Ambazonia want to go away yet some Nigerians are eager to join Cameroon.

Useless posts always. Impact is best felt and doesn't need assessments and baseless debates.

What about the region that breeds and sell children for a living or the ones that donate them to other towns as beggars and hungry learners?

Some people's brain are mechanical devices sha.

Connected1:
You don't have sense or you are trying to be stupid?
Which of them?

Trying to outsmart your father and mother at same time. Which is achiever quicker?

GOVERNORR:
I know say N200 fit feed your family for a day

how you take know that one Mr flying monster?/

One pastor used to say "if what you have is not enough, turn it into a seed".

That's why I support N8k to the people than for Tinubu to repeat a Lagos with the N500B and build a 125kn road at this rate from Iragbiji to Ikirun.
Today we are repaying in hard coins with subsidy removal for loans of dormant railway that go from Daura to nowhere.

helinues:
The money is meant for the vulnerable most especially the old people.

Those able youths salivating should better go and look for work cos it won't reach them

the able bodied youth are the ones who can take N8k three times(24k) and turn it into N200k.

OperationalVehi:
you didnt mention fertilizers and pesticides in your submission so its good to conclude
you are not being honest about aiming for N100k



quit the lies

seed 2k, pesticide 1.5k, de-weeding 3.5k.
I am.not talking about an acre or hectare o. If one acre can give some farmers 30 units of 100kg bags, a quarter hectare should give a conservative 4 bags. One bag is about N30k now.

GOVERNORR:
Buy corn and coconut morning and evening for one week

Corn is N50-N70. You be elephant?

At N50 each. 2 cobs of corn 30 times is N3000 leaving N5000 change.

At N200, 40 can of malt is a good supplement for 4p days.

I can rent a small land with the first 8k, cultivate my own corn with another 8k and harvest N100k worth of corn going by current prices. Substitute rice, beans, vegetable, potato, yam, tomato, pepper, groundnut or wheat for corn and see the potential to explode from Tinubu corn meal palliative.

I can just give to those who do not have and can't help themselves to have uncorruptible treasures in heaven.

A hustling woman/lady will buy half sack of potatoes or some yam, oil, pan, firewood and start frying. By six month end when others are complaining the money was just for pure water and sugar alone, she can have N200,000.

It depends on what people do with it. Half bread is always better than none.

They focused their energy on the church that was just a group of private individuals and allowed the govt to mismanage the common wealth of the nation.
Today, we are removing.subsidies to repay loans. Loans used to build rails to not so busy routes and parts of the country and even to outside the country. Katsina saw more projects than many mega-churches combined.

During the last APC govt of Muhamadu Buhari, some church leaders became vocal against persecution of Christians and harsh economic situation among many ills in the system.
One common reply to church news or threads was the "build factories" reply to churches. I wonder where those people have dissapeared to today. They seem to have lost their voices suddenly.

A anyone who can buy AK-47 and bullets is not poor. You need about 18-30 times minimum wage to buy a good assault rifle.
Let's stop these lies and allow the honest people be productive so money can buy things.

Paid group. Subsidy was bedevilled by corruption so cannot be a failure.

From web developer to world developer.

IbeOkehie:
CORRUPTION CAN NEVER BE ERADICATED in government controlled markets. I asked before, show me a single government company or program in Nigeria that has performed better than a PRIVATE equivalent. Go ahead and tell us.


Cheers!

I posed mine to you first. Five crop we have comparative advantages in their cultivation and production.

You tried but storage of perishable doesn't work that way.

I will suggest they invest massively and wisely in transport, power and agriculture.

Transport can be adoption of EVs. Diesel powered mass transits, or low profit transport companies establish by govt over busy routes.

Power can be CNG conversion, renewable adoption for small businesses or massive renewable power plants in strategic location..

Agric can be farm input distribution.

Lol.

Nigerians took vanity game beyond ecclesiastical level. If GWR could see reason to ban Nigerians, you begin to wonder why reputable brands with name to protect like PayPal won't ban us.

Their job has little impact on govt purse. Tinubu did not father them.

ShaqFu:
These are the people who still insult the government and call them all sort of repulsive name, forgetting whatever insult they throw at the government returns to them a thousand folds.

Bunch of bloody wankers.

goat like thinking.

EmeeNaka:
That was Buhari era.
The Northern leaders only cares for their own pockets. They're busy looting the country dry for themselves alone while South West allocated most of the funds to their citizens.

The N190B that accountant general alone "invested" in Kano is more than enough to serve as palliative.

It is called petrol subsidy palliative and is suppose to be distributed according to dependence on or consumption of petrol subsidy before it was removed. The cars in Ikeja alone is like half the number in entire Kano state.

