God punish local farmers,, they should all fold up and burn to hell if they don't want to produce... This people are the bedrock of food inflation in this country... Enable competition so that they will calm down a little..

local farmers are not the problem. The middlemen are. Misplaced priority

tctrills:
Then sack the ghosts and pay people what they deserve. Or is anyone against the sacking of ghost workers?

everyone is claiming real worker and so the ghost workers are blending in nicely.

tctrills:
You mean the output of a teacher or a nurse in a federal institution is worth less now than 10 years ago?

that one combined with the ghost workers. The average.

How long did it take to pre fabricate the components?

A modern car assembly plant makes a car under 45 minutes. The main task is not putting the parts together. It’s in building the components and that takes time.

Give it to them. A tailor doest include time of fabric production into his target. They quote you the time it takes to put the pieces together. Even regular buildings too use blocks and plywood, all premade stuffs.

This talk of worth is useless in a sense. What is the output of a worker worth?

Laple0541:
But for over 2 decades of promotion, the local production have not been able to meet even 20% of our demands. For now a bold decision is required to address food crisis and this is laudable till we are able to re-strategize.

subsidy is gone for good was a bold statement not matched with preparation.

DeepSight:
RepoMan007 are you into organ harvesting.

No stop watching too many movies. I have seen the movie too.

DeepSight:
Let's even leave those who argue about the subsidy for now. What was the urgency with floating the naira?

Govt lacked the forex supply or inflow to match demand for forex and when forex is artificially cheaper than it should be, demand is bound to be higher. It had to go. Another effect was a falls sense of economic growth and size it created. Dividing by N800 to a dollar made us the largest in africa but in reality we should be dividing by around N1500 to a dollar which has pushed us to 4th largest. It also pushed out rich men off the rich list to their actual positions.

Menclothing1:
Why can’t all state gov invest in massive agricultural production

that doesnt present them a healthy stealing window. Flyover and overhead bridges are better for that purpose.

DeepSight:
This is the very first action I am seeing being taken to suggest that the government has any intention of addressing the hardship in the country. Let's see how it goes. Many more steps are needed, yes, including the partial return of subsidy and the "unfloating" of the naira.

we are suppose to avoid subsidy and floating of naira but in the face of wastage being perpetrated by the govt, that's hard thing to not do.

2. The import duty and other tariffs on the following items are hereby suspended for a period of six months:

Let's see how it goes. Planting window is still open.

Laple0541:
Good idea, though it will affect our local production, but it’s the right step for now. The local farmers need to brace up and the government needs to improve and guarantee the security of farmers.

Nigeria will be great again.

local goods cannot compete as it is, so lowering the entry barrier for alternatives will kill local production faster.

Error. That leaves the gap between imported and locally produced food narrower than ever and will increase demand for forex causing weaker naira to drive local price equivalent of imported food up again.

Give local farmers one extra reason to want to produce more.

Your clock is not standing upright. That would have allowed for estimation using angles between 12/0 dial to resolve the hour, minute, and second hands.

After using the two closest dials to 12:00 point to resolve and see which makes most sense, I arrived at 2:50 (AM/PM).

Going clockwise from the usual 12:00 point, the first clock hand is hour, followed by second hand, then the minute hand.

Something all his aides can build one each every two months.

Only the north is enjoying to some extent if we are to be honest. They are the food basket of the nation so eat before thinking of selling food.

muykem:
Let us be realistic. Political appointment is not employment. It's just for little time, no pension, no retirement benefits.

same for labourer in construction site and farm labour. Nonsense!

ChybuzzDD:
Haa, who wrote this or are my eyes and brain paining me
Nawaoo

He did because he want appointment close to Oga. That's the game.

zombieHUNTER:
Did someone hijack this account

someone hijacked his appointment so he blamed those close to Tinubu for not telling him the "truth" he specializes in derailing here.

Blaze14k:
Bros I thought you were at the forefront of tinubus campaign what happened ?

that madridgay is only scheming to go and eat close to Tinubu and not opposing Tinubu. He heaped the blame of his lamentable post on those closest to him. Those are the APC guys who got juicy appointments and left him and hellanus to be hustling towards 2027.
You don't understand politicians.

Crimecity:
Tinubu has finished this country oo.

I saw this at Oja Oba!


They now have to break yam it into pieces for it to be affordable to them.

This is what the likes of Toyin Abraham is using to catch cruise? Saying it’s her choice? Instead of apologizing to Nigerians who she misled to vote for this unbelievably reckless government, she’s there threatening people.

Do you know what it means for people to be so poor to the extent of not being able to afford one tuber of yam?

Nigerians are literally dying but to some people, they want to stick to their “choice” at the expense of the nation.

Just admit that you’re wrong with your choice. Apologies and call out these heartless people you voted for.

stop being stupid sir. Every problem is not a function who is in power. Some are structural and others are cultural. The man in office hasn't forced you governors not to invest heavily in agric like Kebbi or Gombe is doing. They are all doing flyover and overhead bridges so they can easily take their lion share and have some that looks huge to commission.

Sad. How will farming pickup if the political bandits can do and undo so brazenly?

Bloggers should remember the reputation of those they always try to sell their stories with.

TGBTG. TO GOD BE THE GLORY.

Segzy19:
No one asked you for lecture here please. Go find your fellow mumus to lecture. Mr lecturer

Go and consult familiar spirits Oga.

Segzy19:
Just look at this one? So na you go lecture Dangote on the difference between revenue and profit abi..
Stop embarrassing yourself, please

it is your thick skull I am lecturing an not Dangote.

muykem:
You are part of Nigeria problem.

how o?

That's what happens in a chaotic country of little order. Poverty is inspiring bad habits to negate development.

Gajagojo:
You assume you are the only person that has sense? Preventer of assumption. Wisest man in Nairaland
Other people cannot figure that out?
The title is clear
A ko ni ri ogun unnecessary and foolish explanation
Everybody know say sardine na fish
No need for explanation

You are talking based on you own assumption that assumes something about my comment.
Very senseless way to think.

Almaiga:
Bad belle people don show

I only stated to prevent assumption that he is making that much as profit.
No vex o, Dangote FC fan club.

Subsidy is alive.

Revenue is not profit o.
