This is the change that APC supporters voted for. They should embrace it. If you voted for APC and suffering under this government you deserve no pity.

This is the most disempowering statement on earth.

Are we brain dead in Africa?

Our land will be collected from us if we continue like this.

I have read your statement about Nigerians going to the farm. Mind you Nigeria has a lot of sectors from finance, telecommunications, power, education, petroleum, health etc while the agricultural sector is just one of the many.

Everyone in Nigeria cannot be farmers, in fact the majority of the population cannot be farmers, not even 50 percent of Nigeria's population can be farmers because all other sectors must be engaged for the proper workings of things.

Another reason is that excess food production is a problem. Demand and supply tells you that the more a product like orange for example is readily available the cheaper it becomes. That's good for the citizens but bad for farmers in general as farming will no longer be profitable, this is because they will need to produce and sell so many oranges to make a decent return! So following economics, the more supply is available demand will drop, which translate to less profit for farmers. To off set excess agricultural produce export of the oranges will be needed to realize profit. In their raw form agricultural goods quickly perish, so they have to be processed first or transported in cold fridge adding more cost to the low end goods. And in a case where the global supply chain for goods is broken like as we have with covid19 it means all those goods will never be transported but perish, which is lost revenue for farmers.

So optimal production of agricultural produce is the point and not excess which will happen if 20 million (which is the population of Lagos) or more people go into commercial farming which will in turn reduce the profit yield they get unless through export.

But under-production of agricultural goods is also a problem. These are partly do to insecurities in the northern regions where agricultural goods are produced, bad government policies that doesn't encourage investment into the agricultural sector, lack of arable farm lands for agriculture in the north, lack of proper artificial irrigation in dry season, high cost of fertilizers, inadequate storage facilities, lack of proper transport of agricultural goods to preserve their freshness etc.

In Nigeria we have optimal production of agricultural goods in most cases, except for maybe a few like rice production. The major problem with our agricultural produce in Nigeria is the devaluation of the naira. As such even with abundant food it doesn't get to our tables. With the devaluation of the naira, this causes reduced power of purchase, which makes these agricultural goods unaffordable to most Nigerians.

1. Go back to the farm does not mean 20m people, it means a sizeable number of people like 4 -5million
2. Please give us 3 examples of bad government policies impeding agriculture in Nigeria
3. 200m mouths in Nigeria alone will absorb any excess food production and remember we are surrounded by land borders
4. We can force the government to subside and/or mop up excess food production. We have to develop that capacity first through mechanised or alternative farming (including pure manpower labour)
5. Devaluation should only affect imported food or imported components or imported machines etc. It should not affect the cost of local food production.
6. If Nigerian people choose to live in the metropolis then they should be prepared to pay a high price for locally produced food.
7. Over time specialisation and efficiency will connive to eliminate waste, get the food to where it is needed most and cheap enough to profit the producers and the consumers (with government facilitation in between)
8. The above not achievable without the commitment of Nigerians
9. Correct any errors made above

1. I agree with you with your point 1. You mentioned Lagos State which has a population of about 20 million people and that was why I objected.
2. What are government doing about insecurities in the north, farmers are no longer in farms. What are doing about artificial irrigation during the dry season, or storage facilities etc. Are their policies for export friendly to Nigerian farmers.
3. Go to the markets and check if no foods, there are but the problem is how much can you afford to buy? So high cost of foods is the major problem due to inflation
4. High cost of governance is a problem in Nigeria. The government is subsidizing a lot of sectors. Education, petroleum, health, can they still subsidize the agricultural sector? Maybe if they generated more revenue from other sectors.
5. Devaluation affects everything. Locally or International. A farmer will buy car, build house and send kids to school. If his job can't give him those things because of its low profit then it's not worth it.
6. That's the price for industrialization. It applies every where in the world.
7. For it to be sustainable market forces like demand and supply has to be at equilibrium. Government subsidizing the economy won't make it self sustaining.
8. I agree with this.

I said it in March. That with the rampaging insecurity tearing the north west, north east and north central apart, with farming villages wiped our wholescale by bandits and terrorists it is only a matter of time before Nigeria faces a food crises.

These are the opening rumblings of a coming earthquake. Brace, brace, brace for impact and start a small savings account in foreign exchange.
