LAGOS- Pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, on Friday said Northerners cannot threaten the South with the withdrawal of cattle and other food produce as there are other alternatives where the items can be purchased.

There have been fears that an acute shortage of beef, vegetables, tomatoes and onions, among other essential edibles from the North may soon hit Southern Nigeria as foodstuff and cattle breeders, under the aegis of Amalgamated Union of Foodstuff and Cattle Dealers of Nigeria (AUFCDN) had four days ago threatened to withdraw their services.

However, Yinka Odumakin, the organisation’s National Publicity Secretary who spoke in a chat with DAILY INDEPENDENT listed countries such as Togo, Benin Republic as friendly countries where the South can purchase cattle and other items withdrawn by the North.

He also said the withdrawal of foodstuffs by the North will benefit the South as it will make the people do more in the area of agriculture.

Odumakin who said there are other sources of protein that the South can consume aside from cows however said the Northerners shouldn’t also forget that the oil from the country flows from the North to the South.

“If they withdraw their cows from the South, no problem about that. Before cows, we had what we are eating. Cows are not the only source of protein, there are several other sources. It will encourage our people to do more in the area of agriculture.

“We have neighbours who are peaceful in Benin Republic, Togo and other places that we can buy things from. They can’t threaten us with anything such as withdrawal of item.

“They should also not forget that petroleum goes from south to the north. So, they should be careful. When you are throwing stones at your neighbours, you should be careful what he throws back at you,” he said.

CHESTBEATERs.

Go import your cows from togo and benin, you will still have to buy it from fulani people.

How many yorubas can rear cows and goats?

How many of you are commercial farmers?

You all laugh at farmers saying you want office jobs, where is the office job? You don't have farms and no agriculture.

All your lands have been sold to foreigners, your commercial city ( lagos) is owned by foreigners.

What can you chestbeat about?

Who else notice when the north is addressing the East, they’re more respectful in their utterances?

But when they come to address the west, it’s filled the threats and caveats?

Ok

very true and they will do well because no herdsman to attack farmers again

Leave those Northerners, let them learn in a hard way.

They actually believe they are doing us a favour by selling their produce to us in exchange for our money.

The foods core north supplies South West Nigeria are;

Onions, Tomatoes, Beans and Beef(Cow)

The South west cultivate tomatoes although not in large quantities in Oyo state.

And Onions and Beans can be smuggled from Benin republic into Oyostate and Ogunstste to the rest of South West.

There are many enough alternatives to Meat.


Inaddition to the above information, most of the goods that Northerners are now hoarding are perishable goods that can easily go bad if not sold on time.

Civilization make Southern people to abandon farming...

Growing up as a kid, during holidays, we always travel to the village for the holiday break... We, I mean my family alone produce almost all common food, cassava, pepper, tomatoes

Oga, we are not in the 15th century... Even if our land can't produce some crops, we can acquire sand soil that fits for the crops.

Stop the talking and issue action plans for the Yoruba, direct the Yoruba to go and open the Benin Borders and stop explaining to the Northern terrorist.

Take actions, i don’t knw what kind of indecisive leaders you guy are.

Order the Yoruba people to open borders and bring in food period!

How can fulani terrorist, the very people at the forefront of slaughtering farmers in Northwest and North east ban movement of agricultural produce to the South? Apart from cows, fulanis don't produce any food item in Northern Nigeria. As such, they have NO right to stop hausa farmers from selling their produce to Southerners.

No bi our money we dey take buy the cow meat and vegetables?
