Gani Adams To Femi Adesina: Tell Buhari Nigerians Are Hungry by joshchisimdi: 4:08am On Apr 19, 2019
Gani Adams, the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yoruba land who spoke at the 2nd annual lecture of Freedom Online, which held in Ikeja, Lagos on Thursday, told Femi Adesina to tell President Buhari that Nigerians are hungry. The event had Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, as guest speaker, Adesina who is Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity and Adams were guests of honour while Onigbinde was the keynote speaker.

However speaking at the event, Adesina who spoke on the achievements of the Buhari’s administration since 2015, claimed that only those who chose to be willfully blind would not acknowledge government’s achievements. According to him, Nigeria’s agricultural export grew by 180.7 per cent; while raw materials export in the same year rose by 150.2 per cent. He also claimed that rice importation had reduced by 90 per cent, saving the country billions of dollars on a daily basis.

However Gani Adams who spoke after Femi Adesina reeled out his statistics, said it was beautiful but it meant little to the man on the street. He said, “You made a very good analysis, but by the time we check it, I know you are a very honest person and you are telling us the truth, but with this analysis, I think the grass-roots people should feel the government; they should feel the impact of government by all means.“I am a regular traveller; I’ve travelled to about 46 countries and I know what is happening in the developed world and when you see most of their economic analysts, they won’t tell you what they are doing theoretically but you will see what is happening.”


Gani Adams further told Femi Adesina to go back to Abuja and tell the President that the people were hungry. However Prof Akin Onigbinde described the statistics on Buhari’s achievements as “the reality that we cannot see.” Onigbinde said;

“I welcome my friend, Adesina, telling us the reality we cannot see; we are not wearing glasses, these are things I encounter on a daily basis. I have heard about the Metro Rice in Ogun State, I saw it only on television; it is not in Daleko Market and the rice is also not in Kuto.“I live in Bodija, I can’t see this rice. But Femi is my brother, he has a duty to direct our gaze to what we cannot see and we begin to see things in our imagination.”

I do not agree with Gani Adams on this. Even America, UK and other developed countries has homeless and hungry people let alone a Nigeria that was battered by 16 years misrule of PDP chop i chop politics. No wonder a shameless actress was tweeting about the lack of free money in circulation as against the status quo they're used to under the thieving PDP regime. When dasuki was disbursing money like ATM machine, when dieziani the frog eyed thief was embezzling billions Nigerians were not hungry. Now that we have a sane and prudent government whose single treasury account remittance has blocked majority of loopholes for yafun yafun money, Nigerians are suddenly hungry. The several rail projects scattered across the country is a testament to the fact that funds are been expended on infrastructure but under PDP regime a certain corrupt presidential spokesman Okupe was seen in a viral video deceiving Nigerians that the country cannot afford to build rails because we are not rich like America. Nigerians indeed dodged a bullet by voting against the PDP whose presidential manifesto was about enriching their friends and selling national assets to their cronies. How long will we continue playing belly politics? How does stomach infrastructure politics bring development? Is a serious nation built on eating food all day? Even the Bible says Man shall not live by bread alone ( Matthew 4:4).


Only a blind and ungrateful person will not commend this hard working president Buhari. May God keep him beyond 2023. Amen

Sometimes when I read the comments of fellow youth, one will start to wonder how much they are paid to type rubbish on a social media,the problem Nigeria has is a general one, me I know the Aare ona is not hungry for him to have said this, he said it based on observation.

You people will keep complaining and crying till kingdom come! Why? Because 180m people sit down expecting the President to do magic that will miraculously solve the nation's problems.

It is impossible. That is why we have been abusing and hating all our past presidents from OBJ to Shagari, to IBB, to Abacha, to OBJ again, to GEJ, PMB. ....and the next person. There is no easy solution!!!!!!
But we must produce the food that we eat, otherwise let us stop having children. What is the point of our population growing if we cannot produce food to eat? What the essence of being almost 200 million?

Okay thank you! When the dolllar runs out then what? You will offer your useless Naira to Thailand abi? Young man if we cannot produce our own food to eat, then there is no reason for our existence. We are already near 200m in population and we are importing food from countries with population of less than 50million? What does that tell you?
If we cannot produce simple food to eat why are we having children? What are we existing for? Let us perish then.......

As for me, we MUST produce our own food or go hungry and die! We have no reason to exist.

The government should please CONTINUE spending the little money we have on infrastructure. And that is what my president is doing! Rice is there in the North, if the rice merchants in Lagos choose to smuggle or patronise smugglers that is their business.

My perspective!

There is lake rice in lagos but it's not sold in the market. If it's sold in the market, the volume sold is too small to be noticed.

However, it's sold through some agents. For instance, there is a woman whose husband was once an LG chairman who sells lake rice around my street.

I use to doubt it till I saw it. But it looks like local rice. They need to improve.

Go to any market in Nigeria, you will not find any locally made rice, yet Buhari's foolish media men will post we have stopped rice importation, and his fooolish followers will not confirm the veracity of such information.

Even Lake Rice is as scarce as sapphire, Lagos state government themselves don't have it
