Only a bloody fool chases a rat while his/her house is on fire. Must people from southern Nigeria have slave mentality. I guess most of these so-called money bag nitwits from southern Nigeria owe their source of wealth to northerners in the Nigeria's corridor of power. 1 Like 1 Share |

If you look at the countries chosen (including northern Nigeria), you'll notice its the people from those regions that are constituting a nuisance in Nigeria as bandits/violent herdsmen. Its all political and tony(the south south sell out) who happens to be a thief, is the camouflage they are using. Rob peter to pay Paul. 1 Like 1 Share |

Dedetwo: This is a UNDP program... UNDP is merely partnering with the Tony Elumelu Foundation (TEF), as some other organizations and governments (national and sub national) have, working with the TEF through the very successful entrepreneurship and mentoring program already established under the TEF Entrepreneurship Program. However, it is an entirely UNDP initiative and entirely (100%) UNDP funds. Accordingly, in addition to other Partners of the TEF Program (see below), the Program will have as much as 3050 (instead of the usual 1000 TEF) participants this cycle. Other Partners of the TEF and the TEF Entrepreneurship Program include the Anambra State government, Botswana and Benin Republic (in addition to African Development Bank). These Partners use their own funds (just like the UNDP is doing) to sponsor the participation of their own candidates, nationals/citizens in the TEF Entrepreneurship Program. It’s a WIN-WIN, because these Partners do not have to create their own individual entrepreneurship training and mentoring program and associated infrastructure, and the TEF Program has more beneficiaries. > 2 Likes |

For those that are mentioning the sahel region, why is that of Cameroon not restricted to northern Cameron as it was done for Nigeria? Because Southern Cameroon lies on almost the same belt as Southern Nigeria, same with North. Does it mean that there are no poor Nigerians down south that will benefit from this entrepreneurial empowerment. Ever since this current president asked most of these international NGOs to focus on the north, these are the sort of things we are having, yet it has not yielded the desired result. But when it comes to RUGA or its brand new name, the Livestock Transformation Nonsense, it must be spread across the 36 states of the federation and a 30 day threat attached to it. The earlier we start talking and taking actions to halt the nepotism, bigotry and open tribalism of this current government, the better for this country. We have never had it this bad. 1 Like 1 Share |

ADAMUdaCOWBOY:u are obviously missing the point here. U guys have been grazing Ur cattle in the south for ages. No one has complained. But now Ur grazing is not only threatening the food supply and means of livelihood of the southerners, it is threatening their very lives. U now graze Ur catty, destroy farms, kidnap, rape, and kill all at once. Do u really expect to be welcomed with open arms? And who will buy Ur cattle when u wipe out the south?

lexy2014: Most southern states have less than 2 percent of severe malnutrition, in the north, it's above 10 percent. NGOs are apolitical, and they focus on regions in countries with worst indices. Not all NGOs are into VVF, not all are into malnutrition. They all have what they focus on. Even Bill Gate's foundation also focus on the north, DFID which is british, Clinton foundation, Unicef, WHO, all have more operation in the north because that is where intervention is needed. 3 Likes 1 Share |

1. The donor agencies were specifically given brief to focus on the destruction in the north https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/245992-buhari-asked-us-to-focus-on-northern-nigeria-world-bank-chief.html 2. Tony is just a smart guy deceiving Nigerians with this foundation. What's his commitment of the $100m (over 10 years) yet...ever wondered how much exactly of his funds he has put into it? He is just using the entreprenuers to market his idea while collecting funds from UN & co. |
