Farmpride:
A year ago a reporter traced a community where strawberry is grown in commercial quantity. Some readers were surprised to know that the fruit grows here in Nigeria,as was I.
One year after, the reporter returned to the community to see what changes have occurred, what new technology has been brought into the farming of the crop; and whether the product’s marketing challenges have been solved.
Apparently the strawberry farming, which until recently, is not a common practice here in Nigeria, is now the most important produce that shapes the economy of the people of Chaha, where almost every adult has a strawberry farm. Chaha seems to have huge potentials for strawberry, coffee and other fruit trees, as a visit to the community convinces one.
With the cold weather that characterizes the highland of Plateau State, the ground favors the production of strawberry, which has now been domesticated in the village since 2001.
The fruit has the potentials to breed new generations of millionaires in Chaha if access to market is broadened, because the farmers are between the ages of 20 to 35.

However finding buyers is an issue, most harvest about 600kg weekly, but end up selling 400kg because they have to give ‘Jara’(an extra on the quantity bought) to the women buying.
“We don’t just know where else to sell this product ,but we are told that the demand is high in some places in Nigeria. Most of our farmers here have not traveled outside Plateau State,” a farmer noted.
Sadly most of the big malls in the country are import the product, while these farmers don’t have where to sell theirs.
Strawberry has enormous health benefits to humans. It has been used in a medicinal context to help people with digestive ailments, teeth whitening and skin irritations.
Experts said strawberry provides good source of vitamins C and K as well as providing a good dose of fiber, folic acid, manganese and potassium, strawberries provide high amounts of vitamin C.

Pls don't even mention atiku in dis matter. I clearly understand ur concern and yes I agree with u that's it's abit too slow(the change process) also not effectively carried out or timed bt no one is a perfection in situations like this where a lot of factors come into play at same time and have greater after effects than one may have envisaged or expected. It now takes re studying the situations and finding the best solutions to them. Buhari has the credibility bt need the rite minds and hands to execute them. Cheers

jaxxy:
I call that wishful thinking. It's not as easy as u think dear. A whole lot goes into this beyond d president. And then there short fixes and permanent fixes to the d economy.... Which do u prefer??

TheSociopath:
A and B have a JV and they jointly earn ₦200 monthly. X, Y and Z have a JV as well and jointly earn 250 monthly. XYZ has the larger economy but A and B are enjoying more because they have a better per capita income. Stop being delusional, our economy being the largest in Africa is meaningless when the per capita income is low and 70% of our citizens are impoverished.

After squandering the multi billion dollars arms deal fund, why won't GEJ retire to fate and let go of power without violence.

boolet:
Damn it, he was ousted at the polls. Morning.

santafe:
Please, stop insulting the collective intelligence of over 160million Nigerians. GEJ is not a leadership material. he wasnt suited to be a governor self. I am very sure GEJ himself would agree with me. Over 95% of Nigerians governor's, senators dont know a thing about leadership. you see, they get away with it because there are lots of dumbo in Nigerians like you. No offense.
GEJ shouldn't have gone beyond a local government chairman in Otuoke. Nigeria as a Country deserves a better leader than GEJ or Buhari.

Onyochejohn:
what do u mean by sefless leader who gaveup power so willingly? Did u have sence at all? Didn't he contested election and lost! Guy ur brain needed factory reset SLAP!!!

Please go to school and learn proper English first before criticising a refined man. Thank me later.

"GEJ made Nigeria the country with the best economy in Africa"

when i read comments like this, i wonder where the senses originating it are located in the commenter's body??!

Even GEJ will scoff at this ridiculous comment! Stop these nonsensical sentiments my dear young woman!!

pressplay411:
May you not die of ignorance!
The only reason GEJ gave up power was cos he knew how much ruin and wreckage they (PDP) had brought upon us. He didn't want to be the one to face this economy Buhari is contending with.
Granted GEJ wasn't a tyrant neither was he evil, I believe he was a figurehead and a puppet being controlled by the Cabal, yet he's to blame for the state of the nation.

We are privileged to have a President in the person of PMB. But for the fear of blasphemy I would have called him our present day Messiah, I just pray God supports him and grant his the power/wisdom to continue to lead us right.
I'm glad Fashola final explained (in detail) his trips to all these countries all in the best interest of this country.
All we need in the face of this hardship is a little more patience and some good luck (the irony.lol) we will dance again soon and celebrate our country and president.

eitsei:
that's what wailers will care to know before they decide to face their own problems. Besides is Aregbesola the only governor in Nigeria? Why the fuss about him all the time?

drkay:
Don't mind him. GEJ is not too daft to know what he can do to rig himself back to aso rock in 2015 but he willingly gave us the opportunity to choose our leaders at all levels by ourselves. If he chose to do otherwise, nothing would have happened.

kaeforum:
He was a clueless coward

Activa:
What are the features of a 'best economy'?

