Irrespective of what happens in Nigeria, the US has no legal right to say they want to launch military attack on another country uninvited

The US created the global rule-based system which Trump is currently destroying. There are diplomatic channels that countries use to communicate. No sane country comes to social media to plan war.

When US voted a convict as President, no one talked. When guns are killing them in their thousands, no country threatens to attack the US. US and any allies help is welcome but not through disrespect. Right approach has to be done.

Someone cannot be a graduate without education.

Let's break it down. Being a moralist is different from being a child of God. You can be a moralist without being guided by religion. But to be a Child of God, you have to know God's principles through religious activities. Below are some of the clear differences.

A moralist will not condemn sex before marriage as long as the sex is consensual and involves only adults, especially if the parties have agreed to marry each other. A child of God will avoid premarital sex even with his fiancée or her fiance, he or she will wait until marriage.

A moralist will do good to fellow humans while lacking the concept of praying to and praising God. A child of God does good to humans and dedicates time to praises and prayers. And this is where worshiping in a congregation is compulsory.

A moralist will support execution of criminals, a child of God will not.

A moralist will want gay people to be killed or excommunicated. A child of God will condemn the act of gay but will not harm gay people, he or she will keep hoping for gay people to repent.

A moralist will support divorce if the marriage is not peaceful. A child of God will not support divorce but will advise for living apart. Living apart is different from divorce.

A moralist will revenge if repeatedly offended, a child of God will keep forgiving.

Because we are cursed with dumb leaders, we will continue to suffer. It is suicide to support importation against local production. Same thing is happening to maize production. Fertilizer is still very expensive and so are herbicides and pesticides. Rather than addressing these challenges for long term sustainable agricultural development, government is now taking the lazy man's way for temporary gains due to elections.

Even a newborn baby knows that the disastrous level of insecurity in the country especially in the north, is the major cause of high food prices since many farming communities have been displaced. Rather than address this terrible issue head-on, government has resorted to window dressing for temporary gains and more trouble later.

I see ignorant comments where people are blaming the farmers for not using the opportunity wisely. That line of argument is a consequence of zero knowledge of basic economics. The farmers are to a large extent, victims of the situation we find ourselves.

Hoarding is a crime, and most of our farmers lack the capacity to hold onto their produces longer than two to three months cos they simply sell and buy fertilizer and other farm inputs as well as household groceries. The hoarders are the corrupt politicians and biz people with warehouses, and with capacity to store these products for years. Again, rather than targeting these persons, the government is allowing more importation, the lazy-man solution.

The people benefiting from the agricultural value chain locally are large. All these drama will just make them jobless. I understand there is hunger in the land but government should take up the responsibility of tackling insecurity and dealing with their hoarder friends so that food can be cheap. Subsidy for farming inputs are also great. Afterall, the farmers in countries we are importing from are heavily subsidized by their govts. Y not we? Why kill local industry. BUNCH OF MEDIOCRES.

God punish some of these senseless, moronic, Demonic and idiotic nincompoop parading themselves as governors. You can't probe the killing of over 200 people by these bloodsucking Fulani demons, but u can probe to know the killers of their cows. You're a fool.
This is why the herdsmen can't stop killing our people. Go and see what these guys are doing in Benue right now. You will cry.
These cows have over the years destroyed so many crops which has in turn led to food shortage across the country. The herders have being killing, butchering and maiming our farmers on their own soil, but the government has never launched any investigation. Cows are now more relevant than human beings.

These cows and their Fulani herdsmen are one of the major reasons were are crying of hunger today.

The $2.5 trillion wipeout in the S&P 500 would have ripple effects on Nigeria’s economy:

1. Oil Prices: The slowdown in global growth due to tariffs could decrease demand for oil, leading to lower oil prices — a direct blow to Nigeria’s oil-dependent economy.
2. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI): With rising global uncertainty, investors may pull back from emerging markets like Nigeria. The prospect of a US recession would deter investment in Nigeria’s non-oil sectors.
3. Inflation Pressure: The devaluation of the dollar globally and disrupted supply chains could drive inflation in Nigeria, increasing the cost of imported goods and affecting the already fragile purchasing power.
4. Remittances: A potential US recession may affect Nigerians living abroad, reducing remittances, which make up a significant portion of Nigeria’s foreign exchange reserves.
5. Dollar Shortages: As the US dollar weakens or fluctuates, Nigeria, already struggling with a dollar shortage, may face more severe FX crises, worsening import costs. what have you benefited from the high cost of oil, rather a cause of high inflation in our country



The US-China tariff war would likely trigger global economic deceleration, making it harder for Nigeria to meet its growth targets and increasing the risk of an economic downturn.
