This are not packs of cigarettes.
These are cartons on cigarettes.

Make una dey smoke once in a while so that una go sabi the

And that is an ESSE Change.
So, no a carton is sold for 20k.
a pack is 2k, they are 10 packs in a carton.

MyExpression:

See as you dey hype cigarette.
A stick is still sold for N50.

You have been buying stolen cigarettes.
Or expired cigarettes, that is why your brain is up in smoke. How else can your brain process what I have said as hype.
I hope you are not smoking bamboo leave?

3seriez:


You got the figures all wrong.
It is 50 rolls a carton which translates to 500 packs. A roll has 10 packs.
And there is no cigarette carton that is sold for 20k, maybe five years ago but not with this inflation. Unless it is a low value illicit or contraband

Young man, go and ask google what a roll of cigarettes look like, then also check what a carton of cigarettes look like.

Your major problem is lack of understanding of basic English. I started smoking at the age of 13 and of today i can say I already too old to die young from smoking, there is absolutely nothing new you want to say about cigarettes to me now.
What most of you call rolles of cigarettes is actually a carton of cigarettes. what the young man stole is a carton of cigarettes

3seriez:


You dey Google, when that was my past life in reality. 😂. I Ieft that industry 8 years ago. So I know what I'm saying facts..
All these children trying to act woke.
If you know anything about cigarettes then I won't need to correct you on what a packet of cigarette is and what a roll of cigarette is and what a carton of cigarette is.
The problem with you children is you claim to be knowledgeable when you are obviously swimming in the deepest part of ignorance....

He would have gotten nothing less that 50k from those rolls from black market sales, or like 70k outright sales.

I have seen a cctv footage on YouTube showing a burglar easily put a generator (bigger than i--my- neighbour size) in a sack, effortlessly slung it over his shoulder and walked away as if the sack contained only a throw pillow. If it wasn't captured on camera, it would be hard to explain that it did happen.
