Agriculture › Re: FEC Bans Foreigners From Purchasing Agricultural Produce At The Farm Gate by Sanchez01(m): 8:11pm On Mar 09, 2022

AZeD1:
So a farmer that should make N1000 will now make N600 because we have a stupid government?

Nigerians about to learn a very hard lesson on "markets".

NO!

Here's how it works: A farmer's produce is worth N2,500, foreigners buy for N10,000 to ward off local competitors. Farmer is happy and then goes home believing he has made some good profit.

Originally, the unit price of the produce should be N5 per produce but since foreigners own the produce now, they set the price to N40 per produce, making an insane profit of N35 per produce. But it doesn't stop there. The foreigners price will always create a ripple effect:

1. Wholesalers buy from foreigners and add their profit to the N40 produce, say they add N2 and sell for N42 per produce to retailers.
2. Retailers then add their profit (say N2-3) as well and sell for N44-N45 to final consumers.
3. The same farmer who was paid N10,000 originally will now discover that his money is useless because a ripple effect has taken place and affected other market commodities. He also joins others to complain about how bad Nigeria is without understanding that he is responsible.

The monopoly foreigners have on the market is unrivalled. And since local buyers buy at the farm gate, they do not have the balls to peg insane amounts on the produce bought at the farm gate.

Bobloco:
Can someone please share some light about this

In simple terms, farm Gate means direct access to farmers and their produce.

Foreigners buying from them means:

1. The foreigners control the market price.
2. Farmers can be easily be persuaded into ignoring our local buyers since foreigners can easily pay more and then monopolize the produce.
3. Foreigners are only seeking to exploit the market.

With this, local buyers will no longer live in fear of competing with foreigners who are only out to exploit the market.

Direct local buyers mean uniformed prices and possibly less inflated prices.

And I am even beginning to question their nuclear abilities. This Ukraine war has exposed their weaknesses a lot. The west is learning a lot from this war and if I were Putin, I would be very worried.

Indeed! A world power wouldn't even jump into a war the way Putin did, if their claim about Russia is true. There are actually concerns by war analysts that Putin may have been slapped into a corner at the moment and could go nuclear at any time since things are not exactly going his way. He has already threatened that and so far, the US, amongst its allies, seems to be the only nation bracing up for a nuclear war.

Currently, there are over 60 global businesses that have either suspended operations in Russia or divested. The United States is having a field day, without a doubt and their unseen hand is obvious. Russian comms are not functioning in Ukraine and that has left Russian troops confused. Nuclear apart, given Russia's current hardware state, I doubt it can take on big single nations in NATO. I strongly doubt it.

But why is Russia sending her top military personnels to the battle field? Isn't that a flawed military strategy? Is this how they will fight NATO? Russia seems to be just another glorified shit hole with nuclear capabilities.

It seems Putin instructed all of them to enter the battlefield and not stay in their offices. Ukrainian soldiers are being killed, without a doubt but the way Russian warlords and veterans are being killed is alarming. It goes on to tell you that Russia is noisy, no war strategies and the only strength it has is its nuclear arsenal. Take that away and you'd see that Russia is just a horse on paper.

Russian hardware are so old that their tyres are falling off during invasion. It seems Russia kept all the hardware left behind by the USSR, claimed them and thought it was enough to become a super power. The way and manner Ukrainians are seizing hardwares is troubling.

The only mighty thing Russia has now is nuclear. Clusterf**k indeed.

Standard keyboard light.

Last year, na 270k I buy the fairly used one. Up till now, it's a wao. If fact, na machine.
It's DELL Inspiron laptop precisely.
Battery life:
Heavy usage 3 to 4 hours like connected to internet and making live Tutorials.

Not heavy usage like reading or coding 8 good hours.

This is actually a gaming laptop but works well for coding.

The Russian economy is fast dying. The sanctions are too weighty and there is a reason Russia is throwing a fit. As of last week, the Russian Rubble was N4.6 or so. Today, it is N2.98.At this rate, the Nigerian Naira might be stronger than the Russian Rubble by next week or this weekend.

It's a strategy. Whether sports, finance, production, sales or marketing, the idea of cutting off Russia is to spark a home crisis.

The US always parade itself as world police and peace-keeper, but they choose to pump more weapons into Ukraine. What exactly are they hoping for? That Ukraine will defeat Russia? This is not a case of David and Goliath, but a case of a tiger and a sick dog. Ukraine will be wiped off the map if Russia choose to invade. Right now its "demilitarisation" and "denazification" Putin is after.

I don't understand the media really. How can Ukraine be winning when the Ukrainians are fighting the Russians in Ukraine not Russia? Can Nigeria be said to be winning a war with Cameroon if Cameroonian tanks are in Abuja? And Nigerians fleeing as refugees? How it is possible that Ukrainians ain't seeing how the west is playing with their destiny? Is Zelensky this stupid?

