Aigbofa:

If they can do what you've just said and ensure a certain percentage of what is produced is either sold or processed in Nigeria, that is fine with me.
But, no matter how much money they are willing to invest, I don't think arable lands in Nigeria should be cultivated to feed Koreans or anybody when too many of our own people are still hungry.

I see your point and I agree with you.

Whao! Interesting read. Every one should read it.

[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.

So many imbeciles on this thread, coming in and out of the thread taking about conspiracy theories and pessimism, you twits have got me laughing in korean again  

Africans shine your eyes. These Koreans are trying to scam us like they did in Madagascar?

This is a LAND GRAB and they are trying to take advantage of poor Ekiti people. Even though I am an Igbo, I am siding with my African brothers on this issue.

some people will sell their birthright for a plate of soup. myopic esau-esque mahfukaz

EzeUche!:

Katsumoto and I are on the same side? This is amazing!

I can only remember one other time when we speaking with the same voice.

LOL

You are one funny kid.

We must proceed with caution.These kind of nebulous deals are going on all over Africa.Please read www.oakland institute.org

Katsumoto:

LOL

You are one funny kid.  

I would like to thank Shango, Oludamare, Alusi, Chineke etc for this momentous occasion. The stars must have aligned.  

Maybe there can be unity. We just need an outside force. Nothing unites a country more than an external enemy.

It is projected that the world will not be able to feed its population in another twenty years. Arable and fertile farmland will be more important than resource deposits. Europeans and Asians are forward thinking by grabbing the next most important resource after water, land.

There is no reason why africans cant invest in technology to feed its population and sell to these asians instead of them valuing african land at $2 per hectare. Believe me, there is a lot of money to be made from agriculture in the coming years.

$2 per hectare? Maybe I should join this land grab.
