MY TRADITIONAL MARKET TOUR
Good day my beautiful people of market Friday community, this is my first time of posting into this community and I hope I am welcome here.
I really appreciate this community #marketfriday and the admin @dswigle and #hive-196308 for this suitable opportunity giving everyone to participate in this community and to write about market price inflation. Today I was in market to buy groceries and food stuffs and soup ingredients but the price of things in market is very expensive here in Nigeria now.
Now let me share my journey to the market with my beautiful people of market Friday community.
I stopped at the cowskin (ponmo) seller to buy for my soup and per one is #500 in Nigeria currency but before we purchase one cowskin at rate of #1000 the cowskin was increased with #500.
I later moved to the inner market where they sell soup ingredients like pepper, tomatoes,banga,and so on for my soup.
The price of plantain in the market is nothing to write about and the sellers too are really lamenting that things are cost can we say plaintain is cost because we are into agriculture in Nigeria and people are still complaining that everything is costly that this is not the season of plaintain.
I moved round the crayfish seller to purchase and the seller tell me the price of crayfish rice from #3000 per paint rubber to #6500 and I questioned the woman why, but she said and I quote that this is not the season of crayfish that the season of crayfish is during dry season and now we are in rainy season that fishermen does not catch both fish and crayfish again.
I moved to the cow meat slaughter to buy cow meat for my soup and those people are complaining bitterly about the price of meat.
Cow meat are very expensive and too small today in market but we have to buy things now so that we keep living.
I later moved to provision store where to purchase my groceries and a roll of tomato paste is high and not encouraging at all even bathing soap worth of #70 is now sold at the rate of #150 and it is now doubled.
Thank you all for stopping by and check my post. You people are wonderful.

I have run so far behind in the comments of #MarketFriday that I am having to do the abbreviated one so that I can finish them in an (almost) timely manner. For this, I apologize, but, just know that it doesn't change the way I viewed your post. I have read them all at least once, some twice and as usual, I am pleased to say that I always get the best. I just love how people have embraced the community and have really been making an effort to visit the other posts, learning about each other and giving pieces of advice, their opinions, and most of all, showing support to each other. That is what community is all about. I want to thank you for doing that.
Thank you for being part of #MarketFriday! I am honored.
#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, and eventually branched out and evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but, it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, and even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact that is these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world.
