Kemetian:
So what's your solution?

Keep the high prices?

Then tomorrow you and Peter Obi will complain about "hunger in the land"?

Confused set of people.

Call instead for more incentives or subsidies for farmers, to lower their production costs, NOT return Nigerians to high food prices in the name of 'protecting farmers'. You can't sacrifice the interests of the majority for one group.

This one go just dey open his mouth waaa…
So we the masses should continue paying ridiculous prices, yea?

Or those farmers didn’t do us bad too when they increased food prices before?
Make Una dey play good opposition jhare, it’s not every time he should talk abeg!.

RichDad1:
What a very dummb and unintelligent take.
When the food prices are on the rise, the same Obi and his bandwagon were busy shouting "how much is a bag of rice" but today that the prices have stabilised, he's still finding fault as usual.

sirchim:
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.

The drop of food prices in the market has killed our farmers. It has put them into more poverty.

Worst opposition in the history of Nigeria. Wasnt it just a few days ago that Rufai Oseni called them useless.

Peter obi on the other hand is extremely dull.

loveth360:
It's behind your level of comprehension.



You allowed farmers to use costly tools and materials to farm,at the time of harvest you import cheap fool stuffs from other countries.


What does that mean for the farmers?

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

******* 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".

Trillions of naira that CBN gave to the farmers under Emefiele to help produce food and make it cheaper, what did it achieve?.

Are you bitter people not the ones still begging the Government to open the borders and allow food come in?. Because Gbajue has spoken in his usual ignorant manner, una must support the nonsense he's saying?.

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.

ConDawah:
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.

Putindbutt:
These are the enemies of the country, vultures and hyenas that want to get to power.

When food prices were high, they were using it as a campaign slogan. When the prices are coming down, they are coming out to display their sadness.

The billions of naira Buhari threw at the farmers under the Anchors borrowers , how did it help?, farmers were smiling to the bank, the masses were crying. A new Government came with an alternative to ease inflation but Bitter people are not happy.

Nigeria indeed dodged a missile.

Slytiger:
You went into food business to try and exploit people with wicked profits by hoarding supplies?

tundaz2002:
What exactly does this man want?

MasterTeeUSA:
Pity Obi ships imported goods for a living. When did he started caring for farmers and manufacturers lol? Someone should ask him about his business and importation lol

amaridigital:
Abegi cut the crap and follow a reasonable leader who isn't following the advice of madman. Who is importing garri, beans and tomatoes into Nigeria? These items are also cheap now.
When most farmers were hoarding food to create artificial scarcity in order to inflate prices obi was crying about high food prices.
He's now running out of what to use as campaign tactics.
I thought some people on this forum especially Groundnutarians said that these are propaganda and no reduction in food prices anywhere.
Do we now believe the Groundnutarians who said no reduction in food prices or Obi who said food prices reduction would affect farmers?
