This is a welcome development. We really need to supplement the oil revenue with the way crude oil prices have been falling.

THERE IS NO MATCH.

I read online the question a lady asked. The question is how can Buhari
who earns over 300million Naira yearly claim that he can not afford to
pay 27million Naira for
the APC presidential form. I became interested and decided to
investigate.

I went to the ministry of Finance where I discovered that it is true
that all former Presidents and Head of states actually get 23million
Naira monthly.

But I found out that General Buhari actually wrote the minister of
Finance to reject the N23million monthly pay. He said in his letter that
he will only accept 10 percent or that amount which is N2.3million and
that is what he has been taking. This is just to clear the air. What a
Nigerian! what class of integrity!
God please make us men and women of integrity. Amin.

Buharis Bank statement or I dont believe it..

It Would have been nice if he had stated the amount generated last year before giving the projections for next year. That's how its done in saner climes instead on bandying figures about

ducii:
Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, said on Monday that Nigeria’s export of cocoa is estimated to generate $1.3 billion (about N202.5 billion) as revenue for the country this year.

Adesina who stated this in Abuja at the Nigerian Cocoa Summit 2014, said cocoa generated $1.2 billion in 2013 while the same commodity generated $900million in 2012.

He noted that the production output of cocoa has grown from 250,000 metric tonnes to 370,000 metric tonnes in the last three years of the implementation of Cocoa Value Chain.

He assured that the production of cocoa would be scaled up to 600,000 metric tonnes by 2016.

1.2 Billion in 2013..

a miserly 400 Million Naira growth in 3 years?!

Facking Nonsense.. So 2012 - 2013 recorded 300 Million Dollar growth, 2013 - 2014 just 100 million.. Shows somebody is sleeping on the job.

Now its the turn of cocoa, before it was oil after they impoverished Nigerians and enriched themselves, now its going dry, no more customers. its the turn of cocoa, beverage prices will start to skyrocket, Nigerians think their leaders want the best for them, they start to applause them not knowing the innovation is only to keep them wealthy,a tin of milo or bournvita will go for N6,500 soon, Eruku Oshodi(cocoa powder) will sell for N3,000, Nigerians will start protesting the removal of subsidy on cocoa. Cocoa is not like oil that flows everyday, it takes cocoa tree 3- 5 years to yield a crop. The oil that has been existing before now, what has been the benefit to Nigerians all along, now its cocoa.. of what benefit please? Tears run dry!

That is nice.....BUT...

Country Amount produced Percentage of world production
Côte d'Ivoire 1.23 million tons 34.7%
Ghana 746 thousand tons 20.6%
Indonesia 489 thousand tons 13.8%
Cameroon 220 thousand tons 5.9%
Nigeria 210 thousand tons 5.9%
Brazil 165 thousand tons 4.7%
Ecuador 130 thousand tons 3.7%

Everything Happens Tomorrow!.

In January, after selling our electricity assets, the DISCOS were given June ultimatum to ensure steady power supply. In November, there is virtually no light in the entire country several days running!

BH will be destroyed by October 2014! Towards the end of October, BH abducts 60 women in Adamawa!

Too many examples!

Honourable Minister, sorry not so many people believe you!

anonimi:


Your source, which showed 2008-2009 figures somehow confirms the Minister's starting figures in 2011 =>



For those who are waiting to see the the money and share inside, you should realise that farmers who tap into the programme and cocoa merchants who buy from them and sell onward will be the greatest beneficiaries with only a fraction going to government in the form of taxes and duties.

Until Nigeria follows Germany, Japan , South Korea, China, even Indonesia....and industrializes....we are not going to enjoy riches in this country.

Oil is a curse.

bushdoc9919:


I'm not disputing the Minister....I just want us to get back to where we used to be....the no 1 or no 2 producer of cocoa.