Dude, it's Monday morning. The amount of nonsense heaped into this one post is alarming!

At the emboldened, Russia already invaded Ukraine.

Kyiv is the capital of Ukraine and last I checked, Kyiv is 100% in the hands of Ukraine. Zelensky, as a matter of fact is in Ukraine and so far, Russia has not captured any of Ukraine's regional cities but you created a sharp contrast using Cameroon, Nigeria and Abuja.

So 'denazification' led to Russia invading Ukraine? I'll be damned!

How is Ukraine not winning when its capital and regional cities are still in their hands and when their enemy is supposedly bigger and larger?

Inputting is not necessary. Just watch on instead of this posts which somehow sheds light in your thought process. Just stop.

Today, tribal leaning far overrides religious leaning.
What's d point of voting a fellow christian who doesn't even bother to hide his hatred for you and sees you less than human when you have a moslem who doesn't?
In 1993, a muelim-muslim ticket defeated a Muslims christian combo, and if it happened 30 years ago, there's even a greater chance of it happening now due to d d over-polarized nature of our political space!

A Hausa christian won't mind voting a Muslim (Hausa or not) who will protect his interest than a fellow Christian who is unpredictable. Ditto yorubas.
Brah, things don change!

Right now, Nigeria is more ethno-sensitive than religion sensitive.

I don't exactly understand the era you live in but 'ethno' is not exactly isolated in Nigeria. "Ethno-religious" whatever is what plagues Nigeria and Buhari, more than ever, did well to divide Nigerians along these lines. Other than the fact that half of the country are Christians, its politics will still creep in. I don't see a Muslim/Muslim ticket flying and that makes Tinubu's ambition dead on almost arrival, other than his incontinence, slurred speeches and hand tremors.

Buhari's camp is said to be tipping Osinbajo for good reasons known to Buhari. Muslims in politics are largely extremists, be it from the North or South and it would be too much of a gamble to have the president and vice as Muslims when there is the topical issue of Hisbah, Hijab and Shariah. Believe me, it can't fly.

He can also strike a deal to get that taken care of...

PostScript: Buhari is unpredictable. He might decide not to intrude in the general election thereby eliminating the so-called power of incumbency. He has done it in some instances and nothing suggests that he might not pack his bags and baggages and head to Daura instead of worrying himself with a successor...

The emboldened does not apply in Nigerian politics. Only a fool would agree such terms with a politician who desperately want power.

I think you are missing out a key figure and that is Nyesome Wike. The only person capable of tearing the PDP apart this time is Wike and I strongly believe he will do so, considering the fact that he doesn't like Atiku.

Except there is a Christian North Easterner waiting, I don't see how Tinubu will get the ticket. A Muslim/Muslim or Christian/Christian can't fly in a religious sensitive country as ours.

You're deflecting here. The question is whether or not Russia looks weak. Russia has every reason to be worried about Ukraine joining NATO but a major reason why the world condemns Russia now is that Ukraine is a sovereign nation, just as Russia and the invasion is appalling because it is happening in the 21st century.

Russia truly appear weak. Very weak, as a matter of fact and the events of the past seven days show it. Putin has flouted every rule of Sun Tzu's book, including that of Robert Greene. All that is left is to throw fits and threaten nuclear.

The EU and NATO can't move close until Ukraine is absorbed into NATO and can't certainly do so now because of Russia's nukes. Countries with nukes are best approached with caution and that is what is at play here.

Other than that, Russia looks awfully weak. An invasion that has taken 7 days already tells a lot about the invader's strength.

If Putin was working with them, all these would not have come up, he went to steal Crimea because of natural resources he will sell, now NATO is at his doorstep, we are waiting for nuclear weapons to be released.

I have read so many opinions from different people ascribing some sort of intelligence to Putin, claiming he knows what he is doing and my response remains the same — Putin has lost this war already, even though he might end up winning the battle. Neighbouring countries such as Sweden and Finland will run towards NATO for protection, seeing what Ukraine is going through. The Baltic States long joined and all Russian neighbours excluding Belarus must be thinking the only way they can be protected is to join forces with the West.

Putin was supposed to romance border states and every Eastern Europe State but his myopic view and ego failed to help present some better alternatives of getting those countries around Russia to fall in line.

The sanctions and how the Russian currency plunged just a day after the sanctions go a long way into telling you Russia and Putin didn't see all of these coming.

Russia is basically saying they would explore the option of nuclear if second talks fail. Russia knows Ukraine is acting the United States script and the former is desperate to negotiate and let everything rest but Ukraine's stubbornness means prolonged sanction, strong unification of allies and greater chances of NATO soaking in Ukraine, even without Crimea.

Russia is greatly troubled.
