Your evil wish won't materialize, other people are progressing, but this sad joker is wishing evil and negativity.

Your village governors haven't started or commissioned anything meaningful since independence even though they collect allocations and taxes on your behalf, but instead of worrying about your village with zero development, you are wishing evil..


No wonder why you people are always at the bottom of everything in Nigeria.

Nice move, Sanwo-Olu.

I don't know ooo, but my mind keep telling me that this Sanwo-Olu won't be a great governor at the end of his tenure. All these are initial gra gra. This is not me speaking but my mind speaking


Eko ni baje!

asamwababy:


Are you happy with the state of Lagos.

This is the same path Ambode towed which led to the mess at hand.

Lagos is a state on Auto pilot due to its commercial activities which requires basically supervision and not a developing state.

You cant be publishing in the media road repairs, traffic decongestion and other mundane stuffs as achievement.These are our basic rights as citizens and tax payers.

We as a country cant grow this way if in 2019 we are still celebrating fixing of potholes.

Meet The 35 Year-Old Entrepreneur Who Owns Nigeria's 2nd Largest Rice Farm


I maintained 45,000 hectares for myself and today we have started producing, with our quality paddy being sold to major milling companies in Nigeria

Another white elephant project even as an APC lover this I know is just another avenue to divert funds for baba alaye tinubu.nigerian soil is not good for rice that is why most of our rice is imported from Asia.african rice like the popular ofada rice doesn't have high yield and is most burst open and wasted when ripen before harvest which why it is expensive.They tried to crossbreed our Asian rice with African rice it turned out to be a disaster as the new strain of rice had more characteristics of the local African rice low yield and wastage before harvest.That is why the so called buhari low cost rice is nowhere to be found today.So is sanwo planning to import the high yield Asian rice to process them in Nigeria or the poorly yielding African rice that the little harvest it yields can be processed easily manually or on a smaller scale.its simple it's another white elephant project to sway gullible Nigerians spending billions on projects not feasible economically

Abegi, I am too tired to educate folks this morning....

But please feel free to look up FARO 66 and FARO 67 Nigerian rice varieties (even NERICA)...
FARO 66 alone can yield up to 80 times more than its “parent” variety FARO 52, and both are “flood-tolerant”.

Ambode deserves a ministerial slot.

And lest we forget...
Nigeria is Africa’s leading rice producer (having overtaken Egypt).

Buckubuck:

Why? Because he built a rice mill with govt money which he left uncompleted?
How's that novel?

goldust777:
Government propaganda why didn't the government tell you we produced more rice than Thailand or China lolzz.egypt is a country located in the sahara desert for your geographic information.its like comparing cassava production in Nigeria to Sao tome and principe

Excaperx:
What are igbos governors doing? Planting flowers

goldust777:

Go and find out what happened to nerica and how it failed.crossbreeding local strain with the Asian strain a complete disaster that was the cheap buhari rice that has disappeared because of lack of long-term sustainability and loss.no farmer wants to plant his crops at a loss

9jaRealist:


And why don’t you tell me you are taller than Shaquille O’Neal?
You can be tall without being the tallest person alive, so until China and Thailand relocate to Africa Nigeria is the largest producer. FACT!

BTW, if Egypt is located in the Sahara desert...
What about all of the other many African countries in the rain belt? SMH

israelmao:

He did much more than that

Drabeey:
I remember when Ex-governor Ambode kept having series of agreements with the Kebbi state government. He had this vision, not only his vision, he started the project... And now another governor is at the verge of making the vision a reality(even as 'unpally' as they are).

That is governing! Love or hate Lagos state, she is our pride.

btw, what is wrong with this one?

I purposely put NERICA in brackets because I suspected you will jump on it - and unfortunately for you, you did...

There were NO genetic issues with NERICA (as you erroneously inferred in your first post). Most farmers soured on it for financial and other reasons, but there are still folks out there cultivating it until today, as it has more protein, is more pest resistant and higher-yielding.

