Hello dear Nairalanders! The main reason why i'm writting this is to draw the attention of intellectual minded people (patriotic) that hold powerful positions in the present nigerian government to draw out policies and reforms that will better lives in our beloved country.
It is with heartache that i found out 3 years ago (my coming to Nigeria) the high price of foods and common commodities in restaurants,shops,kiosk....etc compared to those in francophone countries (particularly in ivory Coast where i was born).
I spend three weeks constantly going from one restaurant to another one, then i truly realized that i was in a completely different country and there was this young brother that was jokingly saying "u neva see anything" "dis is naija" "the country where people prefer cooking at home".
To round it up, i discovered two facts about nigeria, food is expensive (x3 of what u can buy with francs cfa) and that somehow lead to people cooking more at home.
Having said that, it is more reasonable to look out for how to solve the many problems related to food abundance,its scarcity, its price on the market, its exportation ,and of course, its positive effects on the nation's economy.
Well! The idea did cross my mind before but i thought someone more elusive must have suggested it to the general public. That's why i'm here on this Great Forum to let You (my nairaland brother)to give it a second thought and let me know your take on the said subject which is: What if NYSC is agriculturally based ,or driven, or better, oriented? What if the government make it compulsory to all graduate students known to be young and vibrant? What if agriculture is really what is going to make this nation a great one? What if after that kind of year service some youths decide to venture in agro-business?
Even i'm still trying to answer these several "what if", i give you guys the opportunity to share with us!
Thanks for your contribution in advance! After all we are doing this for our country.

Ps: Don't mind the mistakes i have made while writing, blame it on my french background.

You have a point but it is quite shallow.
