Hello nairalanders, I'm from Eastern Nigeria (Anambra state) pricisely. Was born and brought up in the north, Niger State!

I don't really know why things are too expensive in the southern part of Nigerian than the north.

I don't even like coming home sometimes (east) due to the unnecessary high cost of living in the southern region.

Everybody is just so greedy and selfish. Especially how I read here on nairaland.

If not for terrorism and banditry, here is one of the major part of the country where the poor can actually live their lives and train their children.

Below are some of the prices of commodities in my local community.

1. this plate of rice is #500

2. This yam was bought from one of my mom's customers for #4,000

3. This fufu and egusi soup is #600

4. The Yam in the fourth picture was bought for #12,000

I have a lot of images to and their prices but nairaland is telling me that I have exceeded limit of image . Don't know how this site works properly

Before nko? Here money has become their god.

5. This oranges is bought for #150

6. This akamu(pap) was bought for #100

7. This food here is #300 fufu, #200 cow meat Total #500

A bad of sachet water here is #250

There’s no onugbu soup or oha soup?

Not even groundnut or white soup?

Let them be making life difficult for themselves down there. Yahoo boys have made things more expensive for them.

Can we do business inbox me if you the kind that fear God that yam is cheap let's do business

Chose btw terrorist n high cost of living

Good for you.

These food items and the food are cheap cos their quality is low. I can bet you $100 that the nutrients composition of those food are less than standard dietary requirements.

We just like extorting.. Right now, prices should have come down a bit but these people no dey gree hear price reduction..
