From recent events about the #EndSARS saga and its aftermath food shortage and hike in price in the south, is now clear that the southerners largely depend on the north for 98% of its food supply.. That's really pathetic, yet they're lands for arable farming in the south better than the north.

Pathetic to say the least!

We have the money they bring the food

Take away the southern market and the poverty in the north will quadriple

feed? are they dashing us they way the ND is dashing them oil money? are we not using our money to buy it? please stop saying nonsense

why closing the border? the south can buy from neighboring countries. the poverty, hunger and starvation in the north so how come they can't feed themselves?

When u mean north u mean middle belt right ?
Apart from beans and onions south gets nothing from core North

Potatoes and tomatoes comes from benue and jos , rice we eat imported rice down here and we farm alot too
Yam benue and cross rivers plus anambra too ,
That's all

We give u palm oil and garri in exchange for beans and onions ...so what ?
We give u vegetables ..

North and middle belt are not the same .....

The market is the real power ...togo would be ready to supply us all the food we need at a far cheaper rate even

why is togo not supply now...

I beg to defer with you on that .The south is the one feeding the North..thier leaders receive free money from the proceeds of the oil from the south , that is why they are Lazy.
On the other hand, the North makes available a bulk of the agricultural produce in Nigeria , which the South purchase with thier money and everyone is happy.
The North has never fed the south for free at any point in time in the history of Nigeria .

So na Benue Dangote set his tomato factory abi? What a classical mumuism

Sinzumoney:

ND doesn't produce oil? Chevron ,mobil produce oil ....ND is oil bearing not oil producing.....without oyinbo companies the oil will be in the ground ....while the tomatoes,beans yam ,carrot ,onion etc are all produced by hard work without any oyinbo ...

the biggest tomato belt in Nigeria is located in kadawa kano .....then jos.

Well you night be right to some extend although only about sixty percent is coming from those places, we farm here too, they provide us with meat, pepper and beans, we have our own pepper but it doesn't bear much like their side

Liar things are more costly in the North at the moment. Anything that comes in nylon is a overpriced now in the North. A sachet of tamato goes at 200 naira there at the moment

Lagos cannot match Kano in commercial activities.

All regions have their competitive peculiar advantages.

If Nigeria should harness the strengths of all its geopolitical zones and do away with ethno-religious sentiments, it will become the pride of every black man in the world.

Because the south is not one, you want to divide the north abi
E no work
When Buhari appoint someone from Benue of jobs, all I see from you people is, "another northerner"
So oga try again, that nonsense southerners dey play don expire

ahiboilandgas:
wrong Lagos is not in the same league with kano ....it far head of Kano in term of commerce ,finance and trade ....it the 4 Largest economy in Africa ......dont embrasss yourself pls ...

Forget Lagos, move the seasport from their and move those oil firms back to where they were supposed to be and you will see the wonder

Onions is equally as costly there, just two bulb difference at 500 naira.
And should I remind you the grocery gold there which is fish.
Fish is like diamond in the North. A full fish of 300 naira in the south can go as much as 1200 if you are able to even find it in the North.

We can't all be farmers bro! You closed the borders and imposed import bans on rice, beaf onions etec... Remove your ban and open the borders! We will be buying foodstuffs of better quality from ECOWAS countries at very cheaper rates, that will give us time to face the more important job of making money from our places of work. You feed nobody actually because you collect the last penny for every food items sold...It's like the Igbo trader making mouths about clothing Nigerians or being the reason Nigerians drive cars because he sells cothes and spare parts! Are the people in Cameroon and Tanzania not wearing clothes and driving cars?? Understand?

Tell them ooo. They are actually starving Nigerians with their monopolistic bans and price fixing! Most west Africans who are comparatively poorer to Nigerians, actually feed better than Nigerians because food is cheaper in their countries. Nigerians don't eat meat that much these days and you can notice the net effects on the appearance of a typical struggling Nigerian. We lack protein! Beaf is costly because the fulani with the help of the government has monopolised the business and are now fixing prices! Go to even neighbouring countries like Cameroon or Benin republic, change 5k naira and buy meat there. Come to Nigeria and use the same amount and you will see what I mean. Open the borders ahbegi! We want to import from other countries, after all almost every stuff being produced in other regions of the country apart from the north, can also be imported into Nigeria. The government is only protecting the herders from foreign competition..
