[@impactfulafrica]

45 trucks, So why are we not seeing them in the court since today Mr VP.... Please let's stop all these media trials

[@olayemibakare6137]

Is like u don't know VP did u think is a funali man? I believe VP more than Tinubu.

[@mcdonald6284]

The drivers were ghosts, loaded from a ghost warehouse, and a ghost road. Why do old people lie like this?

[@martinsinye2710]

They are mad people, as we speak they are still talking about oil theft but no arrest of any top military officials, politicians or anyone. Crazy people......

[@user-fl6pi9nx7n]

Mr VP you have the power, you have the intelligence, and you have the authority to prosecutes not lamenting do your work. We need the right things to be done

[@ojvic7297]

Lol😂😂

[@femihassan738]

Please let them make the video avaliable for us all to see the 445 trucks when it was intercepted? The food shortage is beyond these 45 trucks. The government should wake up to their responsibilities and stop this cock and bull story (propaganda)

[@itsasmallworld2012]

Professor of cassava say make poor man get patience for 3 months 😅😂

[@eniolaadeoye7465]

Seun, please assemble a panel of farmers from all across the country and let them speak on the issues with producing food.

[@infoinfo7006]

This man called Ayo is making sense. The bank in Nigeria needs urgent regulation

[@ugochukwuike1470]

Did he just mention STATISTICS? Let me remind us that the president isn't interested in Statistics and "na statistics we go chop".

[@cosmasatebi6039]

Can 46 trucks of maize feed a local government?

[@femihassan738]

The question arises regarding the significance of the 45 trucks in relation to the overall food shortage crisis. It's crucial to consider the broader context: where are the essential staples like rice, millet, gari, and yam? The Vice President's narrative must be scrutinized for its efficacy in addressing the fundamental issue of food scarcity in Nigeria. Furthermore, transparency is key. The absence of video evidence documenting the intervention involving the 45 trucks of maize raises questions about the veracity of these claims. It is important to critically evaluate the information presented to ensure a true understanding of the situation.

[@emmanuelnwaneri3261]

I absolutely love the comment by Peter Alumoma: "Since Peter Obi couldn't convince them, hunger will". Perfect response to all these noise!

[@bmc271]

Go and sit down pls this has nothing to do with voting Obi. Obi is an will never be a messiah. He is also one of the corrupt fellows.

[@4stargen572]

Seun you just finished and reduced this man to zero. 😂deep inside him, he’s regretting for campaigning and voting for this Government. A smiling man may have sorrows within, but that courageous smile makes him a man lol

[@softdoc631]

Research is not our immediate problem. The problem at hand is that of insecurity, period! Our farmers cannot go to the farms because of insecurity. That is the immediate solution. Research is medium to long-term. By the Ayo is right. Instead of addressing the real culprits, which are the banks, they are facing bdc

[@floowbaba]

Senatos has a personal agenda, just kep emphasising research even over insecurity. Na statistics and researchers we go chop 😅😅

[@gbolahanfadeyi2886]

Nigeria is a very GIFTED COUNTRY IN EVERY IMAGINABLE WAY.. But the core problem is how to properly manage these wealth of resources…. Thus, criminals who disguise as politicians are taking advantage and looting the country with GRAND IMPUNITY !!!!.

[@13thghost42]

"You know I'm a politician"😂

[@Phatkuz18]

The racketeering starts in the commercial banks to the aboki N binance P2P

[@emmanuelnwaneri3261]

Nigeria is a broken, disorganised place where all we do is talk, talk, talk. Take a look at Netherlands with a land mass of 41,233 square km & a population of 18m ppl. They are 100% self-sufficient in food & are the world's No.1 exporter of milk. Nigeria with 932,670 square kms of land (23x the size of Netherlands) with over 260m ppl cannot feed itself, least of all export anything. All we do is talk, talk, talk!

