OP , How do you cope with their extreme weather and how are you still in Russia despite the ongoing war

It’s 30k in Nigeria

The APC govt have successfully widened and continue to widen the gap between 'the Rich and the Poor'!.

Wow,I may not like Russian policy towards her neighbours but I am impressed by the resilience of the Russian economy despite sanctions.

These are frozen foods. Normally we prefer buying the live ones to all these frozen shiits.

I bought other things like chocolate biscuits and some spices too (since there's a 5% discount anyway) but these ones have no price tag on them

Can't attach pics because somehow Nairaland doesn't let me attach more than four pics.

(Extra cost not part of the 9.5k abeg😁)

I already prepared the whole chicken for grilling before I thought of making this thread so I couldn't attach it's price sticker. However it kind of seems like a wild chicken not sure and I have never bothered to ask, I just know that breed of chicken is relatively cheap and it tastes really really really 😋 delicious.

Just write another comment under your post and attach another 4 pictures.
over and over again.

Those braindead ronus will tell you that food in Nigeria is cheaper.

When it comes to food items, Yakutsk, Russia is probably the most expensive city in Russia.

Seven hours ahead of Moscow's time zone, eight hours ahead of Nigeria's, logistics of transporting food to Yakutsk adds up to the cost.

Also, at minus 63 degrees Celsius lowest temp. Yakutsk is the coldest city in the world.
Farmers can only farm for about three months a year and livestock's farming requires considerably high amount of energy to maintain temperature requirements.
These factors ensures that food prices remain high in Yakutsk especially in winter. But how expensive are these food items exactly?

One Turkey leg 108 Rubles About 1,550 in naira

0.5 kg Pig meat 227 Rubles About 3,200 in naira

One Whole chicken about 1.5kg 180 Rubles about 2,550 in naira


0.7kg Onions 66 Rubles About 950 naira

1kg Sweet Potatoes 94 Rubles About 1,350 in naira

Note: that Naira/Rubles exchange rate fluctuates between 14 to 14.5 Naira per Ruble

Also, even though these were the costs of these items, the supermarket still gave me a 5% discount on these items because I have a student ID card.

Note that these I purchased these food items in a retail supermarket. Also, things are expensive in Russia right now dues to sanctions which is the irony of the whole thing.

Despite economic issues and sanctions, Russia is still able to provide a quality standard of living to foreigners and their citizens even in a remote city like our Yakutsk.❤️

Please give me direction to Yakutk. From oshodi which bus I go enter

Halt converting foreign currencies to ours. Naira has no value in the world's market.

This is a country under serious sanctions and also at war on many fronts. Nigeria is not at war, not facing sanctions from any international body but our leaders have sworn to make Nigeria living hell for its citizens while they lavish in opulence.

My No.1 dream country

Better go and Russian army to
fight against Ukraine 🇺🇦 💪

Those braindead ronus will tell you that food in Nigeria is cheaper.

One oponu will not bother to ask why a place where they can only farm for a couple on months in a year is well fed. He will laugh at the mention of agbado and then come online to cry about being hungry.

Reno and APC e-idiots will tell you otherwise, how Omoluabi TIFNUBU has made Nigeria better since 2023

Nigeria died since the day APC took over government.

Do you also like US policy towards her neighbors and the rest of the world? Why is US next door neighbors poor and crime ridden?

Do you like the fact that the US is abusing the dollar to sanction countries that doesn't do it's bidding?

The world came together to agree to use the dollar. Today the US is using it as a weapon to strangle the whole world.

Uganda and so many other countries were sanctioned because they refused to legalize gay rights. Do you also like that?

You don't like Russia because western media brainwashed you to hate them. Russia has never done you or your country any wrong as far as I'm concerned.

The whole of Africa only have good memories of Russia. But you hate them??

Are you one of the braindead ronus?

Russia has a good farm to consumers policy better even than the US, reason why food items are cheap and affordable.

Russia has what ..better than usa , seems u de dream ...which farm Russia get....a place covered in snow most times of the year ..just 5 american farmers ..go feed the whole russia

imbless:

Are you one of the oponu who cannot think beyond your next bowl of akpu?
One of those oponu who think cultivating agbado is demeaning and funny yet come online to cry about the cost of eggs!
Terrible to be an oponu, even monkeys are more resourceful.

What OP never mentioned is that all that is needed to make businesses easier and conducive was effectively and efficiently present!

There is constant electricity...
Accessible roads,unified and affordable taxes,effective security and affordable transport cost!

Agriculture and education is possibly a priority over there which is evident with affordable access to food!

. the world didn't actually come together to adopt USD, USA plotted it and won, good for them

Lies. Read about the Bretton woods agreement.

After WWII, the winners, including Russia met and agreed to use the dollars as the reserve currency since Europe was already destroyed.

Ignorance is a disease

My emphasis was even on farmer to consumer policy

How much for ashawo for Yakutsk

Enjoy your Russia and dont come back.

In summary, Yakutsk, despite being one of the most expensive places in Russia, it's still far cheaper than Nigeria.

Imagine buying a full chicken for ₦2,550 in Yakutsk, while only one egg is ₦300 and a chicken lap is ₦4,000 in Nigeria

A lap of chicken cannot be N4k

I am doing a small party for my staff this Friday and some of the things they bought are whole chicken from Spar and the whole chickem are about N5,500 so how can you say a lap is sold for N4k

M.i.n.u.s. 6.3. ? And YOU are there? I'd rather take novichok.

mushroomFarm:

Well in my opinion maybe population. Yakutsk is the capital city of Yakutia. Yakutia is about three times the size of Nigeria by land mass but less than one million people live in Yakutia. Yakutsk itself has about 350k residents only. Not sure how it adds up but a very beautiful city with low population compared to a place like Nigeria makes living standard very good.
Yakutsk is still expensive though. House rents starts from like 350k a month for good apartments.
Thanks to the Russian government's education system for citizens and foreigners though, I pay less than 18k naira a month for my 24 hours wifi, hot and cold water, electricity dormitory with a washing machine and they change my bed clothing for me twice a month.

I don't think the government is subsidizing anything food here. The only thing they subsidize is fuel for residents of Yakutsk because here in winter people leave their cars running 24/7 otherwise, without a heated car park, once you shut down your car, it freezes and starting it because a problem.

if you leave the car running through out the day, won't it get spoilt from wear and tear

How some of you walk about with empty head and wide mouth is a long story to be told

brain54:
Yakutsk is indeed a unique place...

Inspite of the extreme climate and remote location food items are quite cheap.

Nice.

In your opinion what's the reason for cheap cost of food items?

Are there subsidies on food products?

it's obvious there is subsidies on food and is not only in Russia most of the western world subsidies food items.. only in Nigeria food are on high side because there is nothing this govt of the day all APC istration is subsidizing for us .. satanic set of people .. the only thing they are subsidizing is PMS now they have remove it also so what do we expect ... una never see anything very soon 1kg of turkey go hit 20k with the way this country is going and they will come deceive the gullible plp that they reforming the system

RealityKings1:
It appears things are much cheaper in Nigeria when you calculate it

He bought all that for 9,500 can you buy those things in Nigeria with the same price? How much is a whole chicken in Nigeria?
