shii! NCAN meeting don end

why does this seyi resemble dino

Good afternoon dear Nairalanders, I'm a fresh out of school graduate, I got an acceptance to study 3 SAP modules in Canada, the thing is I've read and consulted a lot about it, and my findings were good, its just that a family friend who lives in Canada did some investigations about the institute and she disapproves of it. She insists I don't pay and instead use the money to do an MSc. Please your advice will be valued. The institute is Innovations in Business Solutions (IIBS).

prela:
Only God can help us.

Meanwhile, bigval! Bigval!! The wife beater, I see u n nairaland today

sorry, I'm not married and have never laid and will never lay my hands on a woman.

43,5 1,82 please someone should explain how does names are from The east

kITATITA:
I haven't heard Ben Bruce position on the attacks. Is he in support or against. No elected Ijaw lawmaker has said anything

.
He has openly condemned them in one of his common sense interviews and asked for the government to dialogue with them, as the dialogue is free

and those banks will use our money to be doing business interest free

menstrualpad:
he is as corrupt as sin and a gay which I can always prove.

for clarity sake, abeg which uni did he attend and what proof do you have of him being gay

I believe the fire is a cover up for the theft that went on there, If we had forensic experts they could do an analysis of the remains and crosscheck with the inventory

Obere4u:
“In the build-up to the last general election, PDP was vilified, intimidated with religion, falsehoods and propaganda through Facebook postings.“

Was APC not branded as a Muslim party in SE and SS? Didn't PDP claim that PMB main agenda is to Islamise Nigeria? Was PMB no branded as the chief sponsor of BH? Didn't PDP claim that APC is a Muslim party? what did APC do in the north that PDP didn't do in the east? PDP lost out due to miscalculation and APC capitalized on that. When FFK and Mama Peace were busy attacking PMB personality even aired it on a TV station, didn't they know? PDPings are sore loser and will lose again because APC have come to stay and WILL put things in order.....

you are saying the same thing naa

Ogbeni, no be Juju matter be this

Mass Cum

that's good, but I don't celebrate ceremonies anymore but results, on a .more serious note with all the good power supply in Osun state, why isn't it a manufacturing hub?

shameless woman

OP you did your best, but I still maintain my stand on the Nigerian system, let's revert back to true federalism and resource control, watch how local governments with crude oil scout for Investors to come in and build refineries, they tax and use it to develop their places, the North with all their minerals will be forced to buckle down and look for investment to build their place, I believe every part of Nigeria has potentials of being fully independent of the center, harnessing their resources, creating jobs and wealth

Lilimax:
Nice decision!.
But I thought I read on this Forum that Julius Berger have wound up their business in Nigeria
I hardly believe most news I read online these days

sorry, it made my eyes sore. Good job wike

that height difference is so true. 6'3 guys with anything less than a 5'7 babe is work

As much as I detest Prostitution, I don't really buy this idea of having a Constitution for a "select few" and one for the General public, these are issues that bring about clamour for secession

CoCoLav:
I don't fully agree that more money is being spent developing weapons of mass destruction. Having experienced what is happening in the biotechnology sector and also with the benefits transhumanism holds for the human race, I think equal attention is being given to other useful technologies. If you have statistics, you can share.

Just imagine what Sophie in this video can accomplish for humans.

well, Bio-tech in form of Genetics, Bio-fuel, and alternative sources of farming is receiving massive Investments, but Babe, Nuclear weapons, fighter Jets, Ordinary cooking of Viruses (Ebola, Zika) has much more money spent on them. maybe 500% more at least.

nijabazaar:
I dont think we should fear artificial intelligence....

My point in this conversation is that
the dangers from AI are overblown by media and Christian foundamentalists, and the real danger is the
same danger in any complex, less-than-fully-
understood code: edge case unpredictability.

In my opinion, this is different from ‘dangerous AI’ as most people perceive it, in that the software has no motives, no sentience and no evil morality, and is merely (ruthlessly) trying to optimise a function that we ourselves wrote and designed.

Your viewpoints (and Elon Musk’s) are often presented
by the media as a belief in ‘evil AI,’

isn't it the same Musk that uses AI for his Tesla?

He stated that the WHEN the refineries come on full stream, locally refined products would be left unsold in the reservoir to boost supply and availability of the products. it's this "When" that annoys me the most, when will it happen

CoCoLav:
Have you seen 3D machines that print edible pizza?

Technologies are not necessarily about war and destructions.

that's true cocolav, but consider how much is spent to develop weapons of mass destruction and compare it to how much is spent to improve agriculture or even sustain a healthy environment, noting that both also make use/need high level of technology

johnydon22:
Exactly my brother ..

No matter how beneficial something can be, it can and must also be used for negative ends.

