A sound economist would have known what to do not all these trial & error these people are doing to our economy.

I agree! But no theory works for the Nigerian economy.

Even if it works in all the countries of the world. We the people are looking for ways to sabotage the system and there’s zero consequences for those doing it simply cos they are above the law, and arresting them could burn the country.

They need to put Prof Soludo and Sanusi on payroll as consultants.

No

Sweet Potato fed China into a superpower

Sweet Potato can feed Nigeria

Let us start planting Sweet potatoes massively


It can make Flour ,Garri,Fufu, noodles etc

And products like glue ropes,Sugar,dye,

Why go learn new things when we already have our tested and tried low cost crops here … cassava, corn are cheap and fast growing crops and can be used to make many things.

Israel still dey give this people hot hot. Why can't Allah deliver Gaza out of the hands of IDF?

This is kinda dumb. Yahweh didn’t deliver IDF, it’s the free American tax payers money and weapons at work. The women and children in Gaza are not the ones throwing rockets.

Hama is a terror group, yes! Hunt them! Not the ordinary Gazans.

Rolings:
You LIE
Israelis are very many all over northern Nigeria because generally Sunnis have little issue mostly historical against Jews and most Nigeria Muslims are Sunnis. Nigerian Muslims and Jews have no issue .
And FYI the war in Palestine is between Israel and Hamas and not Islam and Jews .....don't be surprised there are more Muslims in IDF than Christians even in the on going campaign

These baby analyst won’t learn now, they will still argue with you.

Islam and Jew are not at war. Infact, if there will be a religious war it would be Jew and Christianity. But this is a Hamas vs IDF war.

Main problem many people have with the war is the indiscriminate use of unguided missiles in population densed places and seem to everyone that it’s a genocide against the Palestinian people than it is for Hamas terror members.

My take is we need to learn from others so our agriculture is competitive.
Nigeria e.g is the highest producer of cassava in the world but our average yield per hectare of land is 11 tonnes compare to Thailand which is 20-25 tonnes.
There are similar figures across board and this can be attributed to several reasons but I will like to focus on CAPITAL/SCALE.
We need to understand that you need capital to achieve economies of scale.There are too many small players and we need consolidation so that we have cooperatives or companies

Take cassava specifically yield can be increased simply by ploughing the soil to make it less compact so that when the cassava grows it is not hindered by compact soil.
Mechanized ploughs are imported and costly and not cost effective for small farmers
Other issues are irrigation,fertiliser,were and pest control not to mention herdsmen.

To make serious money from cassava there is need for serious players with deep pockets that can put down tens of millions of dollars. Under the current herdsmen crisis that is a challenge
But we need to think.about yield which means capital and requires security

Did you know that countries with high yield per hectare are mostly the enablement of the government ? The deep pockets, the venture capitals heavily investing in farms are only cos the government guarantees steady sales.

For example, Cheese, corn, meats are example of foods on guarantee sales list in the US. Many countries practice this exact thing. It’s just a guarantee that, if you’re unable to sell the produce, we guarantee to buy the excess at xx amount per kilo or whatever.

We managed to push cassava and yam production high even when there’s extremely low yield. Have you imagined what happens if we get out yield level higher?

It’s more painful that we have everything we need in this country. Everything!

The government must involve the youth in agriculture.

And they must incentivize agriculture for youths to be attracted to it!

Give free land, provide tractors for rent or support financing option for them to acquire one, guarantee sales of their produce and watch how youths will flock the farming sector and crash the price of food.

This worked everywhere in the world! You must support agriculture and incentivize it! This is not rocket science. We will become a major exporter of produce in no time.

Cost of living in high in many western countries, but they incentivize agriculture, food is always dirty cheap. Also, no tax on any food stuff.

Those countries that have adopted the dollars as their national currency are not faring better either. Check out Zimbabwe, Ecuador, Porto Ricco, etc

Puerto Rico is part of US and did not adopt USD as its currency. It spends US dollar as being part of the US. And Biden is their president.

