You are not smart….
You are obviously the ignorant person here …..
Selling and gifting are two different words don’t act like you don’t know…

The situation here is similar to a dying man giving first aid treatment or oxygen to a healthy person
Oga can't you people read ? The UN went there to buy from them and then gave it to Nigeria.....did Ukraine tell you they were not paid? Or because you hate your country they should not collect gifts anymore? Or for your mind this gift is the only grain coming into Nigeria? Have you ever asked yourself where Indomie and co get their grain from? Or the pasta and wheat that you eat where do you think a large supply of them come from? Do Nigerian companies not pay for them ? Or because we received a gift of grain for your mind Nigeria and Nigerians don't have money to import their own grain? Why are you people just always stupid like this?

There's nothing wrong with UN buying from Ukraine but the salient message is
If a war torn country like Ukraine can do so well in agriculture then why not Nigeria.
Tinubu should do more in that area, that's the message.

There are a lot of people interested in doing something like this, how do you combine it with work?

Can you open a thread where you do a sort of mini-lecture?

You are being more emotional than logical.
Unfortunately the realities of life doesn't care about emotions but about logic.

Ukraine has remain among the world largest producers of grain despite the war.
More over it is not coming directly from Ukraine.

Let me ask you a question now: You how much have you contributed to Agriculture in Nigeria.
If you haven't contributed to Agriculture in anyway, you really don't have the bragging right to playdown the country.
While some of you sit and complain many others are seeing opportunities.
I have an exotic farm for exotic meat production( what you call bushmeat)
I am a castor Beans farmer.
I am a great lover of groundnut, from the raw, to the fried to best of all the groundnut soup, finding out how expensive groundnut has become, I am going into the cultivation of ground nut farm, already in the research stage to get the best yielding seeds.... I will be reducing the scarcity and also making money, I sale castor oil and also export.

Aside from complaining what have you done to add something to the economy sir.
Mind you I am still a staff in another in another company....
As grains no dey you don plant one seed?
I have a friend who has so far planted 1000 coconuts, he has started harvesting, he wants to increase his stands to 2000 and more, he is looking at exportation, something to bring in FX. What are you doing aside complaining.
I have not bought foreign rice in the last couple of years, my rice plantation is just a few acres which I donate to the widows in my village but I have not bought foreign rice, can you swear that you haven't eaten foreign rice in the last two days?

The medical system is the system which takes care of the health of at least 90% of the people of the country or let us say, the system which takes care of the average earning and the poor. That is where you don't get it. You keep confusing it with the system which takes care of the rich.

As for my travels: I've been to Germany, Norway, ivory coast, Benin republic, and I reside in France.

I am still waiting for your proof of the un giving medical aid to the USA.
Oga you're an idiot I swear, so for your mind the system is split in two one for the poor one for the rich🤣🤣🤣.......that's why when they said people should come for their vaccine they asked the rich to come first....it seems you are projecting your insecurities on the US health system cause if you have money no one is asking you not to go to private hospital that are to your taste, that doesn't mean others won't get the same treatment as you.....I know a friend who had a kidney operation in Bellevue a private hospital in New york....his bill was 15k $ but 13k got covered by Obamacare could he have paid the money? sure but why stress when there's a social net available to everybody......it was while visiting him I got cornered by the nurses to take a course on drug use, signs to watch out for if a person is using certain drugs and what to do if they have an overdose.....this was in 2013.....the program was supported by the UN and WHO in partnership with one NGO...i don't have to prove anything to you I have experienced it 🤣🤣🤣......

4. The same UN and other parties provided substantial assistance to Anambra State after the devastating 2012 flooding - so I’m sure you, Mr Peter Obi, know what “humanitarian intervention” means. You were the Governor of Anambra then.


Obi even received assistance from UN when he was the Governor of Anambra. I said it that Obi and his followers are fake and gullible....

Iykopee:
Again, shifting the blame to past administration is subtle criminality. In your obvious asinine postulation, you should equally shift the blame to colonial masters too.

