ya markudi. Have corrected it. Nigeria have just two fed.univ of agric.

Do you not consume tomatoes, groundnut oil, beef, onions, pepper, and sugar daily in the SE? Or are your stews made with just water, fish and palm oil? Not to mention beans, corn and millet for the Akamu and Akara your kids grow on? Are sugar canes grown in Aba?

Grow up there's no point arguing with facts.

superstarDikk:
I woudnt wanna argue further with you cuz my grandpa warned me never to argue with fools.........was just waiting for u to confirm u r n since u have, bye bye............

Udmaster:
LIAR. Big Liar.
which sugar? Sugar is mainly imported into the country or by foreign investors.
Pepper and Maize? Lol, SE grow pepper and Maize in their farm and garden.
Groundnutoil? Who dash una groundnut oil? Those are bought g.oil of foreign investorz.

Sealeddeal:
Even the North depends on imported food to supplement the shortages they have. Many of foods eaten in East are imported. Aside the Beans,Beef,wheat, millet, sugar, carrot,cucumber,tomatoes, cabbage, i don't know what is consumed in East that North supplies. Food like Plantain, Banana, yam, Rice, cassava,vegetables, snails,chicken,pork,tomatoes, vegetable oils, clean water,fish,are produced in large quantity in East. Nigeria region inter-depend on each others. If you come to North, you will be surprised. The belief that North is the food capital of Nigeria is a fallacy. I am currently in North .

Dainfamous:
ground nut oil produce by chikason who doesn't know life vegetable oil in SE region

The problem with people like you is that you are very shallow, yet lack the zeal or capacity to learn. Going by your comment, I can bet almost everything you know about Nigeria, came from Nairaland.

The combination of ignorance and arrogance is a recipe for disaster for anyone, regardless how high you may consider yourself.

What exactly has your region offered in terms of food production?

You few miscreants will be here online giving the wrong impression of the vast hardworking Igbos out there who barely have time for themselves, much less hate.

As for the thread, I wonder who is the more ignorant one between you and the op.

Emotions have have held your brains to hostage, using it to play ten-ten.

superstarDikk:
you see your problem?...I never called u names bro... U just proved to me that u opened this thread out of jealousy for other Nigerian tribes........For ur info I'm not Yoruba neither am I Hausa. I'm just Niger Deltan who sees things as they are. I don't follow the crowd n complain all d time. I m not a victim like ur people are..........n I've been base in Awka for d past 5years, so yea I'm in the SE

BoleynDynaSTY:



You don't insult people cause they don't share the same opinion as you, the north produce food same as the east. But you can't come here and tell me all the food down east are shipped in from the north. We depend on the north same way the depend on us for some certain foodstuff but you can't come here and expect me to swallow the fact that we depend heavily on d north....And if your whole life is based on crap u get out of NL then that's ur problem, don't say shit you don't know

Alphaoscar:




Op is comparing Mama Chinedu's one plot Yam farm that can't even feed a nuclear family for 6months to commercial farms in the the North. lol

Udmaster:
what exactly do you mean by pepper? Mr man, it is a common garden product in the South East.
Sugar? It is not a food. Btw we have foreign investorz sugars in Nigeria.
Tomato, Onions? Yes I agree.
Groundnut oil? Which groundnut oil?

Udmaster:
ya markudi. Have corrected it. Nigeria have just two fed.univ of agric.

QuotaSystem:


You clearly just want to argue. What seeds are poised to produce the vegetable oil you consume daily? Do you grow groundnuts in the SE or do you have any groundnut mills like are scattered all over the North? I just showed you a list and map of the sugar factories in Nigeria yet you still talk about phantom foreign investors?

You don't have to agree with me, you just look silly arguing with facts which was why I responded in the first place.

Believe what you want, Rochas has spoken. Take heed for your own good because the North is already pursuing self sufficiency. Goodbye.

modath:


What of federal university of Agriculture ABEOKUTA ? Doesn't count? Never make emphatic statements about stuff you are ignorant about?

Udmaster:
have you been to Ebonyi state before?
Have you heard about Abia state or the Nsukka area.
Yam is heavily produced mr man.
Keep ur almajiri yam in the north.

Udmaster:
what abt the IDP Camps? Why don't you take ur Northern Food products there? Or are we missing something here.
A country of false propagandas.

Alphaoscar:






What you produce in the East can not feed 30% of your population.

