Ethanol production is the future, but I wonder if FG has considered the benefits it could bring to our economy. We need to support innovative initiatives, not stifle them. 9 Likes |

pinkguy:Why should FG stop companies from innovating abeg? Na your papa own cassava abi wetin? What the heck is wrong with you people? If Cassava is in fact a major source of food for most Nigerians then dig in and increase production for your needs. 4 Likes |

That is not a smart economic advice. The option is to increase production by investing on large scale industrial farming. Both for food and industrial consumption are needed for economic development. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Kobojunkieee:how can we increase production when our farmland are no longer safe ,the little we produce are use for production of ethanol by foreign firm and the end product are mostly exported 1 Like |
Re: FG Should Stop Company using Cassava For Ethanol Production by Philipponzaghi: 9:17pm On Aug 08 |
This is a valid point. We need to prioritize food security over industrial use. FG should take a balanced approach to ensure the people's needs are met. 11 Likes |

pinkguy:Make una no dey confuse una selves upandan abeg! Your insecurity problems are for you and your government to deal with. If farmers can farm the product and believe it is beneficial to sell to foreign companies, it is their freedom to do just that. |

Kobojunkieee:if you sell products that in long-run will lead to food insecurity in your country,I don't think it's a nice idea, the farmers may letter loose his profit and his life if care is not taken |

pinkguy:If you don't like it sell your own to curb food insecurity naw! Simple as that! |

Re: FG Should Stop Company using Cassava For Ethanol Production by Salewa97: 9:33pm On Aug 08 |
The FG is right to prioritize food security. Cassava is a staple for many, and diverting it for ethanol could exacerbate hunger. Let's support policies that protect our food sources while balancing economic growth. Prioritizing the people's needs should always come first. 6 Likes |

Salewa97:Tinubu's failed economic policy can only exacerbate hunger. The more support government get from people, the more they take it for granted. Tinubu must be removed in 2027 for destroying the goodwill of the masses |

pinkguy:Produce more cassava is the only option. Common sense! |
Re: FG Should Stop Company using Cassava For Ethanol Production by Kobojunkieee: 9:38pm On Aug 08 |
pinkguy:Stop right there abeg! It is an individual choice! You can plant your own to save lives but leave the other farmer who wants to make a profit instead. He is also well in his right to do so. |
Re: FG Should Stop Company using Cassava For Ethanol Production by pinkguy(m): 9:42pm On Aug 08 |
Kobojunkieee:yes I knew that,but do you know your so called individual choice can lead to insecurity in your mother land |
Re: FG Should Stop Company using Cassava For Ethanol Production by omowolewa: 9:42pm On Aug 08 |
No need, Government should solve insecurity and create Agricultural hubs. Where Landowners are made shareholders without option of Land sales. |
Re: FG Should Stop Company using Cassava For Ethanol Production by Kobojunkieee: 9:47pm On Aug 08 |
pinkguy:That one na lie! Stop trying to emotionally blackmail(guilt-tripping to be precise) people into doing your bidding. Instead, if food security dey that important to you, go out and farm. There are many ways to farm the needed crops, so get to work abeg! |
Re: FG Should Stop Company using Cassava For Ethanol Production by Chinkoalhaji34: 9:49pm On Aug 08 |
FG should focus on the benefits of cassava for local farmers instead of shutting down companies Cassava is a major cash crop that can uplift many households Encouraging responsible production can lead to job creation and economic growth, not just restriction. Let's find a way to balance agriculture and industry! |
Re: FG Should Stop Company using Cassava For Ethanol Production by Switinthemiddle(m): 10:06pm On Aug 08 |
Most of y'all critisizing the op havent really taken time to think before posting... Some of you guys are stating that more cassava should be produced or more farming... But the big question is how many of us are willing to go into even low scale or backyard farming. How will u blame farmers that cant go to their farms for fear of safety and even the little harvest they see they look to sell to the highest bidders i.e the big alcohol companies and the likes. How many of us are even willing to invest in farming if we cant do it ourselves. The bible says remove the log in your eyes so u can see clearly to remove the speck in others eyes. |
Re: FG Should Stop Company using Cassava For Ethanol Production by Kobojunkieee: 10:14pm On Aug 08 |
Switinthemiddle:1. Huh 2. Well, Democracy is a government of the people(farmers included) by the people(farmers included). How many farmers in Nigeria affected by the problem of insecurity in the nation came out to protest against bad governance this past week? 3. Those who are interested and can will. Simple! |
Re: FG Should Stop Company using Cassava For Ethanol Production by Switinthemiddle(m): 10:51pm On Aug 08 |
Kobojunkieee:i think everyone has the right to their own freewill. As for me i do not see reasons why there should be cassava and its by products shortage if not for the inefficiensies of the govt. |
Re: FG Should Stop Company using Cassava For Ethanol Production by Kobojunkieee: 10:54pm On Aug 08 |
Switinthemiddle:People have their free will yet you are against the freedom of farmers to farm crops of their choice for their best purpose. |

Finally, some sense! Cassava is a staple for so many, and turning it into ethanol is a misstep. The FG should prioritize food security over this venture. We need to protect our farmers and ensure that our local crops are utilized to feed our people, not fuel production. Let’s keep our eyes on what truly matters! |
