I read the news and I was like, how is that possible?
This is kidnapping not arrest.

izzou:
I know someone who almost went to jail because of this in Nigeria.

He was a Driver, and while he was at that park, someone brought an envelope to send as a waybill.

The person said it was a document that was there, so he didn't open it.

While on the journey, NDLEA stopped him, searched the vehicle and searched the envelope. Behold, a small nylon was inside with white powder. They arrested him

Because they believed his story, they sent their agents in Benin to go to the park (He was heading to Benin), and call the recipient that the waybill has arrived.

That was how the Weyrey showed up, and they arrested him. Na wetin save that guy be that.

Hmm, Kudos to those NDLEA officials, they do their work dutifully just to bail the innocent man out. If it na police, na sorry be the case, he may go to jail because of it.
May God help us all.

Oriyomi bawo?
That one just dey deceive himself

izzou:
Did you hear the statement his lawyer made yesterday?

Yes or No?

I mean Nnamdi Kanu's lawyer

He said that no governor’s order in the South-East can end the Monday sit at home, and that only Kanu can stop it,on the condition that he must be released from prison.

Amethyst101:
It is correct. Those are the 15 goal scorers of all the conceded goals that season.

Those two 2-2 draws are from the same matches, so don't count them twice.

oh, thank you, making sense now

You can't win it all.🤣🤣🤣

Nemesis0147:
So we only lost 1 game

I don’t think that screenshot is accurate. We conceded only 15 goals in total, but I have counted 19 goals in what you posted.

They said wisdom is stress to an empty stomach


This guy blew an opportunity of a lifetime.

Recently, iShowSpeed was in Lagos and met a fitness content creator named Jack Manuel. After they competed by bending irons, Jack showed just how incredibly strong he is. iShowSpeed was clearly impressed and genuinely drawn to his strength.

Then came the moment that could have changed everything for Jack.

iShowSpeed asked him a simple, yet specific but powerful question: “Bro, how do I make you happy?”

That was not a random question... That was an open door and a rare moment. An opportunity that does not come around often.

That was Jack’s chance to think beyond tonight’s dinner. Instead of thanking iShowSpeed for such great opportunity, say he would like to compete on international fitness challenges, he asked for $10,000 instead.

My heart sank immediately. My tongue became bitter and I felt sick instantly.

Many people may not realize this, but @ishowspeedsui is very close to @MrBeast, the biggest YouTuber in the world.

Mr Beast is known for creating content around extraordinary people, and Jack’s strength fits perfectly into that space. One thoughtful response and Jack could have positioned himself for a global breakthrough.

So many people focus on quick money and ignore the process, the relationships, and the platforms that create sustainable wealth. This is why they always think of “destiny helper” in liquid (cash) form and such mentality only exists in the mind of the pøor.

When a man grows up believing that help only comes as cash, he struggles to recognize real opportunities when they appear. Jack lacks perspective.

I sincerely hope life gives him another chance to change things for him quickly.

I'm very sure the guy (Jack) belongs to the group of "Education is a scam".

Bimmarlykay:
I repeat,its Arsenal's trophy to lose.

City ain't consistent, Chelsea and Liverpool ain't reliable, except Man u and Villa keep up, Arsenal is taking that league unless.

Amoto94:
Morata you mentioned the production capacity of Thailand but you didn't mention that their farmers have been supported over the years to reach such milestone? To achieve food security we have to support our farmers with farm inputs and storage facilities to prevent post-harvest loss, anything short of this is cosmetic surgery

Yes, Thailand’s rice success did not happen overnight, but the claim that Nigeria has not supported its farmers is not 100% correct.
Over the years, Nigeria has provided substantial support to farmers, particularly in rice production, through policies, funding, and direct interventions.

A key example is the Anchor Borrowers’ Programme (ABP).
The ABP provided billions of naira in loans, improved seeds, fertilizers, to hundreds of thousands of farmers across the country.
Tjough it is believed that the northern regions benefited more significantly, the programme play a major role nationwide.
Many of the rice clusters and modern rice mills we see today exist largely because of ABP support.

Beyond ABP, numerous grants and loan facilities were made available to farmers. But, a major challenge has been misuse of funds. In many cases, once these funds were disbursed, some beneficiaries diverted them to personal use instead of farming activities. I can cite countless real-life examples of this problem. Even I know someone who used the fund to buy Okada.

Another serious hurdle has been hoarding and capture of government support by a few individuals.
I can't count the numbers of times they will come to our farms write our names, take pictures but not knowing that they are just using us to get money from FG.

For instance, in 2021, after the COVID-19 lockdown, the federal government released grain running into hundreds of thousands of metric tons to support farmers and stabilize food supply.
In the South-West, a large portion of this grain was allegedly cornered by just two individuals from Ogun STATE, one based in Abeokuta, a former military officer (I don't want to mention his name), so all the grain that is meant for southwest was cornered by these 2 people. But, in the North, the allocation was reportedly distributed more evenly among beneficiaries.

So the critical question is this,
Should these failures be blamed on the Federal Government, or on weak distribution, or greedy people or accountability of those who are in charge?

So, In summary, support was given, funds were released, and interventions were made. The real issues lie in mismanagement, diversion, hoarding, and lack of accountability, not in the absence of government support.

Fremlin:
Na now this mumu Chelsea women coach go make changes

We should forget about the league for this season, na BlueMann e go pain most.😂

monerozi5590:
Lemme tell you something. There's nothing like greed here. Inputs and other cost of production keeps increasing. DAP fertilizer was 50/60k for 50kg like 2 years ago but now is about a 100k for same kg. For a smale scale maize farmer, he will pay for labour in In-Season and during harvest. During harvest, he will pay for labour like plucking, threshing, winnowing, bagging and all of that. The cost of producing maize keeps increasing. Factor in all of these things and you will see is a big loss on the farmers and all with the crash in price.

