morpheus24: Very good point, I remember reading an article in the VOA site, heres a quote from it:-- [size=18pt]"[/size]Part of the reason why Lekki Free Zone is so attractive to the Chinese is that, the Chinese government is encouraging those companies which are shutting down in China to move out,” he added. “There are funds which the government has provided for these companies to encourage them to move out to come and set up their factories in other parts of the world. We have that market. Now the Nigeria government is also encouraging investors to go to China and probably buy those factories, which are shut down, maybe at a quarter of the price and bring them into Lekki, set it up and manufacture those goods which you know you have 100 percent market right here.[size=18pt]"[/size] |

ekt_bear: Yes increasing productivity is a great motive, but can you give an example of where this has been done successfully, before in Africa? ekt_bear: I totally agree, which is why I said that there needs to be an encouragement drive at the federal and state level to encourage Nigerians to take full responsibility; If its so profitable why not? ekt_bear: |

jensinmi: I see what you mean but this is the 21st century, if all Nigerians need is BASIC, SIMPLE farming then why do they need to call in the South Koreans? For example how can farmers PLAN what they plant? you will need a good information system and computer models to do so. What about equipment? Who will design and manufacture it? Do Nigerians invent for their own AFRICAN environment or continue to import from foreigners? What about research into the farming environment? What about creating value-added products for export? For example look at the west they take cocoa form Africa for peanuts then sell it for a fortune in the form of Ice-cream, soft-drinks and chocolate - they make billions! The Japanese make millions by exporting yogurts! So I think its better to move away from the BASIC approach with a cutlass and HOE - its so yesterday The emphasis instead should be on modern farming and the production of value-added products. |

aribisala0: In the context which you used the word 'simple' it implied primitive - SIMPLE aribisala0: You are going round in circles to prove that you did not mean primitive - funny |

Foreign Affairs / Re: African Union Body For An African Imf Director by 2muchlogic(m): 7:52pm On Jun 11, 2011 |
It looks like the next IMF leader will be Christine Lagarde, several African leaders declared their support for the French finance minister, and a potential rival declined to challenge her. |

Katsumoto: Thats correct, The middle classes in the emerging economies are pushing the price of food through the roof. Africa has the natural advantage yet again, but unfortunately they lack the bio-technology, because their governments and private sector have NOT invest in it. For example, England has about 3 months of Sun thats it! Yet the power sector is investing in solar energy! How, the government is forcing the energy companies to invest; yet in Nigeria they not only cannot generate electricity, the government is not even serious about solar energy - WHY? Next the west will be supplying Ekiti with solar energy! Why can't the government encourage NIGERIANs to invest in MODERN farming? I have had my eye on this for a few years now and its obvious the bio-tech industry is going to be huge in the future. |

[size=18pt]Hedge funds 'grabbing land' in Africa[/size] Hedge funds are behind "land grabs" in Africa to boost their profits in the food and biofuel sectors, a US think-tank says. In a report, the Oakland Institute said hedge funds and other foreign firms had acquired large swathes of African land, often without proper contracts. It said the acquisitions had displaced millions of small farmers. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-13688683 |

jmaine: A debate is a formal argument, so don't waste time trying to make a demarcation. jmaine: Don't by a s.illy billy, You broke the rules by ignoring my questions and asking irrelevant ones. If you read my replies instead of your own, you would realize that I believe glo is a good company, well run and we should all be proud of it. I see it advertised on CNN regularly and they always promote Nigerian life and artists. But to operate in a Ivory coast (a war-zone), Ghana (dominated by Vodafone) and Republic of Benin (lol!) is laughable. [size=18pt]You simply lack the depth to respond constructively to simple questions – what a simpleton (laughing in Korean).[/size] |

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Exactly! This discussion has gone on for too long! if people could give straight answers then we could all learn a little. the issue is beyond Ekiti, its about Nigeria and Africa in general. Some, gullible ones on this thread keep waffling on about the Koreans will hand the project back to Ekiti after 3 years, hand what back? worn out machinery or their Korean brains? I wonder where Ekiti will have to get the spare parts from? let me guess But if we question anything, we are pessimistic. If africans cannot grow their own food and use their education in biotechnology to become more proficient then Africa's problems are deeper than the Atlantic ocean!!! |

Now large areas of land are USELESS. jmaine: Typical, 'let foreigners do it for us' - whats all of the education in Nigeria for? Where are the companies? jmaine: How often dose that happen in Nigeria? Do you think it will start in Ekiti lol! |
Politics / Re: The One Move That Will Save Nigeria by 2muchlogic(m): 2:34pm On Jun 11, 2011 |
Ikengawo: Quality control is primarily a MICRO-Economic issue, Nigeria needs serious MACRO-Economic reforms which can be created and monitored by WORLD CLASS national institutions. What will make them world class? Independence (Free from politics) Professionalism Transparency For example if the EFCC had the 3 qualities listed above Nigeria would be one of the least corrupt countries in the world. Empirical evidence shows that It takes around 10 years to establish a national institution, which means the EFCC could have been world class by now and a model for other African nations. How can we build strong institutions? By successive focused, visionary governments; unfortunately at present Nigeria has no political continuity. Most of the power is concentrated at the centre and each president raises the hopes of the masses with fake promises. the result is little or nothing to show after each term and more precious years down the tube. |

EzeUche!: Exactly! They should go and read up on CAP, the Europeans produce so much food they have to burn it! Since WW2 they have made food security a top priority. North Koreans are starving and they think South Koreans can boost their Agriculture? If it was electronics or microchips maybe but Agriculture? What comparative advantage do Africans have apart form mineral resources and land? |
Business / Re: Korean Investors To Lift Agric In Ekiti With U.s.$400 Million by 2muchlogic(m): 12:07pm On Jun 11, 2011 |
This is great for Ekiti, Koreans have a long history of doing great things for Africans. The proposal states: The proposed transformation of agriculture in the state is expected to generate not less than 25,000 jobs in the first year and help boost farm yield in the state. wow! 25,000 jobs at the minimum wage, and it will boost the crop yeild too with their technology; Why can't all the education from Ekiti over the years cannot achieve that? Then it goes on to say: Soo-Moon noted that the project is aimed at poverty eradication, food security and job provision adding that a minimum of 125,000 jobs would be provided under the scheme in four years. The Koreans are coming to reduce poverty for people in Ekiti, and create 100,000 jobs in 3 years? Wow, thats what you call an Asian miracle. I think the people in Ekiti should vote for Soo-Moon as the next govenor of the state. He added that the investors would hand over the project to the Ekiti State Government after three years of managing it, explaining further that the scheme is also expected to provide free construction materials as well as tools for rural farmers. It appears they love people in ekiti so much they want to employ, feed and teach them, whilst creating 125,000 jobs in 4 years – sounds too good to be true lol! |
