What is Oro?

Something has to be done...
There's Oro in Ikorodu today that children should be partying...
It's unacceptable!
Daytime Oro should be banned in Lagos state..

Pattern recognition is powerful. It used to be mainly spiritual, but data science has shown us that it is highly scientific. The shepherds recognised the star pattern so they knew a king was born. Those who read your palm to know your future developed their abilities to recognise patterns. Likewise, modern marketers are able to sell more by collecting data and analysing patterns. It is all about patterns.

Patterns can be deceptive and so we use logic in it's analysis. Does it mean that because a pattern is frequent with some group of people that it is definitely a must that such characteristic is peculiar to them? It is only a signal to investigate further. Does it mean that because the pastor recognised prostitutes use chains in their legs where he lives means everyone that uses chains are prostitutes? Knowing that in his environment, there are popular spiritual sects that forbids jewelry usage. What about the rich Indian and arabic families that make their daughters where 24 carat gold on their legs? Are those one prostitutes too? Might be prostitutes in his place wear extremely cheap chains on their legs. Oh....then, maybe pattern recognition tells me to watch out more for anyone who wears cheap chain on her legs. But wait! I need to learn how to quickly spot cheap leg chains. Hmmmm! Perhaps, anyone who can't quickly recognise an expensive leg chain is a "maga". Lol! And to even be bold to express his illiteracy publicly is what? I bet you can answer it too.

This pastor lacks the ability to interpret patterns and he has been making too many mistakes lately. I only pity those that follow him. He is showing the pattern of being a real "maga". Hehehehhehe! Following him puts you at risk of learning heresy.

Food problem increased because of greedy middle men and creations of artificial scarcity. Tinubu is not favoring massive imports(you mean). He simply opened the borders as you guys claim that you can't cope. Should we all die, waiting for you to cope?

People in WFP are talking of best practices, you are referring me to your SS2 class, SMH.
Are you saying that we have enough food and to spare in Nigeria? Did you also learn about demand and supply in economics?
Where are you and your farmer friends, i think you need to meet with millionaire and billionaire farmers. It appears you're not getting enough memo.

Exporting rice from Nigeria is illegal. The Nigerian Export Prohibition Act prohibits the export of rice, along with other food items like beans, maize, and yam. Any attempt to export these goods is considered an offense under the law.

https://placng.org/lawsofnigeria/view2.php?sn=145

You export cash crops, not food crops. How can we not have enough and you are exporting?

World best practice, not SS 2 work:

Ensure domestic needs are met first.

Promote sustainable farming practices.

Support fair trade and equitable access to land and resources.

And why are you exporting rice when we don't have enough? The government is giving all kinds of help to make food available for Nigerians and kebbi wants to export them? SMH

Raxxye:
Well. Thanks for your explanation, though it's not enough to make me support the farmers' quest for increased food prices so they can make profit; that doesn't just make sense to me.
High food prices would encourage young people to go into farming because it would be profitable, while the majority of the populace would die of starvation because food would be beyond their reach. Think about it!

The issue of funds diversion is the fault of the government, not farmers. You can blame Emefiele and his cronies, not farmers. At least, not genuine farmers. The EFCC and the Police should do their jobs. Border closure was a bad idea, and I said so at the time. Just as what's going on now (massive imports) are a bad idea. Here's what government ought to do:
1. Fix the problems of the agric sector - insecurity, roads, police extortion, etc. This will reduce farm input cost.
2. Consider subsiding farm input - fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides, machinery, etc. (Other countries do this, that's why their farmers are able to export cheaply and put our farmers out of business).
3. Allow export, so that farmers can earn forex (this encourages more farming) and guarantees food security in the long term.
4. Allow imports, so that farmers can't hike prices and take advantage of the Nigerian consumer (this protects the little guy and keeps the farmer happy since he can still make profit because his input cost isn't too high).

The step government is taking now (allow imports without addressing agric sector problems) will make farming unprofitable. That will discourage farming and put us almost entirely at the mercy imports/importers. The long-term economic consequences won't be pretty. Forget the crashing prices of rice - that's temporary.

Babangidapikin:
I am happy the way Nigeria customs are doing everything to intercept Rice especially at the express way, unfortunately this guy's use unusual routes ... You need native intelligence to catch them.

jchioma:
You guys may need to count your losses and re-strategize for the long term. Foodstuffs prices are quite high and the government needs to intervene by possibly introducing consistent support mechanisms to the farmers.
Likewise cement, these things are produced locally here in Nigeria.

Sibrah:
The capacity to process what is being produced in raw form is the issue on one hand and the market shift on another.
During PDP years when there was excess harvest, they embraced bread making with cassava flour. I hope Tinubu doesnt wait 6 more years before embracing what works for all.

No be only step, na staircase. Nigerians are generally super greedy if given chance and monopoly. Dem go rip you die.
These farmers were given money in the billions by government, especially Buhari. So many people collected money even without being farmers, just connection. Grow naija, grow naija, no show. Because of them, Buhari locked borders officially for years. These guys created artificial scarcity and sold at ridiculous inflation profits. Now, government has allowed import, they are taking steps. Wicked devils.

It's same thing in different sectors. See agent to help you for job, admission, visa, etc. They'll collect more than double of the official fees and block road to make sure it's only accessible to them. We have a bunch of religious devils all over.

Raxxye:
Why do Nigerian farmers always prefer to impose high prices on Nigerians?
The other day it was rice farmers that were crying that they were losing money and were shutting down their factories and farms because the price of rice had crashed.
Today, cassava farmers want the prices to remain high up. Why are people like this sef?

Ever8090:
how about crashing the cost of farming the cassava .like chemicals, cost of labour, transportation etc ...if those areas are not taken care of, the famers will have to lay down their tools or only farm for household consumption and people like you who can't even farm one cassava stem will go hungry or buy imported commodities at high cost which is exactly what those imports are fighting to achieve...

CHAQUR:
Because everyone now has access to the Internet, every Tom, dick and Harry now comment from the comfort of their rooms and believe that they too are correct given economic advice.
Like every other things in Nigeria, whenever the government regulate a sector by checking importation so as to improve the production in the sector, people will start taking advantage & decided to export instead of supplying the home needs. The home consumers will again shout to the government of unavailability & high cost... What else is expected of government than to relax the regulations and resume importation. Remember when dollars was rising, paint rubber of garri was almost dragging out of the reach of the poor despite being a complete local food. They were sending it to surrounding Africa countries for high exchange cefas.

Guestmale:
Your submission is great, but I don't want to put the blame completely on government,we citizens on our own have our own problem, most Nigerians are unpatriotic ,we always misused opportunities and also as bad as the those people in power. Secondly we don't have enough patience and a government that is coming back for a reelection will not be folding its arm and be talking grammar,the hungry man on the street doesn't understand grammar.

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.

Nice one from government

Nigerians are wicked, I support the government policy on this one