You can't import your way out of food insecurity because it is counter productive and it will fall flat. Think about the future and how this will affect us as a nation. Serious hunger because production will be very very low.

here is what Adesina and Sanusi have to say about this.

For the record the price of chicken feed didn't drop, rather it is increasing.

1 + 1 will always equal 2.
That is essentially the argument Sanusi and Adesina are making, and from a purely economic theory , they are 100% correct.

However, the real question is this,can that theory work in Nigeria, where we are not self-sufficient in food production?
Let me illustrate with a simple example.
Assume Lagos has just 3 loaves of bread for 25 people, while Aba has 10,000 loaves for 100 people, but we are restricted to go to Aba to bring bread for people in Lagos, what do you think will happen to bread seller in Lagos?
Profiteering.
Prices will skyrocket because scarcity gives sellers power.
That, is what has happened in Nigeria over the last 3 years.

Maybe you be Abroadian and you don't stay in Nigeria , because
Between September 2023 and March 2025, hunger was widespread. You could barely walk a kilometer without seeing people begging for money just to feed their families.
Now that food prices are easing slightly, some people are calling it a “bad policy.”

How can reducing hunger be a bad policy?

The truth is simple, you cannot plan an economy on empty stomachs.
A hungry man is an angry man. It is only when people are reasonably fed and stable that long-term economic planning can make sense.
Na statistics we go chop?

Look at Thailand for example. With a population of about 70 million, Thailand produces roughly 23 million tonnes of rice annually. Nigeria, with an estimated population of over 200 million, produces less than 7 million tonnes, yet our annual consumption is estimated at 11–12 million tonnes.
So the critical question remains,
Where is the shortfall supposed to come from?

Until Nigeria addresses food sufficiency and production at scale, applying textbook economic theories without considering local realities will continue to produce hardship rather than prosperity.

Ngolo Kante

Yes or No?

monerozi5590:
Does what you wrote even make sense to you.

1. What do you think is responsible for the crash in price of some of those commodities?

2. This is not only affecting farmers, it is affecting Agro Tech Companies and some financial institutions

3. When the worth of the value of your inputs is higher than the worth of your outputs. That's a loss. Their financial statement ain't looking good at all

4. Let's say farmer A . Maize farmer collected inputs worth 5 million and after harvest he couldn't even recover half of the loan. What do you think will happen to the farmer, the company and all?

I don't want to go into details and all, that thread raumdeuter shared summarized everything.

Prior to the removal of the fuel subsidy, or let's say in December 2022,a bag of rice sold for between ₦28,000 and ₦35,000.
By December 2024, that same bag was selling for ₦88,000–₦90,000, an increase of over 200%.

Similarly, 100kg of maize, which sold for ₦13,000–₦17,000 in 2022, had risen to ₦65,000–₦70,000 by 2024, representing a staggering 330–400% increase.
So, what caused this? It was just greed among some farmers. With the borders closed, and considering Nigeria’s population of over 200 million, even if all farmers quadrupled their current output, we still wouldn’t meet national demand. Knowing this, some farmers took advantage of the shortages, especially in rice and maize and they increased prices.
Today, many in the north have become billionaires almost overnight. That’s pure profiteering.

Between 2023 and 2024, almost half of poultry farms closed (I will provide you with the links) due to the high cost of production. Maize, an essential feed ingredient, became unaffordable, leaving farmers with little to no profit.
Many in our WhatsApp groups for the Remo zones, Ogun State Chapter, and the combined Ogun-Ibadan group were openly lamenting this crisis, many left the country while many put their farms for sales.

Thankfully, the federal government intervened in July 2024 by declaring a 150-day duty-free window to import maize. This move helped stabilize prices and allowed previously closed poultry farms to reopen. So the prices of food reduction we have now start from that move, It shows the immediate impact that access to affordable food inputs can have.

The truth is, Nigeria is not yet self-sufficient in food production. With over 200 million people, stopping food imports entirely is unrealistic. Doing so would only lead to hunger and more profiteering for farmers.
How many of our farmers are mechanized ones?
So we can't produce half of what we eat daily.

As for concerns that imports might negatively impact the economy, it works like a chain reaction, when essential items are affordable, it positively affects the cost and production of other goods, and farm products.
When the raw material is affordable the end product will also be affordable , I don't know how this is hard for you to understand .
Food availability at a cheaper price is the best thing to happen for common man.

I know you are a good Nigerian citizen and want the best for Nigeria and our farmers. So, when you go to the market and a bag of rice is sold for ₦55,000, pay ₦80,000 for yours and explain your reason that you don't want Nigeria to experience inflation
Thank you.

[quote]Farmars are really suffering .

How?

Tinubu needs to stop importation or else I fear serious hunger in the future.

You don't know what you are saying.

Are you a farmer?


I'm a mix farmer both livestock and crop farmer, and I'm happy with reduction in prices.

Falling food prices are not a curse, as people project it they are a blessing to the nations
Affordable food helps households, reduces pressure on the economy, and forces efficiency in farming. If you can’t sell at a competitive price when alternatives exist, you lose out,
just last week a bag of tomatoes that was sold about ₦22 something thousands months ago was sold less than ₦8,000, and we used the money to buy garri we bought ₦12,000 months ago less than ₦9,000,
that’s how markets work, and everybody was happy .

As a poultry farmer, I’ve benefited also. A 25kg bag of finisher feed dropped from ₦25k–₦26k last year to just over ₦21k today.
That’s over ₦5k saved per bag. Multiply that by 3,000 bags, and calculate the gains.

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.

You know nothing about farming .
