@proeast....STOP GENERALIZING THE SOUTH PLEASE.

Let the north ban whatever. The SE basically doesnt eat what they produce enmass, and for crops that have economic importance, the SE can source from elsewhere.

In retaliating....all trucks conveying petroleum products to the North, wont pass the region. All gas supplies will be cut off. All cash crop proceeds like palm oil etc will not be sent up North.

We can source our meat from otherr sources that are obviously abundant.

This is the template between the NORTH and SE.

As regards the SW let them face their warrant...as

SOUTHERN UNITY IS DEAD. grin

This country is really funny.

Custom and immigration block and choke up the southern border with other countries, but the northern bother with chad, Niger and Cameroon is flowing like water. Even with the ECOWAS economic embargo on Niger, foods and commodity are flowing between Niger and northern Nigeria.

I read that Niger state governor has banned sale of food produce in wholesale. This same governor once muted the idea of controlling proceeds of electricity generated from Kainji and Shiroro dams.

What right does a governor have to ban sale of foodstuffs in wholesale? Especially in a country facing food crises and other existential threats?!

For those who may not have deciphered, this obnoxious policy is targeted at Southerners! It is the height of wickedness to enjoy oil and gas proceeds from the South free of charge only to place embargo on sale of foods grown in your own area.

Nigeria is a free market and capitalist country and thus, people are supposed to be free to transact business within the country as they deem fit or profitable, as long as it’s legal. Food is already cheaper in the North due to proximity than South. So, is that advantage not good enough for them?

It’s time for oil and gas producing states to go for broke and demand full resource control. You can’t freely enjoy what comes from another man’s land only to enjoy what comes from yours alone. That’s pure wickedness and witchcraft!

There is hardly any agricultural products being cultivated in the North that can not be grown in the South,the only sensible retaliation is for the southerners to start growing what we eat..massive urban migration is killing us

Nzogbu Nzogbu reactivated.

Always gra gra…no strategy.

Just like you aren’t getting the food for free, the North isn’t getting your oil and gas for free.

Just like the North gets a share of proceeds from oil, so does the south get a share of agro proceeds. Before you start capping, update yourself on agriculture’s contribution to GDP.

This measure is clearly a protectionist one by a Governor in the interest of his people that voted him & are already protesting, not a malicious one aimed to spite or targeted at the South.

Be more like your SW neighbors and instead focus on how you can use this opportunity to boost your regional agro activities and achieve food security, instead of your Nzogbu Nzogbu approach trying to incite others to retaliate an imaginary slight.

Which agricultural proceed? Just as NNPC is established and oversees the sales of crude oil and remit proceed to the federal government which all states in the federation shared, please enlighten me on the federal government agency, department or parastatal charged to harness the sales and export of agricultural products and remit proceeds to the federal government which is shared amongst the federated states.

Which agricultural based industry do the federal government own that produces, sales and export products to earn foreign currency which the states shared?

Oga what the governor banned is wholesale of food for the sake of the security of his people due to the looming hardship. This would bring the price of food down in Niger and make it affordable. Niger has not banned the supply of other things. If you must retaliate then ban the supply of basic items as well.

Why retaliate? If someone produces something it is their choice as to whether they should sell it or not. What do you know about free market capitalist? lol

Calling Igbo people who are enterprising like Chinese, Indians, Jews, Americans refugees because they move out of the enclave to Lagos to gather resources is highly ignorant of you.

You sound dumb but I will indulge you. In a free market or capitalist economy, market forces determine prices. That is demand against supply. When you try to remove wholesale of goods, that’s an infringement and disruption of free flow of goods and services. The governor stated that wholesale trade is banned & whoever goes against his authority will have their goods seized and distributed to the people. Is this the choice of the producers/marketers or an imposition by state government? If every state governor should start imposing such laws on goods they have comparative advantage, what sort of country would that be?

In an economy where external supply of these same foodstuffs are banned, trying to place embargo on wholesale supplies locally will lead to severe crises for those at the receiving end.

People indeed perish for lack of knowledge.

Nigerian governors are dumb we know, but this governor takes the biggest prize for being the arrow head.

If the farm produce are not government owned, you have no right to tell anyone where or how to sell his goods.

Retaliate in wat manner? They r not in war front with the south. They need to protect their state first. Infact this is a clarion call, first approach to all region to take before division. MKe sure u can feed urself first.

It's a clarion call for me. Every southern state should sharpen their hoes n cutlass n get back to farm

Major problem with going to farms presently is the general insecurity.

Except for subsistence farming, engaging in farming for transregional supply and export is virtually impossible with the level of insecurity.
