Politic will replace crude oil

Very on point...

Good observation by a true businessman...

Wow,ur reply made me smile a bit..u sound decent,some other lady might have knocked me out with Hot words,I was expecting some serious typical nairaland knockout,my mind told me I was courting trouble when I clicked submit,alas,my mind was wrong on this one...but i know humor when I see it sha...but to be honest...the Oil Issue is serious and its time for each Nigerian to look beyond the government,dey failed us,they should have diversified the economy long ago,economic experts called for it long ago,this ur so called finance minister will resign soon,mark my words,every oil producing country knew d oil wealth wasn't permanent but a means to create buffer wealth for when it goes out of 'fashion' borrowing ur words,..particularly,d Norway Oil Industry Story made my heart heavy,u need to read it to understand what I mean...I might share d link later on this thread..

Lol, I'm a peacemaker(in my head sha). I understand your concerns but our leaders are more concerned with filling up their pockets than the diversification of Nigerias economy. It is painful because most western countries have found ways to almost replace their reliance on crude oil(that's what I meant when I said it's going out of fashion). They are going to rely less on Nigerias crude oil as time goes by and it's going to be drastic if these block head looters do not do something about it.

I think agric is a good alternate for crudeøøøøø because for every by product of crudeøøøøøthere is an alternative in agric.

Nigeria can survive only with mechanised farming processed industriallyø

Collynzo9:

Are you serious? So how are the countries that import Agricultural products from African countries and process them into finished products faring when compared to the countries they import from?
Switzerland imports most of Ghana's and Ivory coast's cocoa for processing into several products, how are they faring when compared to those 2 countries? As for the employment aspect, by the time everybody is ivolved in agriculture and the prices of products crash as is already the case, many farmers sink deeper and deeper into poverty.

Food = agriculture
Fashion = agriculture
Infrastructures = agriculture
Housing = agriculture
Furniture = agriculture
Health = agriculture
Roads = agriculture
Maths = agriculture
Transportation = agriculture 2.0
Technology = agriculture 3.0


In the beginning, agriculture ruled the world and
In the end, agriculture will still rule the world.

Crude oil will forever be needed it can't be replaced yet.. But the reliance on it will reduce....

I said 'almost' replace. They have just reduced their reliance enough to cut off importation and make use of their own reserves.

my dear.... crude has come to stay atleast for another century.... before crude it was coal and even with the advent of crude, coal hasnt fizzled out. the rest of the world didnt find an alternative to crude yetøøøø they are only using expensive crude which can hardly be sustained.....

so we will stick to crude and make agric and others only a competition until we get thereø

Opinions differ

'almost' is used when u think there are high chances an event might occur.. But they can't 'almost' replace oil.

Agriculture is the oldest economic base. We neglect it at our own peril.

Bundle of deception. Agriculture can only make you feed well, but not fetch enough local cash or foreign money to build even a rail line from Abuja to Kaduna, or run Nigeria under present unitary govt system. Move over to developed Western countries, there a basket of Banana or groundnut from Third world countries sell for less than one Euro. In any case, there is no part of Nigeria that cannot produce enough food to feed people in its area. Reality is tht once crude oil cash stops coming to Nigeria, today's apostles of one Nigeria shall declare independence from Nigeria - take this fact to the Central Bank.

Collynzo9 understands what I meant... Your mistake and the mistake of 90% of Nigerians is seeing agriculture as a food production method... Go through that list again.

My point is: without agriculture those things won't exist.

ApexTitan:
I saw this on the front page and thought I was going to read an opinion piece styled essay only to come here and see the scant first post. Why did the moderator create false impressions with thread title? Oh well.

its all about connection if u have connection in nairaland the mods will put u on the front page corruption in every aspect of life in nigeria

Now I get it,oil isn't such a big deal anymore is what u meant,many oil producing nations is knew this,so they worked hard in saving for d 'rainy days'...Norway has about $1trillion in oil reserve savings,for a country of about 5million people,yes,5million,dts huge...d current crop of leaders we have aren't goin to do anything abt it,its jst silly propaganda and white ankara politics...but,by God's grace,I shall rise to power someday,soon,..and Nigeria by God's help will breathe a sigh of relief...d situation is pathetic.

No sit at home and wait for oil money to line your pocket and fatten your bank account, what exactly has the oil done for me as an individual? very little. Those who cling on oil money are greedy lazy thieves who are not different from their leaders they lambast as corrupt. Agriculture is not just using hoe to till the soil. we are talking about industrial agric, it is the base of the American economy, the biggest economy in the world, agricultural economy gives life to any other thing because you will not drink fuel you lazy bones. You want easy life. nothing's free even in Freetown.

johnbuck81:
agriculture will never suppase crude oil...dats a natural resource 4rm GOD.

ehen so na devil give us the agric resource ba

LajaLaba:
I'm seriously laughing at you

help me tel am abeg...

Eyop:
Your personal opinion OP. Agriculture can never replace Crude oil. Our leaders are the ones not helping matters.

ever thought about being a leader to get us out of the woods...its the same way we all thinking so stop blaming the leaders

justitiaomnibus:
That is what it should have been.

Agriculture should by now be contributin a 40 percent of our national wealth..

But oil blinded everyone to every other thing.

it is.oil is just 12%

Crude oil and its derivatives are too important for agriculture to replace them. Even a fully evolved agricultural sector cannot.

Why is every body now trooping into Agriculture. What happened to technology. Agric is essential but we can't become just another agrarian country again. We need technology too to compete with the developed countries.

US economy is not rich or sustained by agriculture. US and other rich countries are rich through inflow of revenues from industrial output and hitech services. Agriculture in the US or in any rich country only supplements the economy. Lazy drones in Nigeria depend only on doles from Abuja. The worst of the drones live by greater share of the doles they unduly get through a purposely created 36 stsates and Abuja political structure that favours them with a unitary government system; a unitary govt system being wrongly practiced in a multi-ethnic/religious Nigeria. That is why, some Nigerians including perhps you, spin the yarn that agriculture can tomorrow make the money for a country to be rich. Unitary govt system makes Nigerians focus on Abuja doles and ignore Agriculture which is supposed to supplement the oil-driven economy. Repeat, no rich country, including the US, is rich from its agricultural proceeds.

CHIAAGRO:
WITH THE FAST GROWTH OF SOLAR ENERGY TECHNOLOGY,IT'S OBVIOUS THAT CRUDE OIL MAY BE LESS RELEVANT IN THE SHORTEST POSSIBLE TIME AND NIGERIA WE HAVE TO FACE AGRICULTURE!

same story, natural resources? God has a reason for it and the value must exist till the end

Not just agriculture also manufacturing and tourism.

Go and read about the history and make up of US economy, AGric has always been the base, What where Africans kidnapped for? to do rap music? was it not to work on PLANTATIONS for white people? The US grew rich from agro business my friend, any other business is an offshoot of agriculture, be it oil or space ship manufacturing, you think people there play with their agro business? they don't, food and clothing comes first then shelter, these three basic needs are quickly met by AGRIC. Agric should be the base economy on which every other economy is built up on.
I know very well that Nigeria is made to favor just a few people, and we need true FEDERALISM or out right break up

the only industry God gave man is Agriculture, the thing is that, we hate that word agriculture because it conjures an image of a village man with tattered cloth digging with a hoe, but that is not agriculture, that is called subsistence farming, that is what a lot of people practice, but I am talking about industrial AGRIC
