The head of policy think tank IMANI Africa has generated a buzz on social media platform Facebook over the price of Nido, a powdered milk product.
According to Cudjoe, a tin of 400g Nido which was recently sold to him at GHC20 now sells at GHC34.99. "What is going on, " he quizzed. "Obviously the Nido micro and macro fundamentals are very weak."
However, some saw his post as politically motivated in an attempt to rundown the government's economic performance. They pointed it out to him that the price varies depending on where you buy the product from.
Presidential staffer, Evron R. Hughes, in a post on Facebook said he bought the milk product at GHc29.00, 17% less than the same product Mr Cudjoe bought at GHc34.99.
He noted: "Dear Franklin Cudjoe, So, I just stepped out to go get myself some NIDO a few minutes ago. "As you can see from the time stamp, I bought it at 22:08:25pm (I've just arrived home). "The receipt also shows I bought it from no less a place as the PREMIUM Airport Shell Shop. "Cost? A grand GHc29.00, 17% LESS than your GHc34.99."
Meanwhile other Facebook users have been sharing the amount they bought their Nido tin.
"I live in upper east sandema it's solid at 25 cedis with all the transportation and other related cost," a user posted.
"Myself and Abdul-Hak Adebayor went to Malamata market to get NIDO. We bought it for 25 cedis. I am sure Franklin Cudjoe got his for 34 cedis because he is a Think Tank boss and we are ordinary citizens," another user posted.

NPP supporters can tickle themselves, You are not getting what the man is saying,those quoting Cedis 29.00 / 25.00 and so no. How much was those prices at the same shops a month or two ago? i believe the price was less than today. Prices of goods and services has generally gone up in this country. Mr. Cudjoe is 100% right.
i think the picture am seeing is fortigrow which is 1 + for kids its quiet cheaper than the normal adult one please go to citydia and find out the price of nido for yourself
Please let's be fair to the man. Franklin may have goofed on this one but he is no NDC assign. He is too serious minded to be associating with and doing the bidding of the opposition NDC.
Franklin Cudjoe continuing the fight left incomplete by Prof. Awoonor and Koku Anyidoho. He seems to be discomforted and dejected sincec the NDC lost power and has decided to do everything possible to discredit NPP. He is a known NDC pretending to be an independent think-tank. I hope IMANI board will take action to redeem their almost lost image caused by this small boy with sharp teeth.
i bought my 20.50 at Chorkor
ooh o God has see you shame think tank or think ton NDC bought man ***barred word*** man he wanted to this and when NPP talk he will say when he was talking to us is fine cheap man
Mr Cudjoe, you just arrived from a trip from overseas,items are normally expensive at airport shops than at the normal markets so this cannot be a classical case for a think tank to put forward.I think my Cudjoe is walking encyclopedia with ***barred word*** knowledge.In other parts of Africa,Europe and America when think tanks talk,they come with concrete and specific evaluated situation which nobody can challenge.This IMANI think tanks are becoming a political wing of their desire party.
am enjoying this. lETS BE TRUTHFUL AND NOT JUST POLITICKING TO MAKE THE GOVT LOOK BAD ALTHOOUGH YOU TELLINGS. NEXT ITEM AND WE WILL BRING THE RECEIPTS LIARS
