Very soon, storage of Cassava, Agbado, Gari, Kuli-Kuli, Corn, Ewa, and Epa, may soon begin.
Abi, do these not fall under the category of “Grains” Baba Alagbado said should be released from the Strategic Grain Reserves? Harvested from which farms? By farmers who abandoned their farms for years, fleeing from Boko Haram insurgents and Fulani Bandits who flourished under a Buhari/APC-led government of eight years?
Please, how does Baba Alagbado plan to feed the 50 million multidimensionally hungry and poverty-stricken youths he planned to recruit into the Agbado Army? Did he foresee a war with Niger Republic while on the political campaign trail, that made him talk of raising a 50 million-strong army of Agbadorians during the political campaigns? I mean, it’s like Baba, like the biblical Saul, had been counted among the Prophets, and we never even noticed!
Okay, Baba, indeed it is true that a Prophet is never appreciated by his own people. We apologize for the insult of not paying attention to your elevation as a prophet, but, you see sir, this war with Niger, or any other war you might have foreseen or will foresee in the near or far future, please sir, perish the thought!
Nigerians still have the multiple knees of high inflation, high fuel prices, extreme hunger, and abject poverty, (among other knees), pressing down on their necks. Now you want to add the Giant Knee of WAR?
Habaa, Baba Alagbado, let the poor breathe now?
