[size=18pt]Bill Gates Foundation trains 120 Ondo farmers on cassava processing [/size]

No fewer than 120 farmers in Ondo State have benefitted from a training programme funded with a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, in collaboration with the Natural Resource Institute in the United Kingdom.


Under the programme, known as the Cassava Adding Value For Africa, the beneficiaries are expected to train other farmers on the latest techniques and methods that could be employed to process cassava.

They were trained by resource persons from the University of Agriculture, Abeokuta and officials of the State Agric Development Project.

The Coordinator of the CAVA project in the state, Mr. Babasola Adeniyan, implored the participants to utilise the various cassava processing equipment distributed to them.

The equipment included Stainless Steel Cassava grater, and the Hydraulic Press and Jack. Processing slabs were also constructed for them.

The Programme Manager of the state Agricultural Development Project, Mr. Idowu Olabode, expressed the determination of the state government to further collaborate with the international donor agency to develop agriculture in the state.

He said the involvement of the Foundation would assist cassava producers and processors to increase their production and income.

He said the participants would diversify from cassava production to processing after the training programme and would become small-scale entrepreneurs and employers of labour.

I believe this is a great development.

This is quite good for our country!

How? Just want to know why you think so.

How? Just want to know why you think so.

training our people (nigerians) would reduce unemployment since all they need is a loan to get started and they wouldn't be scared of wasting the initial capital for investment.

also, it keeps their hand and minds busy, thus reducing crime rates.

it may also be the foundation for foreign investment in that sector of the country because of the aura and prestige bill gates attracts around the world.

those are my thoughts!

But these are already farmers. . . .  ti won ti n sise tele.

I believe the BGF are just trying to teach our farmers on casava techniques that would improve the production of casava. [I might be wrong tho].

[Thinking about amala fifun to fele fele. yum!]

I BELEVE THIS IS JUST A WAY OF REAPING US OFF ''IT WILL SOON SHOW OFF''.i KNOW SOME WILL ATTRIBUTE TO AN ENEMY OF PROGRESS, BUT BELIEVE ME THESE PPLE DON'T INVEST ND GET NOTHING BACK MORE THAT WHAT THEY INVETSED.

"omoge", ma ro iyen. Be optimistic 

i think this is good because

the farmers ccan improve the production
also, skills are been pass on to the farmers, thus making them semi-skilled

I'm a yoruba man and i agree with u in various respect but they are not all illiteretes, it's just that many yorubas are deceptive by nature.

The 120 trained Yoruba farmers are to train other farmers too which isn't limited to Yorubas alone. Common what has illeteracy got to do with cassava farming. Each tribe has it's own good and bad and stop castigating the Yorubas alone.

you are wrong on the bolded quote.  Not each tribe. Its the yoruba's. And my friend illiteracy has gotten much to do with this. How do you teach an illiterate to teach others? Where is that done?. This is where you keep on fooling yourselves

i once heard a preacherman called bill gate a satanist n claims he made his money 2ru mystical means, whateva that means i still admire the philanthropic personality of the microsoft giant. he was indeed done well for himself and humanity at large, his wealth and foundation he has willed it to the poor when he dies

what a rare gem

Bill Gates Talks About Vaccines to Reduce World Population

Microsoft founder and one of the world’s wealthiest men, Bill Gates, projects an image of a benign philanthropist using his billions via his (tax exempt) Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, to tackle diseases, solve food shortages in Africa and alleviate poverty. In a recent conference in California, Gates reveals a less public agenda of his philanthropy—population reduction, otherwise known as eugenics.

Gates made his remarks to the invitation-only Long Beach, California TED2010 Conference, in a speech titled, “Innovating to Zero!.” Along with the scientifically absurd proposition of reducing manmade CO2 emissions worldwide to zero by 2050, approximately four and a half minutes into the talk, Gates declares, "First we got population. The world today has 6.8 billion people. That's headed up to about 9 billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent." (author’s emphasis).

In plain English, one of the most powerful men in the world states clearly that he expects vaccines to be used to reduce population growth. When Bill Gates speaks about vaccines, he speaks with authority. In January 2010 at the elite Davos World Economic Forum, Gates announced his foundation would give $10 billion (circa €7.5 billion) over the next decade to develop and deliver new vaccines to children in the developing world.
The primary focus of his multi-billion dollar Gates Foundation is vaccinations, especially in Africa and other underdeveloped countries. Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is a founding member of the GAVI Alliance (Global Alliance for Vaccinations and Immunization) in partnership with the World Bank, WHO and the vaccine industry. The goal of GAVI is to vaccinate every newborn child in the developing world.

