₦airaland Forum

whatlyf: I did not mention name and when did that become an offence? See if worse come to worse I will QUIT the forum.

Quiting is not the answer, cos if you quit it means that the evil has reigned supreme
Even me, I have been finding Nairaland so nasty these days to extend that I rather sleep in the Lab doing research than wasting my time on some dolts and irrelevant issues, but I still squeeze out time to come out and learn as well as contributing my quota
Even as I type am on top of my ALGORITHMS

whatlyf: Nigeria must not sink but be rescued. Unfortunately, my barcanista handle has been banned by the SITE OWNER for this "funny" reason...

for posting a thread instead of using "mail mods" or "mail supermods". Ban expires at August 28, 2014 at 09:17:20 PM.

Sure you are not indicting yourself with the revelation of the Nairaland jail term
Meanwhile I have been busy with some programming stuff throughout the week, a lot of tasks to be accomplished, but will soon make out time for full politicking on Nairaland

Sloan: You these Igbos and your long throat! You've failed massively in governing the smallest patch of land in Nigeria, an entire region smaller than some states. No other Nigerian aspires to govern any state in the SE, people who live there do so mostly because of FG work assignments. No normal non-native student will leave the best schools in the West, in the north and SS to go to SE. No Nigerian wants to stay longer in SE than he has to but ibos on the other hand want to keep their land to themselves and migrate to claim joint indigeneship in other parts of Nigeria why abusing the same people! Imagine ibos saying why do northerners always give their building contracts to ibos as though they are too stupid to be building contractors on their own? Mister forget it! With millions of native indigenes in almost every state, there is absolutely no reason, nothing an ibo man can bring in governance that can not be found in the native population. Yet, Iboland is the most failed region outside the places where terrorism has a foothold in Nigeria.

My dear stop deceiving the public. Wisdom is the principle thing.

echobee: 12 years old? . Basic three? . O ga oooooooo .

I thought was the only one who saw that.

Gbawe: You're a fool. You are one and the same with the m0r0n who started this thread so no surprise you focus on my response alone. This is a poster who packaged lies together to claim falsely that SW states owe 45% of Nigeria's total external debt stock. You know why he has lied.The entire forum knows why. It is the usual ethnic baiting killing this forum that many are fed up of and have spoken against. As a Yoruba person and the target of such glaring character assassination from the bigoted OP, should I be praising him? He is part of a group of posters who wake up daily looking for ways to malign Yoruba people. If it takes lies to do so then so be it and this is what this dubious thread illustrates . You are equally dishonest with how you do not see or acknowledge the OP's deliberate deception and thus the reason for my involvement in this pathetic thread. has he changed the false title of the thread till now when he has been shown many, many hours ago that his allegation is false? Personally, I despise liars.

You guys only deserve derision from all proud and balanced Yoruba folks for your non-stop malevolent obsession with the SW which makes you ready, any time, to lie horridly in the effort to always make Yoruba States and people look bad. Kindly refrain from quoting me again with your garbage. Tell off your lying kinsman first if you want to gain the respect of others. He remains unrepentant over his lies and deliberate attempt at deception and you are quoting me? You are the same as him. Another immoral "olodo". You and the OP are dullards anyway so pointless educating you about the essential points related to State and National borrowing.

The Minister of Health, Professor Onyebuchi Chukwu, has confirmed two new cases of the Ebola Virus Disease. Professor Chukwu says the two victims are spouses of dead victims of the disease.

They are currently being treated in Lagos.

This brings the total number of cases, including the index case to 14, with five deaths and five survivors, while four are currently being treated.

At a media briefing in Abuja on Friday, Professor Chukwu said the 67 persons under surveillance had completed the 21 days incubation period for Ebola, and had been discharged. “Presently, there are 213 people under surveillance,” he said.

The Health Minister further refuted reports credited to the Lagos State Commissioner, Mr Jide Idris, that there are additional five cases of Ebola.

Professor Chukwu added that it was his duty as the head of Nigeria’s Health Ministry to announce new cases and also give updates on the virus.

According to the Minister, the six people under surveillance in Enugu State had not developed symptoms of Ebola, but are still being monitored.

“The Federal Government, working with the Lagos State government and other partners, will continue to maintain vigilance, continue to strengthen our containment activities and wishes to reassure the Nigerian public and the global community that efforts will not relent until the very last case of Ebola Virus Disease is seen in Nigeria,” he stressed.

Professor Chukwu, however, cautioned that the government could not give an assurance of complete eradication at the moment.

He asked Nigerians to be calm and not panic, as the efforts of the government to battle the disease had been applauded by the international community.

If you are looking to invest in Nigeria, the largest Economy in Africa, you should consider rice farming which is the most profitable in the Agriculture sector, the Minister of Agriculture, Akinwunmi Adesina, said on Friday.



In an interview centred on food security and the reforms in the Agriculture sector, Dr Adesina said that the agriculture policy of the government had opened up the sector for more investments to thrive.

He said that the government had made necessary contributions in terms of high yield seedlings for small, medium and large scale farmers.

He listed different chains in the agriculture sector that the government’s transformation agenda was focusing on, emphasising that ‘rice is the most profitable’.

The agenda is aimed at shifting the mainstay of the  Nigerian economy from crude oil to agriculture.

“If you invested 14 million dollars in an integrated rice mill in Nigeria today, the internal rate of return on the investment is 42 to 50 per cent and the time it takes you to pay back the investment is exactly two years. It is the most profitable thing that anyone can be doing in Nigeria today.

