Then you must be unintelligent enough to know that currency devaluation and lack of capacity to produce enough is what's driving up food prices.....the same govt that was in power when rice was 12k....go and check how much that govt met the price of same rice.
Who is responsible for the currency devaluation and lack of capacity you alluded zombie?
A government met dollar at 500 and now it's 1600, so whether it's directly of indirectly the government is still responsible and totally accountable. I hope you can see, you are the unintelligent and daft one here and not the person you quoted.

Yes it's in Lagos but outskirt of it. It's considered a border. You could buy a bag of rice there 70k while in Lagos, that same bag might cost 110k.

You might pass 2ru 5custom check point before you enter Lagos. I don't know for now sha.
Ok, thank you 👍

Unfortunately, even me, I don't understand why price of foodstuffs refused to crash during the anticipated harvest season

Soon and very soon propaganda government. 180 days from now is july 7. By then, some farm produce from farmers should be ready for harvest at least.

The APC, as gimmick they are leverage on that as they did las year t to deceive the populace that they are working in term of food prices drop.

He should have just said 230 days from now. tongue

This is not true at all. Prices of grains have dropped significantly when you compare September 2024 to Jan 2025


Commodity Sep-24 Jan-25
Iron Beans 180,000.00 105,000.00
Maize 130,000.00 65,000.00
Guinea Corn 125,000.00 62,000.00

Exactly

How much is fertilizer and then the gas thing.
E go tey for food to prices to drop as how weak the currency follow join matter.

They people that make ridges for planting charge a premium now for a small piece of land. Imagine how much a tractor owner would charge couple with thieves waiting to harvest before the owner. grin

Re: 180 Days After Agric Minister’s Promise, Nigerians See No Drop In Food Prices by mauchiz: 10:09am On Jan 08, 2025
Federal government would have mandated state government to start farming.
They should use the grain they give to farmers, so they can monitor the progress.
Or federal government would have brought a company to do farming for them across the States with safe security.
If federal government have big farm in most states, they will be the ones to determine the amount food can be sold and can bring down the cost of food.
Federal government does not have rice mill, cassava mill, corn mill.
Nigeria government should take responsibility of farming and stop looking for farmers that doesn't exist in Nigeria.

You must be very daft to be quoting things out of context just to divert blame from your God Tilumbu. When the minister appointed by Tilumbu was making the promise, he didn't know that state government owned the land then abi?
If your attempt is to shift the blame to state government, what then is his function as minister of agriculture? It means he should not even have any office in the first place if we are to go by your logic since you are absolving the federal government of any blame. Mumu zombified human being.
I understand your type and the way you reason. Ignorance is a bliss but I will get you educated.

Federal Ministry of Agriculture just provides directions and policies for the State Ministry of Agriculture to align with., provides support for local farmers, provide grants and loan to the states, provides regulations and enforcement and engages with stakeholders.

The actual implementation is done by the State Ministry of Agriculture. The Federal Ministry of Agriculture simply collaborates with the States who own the land.

So, can you see how silly you are for calling your lineage ”daft”. When you were advised to take your schooling serious and you refused, it was to prevent this disgraceful contribution you just made in an open platform😄.

Sit this discourse out, it is beyond you.

In Nigeria, it will not work, the farmers sell both grains and produce, is either they export it to the nearest country or they hoard.
Federal government should try another method this year, they should leave Nigeria farmers, they are looking for there pockets.
DO they acciunt for what they give them?
It has not worked, they should try another strategy to improve the lives of Nigerians.
You cant be doing the same thing every year and get different results, they should try another method, they can invite Isreal or other countries that are good in farming.

[quote author=mauchiz post=133628751][/quote]I love your insight but the Federal Government cannot change the Ministries mandate. Pressure needs to be mounted on the state governors to stop giving fertilisers and seedlings given to them free by the federal ministry of agriculture to non farmers, to protect the farm lands in their respective states instead of selling to real estates .

Some individuals are saying Nigeria should be importing foods. Shame. Importing foods which will put pressure on naira against the dollars again. Country with over 250 million people can’t provide food for themselves but want to rely on other countries which have a robust plan for their own agriculture.

Nigerians will learn.

A dimwit like yourself should know what pushed the dollar up to 1,600....it's called devaluation and the naira has been loosing value since you were even born.

Tinubu only stopped subsidising the dollar because it was costing the country so much.....and you then use it to go import useless things like wigs, champagne and whisky .....if any one wants dollar let them pay the real value.

Rice is majorly imported as we aren't self sufficient despite it being our staple,this would be affected by the high dollar.....do you then expect tinubu to go farm rice for you so you stop importing when the FG has no land and all land belongs to the states..... accept my symphaties for having limited intellectual capacity to fathom logic.

Hold your Governors responsible for some actions.
The Governors collect monthly allocations and own the lands. Stop focusing on the FG to solve all your problems.
Stop prevaricating!
If that were the case,then the agric minister should never have made that disingenuous statement!
He should have partnered with the governors to ensure his 180 day ultimatum was achieved!

Are you saying that Nigerians held their governors at the jugular when rice was sold for 12k (50kg)? We've always had the same "useless" governors, so what changed? The fraudster you love to protect and make excuses for.
12 k was expensive then too
Why do you vote useless governors over and over and over and over again?

I still don't get how someone will be proud of his ignorance and lack of logical reasoning like this.
Even in your own submission, you have contradicted yourself. You mentioned federal ministry of agric set out policies, now if you the so called policy is not working as seen in the inflated food price all over the country , should we be blaming your teacher in school or the person that set out the not working policy.
One thing is crystal clear since I started engaging zombies, it's impossible to support APC and still have your brain intact, they are mutually exclusive events that cannot match.

Minimum wage has always been higher than the price of a 50kg bag of rice until BAT happened. Think about it.

The federal minister of agriculture made the announcement not the states. Why are you holding states for promise made by a federal minister?

Tell Tinubu to kuku shut down the ministry of agric instead of the livestock he added to it

Last I checked it was Tinubu's policies of naira devaluation and subsidy removal that jacked up food prices so why calling states into the matter?

You wrote rubbish. There's nothing like this.
Are you implying it is the state ministries that are to implement the duty free import of food the minister announced?
The ministry of agric had its own agric programs such as ATASP, FADAMA farming etc and they have nothing to do with states.
You're the ignorant yet bullish one here
