1. The Minster of Agriculture made this statement that money has been pumped into the failed policy. Judging by past antecedents of NOI, Aganga, Okupe, Moro...... GEJ's minsters are mostly liars. Only Agric Minister has seen 20% Cassava composite. Honeywell that produces it reports 5% and 10% respectively.

2. No opinion poll or people were interviewed about their preference for cassava bread if it exists outside of Aso Rock

3. Out of the hundreds of thousands if not millions of bakeries in Nigeria only 26 bakers produce Cassava bread regularly. Is that successful to you? It is not even up to a drop in the ocean.

Abeg stop defending failure and cluelessness.

Bros read more. Cassava bread is already part of our staple diet and has been for a while.

http://www.channelstv.com/2013/12/21/nigeria-commits-4-3-billion-naira-to-cassava-flour-processing/

The Nigerian government is spending 4.3 billion Naira (about 27.6 million dollars) on the upgrading of small Cassava flourmills and processors.


The fund is to be managed by the Bank of Industry (BOI).

The Minister of Agriculture, Akinwumi Adesina and the Managing Director of the BOI, Evelyn Oputu, signed the Cassava Bread Fund agreement.

It is also aimed at providing ready market for Cassava farmers.

“As we speak today, six industrial corporate bakers and 20 master bakers produce Cassava bread regularly with at least 20 per cent high quality Cassava flour.

“Nigerians like this bread. It is healthier, tastier and cheaper and the demand for it is rising by the day.

By the way do you expect him to admit that the policy has failed?
Only the Agric Minister has seen 20% Cassava composite. Honeywell that produces it reports 5% and 10% cassava respectively.
2. No opinion poll or people were interviewed about their preference for cassava bread if it exists outside of Aso Rock
3. Youvr got to be kidding. Out of the hundreds of thousands if not millions of bakeries in Nigeria only 26 bakers produce Cassava bread regularly. Is that successful to you? It is not even up to a drop in the ocean.
Abeg stop defending failure and cluelessness.

joeyfire:

1. The Agric minister didn't say the monies have been released. Disbursement is more complex than you think. It is done in tranches and according to performance milestones. What does Okupe and Abba Moro have to do with this topic please?. Stay focused. The news article states that 6 industrial corporate bakers (which produce hundreds of thousands of loaves a day) and 20 master bakers who equally produce in large quantities are currently doing 20% BEFORE this government intervention. 5000 bakeries will be producing AFTER the upgrading of the cassava flour mills.
2. Stop clutching at straws oga. The government does not need to do a poll before it carries out a policy on taste of bread. The government carries out an impact assessment study which was done almost ten years ago. Chai !

Read again because you're not following my comments.

I will try you one more time.

1. Show me any evidence that 20% Cassava composite flour is currently in the market and don't quote the FG claims. Which company produces it?
Honeywell produced 5% and 10% cassava composite respectively because it is an FG directive.

2. I am talking about the penetration of the so called Cassava bread today in the market and you're bringing up an impact assessment allegedly carried out 10years ago (without link self). Have you seen cassava bread being sold in the streets/stalls presently? If yes show pics or links pls.

3. When did 26 bakers become representative of the number of bakeries in Nigeria?

Just like Mimiko's tomato paste. I schooled where the factory was said to be located. Even if the paste CANNOT get to Akure the state capital, which is over 1hour drive, at least it should get to the next town where my school is located. A 10-minutes journey!

OSRC, the Ondo State Radiovision Corporation really made a fool of us!!

joeyfire:


Your questions 1 - 3 are saying the same thing. Why are you trying to mix different issues and confuse yourself. So from saying in your initial post that cassava is bad for our health you are now claiming that the issue is about market penetration. If you don't know be informed that government policies are meant to drive growth in sectors. If you don't know please be aware that Honeywell does not bake bread, his mill produces the flour that makes the bread and you can't forcefully instruct a mill owner to upgrade his multi billion machinery specifically designed for wheat flour to start making 20% overnight.

AAUA? Iroko is a failure in ondo state n Akoko expecially.

My friend, arrange your lies properly.

1. The major states of Nigeria which produce cassava are Anambra, Delta, Edo, Benue, Cross River, Imo, Oyo, and Rivers, and to a lesser extent Kwara and Ondo.

Cassava production dominates the southern part of the country, both in terms of area covered and number of farmers growing the crop. those mills you claim are closer to the southern states.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassava_production_in_Nigeria

Your phantom friend is going on a fool's errand in Taraba and Nassarawa States.

2. Those flour mills are for feedstock for industrial starch manufacturing and animal feed. Not for mixing cassava with wheat bread.

Like I said before, learn to arrange your lies properly before spewing them just in support of GEJ.

1LRNZH:


A by force directive is what you call a success?
Only a few select bakers were trained. We are yet to see the bread from this 5%-10% cassava composite flour.

Show us link to prove the 20% Cassava in Honeywell composite flour as you claim...... I dey wait

The bread is available. I watched the event on TV though. Its like I mixed up the commissioning of the equipment to raise the bar to 20 % with having that already.

I am too honest to lie. Check my posts! If it is not the fact, I don't go there.

But I can as well say that getting the equipment to enable the actualisation of 20% is as good as getting actualising the 20%.

Bottom line, Cassava bread policy is not a failure. It is a success. When the president talked about it in 2012, you mocked him.
How long does it take to carry out research for a new product?

A three -year phd studentship is awarded in the UK and sometimes nothing comes out of it. A 2-3 year postdoc(renewable) can also be awarded. Here, GEJ proposed a hypothesis in 2012 and by 2014, we have reached almost the final milestone and you call that a failure? Failure on whose scale? APC?

LRNZH:


So you have stylishly agreed that there is no 20% cassava composite flour in reality. One lie debunked.
OK we are making progress.

Show me evidence of a cassava bread in the market.
Let's measure how successful it is.
I am waiting

agabaI23:
You cannot call that a lie. It was not deliberate like the barefaced lies you guys tell.

Before you demand any other thing go and reply the link I sent to you.

LRNZH:


Deliberate or not, it is not true that there is 20% Cassava composite flour in existence in Nigeria which you have admitted to. So that's a lie.

You can't come to a public forum and be misleading people with indeliberate lies. The damage people like you do whether deliberate or not, is what I'm trying to forestall. We have to save the masses from dangerous people like you.

Again, evidence of cassava bread in the market. I'm waiting for you....

Goddex:
[size=13pt]OP, stop making a fool of yourself.

You eat cassava bread everyday and not know it.
All flour mills in the country were mandated to step up the quantity of cassava flour mixed with wheat.

My friend is smiling to the bank from this business. He goes to middle belt - (Taraba, Nasarawa and Benue) to get the cassava flour in several lorry loads and supply to flour milling companies. He is not even alone in this business, many Nigerians are taking advantage.

You eat casava bread[/size]

Mr. Alphabet. You should be sharp enough to lnow that there is a bakery section in Superstores like SHOPRITE. Just get an associate in Apapa to confirm.


If you do not realise it, we seem to share a political preference but thats where it ends. Go through my posts. Unlike you, I am concerned with more serious issues than cassava bread.

I sincerely hope you are not supporting change for stomach infrastrucure because you will be a disappointment.


You have been on this forum since 2006. Much is expected from you and certainly better than this.

You must not win every argument because facts are sacred.
