Chyz*: TBH, that was not meant to be offensive. Trust me, I would have been a lot harsher lol Onlytruth: So the farmer eats another farmer's products, but he wouldn't eat his own. Hmm. I don't believe Nigerian government provide food subsidization to their farmers or even provide much governmental help. Correct me on this if I'm wrong. I believe most Nigerian LOCAL farmers just sell what they have "left over". That's why we import most of what we eat. |

Ileke-IdI: They sell what they can afford to sell, but some of them are big farmers who produce say 100 and keep only 1 and sell 99. The point is that they are not traders. The traders come to buy the produce from them and take them to towns and cities where they sell them. These are the people that are missing now in KD. So, hunger don enter town. 2 Likes |

Onlytruth: hmmm. But if the Igbo/Yoruba traders (who came to buy), then why has food scarcity hit KID since KD owns the farms/ food product. It would make sense to say that food scarcity hit Southern states. Confusion is a . . . . |

Ileke-IdI:who told you the north feeds the south ? the only thing that comes from the north are cows, every region feeds itself and import the rest which requires igbo traders to distribute from the south to the north or from one state to the other so when u distrupt the activities of igbo traders you will all go hungry. go to onithsa on wednesdays especially and see convoy of trilers and wagons loading food stuffs and other items from onithsa to southwest and north, ijebu women also come to buy food stuffs and other materials to sell in the south west 2 Likes |

Apart from nama (Zebu cattle) and maybe onions, I can't recall what we don't grow locally. I am talking about Anambra o. Now try other SE states like Imo, Abia and Ebonyi. Across the Niger in Anioma, food plenty there -plantain, garri. Ol' boy, I won't be surprised if the North actually depends on the South for food. 12 Likes |

T9ksy: the 'kwashokor' during the civil war was caused by: 1) forced migration as villagers had to leave their crops to get away from hostilities 2) adekunle and the nigerian air force's habit of 'shooting anything that moves'. no farming, no commerce, no food products. unlike you, most people cannot carry the tray of ogi on their heads in the streets when tokyo and auxillary are having a discussion. 11 Likes |

every part of the country has it's own part to play in food distribution. But I'll frankly give the southeast(especially Anambra) the uper hand for that. |
