If you are hoping on importation to fill the gap, remember that we run the borders, we can close Seme again plus other southern land borders.

We can handpick the foods to be imported from the ports because we are in charge of that sea access too. We can ban chicken and fish imports, alongside tomato and onions imports.


Life is turn by turn dude..

Power is transient, remember?

I will like the so call northan people blocking supply to south to think well most of the good food they consumed in the North where consumed by the southern people living in the north. The his why you see the holding plates at front of restorants in the northern states waiting for leftover food . They should go and feed the son's first.
They take more garri in the north than south, red oil? Colanuts etc

Inform me, somebody, grin , please, who is the president of the country called North that has decided to sanction farm produces formerly given in charity to the country called South lead by president who? Also I’d like to know if the farmers and cattle breeders of the country called North are independent or work for the Country called North (i.e State owned). In addition, are the Countries called North and South federal republics? If they are, what are the opinions of their respective state governors to the edict that farmers in their state are to boycott sales of farm produce to the country called South?

Clowns everywhere ...

South is fertile and everything is favorable for us.

Let them stop it, you'll be surprised how local produce would be moved to the urban market.

It will put an end to crop wastage, and alternatives will be provided to brace the low supplies of certain goods

Instead of their tomatoes, we have this tomato that's huge and long around, few people know this.

Instead of yam, we'll eat our cocoyam and others.

Instead of onion, we'll take our locust beans and fermented melon again.

We'll also drink our fruits and eat our locally produced vegetables.

4Chan’s latest, terrible ‘prank’: Convincing West Africans that Ebola doctors actually worship the disease

By
Caitlin Dewey
Reporter

Washington Post


The message-board 4chan has been rightly blamed for many unsavory Internet things: the celebrity nude scandal, the dangerous “bikini bridge” meme, the brief virality of the self-harm hashtag #cuttingforBieber.

Now, the denizens of one of the Internet’s least-principled places are attempting to propagate another tasteless meme: She’s called Ebola-chan, and she’s some cross between a prank, a witless joke and a truly vile strain of racism.

“Have you welcomed her into your heart yet?” Asks one post on 4chan’s “politically incorrect” message board, /pol/. “I’m talking, of course, about Ebola-Chan. The viral goddess of love and Afrocide … Our shrines and incantations give her strength.”

Ebola-Chan is not, needless to say, a goddess anywhere outside of 4chan’s diseased imagination: The character is a /pol/ invention, a cartoon mascot for the virus that could infect half a million people within the next four months.



In fan art — of which there is, surprisingly, quite a lot — she’s depicted as a pointy-chinned, wide-eyed anime character with pink pigtails that curl into the shape of the virus. Wherever she’s posted, users are expected to reply with choruses of “I love you, Ebola-Chan” or “thank you, Ebola-Chan.” But of course, they reply with all kinds of stomach-turning stuff, as well: hopes for Ebola to wipe out all of Africa, to strike other continents or demographics, and to otherwise “remove … [the] subhumans,” as one particularly racist post put it.

It’s hard to tell how much of the chatter is genuine: 4chan, with its reputation for both ammorality and mischief, has always attracted a crowd of ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ lolz-seekers along with the sincere racists, misogynists and homophobes.

But regardless of whether the fine people of 4chan actually hope Ebola kills more people, some seem bent on helping it do just that. On Sunday, an anonymous 4chan user took responsibility for a series of fake posts about Ebola-Chan on the Nigerian Web site Nairaland, which claimed, among other things, that Ebola was a demon sent by a “new racist cult in Europe and in the USA.” The posts also claimed that some Western Ebola doctors belonged to the cult. While the “rumors” were reported by outlets like Vocativ and the International Business Times, Nairaland users promptly called out the trolling — much to the prankster’s disappointment.

“The whole thing needs more effort,” he complained.

This is, of course, all in the standard 4chan playbook. 4chan pranks usually unfold in predictable stages: an inside joke of some kind is born on the boards, its participants invent fake handles on forums or social networks to propagate it elsewhere, and everybody dances in the resulting confusion. (“It made it into the news in my country,” one man wrote of a Swiss article on Ebola-Chan. “Pretty funny.”)

It stops being funny, of course, the instant that anyone misses the “joke” and takes it seriously. In January, 4chan’s bikini bridge “joke” went viral within the Internet’s pro-anorexia and -bulimia communities, to the enormous alarm of the National Eating Disorder Association. In Africa, where misinformation and superstition about Ebola flourish, that risk could be particularly high: As Reuters reported in late June, suspicion and fear of doctors has already undermined efforts to fight the disease — and that’s without rumors that said doctors belong to some Ebola-worshipping death cult.

4chan’s moderators seem to be aware of the problem, at least: While the site didn’t respond to The Post’s request for comment on the issue, they’ve apparently started to go after Ebola-Chan threads.

“MODS!” one user posted. “Ebola-chan threads are not allowed. Pls remove.”

But even if the mods do remove them, Ebola-Chan may have done her damage. Much like the disease itself, now that she’s out there, there’s no controlling her.

“I loved witnessing the birth of ebola-chan,” another user wrote over the weekend. “However things are [e]scalating to some weird levels.”

seunayantokun:


Correct answer.

There is an opportunity for Lagos State government there to supply all vegetable and protein needs of Lagos from there, create jobs, and really pocket Nigeria. Already 60% or a little more of the economic strength of Nigeria is in Lagos. Statistics in telecom, power/energy, etc prove this.

So, Lagos can be another Japan, and its likes. It can be done like this: Give the land to individuals ready for it, support them with all that is needed, then buy the produce from them. You take tax and loan repays. They are happy because they will be very rich. The government takes care of storage and supply to the market, and export.

If Lagos government is really ready, it will work and some people up there will regret it.
I fully agree with you on this.

Forget cassava. The south is already sufficient in cassava.
You can add onion if it is possible.

Godarz:


I'm going to be a bit cynical and say that the South is not going to take to mechanized farming....not when the biggest business in the South is importation, and food importation is a large segment of that industry

Then we don't have a strong enough manufacturing sector...meaning any machinery for agric would have to be imported.Raises the cost.0

Finally most Nigerian youngsters are not interested in farming.Everyone wants to migrate to the city, and live the city life.Especially when you get a degree or school cert.

As such, not enough people would be interested in mechanized farming.
If Southern governors want to, it's very easy to achieve in 2 years.
Farm work is not as difficult as before; with knapsack sprayer you are good to go.

Well, like I said...I am very cynical

You have to fix the lack of interest...and there is the financing bit (Banks don't lend money for agric easily in this country...even if the person requesting for the loan has the means to pay back the loan)

can you stand in the north and monitor vehicle bringing food in the south? i believed as a custom officer from North, you must stand in southern land to seized the vehicle bringing food to south. and the southerners will be watching you do that. i wonder the population of the northern customs at southern borders to do that. By then we will know if you have three head or just one head as a person. and even when the item was seized it will be taken to northern bound house. sometimes you people don't think well. You believed if situation reach to that level southern can watch you a northern FGN officer to mover freely in the south? may God help the north to introduce this disunity and let see where it's leads Nigerians

Miyetti Allah does not have the authority for that and Buhari cannot try that. So go bleep yourself. And if Bubu likes, let him try it. He go hear am.

So we will import and there is nothing you can do about it.

You are blaming lugard because the table is turning against you. Since Igbos have been blaming lugard you were laughing at them. This will tell you that a wound of one is a wound of all. Southern Nigeria must come together now.
