The driver's uncle was very interested, slowed down the car a little, and listened to Perona very seriously. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Miss Perona, please go on!"

Perona nodded and said: "I have seen a data before, your Nigeria has a land area of 920,000 square kilometers and a population of 180 million, which is the top ten most populous countries in the world and the most populous country in Africa, but your agriculture is very backward, and your food output ranks last among all countries in the world!" But your population growth rate is among the highest in the world, so I wonder why a country that relies on imports for food is growing so fast? ”

The driver is also very curious, Nigeria's population is growing rapidly, but the production of food can not keep up, the countryside is better to say, the problem of the city is very big, and with the gradual increase in population, the number of people carried by the city will be more and more, taking the capital Abuja as an example, the population of the city was only 500,000 ten years ago, but now, at the beginning of 2012, the population of the city has exceeded 2 million, and it is still increasing rapidly.

But as the size of the city increases, the food consumption of the people living in the city will increase dramatically, but with the current level of agriculture in Nigeria, it is simply impossible for them to be self-sufficient, and then they will need to import a lot of food every year.

"I found that the quality of life of your urban people is not as good as that of your rural people! I see that in the rural areas, the people here seem to be living more comfortably, they look healthier, they all have smiles on their faces, they seem to be living a good life, but your agriculture is so backward, why don't they have a food crisis? Shouldn't the income in rural areas be much lower than in urban areas? ”

Perona looked at the driver with interest and asked a question.

The driver's uncle blurted out: "That's because there are fruit trees everywhere in the countryside, they don't need to work at all, and they don't need to worry about their livelihood, as long as they have fruit, they can pick and eat it when the fruit is ripe, so they will be so comfortable!" ”

Perona smiled and said, "It seems that you have a problem in your own heart!" ”

The driver was a little ashamed, and he understood what Perona meant, but in the whole of Nigeria, there are too few people who are willing to work.

"I have checked the information, 75% of your 920,000 square kilometers of land is very suitable for growing food, and Nigeria is located near the equator, the temperature is very high, there is no spring, summer, autumn and winter, there is only a rainy season and a dry season a year, and the dry season on your side is actually not short of water, so if these lands are used well, it is not a problem to feed eight or nine billion people! You know, you have 1.2 billion mu of arable land, and all of them are fertile black land, and the Chinese only have 1.8 billion mu of arable land, of which most of them are dry land, but other people's grain production can reach 200 million tons per year! And your grain production is only 180,000 tons, how much difference is this? That's 1100 times! Other people's mu yield is more than 800 times that of yours! ”

Perona's tone has always been calm, but after hearing these words, the driver's uncle always felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and he felt uncomfortable.

"Why is this happening? In fact, the main thing is that the products on your side are too rich, even if you don't farm, you won't starve to death, or even don't starve at all, because the rainfall on your side is abundant, the land is fertile, and the temperature is relatively high, so the plants grow very fast, so a large number of fruit trees provide you farmers with enough food, I found that no one on your side at this time is not sowing at all, a large amount of land is vacant, some paddy fields are planted with food, but the weeds in the paddy fields grow more dense and stronger than rice, And then I didn't see anyone managing it. ”

"Of course, the product is so abundant and inexhaustible, if you don't pick it, it will be a pity, but after your farmers have eaten enough, they don't want to farm, they would rather do nothing, lie comfortably at home, bask in the sun, sleep at home, and don't want to farm, anyway, they won't starve, and it doesn't matter if they don't farm!"

Perona smiled slightly, and then said: "But there is a problem, that is, there is no problem with the life of these farmers in the countryside, but there is a problem with the life of the urban population, because the agricultural grain production in your country is too low, so those citizens in the city who do not farm and can't pick enough fruits will have a difficult food problem. There are no big agricultural countries in the whole of Africa, and there are very few countries that can export grain to the outside world, so your food imports need to consume a lot of money every year. This is not good news for your already not very rich foreign exchange reserves! ”

In fact, Perona sighed very much, a country is too rich in products, and it will become a bottleneck that hinders the development of this country, this kind of thing she has traveled all over the world, and I am afraid that it can only be encountered in countries like Africa.

A country has a lot of land, and it is all high-quality land, Nigeria is located on the African plains, they are in a good position, the country can cultivate a lot of land, but their grain production is too stumbling, only 180,000 tons a year! If you want to achieve this yield, in China, only 300,000 mu of land can be done, two crops a year, one season of rice and one season of wheat, you can reach this number!

The amount of arable land in Nigeria is counted in "100 million", so she can't imagine how these people can achieve such "brilliant" achievements.

In the past, I always heard people say that African people are lazy, not that others are too diligent, so it seems that they are lazy, but they are naturally lazy, and lazy food seems to have been engraved in their genes.

Africans are lazy, not because they don't pursue, but because their location is really good, the living environment here is too friendly, they don't have to worry about life at all, they have food if they don't farm, and they don't need to wear clothes to keep warm when the temperature is very high, so that everyone has no worries about food and clothing, so what is the pursuit?

According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, after they have solved the most basic needs, they have already been satisfied, and then they have no motivation and no purpose!
