Re: Just Like I Said: Grow Your Own Food, Control Population – Buhari Advises Nigerians

[Adeniran Adeboye]

A number of people have already reached the conclusion that we have to grow our own food.

Many have since invested resources in farming. Unfortunately, cow-herders have frustrated these entrepreneurs by letting their livestock graze on these farms. Does Buhari have any advice on how to address this matter?

Just like I said and advised fellow Nigerians a few months ago, Nigerians need to go back to the land and farm to feed themselves. No Manna will fall from heaven to feed Nigerians. 

Our youths in Nigeria are lazy. Very lazy. They don't want to farm. All they do everyday is sit behind their computers and mobile phones to Facebook, Tiktok and Whatsapp all day and complain about inflation and rise in prices of food and other items. 

I live in America and have farms with modern technologies in Nigeria to feed fellow Nigerians. If an old man like me can produce tons of food to feed Nigerians from afar, what is wrong with able bodied and lazy youths in Nigeria who can't feed themselves? 

Furthermore, like I said before, Nigeria is overpopulated and the population needs to be controlled ASAP before it's too late. Nigeria needs to introduce Birth Control to arrest the situation before it gets out of hand. Nigeria's overpopulation is contributing to insecurity in Nigeria. Buhari has reiterated what I said is wrong with Nigeria.

I'm currently working on Agriculture and Population Control bills which I will introduce at the National Assembly in Nigeria very soon to help Nigeria.

Good job, Buhari!

Grow your own food, control population – Buhari advises Nigerians

Daily Post 

Former President Muhammadu Buhari has advised Nigerians to keep growing their own foods and control population growth.

The former President expressed satisfaction that a considerable number of Nigerians have embraced farming once again.

Buhari, however, expressed deep concern over the unchecked rise in population within the nation, saying the situation now calls for immediate attention.

He spoke to journalists after participating in the Kofor Arewa Eid prayer in Katsina on Sunday, in light of the current conditions in the nation.

“The need for greater discussion and awareness about this problem, (uncontrolled population growth) as well as a need to invest more in education and health.

“Let us grow our own food. We have shown that we can do it. This is not the time to relent when we see prices going up. Let us buy what is produced in the country.

“The foundation of a prosperous and stable country has been laid by successive governments, and I encourage our youth, in particular, to continue to play an active role in various nation-building efforts,” he said.

Advice. Ineffective leaders often act on the advice and counsel of those who walk on the street, because it is easy to give than to receive.

There are ways to solve the problem of encroachment of farmers' lands by Fulani Herdsmen. I made the recommendation in the past to the Buhari government and Tinubu is making similar recommendation to the state governments and the National Assembly. 

1. All state governments in collaboration with the federal government must create ranches in their respective states where Fulani Herdsmen and other Nigerians interested in Cattle Farming will be restricted to ranches by law. This will not only benefit the Herdsmen, it will also solve the Farmer-Herder conflicts. Furthermore, it will turn Nigeria into a major meat producing, processing and exporting country in the world. It will also create millions of jobs for the jobless in Nigeria.

2. All legislative assemblies in Nigeria must enact laws restricting all Herdsmen to ranches. The law must include punishment of jail terms of not less than 15 years for breakers of such law. In addition, the National Assembly must create special courts to deal with such menace in Nigeria.

3. Farmers can also install fences and barricades on their farm lands with help of both federal and state funding. Fences will prevent Herdsmen from encroaching on farmlands. I fenced my technologically advanced farms in Nigeria and have acquired additional farm lands with the aim of fencing and using them to produce more crops and poultry animals.

The Federal Government has started restricted ranch lands in some Northern states in Nigeria in collaboration with some state governments as pilot programs. The problem is with some state governments who are hell bent on preventing such moves in their states. That won't augur well for them. 

Stupidity and ignorance are killing Nigerian governors. They all have millions of unemployed youths to deal with in their respective states coupled with skyrocketing food prices. Agriculture will solve such problems in no time.

I'm currently working on Agriculture Bill which I intend to introduce at the National Assembly.

Good morning Baba Wharfy. You can’t read only the post you commented on, to understand why Prof Adeboye stated this: “ Does Buhari have any advice on how to address this matter?”

Prof Adeboye responded to the posted rants below his.

Before laughing and making yourself hysterical, Baba Wharfy, why don’t you read the post below the prof’s?

Maybe you will notice this: “ Good job, Buhari!”.

Nebu,

Are you back from sabbatical?

I used to love your postings and I'm beginning to take a liking again, albeit with my own view.

Population growth is great for economic reasons, but sustainable population growth is what DOK was on about.

Discard Nigeria. Our earth is a ball in our universe and has a finite resources to sustain life. What happens if we exceed the resources and reach a tipping point?

I'll like to say someone, probably in a movie, ones described humans as vermins that multiply without thinking of sustenance and when the resources run out, they will then turn on each other to feed.

Control is always necessary. Irresponsibility must not be tolerated.

Where you have individuals siring up to 60 offsprings without a care in the world for them is height of irresponsibility.

I think population control is imperative, not by state imposition but by societal imposition of parental responsibilities.

And the reason that you are correct, Olola Kassim, is because Muhammed Buhari who fathered 10 children (5 by each of his wives) is now hypocritically calling for population control? How many children did you sire, certainly not one or two? Why are some of you Nigerians brazen hypocrites? 