Udmaster:
its like you lack mannerz, counter the thread and stop flipfloping on a numerical mistake.

BoleynDynaSTY:
Good points...Aside from few food items, d north really doesn't have anything to offer. Most of the food comes from Benue State.

QuotaSystem:


And why were your starving ancestors not fed your yams, rice, fruits and palm oil during the food blockade while the biafran war persisted? Why did millions of them have to die of malnutrition, hunger and starvation?

Simple. Because farming and other agricultural activities cannot continue during a war (which is why I pity those calling for war today) and that is the lot of the unfortunate IDPS. It's on the other side of the same North that tomatoes are produced in excess to the point where they rot.

You have been corrected, tutored and owned on your own thread. Shame.

QuotaSystem:
The South East depends on the North for the following vital food products they consume:

Tomatoes

Pepper

Groundnut oil

Beef

Beans

Onions

Maize/Corn

Sugar

And lots more... Only an inferiority complex ravaged individual will belly ache at these facts.

jelel6:
and benue is in the south east. You smart.

I stumbled on this thread and was shocked to see the low level of shame that Okorocha has descended.

NOW LET US COMPARE THIS.
Apart from Beans, Onions and Tomato, which Northern Food commodity is consumed by the South East?
- Do you know that majority of palm oil used in the North are from the south east?
Who doesnt know Ebonyi state influence in Agriculture.
Ok let us look at the food stables that Southeastners consume mainly.
1. Rice- we have Rice production in Abakaliki, Abia and Anambra, the rest are imported into the country.
2. Yam- Yam are cultivated in south east, we have a festival to celebrate new yam.
3. Vegetables- Igbos are mainly lovers of vegetables esp. In soup.
Oha, Ugu, Waterleaf, bitterleaf, Achara, Etc are grown and processed in the south east..
4. Garri- Do the north know what is garri production?
Cassava is a major food crop in south east and almost every market in south east have garri that comes from rural areas in south east.
5. Fruits- Every region in the south have fruits in their domain.
Our Udara, Cashew, Mango etc are found in S.E.
6. Other foods like Ukwa(Bread fruit), Cocoyam, Plaintain, Potato etc are produced in the south east.
7. MEAT- We are ok without their cow, we have goats, sheep, pig and chicken being reared in the South East.
8. Maize- We grow our maize in our farm and consume from it.
OH MR. Okorocha, what a mess you have made of yourself.
There are three federal universities of Agriculture in Nigeria, one in Markudi, Abeokuta and the other in Mouau Umudike, Abia state.
- National Root crop research institute has two headquaterz in Nigeria, One in kogi, the other in Abia state.
- I have lost every atom of respect I have for this Okorocha of a man.
What a shame!
...>
I don't deny the fact that North lead in Agriculture.
But South East don't depend wholly on the north for food.
Our food import from the North makeup just 10% of our food consumption, the remainin 90% are homegrown in the south east.
why did you edit it to remove the south east?
Like I said b4, yes the North lead in Agriculture but what the food that South East people consume daily are Home grown.
In our Soups, do the North grow our vegetables? Our garri? Rice? Palm oil? Plaintain? Yam? Cocoyam? Etc NO.
Groundnut oil in the South East are mainly produced by chikason in Anambra.
who doesn't know life vegetable oil in SE region.

Udmaster:
why are you getting emotional? Did I hit a nerve?
Is there any war in the North East? So why is ur Northern food products not heading to the IDPs?
During the biafra war, did the FG set up IDPs for Igbos? Did we not bounce back.

Abagworo:


You know little about our food consumption hence your outburst. The truth is that we need to prioritize agriculture both on large scale and individual basis. Okorocha committed no sin by saying we should concentrate on agriculture to outpace the North.

QuotaSystem:


No. The war against BH was fought in the SE.

Tell me why eastern food products were not taken to biafrans dying of starvation and you have your answer.

The East depends on the North for supply of your most vital food items. QED.

You can go on a food strike to protest if you hate the fact.

superstarDikk:
nne biko be specific and certain............. The north, when it comes to food has everything to offer. Rochas was right but u will not see it. How many people r farmers in the east n what exactly do they produce?.......... U r claiming of having yams when more than 90percent of d yam u consume is from Benue n Jos....a single state in the north has more agricultural produce than the whole of southeast combined. So yea, they have errrtin offer
