brotherly as it stands so I am so heartbroken.
I went to the market and came back shattered.
Garri now is 5 cups for 1,000 naira

Nigerians are just so fixated on Garri, whats the nutritional value of drinking garri

i rather take oat meal, a sachet is as low as #200 comes with more nutritional value and e dey hold belle .. just bless it with milk,

Jokerman:
- Did petrol price reduce?

- Did security in farmland reduce?

- Did tax and tariff collectors reduce thier price from the market people and farmers?

- Did electricity price reduce?

- Are workers not going to request for increase in Salary?

You’re the only person that highlighted the core issues bedeviling the cost differentials.

All hope is not yet lost as we still have right thinking people here.

In summary; while prices of foreign food items are dropping, local food prices are rising. Nigerians are Nigeria problems. Who do us?

Wetin bring papa into this? As your papa no get sense to birth a sensible human being, I no fit blame you too much, my brother.

The difference between you and me is your affinity for self-deceit and fo, oli, shness. You have unaccountable thieves at the helm of affairs, yet you suddenly expect a common retailer to be upright. You will wait in vain.

I used to be like you a while back. But I know better now. Like the National Assembly, everyone is just trying to inflate and pad their budgets.

Next thing na to escalate fayawo (smuggling) business Since the government has decided to carry Bobrisky's matter on their head, rather than go after smugglers with hard evidence from Fisayo, I expect more smugglers in the coming days/weeks.

Like a funnel, this corruption will trickle down, from the richest to the poorest.

Gbam. Very foolish middle men causing hardship. FG out of pity banned importation for Nigerian farmers to enjoy, but their greed for money lead to increase in price above imported foods despite not paying import duties.

Nigeria middle men should be examine.

Just one month of border reopening...

Their ego will calm.

Useless traders.

wittywriter:





Nigeria's food hike solution will come when Nigerians decide to take agriculture as a norm.
Normal normal I make sure I plant yearly even if it's third party planting and harvesting process.
If you have funds that you can invest in agriculture for personal consumption then make sure to...thank me later.





Read to comprehend...there's no award for hasty mentions...

Ability to comprehend is a rare trait..you have it though...stay blessed.

Start an Agric community... If you need help to facilitate your Agric goal(s) then drop your contact I'll link you for further actions.

You'll lias with farmers....if you need such process drop your digits in any of your own thread here on NL then quote my moniker I'll
link you up.


Wittyness

How do you mention multiple ppl in one mention

Nigeria middle men should be examine.

Why are they foolish
Why don't you do the work and make less profit

Talk is cheap

BscHolder:
then what is FG doing to curb the excesses of middlemen, they'll blame high cost of transportation

What do you want them to do
Do you think govt is not worse than middlemen
Why not become a middleman and reduce your profits since it's easy to Talk

victorclean:


The Agric minister is still asleep. Not yet a problem to the rich people. NIGERIA will definitely act when it affect the rich, they will act, just as they are fighting dollars

When will your poorppl problem affect the rich

id4sho:
FG should import food and send these fools to village , nonsense ingredients

With which dollars
You've used it all to defendnaira for few weeks

MuslimIgbo:
Nothing but greed.

Imagine beans more expensive than rice. See price of common garri now..


Nigerians are GREEDY

You nko
You're not a Nigerian
Have you Reduced your charges? Why should the farmers

Dialpad:
Are we our own enemies? Or why would it be more expensive

Cost of production
Bad farming
Bad roads
Bad bandits

Day169:
A nation at crossroads..
We are our own worst enemies.

No one is your enemy
How many fARm you get

Kaybaba5:
Are we now doing ourselves?

You dinknow?

Honestey:
Yes, it's wickedness of our people not 100% Tinubu policy that is making things hard for Nigerians

It's demand and supply not wickedness

Flame333:
I just wish tinubu can look downward and see how he can use the same strategy he used against the Bureau de Change men on all this producers...

Wait for other foot to drop

Such an act of pure wickedness...

Nope
You're just lazy

it's just a matter of time they will all get tired

no one gets tired of money

Akwamkpuruamu:


Not everyone will be a farmer. in the USA, less than 10% are farmers and they feed their nation while here is the reverse, yet food scarcity

Are Nigerian farmers same with American farmers
Talk with sense na

Crafteck1:


Agriculture will be a Norm if security becomes a norm

Who will suffer pass, hunger or security
Continue waiting for security you hear

Emeskhalifa:



Are you a farmer? How many hectares u dey farm? Una dey talk asif there is adequate security for farmers.
Do you all read news of how farmers are being attacked in their farms and k**led?

Fix the issue of security and a lot of people will dive into farming right now

When there was security how many of you went into farming

pretydiva:
Apparently, the rise in dollar had no effect in the price of local food commodities.

If the problem of insecurity, and Fulani herdsmen killing farmers and destroying their farm produce can be brought to its barest minimum. Just maybe things might eventually go back to normal

Aside these factors stated above, sometimes na we dey do ourselves for this country. We are our own enemy

When there was no insecurity were foodprices not rising?

R

Has petrol price increased in the last couple of weeks?

This is astounding. Naira gains a whopping one-third of its value in the last one month. I go to market happy that things would have come down. INSTEAD, THEY DON'T REMAIN SAME -- THEY'RE INCREASING!

One seller's excuse to me was she said "God" wanted to show Nigerians that they should change from their sins!

No human being can ever make sense of this evil failed state

When indians are left with rice industry, that's what you get.
They're very wicked and bad people who care only about gains at all cost.
