Suicide is the best option for you cos you are as useless as a rag.

But wait a minute,are people now saying that he lied,even if he met what he said?That you can't does not mean there are no people doing it.I know one who did that on his girlfriend birthday.

As for this one, Audu Ogbe is on point 100%. What he's trying to highlight is importation of everything including those that can be manufactured in Nigeria to provide Platforms of Self Employment, increase GDP and Internal Revenue Generation. He just used the pizza example as a simple case study or example. But most empty headed humpty-dumpties went to sit on a high horse to see only the pizza without the message behind the pizza. That pizza that is tasteless and useless to the molecular structure, tissues and cells of a melanated African body. Rubbish!

Guy, most of what Audi Ogbeh is flaunting in the agricultural sector, were NOT initiated by him or even executed under his watch. Adewunmi Adesina the former Agriculture Minister did most, or all of those things.

Audu Ogbeh goofed with his reference to importing pizza over the phone, from London. If you know anything about international logistics especially with regards to cooked food, you will know that it is far easier to fly in a chef to make the pizza in Nigeria, than to airfreight it from a restaurant in London to Nigeria.

The man is saying something crucial about socioeconomic quagmire but typical Naija youths will use their grievances against APC to tarnish everything with political sentiment and mumbo jumbo of political jigoism. Later you'll be the ones to say there are no available jobs in Naija, which is why you all are rushing to Europe like bees. Rubbish!

And everybody in Nigeria is now rich & eccentric enough to fly in prepared food by air? People that r still in sifia pains on d price of fuel for their cars and generators r the ones that u and d minister r talking about abi!?

I stay and work here in Abuja I can't really speak for other international airports. But let me tell you the truth friend, you need to speak with people working at the airport here in abuja. What Nigerians spend on frivolities is alarming. Yes people order perishable items from Uk mostly because of the 6 hours flight into abuja most times. I am not defending anyone but let me give you a case I was part of. Years back when Deziani was still in shell before her first ministerial appointment. Whenever she was coming into Abuja, two weeks before(watch my lips) two weeks before her arrival date from either PH or Lagos, she had this loved presidential suite on the executive 10th floor in Transcorp Hilton she likes staying and the suite must have been booked and paid for two weeks before she comes and money start counting. On so many occasions, she never came. And the accommodation was charged and paid. So when she went gaga during her days as the petroleum minister I wasn't surprised.

See at a time, her son was supporting Arsenal football club, he will fly down to north London to watch a match and come back after the match to Abuja. I knew about his land logistics so that gave me opportunity to this info. People are crazy for things from abroad and that is why this government has been preaching local content for some time now. Just my own opinion.

tribalistseun:
All Buhari minister are all dumb like him. Empty brains

You’re all the dumb one here. You guys are so dumb that you couldn’t get the import of what the minister was saying.

JeromeBlack:



British Airways does not arrive in the morning.

And by 6hrs plus, your pizza would have changed taste.

Nigerians import pizza. Stop the biased sentiments. Nigerians import it just to show off or impress whether the taste changes to soured amala or agidi. People who suck poosea don't do so because of taste but just to impress. I rest my case.

My broda I respect ur opinion and I’m not arguing against the eccentricities of the rich & famous. The clamor for local content development predates this administration as I still remember Goddy K.

I’m only against the impression that all is so well for d average Nigerian that hustles to eat 2square meals a day that he can now get on his phone and order pizza from abroad just like that! Wetin concern the teeming populace wit pizza? How many out of our almost 200million citizens can do that!?

I think his statement was kind of figurative. He wasn't really referring to all of us although me self go like dey order from Toronto self . You know when people say Nigerians are very impatient people doesn't mean all of us. How many people dey fly plane self talk more of ordering pizza from Jand. To me he might not be a brilliant mind like Adesina in his days at the ministry of Agriculture but if you take time to read through Audu ogbe's full statement, he made very serious and valid points which I share with him.

neonly:




Why do you pple like abuse someone parent for no reason can it be you never respected yurs or they failed you hmmmmm

Really? So Audu Ogbe and BUHARI are not peoples parents abi. Ohhh sh.ut up your hypocritical mouth please

I have a friend who's dad do pay for cooked beans from Ghana high restraunt Lagos and they will fly it to Abuja or Delta state.

On Fridays we will buy the beans, take it to airport for it to be delivered to him.
Some Nigerians are sick, when I raised this issue yesterday someone told me of a popular person who gets his bread from London.

abi na your money?

