How do you farm when you're likely to be killed by marauding fulani men?
I think those that do not have the Marauders issue should. Besides, have we ever stop traveling by road because people die on road accident?

I always get mad when people make idealist statements like yours and try to make excuses for the government.
Which country does not import? Which one? We have government agencies tasked with ensuring that the imported products meets certain level of quality before they enter the country but what happens..? Yet you see junks and substandard products everywhere... We see imported stew, Pizza, rice... And the only thing you hear is a blanket ban!

A reasonable government is that which knows the right person to hang when things go wrong. The customs boss is still there, son, nafdac etc...
A government can't force people to farm or even do any other jobs for that matter. People only need enabling business environment to thrive. How readily available are lands for farmers, improved varieties of crops, cost of fertilizers, available machineries for hire....?

Are the "educated youths" aware of the availability of these things in case they are available? And what's the government doing in making them aware? Business is profit driven- people will rush into farming when they feel it's highly profitable.

And there's no where in the world where everyone own a garden or produce their own food. Everyone can't be hard working and those that have money can't be told how to use their money. This is a real world.
One of the reasons I supported PMB was cause he said he'll assemble a team of competent hands to help run the country when elected- something I felt the previous administration lacked. But alas, every post is still occupied by politicians making decisions to suit their political interests.
Seriously, it's frustrating.
I'm just giving an opinion

The marauding fulani men are killing people all over the country. Every region of this country has the same issue. The government ought to have addressed some of these issues first before closing our borders.

Back in the day when something is rediculously cheap we say it's chicken change or chicken feed.

Thanks to the Fulani herds men that have choosen to discourage farmers who are ready to farm.
