We don't always have comparative advantage in the production of some food items. It's not just land alone. Ability to deal with natural disaster also counts. Some months ago someone complained about flood destroying acres of rice farmland. Herdsmen destroying plantain farmlands, e.t.c

If other countries take security serious and do not let terrotits hinder their farmers from farming then they have better advantage over us.

Not true, you only need to see what arid countries like Egypt and Israel are doing with agriculture to see how far we are lagging behind in probably the most important factor in the development of our country.
Herdsmen and erosion problems are issues we can deal with easily unlike unfavorable climate on which we have little control. Can we say there are no security issues in Egypt and Israel are they dealing with it?
Same way we have to deal with security or technological or ecological issues we may have in order to do whatever we need to do in order to feed ourselves.
To do this we need money, one of the reasons why subsidizing petrol consumption to trillions of naira is a very dumb strategy.

Zionmdde:
Ogbeni just sharrap there
Small cars on roads filled with potholes, small cars will carry you on interstate journeys on roads with deadly potholes

Agriculture with herdsmen everywhere
Sharrap there and gettat!!!!

So, you need big cars you cannot afford to mitigate against bad roads? Many of you need psychological evaluation. You are not even fit to criticize the government.
Agriculture with herdsmen? Then wait for Tinubu to feed you and your family. Better still, wait for manna to drop from heaven.

Tntsi:
Young man you have no job. You are either into one dubious thing or the other or jyst hanfing sround government criminals.I am 100% sure.

You are completely wrong my friend. Hard work is the way. Wait for Tinubu to spoon feed you and you will die of hunger.

paramakina202:
It seems you get better manifesto than Tinubu.As Tinubu's supporter why not help him out with your wonderful ideas on how to feed Nigerians?

He already laid it out but you wouldn't know because you were busy shouting elupee while being totally delirious and irrational.

Tntsi:
Only a poverty empty stricken boy or a kid feeding from his parents or someone feeding from ciminal embezelled funds will say this.
You can't work for wealth and say this.

I work hard my friend and you should too and not wait for Tinubu to spoon feed you. If you do that you will die of hunger.

paramakina202:
People complaining of hunger should do what since you have found solution for people using big cars?

You should all cover your faces in shame. Pull out your world Atlaas and see how much God has blessed Nigeria over many other countries.
There's nothing we eat in Nigeria that we cannot produce ten fold.
A small fraction of the money wasted on fuelling your SUVs if diverted to agriculture will produce enough food for all Nigerians in the short run.
This is what Tinubu is trying to do and you are all crying because your toys are idle.

Tntsi:
Your must still be under your parents roof.
So you open your teeth anyhow.

No, I am not under my parents roof. I have driven cars you can only dream about.

Zonefree:
So, because Tinubu is now president, Nigerians should not buy SUVs again?

You can buy whatever you want as long as you can afford it. Don't buy a six cylinders vehicle and then complain about gas prices.

Zonefree:
So, the solution is to buy small cars

SUVS are mostly six cylinders and they cost more to run.

Tinubu doesn't know power is gradually shifting to the people. He thinks its still tge elites that hold power hence the elites are his primary structure while obi connected with the people. Atiku in-between.

If he has taken strict measures to benefit the masses he won't be here. Ok, if you remove fuel subsidy, don't remove education subsidy at the moment. Look for ways to make mass transport buses running on CNG available. At least deal with the issue of cheap transportation first. Open border to some food items to beat down the price a bit while go hard on terrorist so farmers can farm in peace. Then later you can close the border to food items when we have proven to be able to produce enough for ourselves. You can't just release all these policies taxing the masses at once while the political class enjoys.

If a Senator can be receiving over 600,000 for wardrobe allowance, then a student shouldn't have to pay high tuition fees for education.

What are the things we eat in Nigeria that we cannot produce by ourselves despite having fertile land and water sources in abundance?
This is how Nigerians got comfortable with importation of refined petroleum products despite being one of the largest oil exporters in the world.
Many things are wrong with the Nigerian economy we need a bold and focused leader like Tinubu to refocus and reposition the economy to work for all Nigerians.

Upcoming rerun! These people are truly delusional. There's not going to be any rerun.

The first thing you will notice in the UK is how small their cars are. You have no money but you want to drive around in a six cylinder gas guzzler. What is the definition of madness again?
Some people even have three or four of gas guzzling SUVs.....If you can't afford them don't buy them.

Validated:
With $1 at N850 and £1 at N1200, it would soon be quicker for some Nigerians to give their children up for sale to survive than consider feeding them.

Tinubu is a disaster that should NEVER had happened!

You love the dollar so much but I can bet my last kobo that your state doesn't export anything to earn the foreign currencies you are yapping about.

I still don't understand why the "hardy", "richest" and "survivalist" Ibos are crying more than anyone else in the country.

