Nigeria is country that is well known as a typical agricultural nation which was once the mainstay to the country economy and because of the agricultural strength of the country compel them to have their flag as Green White Green which signify agriculture and peace but it baffles me to see the level of hunger going on in Nigeria now to the extend that an average Nigerian cannot boast of feeding himself and family three square meal per day.
What could be the root cause of this hunger in a country that has all it takes including human capitals and natural resources to make a great nation that the whole would will cherish and envy.
It’s a shamme on the country and the leaders that claim they are leading the country. How will a country with such natural resources be suffering? It shows the leaders of the country are selfish and only after their own personal interests and doesn’t really concern themselves about the country’s development.
Nigerians are actually into Agriculture but the government doesn’t really care much about it that’s why the development level of agriculture is still far behind Nd the agricultural sector should be one the most important sectors the leaders should value more. Alot of natural resources but they are not using them appropriately to their fullest potential. Let’s just hope things will change soon and get a better and befitting leader.
I really agree with you, that, ultimately, the ones who must be responsible for this incident are not the farmers but the policymakers, namely the government, which they do not provide the necessary assistance to the farmers but perhaps only think about themselves and ignore what is happening.
As an agricultural country, it is clear that the people are happy with agriculture, so if the government is willing to help, it is certain that it will develop well, but if you ignore it, there is nothing the farmers can do apart from empty hopes. Everyone ends up having difficulty being able to develop in any way without help.