[@israeloyeyinkaoyesiku2737]

Channel TV should not be seen stigmatising one brand of religion. It is risky

[@Esbamken]

Stealing a crown has serious consequences, says the gods

[@ikemefulacharles1561]

Unless our schools and universities begin to teach on specialisation and remove all the borrowed courses there will never be production that can change the nation. Nigeria a compute engineer will graduate with 2 :1 after studying many borrowed courses and still take his computer to a road side computer mechanic and you think will will produce like that

[@FrankneroMarxweller-xq7gq]

I GAVE MY LAPTOP A COMPUTER ENGINEER GRADUATE, JUSS 2 CHANE THE LANGUAGE FROM SPAINISH 2 ENGLISH. AFTER 2 WEEKS HE WAS UNABLE 2 CHANGE IT. I WENT 2 A ROADSIDE & IT WAS DONE IN 30MINS

[@napsigbinomwanhia5726]

Please where is Fani Kayode? Is he still in Nigeria?

[@jenniferkehinde4080]

He’s now an executive waiter. What does now is to usher in and escort out dignitaries in and out of his home

[@adeayoadejuwon8393]

Sapa na your mate. His position is to visit and congratulate appointee. No one trust him.

[@timothyobasi6269]

Food is not yet scarce in Nigeria. The problem is the purchasing power of the Naira. People don't have money to pay for available food due to the eroded power of the Naira to inflation.

[@ahmadumarahmad4773]

We must prioritize security for food to be sufficient.

[@bobbyoj4092]

Food shortage in Nigeria is caused by the government headers and farmers clashes in the country

[@YunusaAWada]

When the most intelligent and educated individuals in a country are destroyed, everything falls apart. Despite research conducted by universities in Nigeria to address food security, the findings have been left unused on library shelves due to a lack of appreciation for intellectuals and higher education institutions. The consequences of neglecting our top minds are clear, and I fully support this perspective. We should involve experts from universities and polytechnics in finding practical solutions to issues like food scarcity, insecurity, health, and education in Nigeria. Their proposed short, medium, and long-term strategies may surprise us with their effectiveness. There is still time to turn things around in Nigeria.

[@raphaelnwokobia8256]

paper Professors! What is their input into agriculture? The farmers are mainly on their own.

[@georgeogbonna8821]

Those schools are like local kitchens especially the colleges it’s a shame,

[@peterigocheinnocent1730]

Research is not the problem. The Universities and College of Agriculture have been since.

[@iwamitighatemidayo3083]

How can a bank md occupy his compound with 23 expensive vehicles.

[@Frank-Bediko62]

How is it smuggling when ECOWAS guarantees free movement of goods and services?

[@iykeiyke6649]

Wahala dey ooooo!!! That's to say,there was no plan n the first place.AHHH!!!!!

[@anthonyonah2022]

God has bless our Nigeria with so much both human and material resources.But those that are competent enough lead the country are afraid to come out,

[@gbolahanfadeyi2886]

What do you mean by AFRAID TO COME OUT ???. Where were you when people like Peter Obi and Sowore were in the forefront telling Nigerians what it would take to fix the country?. The problem is CRIMINALS who have overtaken everything in the country. The electoral process included.

[@bmc271]

See this same Man talking about Politicians as if he isn’t one of them. Same Man who has been junketing around PDP to APC .

[@Lexy697]

‘’Fools have tried, wise men have failed.’’ Bob Marley. Unfortunately that’s the curse of leadership in Nigeria. Pakistan, Bangladesh, were all part of British India once. Partition the country or Nigeria is going nowhere fast.

[@johnoladokun6230]

I agree with your opinion, Papa, we have to go back to the basis. Invest in research and development ìn our universities,and there will be surplus. Even here in the US, it's a solid collaboration between researchers and the farmers to produce what we eat and export.

[@benmoonraker]

You don't steal a presidential election and expect anything good. This guy is defending his ugly criminal president, he campaigned for. Yoruba people should ask for their votes back!

[@ashefaksmen131]

This gave me mental stress ...

[@sekoniolatunbosun8940]

The money that federal government supposed to use to buy tractors tp clear bushes for the farmers free of charge, used in purchasing SUV for themselves.

