He is dealing with Nigerian's mercilessly and they deserve it. Nigerian's hate when someone is good to them, they hate success, they deserve this from his istration. Nonsense and ingredients!

are you not a Nigerian or you are from Gabon, we all vote him together if you say you didn't vote, that means you are our main problem

VTJN:
people never complained of hardship nor hunger during Jonathan government. Yes people may complain for some other things but not hunger. Not hardship. A bag of rice was 8k and someone on minimum wage can afford to buy 2 bags of rice. So tell me how will Nigerians complain of hunger or hardship then? No government is perfect but APC led istration is a known disaster. Nigerians began to know what HARDSHIP and HUNGER really is under APC led istration.

Buhari is a failure
Tinubu is a failure promax

You are still saying the same thing. The complain was relative Nigerians were still COMPLAINING.

fastseo:

You are very ignorant Mr man.

I said bring data from reputable sources if not remain silent.
This organisation have economist, mathematician, statisticians and much brain power that put this figure together while they work with the Nigerian population commission.


You said "In 2017, was there food scarcity in Nigeria?" then put it this way... Since 2017 has food production increase in Nigeria?

Do you know that most villages has been sacked in the north due to banditry? Do you know that farmers now pay bandit tax before they harvest their crop and they that to you as high prices?

Most villages? Are you sure? The North has 19 states made up of mostly rural settlements. Are you saying more than half of those states have been taken over by bandits? Think well o

And Yes!! Food production has increased in Nigeria since 2017.

This is Yemi Kale former head of NBS and presently principal partner at KPMG corroborating my view

NothingDoMe:
Too bad.

Tinubu, the overhyped dinosaur.

It's good that the hyping is being demystified

If the man never got 'his turn', some of his hardcore followers will be saying that he would have been the best presido ever

I am so glad now that their song has changed to Ebinpawa ooo

As for me, I will forever be OBIDIENT

you got it right. We are just wicked to each other. Even from the same tribe we just don't care

Lastly here is a news of how 2 hectas farm of maize due for harvest was destroyed in banue

Do u know how many plots of land makes an hecter? Over 16 plots of land makes an Hecter.
Do you know how many bags that would have yielded to contribute to market supply?

VTJN:
seriously i am more than ready to do just anything. The suffering is too much abeg. My only problem are these useless people those criminal politicians has as agent. They're on their payroll to defend them on every social media platform. They also have large followers following them because of the crumbs and handouts they are getting from these politicians agent. They are also using TRIBALISM to divide the masses. If we want to tell this useless corrupt government that enough is enough these agent will call us igbo/ipob. And their followers will all do what they asked them to do because of crumbs and handouts. Suffering and smiling. Those agent obviously had sold their heart to the dogs. I have them on Facebook and this forum plenty. Because of appointment or contracts they get from the government then the masses should go and die. It's really tiring seriously

One day one day....another civil war will erupt weda they like it or not, tinubu can not be eating chicken from my money while me and my family will die of hunger.....one day.....

So there's food scarcity due to two hectares of maize farm in Benue?

This is flood destroying over 100k hectares in 2022
Did we have over 50% food inflation in 2022?

Zxcvbnmghtr:


You are still saying the same thing. The complain was relative Nigerians were still COMPLAINING.

yes it's relative, so why are you saying Nigerians are poor that's why they're complaining? Were they complaining of hunger or hardship before APC came in? What does that tell you? A government that has taken ordinary food away from the mouth of the masses should be ready to face the wrath.

Ojuntana:

Yes that likewise contributed to the food hike we see today and its impact will still be felt even till years to come

Note the food hike is not only attributed to fuel prices... Know this and have peace. As food prices has been on the increase before now and I attributed this to fall in farm yield and population growth rate.
The fuel cost due to subsidy removal only wosen the effect.

You and I have agreeded that it is relative. Which has been my point of emphasis. Nigerians will always complain and complain and were complaining then too of HARDSHIP. YES NIGERIANS WERE COMPLAINING to a point that people were praising Yaradua who they also complained about.

The irony is, when you see the person complaining. You will see him being able to afford good clothes, have a car or cars, house in short the basic necessities of life.
Let me ask you. Can't you afford your three square meal anymore. Was it during Jonathan era that you last eat rice because a bag was 8k and you couldn't afford it anymore since after APC took over? Do you get it now.

Zxcvbnmghtr:
Edris Abdulkarim's song titled "NIGERIA JAGA-JAGA" was released when Obasanjo was the President of Nigeria. What does that tell you?! Mind you, Obasanjo belonged to the PDP. There is nothing new under the sun.