You have been on this population control in Nigeria since the 1990s, yet you seem to ignore the fact that population growth is no longer a hinderance to economic progress in the 21st century, as long a country has leaders with sound vision and rectitude. China and India have proved to the world that population growth (China now encourages having multiple children) can even be advantageous to economic progress in the face of the 21st century technology, development in medicines that elongate life and cure diseases that were killers in the past. 

My dear Olola Kassim, Nigeria is not overpopulated (mainly because death rate in Nigeria is almost matching birth rate), rather, Nigerian people are being subjected to hellish existence because of the corruption, ineptitude, and Kotowing to Oyibo's designation for Africans by your friends in the governments of Nigeria since the 1990s. 

The world is not overpopulated and does not risk getting so any time soon. To the contrary, some school of thought, made of sound intellectual minds, opines that if the world had 20 billion people today, the world would have at least one million geniuses who could discover cures for all sorts of diseases, formulate the theory of everything -- thereby making nothing unachievable for humanity, including delaying dying or reviving dead people, conquering space-travelling in minutes, discovering human-habitable planets, etc. 

Olola Kassim, it's time you ceased your elitist but archaic anti-poor people policy sing-song. How many children have Tinubu, Shettima, Akpabio, and that one heading the House of Reps (I don't remember his name)?  The West, especially the US, has dossier on president Tinubu, so they flex it any time they want him to do something, some of which are inimical to Nigeria and of which Buhari was wise enough to refuse doing (I never imagined that any future Nigerian president would be worse than Buhari). That's why Tinubu almost started a war with Niger Republic, almost allowed US military base to relocate to Sokoto when Niger Republic kicked out US; that's why he has sanctioned GMO flooding of Nigerian markets and farmlands -- this grow your own food mantra is to be implemented with GMO seedlings. 

Some of us love America and remain grateful/loyal to her, yet we don't let that blind us to corporate America's greediness all over the world, which often imperils Africans. I would hate to believe that Canada has molded you into championing borderline white supremacist economic/population policies.

“ I think population control is imperative, not by state imposition but by societal imposition of parental responsibilities.”………..By Alagba Olajide.

Afis comment: Good morning Alagba Olajide.

How does a society enforces “parental responsibilities” versus “state imposition”, in the Nigerian diverse society of today?

How do you reach consensus between the Islamic communities in the North where Qur’an is their primary law, and the mostly Christian communities in the East?

You guys should stop falling into Fulani traps. Buhari is using your logic against you the southerners.

I wonder how you can “impose parental responsibilities” that include birth control on Northern Muslims, the same Muslims that refuse polio vaccines because they believe the Western world conspired to use vaccines as birth control.

The uneducated upper North understands the game of numbers, while you southern educated people understand what you read in Oyinbo textbooks, in isolation of facts and realities of Nigerian political gamesmanship.

Whatever you guys are using to include Nigeria in your opinions, can’t work in Nigeria because you failed to include the Islamic strict tenets in you analyses.

Buhari came at you Southerners with RUGA, thanks to Akeredolu, south did not bite. 

Imagine RUGA in your forests, all Fulani from Niger living there and demanding to vote! Game of numbers!!

Alagba, are you guys for real?

Thank Olodumare we have Muslims with four wives in Yorubaland, if not, you guys would’ve helped to reduce us to Tribe number  5 with your isolated advocacy, while other tribes are procreating nonstop.

In a country where most of the uneducated population is in the North, Buhari who was in govt and the ruler for 8yrs, who never once spoke about population control, suddenly out of office now he TajiSoji and you all buy into that.

Oga Afis,

Game of higher numbers will keep on winning as long as Nigeria remain in its current format. I don't envisage that that will be the case.

The incompatibility in the way and outlook to life of different sections of the Nigerian federation cannot be carried out centrally for long.

The convergent basis in which Nigerian founding fathers agreed to gain independence as a unitary entity back in 1957/59 is that each region is independent and controls it's own affairs. Apart from the federal constitution, each region had their own regional constitution and only contributes to the central government for defense and other duties deemed to be national.

Each region even have their own ambassador called Agent General in the UK who works to bring businesses to his appointing region.

Oga Afis, it is on this basis that I postulated that parental responsibility is key.

Where the society (most likely with legal backing), requires and expects a parent to take care of their ward, birth rate will definitely drop.

More reasons why there is a need for child rights law that has a basic minimum standard for the parents and the state to provide.

When a man knows, by law irrespective of your religion, you're expected to send your children to minimum basic education of 9 years, he will look at costs and keep his JT in his pants.

If regional independence comes and I believe it's inevitable, whichever region burdens his region with unsustainable population growth will have to pay for it.

As you normally say, Shikena!

Like Dr Kassim, I will be very brief.

Sustainable growth is the euphemism for Birth control.

Resources on earth is finite and cannot be reimbursed. Although, total matter on earth will not deplete but remain constant, however the change of form from useful resource to waste render the waste not useful.

Example is crude oil. It took the earth millions of years to brew it, however the rate of consumption within the last couple of hundred years will probably deplete it within another couple of hundred years. Sustainability is ensuring that the crude is managed in such a way that the earth is given the opportunity to brew more while we use the existing one.
