Who would provide the grass to feed the goats? Students?

Your head de there.. your are an Igbo girl I guess

1bkaye:
Lol funny though I can see the potential in this idea, SME owners will benefit from this a lot. Still, consider the risks, what happens if it dies before the debt has been paid off?

symbianDON:
the way Zimbabwe is 'okaying' payment of everything with goats...why not kuku make goats their official currency na?

AntiWailer:
Africa and her useless leaders.

Is it a curse ?

Rosskii:
Shut up. It is an innovative way of tackling money shortage. Before the white man came with paper currency, did your fathers not enjoy their lives without it? What is worse, for his kids to stay at home, or for the schools to accept barter payments?

I think it is a fantastic strategy that should be applied right here in Nigeria, because there are many children here hawking on the streets instead of studying, and schemes like this could help them get n education. Being truly independent means doing things as they suit your own societal conditions, not foreign conditions.

AntiWailer:


U need ur brain examined.

I won't waste any post on you.

Dongreat:
You guys are shocked, disappointed and laughing but what I see is a president trying to make life better for his citizens. Instead of asking for funds that is scarce to the average population, why not ask for their agricultural that is mostly owned by many of them.
Believe me but many poor Nigerian parents will choice this option over money and that's fact. Even the rich will choice this option as all you need is your animal to mate, nature gives you the child, grass and water (rain), thus nature give you a commodity to trade for something.

Ranking of African Countries By Literacy Rate: Zimbabwe No. 1

Posted by Editor / July 6, 2013

Below is the ranking of African countries by the literacy rate. This entry includes a definition of literacy and Census Bureau percentages for the total population, males, and females. There are no universal definitions and standards of literacy. Unless otherwise specified, all rates are based on the most common definition – the ability to read and write at a specified age (15 and above). Detailing the standards that individual countries use to assess the ability to read and write is beyond the scope of this article.

Mugabe's stone-age economic policies have officially turned Zimbabwe into a barter economy in the 21st century. Africa and the scourge of poor leadership.
