Why Can't The South Be Food Sufficient? by bigpriik: 11:17pm On Nov 09, 2020
Is it that we don't have the enough arable land,is it that we are not capable of running mechanised agriculture or just plain agriculturally lazy why do we have to depend on the north like our hands are tied?

Don't believe the myth on northern food sufficiency .


The north has advantage in food production based on three major reasons:

1. Heavy federal subsidy that is only possible from resources in the South. They can't kickstart a planting season in the north without govt handouts

2. A teeming uneducated.and unskilled labour population that sees farming as the only way to survive.

3. Wide spread poverty

You could plant tomatoes in the South but why do so when a basket of tomatoes in the north is cheaper than the basket and transportation to the market ?

They farm mostly grains, vegetables and cereals in the core north which are of little or no cash value.

While in the South cash crops that require heavy intensive farming and high investments are preferred.

The north is more dependent on the south for subsidy handouts and a ready market.

Split this shithole and see how they will starve in the north since they won't have access to govt subsidized fertilizers, irrigation and buybacks.

Please do not prove Nigeria is really home of idiots. With modern agricultural application, a person does not need the land the size of Niger State to be a sufficient crop producer. The day Ndigbo decide to plough into crop production, Arewa will see unimaginable starvation. Please enjoy this division of labor while it lasts.

You have brain! Another thing you forgot to mention was the availability of land... The south has high population density, but we could solve this problem with large scale hydroponics farming.

They have land in Niger Republic but can't produce 5% what Holland produces.

With all the land in the north, they can't even rraise enough cattle or produce milk up to what Holland produces.

Our problem in the South is not land but the fact that it isn't profitable to compete with the north in certain food crops like onions and tomatoes because their production costs do not factor human labour.

Have you asked why they can't replicate the groundnut pyramids in the north ? Slavery was abolished in 1938 by the British in the north and with that the Riga slave plantation model collapsed. In it's place you have serfdom with most of the arable land being owned by wealthy and powerful fulanis who grant peasent farmers access to farm on it based on a harvest sharing formula. The elite register their peasant land ownings as farms and from there access huge interest free loans and grants from the govt. Even the fertilizers get to them at a subsidy from where they sell at a profit to their serfs.

This is why farming appears to be booming in the north and it has nothing to do with fertile land mass but rather an oppressive post slavery and corruption fueled racket .

It's embarrassing speaking abt things that u have no knowledge of, making assumptions to discredit others for ur camp to laugh is a big shame. Who subsidises Northern farming? How is it subsidise? Everywhere in the North is farm lands; no farmer is poor, farming is a lucrative job. Come to North and see young guys at early 20s farming in millions.
Bag of rice change price from 20k to 35k from North to south, goat change price from 20k to 60k from North to south and u think our potential won't be harnessed. Farming alone fetch farmers more than $78b annually in Nigeria. North export food to Niger Republic, Chad, Algeria, Morocco, Malaysia, Spain in geometric terms more than the south.

Abeg shut up with your rubbish analysis fuelled by ethnic hatred and lies.

The south cannot feed themselves because you are all lazy people looking for quick money to form big boy, and you look down on farming.

THAT is why you DEPEND on the same northerners you hate with a passion, to feed your fat bellies.

And if those northerners decide tomorrow to stop supplying you all that cheap food and meat, you will all starve, riot, and blame Buhari, so shut the fck up and be grateful.

You like and you know it.

FG through Ministry of Agriculture provides everything from seedlings to fertilizers to building earthdams and other irrigation schemes . The FG even buys grains directly from farmers in an elaborate corruption scam that makes the north come out with ridiculous production outputs to justify the fake govt grain buyouts .

The north is dirt poor and that's the reason we live you slaves to farm for us

By the way, we don't get the food free , we pay for it in full . So stop doing like you are doing us a service .

If we were not one Nijeriya do you think we will limit ourselves to your diseased sodomized cows or your diseased tomatoes ?

If you are so good at farming why is northern Nigeria not exporting food ?

No you don't. You pay very little for it, which is why even beggars in the south can afford to eat orishirishi.

Paying ''in full'' means paying WORLD prices in dollars, you illiterate.


So stop doing like you are doing us a service

You would starve without them, so they are doing you a great service

If we were not one Nijeriya do you think we will limit ourselves to your diseased sodomized cows or your diseased tomatoes ?

But who forced you to eat northern food?

You can even import beef online these days if that is your preference. But no. You will still go for northern food and meat. THIEF.

If you are so good at farming why is northern Nigeria not exporting food ?

Because they have a market of 100 million starving, lazy southern dependents ready to buy up all they produce!

let me add that the south to a large extent is sufficient in itself.

For more than 10years the only rice we eat at home is my native rice from my lga (big sweet grains), i prefer turkey, mellusa fish to beef
