Hmmmm

This guy is always speaking with his nose. I'm sure that other one was just staying it to make Buhari Feel good about himself, being the sycophant that he is. Small investigation will show it's certainly not 70. Definitely less.

Hmmm

Wicked govt @ work

Femi Adesina brain is now leaking. He needs urgent medical attention.

And when you want to fertilise the farm, terrorists and bandits will kill you right?

This man need beating.

Wait o.
We r talking about fertiliser in the midst of insecurity

what are we saying? is not a person alive that will use fertiliser?

Femi Zombie level is 10/10. It has surpassed the Deadmeat griller who off recent has been hiding his head in shame

JAMO84:
What was the price before the Poverty Development Party?

What about the minimum wage sir. Memory loss?

When you could not see any thing good about Jonathan. Just because you were desperate to get into power.

The same cup you use in measuring for other is what they using to measuring for you. So take it like a champ. We don't see your achievement. Just keep on working..but we don't see it.

richiemcgold:
but food prices keep rising everyday above the roof.
How come the so-called '7 to 70' couldn't ensure affordable food in the country?

You are the missing link in that food prices. If you join farmers in producing something, food prices will crash, if only just for you.
You can either chose to be a wailer, wailing 24/7 here or you chose to be a producer.

presidency:
Last week on this platform, focus was on the fact that adversaries of the Muhammadu Buhari administration were hiding behind the smokescreen of insecurity to vent their spleen.

We stressed that security was everything, and noted that while robustly confronting the monster of insecurity, President Buhari was equally taking giant strides on many other fronts, which the caterwauling crowd deliberately ignores.

Today, let’s dwell on something they have deliberately refused to see, hear, and chose not to talk about. But whether they see it or not, talk about it or ignore, it is there, as conspicuous as a tiger in a tea shop.

A fortnight ago, members of the Fertilizers Producers and Suppliers Association of Nigeria (FEPSAN) visited the President at State House, Abuja. And among others, this information came out from Mr Thomas Etuh, President of the body:

“Mr President, before you created the Presidential Fertilizer Initiative in 2016, Nigeria’s fertilizer production base was almost zero. We had less than 7 companies producing at 100% of their installed capacity. Nigeria’s Urea output was reported at less than 300,000 tons.

“Today, Nigeria can boast of having some 70 NPK blending plants. 95% of this investment is from the private sector. This is a clear sign of the confidence investors have in Mr President’s policies and programs.”

From 7 to 70 blending plants just under Buhari! But why are they not talking about it? Because it doesn’t fit into the narrative they want Nigerians to buy and imbibe. The country is broken under Buhari. It is divided. He has made a poor job of leading the country. That is what the poor salesmen sell.

I hear! When you hate a baby, you claim that the midwife that begat him is a witch. What has that got to do with the innocent tot? Their snouts have been yanked from the honeypot, so they are throwing tantrums. Politicians, so-called civil rights activists, priests, talk show hosts, and many others. All they want is to have the illicit bread back. So they must create the impression that Buhari did nothing.

From 7 to 70. Why are they not talking about it? No, it doesn’t serve their interests, so they would pretend it didn’t happen.

The FEPSAN boss had many other things to say:

“In the past 2 months alone, you officially commissioned the Barbados NPK blending plant in Kaduna and the Dangote Urea plant in Lagos. ..Such an honour in a very short period clearly shows the love you have for us and your desire for FEPSAN to succeed. For many of us, we still cannot believe that a President would honour the invitation of not one, but two of our members within a short period of time. It is such open support that encourages our members to continue investing.”

But they said Nigeria was broken, and that the only thing happening was insecurity. How then did the 63 new blending plants spring up? If the investors didn’t believe in the country, would they invest such humongous resources? Would you put several millions of naira in a polity that could go up in smoke at the next minute? No, you wouldn’t. So, the fact that investors continue to put their funds here belie their narrative that Nigeria was broken, and nothing was working. They lie through their teeth just because of the lust for power, and filthy lucre. They pine and hanker after those days that you did nothing, and government just brought bags of money to you at home. Buhari wouldn’t do that, so they must badmouth him, paint him black, and run him out of town, if possible.

