“It my earnest desire that we must live beyond oil and dust our fan to flame our agriculture which used to make us thick before the discovery of oil.

Chairman of the South East Governors Forum (SEGF) and governor of Ebonyi State, Chief David Umahi has appealed to Nigerians to go back to agriculture as an alternative revenue source to oil.

In his 2018 New Year message signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Emmanuel Uzor, Umahi said agriculture, hitherto Nigeria’s source of revenue, was abandoned for petroleum over the years, describing the neglect of the agriculture as the cause of the current economic crisis in the country.

He said part of his administration’s target for 2018 is to make agriculture the mainstay of economy in Ebonyi State, adding that with the world tilting towards electronic world, it would soon be impossible for anybody to buy oil.

The statement read: “As we graciously and thankfully enter into the New Year 2018, I want to thank God for His love in the past years, especially 2017 that just ended with various challenges that faced us as a people.

“It my earnest desire that we must live beyond oil and dust our fan to flame our agriculture which used to make us thick before the discovery of oil.

“As it stands now, a day commeth when there will be no revenue coming from petroleum sector and that is why we in Ebonyi State have started to go back to agriculture evident in our 2018 budget, which we tagged Budget of Divine Manifestation.
“We are giving more attention to the area of agriculture because it is the solution to our impending doom if we refuse to live beyond oil.”

Umahi who prophesied that 2018 could be another difficult year for Nigerians, said it is only with hard work and dedication to service that Nigerians would survive the New Year, urging citizens and Ebonyi indigenses in particular, to show more commitment to their duties.

The governor further called for prayers so that God would enthrone peace and unity among all ethnic nationalities in the country, calling on Nigerians to believe in their country and work hard in the New Year.

Seun:
There is nothing wrong with rice importation per se. What might be the real problem is that the cost of producing rice in Nigeria is so high that it is cheaper to buy rice from a different continent and ship it to Nigeria than to produce the rice and consume it right here. When the cost issue is resolved, importation of rice will drop. After all, we scarcely import efo, yams, cassava and other crops that can be produced cheaper here. Importation of rice is not the problem. It is just the symptom of a problem. It will disappear whenever the real problem is fully addressed.

Then when will this be tackled?

Sunexy:
Lol..so this is part of buhari's new year resolution for Nigeria...even the rice he eats in his house must be imported

Lol, Who told you so sir?

Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday announced that the country would stop importation of rice from 2018, to encourage the production of local rice.

The president, who said this in his address to the nation in Abuja to mark the beginning of 2018, said it is in view of this reality that in 2015 he appealed to people to go back to the land.

Buhari said Nigerians must get used to discipline and direction in economic management as the days of business as usual are numbered.

“I am highly gratified that agriculture has picked up, contributing to the government’s effort to re-structure the economy,” he said.
“Rice imports will stop this year. Local rice, fresher and more nutritious rice will be on our dishes from now on,” he said.
“By the same token, I am today appealing to enterprising Nigerians with ideas and unemployed graduates and other able-bodied and literate men and women with ideas, not to just sit and wait for employment from the government or the Organized Private Sector,” the Nigerian leader said.

According to him, great nations are built by enterprising people who turn their hands to anything that circumstances dictate, noting that the All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government was slowly stabilizing the economy.

The president told the country that the diversification efforts embarked upon by the government had resulted in improved output, particularly in agriculture and solid minerals sectors.

He also maintained that the relative exchange rate stability had improved manufacturing sector performance.

The Nigerian leader, however expressed sadness over the unnecessary hardships inflicted on Nigerians during the Christmas and New Year celebrations following acute petrol scarcity across the country.


The president attributed the hardships to the activities of a few but heartless individuals working within the nation’s oil and gas sector.

He reiterated the determination of his administration to get to the root of the persistent petrol scarcity, and ensure that whichever groups were behind this manipulated hardship would be prevented from doing so again.

President Buhari added that the activities of such unpatriotic individuals would not divert his administration’s determination to uplift the quality of life of the citizens.

Fuel scarcity during festive periods is a recurrent feature in Nigeria, although it disappeared in the last two years.

The scarcity is said to be caused by greedy marketers who tried to take undue advantage of the high inter-state movements during the season.

The number of people experiencing food insecurity in Africa rose from 220 million people to 224 million people this year. The Food and Agriculture Organisation’s regional overview for the year attributes this to changing weather patterns that led to poor harvests, a loss of livestock, conflict and recurrent droughts.

Food security occurs when all people, at all times, have access to enough food to meet their dietary needs. To declare countries “food secure” analysts look at a combination of availability, access and utilisation.

Mauritius, South Africa, Ghana, Namibia and Senegal are among the top 10 most food-secure countries on the continent. This is attributed to the use of new crops and agricultural production technologies.

But ultimately the ability to achieve food security depends on political will and the effectiveness of government and national strategies in the agricultural and food sector.

