As Cattle breeders threaten withdrawal of service, demand N475b compensation

Put in another way; the North can now place the south on sanctions and embargoes whenever it feels so? And once the sanctions are on, we can starve to death since we are not allowed to import from other parts of the world even though we have the money to do so? Is this not worse than slavery?

There was a time, about 3-4years or so ago, when tomatoes were not only very expensive,but even so scarce; it was that year I knew tomatoes were also grown in the Southwest with their own breed.
Though not as tasty as that from the North,but many people had to make do with that breed of Swestern tomatoes.
[s] When push comes to shove,there would always be an alternative because the entire South and the middle Belt are thick in the rainforest zones,and this is always the best kind of climate for food crops and even animals. [/s]
It's just that the ready availability of these foodstuffs from the North has not made people in other zones to explore the vast potentials of their lands.

You are free not to sell your goods but where the government is helping oppression is by insisting that Nigerians can't import farm products from foreign countries! If you don't want to sell, your kettle of fish! But I should be free to make my purchases elsewhere. .. Northern Nigeria is not the one feeding the people of Egypt, Cameroon, south africa, China or mongolia. Those people get their excess food supplies from somewhere and they pay for it. Don't take yourself too serious! You are selling something you are being PAID for, more than the value. If you don't want to sell , fine! But government should open the borders so we can import better qualities at cheaper rates from serious business people elsewhere... You are not donating food to anyone.. Always remember that..

If we can still get food from Benue state, then we are good to go..... We have saltwater fish down here in the south.. To hell with their beef...

Importing proper soft, tasty beef from Brazil, USA, Australia will even be cheaper than the deseased cows these northerners sell to us. Beef that you can use to cook steak. Beef you do not have to boil for hours before it becomes soft. Beef that you don't loose a tooth chewing.
We will import and build up ranches sharp sharp.

You are joking, you forgot that people come all the way from niger, mali to come buy farm produce in the north.

The north does not need southern market to survive

Mysticwebb:
Jokers. In my area, you don't buy, sell nor rear cattle.
Selling or buying of beef in our market is prohibited. No cow is allowed in our area, so this their useless beef scarcity is not for us.
Any cow in our bush is a bush meat and game for boys.

Nigeria was still importing food commodities when something like this happened under the previous administration, the experience was still bad. Under this administration with total ban on food items, it will be worse
