Book haram responsible for scarcity of tomatoes- Lai Mohammed
byAfolabi James-0
The minister of information Lai Mohammeddisclosed on channels TV that the Boko Haram sects are responsible for scarcity of tomato in Nigeria . While speaking on Channels Television, the Minister of Information and Culture said: “People rant about the price of tomato but they forget one thing; they forget that the price of tomato today is as a result of the fact that we have lost two years harvest to Boko Haram insurgency. . . Most of the people you see riding Okada (motorcycles) in Lagos are people who would have been in the farm to produce consumable items. Do you farm where there is war? . Definitely No? But that's not enough yardstick for the scarcity of tomatoes, I could remember vividly that 2years ago was the tenure of former President Jonathan, and things weren't cost, not even tomato. Regardless of the fact that they exploited us. And it was during this period the Boko haram waged war the most, and we never had reasons to complain about price of tomato.
We have lost two seasons of harvest, in addition, we have had very poor rainfall last year and this year. These are the combined factors responsible for the scarcity of tomato.
Go and ask economists and agriculturists, they will tell you.”.... or direct you to google....Our minister of information is still directing us to other source egbami. Is it that he himself is short of information. God help us sha.
