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.
The Nigerian problem began with its leaders who ignored the issues of its people. The Nigerian government has failed to give what is needed for its citizens to enjoy the better life they desire. How is it possible that a country known for agriculture is struggling to provide a square meal per day, 80% of Nigerians are farmers because even the rich people are also into agriculture. Nigerian farmers often exchange farm produce for home things and the farm tools to make their labor easier. I believe that in some countries, the government gives what is needed for farmers to start up their farms, but the Nigerian government just cares about itself.
However, since the farmers noticed that those who they elected as their government weren't concerned about their needs, they did not sell the food products they had at the end of their farming season because, with Nigeria's poor economy, farmers continue to struggle more than the wealthy ones.
