The farmers should be supported by the government through subvention so that the price of foodstuffs will be low for the masses.
Thank you so much Mr PETER OBI for showing concern and empathy for farmers. You always balance your views and opinions to favor all.

Nigerians are eagerly waiting for PETER OBI to become our president in 2027

This Obi is becoming a talkative
That's how Kanu started.

They can't allow camera or Mic pass their front without talking. The game of silence is strange to them

What is he saying? Killed our farmers? How?

Is gari imported?
Is beans imported?
Is yam imported?
Is Palm oil imported?

Must you talk and comment negatively on everything positive?

I regret voting for this man in the last election.

So confused!!!

The APC thinks this is 1960. The days of propaganda and lies. grin cheesy. This is the nonesense they have been sharing since yesterday or so

Anyways, Anyone that can show me in the video where he said we must ensure high food prices. Anyone that can show me where he said that, I'll give him 100K today today

Your time starts NOW!

If you understand what he meant you are smart. Many of us stored many bags of grains, hoping to sell and make our profits. But today, it has crashed putting many of us into debts. As I am typing this, my bro is in a debt of #54M. OBI is RIGHT, our business is being frustrated by the government, that made food stuffs gone so high, due to bad economy. And today, it has crashed, such that it has put many of us into debts.

Making farmers to be poor,Is that the solution?


Reasonable government will help the farmers to make food cheaper.


Many ways to achieve that.
Making the farmers rich at the expense of the whole I believe is a better alternative to you.

JuanDeDios:
******* It will. People are already gnashing their teeth. Some farmers have debt. The other day, someone sold his cassava farm for opueke price to herdesmen to feed their cattle.

But Nigerians don't care. They're not interested. Government no send. In a couple of years when high prices come around again, they will wail and cry endlessly about "greedy farmers" and "meedle men".
There's no way any country will experience high food prices for two consecutive years. It's basic economics.
What we're witnessing in general low price of agricultural produce is in direct response to scarcity witnessed in the previous year. We just need to ensure the surplus don't go to waste, and not create artificial scarcity to please the farmers. Most of us are also farmers in our own right.
God forbid this charlatan finds his way to our national life, never.

This is called hoarding Sir. It is a selfish motive.

Aside from the fear of corruption and mass embezzlement, this is why one party state is great. Because somebody should tell me what he is suggesting, I seriously thought he will weigh in on bandit killing people in the rural areas…

I still dey find something that will make believe anything politicians say on their way to power..

Macphenson:
That headline is misleading. Listen to Peter Obi and understand that the Person that wrote the headline is mischievous.

Peter Obi was mak8ng reference to basic foods being imported, which have automatically killed farming. Manufacturing houses have been turned to warehouses of imported foods which is not a good one for the country.
In line with his consistent slogan, he said he would move the country from consumption to Production. Now we are importing basic foods we should plant that simply means we have killed farming and farmer's business in Nigeria.

Of course it will come with serious consequences.

People up there can't comprehend. They don't even have data to listen to Peter Obi.
We also manufacture most of the things obi is importing for sale at Next. How about that?
