Does it take dat long for tomatoes to begin to germinate?

ezechi24:



You must be extremely stupid.....okay he should go and planed tomato and pepper and wait for 8months to cook how many pots of stew, ..... sometimes I see AJC ers of no only being evil but also foolish and insensitive .

idealogical:
If you don't have land or a backyard, to plant, get a bucket, punch a hole under the bucket, add soil, and grow your tomato and pepper.

Instead of complaining, you have the power to reduce demand and lower food prices.

Doing that already.

That's plenty o

Pepper is 100 naira for 1.
200 naira for 2 bulbs.

Tomato is 250 naira for 1

had it been you use APC hip card to the market or you said you are an agbadorian you for get am #150

But am glad pepper is scarce and expensive.

I don't understand how u will prepare stew with only pepper and call it stew or be packing plenty pepper inside pepper soup just because it's called pepper soup!

I hope price of pepper ( only pepper o) continues to Increase to 1k per bulb so that all these restaurants will learn to cook things with tomatoes

2015 I'll buy pepper 100 naira and ask the seller to take out some cos it's too many for what I want to cook. Today, 4 seed is 500 naira.

They write am for you from hospital, that u must eat tomatoes?

patwilly:
It is unfortunate what this country has turned to. How are people surviving? I'll add that two of the tomatoes are Jara added after much complaints.

Bought similar quantity for 2k on Saturday too. ..😔

And you will wait till it ripe before you feed your family. Foooolish mindset

damilare442:


In the past, most houses have small gardens in their backyards where they grow vegetables and spices. This reduces demand and have proven to be a stabilizer for prices.

You dont just attack every idea just because you don't understand it.

Oga shut up abeg. You sound very unintelligent

Where did you buy these for 2k please?

princejude:
which part of Kaduna?

Barnawa. But it will be around 300 in Kawo side or anywhere around Kaduna North

Small gardens is not enough to solve food security. Large scale farming by all is the answer. If you are a farmer, you will know this.

Election has consequences

It will get worser..

LifestyleTonite:

Everyone wants to put on suit and tie even when their brain is not fit for western education. More than half of those in school really have no business being there. But since society has programmed us all to think you cannot make with without a paper called certificate, many now hope on education.

A girl who has acumen for business will abandon that to go study ing in school so that she can graduate and start helping business people for their money. This she does for a "take home pay" that can't take her home. After a while, she starts selling hair on Whatsapp status. If she had used the money spent on school fees and the four years spent on university education to focus 9n her hair business, she won't be relying on take home pay.

Go round and ask youths if they dream of becoming a farmer. Almost all them will say no; some might even curse you for wishing such on them. Yet we wonder why food is scarce. All these have to be considered to make things right. Sadly, some dumb people see this food scarcity as an opportunity to promote Peter Obi as saviour. How a people chose to package a fraud they know too well is baffling to me.

I truly blame Tinubu for being a gentleman. Man doesn't want to expose Buhari, that's why kids think Tinubu is the total cause of the hardship. They never knew that Buhari was patching things up with borrowed funds so that Nigerians won't say things got bad under him. If Tinubu wanted to be bad as well, he would have continued to patch things up and then dump it all on his successor. However, he chose to face reality, same reality many Nigerians don't want to accept. If Tinubu fails to steady the ship, he should know that a new captain will take over .

On this tomato scarcity, I heard it is caused by tomato Ebola. Ok, we agree. But how come pepper is also scarce? Does pepper suffer from the same disease? I think this is economic sabotage by the north. The region wants to do everything possible to frustrate the southern presidency. Food is 9ne of their weapons.

I'm glad Southwest governors have ordered the commissioners of agriculture of each state to meet and discuss how the region can grow its own food. I ask, why do most southern states have agriculture commissioners when the region can't grow its own food? Any state with such officers should sack them because they are blockheads. Look at the vast lands we have in our region. We also have rivers and the sea. Why is fish expensive? Can government investment in fishing and farming? I understand Lagos doesn't have enough land, but how about Ogun, Oyo, Kwara, Osun, Ondo and Ekiti? Even the Lagos that doesn't have land is investing in rice production in collaboration with a northern state.

