Nice write-up BBC, but no suggestion on how we can overcome the challenges. Are you mocking us? |

That's one of the gains if Buhari administration that irrational people refuse to acknowledge. Agriculture is actually on the rise and many parts of the country are now producing rice. In a few years we shall be rice sufficient. 1 Like |

ifenes: Don't mind them, Nigerians like to dey deceive themselves, wey back in the village, we plant cassava, harvest, cut into pieces, sun dried and kept in the store to fees our goats. We plant yams that we eat and made our own yam flour from the remnants and keep the wastes from from both yams and cassava sun dried, still to feed our goats. We also plant our vegetables, pepper and tomatoes, the only thing we buy is meat, oils, corn, guinea corn and rice because it's cheaper to buy than to produce. My grandma was not literate but she understands the importance of farming, we even gave out grains and all to the needy especially during festivals, who wants to do all these today? everyone wants to live in the city and do white collar jobs that are no where to be found? 1 Like |
