"You seem to be implying that it is made in the UK, but alas it has a France address with French written all over it. It's like calling it a Nigerian bread because it found its way to a store shelf in PH."
@micwilliann said:
"I understand you but that’s the reason we hate monopoly, u don’t really need to eat this type of bread when you can easily get another for N500. Bread no be cement wey na only Dangote and Elephant dey do, in fact I fit vex bake my own for oven."
@BankoleTO said:
"I don't think consumption choices work that way, you can't gaslight people into buying Nigerian products.
"If it tastes the same, no sane person will buy 7,500 bread instead 450 Nigerian slice break.
"It's not Ojukokoro, it's economics."
@omolarawrites said:
"Why are we importing bread in the first place? If you want to eat UK bread go to Uk. There are literally 1 million bakeries in Nigeria. Olojukokoro no go kill some ppl."
Okonjo-Iweala says there would be a global increase in the prices of bread
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that WTO DG Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala had warned that there would be a global increase in the prices of bread owing to the Russia-Ukraine war.
According to her, the war in Ukraine will hurt wheat consumers as the country is a major exporter of wheat.
"At the WTO, we have watched this tragedy in Ukraine unfold with disbelief and the hope that it would have been peacefully resolved,” the statement reads.
“However, this is now the 7th day, and we are deeply saddened by the continued suffering and loss of life. We pray that there will be a peaceful and quick resolution..."
