liar.

Two different unrelated scenarios!!
I wonder why Nairaland keeps allowing kids to engage in matured discussions

Let me educate you little kid.
The Democratic Republic of Congo has had its Sovereignty as a country countlessly abused by neighbouring countries like Rwanda, Uganda and Zimbabwe, especially Rwanda!! These countries attack the DRC communities and kill mercilessly, with utmost impunity.
The reason for all these attacks? The DRC is enormously rich with natural resources like Gold and the rest, reason why their neighbours have been terrorising it and causing unprovoked death and attacks since the late 90s. Hundreds of thousands of innocent Congolese have died and millions have been displaced since the 90s.

Paul Kigame and Museveni have been openly committing genocide on the people of DRC and the government helplessly allows that..

if stupidity was a person it'll you. How is Congo different from Nigeria. Don't you know that Nigeria has more hungry people than Congo and Congo was ranked higher than Nigeria in of security last year. The way that less than 10000 people hold more than 200M to ransom should worry you but no. Congo is your problem. Inconsequential mummu

Fiscus105:



No be by size ooooo, buffalo bigger than wild dogs oooo, but wild dogs often turn Buffalo to carcass.

leave him let Nigeria use their numbers to overturn all the terrorist and bad leaders holding the country hostage now.. He thinks war is a numbers game. Kids everywhere on the internet making noise.

Flows001:
What the f*ck is wrong with RWANDA?

As tiny as the country, it has been a major instigator of the Congolese war since the late 90s, that is so bad, and I wonder why DR Congo cannot also attack Rwanda, DRC is the second most populated country in Africa, but how they keep tolerating the excesses and killings from both the Rwandan army and Rwandan backed rebel groups still baffles me..

Paul Kagame has the blood of hundreds of thousands of innocent Congolese people in his hand, I am sure a major international power has been the one using him because of the abundant natural resources in the DRC.. It is so annoying

nigeria that is most populated black country in the world cannot use their population to attack the politicians putting them in bondage. They keep tolerating starvation, and inhumane policies from their own very leaders and now Nigeria has most hungry people in the world more hungry people than Congo.

But here you are with the audacity to be asking Congo why they can't fight. Why can't you fight your own leaders.

COMPAQ:


You enjoyed subsidized petrol for over 40 years
You still enjoy dirt cheap education
You still enjoy subsidized electricity if you are NOT on Band A
You enjoyed subsidized dollar for decades

fuel was the only thing that was subsided in the past which this useless govt removed.

Do you know you're crazily stupid for claiming dollars was subsided. How can they subside money. ?

Nigeria govt doesn't subside anything for its citizens

xoverx:


Fool, don't think everyone is like you.

I SAVE 100k weekly and I'm working on improving on it before the year runs out.

No be everybody be like you.

story for the gods. You're a just jobless fool being feed by his parents (which most of you here are) That's why you have the gods to ask what is one doing for the govt. Same govt they risked their lives to vote into power.

Literally ing the govt inhumane character by refusing to pay subsidies. When every country In the world is doing same. Even the poorest of the poor countries pay subsidy.

xoverx:
University education in public institutions is highly subsidized. The actual cost of training one student runs into millions annually. But the nigerian government's subsidy on education which is not something they shout about allows citizens get cheap tertiary education unlike in so called saner clime where it is far more expensive.

There was subsidy on dollar until it was removed by this istration, there was petroleum subsidy which has also been removed and there is subsidy on electricity which I don't know whether is still existent.

Before you ask questions like this, I think you should first tell us how much tax you pay to government coffers annually, tell us how up to date you are in paying for PHCN (NEPA) bills, which will be the basis of any entitlement mentality.

youre reasoning in reverse and need mental checkup. The govt removed subsidy which they should be paying even more And you're here ing it.

Talking of taxes. This govt has increased taxes on all fronts. To transfer money now you'll pay tax, businesses are paying huge taxes everyday, civil servants are being taxed

Someone still depending on his parents like you won't know all this.

Bosman17:
Can you also name one thing the government is benefiting from you… after enjoying years and years of subsidy?

Most of our parents enjoyed free education, including Kemi Badenoch’s father… yet we cry like newly hatched chicks as though we benefit nothing…

the govt benefits from the citizens who vote them into power, pay their taxes and give up their natural right and privilege to thr govt.

But the nig govt gives nothing in return except hardship. They can't pay subside anymore which is the basic and simplest thing any govt can offer.

They see themselves as gods and see the people as chickens with no value for their lives

ElSudani:


Only abundance of happiness, financial independence and good health awaits me and mine in the new year. These are the same things I wish for all Nigerians.
You are free to to make your own wish. By the way, it is called diary not dairy.

all these won't make you escape the impending hunger. govt isn't meant to do anything for you.

