tesppidd: if you know your stats, you would infer that because oil price/oil production was high during GEJ's time, the % contribution of agriculture would be lower. the % contribution of agriculture could either be due to: (1) low output from that sector (2) higher output from other sectors (oil, services) actual figures rather than percentages would tell you which government did better in Agriculture. |

einsteine: Bro, you missed the point or should I say, the point missed you. Not everyone can be a block chain engineer or a programmer. The 75k so called block engineers make in 3 days, footballers make it in 3 hours. Not everyone can play football. Nigeria's problem for everyone to become wealthy. It's for everybody to escape the extreme lower class. The background of any soceity is the middle class. If majority of Nigerians are middle class, purchasing power rises and we can consolidate on that to move into tech and ict. People in those countries cab think of bit coins because they don't have to worry about price of food. How many nigerians can afford to eat good food three times daily? Let's tackle a problem at a time and not compare ourselves with countries that solved our kindiscussion of problems 100 years ago. 1 Like |

Prodigytal: I am addressing your idea of people becoming wealthy from farming. Of course, people can make a living from farming. I said that in my post. You don't actually need people to go into farming to improve agriculture. In fact, agriculture, properly practiced, does not employ a lot of people. It is only when agriculture is inefficient that it employs a lot of people. 1 Like |

Prodigytal: Don't compare banking and music industry with agriculture. No country agricultural sector thrives without government support but in Nigeria there support is running to Media for campaign for youths to go back to farming like you are doing. I am a full time farmer myself and you don't expect me to be using crude method or using family members for my labour ....and stop talking about cocoa. I was at IITA last week to make enquiries but they never told me about a year plus cocoa 1 Like |

Prodigytal: The society is so rotten that the person might be kidnapped. If he survives the herdsmen he may not escape the kidnappers. To get pple into farming the govt must play its part. A secured and friendly environment is starting point for any economy that wants to grow. |

frowland:The information is not misleading. While I agree that the value of the 20% of a GDP in 2017 might be higher than 30% of a GDP in 2009, the aspect from which I want us to look at the infrograph is the 'proportion' of agriculture contribution to our GDP. The questions we need to answer are: 1) Why the fall in propostion? 2) Is it normal that agrriculture is crawling why other sectors are moving forward? 3) Is it not naturally normal that our agricultural sector increase in operation and harvest as our population increases? |

Prodigytal: Farming doesn't generate great wealth. the money is in processing and sales of farm produce. I just hate the propaganda about Agric. We are better off using our numerical strengths for production but power generation is a major problem. |

tesppidd: And I was expecting one olodo to make this comment too. If I may ask what is the difference from 2013 to 2017? What difference did your baba make? Maybe you lack ability to analyse numbers... Pls calculate the percentage difference between those successive years I gave and let the world know your answer... |

Figures couldn't be correct. Under Buhari.... the price of oil plummeted.... the agricultural sector was given a big boost by the severe restrictions of agricultural imports and many went to the land... so how can the figures remain the same and even less?...when under GEJ price of oil was high and agricultural production very low? |

einsteine: I understand and enjoy your input. And when I mentioned agriculture, it wasn't only farming. Processing, storage, secondary products, cash crops etc. I saw how leather was processed in kano in mud Wells. It's a nightmare. Young people should tap markets light that rather than buying benz. |

tete7000:Malu The difference you are looking for is that between 2014 and 2017. That's the difference you seek. From 2010 to 2014 there was a consistent decrease. From 2015 till date it began to pick up. That says a lot. That's the only numbers you need to analyze. Every President's result must be a function of where they met it. Ode' |

smithsammy: No, you are wrong @ point # 2 & 3. Other sectors have remained thesame %age wise just like in Agric sector over this same period. What you will look at is the total real terms and not in percentage. There is NOTHING wrong if year in year percentage remains the same as long as there is general growth in GDP. Look, the error when using percentage to drive your point is that if agriculture is increasing, one or other sectors MUST have a drop. So from the above article, the sector is actually doing well. Thanks. |

smithsammy: What does it mean if the size of the agricultural sector in terms of GDP is increasing? It means your economy isn't doing well. Even if your agricultural sector grows by 10%, other sectors are supposed to grow faster i.e 12% for instance. That's why you find that the richer and more advanced countries are, the smaller the size of the agriculture sector. It is rare to find rich country with an agricultural sector contributing up to 4% of GDP. Thailand which is an upper middle income country and which exports more food than all Africa combined has an agricultural sector that's only 10% of GDP. Malaysia which is also an upper middle country with an agricultural sector which Nigeria wishes to emulate has a size that is less than 10% of GDP. The country economic growth from 2015 has been nothing to write home about and that exposes the problem. 1 Like 2 Shares |

The stats need context. Im guessing agricultural is lower as a percentage because annother sectory outpaced it. |

Prodigytal:Govt can influence a lot. The govt recapatalize the banks and even injected 7bn USD into it under Soludo so Govt was key to banking and even at that, banking loan rates are still chocking competitiveness out of small and medium businesses. |