Now that sounds like noble philanthropic work. The problem is that the vaccine industry has been repeatedly caught dumping dangerous—meaning unsafe because untested or proven harmful—vaccines onto unwitting Third World populations when they cannot get rid of the vaccines in the West. Some organizations have suggested that the true aim of the vaccinations is to make people sicker and even more susceptible to disease and premature death.
Dumping toxins on the Third World

In the aftermath of the most recent unnecessary Pandemic declaration of a global H1N1 swine flu emergency, industrial countries were left sitting on hundreds of millions of doses of untested vaccines. They decided to get rid of the embarrassing leftover drugs by handing them over to the WHO which in turn plans to dump them for free on select poor countries. France has given 91 million of the 94 million doses the Sarkozy government bought from the pharma giants; Britain gave 55 million of its 60 million doses. The story for Germany and Norway is similar.
As Dr. Thomas Jefferson, an epidemiologist with the Cochrane Research Center in Rome noted, “Why do they give the vaccines to the developing countries at all? The pandemic has been called off in most parts of the world. The greatest threat in poor countries right now is heart and circulatory diseases while the virus figures at the bottom of the list. What is the medical reason for donating 180 million doses?” As well, flu is a minor problem in countries with abundant sunshine, and it turned out that the feared H1N1 Pandemic “new great plague” was the mildest flu on record.

The pharmaceutical vaccine makers do not speak about the enormous health damage from infant vaccination including autism and numerous neuro-muscular deformities that have been traced back to the toxic adjuvants and preservatives used in most vaccines. Many vaccines, especially multi-dose vaccines that are made more cheaply for sale to the Third World, contain something called Thimerosal (Thiomersol in the EU), a compound (sodium ethylmercurithiosalicylate), containing some 50% mercury, used as a preservative.

In July 1999 the US’ National Vaccine Information Center declared in a press release that, "The cumulative effects of ingesting mercury can cause brain damage." The same month, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) alerted the public about the possible health effects associated with thimerosal-containing vaccines. They strongly recommended that thimerosal be removed from vaccines as soon as possible. Under the directive of the FDA Modernization Act of 1997, the Food and Drug Administration also determined that infants who received several thimerosal-containing vaccines may be receiving mercury exposure over and above the recommended federal guidelines.
A new form of eugenics?

Gates’ interest in inducing population reduction among black and other minority populations is not new unfortunately. As I document in my book, Seeds of Destruction, since the 1920’s the Rockefeller Foundation had funded the eugenics research in Germany through the Kaiser-Wilhelm Institutes in Berlin and Munich, including well into the Third Reich. They praised the forced sterilization of people by Hirtler Germany, and the Nazi ideas on race “purity.” It was John D. Rockefeller III, a life-long advocate of eugenics, who used his “tax free” foundation money to initiate the population reduction neo-Malthusian movement through his private Population Council in New York beginning in the 1950’s.

The idea of using vaccines to covertly reduce births in the Third World is also not new. Bill Gates’ good friend, David Rockefeller and his Rockefeller Foundation were involved as early as 1972 in a major project together with WHO and others to perfect another “new vaccine.”

The results of the WHO-Rockefeller project were put into mass application on human guinea pigs in the early 1990's. The WHO oversaw massive vaccination campaigns against tetanus in Nicaragua, Mexico and the Philippines. Comite Pro Vida de Mexico, a Roman Catholic lay organization, became suspicious of the motives behind the WHO program and decided to test numerous vials of the vaccine and found them to contain human Chorionic Gonadotrophin, or hCG. That was a curious component for a vaccine designed to protect people against lock-jaw arising from infection with rusty nail wounds or other contact with certain bacteria found in soil. The tetanus disease was indeed, also rather rare. It was also curious because hCG was a natural hormone needed to maintain a pregnancy. However, when combined with a tetanus toxoid carrier, it stimulated formation of antibodies against hCG, rendering a woman incapable of maintaining a pregnancy, a form of concealed abortion. Similar reports of vaccines laced with hCG hormones came from the Philippines and Nicaragua.
Gates’ ‘Gene Revolution in Africa’

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, along with David Rockefeller’s Rockefeller Foundation, the creators of the GMO biotechnology, are also financing a project called The Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) headed by former UN chief, Kofi Annan. Accepting the role as AGRA head in June 2007 Annan expressed his “gratitude to the Rockefeller Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and all others who support our African campaign.” The AGRA board is dominated by people from both the Gates’ and Rockefeller foundations.


Monsanto, DuPont, Dow, Syngenta and other major GMO agribusiness giants are reported at the heart of AGRA, using it as a back-door to spread their patented GMO seeds across Africa under the deceptive label, ‘bio-technology,’ a euphemism for genetically engineered patented seeds. The person from the Gates Foundation responsible for its work with AGRA is Dr. Robert Horsch, a 25-year Monsanto GMO veteran who was on the team that developed Monsanto’s RoundUp Ready GMO technologies. His job is reportedly to use Gates’ money to introduce GMO into Africa.


To date South Africa is the only African country permitting legal planting of GMO crops. In 2003 Burkina Faso authorized GMO trials. In 2005 Kofi Annan’s Ghana drafted bio-safety legislation and key officials expressed their intentions to pursue research into GMO crops. AGRA is being used to create networks of “agro-dealers” across Africa, at first with no mention of GMO seeds or herbicides, in order to have the infrastructure in place to massively introduce GMO.

Seriously farming has been existing during the lives of our great grand parents and they were all illiterates. Don't these so called illiterates know how to drive a car not to talk of a farming truck. We are not talking about corporate jobs here rather we are discussing farming that requires little or no secondary education.