ElSudani:


You don't want to debate because you have no idea what you are talking about. You probably have difficulty understanding what you read.
I absolutely have your time and I can go back to the first time you quoted me so you can explain once again in plain English what you disagreed with.
I bet you can't read.

okay now keep debating with hunger. You've forgotten that you still have to learn how to farm and secure yourself this coming 2025. The govt isn't supposed to do anything for you. !

This coming years will teach many people like you serious lessons and I wish you to perish with the impending hunger so in your next life you won't defend wicked and heartless leaders again.

ElSudani:


What is this doofy saying?

I'm not talking to you. Ignore it. You're too dull to understand common knowledge how much more stats.

I'm using it as a dairy to save it so I can remind certain people who ignored me and asked me what was i saying.

Because most of you are turning blind to the impending doom that awaits this country.

ElSudani:


Why then did you attack me for taking a position you now claim to ? All I said before you attacked was suggesting that the government should provide more incentives to our farmers and agriculture in general.

get away both of us never said the same thing. I'm not stuppid like you.? We're like fire and water we can never mix.

What does provide Incentives to farmers in general means boy?
I made my points very clear but you want to keep debating. I don't have your time.

ElSudani:


What the hell is this one saying?

your brain us too dull to understand. Go continue to kick your oppressors butts and twist the truth.

opera1:



You lack home training....

I can't wait for hunger to finish you. Idiiot.

Alliswell248:


Work on yourself. This behavior of yours depicts that of an animal.

Learn to be tolerant. Why are you calling him a foolish dreamer?

U must be from cownu's region.

truth is bitter. Keep crying

opera1:



So everyone that travel out are millionaires right?
Dey play o

see one idiiot that wants everyone to perish in Nigeria.

Greatechng:

Bros farm your cocoa then travel to the country that needs cocoa to establish business there then come back and harvest your cocoa for exportation

you can't catch two birds at once it'll not work

mcjohny:
To travel out of naija is pain to me
There are endless opportunities in the Nigeria
Agriculture is 90% untapped in this country, with places I can go and get some mineral resources for free and sell or even act as middle man
Leave and become a slave in another man's country
Only my flight ticket/visa to those Western world can get me 100 million naira in 14 months with just the simplest sugarcane farming

haha so where are your millions in Nigeria. IAM sure you're still in your parents basement. Foolish dreamer.

SOCIALISM: You have two cows, and you give one to your neighbor.

COMMUNISM: You have two cows, the government takes both and gives you milk.

FASCISM: You have two cows, the government takes both and sells you milk.

NAZISM: You have two cows, the government takes them and kills you.

CAPITALISM: You have two cows, you sell one and buy a male. You multiply your cows and there is economic growth. You sell them, you retire and you live on your profits.

MODERN CAPITALISM: You have two cows, you sell one and buy a male. You multiply your cows and you buy those of your neighbors. The latter become your shepherds, you pay them in monkey currencies and they die poor.

AMERICAN SOCIETY: You have two cows, you sell one and you have to make the other one to produce milk like 4 cows. By dint of producing beyond her capacity, she dies. You take a consultant to understand this death.

FRENCH SOCIETY: You have two cows, you go on strike because you want a third.

GERMAN SOCIETY: You have two cows, you modify them so that they live 100 years, eat once a month and treat themselves.

CHINESE SOCIETY: You have two cows, you sell milk to your compatriots and you produce plastic milk to export to the rest of the world.

AFRICAN SOCIETY: You have two cows, you eat them all the same day and you dream that donors or the international community give you others. You go to a church and hope for miracle cattle. You fast 40 days and 40 nights without eating or drinking so that the cows will fall from Heaven.

At last You die in extreme poverty.

Mind set is paramount.

ElSudani:


You are slow. These are not government farms, they are private companies that got government subsidies. The same thing I was saying but you are obviously unable to understand what you read.

it's same way the govt has refused to invest in electricity.

Nigeria generates 14k watts yet still remains in darkness. Benin generates nothing but have 24/7 cheap light.

This script is in every single sector like security. but you apc idiiots will say it's because we don't have enough security men in the country.

Because you want citizens to do the work of the govt.

ElSudani:

who said they were govt farms. I said govt should invest in food you're talking of farms. Govt owning farms won't do anything to the price, don't know why your brain is too dull to understand this. Price is determined by cost.

Investment means things like Subsidy, grant, security to farmers, machinery needs to be made on it to reduce the cost.

Nigeria has most hungry people in the world because the price of food is too high. In the US govt invest in food.

It's same thing with Libya, their govt subsides everything. So it's very cheap. Fuel in Libya is N50 not because everybody there own minning rig but because govt there pay Subsidy on fuel.

Fuel can be imported from anywhere same with food.

ElSudani:


One of the slowest people I've ever encountered on Nairaland. You can't play semantics with me because you are not even up to par.
Can you point to where I said the government shouldn't invest in agriculture?
Every encouragement and incentive given to farmers can be counted as an investment isn't it?
Now, going back to your earlier harebrained idea. Please for the last time, tell me where the US government farms are located, because that is what you said the government should be doing.
I really hate arguing with half baked morons.

do you think I really have the time trying to prove an obvious point to a moronic element like you?