[@megatee]

Honestly dollar can't be change anyhow. Some countries don't change currencies more than 2k and personal information must be used.

[@Esbamken]

Did he listened to others views ,when he was shouting tinubu is the best man for the work ,suddenly wants others opinions

[@oladapoajayi5115]

Ogunlewe is out of phase in his discussion he's talking out of point and pitching tents

[@adetunde6652]

APC caused the debts from borrowing loans without anything to show for it ? So, they should solve it; and bring the exchange rate of the Naira, and prices of foodstuffs !!

[@paulords8327]

Eat other food and stop eating only rice so much.

[@SenkatNden]

Other food are expensive too. It's not just rice.

[@martinsinye2710]

2 statements and 1 move from Tinubu crippled Nigeria. 1, Subsidy removal without prepping. 2, Ultimatum to Niger Republic junta and 3, Floating of foreign currency in parallel markets. Solution: Community policing. Reverse few policies. Invest in Agriculture. Block oil theft. Declare war on power/electricity. Reform our judiciary..... Nigeria will recover.

[@vok7584]

This baba is lost in the past. Mudane. SMH... a senator

[@obiefunaikechukwuokeke5072]

Senator Ogunlewe didn't speak badly for those criticizing his line of reasoning. He actually was pointing to potential solutions to the food crisis but still unapologetically insisting that Thiefnubu is still the best man for the job whilst smartly not alluding to the Consumption to Production mantra of Mr. Peter Obi smacks of ethnic bigotry on his part.

[@bioi2702]

Which stupid Obi

[@user-dv6px3jn8q]

I knew you would end your story with Pit Obi . Why should a typical Ibo man who voted for Obi be accusing a Yoruba man who voted for Tinubu of ethnic bigotry

[@ifeday77]

Same Obi didn't turn Anambra state to production when he was the governor. If Obi were to be the president today he will face the same problem.

[@vok7584]

​@@bioi2702 yariba man. Your eyes will soon clear. Thiefnubu is a clueless old man. Keep hating Obi, u hear?

[@spider8760]

😂😂😂😂Baba said you knw i am a politician so he cant speak the truth😂😂😂. Baba the farms is occupied by bandits so even those bandits kidnaps professors too. Tinubu say na statistics we go chop and all of a sudden they are calling out statistics 😂😂😂😂

[@comfortudoekpo8248]

No investor would likes to go and invest his or her resources in a country govern by illegal government. If you love Nigeria, tell Mr Tinubu to resign.

[@omonoabc652]

They could not help themselves. Lying through clenched teeth.

[@obiefunaikechukwuokeke5072]

This man started well but his refusal to admit the grand failure of this Thiefnubu government is a stain of insincerity on his person.

[@Sadiqyusuf-xu4fl]

Old wives tales, story!! Story!!! Story!!!!!!!!!!

[@vinpascal3862]

Who is this old man talking of research? Seuun, stop bringing people that is outdated with current situation and solutions.

[@onyemakadesmond4348]

All this old talkers, we are tired of them. They never speak the truth with missing teeth from their mouth

[@TheZedd]

Watched the 1st part of the session. Signed off immediately I saw the 2nd guest - nothing good (certainly not for the country) can come out of his constantly biased analysis.

[@femiairboy94]

What is crippling our currency is speculation and hoarding and the only way they’re currently doing that is through dom accounts. Convert dom accounts to naira accounts at the official rate. No more dom accounts, limit international transactions to $10K per person per month with the exception of businesses and individuals who need international transactions for business and investment. This will bring a short term solution that’ll at least give time for the boys at CBN to create a permanent solution to this problem. No serious person is going to keep money in Naira now especially with this volatility.

[@user-kq3th3zr7m]

Shameless politicians, imagine he has nothing on board, just see how segu give him hard question he failed woofer,he is representing a constituency collecting allocation every month what research has he putting in place for his people? when they have nothing to say let them keep there's mouth mute!

