Certain crops can grow very well in the North but not in the south while some grow in the south but not in the North. If we are one country as they claim, there is no need for that action. We’re not one country, leave unity fantasy alone. Every state should think towards independent development and get ready for the breakup when the time comes. 3 Likes |

This is an Intelligent Decision by Niger state Governor.
[b]Controlling the open market to prevent bulk buyers from causing scarcity for small retail buyers involves implementing various measures and strategies:
Regulatory Policies: Implement regulations to prevent hoarding and price manipulation by bulk buyers. This may include setting limits on the quantity of goods an individual or entity can purchase within a specific timeframe.
Market Monitoring: Establish mechanisms for monitoring market activities to detect irregularities such as hoarding or price gouging. This could involve regulatory bodies, market surveillance teams, or technology-driven solutions like data analytics to track market trends and detect anomalies.
Price Controls: Consider implementing price controls or price ceilings on essential food items to prevent excessive price hikes that disproportionately affect small retail buyers. However, this approach should be carefully implemented to avoid unintended consequences such as black markets or reduced supply due to unprofitability.
Supply Chain Management: Improve supply chain management to ensure efficient distribution of goods from producers to retailers. This includes addressing logistical challenges, improving infrastructure, and promoting transparency and fairness in the supply chain.
Support for Small Retailers: Provide support and incentives for small retailers to enhance their purchasing power and competitiveness. This could include access to credit, training programs, and cooperative purchasing arrangements to leverage economies of scale.
Market Information: Facilitate access to timely and accurate market information for both bulk buyers and small retailers. This empowers market participants to make informed decisions and reduces the likelihood of sudden shortages or price spikes.
Promote Competition: Encourage competition in the market by reducing barriers to entry for new players and fostering a diverse supplier base. This can help mitigate the dominance of large bulk buyers and create a more level playing field for small retailers.
Public Awareness and Education: Raise public awareness about responsible consumption practices and the impact of hoarding on market stability. Educating consumers about their rights and responsibilities can help foster a culture of fair trade and discourage speculative behavior.
By implementing a combination of regulatory measures, market monitoring, supply chain improvements, support for small retailers, and promoting competition and consumer education, authorities can better control the open market and mitigate the adverse effects of bulk buyers on small retail buyers.[/b] 1 Like |

How can you compare oil with farm produce? Is farm produce a natural resource? No, farm product is not a natural resources, it is artificial resources, it is planted on human body and produce food from human body, Anything from the soil is natural, Plant and animal fossils made up oil and gas, So get sense, If the south stop oil exploration from their land and water, Nigeria will be gone, Just subsidy removal, people are dieing of hunger and poverty 2 Likes |

It will reduce the demand on dollar c. Different sourcing of food supply will promote a competitive market d. Excessive supply of food into the market reinforces market forces to determine price not few individuals, with excessive supply prices will crash The only thing Govt have to do here is issue a directive to Open the Border, every other thing will fall in line by peoples action 1 Like |

I'm always surprised when Christians complain about hardship. It's either they don't know how powerful their god is, or their god has lost his power, or they're not asking in the proper name of their god. A god that turned water to wine in a party should be able to turn sand to rice or garri, stones to pieces of meat in a time like this for his worshippers. Just ask

This is a temporary measure put in place to bring down the raising food scarcity in the state. It's meant to reduce the level of hunger in the state. Yes there will be scarcity of cash but availability of food for citizens to eat will be prioritised. Moreover, payment of salaries for workers, pension for pensioner's n bills for contractors will go a long way to make cash available within this period. Also trade by barter will as well help to stabilise things within this period. Like I said this iniative can only stand on a temporary ground not longterm plan. The focus now should be on how to overcome shortage of food n prices hike by the government. 1. There is no shortage of food. The bone of contention is the high price of food. What are the factors that leads to the high price of food, we should not forget that there farmers have also inccure debt, when generating capital and other expenses for cost of production and maintenance of the crop planted. So therefore the cost of production will be recoup by the products which also leads to high price of food stuff, not even talking of transportation now. Will the farmer sell below the price index And also most of these goods are perishable goods |

This is indirectly asking other states to ingage positively to it's farming to be fit to feed it's inhabitants. Well, this isn't too bad, so many lands has been vacant enough, Nigerians has refused to farm, we are on the verge were your money won't be able to buy you food items / farm produce, except the ones you harvest from your farm. I still remember how President Buhari adviced Nigerians to embrace farming, but we thought it was some kind of joke. He advised to embrace farming but when his people the Fulani herdsmen started disturbing and killing farmers on their farmlands, he did nothing. Let people feel secured working on their farms first, people will really farm, I believe. |

Government officials suvs should be confiscated, sold and the proceeds use to buy tractors for farmers. without the government addressing the issue of national insecurities, especially the killings of farmers in their farmlands, nothing will force people to farm, not even hunger will force the citizens to go to farm. why is the APC government reluctant to face the real problems confronting Nigerians, especially farmers, which is national insecurities ? it's not fair to be blaming Nigerians of laziness, because average Nigerian had never ever depends on the government for anything, but the irresponsibility of the FG in protecting the lives of Nigerians, especially farmers, had created toxic environment for every Nigerian, especially farmers. the heinous activities of Fulani -herdsmen terrorists across the nation need to be checkmated by the government urgently, at this crucial period, this government has no more choice than to do the right thing. 1 Like |

Make I hold this my one bag of rice very well, I will never complain because I'm learning the political lesson the EBI PAWAers are teaching us. Th North don't hold us be the balls, as a matter of fact locally Nigeria don't have enough food or farmers to cater for the population The pressure and demand on the North is tew much at the moment, hence why the govt have to apply a temporary solution which is to open our borders and lift ban on food item Most of these contraband dominate our market at exorbitant prices already its not as of the Ban are effective, Govt should lift the ban and we will witness price crash When the north produces more than enough for themselves to consume, they will be compelled to sell to South at reasonable prices (fear of waste) but when North starve themselves to meet South demand it will definitely come at high price 1 Like |
