No Nigerian Should Complain Of Hunger Because We Have Farmlands, Rain From God – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has told Nigerians to be willing to farm what they would eat or starve to death, stating that no one has the right to complain of hunger in Nigeria.

Buhari stated this on Wednesday in an interview with Tambarin Hausa TV, a Kano State-based media, that despite the floods that had devastated farming communities, Nigeria could still feed itself.

He added that one of the policies he undertook upon assuming office in 2015 was to block the Nigerian borders from food importation and force people back to farm.

He said, “I took that decision to stop rice importation and said we should farm what we eat or die of hunger.”

“I said that since we have farm land and God has blessed us with rain, what reason does a Nigerian have to say he’s hungry?”

“If you are hungry, go to the farm. I’m aware that floods have ravaged some farmlands this season but we are still selling rice made in Nigeria, and we can feed ourselves. Is that not an achievement?”

“We have workers who left their air-conditioned offices and went into farming, and they had bounty harvests. So, we are grateful.”

Meanwhile, banditry, insurgency, and other criminal activities have driven thousands of farmers from their fields during the last seven years of Buhari government, as insecurity envelops vast swaths of ungoverned space across Nigeria, particularly in the North.

For instance, in November 2020, now fewer than 110 farmers were murdered by Boko Haram terrorists in northern Borno, according to the United Nations.

It was also learnt that many villagers in northern states such as Niger, Kaduna, and Katsina pay taxes to bandits and insurgents in order to work peacefully on their farms.

APC is a punishment sent from hell.

.

I blame that sick old Baba Pampers for foisting this disaster on us. &he still has the effrontery to be shouting emilokan for our votes instead of first apologising to Nigerians for the 8years of untold hardship & suffering the Buhari regime he midwifed has brought upon Nigerians.

Majority of Buhari's critics are functional illiterates. They lack knowledge and understanding. Buhari has done so much with the little money we have.

President Muhammadu Buhari has declared that Nigerians have no reason to complain that they are hungry.

His words: “Since we have farm land and God has blessed us with rain, what reason does a Nigerian have to say he’s hungry? If you are hungry, go to the farm.”

Thank you Sai Baba.

Everyone have been striving to survive without him helping matters instead still eating from those farmers he's talking about now, our money kept him alive, let him know that.

APC under whose watch the country has become a shadow of herself is now presenting a pampers wearing bamboo coming as the presidential candidate, are they planning the final burial for the country?

The only reason Buhari wants you to farm is to provide food for cows as his Fulani herdsmen won't allow you harvest the farm products.

Manjo, just do your final service to the north and evacuate for Atiku You've done your bit.


Atiku is coming

Consequences of electing a president that thinks only in one direction...

Linda11:
Have we been begging from you all this while

All Nigerians begged him for was a better Nigeria but he failed

madridguy:

It is funny right?

As we speak now Buhari you foisted on Nigerians is sleeping in foreign hospital while so many Nigerians has bn displaced by the flood.

No empathy, federal delegates to console the victims.

Yes o

Is buhari stupid or are Nigerians stupid.
If this is a sane country ,people would have overthrown or defeated the government in 2019 polls.
When u cannot provide security to people who want to farm and who are killed by your fulani herdsmen,bandits , u are stupidly boasting.

Buhari and his like minded people are a curse to humanity

Very true. I wonder why Nigerians would complain of food inflation after the government distributed ₦500m to every youth just last year to start mechanised farming.

tofolo:
you go to the farm and get kidnapped who pays ransom?

jditimiya:


Excuse me sir, you mean EVERY YOUTH! Hope i am my brothers and friends i know are not among the youths. Kia, learn to speak when you know the truth.

Cantonese:


Fine.
Now tell us how much you received as a youth from that N500m to start mechanised farming.

The us what you farm, where you farm and how profitable your farming venture has been.

Why do Nairalanders have so very low perception of SARCASM unless it's accompanied by laughter emojis?

Kaiser20:

You see why you remain seria, #7 billion is allocated for Aso Rock villa maintenance in 2023, while #500m to all the youths in Nigeria for farming

Please shut up and blame your lack of detecting sarcasm instead.

Exactly. All these poor people complaining of hardship should go back to their villages to farm.

may your life and that of your generations be managed the way buhari managed Nigeria Isha Allah.

You can see the daft and illiterate man ruling Nigeria. See what is coming out from the mouth of a supposed President! Same man saying we should eat home grown foods and closed down the borders doesn't use our hospitals here even after saying no Nigerian government official will travel out for medical tourism. Buhari, APC and their ers hypocrisy stinks to high heavens.

Buhari is truly incompetent and indifferent to the plight of Nigerians.

chaiii, I dont blame the dullard, I blame the sophisticated idiots that voted him twice.

This is just so funny

APC is a sentence sent from hell

Buhari

Nigeria from Top to bottom

Buhari no send Nigerians walahi! Very wicked and heart less human.

I wonder oo,

did boko haram also sack you from your farmland

And plant Agbado
Nigerians don see wahala for Buhari hand, but that will be child's play if Tinubu finds his crooked way to Aso rock.
Na shege una go see.

Thunder scatter all agbadorians insha Allah

The worst decision we will make in 2023 is to vote APC again...

This same Buhari has ruled Nigeria for 7 years but couldn't build a hospital that can treat him.

We joke a lot in this country
