South over dependent on Northern food stuff is just too much. The we really need to step up our food productions.

If the north agrees to break up, just wondering wat will be the way

let that happen first, we will find a way.

Bambambiglo:
I doubt you're from niger. Even if you are,you're from the minority that still ass licks the caliphate and you're inconsiquential

Niger with the largest land mass and the home of Nigeria's hydro electricity is "inconsequential"?

I doubt you know what that word means and your spelling corroborates it.

tutudesz:
“As for livestock we have adequate lands for breeding pigs, goats, sheep, poultry, ducks, turkey, pigeon, etc. Oil palm and raffia proliferate in the Niger Delta. In truth, what foods do Northern states transport to us that gives them the impudent voice to threaten a food embargo?”
Niger Delta is blessed with different resources, only thing needed is a good plan to developed the region and good leaders

Lol.

We will happily export to closer African countries like Ghana, Niger, Chad etc.

You must think Buhari's shiny new railways are for decoration. We are building railways from Nigeria to other Islamic territories for alliance and economic growth.

FrMbaka:
Be specific.

Do you mean North West or North East?

i can't be specific because i don't know which part of the north produces what. However, should it matter? North is still north.

edoairways:
Stories! If some northerners continue this madness of huddling some foodstuffs, probably the south will boycott them. Secondly most of those food stuffs grow in the South

It's so unfortunate that you can still find people like this with entitlement mentality in the 21st century. The south could possibly import food even if they want because of their resources.

Whatever that grows in the core north states can and has been growing in the middle-belt states like Benue state for example can feed the whole of Nigeria talk more of sending food products to the south. The soil composition in Benue is ideal for any crop you want to plant atall and even the water there is pure and healthy to humans and animals, even the fulani herdsmen knows this that's why the unrest won't cease.

But the core north can go to hell for all I care since we the middle belter are willing and ready to carry on the task for we want development and not retardation and if eventually this country splits we want to be with people that reason for the way forward in life

dlaw70:
Are u telling me as in I don't know ?
from the Akankpa u mentioned to Boki,Ogoja,Yala, Bekwarra,Obudu , Obanliku.We are farmers but not born farmers .spot the difference.

They are born farmers.
If u r born into a community that has large span land without industry, housing etc, what will be ur first occupation if not farming.

Naajjii:
lol you are begging the north to call for disintegration, why dont you and your elders go ahead and disintegrate. So the almajiris control and dictate to you. You people are just slaves ,you can only talk and rant but you are lever less, you cant do shit. If the north want to leave Nigeria we can never beg Nyamiri people to help us, we will leave within a week. But here you are hoping that the north will let you go.

What is iyamiri? Is that the name of your god?
The fact is, you are the slave. we feed and clothe you. And we will continue to feed and clothe you till you die or agree to fend for yourselves as our slave that you are.
We are not yet tired of feeding you; our slave. You can let us know when you are ready to fend for yourselves though.

Exactly

Sagay212:
You are already useless..you are just waiting to be totally useless and forgotten. By the time the south stop patronising your useless foodstuff, I'm sure ya'll will go into full time terrorism, bombing yourselves to extinction as a result of frustration from extreme poverty.

guy, u wicked oo

helinues:
Act instead of making unnecessary ranting

"Action and reaction are even equal but opposite"

It's Like Newton saw the future that people will just be reacting on social media and not acting...

limeta:
Far from the truth
Oil made us abandon farming

Very few of you are farmers most of you are hunters, spare parts dealers, mechanics, electronic dev sellers, boutique runners, brewers, singers, hair dressers.

Arrewa:
it's possible

Go get sense oo, all dis food produce in rivers wont feed south for a single year, before you know u will starve and crawl to north for salvations, dats wen u will realise ur mistakes. If not bcoz slavery is against nature and islam, then i wuld invest in slavery business.

Arrewa:

Ordinary onions way we no supply go south for 2 days una cry up and down!


Okoro is from the north... You people don't have Okoro. "Kubewa"

You don't have onions!

Dont mind them, let dem listen to those nyamiri fellows dey will regret dia lives, igbo are d problems of dis country wallahi

adadike:
My next target is onions cultivation. To hell with their foodstuffs. Apart from onions and tomatoes what do we really need from them?

Keep lying to urselves. Goat, cow, rice, beans, maize. The issue is not dat u cant produce such items, even if you can it wont be enough to feed you for eternity.

NigerDeltaIgbos:
Lol, as if the foodstuffs coming down South is sent to us free of charge. Funny people, we dash them free oil money and they turn around to form Kingkong.

