There are beans and there are beans. When I entered the market, I realized my utter ignorance in these things. All I know is I love beans, I buy and I eat, that’s all.
First off, there are different species of beans, normally from the farm. They are even in their big forms and small, too. Then our marketers now add to the varieties by doing various mixes. I don’t know if I should regard that as sharp practices, I won’t conclude yet. I still want to know why that happens.
Then, you come to the measures, this one I know from way back. The bags are different, the ‘plastic’ measures are different, the ‘can’ measures are different. Oh my God, I still haven’t found out why the Nigerian market is so structured. Maybe as I continue in this ‘baba elewa’ journey, I will find out.
But it’s okay. Nigeria will be great again, in my lifetime. This is Yomi speaking, not Trump, lol!
