I know you guys will attack me , but this still shows that we are very backward in keeping records, it is impossble for Nigeria to spent that amount in a year, how much do we make and how much is our budget in a year. For me personally, I eat egusi soup, garri and other Nigerian product most of the time in a year, They should stuff those figure in their a.s.s. Common to pay minimum wages, they are sshouting talkless is thinking of the mass and importing that amount of food

Those figures quoted are suspect (around $160 billion ).

But why wouldn't we lay more emphasis on importation when a sizeable number of the working population are chasing oil/government contracts, and the remainder lucky enough to get employment would prefer working in Banks; Oil and Blue-chip companies, irrespective of their qualifications. With our penchant for quick and easy money to show-off with, farming is seen as too much of a hassle; hard work; not prestigious enough and you'd be likely to grow grey hairs b/4 you start seeing adequate returns on your investments. The fact of the matter is easy 'oyel' money has made us lazy in this country.

The few large-scale farmers we have are not adequate for our needs as a country, and also not efficient and focused enough as many of them are distracted by other commitments like politics and other businesses they may have.

And for those pissed-off to the point of wanting a revolution: fat chance of that happening!!! . There's so much complexity to our make-up as a 'nation' for any revolution to be successful. If one were to happen, you'd be sure to see the elite/ruling-class/politicians/Oligarchs play on ethnicity and religious sentiments to dagbaru the whole thing . Think back to the events leading up to the coup of 1966 and you'll understand where i'm going with this line of reasoning. The only way a revolution can work is if the ethnic nationalities that make-up Nigeria today were allowed to leave and form their own countries, and then maybe seek to form REAL nations or confederations with like-minded ethnicites where equity/justice/merit are non-negotiable and there's no recourse to the antiquated ideas of quota-system and federal character nonsense that is holding us back as a nation. If this were to happen, then and only then would the theiving ruling-class have a fight on their hands.

You are the one missing it here. Our budget for a year is circa N6Trillion. Where does the money to import N24Trillion/Year come from. What about clothe import, drugs, chemical ?
