The well-balanced diet food type is kind of expensive.

There's garri the high carbohydrates based staple food which is almost affordable by a lot of families. But most protein-rich food eg. meat, fish, etc are a bit more expensive that some families only get to have them once a week especially on Sundays.

I guess you are a Nigerian too. Even Garri price is rising. I don't know where this country is moving. The cost of living is too high. As a student, you have to work part-time because your parents cant definitely cater for all your needs. This has led to increase in crime rates and diminished the reputation of our country

No no how much money is "expensive" is my question. Expensive to one area is not always so expensive to another. I'm curious what expensive means in your area.

Ok. Most food more than $5 USD is regarded as not for the common folks. The government minimum wage is less than $100 USD per month to give you a perspective on things.

So ... One steemit post is a ton of money for people where you are from.

The minimum wage is a joke. Yes, a steemit can go a long way in improving the lives of people here. I just hope many of them join. Just that many are a bit cautious of anything done online due to losses incurred in a recent failed ponzi scheme just like all ponzi usually end.

Does this have something to do with the pursuit of cash crops impacting the availability of native crop diversity?

No, the country is over dependent on fossil fuel exploration. So other things like agriculture are relegated to the background. In the '70s, agriculture was the mainstay of the country with us exporting a lot of cash crops like cocoa, groundnut, palm oil, etc. But the oil - black gold or curse (depending on who you ask) is like a virus that had spread and infected and crippled other sectors of the economy.

That is quite unfortunate and ironic given the huge role fossil fuels play in modern agriculture at every step of the process.

You know there's more money there which appears to be easy to grab. Suddenly, agriculture does not look attractive again. Many will look at you as a poor person who'd gone crazy if you say you are a farmer. But if you work in an oil company, even as a janitor :) you are the man! It's sad but true situation of things.

That's a good summary of how most of the world got into this current predicament.

I guess we never really learn from history. So we are destined to repeat it.
