₦airaland Forum

NGpatriot:
The North feeds you every day, the food they send to every corner of Nigeria is valued at billions of Naira daily which circulates through economy our economy and you are asking about value.

The question should be what value do you bring to the table from your own region that's actually the poorest and weakest economically.

.

I think they produce most of our foodstuffs...
Why can't we remain one

Slayar:
Food .They produce cheaper food.I do agree with you though, without the north,per capita income would be better for southerners.

Dumb


Back in the days in school, I read Northern Nigeria is arid (arid is it fertile)?

Southern Nigeria has arable land (fertile land)

That the government is pushing money there for them to be able to use chemicals (Fertilizers) to reduce our life span doesn't mean there land is fertile (reason for the money from government though, just to have an input on the oneness nonsense)

I produce food so I have the right to counter you.

I'm from South

Iyaebe:
They feed the nation (foodstuffs).Bitter truth.

North is arid

South is Arable

The government's attention is just focused there. Whatever you think they produce if the government pushes $, South will produce with quarter of that $

But would the government do that? NO

A lot of ignorance on this thread shows that people don't really know what is going on in Nigeria. Imagine someone saying which Cocoa does Nigeria produce.

Nigeria is the 3rd largest Cocoa producer in West Africa, behind Ghana and Ivory Coast.

Cocoa production is a southern venture with the SW and SS actively involved. We were producing a peak volume of 235,000 tons annually before GEJ left office with plans to scale to 1 million tons.

1 ton of Cocoa is sold at $2500 currently on the international market.

Buhari came to power and the federal ministry of agriculture discarded these plans. And they focused on Rice production which is majorly done in the North.

Which commodity has the capacity to earn more foreign exchange? Cocoa.

You could even develop both Rice and Cocoa as regional cash crops, but one was neglected while the other was proclaimed on rooftops while at the end of the day the price of one bag has tripled to over N20,000 in 2021 from N9000 in 2015.

Meanwhile, a CBN governor with no business in creating national investment does the job of the finance minister and the job of the minister of trade and investment.

So, if you see people clamoring for their own country it is because development is NOT a Nigerian agenda, CORRUPTION IS THE NIGERIAN AGENDA.

Obagreatdatoye:
Still remove Lagos...like you claim.
Your tribe or region will still not stand SW and it's great stride....infact una never reach!

No need to remove Lagos, I have said it earlier that the revenue generated by FG from oil in south south is more than the revenue generated by all states of the federation in a fiscal year. Try and get any statement of cashflow of the FG in year 2020 - 2021 and study the cash receipt (revenue) section. Let me try if there is a way I can get it and upload it for you.

Then if you wish to remove Lagos State, your region is nowhere near North Central or North West not to talk of South South.

Philistine:
The Op is a Yoruba person like you, this Yoruba guys opening so many foolish threads in this forum are actually tarnishing your image.

babasolution:
The Yoruba are a spinless people,they are terribly weak

babasolution:
When you hear the Yoruba beating drums of war,pls go back to sleep

babasolution:
All these fools laffing at Nnamdi kanu,the day the Nigerian system come for u,una go sh9ck

babasolution:
Why do you people hate Biafra,let Biafra go,you complain about igbos,but you don't want to let Biafra go

babasolution:
You guys think Igbo will give up their lands n property in Lagos just like that,Una never see anything,they own those lands forever

Yoruba people don't start dumb, ignorant and rettarded threads.

This clown is not Yoruba and he's not the first ipob to masquerade as Yoruba and he won't be the last disgusting ipob coward hiding his scum ipob identity

techWriter3:
The next time you are buying a Made in Nigeria product, just look at the back for where it was manufactured; and keep the record to yourself. All the best!

Okay

See poor ipobs struggling with war ravaged NE.

Even SW without Lagos is still ahead of you...

SE's Value is at the bottom inside shalanga..

You ipobs are always starting what you can not finish, even the North you are trying to rubbish are ahead of you..

So you feel if the North is not there, the South would starve? Is the food free? How do you mean feed?

We can always get better cheaper rice from Thailand, better cheaper beef from Argentina etc

hatred and bigotry is bad. Does Nigeria have enough FX to be buying food stuff from thailand or brazil. Its people whose region contribute next to nothing that cry all over nairaland mostly

If they oil of the south is left for the south alone,they will have more than enough forex,the north is a burden to this fx

this is a state that gets huge faac allocations and 13% derivation. But its water board buys water from abo ki. If they had all the oil money it will still be looted, used to import foreign babes and drink ogogoro. Southern leaders are worse than northern ones. North is not your problem you hear.

