RE: Steemit Engagement Challenge || Three things I love about my country and three things I will like to change.
Food Importation: Nigeria is once known as one of the largest producers/exporter of cash crops but what I see today is very shocking. We now rely on food and other commodities imported to my country. We pay very little attention to agriculture since the discovery of crude oil in the last 90s.
There's no lie in what you have said, and it's so disheartening to see that Nigeria has begun depending on others for food.
In years to come, this crude oil of a business will no longer pay much to Nigeria.
Imagine Nigeria selling crude oil to USA at a low price, then going back to buy the refined crude oil at an higher price 😂😂.
It sounds funny but sincerely speaking, it is not.
Let's just see how all this ends
The idea about importing petroleum is a stupid one. The fact that we have crude oil in abundance means we should be able to refine it ourselves but for many years now all government refinary is not functioning and little is done to fix it.
Swears, it sucks bro 😩😤
