Estimated Arable Land Lost To Insecurity In 2024 by DrMB(op): 2:55pm On Jul 31, 2025
In 2024 alone, over 2.6 million hectares of arable farmland vanished, not to drought or desertification, but to bullets, bandits, and bloodshed. From Niger to Zamfara, Borno to Benue, insecurity is uprooting the very soil that feeds the nation.
This isn't just about lost land. It’s a war on food. A war on survival. A war Nigeria is losing, hectare by hectare.

Production is not important to uncle Yekini. It is taxation and money printing. Agberoism also. Propaganda definitely. Endorsement too.

We got a politician and not a leader. Personal interests over collective welfare of the state.
