So they couldn't even kill or capture one of the insect and show us maybe we can tell it name.

Its a pity tho, bandits are stopping them from farming while insects are there busy devouring them crops.

If it was in advanced clime they would have deployed the organic strategy of releasing 100's of ducks into the field to feast on the insect.

I know in the content of Nigeria, it has to be insecticide to get rid of the rampaging insect.

govt shd use helicopter to flit d farmlands n crops

stables staples such as maize, sorghum and rice. Hmmm...... locust ... strange pests.

even with all the sharia?
look to Allah not to science idiots

My LGA? Just hearing about this now. God please make this news a fake news.

God is punishing them for their crimes against the children of God, the descendants of Israel... Small time now their first sons will be dieing and frogs will become their friends, remember we were never lost.

Buhari is the one that order them yesterday.

The strange insects we all know are the herdsmen and their brother bokoharam!

The farmers should organise for an agricultural aircraft to spray the appropriate insecticide to curb it

The insect might spread to the other part of the state,even neighboring state if it's not controlled on time.

IPOB sent the insects

I am a non-muslim from one of the LGAs in question. These are areas in southern Kano where majority of indigenous non-muslim Hausas are located. This mess will affect more non-muslims than muslims, because we rely more on farming than they do. They call us 'manoma' meaning farmers to confirm this. Even if it affects only muslim farms, where is the joy in that? I choose to assume you are not a christian because we don't hate people, even those that clearly hate us. It is not Christ-like. I have two farms and may be affected. I pray God comes to our aid.

Jerryherd:
Crisis every year, if not herdsmen, it's locust and pest or low rain fall and flooding

May God save us

When the insects eat up all the crops and there is no food then the people will roast the insects and eat it

Why does this article make it sound like the locust insects are from outer space? Locusts have been on this earth and in Africa for thousands of years. They are not "strange".

Can we get a picture of these notorious farmland invaders?
