yea..

we will tar bad roads ourself.
produce our own power station.
refine our own fuel.
manufacture our own rifles for self defense against terrorists.

government should just collect big pay check and keep flexing

welldone
Have you tarred bad road before?

If you're industrialist, you should generate your own power to avoid high Tariffs, power isn't cheap anywhere?

Have you refined your own fuel, before?

Security is a collective effort, if you don't play your own part, you'll expose yourself to insecurity.

That's great, your money is being used to better your life-School/education,

Hospital/health, good roads and transport sector ,your import dependent lifestyle!

Tinubu himself is not gaining weight as well as Remi. That speaks volumes about the state of the economy of the Nation.

Continue depending on Northerners cow as there are no grazing land in the whole southern region.

Educated for nothing Southerners
Pastorialist (fulanis) are 95 percent owners of cattles in Nigeria, what do you think the southerners can do about that figure?

In the west there is high rate of tsetse fly not good for animals wellbeing.

The west has alot of grass but won't meet dry matter requirement, they must add concentrates which the north has most of its raw materials.

The southerners are not good with animal husbandry as many of them are chasing books and not farm .

God bless you — you just spoke my mind. Last week, I travelled from Lagos to Iganna, a town in Oyo State. The stretch of land from Abeokuta to Iganna was massive, yet it's just lying there, not being put to any meaningful agricultural use
Bros I know people that have farms around that stretch you mentioned, not far from Lalate. They abandoned due to insecurity of kidnapping and herdsmen. You can verify or investigate. grin grin grin grin grin grin

you think it is with hand you cultivate or utilize such expanse of land?

what is the government doing about the machineries?
tractors, harvesters and other mechanized farming tools?

its deeper than you think.

dont be in a hurry to blame the poor citizens.

can the government even provide security for the crops/cattle for that large expanse of area you mentioned?
abi is it the poor farmer that will cater for his security.

hold your government ooo
you have a valid point

For those asking why transporting cattle to the southern part of Nigeria is very expensive, here are the key factors to consider:

1. Number of Cattle per Truck/Trailer: The cost depends on how many cattle the truck or trailer can carry. Fewer animals mean higher transport costs per head.

2. Revenue and Levies: There are multiple government and local government levies collected along the way, which increase the total expenses.

3. Animal Caretakers (Dan Wajus): Someone must be assigned to travel with the animals to feed, water, and care for them throughout the journey. These caretakers, known as Dan Waju in Hausa, are also paid for their service.

4. Checkpoint Challenges: There are many checkpoints along the road, and each one can come with delays, demands, or informal payments, which contribute to the overall cost.

5. Risk Factors: The journey comes with risks such as accidents, theft, animal injuries, or even death, which transporters must factor into their pricing.
