Nice one

OBAGADAFFI:


And the oyel in Lagos belongs to who.

There is no oil in lagos... Pure scam to decide the gullible...

Huh

lomprico:

For ur mind u just make sense. U no know say na d oil money dem use build/buy all these equipment?
Dem go carry the oil money dey develop their place.

Even private and foreign investors dey carry niger delta oyel money come from their country sef...


crazy people plenty on NL I swear..

This is a good eample of diversification not those preaching it to our ear everytime, without an intending action to back it up...example.....Bayelsa state govt.

If this had been done previously there would be no Boko Haram to speak of.

Also, the article speaks of a 'test stage'. We know how pet projects often die in Nigeria but if this is sustained by the people in the north east then everyone will benefit.

A third point - how are they generating power? I didn't see any solar panels. How are they keeping the produce from rotting without adequate refrigeration?

How about transport? How are they getting produce to the retailers and food processors? Until proper highways and railways are built across the country then much of this hard work will be in vain?

All of these questions are why I will keep arguing that the northern leadership (and most of the northern populace) have misplaced priorities. When they were agitating for Sharia law they should have been fighting for better infrastructure. It's only now that Boko Haram have exposed how foolish they are there is a need for tangible development and not slavish devotion to middle eastern dogma.

Is it a must that the SS rich in oil and gas must be farmers? , the oil and gas in SS can buy borno * 100 with all the farm output and can also pay labourers until there lifetime...

Lol. Yorubas finding ways to weaking the oil rich Niger deltas while the truth remains that they feed this country with their crude oil.

I beg come see hater. D thing dey pain am

Amberon:
Then leave our oil for us. Chest beater!!

If you must know, an average northerner doesn't care about oil, in fact they know nothing about oil.
An average northerner is peasant in nature, takes life as it comes on daily basis, they don't worry themselves to much about tomorrow, coz they believe tomorrow might never come.
An average northerner cares more about his farm land and cattle, as far he can farm to feed his family, milk his cow for sales, his comfortable.
There are so many countries without oil that are doing better than Nigeria.
In fact Nigeria was better off as an agricultural exporting country than petroleum. So what's the fuss about.
Dangote and dantata were already Africa billionaires before discovery of oil. They built groundnut pyramids and invest in other agro related business.
An average northerner doesn't care what becomes of the Niger delta oil. Or how many times do you hear of a northerner complaining about PMS price or drop in global oil sales.
Please shove the our oil nonsense in your arse.

The Home of Peace is ready to embrace and live up to its slogan





I like that..

Fool of the first order!

The oil blocks owned by Atiku, Folurunsho Alakija, Danjuma etc were gotten how? If you don't care about oil, why then os resource control or true federalism not practiced in Nigeria?
Is it not your coolish leaders at the helm of affairs WHO Want to leech us dry?

You don't care about oil but Niger Delta oil Has fed and is still feeding the Nation for decades.

Youve said it all, you're all peasants and peasants you shall remain.

State wey e get sense. South south dey feel say Na oil dem go die put.

I think it'll be nice if all the northern states submit all their proceeds from farming to the center let's use it to run the country and see how far.

You so silly and ignorant. I don't need to trade words with a demented fellow like you. If not you won't be giving me list of politicians in the north when am talking about 80% of northerners.
Perhaps your parents where still miles apart when the same Nigeria fed from the country's agricultural system before the Oil boom. Even the free education your parents enjoy was as a result of funds generated from agriculture.
You must be an illiterate if you think being a peasant farmer is a curse.

and why did they post it here for us to see abi make those bad boy should know the place and bomb there or to buy from there smh!!!!!

When it comes to farming (not sure about other agric practices) in particular, forget the Hausas. I could remember what they made of the land now used as the Makurdi golf course on the north side of the river bank before Akume's second term. Used to go buy very fresh vegetables from them, the best you could get back then. They grew a lot of things there from tomatoes, garden eggs, sugar cane, ugwu, water leaf, pepper, etc through crude irrigation- their crops flourished regardless of the season.

