The federal government has blamed the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and Yoruba Nation agitators for increasing food scarcity across Nigeria.

Minister of Defence, Bashir Magashi, says the prevalence of these groups has adversely affected food security thereby posing a new dimension of threats to the country.

“Regrettably, the prevalence of these threats has continued to endanger not only national security and economic growth but also food security.

“In particular, food security has been adversely affected with the attendant rise in the prices of foodstuff across the country which portends a new dimension of threat,” he said.

Mr Magashi said this at the opening of a retreat for Defence Advisers/Attaches Conference, organised by the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) on Monday in Abuja.

According to him, states in the South-South region are plagued with illegal oil bunkering, piracy and militancy while the South-East is challenged with secessionist activities of IPOB.

He added that the South-West region is equally faced with secessionist inclination driven by ethnic agitators as well as occasional tension between herders and farmers.

Mr Magashi called for collaboration between the security agencies to “come up with innovative ways of identifying and confronting” these challenges.

The minister said this was necessary in order to “create an enabling atmosphere for economic activities to thrive and to attract Foreign Direct Investment.”

Always blaming everyone for their failure.


Evil administration!

Herders and farmers OR Fulani terrorist herdsmen and farmers??

Fulani herders kept killing farmers in their farms since 2015. Because of this, farmers got scared of going to their farms from Benue to Enugu and to Oyo and Ogun States and more.

This is the number 1 cause of food scarcity in Nigeria right now. Even a kid knows it. But, the FG has carefully avoided this open truth in this official statement. Instead, they are blaming those who are basically complaining against the herders' menace.

What else do we need to know that the Buhari Govt is sponsoring the terrorists killing us? And, how come there are humans like , helinues, and their cohorts who lick the ass of this Government without ever criticizing it? Is it because they are the online department of these terrorist groups?

And, why is it that creatures who claim to be humans here on Nairaland are more likely to criminalize IPOB and Yoruba Nation agitators than Buhari and his FG just because of 30k N-Power stipend? You see, many of those who are killed today refused to speak up yesterday. Also, many who fail to speak up today, will be killed tomorrow.

Lalasticlala, Mynd44, Seun. Let the world hear that IPOB and Yoruba Nation agitators (not Fulani herders and bandits) are the cause of food scarcity in Nigeria.

Sambisa weed at work, don't blame them

When you thought its over

Evil administration!

very soon they will blame chickens sleeping early for their failure

Yeah! No more the middlemen blamed in 1984 or 2021 again are responsible.Not even the their wicked bandits, fulani herdsmen and BH terrorists brethren but IPOB and other peaceful agitators.

Always using the doctrine of taqqiya to deceive the gullible about the unfolding wickedness and evil of their government.

IPOB and Yoruba nation agitators must also be the reason why Buhari is a president that gat no blueprint on governance and bereft of ideas on how to better the lives of his citizens..


You just can't be Buhari or support Buhari without being a stupid fellow. Nonsense

for the Satanic Terrorist APC Regime, nothing is over.. they keep surprising us. When u think they have finally landed for ground,they keep going lower under ground


What Buhari haven't blamed for his Epic failure does not Exist

can you imagine this trash. this man did not blame boko haram,Fulani bandits and herdsmen from his Fulani tribe for massacring innocent farmers but somehow found a way to blame innocent agitators. in fact this man basically blamed the south for economic hardship and hunger ploughing the country but forgot that it was the handwork of the bad policies introduced by this administration that made some innocent Nigerians of northern extraction to eat grass

APC is a cursed party.Always playing the blame games.6yrs in power and they are still blaming people.I am happy that I don't even vote for this blood sucking vampires.My friend,a strong buharist told me that he's broke that things are very difficult these days and I should give him 30k ,I told him to go to buhari and collect the money.Till today, the guy refuse to talk to me.You vote for bubu,you have to suffer for it.No mercy now.

