Price of yams 10 years ago resurfaces
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a 2014 Facebook post by a lady about the price of six yams had resurfaced on social media.
In a post about ten years ago, Nkemjikaku said she bought six tubers of yam for N500 and wasn't happy about it. She shared her experience on Facebook, and it elicited mixed reactions from her followers at the time.
However, years later, Nigerians remembered the post and lamented bitterly online as they compared the old price she mentioned to the current price of yams.
