Re: Grow your own food, control population – Buhari advises Nigerians

[afis]

Your point not clear sir, Dr Kassim.

Buhari was there for 8yrs trying to introduce Fulani supremacy over other tribes.

Buhari’s advise now is like OBJ’s advise on democracy.

Grow your own food, control population – Buhari advises Nigerians

Daily Post 

Dear All:

I was right all along!

Nigeria has a population problem.

Let all those well educated and knowledgeable

senior Nigerian bureaucrats, ministers, ambassadors and Professors

at home and abroad who have ever disputed my stand on this issue take a bow.

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!”.

Shikena,

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?

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.

Oga Afis,

Sometime DOK surprises one.
Buhari was in the presidency for 8yrs and he never did anything about the population explosion, especially in the north.

He should have put child rights in place to enforce parental care by parents.
Outlaw indifferent parenthood and ensure parents, especially fathers, are responsible for the upkeep of their kids by way of child support even when they are no longer together with their better half.

There are myriad of things he could have put in place, but he never did.

So, it's not in his place now to try and play elder statesman by proffering advice that he shirked during his ascendancy.

Regards,

Femi Olajide

Oga Afis,

DOK point is now making sense.
I've always been advocate of maintaining sustainability. Not only in Nigeria but worldwide.

Resources for human habitation, or indeed all living things, are limited.

It's like any business, your expenses most not be more than your income, else you'll go bankrupt.

Resources on earth is finite and probably will not increase. So, we either manage it without unfettered increment in numbers.

Nigeria should consider sustainable population growth as DOK postulates.

Regards,

Femi Olajide

Afis:

I think I should have made my point clearer. I was not specifically referencing

referencing Buhari's comments the need to increase the percentage of home grown

 food stuff Nigerians consume which I support.

My focus was on the former President's second point which is that Nigerians should 

moderate the rate of growth of our population.

I have been preaching the message about ensuring sustainable population growth rate

on Nigerian cyberspace and in person at conferences

held about Nigeria both at home in Nigeria and also in foreign countries including

the USA, Canada, UK and Germany for over 3 decades.

My position has always provoked stiff oppositions from many earned friends and colleagues

with whom I agree on most issues. Bolaji Aluko, and our late erudite brothers IBK and 
and JUI (RIP) were always the first to jump on my case on this issue. At a few NIDO A conferences a few Nigerian ambassadors

and federal government ministers and senior bureaucrats including Mallam el Rufai have

questioned why I was so preoccupied with this issue. The argued that Nigeria has no population problem

considering we still have a very low population density outside of our increasingly congested

urban centres

One Nigerian ambassador that I worked closely with once asked me in an open forum if I would  have traded

my being born for not being born if Nigeria were to adopted a Sustainable Population Growth Policy.

My short answer to him was that I would not have known the difference if I were not born alive.

I am too time constrained to explore the issue further at this moment as reports to be verified are now

piling up on my desk and my staff are periodically politely checking in to see if I am working on them.

You know my stand on this issue.

To be continued later!

Please ensure you help in turning Florida Blue again on Nov 5.

Bye,

Ola

Dr Kassim, please don’t compare your genuine advocacy for “sustainable population growth”, with Buhari’s religious zealot advocacy.

Islam does not permit birth control just as Catholics.

Buhari’s plan is to have your southern tribes to dwindle while Fulani gain majority.

I don’t believe he’s sincere.

First thing Buhari should advocate is “One man one wife” by Muslims, and banning of child marriage.

A people that support four wives to one man, even if each wife is limited by law to have not more than two kids, that equals 8 kids in one family per household.

If in the south we abide by the same law, and most of us have one wife, who’s going to benefit in the long run during national voting?

Anything from Buhari is BS.
