I have been on Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria (CRIN) and Nigeria Institute for Oil Palm Research's (NIFOR) website respectively trying to buy Cashew Nuts Seeds and Coconut Seedlings, but I would never be able to because of some corrupt individuals working against the interest of agriculture in the country. For goodness sake, what will it cost you to have a user friendly website where payments can easily be made and my products delivered to wherever I am in the country?

These are institutes heavily subsidised and are solely established to cater for the agricultural needs of Nigeria. However, buying anything from them is near impossible as some of their workers are rumoured to resell at exorbitant prices to not so willing but powerless buyers. To make this into perspective, NIFOR sells a seedling of Coconut for 1500 and the least you can probably get that outside their walls is 2500. Some go as selling for 5000 or even more. For CRIN's cashew nuts jumbo seeds, the establishment sells for 1500 per kg and you get that around 4500 or even more from these ugly individuals.

It takes forever for them to reply your emails, the phone details are not easily seen, they most probably don't have one. The only thing that works well with lack of transparency is the desire to steal, exploit, and/or extort. Call it anything, it's most likely a negative thing.

My question will be, why do we love exploiting and wreaking havocs on ourselves? How difficult is it to be a decent human being? Are we so useless we can't seem to get anything right? I believe we can do better and we should be doing better.

Admin, please kindly move to the front page. Let their ogas respond to these allegations.

Hehehe.

Nigerians make simple things to become complex . Once there is no avenue to loot,they don't do their jobs.

Agriculture should be given extra attention. If money no da atlist make food cheap .

Nigerians are fantastically corrupt people. They need iron hand, not sissies like Obi lamba that his wife shouts on him to stay in Lagos and his ipobic followers bark on him to delete tweets.

Toor!
And they want to share 8k to family's to consume and become hungry again. APC is a menace to Nigeria

Obi is not in charge of Nigeria and had never been. Why blame Obi for the corruption under APC?

If it is not corruption that made a looser the president, then tell me who is the problem of Nigeria. Obi I guess!

Very true! I once wrote to IITA (ibadan), called the phone number and even visited some year ago in the needed to buy some seedlings for research. Unfortunately I never go any response! So bad!

Jagaban has taken note of your concerns. You will see improvement in the next few days. I will also urge you to notify the Federal Competition & Consumer Protection Commission

Agbadi

Just come my village u will buy at cheaper rates and u will have truck loads if you are serious.

There are racketeering rings in various agricultural research institutes across Nigeria.

If i become the president of Nigeria i will make it a thing for everyone that have a piece of land to plant something on it

Nigerians do not like the nation Nigeria. They don't feel that they are part of a group or one nation.
They feel that the government is wicked and does not meet the diverse needs of the people.
There's so many cultures and tribes here in Nigeria and the government has not been able to coordinate the tribes with each other. So these tribes see themselves as enemies and the government as a wicked principal forcing them together.
Hence people just do everything to destroy every government facility.

The next agric minister must be a committed agric expert that has passion to develop agriculture in nigeria.

Jonathan achieved some success when he was president because agric minister was very good hand.

You wan buy Agricultural products as a Nigerian living within the country and you dey go websites owned and run by their government parent bodies for the purchase?

You never ready to buy anything!

It is rather unfortunate because a well fed society is the beginning of an advanced country. Our leaders should look at all the advanced countries of the world and agriculture is usually heavily subsidized instead of being stunted as is the case in most of Africa.

Lmao. I don't know about NIFOR but you see CRIN, make person no talk.. .

Talking from personal experience.

I am a diehard farmer but I also know that not everyone likes farming at all.

"If i become the president of Nigeria"

Tinubu said that many times like others.
Now he is the president, he should do right things.
So many things to correct.

There are two way of doing things in this side of the world. Nigeria way pro and the Nigeria promiw way.
