The house that wisdom built is usually looted
by foolishness - Ademola Olarewaju
I
want to publicly commend the incumbent President and also his
predecessor - the former for releasing 10,000 tonnes of grains to combat
rising food prices and the latter for storing those grains for his
clueless successor. It takes courage for the incumbent President to
admit that food commodity prices are skyrocketing on his watch but more
courage is needed to admit that his policy on rice importation without
doing anything to encourage local production is wrong. Presently, rice
imports for Nigerian consumption come in through other countries and are
smuggled into Nigeria to be sold at exorbitant prices. The last time
the grain reserves were released was in 2012 during the flood crisis.
Today, two things are responsible: systematic ban on rice imports and
the attacks of Fulani Herdsmen on the Middle-Belt which is the
food-basket of the nation.
This Govt is benefitting from
Jonathan's cluelessness and therefore redefining Cluelessness by showing
us the real Cluelessness. The house that wisdom built is usually looted
by foolishness.
