Herdsmen are busy killing the farmers. cows are busy eating the little crops planted. yet our presido wants to ban food importation. I don't blame him anyway, neither do I blame the herdsmen and their cows. I blame all those thay rigged him in for 2nd term.

One sided narrative about the issue.

tot:
Even the western countries import what they can't produce.

As part of the Brexit analysis, it was shown that the UK produces roughly 60% of the food it consumes. Of the remaining 40%, about three-quarters is imported directly from the European Union, including a lot of fresh fruit &vegetables, and the remaining 10% from the rest of the world. This is for a population of ~60 million, not to mention Nigeria which has triple that.

Who are Buhari's economic advisers? Na wa!

So we can't produce food in Nigeria abi?
I'm tempted to call you Cow, but I won't

To be honest, Buhari meant well by telling CBN to stop giving FOREX to food importers coz by the basic common sense rule it will make people patronize locally produced food ma and hence create employment based on the fact that Agriculture is the largest employer of labor in Nigeria.

But looking at it from another perspective, there are always effects to any action no matter how good or bad it seems like. The effect to this is that in a nation like Nigeria, the food importers will resort to getting the FOREX elsewhere from the black market dealers and the brunt of the high cost of food will be on the final consumers.

The government is trying in their own way to give farmers incentives and inturn increase yield but we are not yet at the level we want and they really need to invest more in agriculture to get machineries and fertilizers to the farmers. They shouldn’t just stop granting FOREX to food importers, but they need to remove it bit by bit to be able to ease the pain on the citizens.

Tbh we are not yet at the point where we can produce 80% of what we consume in Nigeria, hence the government need to be tactical not to remove the FOREX from the importers at once, but do so gradually.

Buhari policy is right in an ideal country provided we can really mechanize our farming and our farmers can meet the daily demand of food, but in Nigeria things are different and we don’t conform to textbook definitions of economics coz a lot of factors come into play.

Verdict: The government should not stop granting FOREX all at once, coz the aftermath effect could be fatal.

Buhari has proved to be wiser and smarter than our so-called economists who know nothing about practicals but theory.

Many times Buhari has floored them on economics matter:

1. During the debate to fully float the Naira against the president's position not to do so, Buhari was eventually proved correct by attaining exchange rate stability without floating the currency.

2. PMB, against noise and wailing banned access to 42 items including toothpicks to save dollars. Today, most of those items are locally produced thereby creating local jobs and increasing wealth for the entrepreneurs who took adantage.

This time, the best president in Nigeria's history says that in a bid to encourage local food producers and make them competitive, the CBN should not provide dollars to food importers. Wailers and wailing zombies are masturbating and bringing up voodoo economics to tell us why it is wrong for the president to say/do so. Please tell us how best to encourage local production if not by making them more competitive? How can people produce locally if the imported goods remain cheap or slightly dearer?

Una no get sense I swear. And this senseless thinking is being led by a wannabe presidential candidate who was a deputy governor of CBN when GEJ sacked Sanusi. The idiot stood by GEJ. He was also alive when Jona the fisherman was ordering Emefiele to release billions of dollars for looting (in the name of fighting insurgency) but kept quiet.

IPOBites and sense are words and their opposite.

You want Nigeria to be like China, Korea, Japan, etc, but you don't want to take the hard decisions! Hypocrites and unpatriotic souls.

Zombie need I remind you that 2 years ago you lord and Saviour withdrew $1b from the ECA to fight insurgency. My brother what is the result??

This was how xo.bies wer ranting that nigeria is good sufficient. We 're farmers. blah blah blah

oga dangote believed them and went to open tomato paste factory.



after which he discovered Nigerians 're not farmers. he nor see tomatoes process.

Nigerians are dead people

Yes the Dullardo is indeed a "genius". That is why Nigeria's debt is now 25 trillion naira and Nigeria is now the global capital of poverty.

Only a fool would go through this post and arrive at the conclusion that all is well in Nigeria, when the post clearly states that according to the FOOD AND AGRICULTURAL ORGANISATION (FAO) which is an unbiased, international organisation, Nigeria's agricultural output has fallen under the clueless and incompetent leadership of the dullard.


I swear only the dullard can explain how he is able to attract such stupid followers.

you're saying rubbish guy, look at the economy of Nigeria since the inception of this administration so for your mind we are doing well means you're not a realistic but mugun, ode munmun, can't you reason with your brain, buhari policy is working with this derailed economy? You must be stupid guy

People are weird on this forum. If you tell them the naira is overvalued and we should not be pouring billions on defending it they'll shout. If the government wants to ban everything under sun they celebrate.

Said a nation not ready to feed itself but want the resources from the South South to continue feeding them.
He is doing this with good mind. He only needs good adviser that can go down to the grass root to mobilized for the food, bring in foreign investors and boooooooom our economy will be there at a better place.

Lol...


Nice submission....

Been following the ex deputy governor of CBN's analysis even on sunrise daily this morning.

However, the FG should be addressing the herdsmen-farmers clashes before even attempting at broaching this idea in the first place.

If the above is resolved, trust me...the attraction to foreign food where we have Boku alternatives will be the sole preserve of the rich like in so many other aspects of life.

The ban won't even be necessary because poor man sabi advise himself to mind wet in him shikini money fit afford.

Some people are being unnecessary emotional in their responses here without properly understanding the issue at hand.

I do not agree with Buhari on all issues but that won't affect my sense of reasoning or judgment.

He isn't banning the importation of food...the FG just won't be encouraging it at the expense of our local farmers by providing them forex as an incentive.

If as a businessman, you found your niche and clientele in the foreign food market, what the government is encouraging you to do is to source your forex indep3ndently, get your imports and satisfy your foreign-food hungry market while making a kill.

I'm even trying to take a note of the number of imported food items I consume on a weekly.

The truth is, Nigeria has been living a fake life. Don't tell me about a dollar being 185 or something. All those were purely artificial and unsustainable.

As much as it hurts, we are just beginning to get real with our original 'level' and the best we can do is meandering our ways out of the economic quagmire brought upon by years of waste and economic rape.

This is the real life.

We must go through these hardships to begin to build the foundation for an economy we all dream of.

It can never be gotten on a platter except we want to continue living in denials as in the past.

You are worse than those you tagged hypocrites. With the insecurities and herdsmen taking their cows to go graze in people's farmland coupled with lack of infrastructures for mechanized farming, how does this create a better agricultural output (both in quality and quantity) to feed a country growing in population with each passing day? Countries that are advanced in agriculture still import food, it is called comparative advantage. You don't have to be blindfolded by your bigotry.
