Okorocha is a misfit.

He just talks too much.

What has he done with the rice growing communities in his State?

Ask yourself this,Are you very sure the man is not right?

knuckbuck:
I agree with most of what you have written except there's another Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi, Benue States. I don't know if there are more but Nigeria definitely has more than two Federal Universities of Agriculture.

superstarDikk:
Lol......op I understand the need to defend ur region o. But your problem is that u don't take the truth lightly....the north is far ahead of the southeast when it comes to agriculture...majority of the food consumed in Nigeria is gotten from the north...you talk about rice and yam and ish,,nigga pls....a village in Benue state produces more yam than the whole of ur region..not to talk of Plateau and other states....Have u gone to the north n see how fruits r wasted despite selling at unbelievably cheap prices?...... Okorocha is right but as usual, ur people will not see it cuz he is in a 'Hausa' party n he is 'defending' the hausas....lol..... God bless Nigeria

Udmaster:

I don't deny the fact that North lead in Agriculture.
But South East don't depend wholly on the north.
Our food import from the North makeup just 10% of our food consumption.

Good points...Aside from few food items, d north really doesn't have anything to offer. Most of the food comes from Benue State.

superstarDikk:
10 percent?..... Pls where in the southeast r u?.....cuz where I am we depend like 90percent sef.....

Udmaster:
we are talking abt food consumed in the south east.
I don't rely on an article to buttress my point but on reality on what is on ground in the south east.
Btw in this ur article you posted, you can see South East states being mentioned in the production list.

QuotaSystem:


It has been edited to reflect without the SE. Every item on that list is consumed by the SE in huge amounts and transported daily from the North.

Why is this even an issue? Does it make you less of a man to depend on others when you lack? This only proves that no man is a island.

Udmaster:
oh pls shut up.
Yoruba bigot claiming to be in the South East.
Am currently in Texas, but I was in Abia and Enugu last 2months b4 returning to my base.
I know the SE very well.

superstarDikk:
you see your problem?...I never called u names bro... U just proved to me that u opened this thread out of jealousy for other Nigerian tribes........For ur info I'm not Yoruba neither am I Hausa. I'm just Niger Deltan who sees things as they are. I don't follow the crowd n complain all d time. I m not a victim like ur people are..........n I've been base in Awka for d past 5years, so yea I'm in the SE

Udmaster:
why did you edit it to remove the south east?
Like I said b4, yes the North lead in Agriculture but what the food that South East people consume daily are Home grown.
In our Soups, do the North grow our vegetables? Our garri? Rice? Palm oil? Etc NO.

BoleynDynaSTY:

Aside from beans, tomatoes, potatoes what do we eat in our everyday lives that is majorly produced in the north?

superstarDikk:
nne biko be specific and certain............. The north, when it comes to food has everything to offer. Rochas was right but we will not see it. How many people r farmers in the east n what exactly do they produce?.......... We r claiming of having yams when more than 90percent of d yam we consumed is from Benue n Jos....a single state in the north has more agricultural produce than the whole of southeast combined. So yea, they have errrtin offer
