EcoNews:
Is that the only agriculture investment in Nigeria since independence or 1999 or your just a foolish soul with no brain.

Don't be quick to insult people that are smarter and more knowledgeable than you all because you want to defend your looting and incompetent masters.
Which agric investment do you know of that ended up a fraud since 1999 like the ABP?
I hope you'll be quick to answer as you're quick to insult

Nigerians are lazy to farm,they all moved to city

immortalcrown:
Your logic is stupid. Nigerians, unlike the Chinese, lack capital and security.

Excuses will keep you stagnant in life

budaatum:
Nigerians own the land. It is capital. Besides, Government has given farmers loans in the past which the farmers never paid back.

I pity u for believing that that loan got to farmers

You should pity yourself for believing instead of reading the thread to find out and know.

But we both know you quoted buda just so you can say you contributed.

This is you. Where has living in denial taken you to?

mrvitalis:
Which loans? Smh 🤦‍♂ I honestly don't have time to talk about this right now

I have been singing it but well Nigerians don't like truth they want what they want to be truth to be truth

Did you see the statistics where they stated the number of Nigerians with more than 5k in their account and not to talk of the Insecurity bedeviling the country. All of us cannot be a farmers!

Lazy Nigeria Youth always blame s the government.

budaatum:

It is still unseriousness on the part of everybody -farmers, government, e.t.c. There should be a mechanism for recouping such loans and making sure such loans are put to it's right use. Except there is a collusion somewhere.
Nigerians own the land? Maybe not.

Hezzyluv:
I no dey talk about oil alone. Do you know Nigeria still has undiscovered resources hitherto?

China has more natural resources than Nigeria. Its the third largest country in the world

DeLaRue:
I don't think there is any country in the world where able bodied young men sit on socail media all day abusing government for not providing them with cheap education, cheap power, cheap petrol, cheap tomato, cheap garri, cheap yam, cheap pure water - basically, cheap everything.

That 's despite the fact that everything I listed up there is still cheaper in Nigeria today than in any country around us.

- Go and farm. No.
- Ok, grow something, anything, in your backyard. They refuse.
- If you can't get job with your degree, learn work. No way.
- University increases school fee to less than N100,000. All hell breaks loose. But they jump at any opportunity to pay N20m school fee abroad.
- Power nko? Most people don't pay. They steal it.
- Government gives loans for small businesses, farming etc They chop, clean mouth and don't pay back.

On and on it goes.

Is there any government in the world that can develop a country with a people like Nigerians?

I don't think so.

Tell them my friend. Now Mr hunger has visited the land,Nigeria. No one will teach them sense. In the Bible days, when God want to correct men,he withdrew food from them.We are gradually getting there.

What's that sound? Buda? Sounds like dropping into water

Nigerians do own the land. And indeed it is unseriousness on all our part, including the consumer who wants to pay below the price of production.

I mean, how can I plant crops and expect to make profit when the purchaser is crying on my shoulder that minimum wage is 30k? Did I send them? Does fertiliser seller care about minimum wage? Does the person I rent land from care about minimum wage? Does the school I pay my children's fees care about minimum wage? And then when I don't sell to them they will go in my farm and steal it and be telling me its Fulani! So of course I will not plant anymore, let us all starve.

Nigeria's problems are huge, and we have not even begun to understand it not to talk of start finding solutions. But after half of us die off, I am certain those who are left will decide to reset our brains.

Did you see my response to the intelligent Omoluabi16? You'll get a similar one when you deserve it.

Omo, I'm certain you've seen how loan apps collect unpaid debt. Pity we wouldn't like our government to be so ruthless.

Why is it yorubaland that always gives allowance to Chinese to do all sorts of things freely.It always comes from yorubaland, they give this Chinese too much freedom.They shouldn't start shouting in the future that Chinese are taking over their lands.

Chinese and Lebanese are recolonizing Yorubaland

Do you know the Chinese government gives out money in form of capital and loans to its citizens?

How much our govt dey give us for business and development.

Natural resources don't make countries rich

Hezzyluv:
If to sey Chinese dey richly blessed like Nigeria, na only God know wetin dem for don become for this world.

I mean the natural resources we have both the untapped ones including those yet to be discovered.

Hmm

Check it. Those Chinese have personal security in our Country protecting them. Come to Kaduna, I have a very varsed hecters of land for you to plant.

The Chinese will harvest the cassava, load them inside containers and ship to their country. There they will turn it into garri, package it, and export back to Nigeria to sit on shelves in highbrow supermarkets at exorbitant price. And you see Nigerians going to buy them to show status symbol and flair for everything foreign.

What are you doing on social media?
Are you old or disabled?

Sorry, this is a moronic question.

For morons, everything is moronic

mrvitalis:
One of our problem is we have too much farmers

So how come we have lesser food output if this is true?
I would have agreed with you if you said we have too many people doing too little.
That's because the majority of farmers are poor people. The people who have the money are investing in less productive ventures.

Netherland made €50 billion on agricultural export last year alone. I bet we'll doing fine if agriculture is the only thing we're doing and make up to that.
The fact is, most of us don't like agriculture. Food used to be the least of our problems, it's unfortunate how things have turned out to be.

100,000 farmers is enough to farm all the food we need in Nigeria

The issue with farming starts from land ownership... Most land owners are too poor to farm their land... And most people with money have little or no land... Sadly there is not linkage between the two

Travel most places in Nigeria u see bush uncultivated bush not protected forest ooh but just bush... That is the key

mrvitalis:
They have capital Nigerians don't

This is what I have been screaming since government needs to fund Nigerians with cheap Capital

Waiting for the govt to fund a businessman is the first sign of failure. People should think properly, the successful businessmen around were not funded by the govt. These Chinese were also not.funded by their own govt, they took a risk to invest in Nigeria

Government not providing soft credit is the first sign of a failed country

No body would bet on your citizens if you don't

Chinese were funded by Chinese government initially go make your research...all Chinese companies u know are funded by Chinese government

Same with US company, same with German same with Japanese

Did you know how much America subsidies farmers? What are you even talking about
