He can only do it if he means well for this country but in the contrary he cares not as it affects him not.

Very typical, always looking for short cuts.

It is planting season, the rains have started falling.

The hunger in the land has entered an advanced stage, the governments need to act now, before it is too late.

Fulanis with their Cow and Bandits fulanis plus kidnappers and terrorist will not allow people to go to their farms 😞😞😞
May heavy Thunder ⚡⚡⚡ Fire 🔥 🔥 🔥 our useless leaders 🤒

A big nation like Nigeria with vast fertile land shouldn't be in the mess it is in today.

The politicians just want to steal and embezzle money from national budget. Just sad.

If everyone should go back and start farming, food will be abundant and hunger problem will be solved.. PBAT should deploy tactical squad of JTF to Benue, Plateau, Taraba and co. to flush out anti-State actors posing as herders. Let them neutralize each and every one of those murderers hiding in the bushes. Executive order for Military to kill is the way to solve food security challenge at this point in time..

RepoMan007:
I cant imagine the north having the unique advantage of cocoa cultivation and a northerner as president then ignoring that sector.
The man is just there for himself. If he asked for the difference between leadership, governance and politics, I am sure he cant differentiate them.

These are some of the most fundamental issues but the Ogunfe and shaki hin-tellecshuals will lift rubbish 'ideal scenario" textbook nonsense to tell you.

If the useless government is not ready to destroy the Fulani bastards making Nigeria an unsafe and unlivable space, part of which means that local farmers can't meet domestic demand, than the ONLY option is to ALLOW the importation of all and any grains and food. This is common sense

helinues:
And how would the local farmers grow?

We should Import Yams, pepper, tomatoes, beans? Why should foods we are not importing costing ridiculously?

Please don't talk about insecurity in North because it would sound as if the southern people are just disabled to go into farming .

And if it's about dollar rate, when the dollar rate was low, the price of foods never went down .. So that can't be the effects.

Our agriculture productions have been reducing for decades now

Can you tell us the current cost of fertiliser since tinubu took over?

helinues:
What's the % increase in fertilizer cost compared to % increase in food items cost?

helinues:
What's the % increase in fertilizer cost compared to % increase in food items cost?

Mbanda:
A bag of 50kg fertilizer is 50,000 naira currently. And you need 3bags of fertilizer at least if you're farming on a 2 plots of land. Now imagine 150k for the 3 bags of fertiliser plus manual labour which includes, clearing the place for cultivation, cultivation, planting, weeding and the rest. Let's say that every expenses for cultivation amounts to 200k.

Lastly harvest and transportation is another expenses too. After all these you expect food prices to be cheap under tinubu, how possible is that?

helinues:
That's not the question I asked you.

Read the question well this time and do the justification

Mbanda:
The % is about 💯 under tinubu.

helinues:
Pure lies. The war between Russia and Ukraine caused the increase in fertilizer price globally not only Nigeria

Mbanda:
What has the war between Russia and Ukraine got to do with fertilizer prices?

Na only Russia dey manufacture fertiliser?
Import duty in Nigeria and fuel prices, even dollar are all on the high side since tinubu took over. These are the major problems deal with that, not Russia and Ukraine war.

And don't ever sell that kind of lies and propaganda to me again because you know I won't buy it.

helinues:
That's why you need to stay updated about global news.

Russia and Belarus are one of the highest producer of Urea , phosphate and Potash which are the most ingredients to make fertilizers.

The sanctions on both Russia and Belarus regarding the Ukraine war is what caused the high increase in price of fertilizers.