“That is because the population is rising and people are consuming more rice.

“If we folded our hands in Nigeria today and keep importing rice from India Thailand, by 2050, we will be spending 35 billion dollars importing rice from them.

“We have started distributing this rice variety and when we started, we started with roughly about 406,000 farmers in 2012 then we moved to 2.6 million farmers in 2013. In 2014, we have added another three million farmers growing this rice.

“Fifty per cent of the farmers that are growing rice in the wet season have shifted to this variety of rice that could be planted in dry season. We can now produce in the wet season and in the dry season,” he said.

Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, had said he would be investing a billion dollars in commercial rice milling.

Other big names in Nigeria are also coming into the sector with huge funds, evidencing the viability of the sector.

Thai For Rice In Africa

The Minister said that with the policy that President Goodluck Jonathan had put in place, more investments were expected to come in.

“Nigeria Agriculture has changed and that is why the big names are coming in. They realised that it is a big money making enterprise. There is a role for everybody, the small the medium and the large.

“Aliko Dangote said by God’s grace we will become the Thai for rice in Africa and that is what a good policy does.


The Nigerian government is providing new rice seedlings that farmers can plant in both dry and rainy seasons.

“I think that what the president has done is extremely good. He has set very good policies and we are beginning to see the rewards of that.

“In Rice today in Nigeria we have a total of 1.6 billion dollars of private sector investment going there.

“I feel the momentum is there and we will achieve it. I believe that in three to four years Nigeria will, by the grace of God, become just like Thailand for rice in Africa,” Dr Adesina said, expressing optimism that rice production would continue to increase.

Over the years, the amount spent on importation of rice from India and Thailand has been on the increase and the government is looking to reduce this in the next few years.

“It is a shameful thing that Nigeria will continue to import rice when it has the resources to export.

“We could not continue the import demand that we were having. It is affecting the Naira, We are spending so much money defending the Naira and we are exporting our jobs if we continue to import,” he stressed.

Despite the increase in the production of rice, there is still a shortfall of supply, as rice is a staple food that most Nigerians eat.

To shore-up supply, Dr Adesina stressed the need for more awareness to be created to get consumers realise that the “Nigerian rice is great and better than what they have.

“The next thing would be to continue to produce so that they can have regularity of supply to patronise the Nigerian rice.

“Nigerian rice is cheaper than the imported rice. An analysis of the market showed that the weighted price of the local rice is cheaper than the imported rice,” he said.

Since the government policy on rice importation was put in place, Rice smugglers have continued to bring in foreign products.

Mr Adeshina, however, urged security agencies manning Nigeria’s borders to increase surveillance and check smuggling activities.

“We have to deal with the issue of smuggling. We cannot have a situation where people defile our borders and come in with items they like. People don’t carry them on their heads. They go around in trailers and those that have to do their job must do their job,” he said.

Cocoa Farming Gaining Attention

Nigeria used to be a major cocoa exporter, but the discovery of crude oil led to dearth in the production. But as the government is looking to diversify the economy, cocoa farming is gaining gradual attention, with production increasing.

To encourage cocoa farmers in Nigeria the government had started giving away high yields and high breeds of cocoa that give five times the yield that farmers are currently getting.

Over one million farmers all across the cocoa growing states in Nigeria have received seedlings and that translates into roughly 39 million seedlings that have been given away for free. This will allow for the cultivation of 40,000 hectares of new cocoa plantations that will increase production from 350 thousand metric tonnes to 800 thousand metric tonnes in the next two years.

The Minister said that Nigeria was getting close to Cote d’Ivorie Coast and other cocoa producing countries, insisting that Ivory Coast will not beat Nigeria in cocoa.

“We are doing the same thing also for oil palm and we have given away nine million sprouted nuts of oil palm free of charge to farmers.

“We are replacing the tall palm trees variety with short once. Because nobody can export a tree, we are investing in planting them so that it will be producing fruits in the next 30 years.

“We must be looking at our ports’ use which should not only be for imports but for exports also. Our rice today in terms of total value added to our local economy in terms of gross value across all the states is 750 billion Naira since we started in 2012.”

A suspected fraudster that impersonated Barrister Wilson Amarachi, Secretary to Minister of Finance and Co-ordinating Minister of the Economy, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has been arrested by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.



John Nze Madu was arrested at Diamond Bank, Ojodu branch, Lagos, where he went to make withdrawals with an ATM card.i

Investigation showed that Madu defrauded a Chinese national, Wu Qingzhu, of the sum of Five Thousand, Three Hundred and Eighty American Dollars ($5,380) when he allegedly posed as Barrister Wilson Amarachi and deceived the Chinese into believing that he had outstanding payments to collect for contracts executed for the Nigerian Government.

This, he achieved by presenting the Chinese with fake documents from high ranking Nigerian officials. He allegedly used different email addresses, two documents purportedly from Daily Sun Newspaper, an official gazette purportedly signed by President Goodluck Jonathan and Senate President, David Mark and an international passport data page purportedly belonging to Amarachi.

Madu contacted Qingzhu through an online message, informing him that he was expected to open a non-residence account in Nigeria and make payment of $300 (Three Hundred United States Dollars). Qingzhu complied and made two other payments: $1,430 (One Thousand Four Hundred and Thirty United States Dollars) and $3,650 (Three Thousand Six Hundred and Fifty United States Dollars), through Western Union.

Madu was arrested at the bank premises where he went to withdraw proceeds of his fraudulent activities.

He would be charged to court after investigations are concluded, according to the EFCC.
