All these northern leaders are doing is stoking the embers of anger among the people and they don't know it yet.

The sultan is saying the bitter truth. Nigerians keep blaming the government for all their misfortune. I personally have an uncle who is lazy, he does not have any form of formal education, he don't pay tax in any form but he is good at sitting at home listening to radio and blaming the government. He'll always say " they are using OUR money to buy car". I'll just look at him and say "oga u dey pay tax" ( but na inside my mind I dey talk am sha). We should blame the government 20% and use 80% of our time to work hard and be innovative

No offense but what on planet earth are u saying for God sake. Ever heard of direct and indirect tax.
No road
No light

And u want farming to flourish huh?

Ur uncle no dey pay light bill
That radio Ur uncle is listening to he paid indirect tax

Nigerians are d most hard working people on earth forget this lazy talk from the emir

As an emir wetin b e function for the country other than to pocket large some of money.

Maybe the Sultan came across as generalising but he's certainly correct in many ways.

Laziness prevented our leaders from investing in diversifying the economy and mechanizing agriculture to produce food and ensure food security.

Petroleum spoilt everything, instead of being a blessing as in places with sensible leaders.

Before you know it, many of the youths now find agriculture to hard and dirty. Which bleaching slay queen would go to farm these days? Which city boy wearing Chelsea, Barcelona & ManU shirt up and down will go clear forest to grow yam? Meanwhile they are jobless, penniless and like to eat food from the farm.

We now want easy money. And office jobs that are not forthcoming. Many jobless people in the cities have no business there. There are arable land in their ancestral villages. In the end we have many social issue: area boys, yahoo yahoo, thieves, robbers, ritual killers, etc. Trying to survive in the city jungles.

It is that small, subsistence agriculture for immediate family that breeds poverty. Is food the only requirement for survival? Will people not progress beyond food for the stomach? Even for d food can one grow everything? Will u not buy others like fish, meat, oil etc? Will they not wear clothes, buy electronics, raise children et al?

The Sultan's reasoning and yours are myopic. Basic agriculture gets one nowhere in the long run, it is the commercial industrialization that makes it viable and rakes in the income. That is where the government must come in and see to it that agriculture becomes viable at the highest possible level. Herdsmen remain backward in their nomadic style and continue causing havoc n mayhem yet we're nowhere near the top exporters of beef n milk. We even import those items!


Excellent response ..Respect

The Sultan is apt in his submission

We Nigerians are just lazy

Lazy physically and mentally being reason why we have thirst for easy and fast money and can not muster the courage to confront and stand against slavemasters who claim to be our leaders

We are only strong when it comes to looting and killing ourselves.

Simply put

People like World1 on NL agric section show what youths can do with modern agric if determined.

I agree Nigerians are lazy but why can't the government provide basic amenities like good road, housing and electricity. So who is now the lazier group, the leaders or the led? I see hypocrites everywhere.

Madam let me educate you
Agriculture is the main source of national income for most developing countries. However, for the developed countries, agriculture contributes a smaller per cent age to their national income. Agricultural sector provides fodder for domestic animals .Cow provides people with milk which is a form of protective food.
Sorry to say, but its you who needs education.

Instead of this your pay per postpost business, why not depend on farming for your immediate family since you are not a lazy Nigerian.

Do you pay all your taxes and rates fully to the local government authorities and state plus federal as appropriate?
If you don't, how will your family's hard work magically translate to a better society at large?

Point of correction my dear northern dimwit: Organised, mechanised agriculture is the main source of income for SOME not ALL developing countries. Not subsistence farming which only brings in peanuts. Subsistence farming is just what the name implies: It is self-sufficiency farming in which the farmers focus on growing enough food to feed themselves and their families. The output is mostly for local requirements with little or no surplus trade. In other words, no nation has ever developed itself purely from the proceeds of the subsistence agriculture that you and your moronic sultan are advocating.

“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"

The above quoted as said by the Sultan is only applicable to the North. We don't depend on government to help us in SW, all we demand is infrastructural development to enable our businesses strive and ensure prompt payment of salary for those who are working for government. How do we run after wealthy individuals for help when we hardly have access to their residences? I know of a truth that in the North,wealthy people throw their gates open for both conventional and corporate almajiris hence, I think the Sultan meant the North when he said Nigerians

100 percent agree. Hunger can only be caused by laziness that sits at the bar with ignorance sipping from the mug of poverty. That is the summary of Nigeria. They claim corruption is the cause, but I have never seen a wealthy man (not rich man) become poor because his bacon was stolen. Like the tropical elephant grass he may be cut down in summer and burnt to ashes in autumn, but at the first scent of the spring rains he sprouts again. That is the Briton, Amercian, Korean, Chinese but can anyone explain how the Nigerian has progressively decayed, degraded and diminished steadily since independence....under both military and civilian rule, democratic and autocratic leadership, kleptomaniacs and 'frugalitarians' and across all tribes, tongues and temperances....if not the common denominator.... the lazy, pig headed, criminally minded, ignoramus called the Nigerian....