How do you pass it through customs at the British airport?
Where do u store it?In your bag,in a box or a hot box?
Some things said are just plainly st upid,one begins to doubt if indeed it's not true that some blackmen have a brain deficit.

you still don't get the point

tomju:
For those of you who may be ignorant of the facts, Audu Ogbeh remains one of the most effective Buhari's minister. Looks at his background educationally, look at his success in ministry of Agriculture, even his interview on the senate floor when he was being cleared as a minister.Today, Nigeria's total food production has increased. Audu Ogbeh spoke with facts and figures to back up his points, as he did during that senate clearance. His performance was sterling. Now to the Pizza issue, do you know how pizza is made?, From flour mainly and vegetables or marine species! Now those are agricultural produce. He was saying we are not growing enough corn,vegetables etc, so that there seems to be a lack of enough agricultural produce, some Nigerians even import pizza with their phones from London. This one is true. It clearly shows the minister is connected to reality. He knows what's going on. Some people will take a statement from someone and read out of context. You can draw an example from mundane things to drive home your points. Its a literary skill. If you know you know. Some of the boys criticising him here do not have basic WAEC! They English the write is terrible, the grammer nauseating, yet they are the first to fire a shot. #lazynigerianyouth

Stop disgracing ur family abeg...u just typed a long epistle to show how inept u are...they are a lot of local people on NL sha

Gforce2019:

I doubt if you know what pizza is.
The pizza sold at Domino store is only prepared in the oven when you request and pay for it.
It takes about 10-25 minutes to prepare.

buhariguy:
help me ask those jobless aggressive lazy ipob if Nigerians don't import common toothpick.

Is toothpick edible?? How can u compare toothpick to pizza that is ready to eat...use ur brain na abeg.,. tomorrow they will tell u they import Shawama and u will believe

Shayooluwah:


You've got a point. But the people that I believe are indulged in such acts, do not care about money. The act in itself is penny wise and pound foolish. I mean why order a pizza for only God knows how much and still pay a hefty price for the transportation, when you can get it for less than 5k. Dominoes Pizza is not that bad na Baba. But then again they do not care about the monetary implication.

As to food quarantine customs bla bla. This is Nigeria. If you know your way and have the means. You can basically get away with anything. That has been proven to us times without number.

As to the condition of the pizza, leave that to the preference of the person who ordered it. I like that you mentioned a cooler can be used. I'll also like to point out that a fridge can also be used. If the person likes it fresh or not that's his business, if he liked fresh pizza he won't have been ordering it from a country a time zone away. And he can always warm it by the time he receives his not so fresh pizza.

The point remains that ordering pizza from U.K to Nigeria is very possible, and I believe some money miss roads might be involved in the act.

To buttress my point I'll add a personal experience. Back when I was still in Junior school, when pizza was not yet a big deal in Nigeria. A family friend returning from the U.S bought pizza before boarding their flight, they did not finish it, so they kept it. By the time they got to Nigeria and we had gone to visit them. They brought out the box of pizza warmed it and we enjoyed it.

So tell me once again why some overly eccentric person cannot order a box of pizza and have it delivered to him in Nigeria. Shebi na him get him money.

Ordering pizza is different from bringing in pizza when u travel...it's absurd saying someone imports pizza...Hu will the pizza company give it to ?...the air hostess abi pilot or captain... does it mk sense to u?? Or mayb they will settle a passenger.....i just don't get...

People don't just use their brain again in NL. BA is not denying it, in fact they stated the obvious indirectly.

GlorifiedTunde:
I don't get all the comments above, has BA denied the allegation?

I think it's high time we stopped being petty over issues.

I wouldn't be surprised if what this minister said is true, and that really causes for concern.

Now I put two questions to you.

1. Did you ever know someone flies out of the country every weekend to watch matches in London?
2. Do you believe it or not that people actually order items like pizza from outside the country?

In what way is this different from pizza? Who is even spending more? They courier the pizza to you and another person if taking a private jet to and fro to watch a match? Not commercial plane private. I also spoke about someone that has paid for a suite in Transcorp two weeks before her arrival you think na joke to sleep in Transcorp hotel? First floor per night is almost 50k without room services or feeding.

That's a different topic for another day. You may hate the messenger but don't hate the message. Brazil cow grass deal was never supported or hailed by any reasonable Nigerian including myself. I never said Brazil cattle grass importation will increase GDP. Go read my comment again and maybe use glasses this time around. Also leave the bush area. Pizza importation from UK or elsewhere by Nigerians and cattle grass importation by blinded government are not the same. This is a different issue of pizza importation and socioeconomic quagmire. Why use the bad ones to rubbish the good one?

Yes! The minister was actually right but how do we stop it when our leaders are going to London for medical treatment, the same leaders are sending their children to schools abroad.

Which topic is a "different topic for another day"? Can u b more specific? Were in my comment suggests "hating d messenger"? What has hate got 2do with d discussion?

U seem 2b talking from both sides of ur mouth. What is d difference between "Pizza importation from UK or elsewhere by Nigerians and cattle grass importation by blinded government" which u say they aren't d same thing.

If d minister proposed importation of grass(which u say wasn't supported by any reasonable Nigerian), then how competent is he to condemn importation of pizza? How does a man who believes in importing something as trivial as grass be about this: "What he's trying to highlight is importation of everything including those that can be manufactured in Nigeria to provide Platforms of Self Employment, increase GDP and Internal Revenue Generation",

If u were reading with ur glasses& u weren't inside a bush, u would have noticed this

In his defence, u said this:

He is d minister of agriculture. What has he done to create self employment thru agrobusiness so as to reduce importation in order to provide platforms of self employment, increase GDP& IGR?
