Notable activist, Just Adetoun laments over the rising cost of food items in the market.
She lamented over this following her recent shopping for a bag of pepper at the market.
The activist bemoaned over the soaring price of items, remarking that things seem to be getting out of hand.
She said …
‘’It is not funny anymore. There is fire on the mountain. Look at it, a bag of Tatashe N55,000, a bag of pepper N47, 000. I actually thought it was because of the muslim festival that things were expensive. I went to Mile 12 market more than thrice during the Muslim festival so that when we are lamenting, they will not say we are that are enjoying should keep quiet and the ones that are suffering are not talking.
There is fire on our mountain.
President Tinubu! Minister of Agriculture! Minister of Welfare! politicians! Some people will say this government is about my father and my Uncle..we should keep quiet as if they are bringing tatashe for me from bourdillon or I am receiving Federal allocation for tatashe.”
’’If Minimum wage is N70,000 for a family of four, if they use N55, 000 to buy Tatashe, please what is left? And some people are still thinking this government is about you are a family member, you should not talk. Tinubu is your father you should not talk! There is problem! Food is principal and key. Go to the hospital and see treatments for poor nutrition, malnutrition, and all of this is related to food. An average Nigerian child cannot eat food of N1000.
‘’And somebody will be calling me on the phone and saying Adetoun don’t talk! As if I am not affected. I can imagine what the minorities are going through.”
