Nigeria used to be among the top 2 in the world with Ondo State having more than 50% of total production. But that's not even my pain, the painful part is the huge production gap between number 1 - - Ivory Coast (2.2m) and number 6 - - Nigeria (280k). This is very shameful and unfortunate. There's this wasted cocoa plantation in Ondo state that has been abandoned for over 30 years. The land mass stretches from Oda town in Akure North down to the boundary of Edo State. I heard it is the largest cocoa plantation in west Africa. But nothing is happening there today except loggers lifting timbers out of that forest. No governor even talks about reviving that plantation.

Expecting government to run successful business is the problem with most Africans

"Government should do business make profit and use it to better our lives "

It has never worked

And for the record I think cross river is the largest cocoa producer in Nigeria, it rotates between cross river, Ondo and Ogun I think

So Ghana Produce more Cocoa than Nigeria times 3 and still no reflect on dere economy....


That means Cocoa isn't enough to boost the reserve....

I referred to the 60s, 70s, 80s, not recently. Ondo does not produce much cocoa again.

...and about the plantation I talked about, it is owned by the state government (since the days of western region). There's no way private investor can do anything there without involving the government. Hope you get my point.

The state government should sell the cocoa plantation

Why won't the gap be wide when cocoa farmers have been chased from their farms by herdsmen?

During gej government. Nigeria was the 2nd in coco production world wide

Things other countries make look so easy to implement…..here in Nigeria we make it look like rocket science! We spend billions holding lots of conferences, and blow plenty turenchi just for the satisfaction of hearing ourselves speak and state the bleeding obvious……and at the end of the day nothing gets done!

Una too lie... haba

All tinubu government needs to do is to plant more cocoa.

Not just cocoa, but wheat n plants for flour , rice ,beans


There r abundance of land.

To be frank.

The notion that government has no business in doing business is lazy, nonsense n flaws ..
In any great economy, governments are the greatest business ppl.

Government must set up these businesses ,run it n make sure they r profitable.

They coined that nonsense phrase to aid them successfully steal government money


Lazy people in government

It's on record even in Buhari 1st tenure

I guess the Buhari ruga and Fulani killer herdsmen caused the decline
