This is the true problem of nigeria which nobody wants to hear. It is a bitter truth. If these ideas are practicalized we will have a new Nigeria. What they always say is that our youths are lazy. From my discoveries, our youths only needs the aid, facilities and opportunities to perform. The reason why the white seems to be creative more than us is that they have all they support and facilities they need to carry out any operation in terms of time, money, support, instruments and lots more.
Their is *no MONEY for SUBSIDY* Nigeria is BROKE *Should we go and Borrow 7.4trillion for PETROL again*? borrow to keep the People happy? Knowing quit well that these funds will be misappropriated by those charged with the responsibility (they will pay for what they did not buy).
Being a Farmer you know the CORRUPTION that is going on in Agiriculture......
Please advocate for a CHANGE
Is the *RIce, Palm Oil, Yam and Beans imported* with Dollar ? ... Why is it so expensive ? Is FG selling Rice? Nooooooo it is the *same Masses selling expensive Food* and still Complaining .
Subsidy removal is not the problem. In 2012 Jonathan proposed it, in 2019 the Governors proposed it for Buhari but He turned it down.
Look at china. CHINA Closed their *Economy for over 30years* they were Suffering all because they wanted to grow their local Content, but Nigerians *only want IMPORTED Goods* and they will Blackmail their Government for it.
Now that your STATE GOVERNORS AND LOCAL GOVERMENT CHAIRMEN AND OTHER POLITICIANS earning More Revenue, Please MONITOR them and EXPOSE their GREED so that they Can Provide basic amenites for the Masses.
FG is Not Selling ANYTHING ....*The PEOPLE sells everything* .
CHANGE begins with you and me.
As at Today .

*$1 = 0.80k*
We are ready though to patronise our local products but sometime the prices are exorbitantoday, we import almost everything.
*We have been talking about these problems and more for ages.*
*It is not enough for us to complain about the exchange rate or point out what others are not doing or are failing to do. The key questions are:*
*1. What are we producing now?*
*2. What role are our so-called Leaders/ Politicians of today playing?*
An average Nigerian is poor and hungry. We are forever Shying away from responsibility whereas it is a stack reality and if we don't deal with it, it won't go away. In fact it will get worse*.
*To our dear Politicians, if you don't have the capacity to RESET Nigeria to what it was at least back in 1980 then please Stay in your house and don't waste our time. Our politicians should kill these habits of investing abroad. They should not steal our money and in a bid of hiding it take it away to other countries.
*Let everyone of us go back to farm no matter how small*
I think the area of specialization should be industrialization. That is location of industries.
Industrialization comes with so many benefits like:
Exportation
Job creation
Socio-economic development.
Knowing quit well that these industries will need good road, electricity, good water, housing and lots more. By that the host communities will be beneficiary to all these provisions.
The industries providing basic amenities in their respective localities as it is in Bonny port Harcourt, they have good roads, constant power supply and good drinking water provided by NLNG.
My eyes are dripping. 'Bitter truth'.
