"What if I tell you it them trying to sell all the yam Most yams are dry out and if half is spoilt they cut it and sell it not they’d loose both ways."

Ebuka said:

"This thing scares me so much. I don't know what will become of alot of us if this hunger persists."

Cypher reacted:

"After the hike in prices, scarcity is next you won't even see this sliced yam in the market as time goes on. Law of man can never change the law of economics."

Irunnia said:

"I trust Nigerians to adapt to this rubbish and continue moving on like all is well for them."

Davy Martin said:

"Aside from adapting unnecessarily. This is not even bad. Personally, I dont eat yam. I hear say e de belleful."

Obiora said:

"This is crazy and actually very scary. But the price of this is actually better than full tubers."

Veryboldman added:

"Jagaban is taking Nigeria to greater heights. Before Jagaban yams were sold in unhygienic and dirty tubers. But with Jagaban yams are now peeled and washed in the market to ensure its wholesomeness. Before 2025 various countries in Europe will be sourcing neat yams from Nigeria."
