I will still blame the education sector for the foolishness of Nigerians

1) the cost of rice increase because of the value of Nigeria, and that's no buhari's fault, tell ur rich dad or uncle to go to kebbi and build a rice processing plant and make cool cash

2) blaming Buhari for tomatoes?? Why not praise him for onions supply?? Our tomatoes farm was attacked, sha earlier this year I bought tomatoes the cheapest I have bought in my life . . Please if u have money try greenhouse tomatoes farming it's pays ( once I get cash am going into it)

3) as for garri, that's a simple economics, a ton of cassava chips is reported at $300 - $400, and with the current Nigeria value it pays more to use cassava for chips than garri processing and the government can't stop the export cos we need the forex... or what would u have the farmers do? ?
Not given him an excuse also but the above accusations are baseless


Before you continue ranting, answer this basic questions: In the last one year, what investment has Buhari government made in agriculture other than shut down the country under the pretence of looking for saintly minister? Do you reap where you have not sown? If no investment has come in, do you expect an upturn or downturn? A planting season is one year for most arable crop and the writeup said the country had almost lost one year of inactivity from government. Instead of you to read well you are ranting, talking nonsense. Which responsible government waste precious and valuable time like your president? Time they say is precious, time you lost they say you might never recover. Remind your bubu that to hasten up and stop running the nation like his beer parlour. What worth doing worth doing on time.

As if their time wasting is not enough, they came out and said they will soon also remove fertilizers' subsidy. Deluded people!

Fertilizer is the main and most expensive ingredient for farmers.So if you don't understand it's importance in the value chain you should used Google to find out,or ask any farmer you know.
Let me give you an example of epic nonsense, there is no single textile working in this country for more than 15 years and that also means cotton farming is dead.

.I think FG should find a way of encouraging young school leavers to invest their energy in agriculture by providing enabling environment. While energy is been focus on beautification of cities and solving the transportation that comes due to overpopulation,A go back to farm initiatives should be launch through strategic plans and careful study of the largest food and commodities production centres, villages or communities in each state should be mapped out, construct a good road network that link such places to the major towns and supply them with hybrid seeds of a greater yields and less time consuming growing time. While tomatoes become gold in nigeria I am quiet sure there are still some places in the country in which it goes rotten by the hour but such places is either not motorable or nowhere to be found on google map.
Supported, agriculture requires innovation and only young educated minds can help us get it right.

And some people will come here and defend him that he wants to diversify when;
He allocated 1.6% to agriculture.
He allocated money to search for crude in Chad basin.
He became minister of petroleum, why not agriculture.

At least, Jonathan did something and it affected our Agricultural sector positively, bringing down the prices of foodstuffs and enabling the poor masses afford three square meals. He even eliminated middle men in those areas of fertilizer distribution thereby ensuring that the fertilizers gets to the farmers.

He also set up programs like YouWiN that sponsored many Agro biz and biz ideas. His minister back then was young, vibrant and a great achiever. What has the economic assassin done in the Agric sector order than bringing in an old and expired man like him to take that once booming sector back to square 1?

Huh?

If you wanted to hear President Buhari's name, then you come late.. grin

Fertilizer is very key in farming. But providing subsidized fertilizer is not the meaning of Agricultural revolution which was touted by the previous administration.

Revolution is when you can travel from Lagos to Kano and all you are driving through is Acres on Acres of Farms. From Livestock to Crop farms.. Make Fertilizers Available (maybe subsidize it sef), but just providing fertilizers is not enough to call it a revolution. grin


Cotton Farming does not have to die because of lack of Textile milling factories, thats like saying Crude Oil exploitation is dead because we dont have a single functional Refinery or that Cocoa farming is dead becuase we barely have up to 3 Chocolate companies in Nigeria.. grin


If you answer that question you asked or explain it, I can better indulge you.

hehehehehehee..

Are you selling facts or lies and propaganda?

Keep telling yourself that poor masses could afford 3 square meals on an 18,000 Naira Minimum wage.. grin That is a pure propaganda and lie because you have absolutely to facts nor studies or statistics to back your claims. Like the guy you quoted pointed out, the cheapest Tomatoes has been in over 10 years was earlier this year. That's how come my mum was able to have 2 bags of frozen Tomatoes in her fridge. But I don't expect you to countenance that.. Propaganda sounds better than facts. grin

YOUWIN.. Just a few weeks back, there was a show on the Radio (Call-in) and people talked about the YouWin scheme and how it was fraught with corruption and how it was easier for a Camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it was for a young Nigerian Entrepreneur to access YouWin Funds.. grin


But Its okay... Jonathan is the Best, Buhari is the Devils Elder brother.. grin #That Sounds better.

No government cultivate; they only need to provide incentives and conducive environment to stimulate others to do so. Rather than your own people to do that, they choke and kill off those incentives. They create fear, despondency and neck-breaking controls that discourage those who would have hitherto cultivate.

Jonathan did not make any noise and he kept the price of rice uniform at N8,000 to N9,000 during Christmas.

Imagine that the first policy Audu Ogbeh wants to implement in his ministry is the removal of subsidy from fertilizer.

Who will dash this administration some sense ? Insincerity of purpose is their major problem.

Until the Federal Government recognizes the desire of the passionate, able-bodied, young ladies and gentlemen who are in their youthful age and are ready to venture into agriculture by supporting them with the necessary encouragement in form of credit facility, subsidized imputs, and an enabling environment, that Federal Government will always score low in agriculture, employment, gross domestic product, and the like. Rather, they will only score high in crime rate, corruption, child trafficking, Internet fraud, and the like. I believe that after working for the next five years, I will be able to gather enough capital to start my own agri-business as I am a graduate that studied agriculture. I won't wait for this deceitful government.
