Farmer, the king of all.
If farmer no plant, wetin human being go chop?

all4naija:
Your ignorance and primitiveness is nauseating!

sam90s:


Do your research, the whole business of genetically modified food is dodgy.
Food shortage as it is today is as a result of both poor distribution and storage, more than half of the food grown go to waste,
The engineered seeds affect the soil and normal seeds will find it hard to survive, therefore creating dependency on the 'manufacturers' of these seeds.
You called someone ignorant and primitive, but you fail to ask basic questions, what happens when low income Africans start to develop the kind of diseases not to mention strange allergies common in the West, they are very costly to treat you know that. At the moment, our major worries are feeding to stay alive, even security is secondary, what happens when more than half of children born are developing all sort of food allergies, who's going to pay for that, of course not this reckless government of ours. African women, generally, are more than 4times fertile than their western european counterparts, don't think it a due to superior gene, you are what you eat.

But it's being reported he is using HYBRIDS not GMOs.
Let me find a simple way to explain the difference between both

Hybrids can be kind of likened to having a white male mate with black female to produce a mixed race baby - inter-breeding/crossbreeding

GMOs on the other hand could be likened to having a white male mate with a black horse/dog..... To produce God knows what.

Two different things, until you can prove these seeds are GMOs please quit with the propaganda. I will not support GMOs too, but would not get on a blind campaign against something that can potentially benefit Nigerians.

all4naija:

Stop being petulant. You refuse to accept the fact that it is not about huge part of the food grown going to waste but about sustainability. With the level at which humans are depleting the resources with earth teeming population in few hundred years wel might run out of the most important ones. It is clear you are looking for an avenue to make population growth as not a great problem. You aren't seeing the picture here.

This is a PR stunt to make people who aspire to be like Dangote to embrace the farming of GMOS, which is detrimental to the health of Nigerians/

I REPEAT GMOS ARE NOT SAFE

ayo84:



There are numerous natural agricultural practices that we learnt even in school.. they are sustainable.. think outside the box ...

there is a hidden agenda .

I have never been a fan of Hybrid let alone GMO food, Organic all the way. If you use the U.S. as a case study, the level of sickness, and the types of diseases seen in this country could ONLY be found here and no where else. There are reasons why some countries banned this products. We should say NO to these types of development.

they are deceiving you ....
... Monsanto is a leader in both conventional hybrid maize as well as hybrid genetically-modified maize.

what do you get.. when you cross breed gmo maize with local natural maize, you get a hybrid...

I hope the so called "Hybrid Seeds" are not GM Seeds!

If you think there's nothing wrong with GMO, take your time and watch this documentary to the end:

excuse me sir, are you talking to me? or Dangote?

all4naija:

Liar! There are more diseases in Africa than anywhere else on the planet. Please, take good care of Ebola first before talking about disease in the USA. Jerk!

manny4life:


Geez, you sound bitter... Relax jare, HBP is REAL.

all4naija:

I know you are trying to use obesity to define disease here. Even there are more obese people in the Middle East than in the USA presently. For your information, South Africa is among first 10 obese nations on the planet. When you tell Zulus and Xhosas to control their eating habit they would tell they are affluent and can afford rich food. Rich food in South Africa is sugary food, my bottom!