Look down history from Politics to religion and technology!!! Technology if not checked will prove to be the worst of all.

There is no money for food and other technologies that can actually help humans but how come there is always money to fight each other and make weapons that are threats to our existence

i wonder!!!

I've always thought about this, the world spends way more on developing weapons than on producing food to combat hunger and poverty, seems the goal is to keep people hungry and poor, so that they will have every reason to kill themselves.

Imagine if ISIS, AL Queda or our dear Boko haram and Fulani herdsmen get a hold of Cyborg tech, they will just be imagining terror and unleashing at the same time

Hi everyone, I am Richard Chinedu Agetu, a graduate of Fisheries Management from the University of Ibadan. I am a Nigerian from the Niger Delta Region and I am 24 years old. I am an agriprenuer and I have an undying passion for agriculture and related issues.

The G2 project aims at providing food to everyone across Nigeria at an affordable price to end hunger, achieve food security, improved nutrition and sustainable Agriculture. I intend to contribute to the achievement of Goal 2 of the Sustainable Development Goals with this project in my region and Nigeria as a whole.

This would be achieved by bridging the gap between the prices and supply of high quality food in the rural and urban areas, thus making food abundant and affordable for everyone irrespective of their social class in urban areas and increase the incomes and market accessibility of rural farmers who are majorly smallholders. For this project, Benue State (The food Basket of the Nation) has been selected as the focal point

Over 80% of Nigerian farmers are smallholders. As smallholders, they farm on less than 1 hectare of land, they lack access to basic social amenities such as electricity and water and do not have access to storage and processing facilities. This forces them to live in extreme poverty and in terrible conditions. They sell their produce for way less than the recommended market prices and even go as far as giving these produce for free just to prevent losing all to spoilage.

In the Horticulture value chain, over 750,000 MT of 1,500,000MT of tomatoes goes to waste annually. Furthermore, Over 50% of the citrus harvest goes to waste annually. Yet, we go as far as importing tomato paste to supply the urban areas despite the abundance of tomatoes in rural areas; we also import over 150 million USD worth of orange concentrates in the Juice making industry annually. The most heartbreaking is the rate of wastage of mangoes.

Apart from the unbelievable level of wastage experienced in these food producing communities, the difference in price is alarming and really unfair to the ever hardworking farmers and the teeming urban populace. Middlemen buy food at very cheap prices and make as high as 1000% profit when they sell them in open urban markets.

I am not entirely against the profit they make, but I am strongly against the effects of their actions which includes, depriving smallholders of their livelihoods, the inability of urban consumers to buy as much food as they would love to, and making food an expensive commodity in the midst of plenty.

A basket of tomatoes goes for as low as $0.25 in the farming villages and for $25 at the same time in urban centers. A bag of citrus costs $3.5 in the farming villages and goes for $30- $35 at the same time in urban areas. A basket of mangoes sells for as low as $0.5 in rural farms and for $25 in urban areas at the same time.

It would shock you to know that the aforementioned produces do not undergo any form of value addition before the prices sky rocket. This drove me to launch this project on the 22nd of January, 2016.

With this project, post-harvest losses would reduce to the bearest minimum, food security would be achieved, incomes of smallholders would increase, small holder farmers would be granted access and included in the agri-markets, jobs would be created for youths and I would have the honor to effect this desired change in the agricultural sector in Benue and Nigeria as a whole.

The G2 Project would achieve its objectives by buying agricultural produces at prices above the prevailing market price and sell to end users at prices below the prevailing market prices. This way, the farmers, distributors, processors, users and I all smile to the bank J. For an easy and sustainable execution of this project, I would liaise with farmers’ associations, traditional and district rulers to ease my access to farmers for capacity building, awareness campaigns to broaden my reach.

With the help of my friends, I have raised some cash to start this project. I have employed 2 youths who are locals of the producing communities and would employ more in the nearest future to encourage inclusion in the value chains and reduce thuggery to the bearest minimum. I have also established relationships with truck drivers who ensure the swift and timely delivery of these produce to their designated destinations to reduce post-harvest losses.

To determine the success of this project, we will measure the quantity of produce sold, the frequency of trips per week, the socio-economic changes experienced by farmers and the reduction in quantity of post-harvest losses.

The $5,000 would help in the purchase and set up of:

Collection and Sorting Point $1,500
Capacity Building on Improved Harvesting Techniques and advocacy visits to farmers’ Associations, district and traditional rulers $500
Purchase of Food Crops $1,500
Purchase of utility tricycle $1,000
Online Campaign and Advertisement $500.

I would be honored to be a part of the revolution in the Agricultural Sector in my country through this project. Let’s get farmers out of poverty and make food very affordable.

Thank You.