Somehow, Akume found it necessary to chase them out and convert the place to one useless golf course when they could simply go down to the NASME barracks which is just a stone throw away to play golf if they wanted to. Now, a good portion of the place is overgrown with weed...

Good to see the people of Borno doing this against all odds. God bless their grind and that of other honest and hardworking Nigerians.

Then, that so call Akume must be invited by EFCC for using public fund to mess up public asset.

This project is not in Borno
Op confirm your post and fact check your facts

EasternActivist:


The oil you claim to have in ondo is owned by the ijaw community in the state.

In the mean time enjoy your foolishness boy...

Here comes the landgrabbing shameless people of Nigeria. You should go dash them nah, oil thieves. I dont know your problem, you dont even have any single shame and reason people piss on you miscreant everywhere. Soon you will tell us the one in Lagos is owned by Ebonyi people. Shameless oil thief

Its good to see something modern in Agricultural production as it affects Borno (despite the insecurity). I pray he remains focus and do more. I also hope he puts in place targets and clear objectives for adequate measurement o.

I know my people , He should be mindful of sycophants and hypocrites. He should only bring people that are result oriented while doing his best. If you can't deliver simple set aside. To do rankadadai is not part of job description and as such be done away with.

If the security situation improves and the challenge is minimized greatly. I have my plans to invest with in my LGA in Agriculture - certain crops and livestock.I pray we get pass the current situation.

Kudos Mr Governor !!! We pray

While I would love Nigeria to move beyond dependence on oil and applaud every state government on a diversification drive,we must not lie to ourselves.At the moment the nation cannot do without oil and if it dries up tomorrow,the nation will crumble,look at the hardship a fall in crude oil is inflicting. That been said,every sabotage of all facilities in the Niger delta must be discourage cos it affects everybody,especially its inhabitants.

For ur mind u just make sense. U no know say na d oil money dem use build/buy all these equipment?
Dem go carry the oil money dey develop their place.

All the oil money the south south states have realised,ask yourself what have they done with it ? They blame the centre always & has never question or query their own states govt . Other states are planning diversification & very soon,the oil producing communities will see meme after they must have polluted their land.

Ever thought why Fulanis and their cows don't invade farms in the North?

if a Fulani invades the farm of a Kanuri man it would turn bloody because the Kanuris hates the Fulanis guts. They only pretend to be one if it involves Arewa issue but back home there is no love lost.

Their idea of turning it to gulf course was wrong. Now its not functioning and they promised to pay our parents compensation but nobody get a dime from them.

bcus of laziness... na dis oil dei cause trouble for una

Pavore9:

That is why l pity those who are blowing up the pipelines, further polluting their own environment thereby limiting agricultural ventures thriving in that region.

The proceeds from Agriculture tends to impact more on an individual as against that of oil. I prefer to be from a non-oil producing community, l engage the land and bring forth bountiful harvest, things are within my control, not where only some criminals elements are the only ones benefiting from the oil in the community while majority are starved off the benefits that should have been accrued and worst still the land can not provide an alternative means of sustenance!

so why are you people so fixated on the oil? Crash of oil prices with booming agriculture yet governors cant pay salaries, including the south west states except lagos.

Do you think it is only kids senseless kids on this forum?

. An issue is that most Nigerians constantly criticise the successive Federal Govt,but neglect the state Govts. Blatant and shameless corruption goes on at that level.... As a Benue boy,I can attest to the fact that all you have said is TRUE.

I didn't read your crap!! peasant!!

That's why your people come to the south to beg! You lots should grateful to Lord Lugard and eternally grateful to the SS.

Now get lost.

Who is fixated on oil? You think am one of the regular minds who thinks oil is everything? If l can make N250,000 monthly from half plot of land doing vertical bag farming, why should l be bothered with oil? Take your swipe at the lazy governors not me, take a trip to the Agric section and you will realise that you are directing your anger at the wrong person!

battle for supremacy happens everywhere. It also happened when Nigeria got independence from Britain.
