their members lost onions and property...

By Abubakar Auwal

The Onion Producers and Marketers Association of Nigeria (OPMAN) has said it will cut off supply to entire southern Nigeria beginning from Monday if the government fails to respond to the association’s demands.
Daily Trust gathered that one of OPMAN’s demands is that its members who had suffered losses as a result of ethno-religious crises in the South must be duly compensated.

Others include restoration of law and order in those areas as well as a thorough investigation to uncover the remote causes of those attacks on their members.

OPMAN also called on the host communities to respect the constitutional rights of northern traders in their respective states.

Addressing journalists after the association’s meeting in Sokoto at the weekend, OPMAN’s President, Aliyu Isa, noted that members of the association lost onions and property worth N4.5 billion in various attacks in the south.

According to him, during the Aba crisis in Abia State, the association lost three members, while about 30 trailers, 9 utility cars, 50 stores and 10,000 bags of onion, among other valuables belonging to their members, were destroyed.

In Shasa, Oyo State, he said 27 lives, five trailers, 5,600 bag of Onions, 12 utility vehicles and other valuables were lost.

Isah added that members were robbed of onions worth N13 million in Imo State.

He said, “After full deliberation by the executive members of this association and the failure of government to respond to our cry, we resolved…that we are shutting down the supply of onions to the entire South by Monday, June 7, 2021, unless all our demands are met.”

please ooo, we are still suffering of costly beans and fruits... Pity us

What else is not coming from the north What happened to our farming system here

Goodluck to them

Another exercise that will backfire. If you want to cut onion be ready also to cut tomatoes and everything so that it will perish in your houses.
Stupid people.

Idiots, please cut the supply and everything will perish.

Then don't expect anything oil from the south. North has onions, while south has oil. Wickedness everywhere

That's what ipob terrorist caused.

They have started again. Do they have enough buyers in the north?

We don't need it. They can keep the onions for their generations if they like.

Seriously it's not funny, foods are too costly.... We need good security for our farmers to go back to farm

They cut off onions supply to South-East and nobody send them, nobody even noticed because we are all over the place against the twitter ban.

Now, they have threatened the whole South to get our attention, I never knew Northerners always crave Southetners attention.

Can it happen already?

The last time they were still the ones crying that their goods worth millions are spoiling.

Southern Nigeria don suffer, north flexing muscle over south since 1914

Senility I guess is a criterion to support buhari and tifnubu else what's this nonsense you just wrote?

I dey laugh people like una. I know you were jubilating when they said they wanted to cut onion supply to the east. Now na entire south. LMAO

Owanbe in the fücking mud!!

If they could used the onions themselves without selling, then they can continue with their supply cutting.

But if they can't use the onions themselves, can't sell to other market, then they are embarking in a suicide mission

If you’re indeed a true proud southerner you shouldn’t ask that question @ bold.

You think all this Fulani killings raping here and there in the southern part of this country isn’t an agenda to frustrate our southern farmers ?

Southerners are predominantly farmers in rural areas, they are not lazy.

How come the north that claim to feed the country don’t have land for grazing cow but it’s the southern Nigeria that have abundant grass for grazing Fulani cows .

I will assume you don’t see from this angle.

For all I know
you can grow onions any where

Stupid Aboki's. Keep your onions let them rot on your farms. See if we care

We dey here dey wait and observe. Las las all of us go tire for this corn-tree

Ok. We have heard. Do ya worst.

Onions Kee Una dia..

No problem, abok.is

Why is everything not working in this God damn forsaken country.


Have they talk about how to compensate the families of the innocent southerners who are being murdered on their farm by their fulani brother.

If it's about them that's when you would see them screaming on top their voice.


It's not their fault. Sheybi we are the one that refuse cultivate when we have abundant lands.

Mumu people everywhere


Who onion epp?