The same Tinubu you want me to believe is not responsible for the mess in the economy was fully supporting those criminals that ruined the system. He is an accomplice either by the hook or the crook. Now he is in charge everything got worse through clownish macro-economic policies. And worst off, he can't be seen having a convo with Nigerians on the way forward as the dumb illiterate he is.

Whether Ghana borrowed money from anywhere isn't Nigeria's business. Nigeria has been borrowing money from IMF and from dead pensioners, how is that Ghana's fault? Making disjointed analogy whenever your oaf of a god is called out. Such a shame you are relying on Ukraine for food aid. Big for nothing.

Go and think out of the box and put your dead brain cells to work. Begging for food from countries in the west is not a trait associated with Nigeria. It is your Tinubu with his madness that is responsible for it.


Heck, he is already planning to share rice and beans again to the people. What a clueless daft buffoon.

Are you talking about the same America we all know?

The same manufacturing and development giant with multi diversified economy, a country which is an export giant with many many many sources of revenue..

Are you seriously comparing them to us? A country which has "only oil"?

Is agric not our easiest route to have something else other than oil?

Comparing us to America? Seriously?

But That question is irrelevant to the discuss.

We are the ones in dire need of an alternative to oil production not America.

Thank you Tolu. May God bless you for setting the records straight.
I particularly love your reference to his mediocre record of public service as Anambra state Governor. That's a recurring lesson to anyone who is today a political office holder that once you have a plan in the future for a higher office, serve the people excellently today so that you will not be labouring in vain on the social media in the future.

May God bless Nigeria for ever!,Check my signature for free stuffs!
I weep for who go put you for house as husband and also you children.. it will be a shame to come out through you I must say. And that will be with them for life.. Shame Shame Parternal regret..

Like Peter, like his followers.

The war that didn’t stop Ukraine from selling grains, which is one of its largest export won’t stop them from making donations to the UN.

Perhaps we shouldn’t take donations from the UN because Gringory Linus Obi lost an election and still want to pander to his mob.

By the way, you should go check on your fellow Obidients on twitter who have been having a field day exposing themselves as service-for-hire ‘patriots’.

Do not get it twisted, the aid to flood ravaged states were not donated by a country at war with another country but United Nations- an international organization. This present aid to North-East Nigeria we are referring was donated by Ukraine under the auspices (with the help and support), logistics, distribution and supervision wise of the United Nations!

What ignorance? Is it Ukraine that has good leadership, one of the most corrupt and also one of the poorest in Europe before the war.

In 1991, Ukraine and Poland had about the same per capita income. Just before the war, Poland was 5 times richer! Up to 2million Ukrainians' worked in Poland by 2020. Don't come preaching to me about Ukraine.

When there was war in Ivory Coast, was the country not still exporting cocoa?

Has Tinubu messed up? Big time Yes! That is the issue. That is the point.

What was the problem in the first place? The problem is a loose monetary policy was being applied and that was why the Naira was experiencing a free fall and inflation galloping. The CBN was printing money for the government and it also kept interest rates too low which encourages spending rather savings.

Until interests rates are increased, the excess printing stopped and more forex sold to the BDCs, things wont settle down.

I appreciate the fact you decide to go calm this time ! We can actually make our point without insult and attack .
Corruption is an international menace not limited to Nigeria but the effort our system/Government puts in limiting it is disastrous. During the Ivory coast war there was export but how will you feel if they were exporting it as Aids to China? Or better still Nigeria?

If not for leadership problem why will a war tone country be rescuing us with grains ! Algeria is the second largest grain import in Africa but no country care to give them grain for free because they have a stable economic and more better leaders.

Politics aside ! Tinubu did not have proper understanding of what will be facing him after the election! Aside the interior sector there is basically no other sector that have experience growth since he came on board . You will not understand what we have been drag into until you probably meet people that have lost their source of income because of Tinubu policy.