I don't blame you guys, rather I blame Southerners that have crab mentality, fighting each other instead of uniting to fight a common enemy.

Please stop sending foodstuffs down South and let's see who will suffer the consequences.

Nonsense!

See one ipob here, these are the problem in our country.

Bambambiglo:
I doubt you're from niger. Even if you are,you're from the minority that still ass licks the caliphate and you're inconsiquential

u can divide us Niger,nassarawa and kogi from northern Nigeria stop fooling ur self plz we ar de real notherns.

Naajjii:
Yes it a south East vs North, thats how we see it and will continue to see it. We are ok with SS and SW but NYAMIRI people never

guy allow dis people want to divide north wit dere religious sentiment not knowing dat north ar one by faith tell dem dere so called middle belt is impossible.

banio:

Lol.

Alliance with Islamic countries over that of your countrymen

Excuzeme:
May God hear your prayer for the quick dissolution of this country, as soon as possible though l know that it is the same Northerners that are using Fulani-dominated security Agencies to hold Nigeria together, speaking of Hypocrisy.


What you say, as bad as it is, is not far from the truth but l will tell you what is happening, things you fail to mention.
It is true that Southern Nigeria (SE, SS and SW) are almost exclusively reliant on the North for its food supply, especially since Buhari came to Power. This is not by accident, it is PLANNED

It is also true that it has not always been like this, Southern Nigeria has always been able to feed itself, in various degrees between the Regions because each Region has commodities it is specialised in producing.
There is YAM from the SE and SW, traded to the SS, there is Fish and Plantain from the SS, traded to SE and SW, there is Vegetables, Tomatoes, Okra, etc from the SW and SE, traded to the SS but all the above Products are available in EVERY REGION of Southern Nigeria, in varying quantities, Protein farming (Chickens, Piggery, Snail, Fish, Goats, Ram, etc) is also extensive in the South West, South South and South East so Southern Nigeria can sustain itself, without a dime of Product from the North and it has always done that in the past, before something happened and they started depending on food Supplies from the North.

The majority of the Cows coming from the North, are products of Niger Republic, Sudan, Chad and other Nomadic Countries in the Sahel areas of West Africa, not necessarily indigenous to Northern Nigeria.
The Majority of the Food that we assume come from the North, especially staples like Yam and Grains, come from the Middle Belt Region which "the North" likes to claim is part of Northern Nigeria but if you ask the people of Taraba, Plateau, Kogi, etc will tell you they are not Northerners.

Now, since Buhari came to Power, ln my opinion, some Jihadist Northerners having hijacked his Govt and being an Ethnic Bigot himself, a plan was hatched to prepare the North for a possible breakup of Nigeria. Buhari bought into this plan whole-heartedly and even a blind man can see that close to 90% of infrastructural developments, be it in Roads, Rail, Military, Agriculture, Education, Health, Foreign NGO participation, Power, etc, have gone to the North.
Even appointments are not spared, because Buhari and his Northern Cabals are working to a "Scheme and Plan".

This Scheme and Plan has a target conclusion of 2023, the life span of the Buhari administration but it is not fully concluded due to the global fall in price of Crude Oil (which funds over 80% of Nigeria's development and by so, the exclusive developments ongoing in the North but the Oil comes from the neglected Southern Nigeria!), the Northern Cabal will try to extend the Northern rule and completion of this Scheme, through Atiku! (That is why l weep for Southerners, most Igbos who are rooting for Atiku, you will be helping the Northerner to further enslave/destroy you, (whether you agree or not), this is not a matter of political affiliation but about Ethnic Genocide.

Someone has pointed out before that If the North wants to finish-off the South, it does not need to fire a bullet but will use Starvation to accomplish that goal and this post by @Arewa is a reflection of their thoughts.
It is commonsense that Starvation is a tool of warfare, though banned and illegal but you cant fight someone whose food you depend on or who controls the source of your food. So, you are already subdued before the fight even starts.
Southerners are not stupid and many Southerners know they are in a precarious position right now but the bigger Qiestion is HOW DID WE GET HERE?
The truth is that there is a deliberate and consistent effort to ensure that Southern Nigeria depends on food from the North, under this Buhari administration.
It is common knowledge that people hardly farm in Southern Nigeria, as of today, not because they dont love farming, not because they dont want to farm but because of FEAR OF BEING SLAUGHTERED BY FULANI HERDSMEN SENT TO ACHIEVE THIS SINISTER PURPOSE OF MAKING SOUTHERNERS DEPEND ON NORTHERNERS FOR FOOD.

