I thought OP has never believed any story coming from premium times especially since they started reporting eyewitness stories from endsars victims. How come all of a sudden you have started believing their lies? People of double standards.

Arewa1stSon:


Oga stop lying... Information reaching us from ibadan is that people can no longer afford to eat!

Stop trying to concoct lies to massage your ego!!

The effect of the strike never even start yet... Make the food way dey store finish!!

Una go buy one single tomato #700
Rice 5k for half penter!!

Beans una no fit even buy that one!

Meat will be only meant for the elite

Cos as it is now one cow is now 2 million!


Meanwhile somewhere in Arewa

Why cry for the bereaved, when you have been told the dead child has woken up.
Information reaching you when people on ground are telling you the reality of things, but because of your religiously wicked and sadistic evil heart you chose to believe a narrative with false line.

Wickedfacts:


How many of you can afford to eat chickens in the North?

During the lockdown when movement out of the North was restricted, Poultry farmers in the North were throwing their eggs away. Their customers are those with money in the South.

We dont eat chicken in the north.

We eat, cow, sheep, ram and goat

Have you ever eaten sheep and goat suya before?

Some stupid sellers too will want to make life unbelievable for others using this as a means to milk others .

alasane:
dem say NORTH na parasite......just the beginning "neva chi chumtin"

It was only a matter of time.

The truth has no hiding place.

Anyway I am still awaiting reports from the field so I reserve my comment .

BOTH SIDES WILL SUFFER IT BUT WHO IS GONER SUFFER MORE...THE POOR MASSES AND THE FARMERS..

The poor would find alternatives like egusi and palmoil, fishes and chicken (in small portions). Humans always find a way to adapt to survive.

It's the farmers that are taking a beating especially those farmers of perishables like vegetables, onions and peppers.

Iamgrey5:
Rural dwellers don't mean they have to live in mud houses and I never said they eat those meat everyday.

it means coupled with your ignorance you also have comprehension problem.

Apparently you the one that have that comprehension problem.

Didn't you just bragged tha people in the villages eat chickens and goat meat only.

Most of the houses in the villages in the west are mud houses

osuofia2:

Omodasola Yusuf, Iyalaje of Olodo market, said rice, beans, and other goods have been very difficult to purchase due to the blockade.

“Dry pepper that was sold for N700 five days ago is now N1,000,” she said.

“We urge the government to help us and ensure that there is unity in Nigeria so that everyone will not die of hunger.”

They are now begging, Good we are treating their fukk up, they must get sense by force, Lets see how they will eat their most cherish Kpomo, Shaki, Round about. The earlier they realize that the North is the region feeding Nigeria the better. They can drink their oil if they want.
God bless The North

You better get this, the south can easily adjust. Many are already adjusting by switching to alternatives

The guy is daft, u need to see their villages in North, fear go catch u

Yeah poor masses will suffer not farmers.

Most farmers are on contract with the wholesalers.

The wholesalers will be affected.

Lol, it only takes 3 months to grow tomato and peppers and we have already started growing. In just a few months we will have our own tomatoes while you poor, wretched, scum will continue suffering from your poverty and wretchedness. Stupid people.

Bornu1stSon:
By the time we are done with You guys, you will know the real lords in this country.

We own the oil and also The food, All hail the Caliphate. Look at how helpless the south look even though as I speak now, oil is being mined in Niger Delta to fund Agriculture in north.

Una go get sense by fire by force.

The poor would find alternatives like egusi, garri and palmoil, fishes, local goats and fowls (in small portions). Humans always find a way to adapt to survive.

It's the farmers that are taking a beating especially those farmers of perishables that can rot like vegetables, onions and peppers. They might not be able to recover from the loss.

Same shit China does to Canada, US and other western countries. When China (customer) boycotts farm produce from the west, the farmers start crying.

Since you know everything high price things in those areas. Is it the reason that cause the high price of fuel too

LESSON: Every state and region in Nigeria should pay attention to agricultural development. This strike exposed the good gap. Imagine what a drought situation in the North would do to agricultural products availability in the rest of Nigeria.
OPPORTUNITIES: SE, SW and SS should exploit its agricultural and marine resources to the full for food security and employment. There is no reason why poultry and fishery products should not be competing with beef.
THREATS: This deliberate food blockade by Northern agricultural product traders is an unfortunate precedence that might be used to justify a lot of things that will shake the unity of Nigeria in future.
The non-intervention of FG is a failure of government because if Niger Delta militants decides to protest the allocation of oil well to Norherners, it will be justified.
REALITY: Whoever is aggrieved has the right to show his grievance. The losses during EndSars protests and the recent bloody fallout of market ledership problem in Oyo State market provided an opportunity for Northern agricultural products traders to make a point. They have made their point that but like EndSars protest organizers, they are overstretching the show of grievance into act of sabotage and punishment with far-reaching consequences.
MISTAKE: It is a mistake for agricultural products traders to make its strike action appear like protest in support of excesses of Fulani herdsmen is a big mistake. Traders issue and herdsmen issue are two different things.

You are shying away from the point.
The oil you talked about belongs to the gvt.
The food stuffs belongs to individual northern Biz men, so,federal govt can't do anything. Assuming the fed govt has agricultural food pyramids used for exports like G/nut, beans etc then, it your assertion wwill

Exactly, they think south will starve because they refused to bring tomatoes and onions, just imagine the nonsense

This one pain me.

You don't understand anything honestly.

Go and check the definition of "Rural dwellers"

Even those living in town can still be Rural dwellers sir as long their areas is not urban with all the basic infrastructure.

OgaJonah:
Wahala for who no Like NORTH

What a pitiable mentality.
People who impact the world eat to live,
Nay Sayers live to eat!

Who do u think buy the goats u bring to South?

My mom bought #700 worth of tomatoes in Lagos last month . The tomatoes were so much that I had to complain to her because we didn't have steady electricity and enough space to store the tomatoes.
Fast forward to this week , my mom has just been making jest of me because of how high the prices of tomatoes are now

By the time oil pipelines are destroyed at strategic points, you will know who owns the oil.

These people are trying too hard to create a nonexistent panic...

Make una continue!

I still maintain, as well as other wise Southerners, The North should choke on their beef and veggies!

I wish this boycott started earlier sef. Thank God it is here! To your tents/regions O Nigerians!!!

thebosstrevor1:

You claim in your mud house villages, they eat goat and chicken everyday.

Who do you think you are trying to deceive. Goats and chickens are only eaten in festive period in your villages.

Most of you are pomo eaters.

Have you been to the south before?

northern traders has no point to make, shasha market has nothing to do with leadership, both sides had their loses, endsars... Southern people had much more loss than northerners, no one made loss than tinubu in Lagos during endsars, let's call a spade a spade.

sad part is,many puttin fuel into this tension are commentin from abroad....
