solmusdesigns:"Former farmers that felt the pang of desertification". This has nothing to do with not being able to sell their produce. At the end of the day, you might find out that these guys just told the DSS what they wanted them to hear. Most of these institutions don't give loans to start-ups. And most cases, you're required to pay 2% of the amount you're requesting upfront. I mean, if the government wants the unemployed youth to go into farming, they can provide a special loan facility which will require something like your degree certificate as a collateral, in addition to other measures to ensure the loan is used for the stated purpose. I had wanted to get a loan from BOA some years back for cashew farming, but for the stringent conditions, I had to delay the venture for a year to save enough to start. 1 Like |

Commercial farming is very expensive. And very risky. U just don't jump into farming. The first few yrs of farming is for of setting loans. It calls for patience. |

AZeD1: They did not ask you to go into business because of patriotism, they are asking you as a private citizen to buy Nigeria to make Nigeria grow. Necessity is the mother of invention, when there's a lack of availability og certain products businesses will move in to fill that void, this is what business people do. 2) Closing the borders would encourage hording and smuggling. That's why the CBN Governor was begging... Hoarding is what greedy and unpatriotic people do naturally, but what's this got to do with the ban on the importation of rice? Or you mean we should leave our borders wide open and let our neighbors flood our country with imported rice? Do you even know how much we lose yearly due to rice smuggling? Do you think smugglers py taxes and tariffs on the rice they flood Nigeria with? 3) If I can buy rice from Asia, ship it to Nigeria, pay custom and still sell it close to the same as rice produced in Nigeria, then the problem is the high cost of production in Nigeria and not importation. See how you just undercut your own argument? We are talking about border closure tp prevent smuggling and smugglers denying Nigeria custom tariffs and payment and you are talking about importing and paying customs. If that's the case, why are the smugglers smuggling their rice into Nigeria instead of doing what you suggested by going through customs and paying the necessary fees to import their rice? We closed our borders because of smuggling, not because of imports going through our ports. 4) The Cocoa example just shows that that's little value in growing crops, the value is in processing what was produced. That is a different argument, establish your own cocoa processing plant and change the dynamics if you have the money. What's the president's business with that? You want the FG to establish chocolate factories or what? I wnde when you people are going to start blaming the FG because the sky is blue. You people don't put any thought into your arguments, you just pull anything out of the sky to rubbish your own country with even when it doesn't make sense. 4 Likes 1 Share |

LocalNietzsche:Which famine? Beans, yam, Garri, akpu, amala and even bread don finish for market? Na by force to chop rice? If we want chop rice, why can't we grow rice? Afterall rices is grown and harvested within 3 months. What you guys fail to understand is that imported rice and fuel is putting too much strain on our foreign reserves and exchange rate. If dang dangote refinery becomes operational and we grow our own rice, our exchange rate will improve tremendously, maybe $1 to less than N200. 3 Likes 1 Share |

NGpatriot:1) Patriotism is not an economic policy. When you go to the hospital, Patriotism will not pay the bills, money will. Nigeria is a price sensitive country and majority of Nigerians go for cheaper things. 2) Buhari banned rice imports via the ports that's why people started importing from Benin Republic. Like I said, if rice was cheaper in Nigeria, importing would be a waste of time. Techno started producing cheaper smart phones from Samsung and Apple and now own a large share of the market. Economics 101.. compete on price and you'd win. 1 Like 1 Share |

AZeD1: How do you formulate sound economic policy for your country if you are not patriotic? You are not making any sense. . When you go to the hospital, Patriotism will not pay the bills, money will. Nigeria is a price sensitive country and majority of Nigerians go for cheaper things.

AZeD1: It is actually, you are wrong. Patriotism is the reason why you are in the position to make decisions including economic decisions on behalf of your country in the first place, you don't and an not make economic decisions that are not in favor of your own country. When Trump imposed sanctions and tariffs on foreign products even against his neighbors, it was patriotism even though America is losing money and their farmers are losing billions of dollars in exports. He called it America first. How do Nigerians reconcile wanting a great country with cheap and abundant food, but too unpatriotic and can not sacrifice anything to be that great country with cheap and abundant food? You obviously don't know the meaning of patriotism. |
