How about a true, factual perspective from a team of 7 professional, reputable southern journalists from an independent southern newspaper?

Trust those reports at your own peril.......
A congo of beans was around#800 before the blockade but their report recorded an increase of #100.... from #600 to #700 which is absolute lie....

How would expect a corn seller at off-season to tell you accurate information for product that is unavailable due seasonal scarcity?

The hike that was reported in that piece of news in about general inflation accross all the geopolitical zones of the country.

Be not deceived my brother, that blockade was exercise in futility and if it achieve anything at all, it is exposition of the northern farmers to untold hardship and demoralization.

Next time they should stage their blockade at planting season when there's natural scarcity already.... But this one was ill timed, hence shooting themselves in the foot.

Yeah the strike was about gaining concessions. Why else would they engage in these actions. Since when was FFF a representative of the SW? The FG doing a pointless payout is an accomplishment but they payout all manner of degenerates so it's no surprise.

Are you relying on facts or just creating your own reality? Their strike demands were clearly outlined. If you call their demand for safety and free movement in the South a concession demand, then they surely got it based on their agreement with the government and Fani Kayode who conveyed "especially Igbohoe's" assurances.

This same FFK that just a few days ago was celebrated as an opinion leader when he initially retorted in defiance that the SW would retaliate instead of bending to the traders demands? This same FFK that stated clearly that he came as a representative of the SW and his reconciliation effort had the blessing of Igbohoe who the Yoruba has adopted as their defacto leader? The same FFK that was celebrated by Yorubas here and offline as Igbohoe's mouthpiece? Its been over 24 hours but have you heard Igbohoe deny or debunk FFKs claims and peace overtures?

Finally the country didn’t pay out degenerates. They paid compensation, and rightly so, to innocent food and agricultural traders union whose members have lost their lives and property to savage ethnic attacks by animals in the south and are threatening the food security of the southern part of the country as a consequence.
Face reality.

Doesn't change the fact the market would have adjusted. You just pointed out prices increase when supply decreased. The embargo ended after a weak as predicted with the status quo unchanged.

The markets would have adjusted with supplies from where? Have the poor, tiny neighbouring countries you were planning to import from finished feeding themselves? You think those traders lamenting wouldn't have started sourcing from there? Lol. You think the Yoruba intelligentsia would have allowed FFK go and seek for reconciliation if they had any real alternatives? Prices increased as supply from the north stopped so what does that imply? Lol. Without the assurances from southern leaders as channeled through FFK which satisfied their demands alongside the compensation, the blockade would have lasted weeks or months which would have been utterly devastating for a south that was already lamenting in the real world after just a few days.

(a) Law abiding northerners have been given commitments from the South through its envoy FFK & "especially Igbohoe" that they will no longer be attacked in the South and are free to move as Nigerians (again have you heard Igbohoes denial?). (b) The cattle and food traders union got their compensation and can revive their businesses and continue supplies to the south. (c) The North inadvertently clearly demonstrated its critical role in the Nations food security.

The status quo has changed and very clearly too. Ask Igbohoe.

Blue3k:
On my previous thread on the topic all the smart people predicted this action would not last. Teetee777 Gandollaar seunlayi predicted the embargo wouldn't last a week. The drama queens exaggerating the of the importance of this event need to ask themselves why they couldn't see this coming.

Lessons:

1. These sellers don't have a monopoly on food production. This means new suppliers and importers are ready to meet demand.

2. Nobody can sustain losses indefinitely.

3. Embarking on this embargo hurt northern economy hence why the kogi governor asked them to end embargo.

4. Nigeria culture is full of empty threats and bravado.

Food embargo of just FIVE days, there was already complaints of food scarcity in the entire southern part of Nigeria. What if the strike had been extended to a month? What would have happened?
You asked what was achieved? The next time you guys go on killing rampage of their members, the embargo gonna be like three months.

Blue3k:


Oh well the innocent onew should've fought back or called the police compliance isnt mandatory . It's pretty funny when you realize this was just to feel important and nothing more. The plan was always stupid but they bought their own hype believing people would starve to death without them.

