What do you expect. That it was a hoax. The UN has already raised an alarm about an impending food crises that will affect mostly, poor parts of the world such as Africa and will give a bad blow to the UN food programme. The increasing search for alternatives to oil and the massive conversion of food crops to ethanol spiralled by rising oil prices(now at $120) appears set to stay. I saw many people complaining about the price of rice on AIT which rose to about 12,000 naira and i said, but it's just the begining. Rice rose by 100% and Nigerians are still buying it. We should prepare for the worst. If govt does not do something about this soon by investing in agriculture, wait why am i even calling govt, business men and wome should see this as an opportunity to make money by investing heavily in agriculture so that it would be a more effective way of reducing the coming hunger that will affect the world, for if you are still asking if it will ever be, for sure it will come but we need to be prepared. Our oil may be useless to us if rich countries like the U.S.A. no longer buy our oil.
