phobia2002:
Her two bread fall yakata like Nigeria economy

Ravenna:
Her Olympus has fallen.

I disagree, my friend. Our society has never lacked the means to feed itself. We have fertile lands, seasonal rains, and ample resources, so there is no reason anyone should go hungry in Nigeria. If you look on YouTube, you'll find numerous examples of how to plant crops in sacks, even in small spaces. While I'm not suggesting you grow everything you eat, starting with peppers and tomatoes can make a significant difference. If you grow enough to feed yourself, you can sell the surplus to address other needs.

If we dedicated even half the time we spend in churches and mosques to farming, we would never have to complain about hunger. Unfortunately, many people in Nigeria prefer to:

1. Beg
2. Pray
3. Complain
4. Consider suicide

Nigerians will never take practical steps to solve their problems. They are waiting for "Manna" to fall from heaven or for some mysterious " divine favour".

Good points, but you still haven't addressed the core issue here: LEADERSHIP!


This food crisis in Nigeria has absolutely nothing to do with widespread laziness or religion.

Nigerians have actually become less religious in the last 10 years (research this).

Yes, out population has grown, but that isn't enough to make food scarce... China and India have grown twice more than we have.

The citizens produce the leaders. Where do you think good leaders will come from, Mars?


We are not producing enough food because of the following reasons:

1. Insecurity: Nigerian farmers and agriculturists are being killed and maimed everyday, at shocking levels compared to a decade ago.
Solve insecurity, and watch an explosion of food supply.

2. Cost of Production has tripled due to subsidy removal, corruption, and consequent diminished investment in the agricultural sector.



Telling everyone to start farming is merely applying a thin lint over a gangrenous wound... That won't address the root issues.
