#NigeriaFarmers: WE MUST NOT STOP BLAMING THE NIGERIA FARMERS, But we must also know that every cheap imported food into Nigeria is because the governments of India, Thailand, Vietnam etc have spent Hundreds of billions of Dollars Supporting their farmers over the past 100years. Just like @realDonaldTrump is spending $10billion supporting US Farmers due to Government Tariff Policy. Nigerians are used to blaming the small man who is barely surviving and supporting the killing politicians and demonic elites. Na our way, so I can never be surprised by what is happening, but let me ask the following questions.... 1. who is responsible for the rising cost of fertilizer and farm inputs making it almost impossible to Farm in Nigeria today? The Nigeria Farmers I guess! 2. Who is responsible for the escalating cost of transportation and logistics? I believe it is the Nigeria Farmers too abi? 3. Who is responsible for the high cost of Energy and insane cost of machinery for production, processing and manufacturing? The Nigeria farmers Again Abi? 4. Who is responsible for the high cost and challenging process of borrowing, making it impossible for Nigeria farmers to borrow money for agriculture? I believe it is the Nigeria Farmers too Right? 5. Who is responsible for Government Policies affected all Nigeria Businesses and making it hard to survive as a Nigeria Business person and particularly in Farming? The Nigeria Farmer Again Na! 6. Who is responsible for the Rural Insecurity making it impossible for the Nigerian to farmer Peacefully and Progressively? The Nigeria Farmer Surely! 7. Who is responsible for the lack of Rural infrastructure affecting the Rural Farmer? I am talking about roads and basic farm infrastructure to make it easier to farm? I am certain it is the Nigeria Farmer. Nigeria Farmers are the only Farmers in the world responsible for everything and provided with literally no support but ultimately blamed for high food prices. When Policies are mostly domiciled in Abuja and State capitals without touching the real rural farmers, the Nigeria Farmer is to Blame. The Farmer who is barely surviving is blame for Hoarding, Smuggling, Price hikes and Greed when that farmer most times don't have the capacity to move those goods to the market for sale and has to depend on Middle men to help him or her get goods to the market. The Nigeria farmer is always under prices, under appreciated, under valued and mostly ridiculed by the same people he is feeding cheap and with pains. Ultimately, Nigerians will know that Until Nigeria Farms, Nigeria is not Working! NOTE: No Nigeria Farmer is Hungry and the Images Below are of Habanero Pepper, We are Currently Planting 50,000 including Tomatoes and Bell Pepper. 1,000 Ugwu Plants, 5 Hectares of Soyabeans, 5 Hectares of Cassava and Counting, More than 5 Hectares of Sweet Potatoes. More than 2,500 Producing Palm Trees; 1,000 Mangoes; 2,000 Cashew Trees; 100 Avocadoes; developing 30hectares of Grapevine, More than 100 pawpaw Trees etc.... SORRY, NIGERIA FARMERS ARE NOT HUNGRY!

#Northernization: THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE WAS, IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITY! It is time for us all to begin to take Agricultural Productivity seriously across Northern Nigeria. That is the short, medium and long-term solution to most of our socio economic challenges. Most of the Industrialized Economies of the world today started from Agriculture. Every Northerner must seek Space, Land, Gardens and every corner of their homes to Cultivate! Cultivate!! and Cultivate!!!. Let every Northernee unleash the Farmer in Him or Her; Let us feed the North and the Nation; Let us begin an Agricultural Revolution that is sustainable and driven by the people, one farm at a time. Let us do something that will change the Mindset of the Average Northerner. Let us make the move to Self-Sufficiency (SS), Mental Dependency (MD) and Food Availability (FA). The Technological demands for starting small and starting now is available but not cheap but just start. Let us go back to Justifying and Honouring the Labour of our hands. let us all begin to disabuse our minds and let's get off this Miracle Mindset Mentality. The Church and Mosque will not feed you; Neither will Prayers or Miracles; Night Vigil will not do it; Evangelism or Jihadism cannot put food on the table except for the Pastors and Imams who utilize them for Personal Enrichment and Greed. The North must not be made worse for our children; Let us suffer for our children to be better. You cannot be an Import dependent economy and be applying Export Driven Economic Policies; It is like preparing for an English Examination but the Questions are set in Hausa. Developing Economies cannot grow with Neo-Liberal Policies. The only examples that have work in the developing world are those that had the guts for Capital Control; refused devaluation pressure and were systemic; refused the urge to not subsidize the people; Massively Invested in Agriculture to kick-start industrialization; Ensured that Imports were treated with disdain and Consolidated Localization with Nationalism. The examples are all over Asia, Europe and Africa. In the Words of Ernesto Che Guevara "The Revolution is not an Apple that will Fall from the Sky; You Have to Pluck it; You have to Make it Fall" Nigerians, let us make our dreams come true or we die trying. This Movement by The Northern Elders Forum @Northernelders for The Northern Nigeria Investment and Industrialization Summit @NNIIS25 is Late but it is Better Today than Tomorrow. Our Elders will say..."Na When You Wake Up, Your Day Break." To all the Organizers, Please keep up and the good work, the conversation and the sensitization of the Northern Elites because until the North Farms, The North is not Working!
