I am just trying to say that there should be ways to give these guys what they want through the implementation of science .for example grasses that thrive in places like the north (not too good at plant science but I think it's possible,implementing machine learning and IoT

Give them what they want... That's a wrong mindset! They should go and get what they want!!!

Let them plant weed...
Seeds of the plant cannabis sativa, hemp seed, contain all the essential amino acids and essential fatty acids necessary to maintain healthy human life. No other single plant source has the essential amino acids in such an easily digestible form, nor has the essential fatty acids in as perfect a ratio to meet human nutritional needs.

Cannabis leaves are also excellent as animal feeds especially for cattle and goats.

Also Cannabis is also the fastest growing bio mass in nature thus making it excellent in combating desertification.

Within 3mths from seeding, Cannabis can grow to the size of a shrub.

And being that it thrives in semi arid areas like northern Nigeria, the crop will be suitable in halting desertification and the socio-political ills that have plagued northern Nigeria.


Cannabis has also been found to be a very good source of biomass energy.

Other advantages of Cannabis cultivation in the north is that Cannabis can also create jobs as the  pulp can be used in making paper and fabrics.

In the area of fabrics, Cannabis could help rebound the cotton based textile industry.

One of the reasons the textile industries closed was because they were importing cotton since the local supplier wasn't able to meet their demand.


Cannabis as an alternative to trees in making paper will also lead to lower felling of trees worldwide and the north can benefit from Carbon levies imposed on European and Western companies who will invest in plantations in Nigeria to reduce their carbon footprint.

The resins from Cannabis have also been found to have wide medicinal use.

Some states in the US have since approved Cannabis for medical use.

Cannabis is a weed. It grows any where and requires very little attention.
This makes its cultivation very easy and less strainious.

Finally, the north needs a chill pill. Cannabis can promote the much needed one love that they don't have over there.

Shekau and his lunatic brethren need a big phat one .

I agree with you on that.But don't you think technology could come in at this point,like the other guy said about planting weed.We could look for a way to increase the growth exponetially
