Food › Re: The Hidden Danger Of Falling Food Prices In Nigeria by JuanDeDios: 6:55pm On Jan 23 |
TechToyin: Many people are happy that food prices are coming down. On the surface, it looks like good news. But there is a serious danger most people are not talking about.
Cheaper food is good for consumers, but not always good for farmers While buyers enjoy relief, many farmers are selling at a loss.
Cost of farming is still very high Fertilizer, diesel, transport, labour, and insecurity are still expensive. Prices fell, costs did not.
Farmers are losing capital Most Nigerian farmers use money from the last harvest to fund the next season. Losses now mean no money later.
Many farmers may not plant next season When farmers cannot afford seeds, fertilizer, or labour, they reduce production or quit entirely.
This leads to future food shortages Less planting today means less food tomorrow, which will push prices up again.
Nigeria has no strong price support system There are no effective minimum price guarantees or working buffer stock programs to protect farmers.
Poor storage forces distress sales Because farmers can’t store food, they rush to sell during harvest when prices are lowest.
Middlemen and traders also suffer losses Oversupply and weak demand affect the entire value chain, not just farmers.
Price instability scares investors away Serious investors avoid agriculture when prices swing wildly from profit to loss.
Low prices today can mean hunger tomorrow If farmers collapse, Nigeria will depend more on imports and face worse food inflation later.
Bottom line: The problem is not high prices or low prices. The real problem is unstable prices. If Nigeria does not protect farmers now, today’s cheap food will become tomorrow’s food crisis.

Family › Re: My Wife Refuses To Cook With Charcoal Stove! by JuanDeDios: 6:45pm On Jan 23 |
Kobojunkie: 1. Well, she has a valid point there. Why should she have to take on additional stress all in order that you can save yourself from the stress of having to do more to afford the bills? I mean, you are trying to give her more work to do because you don't want to have to do more work as a provider. That ogboju dem dey call that one. 🥱🥱🥱
2. What reason would you have to suggest she do that, though? Anyways, you could always divorce your wife and go find yourself a cheaper woman who wouldn't mind cooking using charcoal and taking on all the stress that goes along with it. Alternatively, you can take over cooking duty in your home so you can handle the stress all by yourself instead of stacking on to the stress your wife already has to deal with. 🥱🥱🥱 That charcoal stove is not particularly stressful. It doesn't smoke either. He's just trying be financially sensible so that they can afford house rent, school fees, etc., and maybe save something to build their own house or buy a car. Why are you like this? Na him sabi wetin him marry sha. |

You throw out the water once it starts boiling up. Of course, you should rinse before doing that. But I'm curious what you mean by serious washing - you use soap or what? |

DeclanR: Guys please help me before I mistakenly Eat poison. I'm always careful of whatever goes inside of me because it will hardly come out.
I bought a mudu of Butter Beans yesterday, I'm cooking it right now. But after parboiling it, I perceive a kerosene-like smell oozing out of it. I don't know what this means.
I have stories of people who ate such, and died afterwards.
Someone please explain to me. Should I continue or throw it away?
Urgently please. These days, you parboil beans and throw away the first water - so you don't ingest the chemicals they used in preserving it (especially if you don't see any weevils on it). Did you do this? If the smell is strong, yeah, you should throw it away. |

Politics › Re: Sanwo-olu, Ezekwesili Clash Over Makoko Demolitions by JuanDeDios: 1:54pm On Jan 21 |
seunmsg: Demolition happens everywhere in Nigeria and it’s not a big deal. It doesn’t even make the news. When same happens in Lagos, it becomes a big news. And usually, it’s always folks from the SE that always try to make an issue out of it.
I am glad Sanwoolu is now toughening up. The days of allowing them to gaslight him is over. Lagos will do everything that is necessary to positively project the image and interest of Lagos without minding the hate and bad wishes of her enemies. But Mrs Ezekwesili explained that the demolition went beyond what was agreed due to safety concerns. How is stating that hate and bad wishes? Is this a genuine exercise undertaken for safety or another elite landgrab that will soon see us seeing sand filling and skyscrapers? Is Eko Atlantic 2 loading? |

There is NO placating a BULLY. Only way to handle a BULLY is to respond with STRENGTH. Europe has the CAPACITY to do that yet they chose the path of CU.UUU.CKHOLDRY.