Though the 2017 rise in food insecurity is disheartening, some African countries have made progress over the last decade. And there were some initiatives from this year that deserve a special mention for the precedents they set.

Innovation and technology

Several countries recorded improved food production because of modern technologies provided by governments, aid agencies or entrepreneurs. These included:

the adoption of improved seed varieties,

modern equipment, and

fertilisers or better practices such conservation agriculture.

In Ethiopia, for instance, farmers increased wheat yields by 14% as a result of newer agricultural technologies.

In Rwanda, farmers reported increased productivity due to solar-powered irrigation technology.

In Nigeria, increased agricultural productivity was linked to the use of smart and affordable tractors by smallholder farmers.

And in Kenya, the practice of conservation agriculture has taken root, resulting in bigger yields.

Equally important are the growing number of innovations in financing. To improve productivity, and achieve food security, farmers must be able to invest in technology.

But, many African farmers live below the poverty line. They can rarely borrow from formal financial institutions as they don’t have collateral. Today, only 6% of total bank credit on the continent goes to agriculture.

Tanzania addressed this challenge by rolling out a toolkit that allows farmers to pre-pay for discounted agricultural inputs using mobile money. Farmers are also provided with customised plans that guide them on how to maximise crop yields.

New policies

This year several African countries strengthened and launched new agricultural policies. These play a key role in improving food security. For example, policies can lower the cost of agricultural input prices by introducing subsidies. Or they can allocate resources in a way that benefit farmers – like road construction for market access.

The Nigerian government deserves mention for some key initiatives it introduced this year.

For starters it launched the National Policy on Food and Nutrition which allocated 92 billion Naira (US $290 million) to the agricultural sector. Policies were also enacted that gave farmers access to agricultural inputs and provided them with modern equipment at subsidised prices. One example is a a fertiliser initiative that delivered over 4 million bags of fertiliser to farmers at affordable prices. This meant more farmers could buy fertiliser, giving them bigger yields.

In terms of areas of policy areas, 2017 turned out to be a good year for irrigation.

Only 7% of Africa is irrigated. In Nigeria’s case the potential irrigable area is 21 million hectares (about the size of Italy) – with only 200,000 hectares currently irrigated.

This year the Nigerian government completed irrigation projects covering over 33,000 hectares of land.

And things are set to improve even further following a World Bank announcement that it’s investing US $495 million in irrigation.

Welcome to 2018 Nigerians where a bit of sarcasm should keep us sane. This picture says it all about Nigeria.
https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=313168925855889&id=158338594672257

Why do 40 years old Nigerians keeps referring to themselves as youths? According to the dictionary, youth is when one is young; especially the period between childhood and maturity.

The UN, for statistical consistency across regions, defines 'youth', as those persons between the ages of 15 and 24 years. Even the Nigerian government tried to stretch it a bit to 35. They wrote "Youth in Nigeria includes all members of the Federal Republic of Nigeria aged 18–35"

Everybody drew the line at 35 years. I hate to bring the bad news, but If you are above 35 please realize you are no longer a youth. Therefore, you may have missed that revolution you always wanted to start to fight. The next stage is middle age. actually, that starts at 36 years of age. Please don't miss it. Those who said life begins at 40 don't know what they are talking about. Life starts breaking down at 40. This is the last chance.

AGRICULTURE THE NEW OIL IN 2018?
ProbityFarms, As at 2017, the price of a barrel of palm oil was $95 while the price of a barrel of crude oil was $55.83. It never used to be like this in the days of oil boom when crude oil sold for as high as $140. What this should tell you is that Nigeria’s dependence on oil as its biggest source of income is gradually coming to an end while agriculture and other sources of revenue are taking center stage.
As a nation, we can no longer show a nonchalant attitude to Agriculture. This is because an improved agricultural sector trickles down to every part of our economy, resulting to cheaper food, better employment rate and economy. Even beyond food production, we can all see the impact in terms of Increased industrialization through food processing, increased revenue for the government which means more good roads, water and social amenities and increased exports which lead to better foreign exchange and economic viability. Hence, it’s a no brainer that more economic development can come ONLY from investments in agriculture.
How do you tap into the wealth of agriculture?
The reality is that the revolution taking place in the agric sector will produce new millionaires and your goal should be to be part of them. this new year.
One of the side-effects of the industrial revolution was that young people embraced the formal sector and were no longer interested in farming, but this is changing as more young people are going back to the farm. From personal experience, most of the small-holder farmer who are using our solution, probityfarms.com, to improve their farm yield by up to 80% in 2017 are youth. Gone are the days when many young people do not want to be associated with farming, right now the the new faces of agriculture in Nigeria are young people.
So, if you are yet to make up your mind to join the agric bandwagon, this is a good time for you to consider making the move. You can tap into the wealth of agriculture by focusing on production (livestocks or farm) and other value chains like commodity trading, exports, food processing, logistics, advisory and extension services etc.
Whatever choice you make, join the agric revolution this year.