[@mztaerie]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@petertaire1262]

Which one be this oga own with research na, when we r talking about d immediate solution

[@jonnyada60]

Nonsense. Import rice

[@babiidehen3699]

Hahaha Seun😂😂😂😂 hope for breakfast! hope for lunch!! hope for dinner!!!, na wa oo

[@solomonogagbe4993]

Seun please get the right person to come and talk to us not an old man who has nothing to offer. There's food but there's no money to buy them

[@bobbyoj4092]

45 trucks of food stuffs 🤔who owns them, give Nigerians their names🤣🤷🏾‍♀️

[@chinonsookoye4201]

Is not research anything

[@femihassan738]

The approach of the Former Minister of Work appears rather limited, focusing predominantly on research. Meanwhile, it's imperative that President Tinubu takes swift action, possibly considering the immediate importation of food to tackle pressing food needs. The stance of Senator Ogunlewe is puzzling. The core issue seems to lie in the quality of leadership. Relying solely on research as a panacea seems inadequate. It's crucial for those in government to be more adaptable and genuinely commit to the changes they advocate.

[@pvpqr2286]

I have read many comments and responses, but yours is the most productive.

[@ayodelealedare6507]

Look at Ayo blaming this thing on criminality. So arrest them na. Your government has not made production possible. Blame everybody but yourself

[@olagunjuolukayode6026]

The former senator might be into something with the research and conversion of university acreage to major agricultural hubs. This is however a medium term investment. Government should be looking at immediate actions to sort this food shortage issue out. That’s priority atm.

[@johnogianakhu4594]

At this point we are still hearing useless proposals

[@darl1417]

Baba I beg leave research alone make we talk better words.

[@comfortbosede757]

This people will not listen to themselves, how can someone in charge of arm, Navy, police costom complaining of smuggling, wait when did they produced the food they are smuggling, have they address insecurities??? This are lame excuse o, why can show they openly to the public. The insecurities that they refused to address over the years is biting harder, Do you think you are secured if masses can not feed😢

[@nasukoh406]

Excuses galore from the APCites as their nepotistic regime plunder Nigeria 🇳🇬

[@ucheobiemeaobiekea6761]

VP passing the bucks, and looking for scapegoats! Tragic!

[@chimangumezi1324]

Since they said we cannot criticize the president, shebi I fit swear for this vice president ni

[@peterigocheinnocent1730]

What is this oga's own with research abeg?

[@chinozioko5745]

I wonder . Did u hear he was a former minister, these are the theorists that plunged us into this mess

[@alakemeandawei4239]

This Prof is only concerned about his colleagues welfare. That's the problem of Nigerian elites, selfish. What are the low hanging fruits to solve the food scarcity problem. More so, he was a former senator.

[@ikhideomo7407]

Baba leave research alone na. Shwooo!!

[@ucheobiemeaobiekea6761]

Social change needs time to impact people's lives. BAT should be given time!

[@bobbyoj4092]

Trauma is a wurd sustained by any living thing , Nigerians are traumatized, because of the atrocities going on in the country

32:44 "I can't say so, you know I'm a politician." Meaning: you know I shouldn't say the truth.

[@udubraglory1068]

Worthless fathers

[@fatomiluyiabiodun6464]

Daddy Ogunlewe, you live in Lagos. You don't know what is going on in other states of the Federation. No state is safe for farming in the nation. Call your friends in other states to confirm. If insecurity is not arrested, any money spent on agriculture is a waste.

[@benmoonraker]

Yoruba people should ask for their votes back!

[@taiwoabiodun9197]

[@bobbyoj4092]

Today’s discussion is boring because you invited a boring person that don’t understand the situation on the ground

[@bmc271]

The guy is just speaking gibberish from both sides of his mouth.

[@ericwilliams4840]

Everything’s lies on the devaluation of the naira so the federal government should stop blaming the farmers and the smugglers, I remember in 2010 Cameroon 1000 cfa was N250 to N280 today the same 1000cfa is N2500 going to N3000 I remember then Nigerians do came to Cameroon to import Pepe con and so on into the country