See ignorant talk! If they start killing southerners living in the north, how exactly are they going to fight back? Call the police! You're a joke. Because you knew that there is no police in Nigeria most especially with the fallout of #Endsars protests

You are still chest beating �

While your miscreants blocked roads, these traders still found a way round it.

Aboki and foolishness.

The man with the money has the power and authority.

Your loses must be unquantifiable.

Who begged you to lift your blockade?

FFK he would say

Blue3k:


I agree and it does end the myth people would starve without them. All the benefits if the gambit seems to go to SW longtern. I really cant see how the north benefited considering no laws or regulations have changed.



It accomplished nothing essentially since Nigeria was one before the embargo.

Let their innocent members be killed again! The test run had been carried out and they knew how vulnerable we are with the food insecurity, they are already grabbing us balls. Two months food embargo will reset our brain

QuotaSystem:
3 Core Fruits of the Food Embargo.

1. The main concern of the Northern traders was addressed. Commitments regarding their safety and free movement were extracted from the SW envoy and the Federal Government so their primary objective was achieved.

2. Their secondary request for compensation has also been considered and they will receive billions of Naira in compensation.

3. The North has demonstrated clearly that it holds the keys to the nations food security and is an important, strategic contributor to the nations well being & commonwealth, as was indicated by the widespread scarcity, price hikes and lamentations by consumers and marketers for the duration of the food blockade into the SW. The south also benefited by a renewed awareness of its dependence on the North for several food items and the need to become as self sufficient as soon as possible.

Thanks man. Let them continue bragging after some influential people begged the food suppliers on their behalf.

I find the professional report of 7 reputable, identifiable southern journalists from an independent southern newspaper much, much more authentic & reliable than your individual, skewed opinion. Thank you .

Their ego is so bruised that they're desperately trying to save face by discrediting FFK who clearly stated those who he was representing and whose message he was conveying; same person they were hailing just days ago for responding defiantly to the North when the blockade was announced.

Just allow them, its not easy

FFK and Sunday arent representives of the southwest plain and simple. Online clout doesn't make make you anything other than celebrity. They arent government envoys who speak for the state. The government already gave free movement and safety. It's a right they just regulated certain activities.

Criminal activity like high illegal checkpoints is an example of corrupt federal government. The state would the one doing that. Again the state made no concessions.

You do know there are major food exports in the world outside of Africa. Nigeria itself isnt anything special in terms of food production. They can easily fill the demand Nigeria has for these items. Buhari had to ban some of these items like beef wbd pork because local producers couldnt compete.

Yes Nigeria did pay them for their criminality. The strike was imposed on people who didnt agree which why you reas stories of certain goods being impounded. Property theft isnt legal.

Lol you pussies dont have liver to fight criminal living in your forrest and kidnapping your daughters weekly. Please save the tough talk loser. Lastly why do you clowns always feel entitled to be criminality is it required to agree strike.

I'm a southerners with functional brain. You were not told that money with no goods and services to buy is useless? You were not taught that money is useless unless you have something to exchange it for? With the food import ban, Abokis are your master. They can decide to starve of your to death with six months. I thought they were the lazy parasites before, but now I knew who the real lazy parasites are. Big shame

The problem with many of you is you hardly understand what strike was all about. Until you do, dwell in your ignorance because I'm not here to explain anything to you.
Dicksons with livers that couldn't feed themselves. Lol

Thanks for ending your foolish rambling. You hypothetical clowns stopped truckers from conducting their business and moving freely with their goods and gloated. At the end of the day the strike ended in week as predicted. The fact is the market woukd have adjusted.

Your grasp of Economics is abysmally poor!

Middle belt was not part of your foolishness. Do you think it's only northern tomatoes you have in the market? Go and make a proper due diligence on the matter before coming here to expose the cow dung you have for brain!

They are set of people who lack understanding, not all though my best from of more than 10 years is an Hausa.
Very nice dude but I still told him the north can NOT threaten the South with anything.

Southerners are wise and innovative

You should've bet loser buys dinner if he disagreed. This isnt the first time clowns made empty threats in this country. Do you remember the igbo quit notice? The same pussies who can get rid of all manner of criminals kidnapping, raping and extorting them say they can drive out people on whim. Nigerian culture rewards these foolish displays.