Ahem...sorry to disappoint you...
But it’s still very much ALIVE and kicking!

For starters, you seem to MISUNDERSTAND what the “Eko Gas” project is. It is NOT a Lagos State government company or a direct investment project by the LASG. Rather, it is a POLICY project - to increase the usage of LPG as domestic fuel (instead of wood, kerosene, etc.) by Lagos residents. Accordingly, pursuant to the initiative the LASG partnered with PRIVATE companies like Oando, NIPCO, NAPGAS, Banner Gas, Chimons Gas, etc. In fact, the launching of the project by Fashola was done at an Oando (“O-Gas”) re-filing facility. The increasing use of LPG cooking gas by Lagosians suffered a slight set-back in about 2017 when there was an LPG Skid Plant explosion that led to the closing down of all such plants located in residential areas, but that temporary setback has been overcome and the ‘Eko Gas’ project is still very much alive. Eko Oni Baje!

Buckubuck:

All I see is uncompleted projects

When you get to the level of the US, UK and Canada, then your governors will not need to show you what they are doing with your tax monies to convince you to pay taxes (in a country where only civil servants and those under PAYE bother to do their own “jobs” of paying taxes).

Meanwhile, you have the world’s biggest self-promoter in the White House, with a Zombie-like “base” of deplorables (yes, I said it)...
Not to mention Rep. Greg Gianforte who body-slammed a reporter, and not only got praised by the Dotard President but was re-elected. SMH

Read and learn education is a continuous learning process going to school and coming to argue without facts only shows ignorance if Nigeria was the largest producer is Nigeria exporting rice.research don't talk because you heard it somewhere that is why Nigeria is still under developed today.many people like you use the internet for Facebook,nairaland and believe many fake news you read why don't you visit FAO.org an organization under the wing of the united Nations for global food production and get information there instead of following propaganda fake news upandan and arguing for argument's sake

KenModi:


Which people; which village?? Do you even know where I am from in Nigeria or if I am even Nigerian at this very minute of writing?? Hope you know people from other countries do visit Nairaland as well??

Oga my leg no go step that country in the next decade or maybe even more. Quite comfortable where I am. Thank you. Na just say motherland na motherland. You just can’t stop caring especially if you still have friends and extended family there.

That aside, na una wey dey inside Naija; inside d suffering wey no even get brain to see say APC na PDP and PDP na APC.

You guys who keep singing the praises of sycophants who see you as nothing but a means to enrich themselves and their families.

The governor you are praising are his children in Nigeria; no of course not why would they be, when their father who is a governor can easily send them to the best places in the world where they would be very very safe from all the hardship and suffering which you who is singing his praises here would face in your daily life.

My brother, you get brain, e go make sense if you use am.

KenModi:


Excuse me, I don’t live in the U.S. I live in a much better country where the politicians and the citizens do actually know what they are doing. Thank you.

And may I ask, how can you get to the level of the aforementioned countries, the U.S, U.K, Canada, e.t.c if rather than hold your public officers accountable, you sing their praises both on and offline for every little, tiny thing they do pertaining their offices which most time ought to be their responsibility??

Stop encouraging stupidity!

9jaRealist:


I will leave the gutter of personal insults to you...
It shows someone who has nothing of substance to say or was merely poorly raised - or both!

What exactly has being the largest rice producer in Africa has to do with self-sufficiency? Nigeria still imports rice because demand still outstrips local production. That’s not rocket science and one would expect that even a partisan shrill to,grasp such an elementary concept. By way of basic analogy, for a minute Nigeria was the region’s largest producer of cement but was still importing cement until continued investment in production (by Dangote, BUA, LaFarge, UNICEM, etc.) eventually caught up with and surpassed domestic demand. Even with maize, Nigeria is Africa’s largest producer (with South Africa a DISTANT second), but still imports maize. So, please understand the discourse.
