She was shocked at how much she paid for one tuber of yam. The attendant had to weigh the yam on a scale before she knew the price.
She paid 7.5 pounds, equivalent to N7500 for the same size of yam she buys at N1,000 in Abuja, Nigeria.
Eande also bought a handful of pepper which was priced at N500.
Netizens had varying reactions to the lady’s post and did not hesitate to jump into the comment section.
