Economic hardship: Our Problem Not From God – Shehu Sani

Former Kaduna lawmaker and social critic, Senator Shehu Sani has warned Nigerians that the problems bedevilling Nigeria is not from God.

He stated this on Monday.

In a post on his X handle, the social critic said Nigeria has natural resources that other countries will never have.

The statement comes amid a report that a massive crowd had besieged the Zonal Office of the Nigerian Customs Service in Yaba, Lagos, to purchase the discounted 25kg bags of rice being sold at reduced prices, leading to a stampede in which some lives were lost.

Sani explained that the country’s problem is not from God as there are over 200 rivers in the country with a well nourished arable land of 923,768 kmsq.

According to him, Nigeria has virile men and fertile women more than any other country in Africa.

He wrote, “There are over 200 rivers in this country and we have a well nourished arable land of 923,768 kmsq. We have the natural resources that other countries will never have. We have virile men and fertile women more than any other country in our continent.

“We have no earthquakes, hurricanes or monsoon. What can grow in Thailand, Pakistan or Brazil can grow in this country. We want manna. Even the people who received the last plates of manna from Heaven have now turned their Desert Green. Our problem is not from God.”
