obailala: Who told you there aren't enough people in farming? And how does that statement stop others from going into farming? I am responding to your criticism likewise others of Nigerians being lazy, simply because you've seen a white lady in farming. What you should be emphasising on is for people to bring out the best in what they chose to do, not calling your country men lazy. If seun or Linda ikeji chosed farming, will you have a platform to call Nigerians Lazy? While you're typing and going about your business daily, be rest assured other Nigerians are doing their best to contribute to the country. You're not the only hardworker in Nigeria 1 Like |

HandOfChukwu:No need to explain further, I already see your point. Nigerians should all embrace the spirit of xenophobia by chasing away every foreign investor or we could as well not sell any properties to them because if we do today, one day they would buy up everything and begin to lord over us in our own land. We should chase foreigners away and never sell land to them even though they are willing to pay very juicy sums for the land. I totally understand and note your point. 1 Like |

IAMJojo: I'm tired of people bashing Nigerian youths. There's one thing motivating them, there's another thing bashing them. Our system is so messed up that it's difficult for us. But we have Nigerian youths doing well in other sectors. |

Etinosajay:Point of correction, I did not call Nigerians lazy because a white lady is farming, rather I called Nigerians lazy because we have the capacity to increase our agricultural production by over 10,000%, yet we remain a poor hungry 3rd world nation. |

HandOfChukwu:oga the land use Act of 1978 vests ownership of all land in nigeria in the hands of the federal govt ,the governors of each state act as custodians in relation to land located within their respectve states,they hv the power to issue certificate of occupancy otherwise known as CofO which is a lease that runs for about 99yrs so as u can see the chances of a foreign individual or corporation “stealing” land in nigeria are quite slim if not impossible .Drawin pararells with southern africa amounts to an attempt to misinform a lot of pple ,when the colonialist embark on their land grab scheme they adopted a number of methods mainly they used religion, trickery and the barrel of the gun and besides then there were no laws regulating land use in southern africa except in a few cases where u hav native laws which the europeans gladly ignored . what I'm tryin to emphasize here is that foreign investment should be encouraged in nigeria especially in the agriculture sector in view of the forex crisis we are experiencing that has sent food prices in the upward trend[remember buy naija to grow the naira ] but we must ensure that laws relating to business and agriculture must be adhered to and followed rgds. |

vislabraye: We have Nigerians doing well in agriculture and food production too. But it's not news, because they are very many. It's like saying Iya basira is going to her shop to sell food. What else will she do before? It can't be news cos it's not new If news of football success comes on nairaland tomorrow, people will say why aren't all Nigerians playing football. If it's music, they will say why aren't all Nigerians singing? 2 Likes |

obailala: No nation on earth is able to exclusively feed itself or provide everything it needs on the daily, weekly or yearly basis. That is why there is international trade. That is why the word import/export exists. Yes, Nigeria can strive to do better in many areas. So does other countries. Follow @fao and learn of agriculture and food production in the world and Nigeria Or read resources from the ministry of agriculture. A lot is happening in Nigeria daily. Every one in Nigeria can't become a farmer. Even USA imports plenty of its needed agric produce from Mexico and neighbours. Britain imports from Hungary, Russia, etc |

GeneralShepherd: I'm just stating the fact, you have got to walk before you can run, you start small, you cannot go into large scale farming overnight. If you call that obnoxious then what can I say. I'm just tired of hearing one excuse after the other. |

Davinex: So you want to compare this woman with average Nigerians? Do you know how much money she probably had before coming here or do you know how many connections she has. Getting funds to buy land and start farming will be way easier for her when compared to an average Nigerian. Trust me, if an average Nigerian has access to the kind of funds she has, they will do the same thing. She is in the business to make money. You need money to acquire land. How many youths have that kind of money? |

obailala: And you got that statistics from? Like I said a lot is going on in Nigeria, than you realise. You go to the market, you buy pineapple, yam, pepper, tomato, most are produced locally. Try to identify an agricultural or food production route and follow it out of curiosity. You'd be amazed what you find. Someone in agriculture likewise won't know what's going on in sports, or media, unless look with keen interest to learn and not to criticize. |

I'm sorry can you not read ? The article on Financial Times said they were "given" the land, while she "leased" it from the white Zimbabweans. Simple English realnas: |

Nigeria has everything to feed the whole of Africa and more. Good soil, plenty of water resources, good climate conditions, no natural disasters. With proper irrigation, modern machinery, and with cooperation with local communities (read: Chiefs to keep their boys a.k.a. youths but in fact just ordinary criminals), it would become the food basket of the continent. Some years ago, in Imo state, and near one federal institution, I saw some 30-40 tractors, waiting for local farmers to collect. over two years after that, the same tractors were at the exactly same place... Probably officials were demanding too much money for each or something... Whatever the reason is. How much more food could be produced with these tractors and machinery attached to them?! |
