But the fool wasn't even educated.I said "hooligan" .All he does is play babyseju,konami,eleshin,dice and Alaja.I wanted to help him and some other hooligans out of their misery

This is another major problem... EDUCATION
Our children are no longer going to school. Those who attend, stop at the secondary school level especially when they fail jamb/p.jamb in 2/3 attempts, the next thing they impregnate(boys)/ get pregnant (girls). When you mention the word "tout" - You know what comes to mind..

Only 2 types of parents push their children to school::
1. Those who are learned and it is like an abomination for their children not to go to school and even exceed the height they've attained.
2. Those who are not learned and are full of regrets, they work very hard to ensure their children surpass that height they wish they attained..

Yes, our education system is not encouraging at all, a lot of children don't even know why they are in school..

This is why i said all South-west governors should have something in place for youths who fall into this category.They can learn vocations if they don't succeed in education.After they're done with it,they should be funded to start their own businesses.Aregbesola did something like that in Osun state.O-REAP and O-YES.bbeautiful ideas i must say but i don't know how far with it

If na you fail jamb 3 times, you no go fool around?

Personally I think more emphasis should be placed on how the private sector and individuals can drive the agriculture sector.I am realist in that I prefer solutions be proffered outside of the state especially where the state has shown itself to be incompetent as is the case in naija.Like Nigeria,Trinidad has placed a lot of her energy on oil and gas and we don't even feed ourselves.Our agriculture sector contributes very little to our gdp and we aren't self sufficient.

Yet our local university produces several agriculture graduates.One of their major issues is land to start up a farm and labour...plenty trinis simply do not want to farm lol.My thing is aren't there Yoruba agriculture graduates?Find out what are the barriers to them farming.Is it access to land? Lack of labour? Just how Indians and outsiders invest in Naija and other african countries .Can't diasporas pool up their resources to say yo I'll invest in a palm plantation,snailery,rabbitry etc.How are the Indians and others able to get labour?

I know a lady here in Trinidad who does skincare products using shea butter ,black soap etc...she works directly with farmers in Gambia.They supply raw material to her.She no be a rich person..she be a small business.My thing is though the government needs to straighten up but if more ppl choose to invest like outsiders do...it would help.Before solutions are proffered though...y'all should find out exactly what are the issues.

Barriers: Education & Pride that comes with education.

I think [and I may be wrong] that Awolow's free education promised a vision brighter than agbe [farming].

Some Yoruba parents be like "Did I send you to school to learn how to be a farmer?"

quimicababes:


I am speaking about the agriculture graduates.Are you saying they don't want to farm? Are you saying all just want to be in agriculture research offices and never in the field? I am speaking about the ones who want to farm...what are the barriers? My thing is focus on those who want to farm and children that shows an interest. How come outsiders are able to get African labour on their farms? What are they doing?
[b] Is it they are paying them a living wage or something? [/b]I ask because sadly agriculture also pay low wages for field workers.

The same fool who was complaining yesterday has created another silly thread.All his threads/comments are about Yorubas and he was playing victim.Omo ale.Do you have any idea why he included my name? that thing still dey vex me

IlekeHD:


*rubs his carefully rounded beer belly*

Oya, forget about that one. Let them keep crying victim.

He included you because you're [NNPC.com/gov/org] oga at the top.

Looool igba wo ni eleko so gbogbo won yen.He will have to come in the midnight to tell me where he got all these info from

IlekeHD:


I know what you meant.......still to them, agricultural graduate equates to farming. Although many do go for the degree, but in Nigeria's plain, there's scarcity of jobs available for it.

That's why I keep telling Yorubas to create agricultural startup businesses.


Unfortunately, Africans are attacted to foreign-owned companies, regardless of the wages.

Until that "oyel" dries up, I fear for this country.Our governors are just lazy.I was asking people here on who they think among this current crop of Yoruba leaders has the capabilities to replicate Awo's achievements and some people mentioned Tinubu.

I wonder why some Yoruba folks complain about romanis trying to force a relationship with the south-south because of oil.Who cares? Who says we can't do without oil

I'm thinking isn't it possible for South-west governors to decline the money coming from the federal level so they can concentrate on what we have?

Shymm3x:
To those clamouring for private sector driven agriculture: not everything is about private sector.

Agriculture is one of those sectors where the government has to be at the centre/nucleus. The government owns the land in a country and the government represents the people. And for agriculture to thrive it has to be government driven - unless you want to create another problem entirely. Even in all the countries in the West, where capitalism is at its peak - the government drives agriculture, hence they offer all kinds of subsidies and grants to farmers.

The only countries where agriculture is private sector driven are third world countries, hence those countries are as backward as they're. A classic example is Rwanda and all those African countries selling their lands to foreigners. You lot need to slow down on this craze about capitalism and injecting the private sector into everything. Not everything is about the private sector - there has to be a balance.

The worst part of it is when I hear our state/federal government shouting Come and Invest in this, invest in that..... It annoys me like mad.... 70% of the rice we eat is farmed,processed and packaged by Indians transported through Cotonou....Its actually neo-colonialism....
Nothing Is going to stop me from having a poultry farm because I've already falling in love with chickens..
Our youths of today are targeting the corporate world. Farming is tagged "local", most of our parents don't even want to hear about it....
The solution to our problems lies In our generation, We need a total reorientation of our mentality....

Shymm3x:


Isn't the meagre oil money the same reason why some of these lazy folks like "one-Nigeria"? How much do they even get from the oil? They all shared N300 billion last month. That's about £1 billion. How can you even develop and run a country of over 180 million heads with something as small as that? Bear in mind that 50% of the money will be looted, while 30% will go to recurrent expenditure - with only 20% left for the people. You can make over 10x in other sectors if these folks can leave the oil alone and diversify the economic.

London (not the UK) generates over 20x what the whole Nigeria shared last month, monthly from banking alone. And that's just a city. The South South folks need to take their oil and keep it to themselves - and let's see if these folks won't get busy.

I get ur point but what are you supposed to do if ur government is clueless? The least you can do is ensure that the private sector is the natives and not outsiders lol
