Buying Foodstuff In Lagos : Seafood + Fresh Produce + Imported Food

[@themmylovato5355]

Why are market vlogs so addictive? It’s therapeutic af!!

[@ugonnaaguocha868]

Very! Especially if you’re in the diaspora, very nostalgic.

[@hannahn7375]

Oh My Gosh!!! Somebody take me to that's seafood market ASAP. Sisi ooo, you're bargaining like a rich woman 🤣🤣🤣. You tried though. But practice more. This is how my grandma taught me: When a seller says an item is say 100, divide that by 2, that's 50 then add like 10 and begin bargaining from 60. Always bargain with a smile and be jovial with the seller. Increase your amount little by little and even pretend to walk away. Usually you can get that 100 naira item for 70, or 75 . Also my Dad taught me this one: , if you're buying a lot of items from the same seller, just ignore the individual prices they tell you. Just gather all your items and offer the seller a wholesale price. They usually accept because you're buying a lot at the same time. I saw my dad pay about 50% below market rate in some London tourists market and I always use this especially at tourist markets because everything there is 1000% overpriced. Its also worked for me in Aba markets. Good luck. I enjoyed watching you as usual.

[@TOA234]

You are a very respectful and kind lady. I’m amazed at the way you say thank you to everyone. As for bargaining, don’t let people make you feel bad. Just take it as if you are tipping them. God will continue to replenish your pocket…these market vlogs make me miss home sooo much, thanks for sharing.

[@memeoti6266]

God bless the farmers and market workers 🙏🏽❤️

[@damilola732]

Your bargain at the sea food/fruitmarket(Vi) no be am😅infact you didn’t bargain at all..But you did good with the pepper(epe market). It’s asif you always pity them so you try not to slash the price too much.😅I like the fact that you say “thank you” at the end of every bargain.To be honest bargaining can be stressful especially when you’re all sweaty and uncomfortable.

[@ayodejiodunsi8617]

You just spoke my mind so no need retyping...lol

You can use it to make pumpkin soup. You need: olive oil, small onion, chopped . Butternut pumpkin, peeled, de-seeded and roughly cubed. Small red capsicum, de-seeded and diced A few springs of thyme and parsley. Vegetable stock Salt and freshly ground black pepper. You can add meat , fish any choice you like Directions Heat the 2tbs of olive oil in a large pan, add onion, pumpkin, red capsicum and herbs , cover and cook for 10minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the stock, then bring to the boil, lower the heat and simmer for 30-35 minutes until tender. Cool slightly, remove the herbs and then purée in a food processor or with a hand blender. Season well, re- heat add meat of your choice and serve.

Sisi yemmie buys with her eyes, once she sees it, she wants it. And she is the type of buyer that sellers like, the seller suggests a product to the buyer and buyer says bring it. These buyers contribute to the economy very well

[@delsynn]

Sisi yemmie, those seeds aren’t coriander. They’re fennel seeds. They have a liquorice like flavour much like aniseed!

[@aniefioknsikan-abasi6363]

It’s the way you say ‘ you like money too much’ for mee😂😂… Video was satisfying to watch😍

[@bridgetchigozie4685]

There’s something about Sisyemis market vlogs 😍 very satisfying 🙏🏾😇 Blessings

[@CrystalDanielle]

Wow im so amazed by the mildred angels store, its like a mini sams club or costco. I would love to go there.

[@josephineaji]

Nigeria local buying and selling, that jara must be there all the time😀😀😀I miss Naija sha

[@Idojournal]

I so enjoyed this market vlog, got to see the seafood sellers after years. When I was in Nigeria, I used Butternut squash a lot mostly roasting in the oven and adding to salads

[@ChisomUtazi]

I wish i could get sea food like this here Looks so nice

[@olayemicooking]

Next time when they tell you price divid it by 2 if it is 2000 you will start with 1000 the next you will hear is no I can sell for 1000 they will give another price 1800 you will tell they 1200.This remind me of when I used to help my grandmother to sell truck of tomatoes in basket. Old memories

[@Ojuolape_space]

Typical Nigeria price divid method 🙄 🤣

[@hannahn7375]

You sabi well my dear.

[@theladyheritage]

Wow, thanks...

[@tobbysanusi7715]

Abi from 2k to 800 sef😅 Laslas we go drag am reach 1100

[@Brenda90210]

More of this kind of videos please 💕 loving it ! We are relocating to Lagos in December! I really appreciate learning where to buy things ! I immediately search every shop’s Instagram pages ! Thank you so much ! ❣️

[@remiperry7539]

The vegetables seller knows how to sell, she is good in what she does .

[@adammagraceokoroafor7914]

Sis Yemi , you’re not even bargerning with u just buy without prise

[@peoplesperson4132]

The market looks clean imo compared to other markets

[@aliceadeyi2559]

Try shopping in Jos, compared to this , you would think everything is at a giveaway price😂. But location is another thing to consider.

