Former aviation minister, Femi Fani Kayode has reacted to the blocking of food supplies from Northern Nigeria to Southern Nigeria by the Almagamated Union of Foodstuff and Cattle Dealers in Northern Nigeria, IgbereTV reports.

Taking to his Twitter handle, he wrote;

Members of the Amalgamated Union of Foodstuff and Cattle Dealers of Nigeria across the Northern part of the country have begun blocking trade routes to the South by stopping food item-laden trucks from going south. They have started diverting their goods and all consumables to the neigbouring countries of Niger Republic and Cameroon, IgbereTV has learned.

Truckloads of food items from the northern part of the country were on Friday stopped by northerners from entering Kwara State and neighbouring states in the South West.

They had earlier issued a seven-day ultimatum to the Federal Government for N450 Billion compensation to the union for the death of over 250 members and destruction of their properties or face a strike action.

The union alleged that 151 of its members were killed during the Shasha crisis in Oyo State while over 100 members were killed during the ENDSARS protest across the country.

I always wonder how the norths thinks...


Always bragging about their foodstuffs as if they are giving it to us for free...


By the time their perishables will start rottening then will they appreciate the South.

FFK....Reactance.....Reno.... Capacitance.

This issue of south and north is a case of Stupidity taken too far.

Benue transporting their foodstuffs to different states, are they not northern state? Same as Taraba and good people of plateau state.

What I read is that north blocked transportation of food to South west after their union had a meeting.

Is South west now the new name for South If we may ask?

They blocked their foodstuff, if you have oil block it from reaching them than shouting south up and down and dragging others enjoying relative peace to a communique that has nothing to do with them...

Stop wasting time Reacting , turn off the valve of the oil than shouting South to other regions who are sleeping against tomorrow's Sunday service because the gate of hell will never prevail against the church.

Monogamy:


Mr, If northerners can transport their goods to other neighboring countries, don't you think Southern Nigeria can also purchase their food items from neighbouring country?

One thing that these ignorant folks don’t understand is that Southern Nigeria is really the market for these farm produce because of high purchasing power.

I laugh when they say they are exporting to Niger, Cameroon, Chad and Senegal. I am into agro commodities and I work with the Chinese, we buy sesame seeds, soya beans and groundnuts from the West African markets, and I can boldly tell you that most of these farm produce are cheaper in all the above listed Countries. So where are they exporting to?

Livestocks are far more cheaper in Cameroon,Chad and Niger than in Northern Nigeria, that is why places like Ilella in Sokoto, Mai Adua in Katsina, Geidam in Yobe, Biu in Borno, all have livestocks at cheaper rates, most of their stocks are from the neighboring countries.

I can guarantee you that this threat of cutting supplies to the South will not last more than two weeks, cheaper alternatives are many. If it persists ,Cameroon and Benin will be the gainers.

Dpharisee:
The northerners said they are blocking food supply to the SW, they didn't say SE or SS but the Yorubas want to entangle the whole South in the messy situation with the northern traders.
If the northerners had said South East we would have 25 topics on FP by now with different headings on the same issue telling us how Igbos lost the civil war and Igbos should leave Lagos as a solidarity song with the North

FFK Always talking nonsense.

The south does not own oil, the federal government owns the oil unlike the food, hardworking Northern farmers are the owner under a cooperative system, the cooperative can decide to transport their produce somewhere else and it wont affect their pocket.

There are lot of buyers of farm produce from northern Cameroon, senegal, mali, niger and chad. The revenue they make from these markets alone is more than the revenue from the southern market in Nigeria
