Once they strike, Govt should call out the Army and police drivers to take over the trucks and drive them.

Isn't it in this same country that president buhari spent billions of dollar to build rail line between the north and niger republic in order to transport food items from the north to niger republic instead of going to the south south. Why couldn't the custom stop the project for the fear of food insecurity? you won't be surprise the projects was funded from the south excess crude money. That's not marginalization but victimization of the said Nigerians which wasn't even for the profits but to keep more Nigerians hungry everyday. Farmers won't plan to cultivate more but rather wait for unrestlessness to take advantage of even though it is government money the farmers are using to cultivate.

I support this move.
Anything necessary is needed to flood our markets with affordable food because Nigerians are hungry

where will the "affordable food" come from that will flood the market?

after the market has been flooded with "affordable food", will the food still be affordable?

the food that is presently in the market, what type of food was it before it flooded the market?

meanwhile, how come the government is chasing after trucks going to sell food in neighbouring countries and yet the government is not doing anything to stop bandits from harassing farmers?

https://www.nairaland.com/8021894/farmers-northern-nigeria-pay-bandits#128801860

is it today that farmers started selling their produce to neighbouring countries?

after arresting these trucks, what will happen to the food seized?

Angelfrost:
Cosmetic approach as usual...!

Why not sit down and meet with these people?

Find out what is making them divert food that is barely sufficient to feed their nation to sell in other neighboring countries.


Is it a lack of competition (Monopoly), or is it lesser purchasing power within or among Nigerians?!!

Must everything be gra gra and fire brigade?!!


Sigh... What a mess!

APC, clap for yourselves.

You keep fooling yourselves...... I am not a apc or tinibu supporter..... But if you can't see the proxy war the northerners are wagin on nigeria..... Then you will never ever get sense....these are the ones been caught.... As an Independent contractor, the numbers gets across the border is mind boggling..... Southern Nigeria will continue to suffer from throat gutting inflation if a major turnaround to sustainable farming isn't engaged.....

Intercepted communications has shown consistent line of conversations..... If the south won't stand up enmass against the current regime.... Then let them source their food somewhere else.... There is a silent agreement between elites up north on this front....

I am not s supporter of this regime neither of the party.... My work is to validate narratives from hear say to facts... Via professional means and present to authorities

Number of silos for storing produce used by manufacturers up north.... Outstrips those in the south 10:1.... Majority of the future contracts agreement between associations and manufacturers to lock in price in time of distress have been voided so far.... Therefore the raw materials flow have been cut off.... Bordering states in the north are not cooperating with presidential directives.... It will amaze you some smuggling routes controlled by bandits and terrorists groups are been used.... This proves a silent agreement between some officials in power and them....

Our findings is not to you the public but the authorities we deal with..... Sometimes majority of narratives pushed by day to day citizens are majority of the times not correct

Well, if Nigerians say they are starving, the Nigeria government has the right to requisition food for Nigerians that Nigeria farmers or traders are intending for trade with foreign nations.

In an environment of food emergency, the Nigeria government has the right to place the ever gaping mouths and rumbling stomachs of Nigerians before trading cereals with other nations. Towards, this end government may mandate as illegal the trading of farm produce outside Nigeria. Consequently, traders ferrying produce for trade abroad may be considered smugglers.

The stupid order was: FG ordered 250,000 MT of grains to be released from National reserves. Stupid people lying with straight face. Where's the national reserve? We have nothing in storage for a time like this.

Opposition governors and lawmakers are to blame here. They should ask for details and location of the storage facilities and what they actually contain, if they truly exist.