[@dorisogogo6794]

Sisiyemmie you've really learnt to haggle prices o...The cost of food in Nigeria leaves one with no choice. Those seeds you held in a small plate are so good for seasoning beef and making jollof rice, they have this mintlike flavor. That local food market you went to is my plug for buying pepper and tomatoes, I wonder why I didn't go there when you were going o so I can meet you. Anyway it's too far off and the roads are tighter due to construction. I found a new market closer where they sell pepper, tomatoes, yam etc at cheaper rates. It's after Bogije just before Beachwood estate. Try it the next time you want to buy foodstuff for less.

[@chinwendueze1681]

Your mannarism and elegance always stand out sisi...no vawulent pricing 😂 at all.. Great content as always 👍

[@s.p.i.c.e113]

When I heard you price that potato N1600 and say “do me customer naauuu”, I smiled and thought ‘that’s my girl!’ 😂😂😂😂😂❤️

[@preciouslove1521]

The market looks clean without flies. Thanks for sharing

[@lanitabennett5375]

Hello Sisi!! Beautiful photography and video💯💯💯 I miss shopping in Lagos the best fresh vegetables ever!💗💗

[@ifeoluwaoyawale5973]

I really enjoyed this video. Spring onion, Irish potato and other veggies are quite expensive in Lagos, If you don't mind I can be sending them to you in Lagos from Plateau , they are very cheap here.

[@margaretakpan5548]

I am interested in this. Can I get your contact please?

[@dinewithsue6793]

Thats fennel seeds hun. has a strong fragrant and has a minty, liquorish taste. I love cooking with it. Apparently chewing it helps clear mouth odour to. coriander seeds are round and brownish ::)

[@Ojuolape_space]

I enjoy sisi yummie market shopping vlog.

[@itohanstephen]

Sisi yemmie please we need pumpkin and butternut squash recipes. Thank you in advance

[@celebceleb82]

This video is therapeutic for me.

[@thandi44]

That market had the freshest produce. We don't have a lot of those markets here, but I'm addicted to these videos 😊

[@omobolanlereachel9004]

I love the way you price foodstuffs 💪👍🏾😁

[@joyafolabi5455]

This was really interesting to watch🥰 sisi yemmie can you please make a video on how you store peppers and tomatoes you bought in large quantities 🙏🙏

[@anaveragejoe6710]

The market is beautiful and Lagos is a beautiful city !

[@cindyj80]

Thank you Sisi Yemmie. Totally enjoyed this video. Market runs can be exhausting but good to sort it out at once. I would love to have the contact of the seafood (prawn) seller, the man in the purple shirt. Thanks

[@Yangagirltv]

See all the fresh food👍👍👍

[@Chiview389]

Wow i love all the sea food i saw there in the market lovely.Nice video

[@celebceleb82]

I see people commenting that sisi yemmie didn't price well, but things are very very expensive in Nigeria now I live where I feel food stuff are cheaper ( because we have a hub market where trucks drops vegetables,pepper in large quantity close to my house)but most things I buy here now with what sisiyemmie bought are almost the same. No much difference at all except for the 1k watermelon though

[@abigailazemard3661]

I love it when Didi Yemmie says thank you.sending love from Liberia west Africa

[@TAMMYMARKY]

For the fresh tomatoes and pepper you did great there.😊

[@yvonneanonyuo5110]

Hello sisiyemmi, wanted to know the name of the big supermarket, the inside ikota shopping complex, were they sell things in bulk, which road number in ikota.

[@preciouslove1521]

You did really well. I like the way you approach the traders. Stay blessed

[@julianahmodupe6851]

Thanks Sisi Yemmie, so refreshing to see the fruits and vegetables.

[@vivianreginalds]

Market vlogs are my best

[@okolieamarachi9317]

The way Sisi Yemi says you too like money cracks me up every time 🤣🤣🤣

[@TapchinE]

Sisi yemi actually did well today. You did well in pricing.

[@didiibinola]

Lagos is an expensive place to live sha. 80% of these veggies are grown in Plateau State, Nigeria

[@PRUNELLE-qx2uv]

So refreshing to see this fresh vegetables and fruits

[@rachaelschannel544]

I like seeing market runs Everything is so fresh Thank you for sharing

[@shobayoololade6366]

Welldone Sisi Yemmie, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Shopping at local markets can be very exhausting. Great job!

[@xoxo_mia5460]

The ingredients section caught my attention very presentable greeting from Asia

[@fredahoney6555]

Yes Oyingbo markets fresh foodstuffs, makoko markets for seafood,mile 12 fresh foodstuff too

[@hadleyoritsejaro8382]

Nice shopping spree!

[@abigailorusa4834]

Love your shopping video

[@veronicaa.1496]

Love the market shopping. Thank you for taking us along. Everything is so fresh at the Epe market and I appreciate the varieties at the first market.

