A lot has happened over the last 4 to 5 decades. We've seen a whole african giant diversify from agriculture to oil, and making so much money and revenue from this sector. We've seen many Nigerians struggle for survival just to make sure they put smiles on their family faces,
Many have tried, Many have succeeded, many have failed.
The problem doesn't just lie in hunger and malnutrition in our country today.
An average Nigerian could work all day and night just to get a meal for his/her family to eat, thinking he has surmounted all his trouble for that day, and look up to the next.
Very painful to admit, ....
But are these meals safe
A lingering questions in the mind of everything sympathetic Nigerian today.
Nigerians has suffered not only on the low quantity of food produced but also on the quality of food produced , these two great factors has realy destroyed the shape of the food industry in Nigeria, who do not only die from hunger(lack of food), but there are still millions of kids out there that suffer from Malnutritio( lack of balance diet)
Many citizens have been left out on the way food can be secured for consumption, the fact that a whole lot of people have no choice than to eat food, fruits or even drink water that has been contaminated by oil and other impurities(like the problems they had in Niger-delta).Some even consume unbalanced meal which later causes deficiency to the body. Nigerians needs to be educated on medium by which food is taken to the body system, proper nutrition and how to balance them well in other to live a very healthy life,
Everyday we look onto ourselves on how we'd keep on living, struggling to make end's meet, basically to redeem ourselves, and come out stronger.
Since bigger problems like poverty, and harsh living conditions can't kill us,
Why should Food now kill us?
Every form of carelessness on the path of the government should be exterminated, and silly mistakes on we the citizens also should be properly dealt with.
We dont want to continue seeing tears on the faces of our loved ones.!!!
Well said
ReplyDeleteAgriculture as the main stay of a country sustainance : Years back the country sustainance, which relies on agriculture played a long yeilding role to the economy sector at the long run.
Also the exportation of the cash crops is not also excluded as it generates massive income for the government as a whole.
As times goes on with the oil booming sector discoveries which partly led to diversity from agriculture to crude oil industry.
As humans we re always after benefiting or acquiring from something but we do in not checking it from the source where it's coming from.
we need to be cautious on that we consume on daily basis in terms of the quality of that we goes into our mouth 👀 but the truth is that we re just left out on the way good can me secured .The problems re just more than expectations in the agricultural sector, Merely looking at it you think it's just a normal thing for you to see food on your table on a normal circumstances but we don't always realise that process, hardwork, labour all the likes it takes before getting there.
we need to understand the fact that agriculture is the only way for we being to survive generally.
we really need to put much interest in the agricultural sector not only the oil shii of a thing though both are sustaining ,just tha they shouldn't be prefrencial treatment over each other. They should be equal treatment for both
An average man could hustle here and there to sustain his family and after that he thinks he has overcome all his endeavors but it goes beyond that we should all be cautious of tha goes into our mouth to maintain a healthy living life .
