At the end of all the venting..pls lets reserve small anger for voting out this fools taking us fr granted.yes a lot of you all made mistake thinkin buhari go be am..... Noone is above mistake.. abeg next election vote the man not the party or the tribe or the religion.....

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

You snatched that out of my mouth. Those guys are irredeemable foóls.

sayso:
Guy na lie ooh. Urea NPK that Femi is talking about I bought it N18000 in Zaria last week nnt N10k.

You see, was that the price you do buy it before?

My point is. What Femi is talking about has not reduce the price of fertiliser.

So what's the advantage of his bragging of 7 to 70.

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

I wanted to over look this, but felt I should remind you that when former president Obasanjo took over in year 2000 the price of fuel was 22naira,n not N20 now it took 15years for d price to move from N22 to N87 ( 2015) . now check that of buhari in a space of 6yrs it moved from N87 to N162 and as high as 400naira, b4 going down to 162naira.even the bag of rice u mentioned, is not 28,000 naira, it's N31,000, it moved from 8,500 naira to 14000 naira then 18k , bro moving to 24,000 naira n now 31,000 naira ( pls be sincere with the prices) I remember I bought a bag of rice N8500 b4 Jonathan left n even after e left. point am trying to bring out is that APC n PDP are same, they have ruined the nation, but trying to paint APC as saint is what I don't really appreciate. I wonder why you people keep trying to cover the truth honestly . please go back to the records and confirm, if there's an error in what I have written, then I will tender an apology. am not a fan of PDP or APC, just a Nigerian.

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.

And the ones the said farmers were producing,where is the jump in production output?
Abi 7 to 70 na for TV?
The price of rice have jumped from 9K to 32K and you are HERE shouting 7 to 70..

And farmers cannot access their farms due to insecurity, cost of food has increased almost times seven. Op getat

Don't mind the dimwit

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.

7 to 70, and fertilizer never full streets

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



It is better you shut up if you can't make any reasonable contribution here. For your information, I'm a commercial farmer. Since 2016 when I started commercial farming, I and other farm owners around me here at araromi have never had access to any fertilizer. it is either unavailable or extremely expensive.

Moreso, when you were buying 50kg at N6,000 naira last year you were not seen appreciating it then.

Nigeria is not insulated from the rest of the world. With COVID and now Russia - Ukraine war (both who are major fertilizer suppliers), there is less supply and demand is high everywhere in the world.
The fact that we moved from 7 to 70 is why we are not buying the commodity at a much more higher price.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/businessday.ng/amp/big-read/article/fertiliser-prices-double-in-threat-to-nigerias-food-security/

7 to 70 rubbish...
The price of indorama moved from #9k to #18,500, golden 20:10:10 from #12.5k to #30k, and other average fertilizer brands moved from#7,500 to #18,000. How is the hike beneficial to farmers, when herdsmen and their cattles will still feast on the crops and kill you once you object. Mtcheeew

Femi Adesina is so perfect in defending mediocrity.
I hope he will have where to hurt his head in shame after this disgraceful administration.

Man must wack. Fani Fani Is doing his own hustle. Buhari must pay

Men clothing payment on delivery within lagos and nationwide delivery daily
Turkey men clothing from 4k only

Sergio103:
Nice but too latent.

First of all, you should understand what actually ruined the last administration before buhari's administration. ........"insecurity".

Now the Mr president used this flaw to campaign, knowing fully well that it is on the throat of fellow country people.
Ok.... you assume to power, instead of addressing the most important thing for which you have been elected, you began increasing it.

Please are we to masticate fertilizer down our instestine daily??

If an enabling environment is created, every other achievement in each sector will be visible to an average Nigerian, but here we are!!......the badland in El dorado.

For damn sake, there's no face to save Mr Femi, The opprobrium this administration has singlehandedly contaminated Nigeria and Nigerians with outta normal level.

Wake the educated class up when you are ready, as for now.........I am only seeing an epistle of "save my face"


Outta here!!!

In summary, produce what you eat, stop depending on imported foods........
Let those tiny but vocal minority talking people take advantage of the numerous agricultural scheme to better their lives and the society

Ok sir.
Please kindly show us how this 7 to 70 have affected productivity and prices of farm produce since 2016.
Make we dey fear God.
All these poverty we are sharing..

What is the use when the farms are no longer safe thanks to the ineptitude of this government? This Femi is brainless like his boss.

Felimax:
From 7 to 70! Mr Femi can you hear yourself?

It's either we on this divide are mad or the few lots of you so called advisers are brain dead.

No, you want us to talk about the 7 to 70 Presidential Fertilizer Plant. It's ok, score your principal over 10 let's see if he will ascend 2.

Don't be a drunk please. Since you guys took power it has been from one blame game to the other, even the most perform regime still took criticism but no, you guys want us to dance naked in the market square with empty stomach because we are all part of the Micheal Jackson musical video "Thriller"

Pardon me sir, you a zombie! QED.

7 to 70 fertilizer blending plants in Nigeria, good development at least it creates employment for our citizens. Yet citizens are blind to observe and acknowledge this fit for the fact there is hunger in the land . Despite the increase in fertilizer blending plants, cost of food items are on the increase occasioned by the high rate of inflation and exchange rate. Farmers cannot utilize the produced fertilizers due to insecurity in the land even in the field, cost of moving these items from one point to the other is high because of increase in the price of diesel. In short, Mr. Special Adviser, governance demands holistic approach to problem solving for citizens to appreciate and enjoy government policies and programmes.

No country that depends on importation of everything will progress...... before now, Nigeria was a dumping ground for frozen food including rotten chicken etc.....
Today all the poultry, fish farm etc had dominated Nigeria, the demand is even higher than supply..... job are creation by this...
The problem Nigerians have is pride/laziness and they had refused to learn a skill, everybody want a white collar job, where there's none enough job........

This coming election will be quite interesting to watch
