Naija photos posted are from all around Nigeria.(Lagos, Abuja, Unugu, Uyo, Calabar, Port Harcourt, Ibaden, Benin, and even Kano becuase you know Nigeria is not a 1 to 2 district/city state it's a sprawling massive country. Heres some Lagos though...

vaxx:
what is your biggy about the whole deal. is it the international public disgrace that comes from a renowned world university professor to use Nigeria as a case study of a failed state in his assignment to his student or that the report to the research assignment is not accessible to you . be clear.

Come on bro they've dragged you threw the mud with you desperately kicking and screaming at this point. Just hold your "L" and let it go. Save some shred of dignity.

EVarn:
UNITA's military capacity was actually crushed.

Is that an Islamic terrorist group with connections around the world or just some frustrated ragtags?

Stevoh18:

TayserMahri:
Nigerians are truly dirty people. Hate to imagine smelling c*nts in those yellow precambrian buses

Smells a lot better than this that's for sure....

keep2silent:
Those evil BHT, ISWAP have many trained local civilian recce spies and few disloyal army fifth columnists working overtime 24/7 finding reporting our troops​ movements, men, equipment to BHT camp commanders. Nairaland is not their key source. Don't blame yourself for problem you don't cause. Troop patrol positions change rapidly, static FOB, check points are visible to everybody, BHT are not 3 blind mice.

Hiding our gunboats when navies with frigates, cruisers, display them openly as national deterent strategy to warn potential enemy? Our NA Amphi boats, NN gunboats on road to Lake Chad have nuclear ICBM launchers​ on board to hide?

Nigerian army has no weapon that scares any country having modest capable army. Sadly BHT does not fear us anymore. NA lost deterent type ORBAT arsenal we had in 1988, those weapons now obsolete, no country fears them today.

I am very happy to see new strategy like our Super Camp, but without Super Weapons I really pray it works. How do we win big war with small procurement small money? Is our head small too? We must think big like Angola. Super Camp is very good but not a genius idea, a Sandhurst trained infantry major can figure it out. My prayer is for millions of dollars to be spent on our own NA to equip us like Army of Angola that crushed UNITA insurgency. God bless our Nigerian Army and forgive their sins, amen.

Dude stfu with your delusions and go whine somewhere else.....

World Bank drops 'bombshell' about Nigeria's future, predicts economic doom - Daily Post Nigeria
Published on September 6, 2019 By Chijioke Jannah


The World Bank has dropped a bombshell that Nigeria was dying slowly and tragically living on borrowed time due to its neglect of the agricultural sector and heavy reliance on crude oil.

World Bank’s Senior Agriculture Economist, Dr Adetunji Oredipe, on Thursday warned of the looming danger ahead of Nigeria while delivering a keynote address at the Agriculture Summit Africa in Abuja.

According to him, economic diversification into agricultural should be in practice not theory as the economy has become increasingly dependent on importation.

He said if Nigeria had held to its market share in palm oil, cocoa, groundnut and cotton, it would have been earning at least $10billion annually from the three commodities.

Painting the gloomy picture of the country’s agricultural sector, the World Bank Agricultural Economist regretted Nigeria is now one of the largest food importers in the world.

He said: “In 2016 alone, Nigeria spent $965million on the importation of wheat, $39.7million to import rice and $100.2million on sugar importation.”

He added that the decision to spend $655million on fish importation seems financially irresponsible given all the marine resources, rivers, lakes, and creeks in Nigeria.

He noted: “None of the above transactions (Importation of rice, fish, sugar) is fiscally, economically, or politically sustainable. Nigeria is tragically is living on borrowed times, a typical case of robbing Paul to pay Peter.

“For instance, each time we spend money to import rice, Nigerian local rice farmers are negatively affected in terms of morale, sales, and realisable income.”

He lamented that despite its huge agricultural potential, Nigeria which used to be a major player in agriculture in the world has lost its place in the global food production club.

He said, “In the 1960s we had glory. That glory was visible and significant for the global community to recognise and applaud. Nigeria accounted for 42 percent of the world’s exports of shelled groundnuts. Our total export volume was 502, 000 MT.

