The Minister of Agriculture, Audu Ogbeh, caused a stir online a few hours ago after a video of him surfaced which saw him saying some Nigerians have British Airways help bring down pizza’s ordered from London to Nigeria.
In his words;
“Do you know, sir, that there are Nigerians who use their cellphones to import pizza from London? They buy in London and bring it on British Airways in the morning to pick up at the airport,” he said.
“It is a very annoying situation and we have to move a lot faster in cutting down some of these things,” Mr Ogbeh said.
The minister continued saying;
“Toothpick every year costs us $18 million; tomato paste costs us $400 million. Meanwhile, a basket of tomatoes is less than N2,000,” he said.
“The farmers are losing money because the processors do not have enough funds to set up factories,” he said.
“Two factories have started off. I am sure by the end of next year we can comfortably tell the importers of tomato paste to stop,” he said.
Nigerians have since taken to social media to react to this latest information and yes, some comments were hilarious.
Incase you woke up to see British Airways trending, Panic North!

How President @MBuhari’s minister of agriculture can expect us to believe Nigerians now order pizza from London, beats me. Dont forget this is the same man who wanted to import grass from Brazil for Nigerian cows. Why are we cursed with such comedians as leaders? #RenosDarts

But what's annoying about using cellphone to order Pizza from London? Were any laws broken? You want to ban something?