I’m confused here, these people he appointed… are they qualified or not ? Do they merit the position or not

Br4life:
lsrael is a pure country super power (br) stand with Israel

Stop taking drugs!!!

madridguy:
If you go to twitter, you will see this news from various sources 3-4 days ago before the strike yesterday.

You said the US begged Iran for many days for permission to strike, what you dropped here is another thing entirely.

Iran has publicly said they received no such request from the US so far…

Provide an evidence, how’s twitter a credible source of information?

madridguy:
After days of begging IRAN permission to strike.

You have any evidence of this?

Cos Iran has come out to deny any such communication with the US or any intermediaries.

StarRida:
The only lasting solution is to sack the current CBN governor he gat nothing to offer

Then Emefiele who managed CBN for the past 9yrs and Buhari should be sentenced to life imprisonment with extreme labor for covering up so much decay in the economy.

No senses at all.
Isreal has been existing over 2000 years ago

Calm down sir, that person is talking about the present day state of Isreal

Nigeria and its people have existed for over 2000 years but the British created the present day “Nigeria”.

Got the difference ?

Fineman2:
it's a lie, US and UK have been shielding Israel for decades by blocking every UN resolution calling for the establishment of Palestinian state.

UK and USA created Israel, they are the cause of everything that is happening now, they should clean the mess they created

Shielding, I agree.

But all US presidents except for Trump have pushed got the UN 2 state recommendation but Isreal always decline.

Gadafii:
So all the bombing isreal has been bombing Gaza the past three month they are yet to dislodge hamas for good, what a shame

Propaganda can’t be sustained for long,I don’t expect hamas to still be able to mount rocket attack into Israel, after the indiscriminate bombing of Gaza.

They killed everything in Gaza, except hamas

Yes, I agree! They disabled and destroyed everything but Hamas.

Is that the same Trump that wished for the economy to crash? So he could use that against Biden and blame him

Not the same Trump that’s lobbying against Republican congress men to not support Biden efforts on the border crisis, so he could be the one to do it if he wins

If he wasn’t a former president, he should be picked up to be questioned about his intel. He’s been wishing to much evil on America lately, so much for a former leader.

The US military broke and weak ? The dumbest post I’ve read this year lmao 🤣

Here’s the thing, it’s election year America does not want any senseless and direct war right now. That’s not about being broke.

A war with Iran directly means the whole ME will be on fire, why deliberately do that when there’s no internationally accepted reason to?

Lastly, when Trump killed Suleimani, the Iranians hit several US bases directly with cruise misiles, Trump decided to look the other way and not further escalate things just to avoid an unnecessary war.

The world is currently in bigger economic woes from COVID, we don’t need another war now that will disrupt the supply chain again.

There will be a response from Biden that I’m certain of, and the response will be strong in other for it to restore the American deterrence, also to boost his chances in the November election.

Never you call the US of A military broke again 😂😂😂

matify83:
This is the least of our problems as things stand.

They should do something practical about our dwindling purchasing power and naira devaluation.

These actions are geared towards fixing the problems you listed sir. Don’t be an ignorant sir!

His name should be on the Forbes list if the funds were legit. So, did he ever make it Forbes list ?

Ppogbae:
You can state all the reservations you have about Iran and their proxy activity in the Middle East, but to accomplish such large feats in technology while under sanctions is bloody impressive.

African countries have all the resources in the world and cannot even accomplish a tenth of such.

This is what I am thinking right now.

We Africans are not under sanctions yet Cuba has a free and better healthcare than us most African country, so much that it’s major export and source of forex is their doctors practicing abroad.

Iran has manage to keep growing their military and civilian tech, even their nuclear tech… despite being under sanctions, yet most African countries with all the natural and Human Resources it ever needed still can’t maintain stable electricity 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Biodun556:
Good!

What is good about that ?

