Its called , Abacha. The last time I was in Nigeria, I was practically chasing Abacha sellers down the street in order to buy.Now, checking the local Facebook Market, I came across this post from a seller in my neighborhood.A plate of Abacha for $60? I think this is over the top and we like to hike the prices of our goods wherever we find ourselves.What so you think? Is this price reasonable ?3 Likes 1 Share (Share⤴)Re: Will You Buy This Food For $60? by dollytino4real(f): 10:32pm On Aug 1172k for abacha wen dem dey do 4 my backyard?
