Hello nairalanders, haven't read the news about how president Muhammadu Buhari said he will rather invest in agriculture than pay the #5000 naira stipend his government promise to unemployed youths, i then ask my self;


1. With the persistent clashes among herdsmen and farmers, how will this agriculture investment work?


2 .which part of Nigeria produces almost all agricultural products in large scale?


3. Is such area free of herdsmen and farmers clashes?



In my opinion, investing in agricultural sector now that clashes among herdsmen and farmers are so fast spreading, it is not a welcome development.


It is only some few northern state that these clashes are not heard of.

Over to you nairalanders, is Mr. President decision good?

Its an issue that can be resolved, our countrymen are quick to resort to violence, I think each lga need to take it upon themselves and try to find a way to reach their people on conflict resolution, we are all humans and thats why we have a language we speak so as to communicate with one another. Lack of communication causes chaos, People escalate issues that can be resolved amicably.
I never really supported the dashing out of 5k, it would only make people lazy and we can't afford that, its better the money is invested in job creating opportunities. I strongly believe agriculture needs to be explored and researched in this country, we might be sitting on a goldmine and not know it.

I wanted to asked that question.With fulani herdsmen using their cattle to destroy farmers crops and attacking the farmers if they challenge them,i wonder how buhari will achieve his agricultural policy.If he want to end bokoharam and militancy,fulani herdsmen should as well be curb.

He should not have used that #5k to trick nigerians during campaign.Btw,what about the constituency allawee lawmakers have been receiving on behalf of the people they represent?

but this crisis started a while long. This was how boko haram was overlooked initially and now it has become d most deadly terror group in d world. Resolving dis incessant crisis amicably by trying to allow a mutual association among herdsmen and farmers will be a difficult thing.

@op so you are saying because of Fulani herdsmen nigerians should abandoned the Agriculture despite all of it potentials?

Isn't solving a problem a big step towards development?

As a humans challenges will always remain with us but our ability to tackle them is what makes us better. Not running away.

But ...mtsss
