Every part of Nigeria is needed for the growth of this country. However, the North can never be useless.

michoim:

Yet he won't be able to carry a hoe to make just one heap for yam...

Huncle, the world has moved

I don't mean in the context of mechanized agriculture

My parents have a farm and garden, but they don't make such ridges

They engage labourers to do it, plant it and get labourers to weed it as well.

However, they just harvest it.

The point is, being a farmer is not a big deal.

The problem is that it is not encouraged in the south

But I noticed a paradigm shift in the South West, where young people are increasingly crowdfunding companies to help commercialize farming.

This is something the entire south has to imbibe

Famine is looming on the horizon

Shortyy:
Lol Ebonyi people laughing at North right now.

Thank you jare. North dey learn in times of farming

The wicked northern leaders should also ban themselves from collecting free oil money from the niger delta. How can they be thinking of stopping selling their foodstuffs to the niger delta while their region still depends heavily on oil money to develop their agriculture and also fund infrastructures in the north?

Why cut his joy short. Allow them feel important for once na, even if it have to be self deceit

History555:


Plantain, banana, yam, fish, chicken, Turkey, egg, garri, fufu, amala, egusi, bitter leaf, ugwu, palm oil, vegetable oil, okro, ofe nsala, goat, stock fish, rice are from the north. Even fresh air is from the north

Arrewa:
stop lying to yourself!

The south east have nothing! I mean nothing without the food from the north.

Beans we bring you beans from the north!

Rice we bring you rice from the north forget that ebonyi audio rice that can't even feed a local government.

Tomatoes na we dey give una!

Goat meat... Do you know how many trailers of goat dey enter east per day?

Cow... Na we dey give una!

I just pray this country divide.

The east will surely be at receiving end!

You have no access to the sea!

You have no fertile land for Agriculture!

Erosion is ravaging the remaining land you have!

All you guys do is to cheast beat! And make mouth!

My Generation will teach the East how to respect the north!

Just pray we divide this country sooner... Cos it's not gonna funny in future!

I am a future governor and a future king maker!

I just pray we divide soon Sha... Cos if we don't.

It's not going to be funny! Our fathers failed the north!

My Generation will never fail the north!

We shall make the north Great again

You are on your own

Elvictor:


when you have not been to primary school, how can it be common?

The matter shock you abi? Sane and normal people in Nairaland no pass 10. So, it doesn't come as a shock to me when they comment. Werey everywhere...

Ibrahimmrfish:
The guy think they can grow onion in commercial quantity, here in Niger state we don't plant onion cause it don't grow were there is a lot of water, it prefer dry soil and irrigation. There is no way on earth you can plant onion in south and generate profits.We in the north consume kolanute more than the south, but you don't see us bragging about we planting it, it grow here but the quality and quantity is not the same with the southern one.My advice for u guys is,concentrate on what your land can produce and increase the quantity of production.

Abeg go and sleep you know nothing. European countries that are extremely cold with lots of water grow onions. We are in a innovative world where the right condition can be modeled to meet the required result.

When these uneducated Northerners issue baseless threats I begin to wonder.
The food supply you do down South is pure business which you gain your profits from after the supplies same way goods are taken from South up North for business gains as well.
This country is truly a zoo#
What beats me is how some fools from the South are thriving so hard to preserve the zoo.

tutudesz:
“As for livestock we have adequate lands for breeding pigs, goats, sheep, poultry, ducks, turkey, pigeon, etc. Oil palm and raffia proliferate in the Niger Delta. In truth, what foods do Northern states transport to us that gives them the impudent voice to threaten a food embargo?”
Niger Delta is blessed with different resources, only the thing needed is a good plan to developed the region

The bolded, A lot actually.
Onions and Tomatoes for a start.

Southern Nigeria is really poor in farming compared to the north. That is a fact.

During the civil war after the Military cut off food supply to the eastern region, the war was effectively won. And we have still not learnt the lessons from that unfortunate time.

dlaw70:

slowpoke.

You have no idea, let me leave you.

BIGGESThead6:


The South East didn't complain during Covid19 cause Federal Government gave clearance to Trucks conveying food from the North to the South. The North can never have problem with food. The Rice you worship in the South is poor people food in the North.

The picture bellow was taking during Covid19 lockdown. Hundreds of Trailer loads of foods, enter the East daily.

Continue chest beating. That famine that is coming to eat up your entire region is still doing push up. E go shock you soon. I can't wait to open news in 6 months and laugh.

This northern parasites are overstretching their luck and sooner than later, they will not the rock.

. Where do you know is the east and how many nautical miles is ndoki to the Atlantic, you guys will just stay one place and be spewing trash, the east has food and access to the sea, in my village people can stay for months without any food that is not locally cultivated, you think the east is only aba and onitcha, for your information many adjourning states in the south south all come to onitcha and aba to buy those your so called food from the north. Don't also forget that we have big business men who can bring in the food stuffs, wether from the north or even outside Nigeria

Arrewa:
allow them to chest beat in peace!

Ordinary onions way no dey south for 2 days una cry up and down!


Okoro is from the north... You people don't have Okoro. "Kubewa"

You don't have onions!

You don't have goats in commercial quantity You only have goats in some village compound.

We provide you with goats... Go to the express and see hundreds of trailers of goats moving down your region.

Na we dey give una that Jacky! "Donkey" Cos una like Jacky meat die!

We give you guys pepper!

We dey give una maize

We give you everything!

I mean everything including fruits

Still na north no normal for thinking, na them still get the highest rate of poverty, almajiri na their own. Bad sickness dey their gene. Religion come brainwash them join. I can not be a north.