“This declined to 356 MT by 2016. Nigeria lost its leadership position and was overtaken by USA, China, and Argentina. Nigeria was also the largest exporter of palm oil in the world and accounted for 27 percent of the global export volume for palm oil.

“Total export volume for palm oil by Nigeria was 167,000 MT in 1961. This declined to 8,000 MT by 2016 as the global export volume rose from 629,000 MT in 1961 to over 42.1 million MT in 2016.

“Malaysia and Indonesia took over using the oil palm seedlings obtained from Nigeria. In 2018, Malaysia earned $8.7billion, 28.6 percent of total palm oil exports from export of palm oil alone.

“Indonesia alone recorded US$16.5billion, 54.5 percent of total palm oil exports. Unfortunately, Nige- ria is not listed among the first 15 as at this moment.”

He said the huge taste of Nigerians for imported food items had also contributed to high levels of unemployment for the youths.

“Food producing factories in Western world, Far East Asia and other countries employ millions of young people to produce and export food. This is a source of livelihood and it helps the workers to live well and go to school.

“But on our side of the world, Nigerian youths have no one to hire them to build their capacity. This is a typical case of disguised employment or unemployment. It is unacceptable for our graduates to have no one who needs their university /polytechnic acquired knowledge and skills.”

The event was attended by the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo who was represented by the Minister of State for Agriculture and Rural Development, Musta- pha Shehuri. Other dignitaries in attendance included the Minister of Women Affairs Mrs Paulen Tallen; Governor of Kebbi State Atiku Bagudu; Chairman of Sterling Bank Plc, Asue Ig- hodalo; and the Managing Director of Sterling Bank Plc, Abubakar Suleiman.

Yawn! PECKING ORDER!

I see the past few days you have resorted to the same pathetic strategy as your peers, repeating literly the same photos over and over again trying to make it seem like there new. Giving that pro-murder account you made a few days ago a rest?

Legend has it that the Yorubas are the grandfathers of all this gangsta ish in SA. Then Igbos, not the type to be outdone, decided to take on their Yoruba brothers The rest is history.

98% of all crimes in South Africa is perpetrated by native south Africans including the drug related crimes. South Africa is the world capital of rape. It has a murder rate equal to that of a warzone. Its Citizens happily loot and kill on a daily basis to meet ENDS meet. Stop blaming your failures on foreigners. You failed to develop a civilization in the past and now your destroying the one British/dutch built for you. With all the welfare after 1994 you still don't control any of it either.....

I can't take anything from the mouths of historyless savage raiders seriously sorry. No one is buying the drugs nonsense anymore only embarrased delusional South Africans and you idiots on here.

please everybody read this you can see Nigeria does not have a economy the largest food importer in the world



Ifeanyi Onuba, Abuja



The Senior Agriculture Economist, World Bank, Dr Adetunji Oredipe, on Thursday said the neglect of the agricultural sector when Nigeria’s economy became increasingly dependent on oil has proved to be a “disaster”.

He said if Nigeria had held to its market share in palm oil, cocoa, groundnut and cotton, the country would be earning at least $10bn annually from these commodities.

Oredipe said this while delivering a keynote address at the agriculture summit Africa in Abuja, sponsored by Sterling Bank Plc.

The event was attended by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo who was represented by the Minister of State for Agriculture and Rural Development, Mustapha Shehuri; Minister of Women Affairs, Mrs Paulen Talen; Governor of Kebbi State, Atiku Bagudu; Chairman of Sterling Bank Plc, Asue Ighodalo; and the Managing Director of Sterling Bank Plc, Abubakar Suleiman.

Painting a picture of the country’s agricultural sector, the World Bank agric economist said Nigeria was now one of the largest food importers in the world.

He said in 2016 alone, Nigeria spent $965m on the importation of wheat, $39.7m to import rice and $100.2m on sugar importation.

Oredipe said the decision to spend $655m on fish importation seemed financially irresponsible given all the marine resources, rivers, lakes, and creeks in Nigeria.

