Nigerians Are Hungry Because They Are Lazy – Sultan by philpwresh(m): 5:20am On Apr 17, 2017
The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, yesterday, attributed the current economic recession and hunger to laziness of leaders and the people.


The Sultan made the remark during the 22nd National Ummah Convention in Sokoto.
The convention which has as its theme: “Agriculture: Panacea to Nigeria’s Economic Recession”, was aimed at addressing the cognate issues of hunger in the country.


“Much is needed from the government and the general public to tackle hunger, as our laziness could not aid our progress.


“Yes, there is hunger in the country, but we have been so much lazy to tackle the issue, as we always depend on government and other wealthy individuals to assist us.


“Moreover, no one could solve our own problems, but we should improve more on agriculture, in order to tackle them and yield a better society,” Abubakar said.


Governor Aminu Tambuwal thanked the organisers of the convention and commended them for their consistency in organising it annually.


Tambuwal, who was represented by the state Commissioner for Religious Affairs, Alhaji Mani Maishinku, assured that the state government was ever ready to collaborate with the Ummah in achieving the said objectives.


“The theme of this year’s convention is considered timely as it is in tune with the programmes of the Federal and State governments in agricultural development.


The Chairman of the occasion, Malam Ahmad Bello, lauded the Federal Government,”for defeating Boko Haram threats to security”.
“Having thus addressed the issue of insecurity last year, it is only logical that we should, this year, address the cognate issue of hunger in the country.
“Our political and spiritual leaders must do something about this, and urgently too, as it would be a crime, a sin, and a folly, not to do so,” Bello said.

no need to read the long story...let me reply the topic: CORRECTION: Northerners are lazy, poor and uneducated. Even Sanusi said it...So, don't include the south, as we are the most hard-working Nigerian here n overseas.

Sultan should have says that there is no free and easy money anymore for the both the politicians who spend with reckless abandon, and the common man who capitalize on the recklessness of the former for his/her gain.

The truth is that the reality of our extravagant comestic life over the years is starring us at the face today and some people are crying blue murder. It is in fact,it is an unavoidable reality which we must face.

Sultan must be hallucinating
What's​ the guy's name again?

Methinks he's afraid of Emir Sanusi's rising public profile.. hence the need to open the facial trap even when he's gat nothing to say.

I guess economic blueprint is what will put garri , rice and beans on your table

The Sultan was talking about self sustenance , you are talking about government sustaining you


Who should be blamed ?


Its raining season, plant yam seeds behind your house, plant beans and rice , plant corn , what that gives you will reduce from whatever you have to purchase

Are we at war?
Must everybody become a farmer to eat three square meals daily? What are you smoking ?
America has less than 3% of her populace in agric sector yet they feed fine
The government should buckle up and meet her responsibilities .. They don't have any economic plan whatsoever
These are days of commercial agricultural practices.. We should be thinking of feeding Africa not only ourselves

Really ? Government should buckle up


It's only funny how when something does not go your way you cite USA an as example ,

Agriculture is a major industry in the United States, which is a net exporter of food. As of the 2007 census of agriculture, there were 2.2 million farms, covering an area of 922 million acres (3,730,000 km2), an average of 418 acres (169 hectares) per farm.

From Wikipedia So how many farms in Nigeria average 10 Hectares talk less of 100 or 400

Most farmers in USA have their mechanized equipments, how many tractors do you own / can you rent out


In your warped mind Goverment will employ farmers and pay them salaries ? You really should be the one confessing what you have been smoking all through the night ?

Is it a crime if the government assist the farmers with mechanized equipments since you know they are costly...
A responsible government with an economic blueprint can
Nigerians are not lazy.. They just need the right atmosphere and a little push
FG should Just give them steady light and see the spiral effect on the economy
Nigerians are hardworking

The sultan made valid points ... but as Nigerians we prefer the truth to come fron the lips of a white man . Obviously the sultan said we are lazy not Nigerians are lazy but taking words out of context seems to be the order of the day.
Re: Nigerians Are Hungry Because They Are Lazy – Sultan by Iamwrath: 8:39am On Apr 17, 2017
You , like others from particular ethnic divide always make sentimental comment , I asked people to go to farm, you said NO government must have blueprint

Now you are asking government for mechanized farming equipments , If you and your type dont go to farm, will government supply machines to
ghosts ?

Pity those before you and after you

Lagos is mostly an Island, Ordinary indonesia , Vietnam have the same characteristics , and they farm on their river beds / marsh and on rivers and controlled dams , if anyone was really interested / enterprising enough LAG would provide support and equipments , it only takes one person to start, Nigerians are natural competitors , copy copy as long as there's money involved


But you and your type prefer $5M mail scam , drugs and protesting up and down


And yes, i have checked your comments i know where your loyalty lies