Cantonese:
Have you been sleeping in the last eight years?

So it has been written in stone that you will suffer for another eight years just because you have suffering for the past eight years?

Delusions folks who are still bitter for losing the last election.
Suddenly they are all dying of hunger because of subsidy removal.

Davinity:
You said it all, it's already and own goal and they have no credible defence other than lies... What is Mr Dayo Onanuga's job?


Why is FFK not talking, they know it's an own goal...


They heard Obi promised to remove subsidy without asking how they jumped on it, now they've scored and are still scoring own goals

They will hear from Nigerian students by next week

Presidential spokesperson is needed precisely because of folks like you who trade in lies.
Who heard Obi say he would remove subsidy and and then jumped on it?
Is subsidy removal Obi's original policy idea? Who came out with his manifesto first between Obi and Tinubu?
Liars like you are all over the media space weaving all kinds of lies just to paint this new administration in bad colors.

Cantonese:
Old wine in new skin.
The same group that worked with Buhari, have now joined BAT to ask Nigerians to be patient, while BAT repairs the damages done by them, while serving with Buhari until a few weeks ago.

Notice that the shameless leaders no longer tell Nigerians that GEJ/PDP destroyed Nigeria. Because Nigerians quickly forget and support their slave masters, they have stylishly removed themselves from their failure with the Buhari government, while hustling for positions with BAT.

I pity Nigerians who think that it will get better with APC. Anyway suffer now, enjoy tomorrow, as they say. Una don suffer eight years of Buhari, now to suffer addition with BAT.

The campaigns are over. We have a new president and a new government. You have to be Nostradamus to tell us or perhaps a garden variety sophist to tell us what tomorrow may bring.

haslaw:
People from that region are programmed to hate right from infancy and there is nothing any national leader can do to cure them.

Muhammadu Buhari built second Niger bridge for them, something no leader has ever done, yet they still hate and curse him everyday.

Abubakar Tafawa Balewa as prime minister gave them all the juicy and powerful positions in his government and the only way they paid him back was to humiliate and murder him in the worst way possible

There is absolutely nothing that President Tinubu can do to remove the hate they have for him. Tinubu would still be hated and cursed even if he built a highway to heaven for the South East

They have been busy trying to drive a false narrative using the fuel subsidy, the same subsidy Obi promised to remove on day one! Pathetic set of people.

Bobloco:
The media should stop giving this man attention

Seriously.

haslaw:

Ever since Obi lost the elections IIGB0S have been extremely BITTERED and have vowed to destroy Tinubu's goverment

That is their game plan. The same reason is why Buhari basically ignored them throughout his tenure.

dynicks:
Team "RONU'S have been buying fuel at 75naira/liter flat rate!! .....positioning the country when they aint done positioning their POCKETS!!

Obidients are crying everywhere, even those who doesn't pay taxes.
Team poor Obidients are the most affected judging by their endless wailing over the subsidy removal.
Keyamo is wasting his time. These people will wail for the next 8 years even if Nigeria turns to Japan.

False narrative! Anything to paint a gloomy picture but Nigeria is going to move forward and grow. Shame to all enemies of progress.

nairalanda1:
No, in a way, he is right...the problem with protests in Nigeria is, they get tribal fast, and people on the wrong end suffer for nothing.

(There is a reason why ENDSARS failed....the elite successfully played the tribal card).

Protests were never tribal in Nigeria until the Endsars was hijacked by IPOB.

This is what you write after one bowl of isiewu and six bottles of Hero Beer.

1 Serena Williams looks disgusting...
2 LeBron James is going to die 2 days to his 39th birthday

3 Messi's arrival is going to turn the MLS into a major league like the EPL, and Laliga..

4 Kim Kardashian in going to lose her mom by February next year...

5 Russia is going to nuke Ukraine on Christmas Eve..

All these will happen while you watch from the mental asylum?
Many of you are so fckd up in the head.

Partisan CAN.

Gondonu:
See what the called a country. Good social responsibility by the government of the country.

Human beings did all of that despite extremely cold weather for nearly half of the year. Nigerians just like to complain and expect manna to fall from heaven.
Canadians work really hard if you must know.

Did he congratulate Tinubu for winning the election?

Kevineleven:
Another tribalist spotted shit happens in different parts of the country.

For telling you it is not OK to gang up and beat a woman to death?
If I was a tribalist then you must be a sadist.

Kevineleven:
Anambarians are very brutal with thieves irrespective of gender, nobody will stand around and watch you beat up a lady.

Nothing can justify beating her to death. If you want to beat anyone to death go and find the people who are terrorizing Iboland.

Electorate:
Go and verify the current exchange rate with that of the cedis and see if fuel in Nigeria is cheaper...stop defending rubbish for your children's sake.

Why are you lying? Why is it every time you people say go and verify you end up dropping a big lie?
