That is a lie


Nigeria ranked 8th among the top 10 countries with the highest level of terrorism in the world. The Global Terrorism Index (GTI) 2023 assessed terrorism impact in 163 countries. With a score of 8.065, Nigeria has a terrorism impact that is “very high”

Statists states that
“Political instability, citizen alienation, terrorism and violence define the Nigerian crime scene. Nigeria has recently been included among the countries with the least peace in the world, according to the Global Peace Index. It is the 18th less peaceful state. In addition, Nigeria is the sixth country most affected by terrorism, based on the Global Terrorism Index. One further serious threat in Nigeria is the risk of mass killing, or genocide. Nigeria is the second country in Africa with the highest risk of genocide and the sixth worldwide. This risk is influenced by a population of over 200 million people, a high child mortality rate, ongoing battle-related deaths, the country's own history of mass killing, and its ethnic fractionalization”

Buhari government said that the PH Refinery will be ready last year and Oil subsidies was

kingi777:
Former President Buhari, a core northern champion in his eight years of governance couldn't rehabilitate KD refinery, so it's you, a Southern minister that would make it work? Has the PH refinery started working? December production deadline is at hand...Well, I think the strategy is just give them false hope. Just say something they want to hear. Never say the truth as it's an abomination.

Zikson:
which Universities in Scotland?

DSS1335:
They should be specific of what they meant by foreign-trained medical graduates.
I observed it is very easy to obtain an MBBS/BDS degree from other African institutes compared to European. I won't be surprised that the majority of those who failed this assessment were students who couldn't make it in Nigerian institutions but made it big in University of Sudan, Gambia, Mozambique, Cameroon, Lesotho, etc. Thumbs up to MBBS graduates of Uniport, UI, Unilag, UNN, etc, if they can succeed through the rigorous training here they can succeed anywhere in the world

Mele Kyari.... if not for quota system and useless politics, why should this man be in charge of NNPC?

Yes Buhari appointed him because of nepotism, why is Tinubu still keeping him?

Idris Isa Bawa, an architect, resisted giving up on livestock husbandry despite the enormous obstacles he faced.

Bawa told Daily Trust that his livestock business began 20 years ago with about 50 cows. However, the journey started while in the university in the 1990s using part of the scholarship he got from the federal government to raise cows.

“I am actually into general cattle breeding, both dairy and fattening. I am so much motivated into dairy and general breeding because it is something I personally have passion for. It is an occupation I inherited from my parents and feel I should not abandon but rather improve on to ensure more productivity. I actually started a serious animal husbandry business since 1990s when I was in the university,” he narrated to Daily Trust on Sunday.

As the saying goes—that experience is the best teacher—the farmer said he had made so many mistakes, but instead of allowing them to kill his dreams, he decided to learn from them and move on.

“When I look into how I started, I see so many mistakes in the past, which I have learned and corrected over time. I actually started with a small scale, but with determination I am being able to grow to an appreciable level,” he said.

In a period where feed is a critical issue with livestock farmers in the country, Bawa said he had to devise a means to deal with the situation that has forced many to shut down.

“I am able to solve that problem by ensuring that I deliver affordable means of providing feeds to my animals. In my farm you will not only see animals, you will also see crop farms like maize, rice and others. The residue of these crops, the by-products are usually stored after harvest and used for feeding of my animals throughout the dry season. This has really helped me over the years in attending to the feeding issues encountered by many pastoralists. Also, I try to raise some special breeds of grasses to support the natural one we have in the area, although it has its own challenges in terms of watering them during the dry season, considering the savannah nature of the area in Bauchi State,” he explained.

Today, Bawa’s farm (Baraji Integrated Farms and Ranches Ltd) has a capacity of about 400 hectares of land with a population of about 1,000 cows. This is, however, just about 40 per cent of what he wants to achieve. The breed of animals he has are mostly white Fulani cows
His choice was deliberate because, according to him, the white Fulani breeds have the “ability to withstand the long dry season of the area.”

The farmer explained that growth had not been as expected because of the issue of funding, which is actually a major challenge.

“Lack of funding resulted in taking me over 20 years to reach where I am today. I have not reached 40 per cent of where I want to be. I wish the government at different levels would come out with a good enabling environment to support farmers, especially pastoralists. This will go a long way to provide employment opportunities to many unemployed youths in the country,” he stated.

But funding is not the only major issue for the farmers. There is lack of government support to building their capacity to increase knowledge on good practices. Others include the issue of climate change, animal diseases, ever increasing cost of feeds, cattle rustling and general insecurity.

Bawa advised the government to take “measures to improve animal production, both dairy and fattening. This will go a long way towards solving so many problems in the country, especially at the rural level. Farmers can be settled in clusters and the government would provide all the needed support in terms of facilities and enabling markets for farmers to be able to raise their animals and easily sell their products to make a living.”