The okro my mum plant in her garden or which one? So okro only grow in the North?

Arrewa:

IkpuNnegiEwu44:



Yet when una hear Biafra or IPOB una heart go begin skip.

Common restructure, North is scared to shyt talk less of division.

Who is afraid of division of Nigeria? We all know it's the North that has nothing to offer

Ha ha, then you people are cowards ,you are waiting for the north to decide for you. The northern youths are very much ready not for restructuring but to be in a country without Nyamiri people.

ggood:



You are very stupid almajiri which food North have , am in North right and have been here for a while , I don't eat Alewoo and Mai kuka instead i waybill my food stuffs from the south to North every two two month. North is a dessert we are not suppose to be in country.

your people don't go to school you are too backward for my liking.

Don't mind them .. It is actually the middle belt that produce all the food oo... They are not going with the north if we disintegrate today

Are you aware that some of us were born in the North? Let me clear your doubt. Northerners use fertilizer in farming. Your land is not fertile, stop decieving yourself

jalaludeen1:


Some soil can not be improve and the ones that can will be very costly to farm on such king of land. For example improving waterlogged area for crops that require dry land

Queseda:
These people won't just swallow their pride. If you are not depending on North why is the price of onions suddenly so high in Port Harcourt and other cities in the South. You can keep suffering and smiling

That is market forces for you.
But if it persists for too long, by next year, onion farms will spring up everywhere.
If I tell you no village woman in Ebonyi buys northern tomatoes, you will say I'm lying.
Beans is not a popular food in the east, especially for villagers.

hatakekakashi:

You're tribalistic too

I'm not tribalistic. I don't hate northerners (I have a fulani aunt, and I have hausa friends), but this chest beating they are doing on this forum is crazy. People like arrewa are just making me start to hate northerners, and i'm starting to realize why so many igbos hate them fulani so much.

Arrewa:
I have no issues with the south south. Those guys are the Heros that derserve more than what they're gaining from the current System. But unfortunately for them... they're from the current shiit hole part of the world

The problem of Niger Delta is leaderhip not even Nigeria.

A state like Delta and Bayelsea supposed to be more developed than Abuja.

Even if we divide this country.

Some people would still suffer this same bad leadership from our current crop of African leaders.

We all have same issue all over Africa minus the white north Africans.

The black people generally have leadership problems.

But you see those politicians from the south south...

Those guys are worse!

As for Igbos reality will soon hit!

.malam, we have indigenous igbos in the Niger Delta and your so called south south.

Redcrafton:


Nothing will happen. You might be speaking for the SW, but the eastern part will be fine.

We eat plantain, yam, cocoyam, garri, local rice, egusi, ogbono, chicken, eggs, fish, goat meat, with our palm oil for soup, which are not from the north. We have Nsukka pepper.

The main thing that comes from the north is onions and may be tomatoes, which can be cultivated or imported. After all Nigeria still imports rice and beans and tomato puree, from other countries.

The truth is that southern nigeria realies heavily on the north for the supply of foodstuff. is because the south cant produce, no. its just most southern youths go for blue/white collar jobs.
The north own farming in Nigeria.

Charlie, forget. that was those days not now. See, if those southern governors are serious, we need a model to grow onions and tomatoes using technology, it will be very easy , if so why do we use fertilizers in farming and buy improved seeds in lab from abroad especially ?

I will rather wait for the North who are ready to sell his products 1% profit margin than the Southern who are not ready to negotiate their 100% profit margin.

Respect kee u there!

Ebonyi, Omoghor ugbenu, Awba ofe mmiri etc are Rice farming community. Abakaliki rice is what?

We send palm oil to North

We send Garri to North

We have oil

We have native cows and goats

We have varieties of beans like akidi etc

Otuocha and Ebonyi yam are enough for us

We are industrialist, your people leave Onitsha market everyday in convoys to North after purchasing our locally manufactured products.


There is nothing we gain free from North. Absolutely Nothing. Ur agbada wearing politicians are being paid from our God given crude oil.

Let the country break, let's see who will survive.

There is famine in the North as we speak, if u claim to farm, why are you hungry? Why are Ur almajiri trouping to south and east to look for menial job?

I pray God answer our prayers and break this cage of a country.

Chad and Somalia will be competing with North in 2years

Arrewa:

A state like Delta and Bayelsea supposed to be more developed than Abuja.

Not even Abuja.
With the resources coming out from there Niger Delta States supposed to be like Dubai.

Arm conflict? So you didn't know the same arm conflict was the reason the blockade against igbos worked during the war? Who farm during the war?my prayer is for Nigeria to divide let's see who survives it.

Ibrahimmrfish:

Some part of northeast and it's cause by arm conflict,lie to yourself if u like the fact is,tomato,bean,yam,onion e.t.c are produce by northern States.

SmartPolician:


The core riverine Niger Delta people do not farm

I have lived in Rivers and Bayelsa

Farming is not for those people

They do farming however not all of them.

jalaludeen1:

They are ungrateful fellows, always chest beating they almost went in to extinct because of food shortage

lols, Very Myopic of you... Ibos are special breeds... I'm Yoruba though..
Who goes to farm during Wars?... Almost all the able bodied Men are drafted into the Biafran Army, So that's not a point... If the North stops sending food down South, Very Simple... I trust my IBO brothers , That is when you will see Investment in Agriculture , When Benue refused selling Yam because they wanted to EXPORT... did it affect ANY REGION ?... Every region has human capital to make it successful.. Enough of this Balderdash... Every REGION will be okay...
