Can You Cook Stew For Less Than N1000 In A Recession?

TubeMan — Tue, 20 Dec 2016 13:35:54 +0000

Since the current recession hit Nigeria like a tonne of bricks, prices of EVERYTHING have been skyrocketing but the one thing that every single Nigerian has definitely noticed is how the current economic climate has impacted the price of food in the market.

Now…If it was just food, we could manage. After all, we are a nation of survivors but it’s EVERYTHING.

You want to buy tomatoes and pepper?

Fine but if you want the seller to grind them for you, you must pay extra.

Why?

Because the price of oil for the grinding machine has increased.

So BattaBox sent our presenter Adeola to Ketu Market – Her mission?

To see if she could buy the ingredients she need to cook rice and stew for under 1000 naira like she used to before ‘change’ occurred and let’s just say the task wasn’t as simple as she thought it would be…

“Make I buy tomato and pepper from you, 300, make you ground for me 50 naira, then you give me onions, 50 naira,” Adeola instructs.

“No onions 50 naira for Nigeria now o!” the lady shakes her head, “You no know?” she tells Adeola.

“One carton of fish I dey buy am 30,000 before now na 12,000 naira,” one market woman laments.

“Fish is even more costlier than meat now,” a potential customer agrees with the seller.

“Rice was 15,000, 12,000 but now, the last I bought was 20,000 naira,” one man states.

“We are not selling like before,” a lady shakes her head.

How are YOU coping?!

Are you still able to buy food for a reasonable price?!

Thanks for watching!

Tomato Scarcity Shakes Nigeria !!

Tomato scarcity and the hike in price of perishable goods like garri and rice is beginning to Nigerians greatly. The prices of everything in markets have tripled and tomatoes especially has become really unaffordable.

“Its normally expensive but never this high,”

BattaBox presenters Odunayo and Kayode visited the popular Mushin perishable market in Lagos to talk to traders and customers about how the hike in tomatoes have affected their business.

“A basket used to be N20,000 ($60)but it now costs N45,000 ($120),” complains one of the market women

But what has prompted the scarcity of a vegetable like tomatoes that should be available to Nigerians in abundance?

“Its because some rich people are buying them directly to produce tomato paste,” replies one tomatoes seller

Tomato is one vegetable Nigerians cannot do without. It is used to cook our favorite jollof rice, stew and many other foods we eat everyday. But due to the recent development, people are beginning to look for alternatives to cook like eating gravies instead of stew or coconut rice in place of jollof rice.

Watch and enjoy!