Nigeria is dying and our leaders are not the only ones to blame.

I didn't read this shit u wrote but from the intro, it shows how bereft r u with happenings in Nigeria. Pikin wey never pay school fees by himself, go talk say em papa no dey try. Insecurity is a threat, not that many Nigerians don't want to farm. Farming is difficult but what is your billionaires doing to aid this. The ones trying to make food for the masses they are attacked by bandits, once they sense it's a farm in the west or south. They send bandits or kidnappers to kill, maim and stop activities of that company. I just wish insecurity don't happen to you before u will understand how horrible our leaders have been.

I wouldn't have commented but you clearly don't know the duty of a government in nation building. You make excuses for irresponsible leadership.

Maybe it is ignorance and if that is the case, go on youtube and see how government are making effort to help their country in areas like this. It is not my job to teach you if you choose to be ignorant.

One day, I will leave this country for you people to continue to kill yourselves and die slow painful death since people like you don't want to be at least reasonable in your disposition...

If you have everything that it takes to make a country better. Why no contest the election and let's see your blueprint. Mr. YouTube professor.

Solababa91:
You didn't tell us whose fault that price of Petrol skyrocketed, the gains of the shredded subsidy we no see rather Nigeria still borrow as if tomorrow no dey, you can't absolve the government any blame in the current quagmire Nigeria finds itself.

I when Nigerians asked for subsidy removal..... Since from the days of GEJ.


Now Tinubu removed the subsidy and you want the country to blame him?


Why didn't you people do your due diligence before asking for it?

I'm tired of blaming any government. It's foolishness.

I'd rather improve on skills and advanced on trends.

I stop relying on government for a better Nigeria.

JASONjnr:
In as much as I don't like this government.... But people should know certain things without pointing fingers unnecessarily.


This isn't the season for tomato and also we don't have enough rain yet....

Last week, I travelled to Jos for a function and I couldn't buy many fruits. The sellers cried for rain.

They complained that irrigation is expensive as diesel and PMS are unaffordable. Hopefully onions was difficult to get and that moment came and breeze off.


All the people bringing alternative to tomato should know that, nothing can ever replace tomato. You can't replace a sweet and understanding girlfriend.

So because this isn't tomato season we should now be buying a single piece of tomato for #100? 🙄🙄

Godons1:
This is 400 in Kaduna

Lucky you.

all harvest will be use for a day soup. How sustainable is this?

Typical response from the useless APC sympathizers…

Na Nigeria go kill una las lass

Nonsense talk. How much tomatoes and pepper can you grow in your yard that will serve your daily consumption?

There's no need to be rude.

Discussing politics is like discussing about solutions and not to fight about it...

If you'd ever become a father tomorrow, I'd asked that you start working on yourself on how to respond to people as you might just be teaching your children how to be rude with people.

Also, I've come to realise that empty people gets easily triggered.

See, the last time I ever collected naira for my skill is 2021.


But I still speak up because of I am not selfish person. I want to see every or at least averagely, doing okay.


Are you not tired of how this APC are intentionally destroying lives? Are you not? Look around you. Just look around you. Look at the gloomy faces of your fellow countrymen and women…


This is not life, this is not a country… this is not a future. This is not a destiny.

I won't look at people's faces.

All I look for is a better way to improve myself and I don't have that time to point fingers.

If your skill isn't giving you the income you deserve, then it means you have to change environment or improve on it or change your cycle. As well as changing your skill as it might have been outdated.

Bro, look over your shoulder and stop worrying about people!

I discover recently that everyone has a problem. But learn to worry about yours first!

Do you eat tomatoes everyday? No. So it is sustainable. Backyard farming is sustainable.
