What's the resources of Finland and what's their population

iamoyindamola:

What do they have to offer us than breeding multiple population for election

BlueRayDick:


He's getting too annoying at this point in time. Imagine him saying terrorists don't have financiers, so they just found guns ammunitions on the road abi? They didn't buy them? Nobody gave them money to buy them?

Most of his arguments don't even make any sense. He wants federal government to negotiate with the kidnappers and bandits because he feels they embraced crime out of necessity. So federal government must strike a deal with them. smh

Maybe all of us too should embrace crime because country is hard and then force FG to come and negotiate with us.

One thing I noticed is that the man somehow believes the whatever deal was struck with Niger Deltan militants, same thing must be struck with his brothers in Sambisa and other forests in the north. He obviously thinks the Niger Delta situation (where oil exploration has left so many communities degraded environmentally ) is the same with the situation in the north.

BlueRayDick:


They actually offer us food, most of the agricultural produce we eat in this country are planted in the north.

My issue with people like Gumi is that instead of them holding their leaders accountable on how well they use allocations they get from the federal purse; they will rather be expecting FG to still cater for the needs of their people. What are their leaders doing about education? Why must they focus more on religion than education and other factors that lead to improvement of their standard of living in the nearest future?

OasisX:




......not in cash.

iamoyindamola:

Not free
The government invested in them a lot

Itsrm:



You don talk am finish. He always references the Niger Delta situation but they are not exactly the same.

Not forgetting that a lot of people in government were also against paying amnesty to militants.

Itsrm:


Buying does not mean cash na. Never bought USD in cash. It's more expensive than transfer. Besides, what do I need it for?

Itsrm:


Thought you were advising us to buy the dip

If Southern state governors were up and doing some Northern politicians wouldn't be able to use the bold to blackmail the rest of the country.

Apart from Lagos no State down south has an excuse not to engage in some high scale industrial farming but

As far as I can tell, They don't offer us food because it is all individuated subsistence farming. It is Niger state that is actually investing in agriculture proper

If u know the number of trailers loaded with food items that enter Mile 12 food market in Ketu daily, u will know that the north actually feeds the south.

Just stay few hours at Ojodu Berger and u will be amazed at the number of trucks loaded with livestock, pepper, tomatoes, yam, vegetables, etc that entered Lagos from the north.

.....thought you wanna get from black market, from Aboki. LOL!

Itsrm:


Even if I get from Aboki, it won't be cash. In most cases, Abokis are not the ones selling directly to you. They just act as middle men.

Lets say I want to buy.

The actual seller will send dollar to my dom account while I'll pay naira to Aboki. It's ythe Aboki who will now settle the seller after he removes his own cut.

GloriousGbola:


This is what I am saying. Is the food from the north funded or subsidized by their state governments in any way?


Anambra state can lay claim to hero beer as they invested in the distillery - can kano state lay claim to the cows in kano? Did kano state provide land, or medication or transport? Is there actually any difference between the governors up north and down south in this regard, outside of the Niger state government?

larride:
Been a while we've seen Amoto here. I hope he's okay?

BlueRayDick:


When we say the north, we actually mean the people of the north. Not necessarily claiming the northern governors funded the agricultural efforts.

But u know the funny thing is the government of those northern states can actually stop food items from coming down south. The governor just needs to sign one yeye executive order and send state agencies officials to stop any truck coming down south with agricultural products.

That being said, our governors down south can actually encourage agriculture if they want to. They can provide agricultural loans with low interest rates to people interested in agriculture, give tax incentives and provide security for designated farm settlements such that herders who are caught with their hard on those farm settlement will be severely dealt with.

I mean we can also go ultra if we want to.

reccy:


Yeah, he's fine. I just spoke with him. Kinda of busy these days.

izzou:


So who go come buy or chop the produce then?

BlueRayDick:


Yeah, that's where southern governors have their own fault and I think it's politics that did that to us.

There's no reason why governors of states like Ogun, Ondo, Oyo, Osun and Ekiti can't fund agriculture on an industrial scale. Aside from Osun and maybe Ekiti that have parts of the states surrounded by rocks, most of the Southwestern states have good arable land that will yield good produce.

But since the governors are not really supporting agriculture as much as they should, when u go to those states u see that people who used to farm before now ride bikes, keke and korope to keep body & soul together.

You are all over the place, confusing defending of Naira with FX to printing money. Meffy spent $11bln in 7 months in legitimately earned FX to DEFEND Naira. This is not the same as printing Naira. So if you can't distinguish between the two. what further conversation is there to have?

The 7 months of Meffy spending FX is just a snapshot of time. Meffy spends FX every month like any CBN Governor, so you putting a finite date on it just shows you lack understanding of what you are debating. Defending of Naira with FX is an ongoing process that never stops, from 1980 till now. Even Cardoso is doing It now but to a much lesser extent and with much more limited FX. It must be done year in, year out, month in, month out to keep Naira value stable. Sanusi over the course of his tenure defended Naira with over $20bln in legitimately earned FX for example. Tinubu met the FX depleted because Meffy had pledged most of our FX as collateral against Govt borrowing, and that's why Naira is gyrating.

Simple and plain, YES at the bolded.

It is my job to give you information. It is your job to interpret based on your level of understanding, or to run agenda based on your political affiliation.

What the guy wrote in the tweet is wrong though. The woman never said they gave Gunmi the money.