It is a lie,bayelsa gets about the lowest faac allocation due to population fraud.The 13% amounts to nothing

its not good to lie. Compare akwa ibom with bayelsa. Just 2 billion different. But we can various projects in akwa ibom and not bayelsa. Hatred for the north will get una no where

Apart from the South South, all other regions are parasites.
The most useless is the South East

The cars we are driving, the machineries we're using, the electronics, clothes etc are they from the North? Are they not imported?

If Nigeria breaks up, the SW, SS and SE will not miss the North, infact they'd be better for it.

Oghene1st:
Where did I say only Aworis are the indigenes? Check my comment again. I only said Awori own Lagos, this is to the effect that they are the majority tribe in Lagos. Look at my comment again, I said has Awori or an indigene of Lagos ever become the Governor of Lagos State. So you don't know why I included 'or an indigene of Lagos?'

You are truly educated. From the most educated tribe in Nigeria.

any yoruba can become a governor in any yoruba state. Yorubas are one. So it doesnt matter whether awori or ijebu or egun so far they are yoruba. All these your ranting doesnt change the fact that lagos is in south west. We didn't force you to invest in lagos because last time i checked lagos is not nigeria's capital

I'm from South

However they get their food produce doesn't matter, they produce food at a cheaper rate .

Fertile land in the south or not is another debate for another day. What is the volume / quantity of tomato / onion production in the south?

Note, I'm Yoruba . I'm for the West, but if I see truth I will say it.

mrvitalis:
Feed the nation with what exactly ?... Food we can get far cheaper from Cameron n Benin Republic?

Dont even mention cow and goat those come from Chad and central Africa republic north is just transit

Yam is from Benue , veggies like carrot n the rest ...come from pleatue ...so what exactly do north contribute

The food are they even giving it for free ? So south even provided exclusive market for them

Cow is around 120k to 150k elsewhere

Benue, plateau or middle belt are North

How many tractors and other implements does the government help Southerners with to cultivate the above produces?

A farmer in the North gets hands from cutting to harvesting

When Igbos locked their shops in AkwaIbom because of SUG tussle that was believed to have been won by Igbo guy but stripped off, the economy came to it's knees and the gov. had to beg them to reopen their shops.


Illiterates be writing rubbish on nairaland, I 'll keep saying it

Did you apply for one or know anyone who applied and wasn't given?

This is one reason I hate the stupidity of the South East and South South. Check everything you eat today which one is not from north? The beaf, tomato, water melon,rice, pepper, onion ram, Gold, Suger Cain, cucumber,grape, apple, the north is more productive than the south, in oil is the south is own by the northers because no body in the south has money to sponsor oil exploration operations. South East has nothing they are contributing to Nigeria NOTHING. NO city in the entire south East or South South can compete with the northern cities, Kano, Kaduna,gombe, meduguri, Borno, Jos, Katsina, etc. South East always deceiving themselves

To prove this point

We are going to run this through practically, arid vs Arable

Day to day update or weekly basis, any northerner in the house I challenge you.
No fertilisers, nothing but you can get your government help as usual or you can have a portion as the control of your experiment. No cheating.
We starting next two weeks from cutting, weekly updates preferrable and a crop we both can lay hands on

NB: I'm of the South it's not about hatred for North but to prove before the argument of wether you have a fertile land or not or just using fertilizers to kill us in this corntree in the name of food production. I guess the produce has been named


My nairaland friend MalcolmX, we have been through this before, can we?

[Are you not paying for the food? Did they give you their food free? If the north is not there won't you import the food from others countries? The oil money from the south is given to the northern state free, can you deny that?

My tenant applied last year as he was saying tractor bla bla bla, I didn't advise him.

I just hired labor and fell my trees. I have made a challenge, pictures would be uploaded when the challenge is picked by any northerner, I have named name and I want to flog with a cane. I'm not rapping

Only a black man will count food as a contribution to national development. Funny thing is that the youths are the one posting this crazy answer.

We really do deserve our leaders. Like my good friend always ask, can the black man ever be free?

Man! Are you taking up the challenge or be an online rouser about food production?

Do you know what foreign policy is?

Yeah, you import things and pay for it. It's just like we in the East import things and pay for them (foreign policy)

Without North, we can cross over to import


Don't worry, AkwaIbom is trying onion in commercial quantity, in no distant time, we bid North bye as we get from within

NGpatriot:
It's amazing that you cluelessly and unintentionally proved my point.

Food is Value, Oil is a Value, Cocoa is Value, whatever you have to sell or trade with in the form of product or general resources is VALUE, the same value you pay for when you buy their food.

This is simple economics and elementary common sense, not that ipobs are receptive when it comes to basic education and common sense.

I don't even know how or why you ipobs think that the food you buy and eat has no value, even though you pay every time you go to the market.

And food can be bought anywhere in the world
