Hey lovelies
It's your favorite girl @debbie-ese
Welcome to my blog

Like my Yorùbá people use to say "ọbẹ̀ tó dùn owó ló pá".

Which means a delicious pot of soup is as a result of good money.

It may be impossible to cook a delicious meal or pot of soup these days if one is not averagely financially stable.

Smoked fish, some years back in Nigeria use to be affordable by everyone but lately the price as skyrocketed. About three years ago, you can buy like three smoked fishes for #1000 ($2.43) but today it take a lot of negotiation and haggling before you get one for #800 ($1.95). You may even be insulted and looked at with a bad eyes if you price too much because the market women are not happy when their goods is being priced below the price they bought it too.

It is quite alarming that the prices of food is going up day in day out and the standard of living isn't improving. If you pay keen attention you'd observe in the pictures that the woman selling the fish was sitting comfortably and answering me from a distance. She felt there was no need to stand up and engage me like she should have done. She might have done that when she opened for the day but discouraged due to customers pricing and not eventually patronizing her.

I'm pretty sure it will get better one day but the major thing is that it should not take long before it does. A lot of people are suffering silently and smiling. We all try to put food on our table even if it gets to the point of not having fish or meat. The main thing is to at least fill your stomach with food.

Thank you for your time lovelies.