Floky215:
While the likes of you is here cheering hamas on and thinking they are winning for Allah, they in gaza are begging the world on SM to look to their direction and help them end the war...!!

Hamas have been pushed to the souther zone of gaza now...the discuss now is how to attack and clean them out with minimal civilian casualties...!!

He’s only speaking facts and you’re quick to call him names What made you think he’s a Muslim ? Can’t you have straight up conversations without name calling people

How has he cheered Hamas by talking about the Establishment of the modern day Israeli state … you guys never seize to amaze me sha

ChristCee:

The last time Egypt fought Isreal, Isreal finished Egypt in 6 days. Back then Isreal was new, young and inexperienced. The Egyptians better behave otherwise Isreal will return their air force to level one again.

Back then Isreal might be new and young but its IDF are not inexperienced. Majority of Israeli citizens are Europeans and Americans, so many already had military trainings.

It’s kinda insulting to Isreal to call them inexperienced. They’ve always has free access to unlimited cash, weapons and trained men.

Eriokanmi:
I wonder what this guy is still doing there despite the obvious. He has good ideas yes, but nobody is above the law. He really disappointed many, including my humble self.

How did you know that you’re humble ?

Majority of Yorubas do not support the Yoruba nation nonsense. Sunday Igboho is a political jobber for PDP, he can’t wake up one day and become non-political.

We don’t believe in any Yoruba nation, we believe in the One Nigeria project!

If worse come to shuffle, and the country get splitted, everybody will be doing just fine. Every region of this country is blesssed.

Gainman:
Tell me where u condemn hamas attacjs on Isreal on Oct 7.

I have never supported the Hamas terror attack on 7th in anyway shape or form. See my comments.

Nor do I support the blockade and bullying that the Israeli forces subjected the people of Gaza and West Bank to over the years

My stand is, Hamas is the armed group, chase and find them not sporadic bombing using unguided weapons on civilian populations.

Us, Russia all fought and still fighting urban war fare, they are not bombing everything in their way, they managed to have minimal casualties.

Women and children are the the ones throwing rockets to Isreal are they

Now tell me when you’ve condemned the Israeli blockade and killings of the Palestinian people for years before Oct 7th

These days I’ve seen 27yrs olds having fertility issue. Gone are those days when age was the only factor, our diet has also been messed up too.

Do a fertility test to see where you both are, and take it from there.

God1000:
he doesn't owe me anything but I find it a bit disrespectful.

Disrespectful because the president of another country sent one of his top cabinet member your country … too much entitlement. Even the Middle East that supply alot of oil to the world are not having this expectations.

God1000:
Is Joe Biden too big to visit Africa himself? He hasn't done so since he came to power, he keeps sending his secretary of state to Africa.

Meanwhile he has traveled to several Asia and european countries

Blinken has been traveling within the Middle East for the past 3 weeks, I guess Biden should have been doing all that traveling himself according to you?

Nothing exclusive abt business class or any seats on Air plane, except the fact they all seating NEXT TO DEATH cos if they hear kpikin dey all gone.
More so, one don't spend others money if you can't spend yours or own such.



Don't be judgmental MR, I never told you I can't fly it. If u read my last paragraph and can comprehend, you can lavish only what you own.
Will you because of the Risk not getting to work, not go to WORK? THATS LIFE for YoU , we do what we gat to Do, RISK EVERYWHERE even though u see it!

I’m not being judgemental you’re the judgemental one here. That statement is typical of what someone who hasn’t been in a business would say.

No point justifying other peoples decision on death lol, some prioritize the comfort and experience over just getting to their destination with body aches.

If plane crashed everybody dies, same applies to a private jet. But that’s not a justification to judge those that fly it.

I believe pipeline are already build for some, moreover you can always use ships , it might be a short distance but it has it's benefits .

You’re overthinking it lol, a pipeline won’t replace the work of truck tankers, and either you like it or not there will be traffic in that corridor at lease for now.
