FULL SPEECH : Ogbeh made this known during a budget defence session at the National Assembly on Tuesday.

Lamenting that Nigeria imports almost everything, the minister said, “Let nobody take it lightly, these guys have seized this country’s economy, taken us hostage and they have no intentions of giving up. Because this is a huge and very sweet market and they have taken control.

“Every time you bring in a shipload of rice, you also bring in a shipload of unemployment, because you are transferring your wealth to sustain other economies. Somehow, Nigerians didn’t notice it, so we became a nation of importers.

“Toothpick costs us $18 million; tomato paste costs us $400 million to import. Meanwhile, a basket in town is less than N2000; the farmers are losing money because the processors don’t have enough funds to set up factories.”

He also said, “We import milk, sugar, toothpick, toothpaste, pencil, items we don’t make; Vegetable, lettuce, cabbage come from South America through Dubai and arrives here for sale.

“There are also Nigerians who would rather have the imported item if it is not imported, it is not right, it shows status, class, that they only eat imported things.

Ogbeh added that “There are Nigerians who use their cellphones to import pizza from London. That’s where we are, and it’s a very annoying situation.”

APC party worse pass PDP government.

Nigerians need wake up and be part of the governmental process without force or be persuaded.

Getting PVC is not enough.

Voting on election day is not enough

Going to political gathering is not enough

... wake up

Think! Think! Think!


So what is enough ?

Ironically u are not thinking.

Reno already thought for u and u are forming think think think.


If you want to know if we truly import Pizza, go to Shop rite and check their stand.

Oga Reno, actually it makes sense to import grass, i just don't know about from brazil sha, but even at that it makes sense; except we get into a program where we can grow more grass in nigeria for cow consumption. Nigeria is too populated to have farmland and animal feed lands. Even the farm lands alone will not be sufficient.


I would prefer that we train to have the best food inspectors in the world because that will favor us more. I am very sure that Brazil is way more advanced than any african country especially nigeria, when it comes to food production and industrialized farming. I am cool with that, what i am not comfortable with, is the credibility of the inspections that will take place when it arrives in nigeria.


The only way out for nigeria is technological farming like most asian countries.

LordCenturion:
Oga, everyone are guilty of this,although I don't really support that of pizza importation but we Nigerians do crazy things at times just to show off, but the fact still remains that we don't appreciate our own things,this has been happening since our independent,there are two different versions of peak milk,but people love to buy the one that comes from Holland , and both are the same, what about u Mr reno,why are u in abroad,why your children are staying and studying in abroad,don't we have good schools here?, u are also having your medical check up over there, I remember one barrister songs of 1970's/early 80's that my dad use to listen to, where he said

As far as our president is patronizing Whites for his medical check up, they don't have the right to complain. Until he starts using Nigeria hospital, nobody will take him serious. They are analyzing the money lost and job lost bla bla bla, How much does our president spend on each medical trip, lead by example and people will follow suit.

Badt guy..

But not too long ago we saw on social media that someone impoted cooked stew from China. So he might not be absolutely wrong

It's not entirely impossible that Nigerians import pizza from London.

At least pretty 2015, I know Nigerians imported celebration cakes, for personal use though.

Very true his son was the one that imported pizza..
Only all this politicians sons can do that

hmmmm

But I think government have stopped giving importers for. Toothpick access to forex?

He soured his presentation with pizza. It seems the man likes pizza with the way he pronounced it

The reason why this government either by nook or by crook found its way back to power is in order to enable those who have long time to reason could have enough time to see and have a positive change of mind.Those who reason fast never gave this government a chance when it was about coming in 2015,those who were not fast at reasoning or ignorant gave it first term and beat hasty retreat when they saw myriad of blunders.Even with all the noise about shaving off Nigerian rice importation Nigeria still remains the second largest rice importation country after China let alone pizzas.

This is the only person that made sense so far. Even if Pizza is not imported, he made that remarks to buttress how serious the issue has gotten to. The mumu Reno is a busy body and mumu nairalanders that fail to have a faculty are also talking trash.
Kudos my guy

my brother stop making noise how many of them (the government) will consume the so called local made, I have rice in my house that I have vow not buy again simply because it doesn't meet up standard. What are the plans to see that our goods are up to standard?

Twoclans:
Please let's not blame him, the agricultural minister is an old man. Don't be surprised someone actually bought pizza and lied to him it was ordered from London. Never underestimate the power of psycophants and eye service people around people in government .

When we surround ourselves with people who should be playing with their grand children, this is what we get .Nigeria deserves where it is now.

Don't be silly, have you forgotten when containers of egusi soup was impounded at apapa port by customs?

Nigerians buy the most ridiculous things from abroad sha.

DrTee1:
But what does Audu Ogbe's first degree have to do with this all, even if every other criticism is true?

There are too many people who read a different course as their first undergraduate degrees before taking a different career trajectory in life. Too many.


The current Minister for Trade and Investment, Dr. Okechukwu Enelamah earned a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka in 1985. He earned a Master's degree in Business Administration (MBA) from Harvard University in 1994 where he was a Baker Scholar and Loeb Fellow.[3] He is a member of ICAN (1992) and became a CFA in 1997.[4] He earned Dean’s List honours in his MBBS graduating class at the University of Nigeria (meaning he was one of the best graduating medical doctors in his undergraduate class), and was awarded national prizes in the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) examinations. (meaning he had one of the best qualifying results as a chartered accountant when he changed career).

Enelamah worked as an Audit Senior and Consultant with 1988 at Arthur Anderson (now KPMG Professional Services). He later worked in the New York and London offices of Goldman Sachs in 1993 before joining Zephyr Management as an investment manager where he rose to Principal in the Johannesburg office between 1995 and 1997.[5]

Enalamah founded African Capital Alliance (ACA), a private equity firm, in 1997 where he served as CEO until his appointment to the Industry, Trade, and Investment portfolio in November 2015 by President Muhammadu Buhari.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okechukwu_Enelamah


Minister Audu Ogbe's work description is Politician and Farmer, according to Wiki. As of 2009, he was chairman and managing director, Efugo Farms, Makurdi.

Even if he lied about people importing pizza from England, what does that have to do with his undergraduate degree? Reno was once in government. If they had converted Nigeria to Rwanda, not even UAE or Malaysia, in effectively handling the politics and economy, his party and principal wouldn't have been voted out of office.

Finally, it may not be false that some Nigerians, the super noveau-riche, may indeed be importing pizza from England when they crave for it. It may be an infinitesimal fraction of our population, but it doesn't mean it cannot happen - for crying out loud.

Didn't a Nigerian artiste release a hit track about travelling to a European city just for a meal?

Sometimes, or often times, Politicians get abysmally low in going against themselves. Interestingly, they do all that to get the attention of the public. In their closets, they are all friendly and they respect themselves.

This is a Reno who parades himself as a Christian leader by the way. Where did he read that Jesus did this?

What has Christianity got to do with this? How can you accuse someone and then do exact same thing thereafter?

You expect some level of morals from someone yet you're worse?

Wtf @ the sycophancy!

audu ogbeh made very solid meaningful points....if you ignore those points then the joke's on you. I'm sure omokri doesn't realize that his tweet only made a mockery of himself!!

The suit and tie he is putting on nko...eleriburuku

You keep saying pizza wey dey shoprite...tge big man in Lagos doesn't want to eat the same pizza in shoprite as the common man on the street, he wants to prove his class by doing something extraordinary.

OkaNaUbe:
We know that they are lying. Pizza wey de shoprite?