Am talking about the same Obasanjo some people say HE IS THE BEST PRESIDENT AND THE PDP HYPE, APC DEMONIZATION .

I don't want to go as far back to Fela's songs "SUFFERING AND SMILING".

So no be today.

IF YOU ARE POOR, YOU ARE POOR.

Seek a legitimate solution to your poverty. That's the only advice I can give you.

You can only make such comments on a faceless forum like nairaland if e sure for you come out for any market were people they buy foodstuff and make this statement I wan confirm something

So flooding of 2022 is responsible for food scarcity in 2024 according to you. It makes a lot of sense.

Food inflation in 2022 was 24% max. Today it is 50%. So you definitely can't compare food inflation in 2022 with that of this 2024. The singular difference is the transport cost. Every other issue present in 2022 remains and the situation is even better. We have not had flood of the 2022 scale in 2024. Banditry has reduced in 2024 compared to 2022.
The singular factor that has worsened is transport which has affected cost of farm inputs and cost of movement of goods.
You can't have general rise in cost of transport and expect food price to be exempted

I recall you vividly ing APC during the elections. You haven't seen anything yet

We in the north east have been there since 2020. Plan meals? I don’t recall when I did that last. Probably 2014/15. Just eat what I see and can afford, and pray it doesn’t send me to the sick bed.

Sorry sir. This is a dumb analogy to make. I'll use myself as an example and let me assure you that I earn far above average income in Nigeria.
I no longer eat golden penny spaghetti. My wife had to substitute it for one like that.
I no longer use Ariel washing. I now use Viva
I bought "Belgium" tires the last tires I bought for my truck last month for the first time ever.
I no longer buy foreign rice. I eat local rice though its the branded one that's free of stones and well processed with a price of 70k. When Jonathan was there, I only buy like two bowls of local rice as a patriotic gesture.
What about fuel? I don't buy fuel like I used to obviously
So to claim people are complaining because it's what they are used to is downright condescending and disrespectful.
And I'm sure you're not better than most Nigerians in this economy

Zxcvbnmghtr:

No, he is not saying the same thing, read with comprehension but i believe you are only pretending, because he wrote those things in plain language. no government is perfect hence citizens must complain, but the level of suffering and hardship that Nigerians are experiencing under APC government is on a high new level, never before felt in Nigeria.
you can be blaming Nigerians for being poor even when the APC government is the one impoverishing them, through harsh policies, moreover even the best nations still have the poor ones in their midsts, that the government always put into consideration while formulating policies.
you guys should stop ing this insensitive and crooked government, you can see how they are busy taking good care of their own luxurious needs, not allowing the so-called economic crunch affect their own needs.
if you guys are rich, what about your poor fellow citizens ?

There is serious hunger in the land

Yes! Nigerians deserve whatever they're going through. They campaigned and voted for Buhari in 2015. They should live with their decisions!

Organise an election today: Tinubu would win free and fair. So, whatever Nigerians see, let them take it like that!

NothingDoMe:
Too bad.

Tinubu, the overhyped dinosaur.

Nairaland May block you o, they ed this rubbish government

EyeCumInPiss:
Thïefnubu is a disastrous plague upon this Corn3.
All the 10plagues wey Egypt suffer put together no reach this plague called Thïefnubu.

Haha

You both have been buttressing my point over and over by not disagreeing that Nigerians were not complaining during Jonathan. Infact from your comment, what you are saying is that, the APC government is what has made Jonathan perceived to be better. It doesn't change the fact that Nigerians were not complaining that they were satisfied.

When Jonathan was president. Did Nigerians praise him to be better than Obasanjo or Jonathan? The answer is a Capital No. Yet during both Yar'adua but especially Obasanjo Nigerians were still complaining.

NothingDoMe:
Too bad.

Tinubu, the overhyped dinosaur.

will you make Heaven like this?

Throughout my adult life, this is the first time I'm experiencing real hardship, as in hunger.
Nigerians are really starving. I pray it doesn't continue like this!

I have not experience hardship and hunger throughout my lifetime. This is the first time I'm experiencing it. Even as dumb as buhari was, i didn't experience hunger under his government. It is under Tinubu government that everything destroyed. Ordinary garri is now a luxury

Hunger is too much

during all these above istrations you mentioned, Nigerians were not complaining of ordinary foods to eat. do you even know the implications of a sizeable population of any nation complaining of hunger ?

Nigerians don't. This is the first time. I am a Nigerian not a foreigner and this is the first time Nigerians are experiencing HUNGER AND HARDSHIP
