... of course a rag tag Boko Haram existed long ago but do you think late Yussuf's Boko Haram have anything to do with the 2014+ sophisticated Boko Haram ??

The powers that be do this all the time to fool the gullible.

Yes, Boko Haram under Mohammed Yusuf started as a local radical group. But suggesting the group's later sophistication (post-2014) was purely staged by “powers that be” to push a GMO agenda oversimplifies a complex crisis and shifts focus from real, urgent issues.

1. Terrorism in the North isn’t about GMOs — it’s about power, poverty, and failed governance.

The insurgency grew because of poverty, poor governance, ethnic tensions, and weak state institutions, not to push biotech crops. Boko Haram has targeted schools, markets, farms, and infrastructure, causing widespread displacement and hunger. The conflict’s impact on food security is real — but not proof of a GMO conspiracy.

2. GMOs were being developed in Nigeria before the insurgency escalated.
Research on Bt cotton and Bt cowpea began in the 2000s — long before the insurgency intensified in 2014. These were developed by local institutions like the Institute for Agricultural Research (IAR), not Western companies. Claiming terror is used to push GMOs ignores decades of local effort to solve food insecurity through science.

3. If there's a real plan, it’s to weaken Nigeria via food insecurity — but rejecting GMO worsens that.

Over 1.3 million hectares of farmland in the North can’t be used due to insecurity. That's the real danger. GMOs like drought-resistant maize or insect-resistant cowpea are tools that can help rebuild local food production, reduce imports, and cut hunger. Resisting all GMO tech based on fear plays right into the hands of those who benefit from our hunger and dependency.

Yes, Boko Haram evolved — but linking that evolution to a secret GMO agenda ignores real facts and delays solutions. We should focus on restoring security and embracing safe, local innovations that secure Nigeria’s food future — not push fear-based theories.

How the West is Using Killings in Benue to Destroy Nigeria’s Food Supply and Introduce GMO

Deep in the heart of Nigeria lies Benue State, often referred to as the “Food Basket of the Nation.” From yam to cassava, rice to vegetables, Benue has long been the agricultural backbone of the country. But what if the relentless killings in this region weren’t just random acts of violence or farmer-herder clashes? What if they are part of a deliberate, international plot?

Here's the theory:

Step 1: Destabilize the Food Basket
Over the past decade, Benue has witnessed escalating attacks on farmers and rural communities. Entire villages wiped out. Farmlands abandoned. Year after year, the attacks intensify—but strangely, no lasting solution is ever enforced. Why?

Sources suggest that these violent incursions may be orchestrated to systematically wipe out indigenous farming activity, making local food production impossible. If Benue cannot farm, Nigeria will starve—or at least experience severe food shortages.

Step 2: Create a Food Crisis
With Benue in chaos, food prices skyrocket across the nation. Yam becomes gold. Tomatoes become luxury. The masses cry out for relief. The government scrambles. Then—like a well-timed savior—the West steps in.

Western NGOs, biotech corporations, and donor agencies start offering “solutions”:

“We’ll donate seeds.”

“We have high-yield, pest-resistant crops.”

“Our GMO maize and rice can feed 10 times more.”

“We can help you rebuild your agriculture.”

But there's a catch: those seeds are genetically modified, and with them come strings attached.

Step 3: Hook Nigeria on GMOs
Accepting GMO seeds often means:

Dependency on foreign seed companies every planting season.

Loss of native seed sovereignty.

Introduction of patents, where farmers can be sued for saving seeds.

Erosion of local farming knowledge in favor of lab-created agriculture.

Soon, Nigeria becomes hooked on genetically modified food—just like much of the Global South.

Step 4: Control the Food, Control the Nation
If you control a nation’s food supply, you control its people, its policy, and its future. With Nigeria dependent on foreign biotech firms for seeds and food stability, the West gains unprecedented influence over the largest Black nation on earth.

Benue—once the proud heart of Nigeria’s food independence—is turned into a testing ground for lab crops.

Is it coincidence that Benue, of all places, continues to burn while the rest of the world pushes GMO agriculture on Africa? Or is there something deeper—a coordinated economic warfare disguised as humanitarian aid?

Stay woke. Follow the seeds. The truth is buried in the soil.

Step 5:
Use GMO seeds to kill the population off.. most fruits now have high amount of sugar in them which can affect diabetes and jedi jedi.

All thanks to Seun wey dey spend more time on Twitter than him own forum wey dey Fetch am money.....

No one pointed a gun to your head to be here! You saw the topic and still clicked on it

ClearFlair:
When you need to plant and another country gives you conditions before you can get access to seeds then you will understand what is at stake here

The guy was just being consciously stupid.
The U.S refused to sell weapons to fight boko haram during goodluck regime because he refused to do their bidding. Imagine what will happen if we relinquish our food sovereignty to the west and white corporations. They can easily decide whether you live or die.
GMO is a population control weapon and the sooner we realize it the better for all of us in coming together to fight against it.

Our food sovereignty should never be put in the hands of anyone else

jadyclem:
GMOs are banned in most western countries. Read up on it and stop being ignorant. The dangers of GMOs are just too numerous for any sane country to adopt it. They're trying to impose it in Africa because we're the major target. Population control is the agenda and whoever controls your food supply can easily control your health and population.
Make una stop trivializing such important matter because all of us are at risk

You are just a conspiracy theorist. There is no empirical fact to support your argument.

I'm done here.

eepeepook:
I’ve been hearing of the dangers of GMO on Nigerians for the past fourteen years in this forum. I’m still yet to see a homegrown alternative. If you cannot solve the problem, close your mouth and watch the white man fix our condition.

