Hate Filled IPOB cannibals everywhere are too DUMB to realise that Nigeria are going through a phase.

Every developed country in the world at one time changed their system but not without some sacrifices. Tinubu is changing the direction of the country and but BITTER&HATEFUL IPOB cannibals can not see it.

We have one of the lowest minimum wage, but the highest expenditure on food.

This is dumb because not everyone parties, and not everyone goes to religious gatherings, but everyone eats.

Working to feed is the only thing Nigerians do right now due to the harsh nature of our Economy. A good leader is what we all pray for.

I think leadership in the context of Nigeria is overrated. Leadership is merely the few organizing the activities of the many. It does not confer supernatural powers on leadership or absolve the followership of competence or responsibility.

Nigeria is what it is today because of an abundance of ignorant, incompetent and irresponsible folks masquerading as bonafide citizens.

NBS would soon use a new method to arrive at the fact we use 5% of our income on food

Lol

I gave up on NBS when their method of determination of poverty was asking people if they where poor or not..

We waste food.
We don't know how to invent diff cuisines using what we have. We rather allow raise foodstuffs perish eg, fruits, veggies, proteins or even carb.

We are primarily a consumer nation.

Pls stop comparing First world country with this country.
Food intake = work output
And in our case, the reward for hard labour is minute.
That's why we have to eat more to balance the work we do.
Why do you think we don't have much obese individuals in Nigeria?
Why do you think we blow when we get to the so called first class world countries. Cus we're coming from hell

Thank you. All we know is food food food.
We even rate you by the kind of food you prepare. Go to food section. Prepare the so called common man food, people will insult you tire.
Another important thing I have been saying is we don't know how to convert what we have to what we wil use in the future.
Eg, we have mango, people cook with mango. There is mango jam.
All over the world, banana stem is an edible except in Nigeria. What about bamboo shoot from bambo tree?
Why can't we grow mushroom and use as substitute to animal protein.

I posted on food section how palm oil was made and used to do so many delicacies you will be wondering is it our palm oil.
We waste food as we waste other things a lot.
We have cassava,nobody have thought of making cassava noodle. Noodle aside rice is the most consumed food in this world. Families can make cassava noodles. How about coconut. Avocado.
You can never see Avocado oil from Nigeria yet these fruits waste everyday in some parts of Nigeria.
We deserve all that comes our way. Here, the rich plant somethings in their backyard but its an abomination to see a middle-class naija plant something in his empty farm cos farming is for the poor.
Oranges waste in naija. Orange marmalade is popular. Wetin do our hands.

This is what you get with very low iq people.
Even common rice has ricecake, rice noodles and rice wine. And more people are experimenting and combining to see what more they can get out of rice . Nigerians are very lazy.
sausage is a multi billion dollar business. We only cook and eat meat. Do suya and that's all.

Bro.... You can start by educating people, but, the truth is, people can not do what the govt is supposed to do, also, when you match income to expenditure in all sectors not just only homes, expenditures are now more than income, even when you try to manage your resources and cut down on many expenses....
Fuel for car owners and transportation for non car owners practically takes half of your income, while food takes the other....
Unfortunately, income is not in creasing
