All of us are used to blaming government for everything ...
What are we also doing to our population that is geometrically increasing on daily basis.?
The first thing I need from a reasonable government is to enact a law that will tame the ideology of having plenty children per family.
Our resources are so limited yet we keep growing babies everyday.
Na God dey feed pikin .... Can you ask that your God to come feed them now ?

Are you for REAL?
What do you tell the Indians and the Chinese - with Population of 1.456 Billion People,each?
Americans are 334Millions,yet are pressing forwards and Nigeria is just over 200 Millions, and you are Complaining!
- Indians are Exporting so much- including Rice,Tata Vehicles,Keke Marwa,etc , and Ghana is exporting Yam everywhere but we have more Yam Produce than Ghana.
So what is missing is the govt Pro -Activeness!
•Are we Export Oriented Country - but you Must Meet the Domestic ---Foodstuffs Production - before you talk about EXPORTS PRODUCE!
• What has the NNPC or DISCOS given to Nigerians to be Patrotic Citizens?
- What have been the Contribution of many Ministries and Agencies -- Nothing and so unquantified?
- if you think deeply,Pat Govt and States govt- were just too Corrupt to see to the Needs of Today,but we're wasting our Foreign Currencies ( FOREX) , hence No Foods,No Light,No Employments,No Functional Refineries - although God has blessed us with Crude Oil and that one too is being Stolen for Personal Pockets,as such so many Leakages.
Today most Politicians Are Multimillionaires, Billionaires- without Credible Sources - and Many Youths are not employed!
No be Tinubu do all that,why come blame the Man?
The troubles for Tinubu is that he underrated the destruction that Nigeria and Nigerians are facing,!

Import semi-processed food and process it with high energy cost then transport with high logistics cost?

That's their own equivalent of militants attacking crude oil pipelines. Next step is either amnesty, which is looking unlikely, or granting protection contract to bndita so the they can enjoy what Tompolo and other top militants are enjoying. They are treating it as a north versus south thing forgetting constitution doesn't recognise it that way. It is the one Nigeria they invented the law knows of.

After paying fuel subsidy for you, where will government get the money to pay for food importation for u also?


Which food importation is govt paying, what he need to do is to reduce taxes on food import not remove and reduce fuel price through subsidy


Price of goods will fall naturally, they claim to be saving yet still spending money on unimportant things

E be like say chihuahua bite you for your sleep. Creating an enabling environment for businesses to thrive is the solution, not importation. If you don't understand, you're free to carry your chihuahua and waka
With the current plight of Nigeria, your thoughts can be likened to that of ignorance and kaikai joint economics.

Creating an enabling environment that you couldn't create since 1960 till date. You want to create now that people are dieing of hunger.

I actually wish that was the case but we know instead you are the ones that rejoice in irredeemable bigotry and chronic bigotry.

How does lamenting about suspension in taxes of food items help your cause, when same you have been lamenting about skyrocketing food prices ?

Would you rather the govt just ignore your wailing n never lift the suspension of the taxes. They didn't even claim it was reduced but suspended so more food can be available.

POC: Ipob sympathizers not all Igbos think like the person you responded to(even though I'm not sure he's Igbo) Igbokwe,Soludo,Umahi,Innoson,Cubana, Emoney are Igbos who I know don't think 🤔 like that.

Thanks 👍🏾

Can't every state Government go into large scale industrial farming, some will specialise on a particular crop production were they will excell well. Confused rollers. Nija mater tire me

.

Why won't his government be the best when you are a partaker in his government

This has been the mentality of some Nigerians , once there own gets into office and offers them special duties, they come to the public talking without brains like they don't know the government they praise is a failure.....

Why not wait, let us see the impact than rejoicing and praising emptyness when nothing has been done

FG seems not to understand thr root causes of all this... Insecurity and high cost of transportation is the soul reason things are this expensive... Removing tax won't make any difference at ll. Most of the food we eat are locally produced.

BUT WAIT OO WHAT ABUT THE BOY COLLECTING PRODUCE FROM LOCAL FARMERS WHO CONTRIBUTE MORE TO THIS ECONOMY ?
Re: FG to suspend taxes on food importation by PHAYOL81: 9:59pm On Jul 08
Good. While advocacy for farming continues, the state governments can use an opportunity and window like this to import and promote sufficiency to bring down the inflation till they're ready to feed themselves.
Re: FG to suspend taxes on food importation by Ken4Christ: 10:03pm On Jul 08
Open ecowas border and allow free trade and watch how the economy will revive. Custom officers are one of the reasons food items such as rice is very expensive. Price of rice is the determining factor for other prices. When rice crash, others will follow.

The country's biggest problem is the budget deficit. Money earned would go towards reducing it.

Respective state governments should deal with those nuisance Miscreants, instead of mismanaging governance, and shifting the buck to the Federal.


Let the federal government abd law makers get rid of their excuses of Federal influence in dealing with these lots

That is how governments operate, same as the story of your life.

Abi you think say e easy for governments to convince lazy people to think critically, & work harder?

If other governments did so and people saw the dividend why is this one bringing more hunger and starvation? Dey play...it only mean one thing clueless