I already told you the US govt pays huge subsidy on food every year and you're talking about owning farms. See how stuppid you're.

For all they care they can import food from Mexico and subside it. Hunger problem in Nigeria isn't caused by lack of farmers but cost of farming.

Nigeria has 40million farmers compared to US 3 million. The US govt largely invests in farming/food but Nigeria govt doesn't care and want the citizens to do everything so they can tax then and idiiots like you are comfortable with and will be defending it.


I know too well you're eager to stupidly defend a useless govt so I'll leave you alone to bask in your stupidity. I'm too busy for some useless arguments.

ElSudani:


Invest in what sense? Why don't you just tell us some of the government owned farms in the US?
Some of you just talk for talking sake. I mentioned earlier if you care to read that the government should provide incentives and encourage farmers yet you are saying government should invest. Government should plant rice and corn for you and also raise animals for you?
Perhaps government should cook the food and feed you as well.

see stop arguing you sound like a complete dullard. Nigeria has more farmers because they're trying to cut cost on food. not because they enjoy it.

The US govt invest over £30 billion on food per year. That money goes to farmers pocket. that's why food is cheap in the US. Us isn't the only one doing this. They subside food and send it over for processing.

We don't need more farmers but subsidy. One farmer can produce enough to feed almost everyone it's the investment that's the prob. A lot of food is already wasted daily due to lack of buyers.

I told you farmers are been killed in the north and you avoided it. Don't know how you guys are comfortable with that govt doing nothing for its citizens.

It's humane. Not even South Sudan govt is this wicked to it's citizens.

Even countries ran by hitmen have way cheaper food than Nigeria.

ElSudani:


You are talking nonsense. Majority of Nigerian farmers are subsistence farmers, maybe that was ok in 1900. That is not the type of farming I'm talking about.
It is not the job of the government to invest in agriculture, let the government do what the government should do like providing the enabling environment.
Some of you just open your mouths waa and spew ignorance thinking that you are making sense.

going by your reasoning if we want to make healthcare free everyone in the country will now build big hospitals and by doing so the price will eventually come down to 0.

It's not govt job to make healthcare free right?
I wonder how people like you graduated school when you can't even understand basic care economics.

most of you are quick to talk trash from your empty brains.

less than 2% of us citizens are into farming yet they produce more food than the entire west Africa combined and the food is cheap.

If govt don't invest in agriculture the country is going no where. in Nigeria this is worse because farmers are dying daily.

Imagine a bunch of terrorists asking poor farmers to pay 50million ransom before they'll be allowed to farm. After paying ransom they'll add the cost on their produce and price will go up.

Govt cant provide anything for its citizens not even security for those poor farmers.

ElSudani:


While I agree the government should encourage more people to go into agriculture by giving incentives and all, it is also the responsibility of the citizens to take up the challenge.
Nigerians generally don't like to invest in anything that can take a year or more to see profit, this is why even rich Nigerians are not into food production.
Just like almost all rich Nigerians are into oil and gas, let them also invest in agriculture because it is very important for the country.
It is totally unrealistic to expect the government to produce and ration food like in a communist country.

most of you talk gibberish without economic sense. there are many farmers already In Nigeria the main occupation in Nigeria today is farming.

many rich Nigerians are into oil yet the price rose to 1200 immediately govt removed subsidy..
Not even dangote can bring the price down if he except govt starts paying subsidy.

Anyone into farming is doing so in a small scale for his own benefit or profit.
Govt has to invest or subsidize it to become cheap. Even if everyone starts farming (which is not possible) won't they pay for land, seeds, labour, storage and all?

They can't even provide basic security for the poor farmers.

ElSudani:


Lazy thinking freeloader. You have no access to land or you are just a lazy freeloader who expects the government to provide cheap tomatoes, cheap onions and beans for you.
Some of you shouldn't be allowed near the social media for absolute lack of critical thinking.
Not everyone can be a farmer but what happens if no one wants to be a farmer?
I bet you are one of those ninnies who deride agbado and mocked Tinubu when he talked about planting corn.
Yet, oponu will still come online to talk about high cost of eggs!
How would you even raise the chickens? Se na your eyes the chickens go dey eat? It socks to be oponu.

it's a shame than Libya that hasn't had election since 2014 food is cheaper there than sand is in Nigeria.

And Nigerians queue under the hot sun to vote and pay more taxes.

if the govt can't provide anything for it's citizens then why do we have govt in the first place. They have all the resources , power and money and can't do anything. What is the essence of paying tax, having port, voting during election, doing all this for a govt that is only going to harm you. And do nothing good for you.
It's high time we should share the country let everyone have access to his own mini country with no govt.

The govt meant to provide for the citizens are killing them off.