Food is nt even scarce, but to expensive




This government dem dey craze olorun

This is a government that never takes responsibility for anything. I'm eagerly waiting for when this government will apologize to the masses for their inadequacies and failures and truly mean it.
I expect that Boko boys, bandits and unknown gunmen will lead in this order but our government think these ones deserve medals while Odùduwà and IPOB agitators should be crucified.
The judgement of this people should start here on earth.

Federal government is now a colossus of chronically daft people.

They left out Fulani herdmen, one of the main culprit in all this and started blaming agitators.

Fulani herdmen and bad government policies is the main cause of the food crisis we’ve seen.

Don't forget to add Endsars protesters too.

That's the north for you

They didn't mention Boko Haram, bandits and terrorist fulani herdsmen , it's the southern agitators that they mentioned

And tomorow someone will tell me that the north will vote Tinubu or Osibanjo over Atiku in 2023

I laugh

Buhari blame Middle men for hike in food prices,Garba Shehu blamed beheaded farmers from not taking permission from the invisible Army bfr going to thr farm now another old fool is blaming Agitators for scarcity of foods.

They’ll also blame ipob for being the cause why E-naira died before starting.

Destroy kanu... jail ignohoe ...



Now all you there miscreants we will talk to you in the hard language you will understand

This government continues to give people a reason to want secession. Was it IPOB and Yoruba agitators that are leading cows into people's farms to destroy crops? Is it IPOB and Yoruba agitators that are raping and killing women on their farms? You see, this is why I can never blame agitators because this Nigerian government continues to give people reason to want to leave Nigeria.

FG think we're fools abi?, Them dey craze.
Why do Fg always like to blame Ipob & Oduduwa agitators etc for everything & always fall to acknowledge their bad leadership?.

Buhari's, El-Rufi, etc imported herdsmen, Bandits (ISWAP) with Bokoharam are the cause.

How did Yoruba agitation started?, Farmers herders clash. Yoruba's form Amoteku.
Ipob/ESN started when Eastern governors refuse to form replica of Amoteku, that give birth to ESN, Fulani herdsmen are killing farmers.
So how is it Ipob & Yoruba agitators.

In the North Buhari brothers, & imported Bandits baptized (ISWP) & Bokoharam chased farmers away.

Simple truth they will not, mad people everywhere.

Very detestable govt.

So Ipob are the one killing farmers across the country. Tufiakwa for BuBu.

When I say this government is an assembly of the worst and dumbest empty skulls the society has to offer it will look as if one is being too extreme. The way they dance around the truth is something else. You have blamed middlemen, blamed weather and climate, blamed Ipob and yoruba nation agitators but the people that are constantly killing farmers and burning farms can not and should not be mentioned and addressed. the people business men in the North constantly kidnapping and killing farmers, the ones that demand farmers pay protection fees and taxes, that farmers must farm for them first before they are allowed to farm for themselves, the ones that go on killing spree in farming and rural communities anytime they feel like showing off who is in charge. Of course these guys actions don't affect food safety, after all they are just busines men that have not hoisted flags in any of Nigeria's territory

What are Fulani herdsmen and Boko Haram terrorists responsible for?

The new Buhari's government lieing machine had just been unveiled. The rest had done their best.

Imagine such from a security officer!
What happens to Boko Haram people? ISWAP? The effect of bandits in the commercial agricultural north? The accomplishments of Fulani herders in the agricultural zones of the south? The free fall of naira due to bad policy that affect products value chain? Corruption and multiple taxation that is making our business environment hard. Among other things...
A failed government only blames and never take responsibility.



I rise

The way he looks, he is not fit to serve as a Defence Chief.

These demons are just deliberately throwing out sickeningly false narratives so that years down the line, with our notoriously short memories and inability to properly document and validate salient information/history, it is these bald-faced lies that will permeate the internet and become the available source of information. This is also why EFCC decided to mess around with Obi Cubana, not because they have anything concrete against him but just to sully his records so whenever he gets checked out, it would be that he had at some point been arrested/detained/investigated for money laundering or tax evasion as claimed.

The fg is officially mad
