You can hardly hear from any of them about resource control. The farmers will start going against the so called union because they are loosing out big time and they have no means of diversity in business.

I hate it when a set of people will decide to commit suicide due to ego. Now let's face facts:

1. North claims to have up to 100 million people.
2. There are only few industries.
3. Very little commerce.
4. Very little or no IT penetration.
5. The region has very little storage facilities.
6. The region relies basically on agriculture.
7. 87% of Northerners are living in abject poverty.
8. Millions in the region are currently displaced and starving.

Check the facts above and tell me if this guys are not suicidal. It takes a matter of days for perishables like tomatoes, onions, cucumber etc to go to waste. So, how are the majority of Northerners who rely on proceeds from agriculture going to survive?

For Southerners, let's look at the facts below:

1. A man with money who couldn't afford to buy cow meat can decide to buy pork, fish, goat, 404, or chicken etc.

2. A woman that wants to cook stew can decide to use only tin/canned tomatoes, use very little or even no onions, use factory processed oil etc and still cook a delicious stew! On the alternative, Igbo people have a stew they call ofe akwu, a stew that is delicious and nutritious that is cooked basically with palm oil.

3. Plaintains, yams, cassava, cocoyam, vegetables etc are produced in the South and these are the staple foods consumed in most parts of the South.

In this scenario above between Southerners and Northerners, who are the ones going to suffer more with the so-called food embargo?

There has been claims that these foods are being moved to neighbouring countries, but smart people know that's a big lie! Which neighbouring countries please? Benin to our West are even looking for who will buy theirs, Cameroun to our East have enough locally grown foods for them and with a relatively small population can't buy up to 5% of what the North is selling! To our North we have not just two of the world's poorest countries in Chad and Niger but they also have tiny population that can't buy up to 5% of what is grown in Northern Nigeria, so who are the ones buying??

The North already has 87% poverty rate which is among the worst in the world, what is currently going on could make an already terrible situation to spiral out of control.

Wahala is when your supposed enemy is advising you with so much care and concern about your welfare

The union chairman already said they're ready to bear the losses as its a small price to pay compared to their dear lives.

So why all this appealing and begging to reason with you? Why not reason with them since you're so concerned about their welfare and condition of their goods?



Ah Ahn... See love... Observing in 4D.
