More tomatoes rut in Nigeria than are eaten. The problem is the
infrastructure (transportation) – to get the tomatoes down south from where
they are grown up North. Instead of the previous governments investing in
robust transportation, they have instead turned Nigeria into the largest
importer of tomato products in the world. So Nigeria now depends on India,
Italy, China e.t.c., for Tomatoes, while the (better quality) ones grown
locally simply rut away.

In a way, this scarcity is a good thing. It will awaken the people to the
truth and hopefully force the government to do something about it.

I will pray for the tomato shortage, but Kayode’s presence IN FRONT of the
camera takes center stage…We are always glad to see him!!!

Real reason: A pest known as Tuta absoluta has reportedly affected tomato
farms in Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina and Plateau states.
