₦airaland Forum

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo over the past weekend in Ibadan, Oyo State capital, unveiled a new initiative tagged ‘Zero Hunger’ to clearly articulate what the country needs to do to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs).

Obasanjo tasked the Federal Government to, as a matter of urgency, ban importation of vegetables, carrots, cucumber, lettuce and other fruits into the nation.

Obasanjo bared his mind at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan at the inaugural meeting of the ‘Nigeria Zero Hunger Strategic Review’ Committee comprising an assemblage of representatives of the World Food Program, African Development Bank, members of the Diplomatic Corps, captains of industry as well as technocrats drawn from both the public and private institutions across the country.

Addressing the forum, Chief Obasanjo, who is the convener of the initiative called for collective change of mind from all Nigerians insisting that a multi-stakeholder and multi-dimensional approach is highly desirable to achieve the goal of a zero hunger nation by 2025 ahead of the 2030 deadline given by the United Nations.

He declared: “Although the SDGs are laudable, the key to achieving them depends on implementation and our collective will. Let me reiterate that the task of attaining the SDGs cannot be left for the government alone, neither can it be left for the civil society nor the private sector. It is going to take the collective effort of each and every citizen of this great nation and our partners.

It will require our collective change of mindset to at first identify the opportunities that abound. It is in this context that we have invited you to this meeting. We will be looking at the second goal of the SGDs which is Zero Hunger. Our main focus will be to clearly articulate what the country needs to do to achieve the SGDs.”

This old man self

Lol, seriously there's a demon in Nigeria's presidential seat that makes sure every elected Nigerian president never performs till he leaves office.

Look at the father of corruption who used to be a Godly and repented man while in prison but turned devil's incarnate the moment he became president of Nigeria in 1999.

Had the whole power, the peoples' support and the whole ground to turn Nigeria around for good but used the opportunity to witch-hunt his past political enemies and to embezzle public funds anyhow for his greedy self and gazillion of mistresses scattered all over the world.

Now haven realized the gravity of evil and destruction he brought upon Nigeria, his conscience can't let him sit one place but rather he keeps pushing hard by all means to redeem his black image.

This is what will also happen to Buhari; if he fails to rebuke that demon that jumps into them at Aso Rock, he will carry shame and regrets to his grave; people close to him should go and tell him I said so now that he has got time to redeem his image and family from generational curse

Maybe Baba should become the Minister of Agriculture!!
