Immatex:
Exact meaning of leading from 'the front lines'

At least he's manages to visit when harvesting is near.

This is SENSELESS leading oh, bro.
A state governor's/ government's responsibility is to provide the enabling environment and policies for private investors to have plantations (not farms) while it REGULATES them and collects appropriate TAXES from them.
Not all these photo shoot paparazzi with hoes.
Na who im dey fool?

Neanderthal way of farming.
Mumu man wey no fit pay salary. We are in Sept and the only salary this man has paid is January salary. Does he want them to use their blokos to buy seeds?
Will they eat grass after farming.

I love Benue

Nde nina to the tivs out there my stay in Benue, Gungul government School at the turn of the century was still the best time of my life.

People were very nice language was easy to learn and there was the peter mango (best in the world)

Those soybeans remind me of Aliade, Awajir, and Tse Agbaragba

By the way for those in the know what is the name of that smoked fish called white fish from river niger, I know the black fish is cat fish but the other one I need help with if you can post pics

they're called st. Peter's mango- very big

You try, but how many people can afford 1/10th of such land for farming?

That's rich, coming from a crook like him who made his fortunes stealing the same oil money

From the above ,you can deduce this settings was meant for pictures alone.Pictural government!.Waiting for that Daura President to start snapping with his cattles

klassic:
This is not what we want. Kindly establish farm settlement schemes like the late Obafemi Awolowo did, build for a start 500 unit of two bedroom flat apartments, provide farm inputs, plant plantations while you a busy building the houses, so when you are done the plantations are almost ready for harvest.
Also allocate farm lands to settlers a minimum of 20hacters per settles in not in one spot in different locations within the settlement, grade access roads, provide domentaries where they can buy farm inputs, hire tractors, ploughers, arrowers and planters for a start .Involve agricultural banks to give grants for farming and animal husbandry.

Stop fooling us sir. Enough is enough. I rise.

Lets be fair, can he achieve all youve listed in 3 years? Yes i said 3 years because the 4th year will be spent campaigning. My view is that no state can achieve much with the current complex federal system. The whole country needs restructuring. Let each region focus on developing their areas and then you'll see healthy competition.

cavemen...developed nations are improving their economy using science & technology, apc wants everyone to go back to farm. Who bewitched my country?

Good example, and i hope u stay dere

mercichoco:
In that case, i'l put the small portion of land in my backyard to use. Pls where can i buy igbo (weed) seed

that's a good business plan, on a more serious note, what'd you later do about the thighs you were complaining about?

Those thighs are stubborn upon my effort, so for now, i'l concentrate on diversifying my income source

I think some one in his position should be able to promote the use of mechanized farming this would be a good start

You obviously served in Gwer local govt.Hope you could handle the women too?

Samuel Ortom leading the way

If this was Fayose?

...when I said Any Nigerian who knows nothing about farming and rearing is bastard! some foolish groan here!

Bolustic:

Must you wail at every instance? If he does nothing, you complain, if he doesn't, you wail. How many machines-tractors, harvesters etc have the governor of your state provided?

BTW, these are the evidence of the fraud perpetrated by the fedora doffing PhD holder who claimed to have transformed the agricultural sector without any form of mechanization. Transformation indeed!!!

U DE ALWAYS SEE JONA 4 DREAM DE PURSUE U ABI? KWANTINUE...

Take Notice; I was not particularly reffering to one state. You will also notice I said it should be a PPP project cos it's a soft or interest free agricultural loan from the agricultural bank that will be used to finance it. So whether or not he is still in office, the project will go on.
While I am in support that there should be restructuring, what should we do before the restructuring eventually happens. Should we be idle?
We don't have to wait till all conditions are perfect after all its not a freebie, it's a long term loan with a simple feasible repayment plan.
E.g : if the entire project will take 300billion naira, the state government should borrow let's say 200 billion towards it and have the agricultural bank finance the remaining 100 billion and also set up measures to ensure the processes are well maintained and monitored while repayment takes place. It's way better than the Youwin or the 5k stipend that has and will gulp nearly 1trillion naira with little or nothing to show for it.
Another approach is this, let them involve the federal government to guarantee the entire process and also provide a counterpart funding for the entire process pending when the restructuring eventually takes place.

Some dream of two terms, why not concentrate during the first tenure and complete it with 2nd tenure?

The major reason why we are not making progress in the country is simple. Lack of focus and sincerity of purpose ,, then of course greed.

I don't care if the governor decides to establish the farm and converts the farm to his personal farm out of greed, for he will still employ labour, sell farm produce in the local market too. This will create jobs as well as reduce import dependency. I rise.

Xer0:
Nice photo shoot
He still believe we can be great by farming with cutlasses and hoes

The journey of a thousand miles starts with one step.

this man and propaganda sha...........................where is GHANA?

fantastic

How can a governor allow farmers dress like this isn't 2016 What happened to standard? what happened to safety? What happened to organizational appearance
