Former presidential aide, Doyin Okupe has proffered a solution of home-grown vegetables amidst the soaring prices of tomatoes.
As prices for basic commodities like rice, beans, maize, plantains, and tomatoes continue to rise, many Nigerians are feeling the pinch in their daily expenses.
The politician suggested a cost-effective alternative for homegrown tomatoes: using sacks.
However, his suggestion did not sit well with Nigerians as many took to the comment section to blast him.
