Agriculture Is Not The Magic Solution - By Simon Kolawole by madridguy(m): 11:36pm On Aug 23, 2016 |
Anytime I hear Nigerian presidents, ministers, governors, economists, analysts and commentators declare that agriculture is the alternative to oil, and that the solution to Nigeria’s economic woes is to return to the farm, I am tempted to jump up and ask at full volume: “Who agriculture alone don epp?” Some states have hilariously declared work-free days for civil servants to go to the farm. It would be nice to see those farms and how well the emergency farmers are doing. We’ve been told again and again that agriculture, as Nigeria’s biggest employer of labour, is the magic solution to unemployment, that we will export agricultural produce and earn plenty forex. Well done. https://www.thecable.ng/agriculture-not-magic-solution 124 Likes 26 Shares

It is not the magic solution but it is a worthwhile start. If we can both plant and manufacture, then lots of profit can be made. Second tc comment as at last year Well, he stated the right thing concerning politicians and their crave for earthly things instead of bettering Nigeria and Nigerians. They just want to be able to go to London and hold weddings there, then post pictures on social media and rub it in our face. Coming down to Buhari, this is past 15 months now since he took over the helms of power. Simon Kolawale, what's your current opinion? 9 Likes |

This write up is rubbish. Agriculture is the solution, it's just been poorly executed. When you get the said cocoa, the key isn't to import it, you are supposed to pass it down through several production cycles. The skin of the plsnt as fertilizer? The seeds sold to local companies to make their own beverages, chocolate etc. Its the solution, it depends on how you exploit it. 28 Likes 1 Share |

Wingback:Kikikikiki, why is this so funny to me? I guess you did not read that intelligent writeup there. South koreans import food, they hardly practise agriculture, do you know where they are in world economy? We are soooo backward around here, jeeeezzzzz! Nobody is saying agrisulture is not good for us as a country, but it cannot be what the economy will be solely based on. 110 Likes 3 Shares |

This has been the issue with africans which raises the question as to how we think as a race... It's evident that the Black man thinks towards consumption and not sustainability... Not adding any value but just thinking of today and what ever trends...no grand aspirations.. Just enjoying the menu as it comes.. I read an article about the slave trade era which made me see that in a part of Nigeria... Youths dropped farming to start kidnapping when they saw that the slavery business was booming... When it ended alot of them began to cry fowl.. Same goes to the palm kernel and gold etc... If we want to grow as a people we have to think of sustainability... Adding value to our natural resources and creating brands of it that can compete in the global stage. Else we will keep playing second fiddle... 14 Likes 1 Share |

You guys should chill..... The article is clear, while agriculture is important we should also exploit the agric industry. This is an aspect we lacking. Having such industries would create jobs, boost the economy. I feel this where the government should come in. Create an agric based industry, create a level playing field for investors to the industries. We need to start thinking outside the box. 8 Likes |

OP, is this really you or someone else? First was sarki earlier today and now this, what's going on?! Interesting article. Agriculture is vital but should be put in the right perspective. This is a different age we're in. The Digital age where much more matters than just growing food. By the way, before we can make any tangible progress in this country whether in agriculture or anything else, we need an enabling environment aka constant power, security of lives and properties, loans for small businesses and much more. 6 Likes |

I have always agreed with line of thoughts as this. There are infrastructures that make an economy grow, until these infrastructures are fixed and efficient enough. We ain't going no where! 3 Likes |
