And you think you are making sense? Continue!

Nigerian politicians makes me believe there can't be a God

No God and watch this wickedness and do nothing

This mpama is talking about his green house? Sack farming?

60% percent of those complaining about food live in flats or face me in face you...

helinues:
Any sense in wailing, crying profusely all the time?

I once started a thread here stating that everyone should plant a crop or two to eat in their compounds, and I received a lot of abuse.

It was colonial rule that changed our mindset and habits, and brought about 'hunger'.

Before colonial invasion, every family planted something either in front of their house or at the back, or at a farm somewhere.

The average household had a barn of yams stocked at the back.

MARKET was just were they went to buy additional stuff to add to their cuisine, eg spices or meat.

This whole idea that you must depend on the MARKET for ALL your food needs is UN-AFRICAN.

The whites came and taught you nonsense, but if you go to England today, the richest people live in the suburbs or rural areas in houses with barns and grow their own food, and even their own wine!

It is the regular folks and poor people in the cities who shop in supermarkets and markets!

SO THEY CAME HERE AND DESTROYED OUR WAY OF LIFE, DEMONISED IT, AND THEN COPIED IT FOR THEIR ELITE.

Today you see going to Shoprite as the ultimate, while frowning at being asked to grow your own food.

Ridiculous.

Wakey wakey!

ambale:
So every family owns a building by your analogy??

Na fools like you dey feed the president with too much rubbish

So everyone should dump their careers and face farming right?

Farm on the roads too, even inside gutter

The Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, has said that if not for President Bola Tinubu, Nigeria would have been a failed country.

Umahi, who stated this while reacting to the outcome of the local government election, he described as peaceful and successful, also warned any Igbo person or Nigeria planning to protest against the administration to be mischievous.

He also advised Nigerians to change their level and hour of productivity to improve their standard of living.

“Protest has never favoured an Igbo man. Igbo man needs to be busy twenty-four hours. You do not get involved in something that you do not know anything about. By the way, what are people protesting about? Without the coming of President Tinubu, we would have had a failed country.

“The job is cheap when you are not the one doing it. When people say there is hunger, tell us the solution to hunger. It is not just to be talking, talking and talking. I was going around talking to my private workers.

“I say yes, you are doing this and you are being paid seventy thousand naira, but I said with this seventy thousand, you cannot marry a wife with it, you cannot send your children to school with it, so you need something extra to do. And this place you are working, you are not doing more than three hours of work in a day, which means the effort and productivity in this country are very low.

“There is no way we can improve our standard of living if we do not improve on our productivity and hours we put in. Look at the Chinese, we should be able to tell ourselves the basic truth. When I was Governor when Saturday and Sunday were coming, I was always very angry. If the rain should start falling so that agriculture can prevail, I will be happy.

“I can remember when I was in the private sector, I was pushing for more productivity hours. One day there was rain falling and that worker was late now, from Isu, he said rain is falling he said yes what do I want him to do; he was very happy, but the person that was paying was in pain when the work was not being done, but the person that is working is happy that he is collecting money.

“Today, we can grow yam in bags, we can grow tomatoes, we can grow pepper. Sometimes, I feel like coming back home because of my greenhouse. If you go there, I cultivate a lot of yams. Now, I want to start growing rice in bags. Everybody has something to do. We should not as a people be buying pepper. We should not be buying tomatoes. We should be able to get bags and fill them with manure and plant these things in front of our houses.

“So, I am advocating, when we say we are protesting, when we say there is hunger, it is the responsibility of everybody. No matter how much the federal government injects into the system and palliatives, we must change our working hours. We must change our level of productivity because if we have all the working tools and you do not deploy them, there will be no result.

“I support what the President is doing. The CNG buses, a lot of palliatives, trade monies, monies to the vulnerable families, agricultural inputs, giving out rice and fertilisers to our farmers, to indigent women and men. These are very important. But we must be committed and faithful to it.

“We must change the narratives. The government cannot do everything for you, but you have to leverage the magnanimity of Mr President to change the course of things. This is my position. When people say they want to protest, they are just being mischievous”, he stated.

Kemetian:
What he's saying is that if the millions of Nigerians who DO HAVE such space, utilize it, it would crash the price of food dramatically, since it is scarcity that leads to high prices.

He's not saying everyone should cultivate.

Try and understand before criticising.
