MrSly:
You don't need to convince me. Deal with your believe as I deal with mine. God exists.

MrSly:
You don't know the mind of God. So you don't have to speak for him. The problem of Nigeria is bad leadership, it is people's oriented not divinely orchestrated. God is not in the habit of doing for men what men can ordinarily do for themselves. So God knows Nigeria but we inflict hardship with bad and inefficient leadership manured by tribal and religious fanatism.

budaatum:
Its like the Gods have decided to add to the hunger.

Is it because we are a sinful nation I wonder.

lereinter:
Just asking, how do arabian countries or foreign countries that have very scanty rain feed?

For learning purposes

Esude007:
There's drought presently in some states in Nigeria, many farmers are crying because of the seizure of the rain which is affecting their crops.

As a farmer, how are you coping and which measures have you taken?

Saintinoo:
August break since April? Most of you will just open your month wide and talk on something you know nothing about. Those crops you see there have not seen good rain fall since April/May.

Why didn't farmer complain for many years and just this year. You think the farmer will be affected more? Na you weh go buy their crops for market go suffer am. A bag of rice at 150k loading.

Nigerian farmers depend mainly on nature to farm, yet they sell at expensive rates like they use some expensive technology.

No matter what any government does to fix the economy if they don't add price regulation policy , Nigerians will still rubbish their work

Redman44:
Hmn. We should not exploit each other due to this period of rain not falling. Farmers should consider the suffering masses. Some crops like Sorghum, Millet and Cassava do not need too much inputs or fertilizers. And they also do well during droughts. So, why are they expensive in the markets? Why?

rainmoredays:
It's not funny o. All my vegetables are suffering.
.
Corn, beans, potatoes all looking really weak.

Saintinoo:
How many hectares of rice, beans, corn, yam, soyabeans, does your area farm?

All the times/years that u don't make losses, does it reflect in the price(s).

Everyone will look for excuses for their greed

Saintinoo:
Sir, you have to understand how these things work. I swear, farmers are not the problem of high cost of food, merchants are. Come to the North, farmers sell their crops at a very cheap rate to these merchants, they(merchants) store these crops , create artificial scarcity and sell at a high cost.

Kwara state today

PlsStayAlive:
it has been raining here every single day for the last 15 days o, my beans is bending sef. May HE shower you with grace too.

Arostar2023:
It's actually people that want the price of agricultural produce to be controlled by government are the greedy and selfish ones. Your government doesn't support farmers, a farmer risks his life, savings and peace of mind to farm and you want to dictate to him how to dispose of his produce ... like I said earlier, go and farm first before you start criticising farmers. You should be grateful that you are even seeing commodities to buy.

And by the way, when there's abundant harvest it naturally reflects on the market... market forces. In that case, a farmer has no choice but to dispose of his produce at the "right price". The problem we are having is due to insecurity and gross mismanagement by your government.

Saintinoo:
Many Nigerians especially those in the South do not know what is really happening, truth is that food inflation will increase by more than 300 percentage next year. Almost 50 percentage of crops in the agricultural areas of North are dying due to the lack of rainfall.

Nigerians should brace up. Even importation of food cannot change the impending hunger.

Saintinoo:
It's like you have never been to farm before. What should a rice farmer do with the warning? Stop farming?

Rice needs steady rain of 3 months, and then there is no rain, so farmers should not farm?

rainmoredays:
Oga calm down,
.
As farmers, we know about August break. But this particular one don pass August break.
.
The last time it rained in Ogun state was June 25th. Confirm if you have anyone residing in Ogun.
.
So I ask, is this August break too. No rain in July as a whole, I mean fucking July. This is August 10. No rain still.

recklesslove:
I wonder why we are silent about this drought. May God have mercy on Nigeria. It's not funny. Pls let's pray.

Ikaeniyan0:
How will importation not solve it?

MIKOLOWISKA:
Where had price regulation worked
You haven't learnt from Murtala, fuel scarcity and foreign exchange debacle
You now stupidly want to extend the foolishness to food?
Do you think before typing
Do you not realize correlation between price demand and supply. You cannot touch one without affecting the others
