Is he a governor, or a mutual fund manager? “Anambra is now business and does no longer want a government that will be distracted by trouble makers.Does he not understand that governments cannot be businesses? Governments have different objectives. Businesses are motivated by profit. If you run a government like a business, then you don't understand your job. |

floriana: Yes. Obasanjo should allow the new leaders of the North like Imam Abubakar Shekau and Kabiru Sokoto to make the choice. |

Fwiw, while imported organic tomatoes might be more slightly more expensive, at least the price will be more stable than northern tomatoes. No doubling or tripling of the price just due to regional instability. And certainly, tomatoes grown on industrial farms from abroad will be a fraction of the northern nigerian price - at least, assuming import restrictions are reduced or eliminated. |

So you claim sharing the same flag and country means that everyone should have the same interests. And you call me the one who is being theoretical? Anyway, I have said what I have to say. Perhaps you and I should leave it at that. |

asha 80: you talk like southern nigeria and northern nigeria are two different countries.Well, those who are behind the increased food prices seem to think this way, yes? So perhaps that is the right mentality to adopt. It is really hard to defeat an enemy if you think you are buddies, while he is secretly plotting to kill you. So perhaps you need to adopt this mentality as well. |

What on earth are you talking about "taking agric seriously." Have you thought about the possibility that given an acre of land, it might be more profitable for a farmer to grow rice than say tomato? Is he unserious because he wants to maximize his profit? This has nothing to do with taking agric seriously or not. |

The current situation is as follows: 1) There are certain agricultural items that for whatever reason the south doesn't make 2) Nigeria bans the importation of many of these items 3) As a result, southern Nigerians have no choice but to buy them from the north So, as you can see, the current situation is highly favorable to them. And in fact props up their economy. If you removed bans on these goods that they make and you consume, they would be crushed by competition from outside of the country. Rather than giving in to their demands and pressure, instead, use this as an excuse to squeeze their balls. If they want to make the prices of tomatoes high...so be it. Then we will force them to compete against the rest of the world for our money. |

asha 80: fact still remains that we are one country until otherwise.no region is ready to break of yet.as for opening borders gor free importation that is laughable.Why is free importation of tomatoes laughable? You would rather allow someone to squeeze your balls arbitrarily rather than importing from countries/regions that aren't chaotic? My question to you is...why? Why is buying tomatoes from the Hausa man different from buying it from the black Zimbabwean (for example)? Wean yourself off of any economic dependence you have on the North. Then there is less reason to care about whether that entire land is destroyed or not. |

I have never understood how southern Nigerians would let someone squeeze their balls over...tomatoes! Of all things on earth. It would be comical to me if it weren't so sad. "Sh1t, Nigeria is a really messed up country....but let's stay together and ignore our problems. Because of tomatoes!" If someone reasoned like the above, what name would you use to describe them? 3 Likes |

There is a simple way to bring down those prices: allow free importation of them from elsewhere. Or is Northern Nigeria the only place on earth where tomatoes grow? |

Kolawole is a bit annoying sometimes, I can tell you that. He seems to be a one-Nigerianist by all means, even against logic and reason. |

kq: But I can imagine someone snap at me: “Don’t worry, we’ll use petrodollars to import food when we break up.” Yes, anyone who has money can import, but any country that survives on importation of its staple food is doomed.Currently, those items are "imported" from the north. What difference does it make if they are imported from the north or from Zimbabwe, or from Uzbekistan? Why does the latter = "doomed"? |