It started when Buhari came to power and the Fulani Herdsmen suddenly started invading farms in Southern Nigeria, destroying their crops by feeding their Cows on the crops and then proceed to slaughter the Southern farmers! This is obviously a total eradication of the farming Culture and community in Southern Nigeria and the fact that these terrorists Fulani Herdsmen have gone on largely unchecked by the Fulani dominated Security Agencies, it is obvious that they must be working together to achieve their sinister scheme or forcing Southerners to depend on Northerners for food, so that when the times comes, the Northerners can squeeze the life out of Southerners, through Starvation.
Even if the South decides to start farming after that time (assuming they are able to protect their farms and farmers), it will still take at least one farming cycle, one year, to get the benefit of sucg, from basic farm products that are annuals.

The shame of this LOOMING TRAGEDY, especially now that Northerners are beginning to say it loudly, is that Leaders, Governors, Political Chairmen, Kings and Chiefs in Southern Nigeria are pretending that all is well and are not doing anything observable, except to try to selfishly fester their own financial empire, to reverse this strategy.

What the Northerners are doing is condemnable and completely evil, unbecoming of people that can share the same space with others in an amalgamated country, it is not strange, Northerners have always been about Power-Grab and Domination, nothing else but what the Southern Leaders are doing is even worse! Selfish and Greedy Leaders in the South dont care about their people, all they care about is their own pockets and political growth through servitude to Northerners! Take Tinubu, take Ameachi, take Ngige, take the Governors of Southern States, the Chairmen of LGA's, take the Obas and Ezes, what has any of these people done to ensure food safety and self-sufficiency in their states and kingdoms?
Which Governor in Southern Nigeria can actually feed its people, assuming that state was completely barricaded and no food enters?
It is even more true that the S/South are actually in a more precarious position, due to the destructive exploration of Crude Oil from their territory, money receipts from which Buhari concentrated exclusively on using to develop agriculture in the North!

When was the last time anyone heard that the CBN, under the titular leadership of a Southerner (Godwin Emefiele) approved $50Million, or #2Billion or some other amount, into investments in Animal Husbandry, Chicken farms, Crop Farming or any other form of Agricultural development in the South? That would be before Buhari became President but every week or the other, you will hear that the Federal Govt of Nigeria has taken a certain amount of LOAN from China, World Bank, Brazil, IMF, AFDB, etc, to finance projects exclusively in the North, like Rice farms, Power Projects, irrigation Projects, farming Inputs like fertilizer, Tractors, Seeds, etc.
Why must Crude money be taken from the South and used to exclusively develop the North, while threatening the South with Starvation, and our Leaders are all smiling to Abuja, stashing loot in foreign banks and prostrating for their Northern paymasters? Is that how to be De-tribalised?
Can you be claiming "De-tribalised" at the expense of your own people? Your people are being lined-up for "starvation and slaughter" and you are playing "Mr. Northern Pleaser", just for selfish Political and Financial gains!

The shame is on leaders of Southern Nigeria, the North can do this without their connivance.
But if the Leaders of Southern Nigeria would not act in the interest of Southerners (I know most of them have looted enough to have houses abroad, have Private jets and their family, if still in Nigeria, will jet put as soon as they hear pim), the Southerners, the ordinary people must take their fate in their own hands because what is coming will be mass genocide, on a scale that has not been seen in Nigeria before, the Civil war will be child's play, it wont spare any region in Southern Nigeria so no one should start feeling immune.... IF SOUTHERNERS DONT START ACTING STRATEGICALLY NOW BY FORCING THEIR LEADERS TO START MECHANISED AGRIC PROGRAMS AND PROTECT SUCH FARMS WITH NATIVE SECURITY TO REPEL THESE RAMPAGING, TERRORIST FULANI HERDSMEN.

Long Life Southern Nigeria, we shall not be enslaved or dominated, because we are a free people.

This is the unblemished truth, my OPINION and you dont have to agree with it, it changes nothing.

Thanks for this right up.

Let me ask you:
Who or which part of the Country are its Legislators opposing Restructuring right now?
Which part of Nigeria and its Dictators oppose secession or breakup?
Who are the People whose leaders are fighting and chanting "One Nijeria"?
When Ipob wanted to leave, where is the leader who sent soldiers to quench their agitation from?

See, l dont like Hypocricy, especially when it comes from someone who is not smart but thinks he is smart.

Meet your leaders and raise these questions before them if they are have a good mind they will answer you. Unity of this country is nothing but gathering of few dignitiries who shared what is not belong to them. Be honest, how many leaders in the East and South that are openly in support of the disintegration while holding an office in govt? We at the bottom are benefitting nothing that is why i dont care about the unity.