No Nigerian leader has so far achieved that.

gretblue:
Best Economy ! Are you high on Igbo Ukwu weed?.

We are not fool's, Is Oil boom, now is over.

Mrbigman1:
First things first, am from Anambra, Aguata to be precise.
I have observed this among Onithsa residents from when I was schooling in Awka to going to village during festive periods to NL.

Ndi Onithsa especially the ladies shy away from saying they reside at Onithsa for reason they re yet to come out with.
Igbo lagosian and others outside the Niger contributed immensely to this complex problems and they allowed it to root deep in them.
I stayed with my brother and my sisters at Onithsa during holidays and weekends and the only thing Onithsa lacked back den 2008-2012 was security, Night life hence no standard social life.
They call people from there Omota and it's so unfair.
Here is d catch ndi OTU and igbos or Anambarians in general.
I have gone to virtually all southern state and some part of the north west and central.

But in term of good road, Onithsa stands out.
In term of housing, Onithsa is the best to me. How can you be renting a fvcking standard 3 bedroom flat with all room of masters bedrooms size for just in a range of 100 to 200k for new houses oh @awada and omogba.
In renting this houses, you go to an estate management office and pay as low as 2-5k and varieties are shown to you to choose from that is if you don't have anyone to show you a house and give you landlord's contact. Please travel and see biko.

I work and stay in warri, but you can imagine that i get my basic foodstuffs from the east. During every festive seasons, when I travel, I pack as much as I could and preserve almost free of charge, that's so awesome Gadamnit!!!

I barely find cocoayam, utazi, bitter leave ETCs over here, a painter of equsi sells as high as 5k over here in warri but my sister buy it as low as 2k for me over there.
I dnt buy my clothes anywhere if not at main market not until the delta city mall came to life.
Reason is, I see people buying fake jeans here for as high as 3k and same Jean which is as cheap as 800 in Onithsa. When I get my Jeans at 1 thousand 8 hundred and tell friends, they say I am trying to be modest.

Alots of other benefits like lack of street life outside the motor packs, no community disturbance and awesome organisation level, very standard private schools for kids at a very very cheap price. A very standard school my sister's kids go to, this school won awards from government for its lavel of standardisation and I can see it telling on the kids; pay as low as 18k for primary school students. I can only imagine.
Honestly, if I get a lower paying job, I wouldn't think it twice than move back to the east.

Have you ever seen a nairalander with location Onithsa? They rather not put up anything because they dnt know what they have till they loose it.

realestworld:
Madam you shouldn't be covering up these politician if you have any slight opportunity.
People like you are the reason they take us for granted.
You deserve better than this because you know they don't care about you. USE YOUR BRAIN DEAR!

Fedayeen:
Let's focus on Abia state and not shift the goal post biko.


Ikpeazu should tell us what he did with billions of naira he collected as loan. I hate all these sleaze and wastage by govt.


I want a better Abia state like Anambra

joborskill:
Contine to rest in Peace sir. The best president Nigeria never had. IBB denied us the chance for real transformation under Abiola. Unlike the fake transformation advertised by the accidental president GEJ the ineffectual Bufoon

Good Morning! How was your Night?

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
When situation gets out of hand; miracle becomes the only option. Each time the Lord steps into a matter; just like a dream He turns the situation around!!!

************************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"WHEN the LORD brought back the captivity of Zion, We were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them."" (Psalms 126:1-2 NKJV).
______________________________
The perfect will of God for everyone who gave his life to Christ is to be living a life that is characterized by miracles. The Lord works and walks mysteriously. He takes pleasure in proving Himself as the Almighty in life of men.

Despite the fact that He gave us strength in every area of life so as to play our own part in what He wants to do in our lives, He does not want us to glory in our strength.

We are expected to trust our entire life to Him and pray about everything concerning our lives and destinies. The Lord wants to be involved in every minute detail of our lives. This is because, we will not but always come to various point in life where our strength, intellect, wisdom, experience and every resource at our disposal will not do. At that point, miracle becomes the only option.

The Lord showed his mighty act when he took the Israelites through the red sea, fed them with manna and caused their cloths and shoes not to wear out for about forty days. His act teaches them that man does not live by bread alone. When life situation brings you to the end of yourself; the only solution is to go back to God. Irrespective of the situation in your life you need a miracle. When it happens it will be like a dream.

Just like a dream; the Lord will turn your situation around in Jesus name. Amen!!!
Have a Miraculous Tuesday!!!
