I will keep repeating it,there's hunger in the Land.
I don't understand why there's silence in the land, yesterday I bought a pack of knorr magic for 2000 naira,this time last year I was buying a pack for less than 800 naira.
Yam,bread,Beans,rice, Garri,Potatoes are now gradually getting out of the reach of the Masses.
I don't know who Asiwaju advisers are but they should tell him a very hunger man/woman is an angry man/woman
Let the government not push the masses to the wall,The Endsars riot will be a child play compared to what will happen all over the country.
The Government should declare a state of Emergency and pump massive money to the Agricultural sector as soon as tomorrow.
Asiwaju,the situation is getting out of hand, intervene quickly.
God bless Nigeria....

I read the article and there is a lot of truth in what was said,I will not bother to bore anybody with my analysis but rather speak on my suggestions to this rising food crises which if not tackled quickly can lead to unrest

I suggest the following measures to be adopted in the short term
1) Importation of food stuff (1 to 12 months)
The Federal Government must open the borders for food to be brought in,staple food like rice,beans and wheat should be brought in quickly
Also Vegetable Oil and possibly frozen chicken and fish should be have tariffs removed
People need to eat and they don't care where it comes from

2) Middle term (1 to 18 months)
The Federal Government should work with stakeholders including state governments,private sector and agricultural and aquaculture cooperatives to secure farmlands from non state actors like bandits and Herdsmen

Allow people to know that they are secured and that they would not be at the mercy of this criminals
This will allow continous sowing and harvesting to be going on all year round

3) Long term
This is where the States and Local Govt have a role to play,they must produce plans and roadmaps for their people
The federal government cannot produce food,it is the job of the states and Local Govt,Land which is material in Agriculture is vested in the states and Local Govt.
Let each state who are willing carve out arable land for interested participants, provide Infrastructure for the farmlands and approach the federal government for low interest rate
Also, individuals should be encouraged to grow food in spaces available to them
My mantra is Buy some, Grow some

People are getting fed up and the time for stories are over,we need an Operation Feed the people now

You should blame the Yorubas and Huasas why a massive protest has not erupted yet. They supported this government into power with all their might.

If the government isn't executing agendas that will make lives better, they are in the right position to start a protest. But deep rooted tribalism will not let them move an inch.

The Igbos can follow suit when it begins.

CheedyJ:
Instead make everybody vex enter street , shutdown d country, una dey moan and groan, una never ready at all. Govt wey no send una

abba190:
i always wonder why igbos on nairaland think this ebin pawa is only for hausas and yoruba. there is one elderly igbo man close to my house i swear to God this old man is on bread and pure water for morethan 6months

flokii:


We saw this coming and we warned against it.. all these herders attacking farmers and preventing farmers from going to the farm will bring untold hardship on Nigerians.. What Malami and the erstwhile Aso rock cabals allowed to fester is what everyone is suffering now.
How on earth will a cattle owner be using his cattle to disturb other people and be violating rights of others in the same country.. if we look closely, those clamouring for Yoruba nation, biafra, etc. have cause to do so. A country where there is no fairness can't work.
