If what Chuks said is true and if the photo originated in Nigeria, it means the practice is new since people who roast corn in Nigeria are known to sell the cobs in full.
Corn is one of the seasonal staples in Nigeria, which is eaten either roasted or cooked.
In some cities such as Port Harcourt, a corb of roasted corn sold for between N100 and N150 depending on the size. The same is applied to cooked corn.
People who saw the post made by Chuks partly agreed that prices of consumables that were known to be cheap have skyrocketed.
Nigeria's annual food inflation is 24.6 per cent, according to a report published in July 2023.