[@olarewajutitilayo3462]

things are not that expensive here in Ota ogun state. however you may not see those varieties of sea food in Ota. but the pepper and other things are far cheaper here

[@toyinadebiyi779]

Well, it depends on the part of Ota..I still prefer the prices and varieties available at Lagos

[@okolieamarachi9317]

Oh about that pumpkin, we have that in our farm at home here but ours is usually green. I love the Igbo name. Sounds funny to me everytime. It's amazing how my mum makes use of the leaves as well for porridge

[@ifyvivian6421]

The igbo name is anyu right? 🤣

[@nkoliuz]

Hi Sisi yemmie, pls what is the name of the market at Epe. I'd like to go there. Things are actually cheap, there, compared to my area.

[@dorisogogo6794]

Don't go too far, there's a new market like that after Bogije, it's near Beachwood estate.

[@Mmakwena_]

I love these Market shopping videos.

[@kareemahahmad897]

Yes there is popular hausa mia ( soup) that it's eaten with masa. It's cooked with pumpkin puree and spinach

[@inceejigini9284]

Sisi yemmie's market vlogs gets me all the time. Honestly, you made me proud with your bargaining at the Epe market, i was shocked to see such fresh produce sold so cheaply. I told myself" if i move to Lagos, I'd be visiting this market regularly" , the basket of tomatoes you got for #900 would be gotten at #2000 or more here in portharcourt. As for the seafood market, well your bargaining was not so great. I look forward to see what you'll be using the parsley,squash and pumpkin to prepare.

[@judithbalchin6777]

I use the pamkin to thicken soups so good

[@Ojuolape_space]

Is good you are greatful to God. I love your market vlog o

[@ummakaltumeobande2952]

In the North pumpkin is used for a very delicious hausa soup called miyan taushe.

[@rosettapaul9367]

Sisi Yemmie ,the big red peppers you bought, are they ata rodeo, tatase or the special red peppers with a lovely smell and flavor? I am looking for the last one I listed. In ep #130 ,I watched you buy that peeper in Oct 2018. I took screen shots . I have been looking for those peppers all over the world. I want them so bad. I ‘d like to ask a favor from you. Can you get me the local name and the scientific name for them please ,for me in the USA? Can you send me some seeds in the USA ?. Do you know any person or store that can ship dried fish and shrimp and egusi to me in the U SA? The ones we get here are not pure , sometimes rotten . I will pay for DHL shipping. Thanks

[@Le-anne1303]

Everything fresh❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙌

[@ifeoluwamelaye2322]

Ma, you did an excellent bargaining job at the epe market

[@ginikanwaeze4824]

I had to comment twice when I heard you say you're cutting cost😃😃. You're still far from cutting cost o Sisi Yemmie 😃

[@mamaafrica1]

Nice shopping with fresh sea stuff.

[@LifewiththeOkpalas]

Oh! How I miss naija shopping!

[@norbertnduka8594]

'you like money too much' ...😂😂. Sisi yemmie, great stuff from you! I miss organic food. The items look so fresh and inviting!

[@annodili1033]

More of this please..Its so interesting

[@aishasuleiman7197]

We use pumpkins mostly in groundnut soup

[@lillian2396]

That spice in the container was fennel. Very aromatic and it’s good for digestive tea 🍵 and few with hot water and voila indigestion problem I solved. If pregnant I don’t think you should use ask your doctor 👩‍⚕️

[@judithbalchin6777]

Same with the butternut squash too even for stews

[@bebemama9485]

The veggie prices are super good and cheap,I wish there's one of such in Ilorin

[@tosinaroyehun5260]

Sisi please can you make a list of all the places you went to on this vlog for those of us that want to visit Lagos

[@MetroPcs-qs5ql]

At the end od the day the seller does what with the produce? Pack and go home? I am so jealous of those giant prawns. In my area we can only get prawn imported and farm raised. No bigger than 4 in.

[@omolade9338]

Small fresh produce, small fine veggies/fruit/fish, Sisi Yemmie is sold.

[@aprilsideas]

The name of that cheap market almost at epe is kara market. I visit the place myself for my foodstuff and I am usually blown away at how much I save

[@omotayofelicia5182]

I'm a new subscriber to your channel, and I love your shopping skills, they're so amazing! Please ma, kindly drop the name and location of the foreign supermarket you visited last in this vlog, thanks.

[@kareemahahmad897]

I get fresh, parsley, celery and other herbs and root vegetables here too.

[@hamidahali1234]

Good evening sis. Super,great efforts,u can get ur kuka powder at a very cheap price with d best quality in Jos. U can also get all ur fresh n healthy veggies,fresh potapoes in Jos,Plateau state.

[@Ojuolape_space]

Fresh sea foods!!! The fruits are fresh and well arrange

[@funmiazeez9088]

Nice shopping, but next time try ayetoro in epe for sea foods instead of VI, those prices are on the high side and I think is the location. Enjoy dear
