Can Yoruba Leaders & Obas Mobilize Youths For Agriculture? by wowcatty(op): 6:14am On Jul 25, 2025
Now that funds will be made available for agriculture by the Fg, can the Obas help their communities with growing food and jobs with the money meant for states? Or is it the most difficult thing to lobby the governor and then let the communities know the govt’s response? Just know that land will be allocated from states and you must position your youths to have them rather than watch them go to strangers and then cry wolf. Get your youths ready to take every land available NOW! If by next year I start hearing how all the lands in Yorubaland are going to non Yoruba in the name of agriculture, haayaayaah! We will not only insult any Oba that agricultural land and funds in his domain went to foreigners, we will drag him from platforms to platforms and fi eyin tu gbogbo irun oko e ni gbangba.

2 ,000 tractors plus 8,000 farming equipments was commissioned by president Tinubu just some weeks ago.

The government has been doing their best in improving foods and security in the country.

It has been distributed across states. Go and hold your state governor responsible

Yes, president Tinubu is doing a fantastic job, the governors are the ones lagging behind.
Obas too must pull every stop to get their youths in workshops now to get every job.

I did a small research and found out that foreigners are more than Yoruba in every worksite especially construction in Yorubaland. In foodstuff markets it’s about 50/50. In most other areas we’re nonexistent. What are the purpose of the Obas if their towns are being taking over naira by naira? Forget about big businesses, the bottom scrap naira is the real tsunami that makes or breaks communities. If your little N200 goes daily outside your community, it will build another community. Your money must circulate 3 times within your community before heading out if you don’t want to remain poor. In a nutshell, buy your food, drinks, clothes and sew from fellow Yoruba. Hire 99% of your own first like how all free-born people across the world do. Let us show that we’re not slaves.

I have been saying this. Government should provide lands and machines, make agriculture lucrative. Many youths will be actively involved.

Can’t you see how you cry over what is done and what is not done by this administration?
Good people are happy when there’s a positive news.

2,000 tractors go a long way at around 55 for every state and like 2 for each local govt. People can rent it for a small fee for 1 hour to plow fields for planting that can change food story in Nigeria, but unfortunately most of you are unserious people who would steal if you get the opportunity.

When the herdsmen come visiting it's your tractors that will fight for the farmers.
Continue deceiving yourself.

Lazy one, tractor is a good starting point, the farmers know what to do if they want a fighting chance.
