Hauwa Indimi-Yar'adua, the daughter of billionaire oil entrepreneur Mohammed Indimi, has expressed regret about the nation's soaring food prices.

The cosmetologist posted a photo of a little basket of tomatoes that she said she bought for N8,000 in Abuja on her verified Instagram account, claiming that she is "still not over it yet."

She captioned the photo of the basket of tomatoes in her Instagram stories, writing, "I dispatched my staff to the market and as of Monday, this is N8k tomatoes. Still not over it," she penned on July 3 in a message.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria, some housewives in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, reportedly stopped using tomatoes for stew and other sauces due to the high cost of tomatoes.

Additionally, some locals admitted that they have taken to making stew out of garden carrots and eggplants. They said that garden eggs, also known as "ganyen gauta" in Hausa, "igba" in Yoruba, and "anyara" in Igbo, could combine with rice just like tomatoes.

Others claimed they were looking at alternatives to tomato stew, such as pumpkin, pawpaw, or traditional soups like white soup and palm fruit soup, also known as banga.
