Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has countered claims that Nigeria’s acceptance of grains from Ukraine reflects the country’s failure.

Naija News reports that Idris made this known on Tuesday at the event organised by the Leadership Group, in Abuja.

The minister noted that is a regular norm because countries exist to depend on one another.

He said, “Egypt gets about 60 per cent of its grains from Ukraine. The fact that Egypt gets about 60 per cent of its grains from Ukraine does not make it a failed state.

“The fact that we are having challenges at the moment does not make Nigeria a failed state.

“Therefore, accepting grains from Ukraine does not make Nigeria or Egypt failed countries.

“It is a normal thing, because countries exist to depend on one another.”

The minister also itted that Nigeria is facing some challenges, and President Bola Tinubu knows them.

According to Idris, despite the current challenges, the economic growth of Nigeria is on track and has continued to improve.

He added, “Nigerians voted for Tinubu with the deeper understanding and conviction that he has the capacity to turn things around for the better; and that is what he is doing.

“Some of the decisions he has taken were to ensure that Nigeria finds its place in the comity of nations.

“The decisions include removal of fuel subsidy and addressing the issue of foreign exchange and many others.

“In spite of the current challenges, the economic growth of Nigeria is on track and has continued to improve.

“He has not stopped at that. Just last week, President Tinubu went to Qatar to attract more businesses and investments into Nigeria.

“We are optimistic that soon, what we are ing through will be a thing of the past and Nigeria will be better.”

Una go explain tire
Doesn't change the fact that Tinubu is a worst disaster than Buhari

No matter the kind of grammar you blow it is really a huge mess on Nigeria.
A nation deep into war that is receiving help from virtually every nation in europe sends grains to help the giant of africa from ebbinpawa.
Maybe gaza will be next to send corn.

Reno hits the mark again. He is also right about Peter Obi's tummy filled with Ukrainian wheats from his travel to Egypt.

Failed state

It actually means that Tinubu is working afterall Egypt and other European countries receives grains from war-torn Ukraine

Martinsmine:
Failed state

You can always move to Niger Republic

Ofunaofu:

It means Peter Obi the agulu messiah is daft for trying to misinform Nigerians for cheap political gains.

When will Nigeria come to with reality, Nigeria should be giving aid to war torn country not taking aid from it

Slytiger:

It means Peter Obi the agulu messiah is daft.

And it also means that a psychiatrist hospital should be your abode not Nairaland

You need to get yourself checked bro.

Ofunaofu:

After you check yourself in first. Most likely why the FG is building 15 psychiatry hospitals in your region. Afterall na Peter Obi dey take advice from mad man.

Bitter Obi does not know anything only seeks to be sensational

The grains were from UNFWA towards IDPs and displaced people
Ukraine has excess grains which they supply to the UN and they distribute globally

Slytiger:

Get your self checked

Peter Obi matter is making you run mad

Ofunaofu:

Peter Obi matter is making you run mad

Bleep Peter Obi the agulu messiah. While the only thing we can in his istration is hero beer factory, his mates like Sanwo Olu are commissioning rail lines

Let us not forget he said education is not for the porr during his tenure when he was asked why he increased school fees. He was also busy buying coscharis ford cars for senators and Igwes.

Peter obi can only fool his illiterate Obidients

Egypt is buying wheat from Ukraine while Nigeria is getting it for free.

Ukraine that is at war is farming and harvesting while Nigeria gave fulani herdsmen immunity to be attacking farmers is normal.

Slytiger:

Bleep Peter Obi the agulu messiah. While the only thing we can is istration for his hero beer factory, his mates like Sanwo Olu are commissioning rail lines

I understand your frustrations

This over desperation of Obi in having opinions on every matter in an attempt to stay relevant will be the end of him.

Una dey craze

D

Nothing works here. This is d fist time Nigeria ministers are made up of 90% mediocres.


Tinubu is on a mission to destroy Nigeria.

Shamelessness is the new bragging rights. A country with arable lands, enough water and next to zero climate issues is saying this.


Let's continue please

"Nigeria is on track to development...The president travelled to attract foreign investors into the country...bla bla bla"
That is how Lie Mohammed deceived himself and the dullard-in-chief, Buhari for 8 years. Not an inch of progress was made anywhere!

You really can't shame the shameless...



APC ntooor!!!

Despite war...Ukraine still have enough to give My Country that is not fighting war...what an Irony

I thought they said apc don't reply to Peter obi. The guy really hit them were it hurts and I really want to see the look on tinupoo gbajue face 👀👀😂😂

so dis useless lots truly collected grains from Ukraine Jez like Obi insinuated?

War torn county donating food to the country that launched the largest rice pyramid in the world.

They are no more batified but now HUNGRIFIED.

APC na scam.

You can't shame the shameless

Chai the fear of Peter obi is the beginning of wisdom, just because of what the man said, every APC man have been shivering to respond and explain... unah go explain tire

You can't enter a house through window and begin to sweep it and say you are on the right side of the law.



Tinubu though ruling a country is like ruling a state. That's why he grabbed it, snatched and ran away with it thinking he is smart.


Na statistics we go chop has cause a lot of confusion in the camp of political rascals.


Taking from a country that we suppose to help tell you that something is not right in this country.
