This is a govt that will ban the importation of food but commence the importation of grass for cows.
Dear God,how did we get this kind of president?

Ignorant you!

It was grass seedlings to be imported for subsequent planting and not for feeding cows.

Go to school, you no go. Na to sleep and wake by social media you sabi.

Not till we have more than enough

A bag of Rice is #15,500


. We can attain self sufficiency in food production indeed.

Am in support of it.
Let the rich join us in eating local gwari rice.

Nigerians no get chill mehnn

Beremx:
Let the hunger and famine continue....

tomatoes is now worth the price of gold...

Lord help us!

weiler spotted!

I fear for Nigeria before December this year a bag of rice will hit 30k. Buhari and his team are just stupiditily arrogant nd has nothing meaningful to offer Nigeria. How can you ban what you don't have, only a fool will believe that an average Nigeria ll prefer imported food if the local one is at cheaper rate

chikel2000:
Now u r spewing nonsense, the guy u quoted made a good point. U should try n convince him how d present admin will alley his fears not d oda way

you can't allay thefears of someone who does not see anything good in a person,such person lacks the capacity to be logical and intelligent,such fellow is becloudded. With sentimental and has great animosity towards reason

What's stopping Nigeria from producing food ? What if the country where we import food from decided not to go into agriculture, won't we survive?

Make una start production b4 una stop am o.

This is nonsense, banning importation of food when our own av not bn standardized, well distributed. Would there be light for the production of our locally made food? What about good road to ease the distribution? This government lacks omnus operandi and sine qua non of development. As clueless as past regime

You people always Crack me up with these "Dear God How/Why" questions.

Why would he halt the importation of food when his brothers and kinsmen are destroying peoples farms and farmlands in Benue state which is the food basket of the nation..

And who told you that Foreign rice will not come into this country through our porous borders.

Incase you don't know, this is a call for smugglers to get back to business.

We better attain the self-sufficiency in food production before any ban, else there will be chaos.

IT IS A GOOD IDEA, DONT TRY CRACK TASTELESS JOKES

it is not a matter of halting importation BECAUSE we can be self sufficient



Please o, let us be self sufficient first. . .

He wants to halt food importation while the herdsmen and their cattle overun the few farms we have in the country. Then we have been sentenced to hunger and starvation. Who will deliver us?

Lord help us!

Tomatoes price have always been up and down. There is no news about this.

Besides there is a news about what caused the Tomato issue

Consumers of fresh tomatoes in Nigeria are gradually switching to pastes, on account of a ravaging insect pest known as ‘Tuta Absoluta’ which has destroyed an estimated 40 percent of anticipated harvest, causing prices to shoot up by 105 percent, from N17,000 to N35,000 per basket.

Ooch! And they want to import grass.
1983 policy is back.

But still, it won't be rampant na.
Just try think of illegal drugs and den think of how dey wudda been saturating the market it they were legal

Bassee:

Oga but he budgeted more for the Ministry of Information, Propaganda and Masquerade Research na. Abi I lie? The Ministry of Agriculture got just 29 billion and you say you want to stop food importation?

if 29 billion will be enough to run the Agriculture industry, he should allocate 100? please be reminded that we now have a prudent president n not that wasteful, haphazard n extravagant somebody you call fmr. president.

there's no where in my post i blamed the government for the scarcity and high cost of tomatoes. it will also be wicked if Buhari goes ahead to ban importation of tin tomatoes.

O! so we have a prudent president? Prudent enough to allocate 18bn naira to spend on the Presidential villa when wasteful Jonathan spent 11bn naira

Bassee:
When he's budgeting more for the ministry of Information, Propaganda and Masquerade Research than that of Agriculture, how the hell does he even think that is possible?

you ar everywhere crying for no reason and disgracing urself. Is Nairaland your office?

[size=15pt]Food importation threatens Nigeria's national security[/size]

u're right bro... it's a bad practice of what a country of more than 30million heacters of free fartile soil should not be doing.

imported food are destroying our health as most of the food contains too much pesticide and habicide. and the worse are the GMO cowpies

MORNDEW:

Some of us don't need to sit in a four walled room all the days of our life to make a living. You've noticed I'm everywhere, that means you must be everywhere too, Or.... how do you know this

Like 1984 Nigerians will soon start queuing for food again ...I was part of the people that voted this vision less into power. .well by God's grace I am great enough to live through this all without stress

Sure we can sustain ourselves in terms of food production..

Meanwhile tomatoes don become N300 for my hood and to make a pot of soup you need at least N1500 for tomatoes and peppers..

And this minister dey yarn bullllshit...

Thunda faya him yansh...

My dear, the rich will always have their way. It's the middle class and the poor (especially the poor) that will bear the brunt of wrong policy decisions.
