By T.H Mayo (Pics from Google) In November 2017 president Buhari announced that illegal importation of food is considered a threat to national security. By this pronouncement, all land borders were closed and local production of rice was encouraging through loans to farmers and the provision of farming inputs and dry season farmers were given the necessary attention.

Without even an iota of mercy, her progenies are malevolent to her in all aspects as there is neither honesty, nor good followership or rather citizenship in a substantial number of them. Some of them have become vicious bandits, terrorists, kidnappers,  some are suffering from the deleterious sickness of kleptocracy; looting from her treasury solely to attain their insatiable desire for materialism and of affluence.
