Sharing a video on his Facebook page, the man noted that things were way cheaper in the state than in parts of the country where sellers adjust their prices.
He also disclosed how his roommate’s friend got more meat for a cheaper rate because she spoke Hausa.
He said:
“My roommate and I bought this for #1,700 at the Muda Lawal Central market yesterday, Bauchi local government, Bauchi state. Things are way cheaper here. Yeah, I know they produce things here, we do too in the South, though not as much as they do here,
“We only chose to sell at high rates, especially Akure market women. We’ve bought cow meat #300 here I think about 7 or 8 pieces; my roommate’s friend who lives here and speaks Hausa fluently got hers higher in number compared with the one we got. Note: it is potatoes that fill the rubber no stone or any adjustment whatsoever.”

“You should not blame sellers in Akure. It is what they buy they would sell. The cost of transportation from that local govt in Bauchi to Akure is what inflate prices of food cultivated in the north and sold in the South.”

“Buy come for me ooo.”
Folorunsho Adekunle said:
“Please can you help me Waybill to Owerri Imo State, I will pay for delivery.”