Home grown alternatives to what? Natural seeds? Why do you think we need any alternatives?

Hamachi:
Is that the reason when you finish washing beans before cooking , the beans water 💦 no dey smell like before again?

yes. The beans doesn’t have weavils like in the past too.

…and I’m still yet to see a child or animal starved for a significant length of time reject a fruit/piece of food, claiming it is GMO and not natural.

You people just keep deceiving your self and spreading the false narratives your political leaders wants you to believe so as not to blame them. For every failure in Nigeria they tag the west. It is the west that doesn't want you to develop yet they keep giving you grants of you give them a developmental proposal, how many times have you seen the whites in the areas battling insecurity? Is it not your politicians exploring the opportunities? Is it the west that stopped your governors from constructing roads, schools, hospitals? Is it the wests making policies for your leaders? Is it the west that gave you COVID aids that told our leaders to hoard it and share amongst themselves?Is it the west that told you that Gucci is better than local made products that made our people go into ugly things just to buy their products?Are the wests forcing GMO on you? Since you know the truth about the GMO and the likely outcome,why don't you boycott it and do the right thing? You just sit somewhere and keep digesting what the politicians and their propagandists say. Even if it is the west sponsoring insecurity in your land, have you ever seen them directly connected to the terrorism? Is it not some of the sons of the soil selling their people to them because of their greed?
The fact is, all these things you people accuse the west of, it means you have known the truth,then why don't you take the right path as against the will of the west?
Let's wake up and stop believing the west doesn't want you to grow and hold your leaders accountable.

Well X is better than nairaland, that's why seun spends more time there than his own platform.

Was it the west also that asked dasuki to share the arms allocation amongst themselves?
Why are the other nations not crying the same thing? Did they force these things on you. Is this not an independent nation and a Republic? Why can't our nation make decisions that favor them instead of blaming others for everything. Even the people that imports toothpicks will say it's the west that's forcing them to do that.

Since Nigerian accept GMO white agric fowl, very soon GMO Agric produce will be a thing of the past

Nigerians are not worried about fake drugs that has reduced the life expectancy to just over 50 years.

They are instead worried about GMO that has increased life expectancy to 80 years and up in developed countries

Africa is actually among the last to receive it. They have seedless mangoes, higher yield palm and coconut trees. Almost everything in the USA and most of the west is G.M.O including the broiler chickens, lemon, bananas and long grain rice you've been eating down here since before you were born.

No wonder rice doesn't have the good tastes it used to have when we were growing up.
There's a seed Bank in Alaska. Do you think it's GMO seeds these guys are storing there?
Una go get sense by force.

jadyclem:
Only an ignorant person call every serious discourse that greatly concerns him a conspiracy theory. Oga, you have Internet, Abeg do small research on this GMO thing so you won't keep spreading your ignorance.
The black man is truly its own enemy.

Imagine naive people clamoring to give up their food sovereignty to foreign corporations. Wow!

You don't understand what you talk about. There's bad and unhealthy crops, food and seed everywhere, it's not about GMO. The concept of modification is for better resistance and productivity. Just like we have medical research that keeps improving, same with food modification. Farmers have been modifying food since Bible days, even God had to caution about it.
i have not said you shouldn't be cautious but don't come yapping unprovable conspiracy theory about black man and bill gates. It clearly shows you are misinformed.

eepeepook:

That's not the question I asked.
You talked about an alternative and I asked alternatives to what and why do we need a defective alternative to something natural?

PHIPEX:
This was how your forefathers were sold as slaves, maybe those who warned were called overreacting

Your type is just the type that follow crowd. No personal principle. Have you researched the whole thing? Give an empirical evidence that shows GMO is bad. The funny thing is that you may be the type that smokes and consume harmful substances

If we don't attack this movement with our voice Nigeria will suffer for it later.GMO seeds are evil cz the body doesn't have the enzymes and mechanism to digest the food and there by leaving it to rot slowly in ur system bringing out toxins dangerous to health in you

GMO.

No body knows what these sets of seeds does to our genetic structure. At least not now but surely we're gonna see the effects as far as Bill Gates a medical doctor or is he programmer? Nobody knows is involved with this shit.

The claim that GMOs are a population control weapon is unfounded. Over 70 countries safely use GMOs, backed by 4,000+ scientific studies confirming their safety. GMOs improve food security by increasing yields, reducing pesticide use, and cutting post-harvest losses — especially in countries like Nigeria and India.

In Africa, many GMOs (e.g. Bt cowpea) are developed locally, not by foreign corporations, and regulated by national agencies like Nigeria’s NBMA. Rejecting GMOs risks greater food insecurity and dependence on food imports.

True food sovereignty means choosing the right tools to feed your people — not rejecting innovation out of fear.

You are the only one who has analyzed whats going on in the middle belt correctly! Most Nigerians are busy being tribalistic not knowing that 90% of our problems are actually coming from our western patners!

Lol as u rightly said, Africa is the last to get it. Do ur research, you will know that the entire world have left you behind teytey

Continue fighting GMO seeds, the food you ate this morning sef has a 60% chance of containing GMO farm products.

A country that imports almost everything is claiming GMO seeds are a threat to their health
How sure are u that the roasted maize you ate this morning is not GMO? Or the beans you cooked Last night.

Give them 10% take back 90%
GMO is evil, we should reject it outrightly.

West that their own no go better... they have taken us for granted for too long. They make Africa their backyard and still spits for for our faces whenever and however they want it. BRICS is now their major threat to see Africans on the table of decision making for world security. They carry their useless religion come decieve us. Religion wey dey know say na manipulation mindset. They progress their own science and advance with it. That is why they see the likes of Burkina Faso leader as a major threat to them.
