Bros, even the country throwing the food away is hungry....they just got no choice.

You must milk the cows, the layers must lay eggs, the vegetables must be either harvested or destroyed!

The storage facilities are filled and the produce were made for large scale immediate consumption. But the restaurant chains are closed and the final consumers are under lock-down

That's not an excuse... At least half of the foodstuffs can be distributed through secure channels to those who need them either in the country or outside.

Hunmmm

lexy2014:


There are definitely better ways of handling d situation instead of destroying d food

Can you tell us those ways sir?

We are waiting to hear from you

America is a 3rd world country in disguise. Covid-19 has proven it.

GreatResearcher1:
Just stop mentioning Africa in ur mediocrity

Is hunger Ravaging many parts of Africa? Yes. Can those destroyed foods be sent to Africa to alleviate the problems, yes. So, what exactly is your problem?

Martinola:
Make these food items find a way to africa nah
Wat a waste

China did not waste their medical equipment. They sent Some to Africa. How did Africans respond?
They said China poisoned the equipment with COVID19.
If America sends us food now, we will say something worse. So they better keep them.

For this hunger wey dey everywhere na him Us of A dey destroy food? Why dem no send am come Africa or Naija na?

Amotolongbo:
Can they find a way of importing them to Africa instead of destroying them?

With the way things will start going this week, NCDC will start getting their confirmed cases mixed up, thinking that the deaths recorded are COVID-19, not knowing that majority of the deaths are from HUNGER-20.
And we know that when one is severely hungry, it can manifest with different symptoms. Too much hunger can show the combination of symptoms of Ebola Corona and HIV in just one manifestation.

Only in Naija

You talked bringing them to Africa, when they don't even have enough money to push them beyond the limit of their locality. Its like you don't know what is happening in the State?

A friend of mine left last June to go and do his MSc in the State, as we were chatting and calling each other on Whatsapp, he became too arogant and proud of the State as if he has been there for decades.

It got me pissed, I stopped chatting with him. Few days ago, I sent few lines of messages to him in connection to his America, I playfully cajoled him on how America is humiliated and become the humble one now. He couldn't say a word but shamefully agree to the point.

I dont know why people do things like that. Its cool when you see how far others have gone and all but wanting to identify with the place as if na your state.... well what do I know ?

ProfDview1:
Is buhari mad? How can he tell farmers to destroy food when we are hungry here... What kind of useless president is this na?

Buhari has been known to always destroy things sha.

His herdmens destroyed our farms and the little we cud even harvest, buhari told them to destroy again.


Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

wow so Na hunger configure ur brain to this level where u no longer understand what u are reading....... It is well bro. It will pass. Lol

OlujobaSamuel:

We might have so many problems, but for now, food shortages isn't one.
If it's imported, will it be shared for free? Can an average Nigerian afford imported food?
Everything is not about rubbishing ourselves.

VERY TRUE!!!

still don't believe that convid is part of a sinister plan, which includes global food scarcity?

Lostz:


What are you selling except crude oil that they should buy from you?


I know some of you just eat anything to exist but some of us love eating our favorite..,..we are not just eating to exist but to enjoy life

Eat your children's future.

You are not wrong. But we sell raw materials that is used to produce a lot of end products. Without Congo you wouldn't have that phonr in your hand. But they force kids and pay them slave labour. Diamonds de but debeers controls the market. Is there anything wronf paying better wages? They pay slave labour then charge so much for the end product they send bavk to us to buy. Essentially economic rape.

Let me give you an example
Google had a small project they had people around the world do. They would pay $125.
When people in naija finished they only paid $75. When contactef google had the nerve to say thry paid based on purchasing power.
But when we buy their products we pay same as western world and they do not factor in PPP then.

This is the issue with capitalism. And we need to continue to fight hard. And not just keep buying products. Make them build a factory and emply workers. Pay well. Not just allow them to cart away raw materials at slave prices. We produce the cocoa used for most chocolates. Yet we are not paid sustainably. Things need to change. But we still have protected British children in power.

In your vast knowledge, where do you think we will get the money from?, or does that not equate to hunger?

For those asking that the veggies be be sent to countries thst need them, just know this veggies can not sate any hunger. What can onions, lettuce and cabbage do to relieve hunger? If it were carb filled grains then that would have been an entirely different ballgame. But since grain can be stored indefinitely, they'll never be free grains.

For the milk hiwever, rather than waste it they could have churned butter or made cheese.

This is weird.
Especially with the number of people resorting to food stamps and food kitchens you'd think this was a time for compassionate utilisation of excess agricultural produce.
I also read that the less fortunate are being disproportionately hit by the virus in the US, particularly black populations. They are known to have poor dietary choices (socio-economic related) and may be more vulnerable. Maybe they could have found a way of getting people in urban populations to start eating healthy and having less dietary related problems to burden their health systems with. What a bizarro world we live in.

Typical begging folks! Why not advice them to use the produce to feed their own people first!
Since your politicians will steal agricultural development funds and you guys will be expecting freebies.....keep wishing.

persius555:
This is one area that governments globally have failed woefully. Food security has always been the exclusive of private companies and individuals.

It exposed the incompetents of government to coordinate proper food distribution along the entire food value chain. And you have knuckleheads chairing boards of that useless UNFPA.

Sometimes, I ponder if humanity actually need government to survive. Aside from taxing individual to death and making Draconian laws that put hindrance to human development, engaging in senseless wars, printing and controlling where and how money flows, what better use is government?

Farms and Food companies are not nationalized in most countries.

Whenever food production was nationalized like in China, Soviet Russia, Zimbabwe and Venezuela millions died of famine because the government officials had no clue how to mange the infrastructure and corruption.

Although even if we dismantle current governments people of similar ideology will group together to form their own types of government. This is because it's very easy for private entities to take advantage of people without any checks in place.

You are not a major player in any other product except crude.

It is left for employees and their employer to agree on pay.


China with all their production still import food. The amount they spend on importing food yearly should be way bigger than your entire budget.

Nice food is supposed to be a right not a privilege


We have the highest paid politicians in the world here. You should not blame the rest of the world for the way you run your country

I can't argue with you. Nice food is a right but livable wages aren't? Forced labour of children is fine? Kontinue. Maybe read wikileaks. I wish we were allowed to run our country the wey we like. Instead we are still ruled by feudal lords. You have zero knowledge of world current and recent history events. Or maybe you are being willfully ignorant. Cheers.

Those food items can be shared to Americans for free and used as relief materials and sent to countries that don't have as much. Does it sound like rocket science?

Truth is bitter. Africa is suffering. shortage of food resulting from poor agricultural implements and poor health centres. we are just lucky enough not to experience the hard luck other continents are facing this time.
