Is it true that food prices are going up? That is PERCEPTION talking, not REALITY. Many Nigerians still frame the question that way, when the real question should be: why are food prices crashing this fast? Let us check the markets together Major Food Comodity Prices (50kg equivalents) •Local Rice: ₦40k (2023) → ₦100k (2024) → now as low as 50k depending on the market. •Beans: ₦50k (2023) → ₦100k (2024) → now as low as ₦50k •Garri: ₦20k (2023) → ₦75k (2024) → now ₦30k to ₦40k depending on location and market. •Pepper (bag): ₦35k (2023) → ₦135k (2024) → now ₦30k to ₦35k •Tomatoes (basket): ₦30k (2023) → ₦75k (2024) → now ₦25k to ₦30k PMS (Pump Price per Litre) •Before Tinubu: ₦196 •After Subsidy Removal: ₦670 •Peak: ₦1,350 •Now: ₦820 to ₦870 (depending on distance to depot) The facts are clear: •The 2024 shocks are easing off. •Food staples are stabilizing, many back near 2023 prices. •Petrol is correcting downward with competition driving the cuts. And let us be fair to Mr. President. From day one, he never pretended Nigerians were not in pain. He has been consistent: acknowledge the hardship, stay frank about the sacrifices, and push reforms that bring relief. Even during his vacation, meant to refresh body, soul, and mind for greater service, he gave a clear directive: bring food prices down. That same week, Dangote announced another cut in PMS price. Coincidence? I do not think so. As we approach Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary, let us have honest conversations, not propaganda. The numbers are there in the open markets, in filling stations, and in our daily lives. Yes, more work remains, cement, sugar, beverages, and others must follow the same downward curve. But I believe strongly we will soon see food prices even lower than where this administration met them. Renewed Hope is working.