From 7 to 70 fertilizer blending plants in 7 years. Why are they not talking about it? No, they wouldn’t, because they want a return of those days when the country earns billions of dollars from oil, and it is used to oil their pockets. The rich get richer, and the poor gets prison. The new order pains them like mad.

Hear how Etuh described what used to happen in the country: “The low base reflects the adverse impact of historical Government policies that promoted the dumping of all sorts of imported fertilizer blends in Nigeria. Our farmers were forced to use imported fertilizers which in most cases are not compatible with the nutritional needs of our land.

“All this is now past. By the special grace of God...Nigerian farmers will never go back to those dark days.”

A resounding amen, somebody! Whether they acknowledge the good things going on or not, this country won’t return to the rent seeking era, where you sit idly, and because you are a priest, critic, social activist, media personality, politician, or what, they just bring loads of cash to your house to curry favor. Buhari hasn’t done it, he won’t do it, and we shouldn’t do it as a country.

From 7 blending plants to 70 under Buhari. Why are they not talking about it? It doesn’t favor their selfish intentions. It is said that in over 12 years, Nigeria has seen its highest consumption of fertilizers at 1.8 million tons per annum in 2021. But does it interest them? Never! They don’t care, and can’t be bothered.

“Today, many nations who rely on fertilizer imports are facing acute shortages as a result of the events in Eastern Europe. However, Nigeria remains one of the few countries in Africa and indeed the world, where fertilizer availability is not an issue,” Thomas Etuh said.

Truly, President Buhari is a man who saw tomorrow. He focused on agriculture, funded it massively, encouraged people to go back to the land, and we have a lot to be thankful for today.

In the wake of COVID-19 and the attendant global lockdown and food supply challenges, how would 200 million people have survived, if we were not producing what we eat locally, as encouraged by the President? But they won’t talk about it, because it doesn’t fit into their narrative. They only allege that the country is broken, divided, not recognizing that they were the very people breaking and dividing it with their mouths.

Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele, disclosed at the FEPSAN meeting with the President that cumulatively, a total of N114.09 billion has been disbursed to support the fertilizer industry in the last five years. The interventions are long-term loans at concessionary interest rates. That’s what you call putting your money where your mouth is. In the past, such funds would have ended in the pockets of government officials, and in those of some priests, critics, and other jobbers. From 7 to 70 blending plants under Buhari. That’s why they are not talking about it.

Hear this information that came as I was concluding this piece. According to acting Comptroller of the Federal Fire Service, Dr Karebo Samson, in 2015, when Buhari came to office, there were only 3 functioning fire trucks in the country, two in Lagos, one in Abuja. But today, there are 189 brand new fire trucks in the Service, apart from new ambulances, water tankers, etc. Why are they not talking about it? It doesn’t serve their interest in portraying Nigeria as broken and divided.

They live their lives perpetually on the complaint counter. But with the realization of the progress being made by patriotic Nigerians, they will be soused and marooned in that inglorious place for a long time to come. The people are not ready to return to the dark past, whether those tiny but vocal minority talk about the good things happening or not. Forward we move.

*Adesina is Special Adviser to President Buhari on Media and Publicity

the only yardstick to justify this your claim is to look at the available food supply in the market.... Has is reduced hunger, are agricultural produce cheap and affordable, can they be seen or just audio produce as usual. How much are buying a paint of garri now compare to then, how much is a bag of rice now compare to then, how secured are our farm land now for farmer to cultivate on unlike then, presently are people willing and able to farm in the north currently farming under this Boko Haram and bandit attack. How justifiable is your claim when we have 70 fertilizer factory with no farmers to purchase and apply the chemical on their farm. Or are we now eating raw fertilizer. You can't sit in Abuja and be laying claims that doesn't reflect on the lifestyle of the common man. You claimed to have purchased hundreds of fire truck that still spend hundred of hours to attend to fire emergency out break. Fire will start at 12 noon and you will be their at 5pm after fire must have destroyed billions of naira worth of good and property

JAMO84:
What was the price before the Poverty Development Party?

