People doubt Anasthesia's cheap rice claim
Given the high cost of rice and other food items in Nigeria currently, a lot of her followers doubted what she said and accused her of telling lies.
They insisted it was not possible for a bushel of rice to be sold at N3000 even in November of 2023. But one of them claimed she knew the market and said Anasthesia was telling the truth.
Speaking to Legit.ng, a rice seller and farmer, Haidar Abdullahi Gaduwama, expressed doubts that a bushel of rice was sold at N3k. However, he said getting rice at cheaper prices was possible if one was buying from rural areas, as claimed by Anasthesia.
Haidar told Legit.ng:
I don't think you can get a good rice like this for N3k. Yeah, 2023, I don't think it's possible."

"Which market is that please?"
@Harmony Emirates said:
"You are saying the truth. I know that place, even my own place is more cheaper but we don't use to buy from the market we cultivate our own."
@THE GREAT IROKO said:
"That place is Ebonyi state but very close to Enugu state. Enugu people buy from there."
