Amotolongbo:
young man.

Face the reality and stop projecting the non existing ego of our continent.

Brilliant response.

OlujobaSamuel:

We might have so many problems, but for now, food shortages isn't one.
If it's imported, will it be shared for free? Can an average Nigerian afford imported food?
Everything is not about rubbishing ourselves.

Fastestmanalive:


Didn't you read what the guy said
he said that exporting it is unprofitable and it would make them run at a loss
So basically there's nothing anyone can do

Stop dragging Africa in ur mud

Martinola:
Make these food items find a way to africa nah
Wat a waste

ProfDview1:
Is buhari mad? How can he tell farmers to destroy food when we are hungry here... What kind of useless president is this na?

Buhari has been known to always destroy things sha.

His herdmens destroyed our farms and the little we cud even harvest, buhari told them to destroy again.


Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I dey tell u. My truck of rice stayed at portharcourt border for 3 days. Until a friend begged an inspector of police to go with us and plead for it to pass through. Local rice o. Not foreign sef. I weak for this country

henribj:


The food was destroyed because nowhere to store it. Take for example, you have a deep freezer in your house, you stock the freezer with food and it gets filled up, then tomorrow all your neighbors bring food to you as Easter rice etc, where will you store the new food given to you by all your neighbors? You will end up throwing some away.

Amotolongbo:
Can they find a way of importing them to Africa instead of destroying them?

With the way things will start going this week, NCDC will start getting their confirmed cases mixed up, thinking that the deaths recorded are COVID-19, not knowing that majority of the deaths are from HUNGER-20.
And we know that when one is severely hungry, it can manifest with different symptoms. Too much hunger can show the combination of symptoms of Ebola Corona and HIV in just one manifestation.

Most of the people to drive shipments are likely under lockdown.

Also, the farm output and logistics may be mostly local and may not have factored interstate shipment especially with perishable goods that do not use preservatives (based on customer requirements and local regulations). So the farm needs to purge itself of wastes in the short term to survive.

This is similar to the close of Nigeria’s borders where trucks of goods got stranded. All perishable goods become a problem for the driver (and owner of the goods) in a matter of days.

Force majeure!

You have food but yet your monthly minimum wage cannot afford two bags of rice?
The reality is that people are not eating or looking for other alternative that is not their favorite because of inflation

persius555:
This is one area that governments globally have failed woefully. Food security has always been the exclusive of private companies and individuals.

It exposed the incompetents of government to coordinate proper food distribution along the entire food value chain. And you have knuckleheads chairing boards of that useless UNFPA.

Sometimes, I ponder if humanity actually need government to survive. Aside from taxing individual to death and making Draconian laws that put hindrance to human development, engaging in senseless wars, printing and controlling where and how money flows, what better use is government?

Happyfela:
You mean the Africa that is already in the mud. Foolish pride.

tonyhoney:

This dude get no sense. When will you be wise? Nonsense and calamity

GermanMelania:


But you don't have to eat rice. Or imported rice. ( i hate to even say that as food should be a pleasure)

Rice isn't the most nutritious either.
Everytime you order imported you are sending money abroad to people who already have more than you. Until our leaders learn to negotiate trade agreements where the other country buys back from us instead of just infrastructure loans and we do our part buying as local as possible that 2 bag of rice salary will not change.

I don't understand why the foods were destroyed. I thought this should be the time they need all the food they can get especially now that the whole country is on lockdown.
Ayam not understanding

There are definitely better ways of handling d situation instead of destroying d food

You just think "africa" should be a dumping ground. The milk has to be processed within 48 hours. There are no extra trucks to carry the milk. "Africa" produces enough food however most of it is lost because we dont have good preservation and distribution. You keep wondering why things are not gettibg better in "africa' but want to import rubbish. This is how the clothing industry was destroyed. East african countries trief to outlaw used clothing but american and other countries with intesrests in selling used clothing would not free their govts to act accordingly. Kokoro ti ounje efo... finish it.
