2 Main Reasons Nigeria Hasn't Been Food Self Sufficient by Adieza(op): 10:27am On Apr 27, 2018
Any sub saharan country can become self sufficient in food production in just three years. People keep arguing with me that it is not possible as if they are trying to prove to me that they have the right to remain poor.

There have been two obstacles to this happening:

1.) The people in government. I never thought any group of people would work against the development of their own people as the people in government in Africa. Everyone has made a victim of one another. As soon as people become civil servant they become oppressors of their fellow Africans.

2.) The people don't realise how easy this is to do. They think it is complex and complicated. So they are used as tools by some bezoars in government to saboteur any process that can put such transformation in place.

I was able to employ 50 persons and start feeding entire communities in Edo state within three months before the state government decided to work against me. Left alone, we would be farming 5,000 hectares by now in Edo state and contributing at least $50 million yearly to the GDP of the state.

People are thinking too small. That leaves some of us revving our engines perpetually without the opportunity to race.
