I've watched a movie on mbc2 with cannon (the old big gun) the film is certain its from the 90s, I cant remember its name, but I need it badly.

The movie shows army/people with no uniform transporting the equipment from far distance to another town to battle.

I think through desert, may be

Chinese and other nationals are trooping down to Nigeria while Nigerians in their blind state of mind are japaing.
The opportunities in Nigeria is ernamous, but unfortunately, only few can see them.

See the way Chinese dey toop in ehn
It's like they want to cover the ground that Indians , Lebanese and Pakistanis have covered in one day
They don buy the whole stretch of Lagos Ibadan expressway from Shagamu to Ibadan finish
The largest ShopRite store is now to be taken over by Sinomart , they not just got the large ShopRite but drove away adjoining businesses to create a very large Mart to open soon before this year end

I am also thinking of starting a plantain plantation in Abia state some day.

The market is inexhaustible especially in the east where people buy a lot of roasted plaintan and yam in that part of the world.

Nigeria is actually a land of opportunities and the major snag we have is the lack of govt incentives to help the young who are interested in this business.

I don't want to discourage you,but my opinion is that plantain is too common to plant.

You are trying.

Nigerian youths, the Kenyans are begining to take our jabs! Let's chase them out.

Who's we?

Nigeria is too large enough.

Plantain is not common o. It is always a good crop to plant and a bunch of plantain costs good money ( 5k to 8k ). Plantain is not also troubled by pests and leaf borers or other insects. It can also grow on different types of soil. Cheers

I don't the think it is common.

It is vice versa as well . Nigerian are also thriving very well in their country. If he had done this enterprises in his country he would have not succeed at all. Ounce you sojourn outside your country the motive at the back of your mind is I am going to make it. There are several of them scattered all over Nigerian that have made it They are all silent achievers. They don't make noise like us

You too can learn from.it and go into farming. I have mine

You didn't get it anyways I have what I do every body must not be a farmer

Yet the average Nigerian doesn't see how blessed our country is

There's nothing strange about this..... Nigerians are doing the same across the world. He's doing what he loves to do and thank God, it's paying off for him. Bottom line, there're over a million Nigerian formers in the country producing what everyone eats all year round.....these are not imported.

U don't know how demanding it is in Nigeria and the funny part is that, its supply is low relative to demand.

I am talking facts here.

The demand is not high but encouraging. This is due to lifestyle changes, avoidance of diabetes and weight loss programs.

The present supply can take care of these, all thanks to resistant plantain species. Unfortunately, price barrier is something else.

Well,I don't need to argue with u. May be because of the town u are living. In Abuja, a roasted plantain is 2k in Wuse area and people are rushing it.

In umuahia where I come from,it is high too.
Very high honestly. I went to a market in Umuosu around Ngwa and I was shocked to see one bunch of plantain costing about about 10k to 15k respectively and people are rushing it and women are buying to fill up their vehicles mainly for business.

Your last paragraph. See what I was saying?

Price.

Add the greed of the sellers too.

Plantains are very very expensive in Southern Nigerian. Thank God you said Abuja because food will be predictably affordable in MB region. I travel a lot, so I see all these things.

If we can be intentional and not cosmetic about agriculture, no Nigerian should be complaining about food shortage/price.

Most Abuja plantain comes from Edo State and a friend of mine is both plantain and cocoa farmer...

Farmers are not the reason such things are expensive but middle men. During Buhari govt,a lady I know bought beans worth 100m in Kaduna at 18k per bag and she sold it all when the price went up to180k then.

Most farmers don't even know where their produce are going to but the middle men.

Middle are the people who peg prices and not farmers.

Yes. That was why I mentioned greed.

See? From 18k to 180k? That's over 1000% increase!

Oboy eh!

If we are serious in this country, a PCB(Price Commodity Board) should ensure that prices remains uniform and that the farmers/consumers should be protected from unscrupulous middlemen/unfavourable seasonality.

This country has really been messed up and the way it is now,poor people would continue to be poor because of the govt lack of support and intervention such as the one u just mentioned.

The middle men are now the new cartel in the food chain.
