Nigeria faces significant economic challenges including a national debt that grew from zero in 2007 to nearly 200 trillion naira by 2026, and an agricultural sector that produces less than 10% of rice needed for its 200 million population, yet the country imports rice while possessing vast uncultivated farmland in the north (60,000 square kilometers, three times the size of Israel) that could generate more revenue than oil exports; addressing these issues requires collective national effort, productive work culture, and unity among all Nigerians regardless of region.

Peter Obi Speaking At the Speir Conference In Johannesburg South AfricaAdded:
Hi guys, welcome back to the channel Mark here with another exciting, lighting and much interesting video. So this is coming from the spear conference 2026 in Johannesburg South Africa and his excellency Mr. Peter Obi was one of the guest speaker at that particular event. Yes, this is like some of the direct update are coming from there. not forget he actually spoke to the people the Nigerians or let me just say the immigrant in uh South Africa in Cape Town and he was there for some days and you can find that video in my channel right after that he moved to Johannesbong to speak at the spear conference in Johannesb he was there for I think for like two or three days and it's been information back to back this is going to be like a highlight of the entire situation or the conference in Johannes Bong South Africa and of course he addressed issues. I posted a video here where he met with some of the ministers of the country and he dialogue with them concerning the current issues happening with foreigners in Johannesburg. Take a look at the video. Please don't forget for subscribe if you're new here. Drop a comment in the comment section. Guys, United States is a change agent. We want our children. Don't think that those of us who have children abroad are actually the losers cuz they'll never go home.
He was talking about why will anybody go where anybody I have people who their parents die they didn't even come home so you lose somebody don't come your parents even tell you don't come so that's why you must reverse it amen Amen. Very very important. Please stay here as a family.
Try to love and care for each other. Don't think that if it happens to me, it didn't happen to us.
Whatever is going through is what we are going through. So do let's pray for each other. Let's pray for each other. Is important that we stay together. That's what we lost as a community. So people feel it's happening to happen to people to this. No. Oh in the north insec no we need a north. in the east. Today the greatest asset of Nigeria is in the north, not oil. Our greatest asset is not cultivated land in the north. If we cultivate it, we can make more money from it than we making from oil. But because we unproductive having problem share oil money, how much do we make in oil every year? We make less than 304 billion from oil. That is nonsense. We putting in good doing everything we consume everything we do.
We consume and all that. We have problem today with Bonu Sa forest. This is uncultivated far.
your contributed family.
You know what farmers are doing. You know what farmers are doing everywhere state forest area and giving us problem in 60,000 square kilometers of land that is three times the size of Israel. Israel is 22,000 km of land. So just see that and exporting food and we're not doing that.
We are importing rice today is the most consumed food in Nigeria. We shouldn't be doing that. Tiny country like Bangladesh now produces rice of over 60 million pounds.
produce 10% of that gives 148,000 kilome of life with over 170 million people. So it's evident and we have two states Niger said that 76.3 said that 70.8 is able to population. We're not productive. We're looking for money to share.
Everybody's looking for money to speak. No works like that. And when you say it, people don't want to know. People think even against church because church is critical.
Church is important. So we can do it Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
From Monday we are back to work. All V from Monday to to Thursday must be factory so we can produce something.
It's very important. But we must pray for blessing something. We're not going to pray for God to bless us for doing nothing.
It is critical for us. We must change our lifestyle and be able to use money for the purpose is meant for money is not meant for celebration. for production.
So here now we turn into so my young people all of us owe it a duty to do the right thing. I'm happy with what I made today are together. Keep doing it.
Keep calling the right people. Don't think Boru is different. Don't think Kaduna is different.
Don't think they are Buddhist. Don't think you kill people in or they are different.
Don't think that people in state. If it happens anywhere in Nigeria, we have a problem in Nigeria. That teacher that was killed in he killed all of us.
It's none of us that they kill because the world is seeing us like that. Why would they prefer to you when there happens everywhere but as the world that's why I'm begging you this night help us in building that new Nigeria that Nigeria where you respect that Nigeria where immigration everybody sees you as a human being that Nigeria when you travel out people will respect you that Nigeria where people's earning can buy them food. Not when I go to fill the tank of my car and it cost me 200,000 when somebody is being paid 70,000. So you need three months.
Does it make sense?
The society we are today for those of you who are heading anybody calling anybody desperate. The society we are destroying today will take his revenge on your children.
Let's build it. God bless you.
Thank you his excellency. Thank you so much. Um great Nigerians, this has been a wonderful night.
Um whatever has a beginning will surely have an end. But be rest assured this is not the last. We are going to be with his excellency. Before uh he leaves I will want us to have a closing prayer. We may not have started with opening prayer because of the situation on ground. So I'm going to Okay to David to pray David House of Representative you are now distinguished. We will distinguish you.
You know, they cannot continue to be honorable when they totally dishonorable. It is time to question. So don't tell me we should respect you. Who are you? We don't need to do two things differently. We need to look at ourselves. So there's no Yes. How you going to tackle the debt? No problem. We're going to tackle it. Nigeria was a country that had no debt in 2007 because of Jon.
It was all forgiven. Our entire debt in 2015 was 13 trillion.
Our entire death today is almost 200 trillion.
The tip that when it comes to electoral processes like this and Nigerians that are in diaspora are really disenfranchised. So my question is when you become the president what modalities are you going to put in place to ensure that we are actually incorporated into this whole electoring and election itself that's one my first question secondly I want to find out from your excellency um why did you take me picture when I was with Keep his name.
Hold on.
