These guys show up and kill farmers like they were sent to wipe out farmers. I didn't say Fulani herdsmen...that's a different conversation about herders and farmer clashes. I am talking about killer bandits who don't want you to farm. The ones that are criminals, not the assassin's, I mean the criminal gangs say pay me 2million to let you farm. You pay, another group will come and ask for similar amount. These ones are just bandits, then if you jam the killer militia, that slice people neck, you know those are trained killers. So that's why some areas, farming is just suspended for now.
DeletePrice of things don pass skyrocket o, dem don reach galaxysatalite, cheiiiiii
ReplyDeleteCost of living wan kill the living.
E b things sha. We go dey alright
Things are just too expensive, God pls provide for our daily needs and daily bread Amen.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wished I didn't attend university,would have used that money to start my laundry biz, now see
ReplyDeleteIt is critical.Nigerians are not happy.
ReplyDeleteThe price of things in the market is times 3 now, I went to the market to buy hospital requirement for delivery I can't even buy more than 5 items. I pray to see money to buy the remaining before the D- day.
ReplyDeleteSome items left my store shelf and never got restocked because their prices are too high. God help us.
ReplyDeleteInfact, today I was weak.. baby milk that was 41k is now 54k without warning? Cerelac from 16k to 21k. I pity us that have small children because you can't tell them not to eat. They must the fed. Very sad
ReplyDeleteThe whole world is in trouble price has gone up everywhere. The war the west are fighting will continue to exacerbate the situation.
