If beef imports are banned why can't YOU produce your own beef?

You would rather eat 'sodomized beef' than rear your own?

Lazy drug peddlers, yahoo yahoo specialists and ashawos.

And why is the fulani coming down south to graze their cattle?

The era of tsetse fly is over as our forests have been widely depleted which makes cow grazing possible .

But your northern masters are killing each other for the sparce grazing lands available.

It is the north that can't sustain both subsistence farming and marauding fulani nomadic herding coupled with drought and desertification and that's why they are coming down south...

The south is more than able to surpass the north in any form of agriculture .

No you don't. You pay very little for it, which is why even beggars in the south can afford to eat orishirishi.

Paying ''in full'' means paying WORLD prices in dollars, you illiterate.




You would starve without them, so they are doing you a great service



But who forced you to eat northern food?

You can even import beef online these days if that is your preference. But no. You will still go for northern food and meat. THIEF.



Because they have a market of 100 million starving, lazy southern dependents ready to buy up all they produce!
lol, who is actually starving here the south or north where children go with plates looking for scrumbs from dustbin (no where else does this happen)

Or which region again is shipping adult beggers like ambassadors to southern regions to beg for food.

Every discussion simply turns to insults and attacks on each other. The issue is about the suitability of certain crop and animal types to do well in certain locations and climates. It's just like it will be hard to grow palm trees in the North.

Crops can suffer due to water in the soil, soil type, soil acidity , temperature etc. If we all go back to our agric science books we can clearly see that not all crops and livestock thrive well across zones. Even the colonial masters found livestock, corn, groundnuts and cotton to do well in the North. While palm oil, rubber and cocoa do well in the south. It's not a mistake science shows so.

Modern farming methods can help change the space but we may need improved GMO seedlings or breeds adapted to the different zones to get the desired results or we grow them in specialized, controlled environments. Down side is our local farmers can't afford the cost of modern farming and market forces may go against them.Especially where I can produce same crops naturally at a cheaper cost. It's not about laziness,value or all the nonsense people spew here.

You will also note that at some point tse-tse fly was an issue to raising cattles in the south hence the choice of a different breed being introduced as against the fulani white.

The Northern breed of goats and sheep's also struggle to cope or survive down south. But the western African dwarf goat does super well in the same south.

That said people need to stop hating. We as a people need to do business with each other. In reality every entity of the state has something to offer.

You need the market, they need food etc. Nobody is being cheated we all pay for what we use or get. No market offers anything free.

Na by mouth? PROVE IT by developing agriculture and animal husbandry in the south.

Self sufficiency is not by mouth and boasting. DO IT LET US SEE.

Or is Buhari stopping you from farming? The man is even encouraging you lot with various incentives to face agriculture, but no. Na yahoo yahoo and ashawo una prefer. Plus coming online to abuse him.

Useless, lazy people.

If you are self sufficient, why do you depend on the north for food?

LIAR.
your skull must be too cracked from slamming to realize the south doesn't depend on the north for food.

The north is buying palm oil, garri, etc to the north.

The south is buying beans etc to it's region

It's a balanced trade, but when you talk of who is suffering from poverty and starvation it is the north which goes with plates on the streets

The north east is an arid dessert, that is why fulani herdsmen come to the middle belt and south to allow their cows to graze.

You like and you know it.

FG through Ministry of Agriculture provides everything from seedlings to fertilizers to building earthdams and other irrigation schemes . The FG even buys grains directly from farmers in an elaborate corruption scam that makes the north come out with ridiculous production outputs to justify the fake govt grain buyouts .

The north is dirt poor and that's the reason we live you slaves to farm for us

By the way, we don't get the food free , we pay for it in full . So stop doing like you are doing us a service .

If we were not one Nijeriya do you think we will limit ourselves to your diseased sodomized cows or your diseased tomatoes ?

If you are so good at farming why is northern Nigeria not exporting food ?
Dam construction is necessary just like calling investors to invest in Nigeria but do u think people are fool to allow govt buy their products?
All processed tomatoes, pepper, onion u eat are the product of north. North export sesame and grains worth trillions of naira to many African countries and Asia.
You can say whatever u want out of hate but u can't take away reality. Even if u buy our food not free bt is obvious if u were to buy from foreign nations u may not be able to afford it.
The way u commented reflected deep hatred for North in ur mind and u'll keep giving u HBP i f u're not careful.
I wonder how can a sane human being go to religious congregations and be feed with all sort of hypocrites and unfortunately without using ur sense of decorum u'll come here and spit the baseless conspiracy they program in ur heads. Why can't u check facts? By the way, is there any agricultural program limited to any section of the country? Everyone can access similar FG schemes, they're online for both farmers and MSME, ICT and innovations, digital skills, star ups but hatred and bigotry won't allow u to see all these and be claiming only us benefit from them, who exclude u?