He said, “None of the above transactions (importation of rice, fish, sugar) is fiscally, economically or politically sustainable.

“Nigeria is tragically living on borrowed time, a typical case of robbing Peter to pay.

“For instance, each time we spend money to import rice, Nigerian local rice farmers are negatively affected in terms of morale, sales, and realisable income.”

He lamented that despite the huge agricultural potential, Nigeria which used to be the major player in agriculture in the world has lost its place in the global community.

He said, “In the 1960s, we had glory. That glory was visible and significant for the global community to recognise and applaud.

“Nigeria accounted for 42 per cent of the world’s exports of shelled groundnuts. Our total export volume was 502, 000 MT.

“This declined to 356 MT by 2016. Nigeria lost her leadership position and was overtaken by the USA, China, and Argentina.

“Nigeria was also the largest exporter of palm oil in the world and accounted for 27 per cent of the global export volume for palm oil.

“Indonesia alone recorded US$16.5bn, 54.5 per cent of total palm oil exports. Unfortunately, Nigeria is not listed among the first 15 as at this moment.”

He said the huge taste of Nigerians for imported food items had also contributed to high levels of unemployment for the youths.

Oredipe said, “Food producing factories in Western world, Far East Asia and other countries employ millions of young people to produce and export food. “This is a source of livelihood and it helps the workers to live well and go to school.

To reverse this trend, he said the government must articulate a clear vision to achieve a hunger-free Nigeria, through an agricultural sector that drives income growth.

In doing this, he said the vision of the government should be to revive the rural economy by transforming Nigeria into an agriculturally industrialised economy, create wealth, jobs, and markets for farmers.

He added, “We also need to realise that it is extremely difficult to produce, process and market at the same time. It is better to specialise and pick a certain aspect to focus on.”

He also said government should rigorously and transparently evaluate all major policies and initiatives aimed at boosting agricultural development.

The economist said a closer focus on agricultural finance schemes could boost its potential to foster an enabling environment to crowd-in private investment.

“The most fundamental cause of low investment in agriculture is the low expected profitability, which stems from low productivity. Additional factors contributing to this situation include an unfavourable business climate; infrastructural deficiencies; limited access and use of long-term business credit; and the high risk of investment,” he added.

He also said there was need to address the issue of high post-harvest losses, especially for perishables such as horticulture produce.

Oredipe said Nigeria produces 1.8 million MT of tomatoes per year, accounting for 68 per cent of the total production of West Africa.

However, he added, over 45 per cent of this is lost annually due to postharvest losses.

Despite this, he said, Nigeria continued to spend over N16bn annually on tomato paste importation making the country the largest importer of tomato paste from China and Italy.

He said, “We need to find better ways to link farmers with off-takers and processers. Our off-takers imports food items being produced by our farmers because they are not aware of the products in the local market.”

The VP in his speech at the event said the Federal Government recognised the importance of the agriculture sector to food security, job creation and poverty reduction.

He said the sector was one of the priority areas of the government, adding that this was why various intervention programmes were being implemented under the Agricultural Promotion Policy.

He said, “It is heart-warming that agriculture is fast becoming the buzz across trade and investment circles particularly in the face of perennially dwindling oil prices and devaluation and the attendant desire of government to diversify the economy.

“The need to get everybody into agriculture has been one of the cardinals of the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan of the Federal Government with emphasis on developing an export-led economy.

“Our agenda is to guarantee the vibrancy of the sector; agriculture must be seen as a business and haven for investment.”

Osinbajo said the government was integrating food production, storage, food processing and industrial manufacturing to establish linkages necessary in the agricultural commodity value chain.

Another attack happened today at Gajiram on Monguno-Maiduguri road at 6pm.

I heard they raided the police outpost. Anytime i pass through there and see a community soldiers ran away from and is being occupied by police, i just feel pity for the police guys.

Today Bokoharam has cleared some of the mobile police.

Why should the Government allow a police station in a town Soldiers abandoned. The police can't face Bokoharam with AK-47s na

This war is just funny aswear

Proof?

samorobo:
