Another keyboard warrior sported..

Can u bear this

Can you bear the numbers of Yoruba properties destroyed in Shasha

Houses burnt, Lives lost and cars burnt.

thebosstrevor1:
How

You must really think highly of yourself

Who started the blockade and Still started crying.

No, it's you and your north brothers that think highly of yourselves.

Continue the food blockade now

thebosstrevor1:
Tell your people that

Those are strong words to reshape your one track mind.

thebosstrevor1:
I guess you have never sold anything before except depending on mummy and daddy for food.

if you even click on this moniker you will see Where i was supplying imported tiles to an estate in Lagos.

A typical Southern Hustler don't reason like a cow as most of you reason up north.

One must be ready to adapt to changes, it is what separates animals from Humans.

BabaOwen:
I don get cammed tomatoes for house sef

I know of people wey don dey plan to import from Benin Republic sef

In this time and age, people dey think say dem fit block food supply to a rich region

Abeg let them continue jare

BabaOwen:
You better stop wasting your time with that dull thing.

Nah Benin Republic people go gain pass.

If Nigeria can export tomatoes and onions to other West African countries, then they should also be able to export their own tomatoes and onions into Nigeria too.

I really under estimated the sillyness of an average Northerner until today.

Benin republic have always been trying to sell their tomatoes to South west have now been blessed with this opportunity.

I hope they keep it locked for another 6 months.

thebosstrevor1:
So you think it magic they use to begin new business.

You are silly.

You think someone who has an expertise in selling tomatoes will just wake up oneday, and start selling bag of rice without understanding the market and cost of buying one bag

Please always use your brain

Retail is the last chain of supply in production that requires the least skill set.


As long as they have their capital intact, they will look at other products that they can sell and start selling those.

thebosstrevor1:
With which money?

Were they given the tomatoes for free to begin with

Abi what sort of silly question is this?

Don't they have business capital?

thebosstrevor1:
God bless these people.

I like what i am seeing, when your mothers and fathers selling tomatoes, pepper, yam, meat etc can not provide for you or pay your school fees again, then you will know who is your food supplier.

As for online keyboard warriors...continue your job...when you buy 2 old layers for 5400 every week, then you will realise that cow meat is the cheapest form of protein in Nigeria.

Continue your jumpy jumpy online...shebi no be you dey feed yourself na mama and papa dey hustle for you.

So you don't think those mothers and fathers can start selling other things

Is this how poorly educated you Northerners are

God bless those imposing the blockade


They should send it to Niger who is hoping to sell something similar to Nigeria too


I hope they do this for another month or two.

nathaniel27:
sure bro are u igede??

No, bro
I am Yoruba but I know a lot Igede farming in that area.

wink2015:
Northerners think they are clever.

They even need the southern market to sell their perishable than we need the north.

We can afford to ship food from neighbouring west african countries.

We can ship food from the middle belt.

There places in the south that has abundant of food stuff because they farm there despite the fulani killings.

Exactly my brother

The Northerners will learn the hard way.

We have always been United.

They need to understand economics next time before going into business

You can only create new market for your products if you sell innovative ideas.

You can't sell your products well in other countries that already has a similar product.

All these produce tomatoes
Cow meat can be diverted easily Poultry people will mark huge money

I know Famous rice in Kwara state and 2 other rice companies in Ogun state.

I haven't mentioned some companies in Oyo.
The North no get sense, I pray it should last for 6 months

Didnt they read the news where Ogun state started dry season rice farming or so?

Let them continue

Every pro Nigerian Yoruba in Lagos Will obviously feel the pinch more then those Yorubas in rural areas that have been complaining for so long.

GamalNasser:
2 to 3 billion naira annually? Oga it's over 500 million dollars ..the cattle trade in Nigeria is about 1.5 billion dollars annually ( how do you think the Fulanis maintain their army)and lagos is responsible for a sizable chunk of that market

$1.5 bn wow

And the Fulanis are trying to end the monopoly they enjoy!

Aren't this people stupid like this?

You are 100% right my brother

No region consumes cow meat in Nigeria more than the South west because of huge market in Lagos.

Lagos contributes nothing less than 2 to 3 bn naira to the cattle Industry annually, but with increase in prices of cow due to the blockade. The 3bn will be shared between the Poultry and fishry industry.

Tomatoe farmers in the South west will become instant millionaires as a basket of tomotoes sold at 5k in Oke Ogun areas of Oyostate will almost triple in days.

Farmers in South West are about to cash out due to the Northerners misunderstanding of basic economics.

Yam grows Very well in Ido local government/ Ibarapa in Oyo state too.

Many Igede from Benue are busy cultivating there.

BastardWike:
I would agree with you had it been there is peace and stability in the SW. However, considering that people in the SW currently can't farm because of the menace of same fulani herdsmen, so how are you going to rebuild your dying agriculture?

I don't think that people left farming in the SW willingly, no, on the contrary they were forced out due to insecurity and it is worsening instead of abating!

It seems people are not even understanding the enormity of the challenges facing the Yoruba nation

Most of the agricultural bedrock of Southwest now enjoy Peace

Oyo, Osun and Ondo.

Fulanis are helping the South West actually

Should we have let our gaurds down for another fifty years, we would have been importing Palmoil from corenorth.

We thank God that Fulanis have given Yorubas the opportunity to rebuild the dying agricultural industrial landscape of the South west.

AlexBells:
Just all we need is for you to sustain the food fight for as long as possible, first your youths should go break western borders, if it gets to arms part then we all blow this country up if all will not behave themselves but Igbos especially can not join in the food game, we are the only major tribe with no border to outside country.

So if you will be just both the North and West should know it is not our fight, food fight is not ours but if both side don't come to terms once it gets to the arms level we will all blow it up right now, our food continue to come from the North and our poultry, poultry feed etc continue to come from the west, whoever wins the food game wins.

Don't look at this food game as simple blockade, honestly the East have weapons, Niger Delta have weapons, Igbos have even more but both Igbos and Niger Delta Delta don't have enough food without the North or the west and some part of Niger Delta can source from Cameroon but not Igbo we don't have borders with any outside country. So just understand why we must observe the food war.

We are not going to fight any war but beat them at their own game.

AlexBells:
That's why I said assess if you can win the food battle given 6 months, if you can't win call it a war and know who will fight with you or not, make it short, they are in charge of FG, you are a food giant but can you win the North yes but that's when you become proactive, break the western borders and you will have food then let the game continue but if FG close your borders, you are very unlikely to win, having poultry farms is not enough, once it gets high people will be prioritised before protein and your poultry maize will go to the people first

We will obviously win the food war

The core North only supplies

Beans, cow meat, Onions and tomatoes.

Not up to 65% of out diet which contains

Cassava, Yam, Semovita, Palmoil, vegetables and vegetable/plam oil.

AlexBells:
What you could not build when you are fed up is it when you are hungry you will build, lol We Igbos tried it once, it is not funny at all, yours started way too early, take charge and call the short,

Profit drives business inovation in market economy.

The last time goverment banned Frozen foods nothing less than 12 large poultry Farms started operating in Ibadan.

Now we have Zartech the largest poultry farm in Nigeria

Obasanjo farm

Ajanla farms

And even farms in Oyo town that created a new specie of chicken called Noiler (a cross between Local and Broiler).

If goverment never banned imported Frozen foods, we won't have had those farms that now employ thousands.

MISSCONGENIALITY:
How will someone selling something to you be behaving as if you don't pay for it.

Exactly!

SlayerSupreme:
Dey there na.

You think Petroleum is imported into Nigeria and then Sold immediately?

There are tank farms built over the years where some of this products are stored for months.

SlayerSupreme:
You can't stop petroleum from going North.

A simple blockade will suffice but like I said earlier, it's not necessary.

We will continue to sell to the north in larger quantity whilst there blockade helps us build back our agricultural industry.

SlayerSupreme:
You don't know what you're talking about.

No, you don't know what you are talking about.

backnbeta:
This can be achieved if Yorubas are ready to go to war with the remaining foolanis that are still killing, raping and maiming farmers. Unfortunately, our brothers and sisters in Ogun are fleeing instead of fighting. If the governor's can support the farmers, I think we can even export food! The Hausa beans we consume is preserved with poisonous chemicals and are not even export quality, even their yams. We can do even better than them in Agriculture if we have our state governments' support. Unfortunately again, sycophancy and hypocrisy will not let our governors speak for us. We are truly on our own now; we either bend or break!

BTW, The OP's hatred for the SW is tending towards a maddening obsession and it'll consume him faster than he can imagine.

Yewa in Ogun state is not the entire Yorubaland

We have Oyo, Ondo and Osun as the agricultural bedrock of Yourubaland in the past.

Those areas mentioned above is the mainstay of agriculture in Yorubaland and it's where Fulanis have been chased away recently. This is why they are unhappy.

Maybe Fulanis plan to cripple Agricultural industry in Yoruba all along and they are unhappy that they failed.

AlexBells:
Petroleum is imported by the FG and marketers, if you blockade Lagos they use Eastern ports then supply to everyone, what else would you do, port retaliation shouldn't be in your menu becuase the antidote to that lies in the East, which the east won't blink to grab

The blockade can Still happen.

There's no capacity to import petroleum products from Eastern ports otherwise they will have started long time ago.

Only Lagos port has large storage capacity for imported Petroleum products built over years.

They can't just build the multi million dollars project in three weeks in the East.

MISSCONGENIALITY:
If that be the case then Bleep cow, Bleep beef. Even though I know herdsmen have been fucking cows from time immemorial

We have fish, Turkey, Guniea fowl, Chicken, local goat and ram rearers all over South West.

AlexBells:
Does petroleum Rich North from the west, are you a PMS exporter, what you don't get is that crude is not shipped to the North but PMS, will you tell PMS marketers not to ship to the North are there not Northern marketers too,

Lagos won't suffer first, the East will send food to our people in Lagos

Yes,

Petroleum product comes from Lagos port to Northern Nigeria.

Yorubas can easily target trucks leaving for North and stop them, but that won't benefit Yorubas in anyway.

Yorubas need to encourage what is going on honestly.

During the Endsars, Lagos suffered the most.

Every southwest states outside Lagos have huge agricultural landscape in rural areas
