The government should also lower the cost of grains.

donpata:
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.

Why now, he should have been detained there.

Stop being quarter clever. I sighted a recent situation where the Muslim were just aggressive for nothing.

Go on Facebook and see how some Muslim have been talking about the intolerant of some Alfas, Sheik.

The likes of Shekau, Turji Bello already gave Muslim bad name. This same Gumj saw nothing wrong with their activities

There is a law in Ogun state which mandated the traditionals to always put of their music whenever they are passing Infront of Church or mosque. Those Olorisha did just that but yet the Muslim attacked them questioning why are they passing Infront of their mosque. Government road for that matter

Dem don deport Peter Obi's friend.

Saudi authorities have barred and deported prominent Kaduna-based Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, from participating in the 2025 Hajj pilgrimage, despite initially granting him a visa.

Sheikh Gumi confirmed the development on Monday, May 26, 2025, by posting on his official Facebook page. He explained that although he received a visa for Hajj, he was denied entry into Medina, where he was scheduled to commence his religious rites.

According to findings, Gumi was among a group of clerics sponsored by the Nigerian Hajj Commission to offer religious support during the pilgrimage.

Racoon:
An average fella under this coven of satanic fiends always live in a world fantasy - completely out of touch with the painful reality that is hitting the common man. They just don't care if this leads to a loss of trust in them and good governance.

That's slip of tongue

If you want to believe your point, that's okay. I won't try to convince you. After all, Vance is able to do all of these despite people mocking him with Elon Musk as Billionaire VP. Trump gave him a free hand and he has done it well. If not that Ukraine meeting was like an ambush, Trump will have him at his side in meetings.

papyjaypaul:
I know what you mean but it is not always the case. Buhari's second time coming made people realize that Idiagbon was calling the shots and this was as far back as 1984. As you said, Atiku was powerful in OBJ's presidency. Why it has changed since then is the kind of people we have in power, at federal and state level. The current President had 3 deputy governors during his tenure as Lagos Governor.

If the number 1 is not scared of 2, they will let them flourish but the insecurity of the number 1 is why it looks like 2 is a spare tire. It has nothing to do with the office, it's the personality of the leader and this is how we know they can't lead. Buhari first tried it by giving Osinbajo the free hand until Babachir challenged him. People think it was the Northern forces who didn't want him to be popular, what they don't know is that someone did not want any of his protégé to outshine him. If it could happen with Fashola, your loyalty will not be tested with Osibanjo

Before Pope Francis died, it was VP Vance who met with him

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WB7Vm6KWkqg

VP Vance went to the EU to talk to their leaders there. He scolded them

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2BzS5S_Of0

Or do you want to see when Vance went to Greenland after his wife said she would vacation there and they changed it for them?

Was there any Obidient in 2015 when Saraki allegedly called Osinbajo a mere commissioner? When was Saraki an Obidient?

What is your gain from telling lies about things that could be easily factchecked

Validated:
Since Tinubu declared interest in 2023, Osinbajo drums and his drummers' noise have been deflated. All we hear now is that Osinbajo is waiting for Buhari's nod. What a pathetic rhetorics. Why would a vice-president be so docile that he has to await his principal'z nod to run for an office that the same principal is not gunning for? Do we now see "star boy" is actually a "mere commisioner"?

Only a mere commissioner will not dare challenge people who are out to take a job that is arguably his rightful role to occupy.
Only a mere commissioner will be soooo scared to contest the 2023 elections after serving as vp for 7 years.
Only a mere commissioner will be using pseudo groups to chase clout instead of openly picking up the gauntlet.

Osinbajo is a weakling, even worse than Jonathan. They are people who could not use their God given opportunity. Weak souls.

papyjaypaul:
I can refer to him as that but who coined the word? Obidients? You are not the first to write something like that.
Babachir Lawal asked who is the Presidency? If obidients or Atikulates ask the same question, will you say they coined it?

seguno2:
How is refusing to be the northern candidate in 2003 to make Obasanjo a one term president (OTP) like Jagaban made Jonathan, equal to challenging the president? Was that not the first time Buhari asked us for the job of president and failed

How you guys rewrite history just because of politics is shameful. I asked you for proof but I know you won't have. You just post it, lie on it and think you can run away with it. Don't worry.

I had genuinely forgotten about our VP. Man has been relegated to the background…. He should engage the services of influencers to boost and restore his image.

Sparsy:
Big Men dem.

When will I ever get to a point in my life where ordinary food will no longer be my problem? A level where I can reach out to the downtrodden?
Life isn't easy on me at all.

Dry kitchen, Dry stomach, Dry pocket. No family. Struggles everyday. What a life!

If a child was born in 2012, when did he now use those batteries?

So how do a kid born in 1997 used those phones?
