Foodstuff and cattle dealers across the Northern part of the country have started diverting their goods and all consumables to Niger Republic and Cameron. They have also begun blocking trade routes to the South by stopping food items laden trucks from going south.
However, this information of food diversion to other countries had went viral on social media and other news sources.

Not just demanding for billions of naira for compensation, they also said that the Southerners will apologize to them for burning down their markets, houses, goods and properties worth billions of naira.
This threat from the northerners had got many people talking on social media especially the Southerners, who maintained that they will stop transporting oil to the Northern part of the country if that is the case.
They countiued saying after destroying their farms, and carrying out other evil activities like kidnapping, rapping and killing innocent citizens and also used their cows to destroy their farms.

This prompted reactions from People especially Reno Omokri the activist of #FreeLeahSharibu, who tweeted below;
"I have no sympathy for southern states over the Northern food embargo. Southern Nigeria is one of the largest consumers of French champagne. We have money. We just like to consume. Let the embargo force us to become prosumers: people who consume what they produce".

03-01 09:18:28It seems like this people are mad, what about the farmers you killed and destroyed their farms? or are they not Nigerian citizens? Now I understand why you destroyed southerners farms with your stupid cows hoping for a time like this. God is mocking all of you. Whatever you sow you shall reap million times. We must survive without your food.
