People who are saying plant ur own crops have neva been in a farm,we still use crude implements,government is not helping by providing modern equipment,not to talk of the herdsmen and kidnapping and the low quality seeds we use,compared to genetically superior seeds of the west,if government is serious they will start helping farmers, no they will rather steal and blame the citizens

You can plant your own food.
I will never stop shouting this. Yes you can't plant everything but you can plant some. I'm currently at an agricultural conference is Scotland now and we in Africa, na mouth naim we just get. We have not even started, in fact, we are not even in the race! Na private farms dey feed nation. Everything you buy, you will see 'proudly from Scottish farms', or 'ing Scottish businesses' stamped on them. Government will never come and farm for you. Agricultural sector is the only sector that has the capacity to drive every other sector of the economy, ignore at your own peril. All these folks building hotels and filling stations upandan, can't you set up farms? Huge mechanised farms? Family owned business that will supply big supermarkets! I see cows wey be like elephant abi hippopotamus I silent. See livestock! Whereas, Our fulani are still busy using their lean hungry cows to cause nuisance and havoc upandan. Chai, who do us?

I have advocated for this, my mouth done tire, though right now I am now in the livestock value chain and we making good money, however there are many areas that are untapped very very virgin! Investors are also a problem, they are always looking for quick returns, pushing all of us from production to processing, since production is unpredictable while processing gives quicker returns

But I'll be never e understand the need for creating this kinda thread as I've seen 100000 of this in the last two weeks

We can't pray for you
We can't pay for you
We've always complained about it


What do we do about this now

Is there anywhere in the world where you got the same quantity of food same price as last year .


This is not just Nigeria....

If the forest is safe a lot of people will migrate to farming.

But right now even farmers in the villages have abandoned their farm.

May unfortunate events follow any government appointee who talks that "Grow your food nonsense"

It's important we keep talking about the situation of the country as some of you never experience this sort of thing.

Nobody is interested in the effect of the hardship on the citizen in the next 5 years ,many people are going to sure die due to long term of eating malnourished food

You have a good point. Agriculture is next to oil in revenue generation. I always like people like you who explore opportunities outside Nigeria. Many have that money but will only spend it on frivolities,gambling, carrying oloshos and buying cars back home.

In conferences lie opportunities that nobody can take away from you. Nigerians are so weak in this area. That said, we have a hostile government who cares only for themselves while pretending to care about the people. People like you should be encouraged with Agricultural loan through the bank of agriculture but the government won't do that. They'd rather dispatch such loans to governors in various states, those who would give a fraction of it to those they know and pocket the rest. We're in a great mess in Nigeria, unless something drastically possible is done.

They just don't care about the masses. I Hope you have access to credit facilities in order to bring your visions to fruition when you return home. Good luck!

That's 275% inflation!

If we go by this food inflation for you alone, minimum wage should be increased to #112,500.

Anything less than #100,000 as minimum wage is best described as "Slave Wage".

yyba:
that is very cheap, here half of it is #9700 and we are not complaining

my brother,it's time we stop fooling around

God bless you Ma'am.
You know we have entitled Mentality,as a People.
But seriously,we refused to know that some Fundamental things are wrong since the 1963 Independence,e g where are the Cocoa Production from the West, the Groundnuts Pyramids,the Palm-Production,etc!
Since our State Governments refused to Farm, except the Oyo State in recent times, Individuals should embark on big time Farming, although we still need Capital!
Two weeks ago,a lady challenge me that she wants to start Fish Farming and within three days, she started it right away at her backgrounds.
We should not be lazy ,as most the lands in East,West and Southern parts are just left fallow!

Emilokan government has caused alot of inflationary spiral by the dints of its harsh economic policies beyond its control.

vikstandon:



The same government that takes over Agro Lands for building estates and sharing it among the elites, all in the name that government owns lands.

You bought land for agro business. Government comes to destroy settlement and arable lands.
Our leaders aren't progressive.

Ignore that clown! Did they tell you fulanis attack and kill farmers in Scotland. Someone will just be coming up with silly, irrelevant analogies.

I am so sorry but with how you reason that conference is just a waste of time for someone like you. I also live in the west I can tell you for a fact that population of farmers responsible for feeding counties like , Netherlands, or Belgium are less than the total number of farmers we have in Nigeria. Subsistence farming can not feed a nation. In the aforementioned countries mechanised farming is the way.

How did they do?

Government involvement, how?

1. For instance some crops are highly subsidised to ensure that farmers are not out competed by foreign farmers. In Belgium importing Apple from South Africa or grapes from south America is cheaper than cultivating it in Belgium. As a result the government do provide monetary rewards to those farmers so as to sell at very low price to be able to compete. Please I am not sure which of the farm produces in Nigeria that government is subsidising in Nigeria at moment?
2. Access to loans to buy machinery for farming is readily available. I am not sure how easy it will be for a farmer in Nigeria to source loan to buy the type of machine required to farm in a large scale.

Please our government still has a lot to put in place before we can take our agriculture production to the level of the western world. Please stop trying to be smart by half.

Rapmoney:
There is this local restaurant I used to eat any time I visit Warri. Omo, na so I enter Mama Teguolo restaurant say make I chop. The food I bought (based on low budget) cost N1500. This is the same food I used to buy by this time last year for N400. The inflation rate in Nigeria is really terrible.

For those people who like screaming, 'Plant your own food, plant your own food', I guess we should also rear our own cattle, goats, sheep, ram, chickens, etc and also refine our own crude oil, manufacture our own cars all in our backyard. We should also look for ways to generate our own electricity individually because the electricity that is given to us is costly.

It is shameful that there are Nigerian youths who still give excuses on behalf of the government. Sometimes, I wonder the essence of education to the Nigerian youth when they make cases for people whose corrupt practices have destroyed the economy and social life of the citizens.

Oga no dey disturb us. Na d amount wey u sell one tuber of yam from your farm 4yrs ago wey u dey sell am now?

O hate those neutral people brain-dead agbadorians...those neutral people are the real snakes

Same here.

Many of these Neutralists will Tell you PETER OBI is same with Tinibu and Atiku.

But Why can't they just Give him a Chance to see Whether he will Fail or Not?

Truth is Many of them are Actually Y0rubas who knew Tinibu will FAIL MISERABLY as President but couldn't bring themselves to ing Obi or Atiku. 😒😒

Big liar,won't people call u stupid if u spent 1500 on that and ended up drinking pure water.not even bottled water of 5h,ypu are a big liar.ole. the food u have thr doesn't exceed 7h
