2 and a half bags of tomato

Audu Ogbeh is a better agriculturist but he is not a policy maker. He will serve better as a DG of a parastatal

Adesina is in all standards, the most credible Agric minister till date. He is so objective and definitive. He made Agric farming attractive to young people.

I would have said it is too early to make a comparison in this sector but the body of the government is smelly

I expected them to carry on from where Adesina stopped but like APC, they are reversing all the gains...
No clears policy yet

Heard they are removing subsidy on fertilizer

APC?

You cannot compare Jonathan with buhari, only people that are seasoned bigots will begin to do that

OK, I am not sure why I saw the news on NL just recently.

Anyway, there are no indicators yet that Buhari will do any better in Agric sector than other sectors...

Imagine.

because they're saying GEJ achievements are their achievements knowing Nigerians have no memory at all. the difference is GEJ was surrounded by professionals and when they removed subsidy they had a plan as to why and how they would do it. These ones are checking twitter for who to arrest and saying they are going to fund the government with 'looted funds'

[size=18pt]The Buhari/APC govt is laughable[/size]

Google is your friend.

The truth is The Apc govt tried so hard to frustrate Jonathan's government,its very evident in their recent removal of subsidy...its not Buharis fault that the moth decided to attack in his regime..but I strongly believe Buhari should have retained the former minister of agriculture...I'm not saying audu ogbeh won't do well but we all know we don't just need a farmer as a minister ( don't forget this same man was once a minister of agriculture years ago)...

Gej all the way,sometimes i wish akinwumi can be our permanent minister for agriculture for life.all these hike in food prices will stop.

Every good and bad gains made under GEJ is today ugly and worst under Buhari.

When Ebola attacked in GEJ's regime he defeated it faster than any leader in the world.
When moth came to Buhari he got an ear infection and declared tomato ebola.
stop making excuses for Buhari by using Ogbeh's name


Buhari gave all his ministers 3 unrelated ministries to run. Have you ever tried to have 3 full time jobs at once? Please don't blame his ministers, he's the one that called them noisemakers and destroyed their structure

I liked GEJ because he knew he wasn't an expert and was willing to listen to and hire experts. The VP or the world bank on finance, president of OPEC of petroleum, etc. Everyone that was in position has a masters degree or phd in their field and was recognized by the world as a top mind in the field even Sanusi in banking. Buhari came and thought Amaechi who has no certificate can build our roads and Fashola a lawyer will bring us light. Zombies want to talk about ministers. Buhari himself said he didn't read the Nigerian budget be himself proposed

You are right bruh! But if you read my post well
.ull see I never blamed Audu ogbeh for the Tomato problem + Audu ogbeh was only given the ministry of Agriculturand rural developement to run and not three ..I only know of Fashola...

...All i can say at this point is that i really miss the former Minister of Agric,Akinwunmi Adesina..

...No further comment.