You're right but how convenient was it then to now..
How much a tin of peak milk then how much is it now?
How much is a kilo of Titus fish and how much is it now?
How much is a live chicken then and how much is it now?
I don't belong to any party but let's be reasonable. Majority of the blind followers then are regretting as of today

But the price is increasing instead of reducing..so no thanks
Plus our farms aren't safe anymore...with the Fulani herdsmen and banditry activities..even if u manage get fertilizer wi all those factors allowed u to farm??
Hell nah

The pathetic state of stupidity is those who are stupid don't know that they are stupid.

Like a farmer whose home was on fire and instead of saving his family, he chose to carry out the bags of fertilizer in the store and lost his family of wife and children in the flames of the fire.

mrvitalis:
Sure but how has that affected the price of fertilizers ?

What was the price in 2016 what are the price now ...you should not just do policy for doing sake

No mind those trumpeters, they think we are daft!

Femi is trying hard to play his role as a publicity man to buhari by trying to portray his image in a good way even though he knew the image is irredeemable. We have endured till this day so what is left? We can still endure till the end but it will be foolish of the Nigerian youths to bring in someone of same character and incompetent as buhari to spearhead the affairs of this nation in 2023.
Femi enjoy your day as the media man but just know that your tenure will come to an end one day then u will leave and face Nigerians for all the lies and deceit.

Ye oko (stone)

ironically fertilizer is also great for makeshift bombs
not sure femi adesina thought this through before he hit send

Fertilizers that'll get into the hands of terrorist for IED making; just imagine the terrorists getting their hands on a sizeable tranche of NPK

Judolisco:
Kukah called you for a debate pls answer him if you are not a coward
only f*ols take dis guy and garba shehu seriously

Garbage Sheu you meant?

To know the answer of 'why they are not talking about it', is to recall my posts of late 2014 and 2015.
To know the answer of 'why they are not talking about it', is to return to the school of governance and to learn the rudiments of first, what a people want out of a democratic journey, what the role of a government is in this experiment and to realize when those expectations are not being delivered.

For starters, when your government adds millions of Nigerians to the official United Nations roll call of 'extremely poor' year on year perhaps those who you want to sing your praises are busy rummaging through trash cans to survive.

When you don't feed your pet dog, why do you think it will have the time to watch over your homestead.
While the late Bush senior was busy flaunting America's might round the world thinking American's would feast on hot air in the midst of his war induced recession, Clinton leveraged on James Carville's election quip, '... its the economy stupid...'

Yes, like the US in 1992, the economy is in such a poor state, nothing this government flaunts will ever get recognition. Mr. Buhari's legacy is set in stone unfortunately, as an unsuccessful second stint Head of State.

His words are not censored by his conscience because he had his conscience removed, boiled it, ate it and pass it out as waste product, so he can't recover it again

Congratulations, I guess the fertilizers are meant for human consumption and if not where else are they gonna use it when Fulani terrorists are killing farmers all over the place?

Mooh247:




The first major mistake the Military Government made is by Isolating the President in a fortress far away near Aso Rock and Jungle, to make matters worse roads and airspace are closed when he passes without any form of interaction with ordinary people

The President is so lost and far away from reality that people like Femi Adesina capitalise on this to tell Buhari nonsense and lies,

What's the use of fertiliser when bandits , Boko haram, iswap and Fulani herdsmen won't let you visit your farm




.

These are valid points but besides that Buhari is just a natural failure

You appointment will soon elapsed, by that time you will know what ordinary citizens passed through everyday to make a living quote author=presidency post=112176781]Last week on this platform, focus was on the fact that adversaries of the Muhammadu Buhari administration were hiding behind the smokescreen of insecurity to vent their spleen.
