The basics of human life are :food,clothing, and shelter. I did not include Oxygen and sleep.
With a lush rain forest with fertile soil and abundant water for seafood and irrigation in the South and an ideal climate for numerous crops in the north, what could be a food basket is instead a basket case - Nigeria
Despite technological advances, most African nations, including Nigeria, are ravaged by massive poverty, hunger, and food scarcity. Food and clothing(cotton) should be the cheapest commodity in Nigeria.
Do you think Nigerian population is too spread out and usurp valuable lands, and some settlements should be dissolved and used for agriculture while moving the inhabitants to the city? What's your opinion?Screenshot_20170727-072523.png

Mechanized farming is the way out to feed the teeming population.Imagine only 1 American farmer can feed the whole country,they are sophisticated with advance agricultural implements and facilities,the major reason they have overcome hunger

Agriculture should also b part of the plan

Agriculture has a lot of potential in Nigeria... It's high time the government puts more resources and funds to develop the sector

God save this country!

Mechanise farming is the only way out to overcome famine

Mechanized farming is only in the northern part of nigeria and that is while they produce more agricultural products than other region.
I wish all the state will encourge their indigenous farmers with mechanized equipments for effective farming

I think we need to go back to our agricultural practices instead of focusing on oil alone
