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.
If I will say Nigeria from inception after the colonials masters have left the scene then it becomes an oil-centric country and not an agrarian country so till date Nigeria is not known as a agrarian economic country. Nigeria agricultural goods are not found in the world market. Nigeria Government is so much interested in the oil in the Niger Delta and leaving every other national resources.
And now if your understand history. Nigeria got her independent in the year 1960 and after the independent Nigerians were leaving very peaceful, things were very cheap and those who were in the camps were living happily without farming with suplus goods but was in necessary labour because the government was good with the citizens but now the government is self-centered. And the cause of the hunger in the country is caused by the recent past government and the present government who have no idea to govern a large number of people.