Satazaa:
true, I read it too and they are actually relaxing thier country very strict immigration laws in order to attract skilled workforce so while we are undergoing skilled workers crisis they are attracting and retaining them

The govt keep subsidizing theatre arts and law department of huge sizes at the expense of what is crucially needed locally and internationally. I wonder what kind of continent Africa is.

grandstar:
Due to my free market leanings, I don't feel too good about this.

"Food security" usually entails the country achieves "self sufficiency" in food it has no comparative advantage in like rice. This will mean the citizenry pay more for rice than it otherwise should. Since the primary cause of hunger isn't a lack of food but a lack of money, higher food prices does not help the poor.

Rather government should focus on food the nation has comparative advantage in and liberalizes imports of the others.

If the attention given to rice over the past 10 years was applied to foods the nation has comparative advantage in, I won't be surprised if earnings from food exports touch $10bn. Shea butter alone can earn the country $2bn. Cashew over $1bn and the list goes on.

some of the countries you touting as having comparative advantage in are just more aggressive with mechanised and modified farming. They use machines and adopt high yielding seedlings. That's the major difference. China forced their comparative advantage to emerge in rice production through this same method. Japan is going it with yam. China may do it also with tigernut because their major soybean oil sellers, USA has been proving difficult.

Like you guys forced subsidy removal down peoples throat without dealing with why it was failing - corruption, you guys are mouthing this comparative advantage thing ignorantly as if open borders put the money to purchase imported goods in people's pocket. Don't forget it will also mean local producers closing shop. Before Dangote started sugar refining, Sudan was a huge concern because they clearly could beat any price Dangote could eve achieve. But today, people are gainfully employed in the sugar refining value chain. If OBJ's govt had embraced importation over slightly costlier local production, those employed in local sugar refining couldnt all be employed.
Let me challenge you. Mention five crops we have a superior competitive edge in for a start.

Such figure are just to feed the Intl observers with something to justify the funds.

grandstar:
You again by trying to be rude expose your ignorance.

Where I got the so-called underlined text was from the highly respected Economist" magazine and not from some disused Suya paper.

The food basket of the nation, the North, is where you find the worst cases of chronic malnutrition.

The times Nigerians ate best was in the 1970s when petrodollars made it cheaper to import food than to grow it locally.

The wealthy Gulf Arab states which are net importers of food are well fed. Hong Kong which imports 99% of its food have well fed people.

Comparative advantage in a certain industry does not last forever. Issues such as wage increases, a leaner and meaner competitor in the market, export subsidies and so forth that change things.

anytime I catch you napping and spilling junks, you attribute it to some imaginary learned economist and even have the effrontery to called valid economic analysis disused suya paper stuff.

Your defence about rich states importing food being well fed is equally stale. That's because the poor who can't afford local food will find it hard to afford imported ones that's heavily taxed formally and informally. You also forgot those countries have a far superior per capital earning compared to ours before judging based on buying/spending power. Again you goofed.

[quote author=wwwtortoise post=124418313]I just kept nodding all through while reading this.
Wish I followed you earlier on this forum to broaden my perspective and gain fresh insights.

Thanks nwanne mmadu ![/quote]You agreed with nonsense. I am sure 20 years from now petrol subsidy will be labelled "tried and it FAILED" when it was in fact the lack of will to tackle corruption bedeviling it that made it a burden too heavy for the govt to bear.

You are easily swayed by irrelevant data and that's what the poster you referring to specializes in. Long epistles with accurate date but malicious interpretation.

AjaoEstater:
It will take Ghana and Ivory Coast a trillion years to surpass Nigeria as largest producer of yam (even if we have some crazy crisis in future) looking at wikipedia article on yam (Nigeria- 50m; Ghana- 8m; Ivory Coast- 7m). Heck we are now #1 rice producer in the whole of africa.

compare the price per tonne and update your half data.

helinues:


Those who are salivating about the N8000 palliative fund would be shocked.

Hahaha, able young body dey wait for government funds when the oldies that need it most are there

by able young body you mean those agbero that riged APC in right?

Deeprooted:
More health workers are urgently needed but I was informed that no new doctors were employed in the last few years back despite the departure of most consultants from the country.

Pray you don't fall sick!

The doctors that left aren't being replaced yet the NUC allow some govt funded schools maintain useless departments when health scientists are needed at tenfold the current rate. No planning whatsoever. I saw a video about Germany needing 40,000 skilled workers every year in the years ahead to close the gap of their dwindling workforce. They know their education system is expensive and so look towards Africa but over here we pretend as if our mini medical science department are adequate for us. SMH.
