Chairman of Mile 12 International Perishable Market in Lagos, Alh. Shehu Usman, said: “The reason for rising costs of food items is because most farmers in the North have been chased away from the farms by bandits, and many of them are now in IDP camps.

“The only solution to this problem is for people to return to the farms. If you are not farming and you are not importing food, so, how do you get the food?

The people who are struggling to farm cannot farm because bandits are disturbing them.

“The problem is enormous. The federal government should just make sure it provides enough security for people to continue farming. That is the only solution. The government must find a way of taking farmers away from IDP camps back to their farms.

“As long as farmers are not able to go to the farms, food items will remain expensive.”

In his comment, Chairman of Ile Epo Market, Oke Odo, Alh. Taofik Olorunkemi, said that insecurity is the major issue of the hike in food items because the farmers are not able to go to the farms due to the menace of kidnapping.

“Another reason for the food inflation is the increase in the price of petrol as a result of the removal of fuel subsidy, which has led to an increase in the cost of transportation.

“Also, many of the villagers who normally bring food items to the market no longer come around, because of civilisation. So, we sometimes have to go to the villages ourselves to source for the items,” he stated
These people are not serious.
How can insecurity be our problem after ThiefNuibu alone made Buhari president? What kind of conundrum is that huh

Flashback: How Bola Tinubu spoke highly of Buhari in 2015, named PDP ‘Poverty Development Party

National leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu had during the presidential campaign in 2015, referred to President Muhammadu Buhari as the only solution for the security and economic challenges facing Nigeria.

During a mega presidential rally, the former governor of Lagos State recalled how some powerful nations in the world returned to army generals when they were challenged, saying “Major General Buhari would revive Nigeria’s economy”.

He named the current opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP as the “Poverty Development Party saying they had nothing to offer.

His words at the time were; “Every nation has a period of their own challenges, when America was challenged, they turned to one great man, their ex-military general, General Eisenhower. When the French were challenged, they turned to their general, Charles de Gaulle.

“When Britain was challenged, they turned to their general. Today, Nigeria is economically and physically challenged so we turn to General Muhammadu Buhari. He is the right man for the job. If you talk about military experience, he has it abundantly, he has courage, simplicity, he has it abundantly.

“If you talk about great determination, a combination of vision and ability to perform, honesty and integrity, he has it abundantly.

“I laugh when the incapable government, ‘Poverty Development Party’ PDP were talking. They have nothing again to say, they now want to question the qualifications of General Buhari and look for his certificate”.

Following the manifestos in 2015 which projected the APC presidential candidate as a ‘saviour’, Buhari defeated the then incumbent president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan with Nigerians expecting a total change in security and economy.

If you're an APC member you don't need to worry, your loaded APIECES APC card will pieces the price in the market.
If you're not APIECES member but you support our president, you go collect APCHEAT card to cheat the price.
If you're APIECES MEMBER and also support Tinubu you go get the double combo..... Na una go suffer most.... Keep supporting irrelevant at the detriment of your relevance and existence

I really do NOT know how the average person is fairing in this economy with the skyrocketed food prices. We're no longer living, we're simply surviving.

Adapt and thrive. Mindset of successful people is that instead of complaining, whining and wailing.

Dont blame them, it is just because the situation kept repeating itself and no changes yet. Once there's changes the they would stop repeating it.

This is the crux of the matter which everyone is avoiding. Why can't BAT order the army, DSS, civil defense, etc to confront the bandits and ensure that NIGERIANS in IDP camps are able to go back to their villages and farms? BAT promised to recruit 1Million youths (to be fed with agbado) into the army help fight insecurity. How far?

Importing food or dashing people rice is not a solution.

For those of us who like mushrooms, let me tell you that it is not cheap, even before Tinubu's improverishing economic polices.

“The only solution to this problem is for people to return to the farms.
That can't be solution at all, it has never been the solution. We're agrarian society, large percentage of Nigeria population is into agriculture already. You're now suggesting that the solution is everyone becoming a farmer. What will now happen to other sectors of the economy? What any country need is fewer people in agriculture but highly mechanised with hybrid seeds and animals.

If you are not farming and you are not importing food, so, how do you get the food?

This is the question that government should help us answer.
If you are not farming, that means you have your job which fetches you money and you buy what you eat from the farmers/traders.
All people in the metropolitan cities of Lagos, PH, Ibadan, Kano, Kaduna should go back to farm, right? How is that even possible for the people living where there is no land?
