Anyway the election is tomorrow. Churches in Nigeria used ti be apolitical until Buhari came on the scene. In 2015 several church leaders spoke against his election but others in favour. The major critic being Bishop David Oyedepo while the major supporters were Tunde bakare, Sunday Adelaja and father Mbaka. People like Sunday Adelaja propagated the news that pastors collected bribe to support Jonathan. In all of this Pastor Adeboye was silent especially because one of his pastors is going to be the vice president.

From 2015 to 2018
The anti Buhari message became intensive on the pulpit in 2017 and 2018 when thousands of christians in the North were slaughtered and the president did nothing about it. More intensive when all service chiefs were all Muslims. Even Tunde bakare his one time running mate who also supported him in 2015 came out to criticize Buhari especially on his treatment of the herdsmen and the plan to create colonies. Bakare asked "who do you want to colonize"

Fast forward 2019 election
Almost every pulpit now whether Igbo, yoruba or Hausa men of God has taken time to tell people to vote for Atiku not because Atiku is a saint but because Buhari must go and Atiku is the only likely option that will make that happen.

Prophet Isa El Buba
He has been arrested before 2 years ago by DSS due to his message that went viral calling for Buhari to resign. This time around the reverred prophet bared it all including calling names. He mentioned governors that should be voted out including el rufai and ganduje. He listed so many sins of buhari. According to him
"Nigeria is more divided now than ever before. within the past 3 years under Buhari over 11 million people lost their jobs, more lost their lives and many commited suicide. With all the killings of the fulani herdsmen Buhari has not declared them a terrorist. It took the president 6 months to appoint a group of cabals. At this point we must free Nigeria from the hads of these cabals...We must help baba Buhari to go back to Daura and rest with his family."

Bishop David Abioye
Bishop david Oyedepos assistant was very plain though he did not call names
"Dont open your eyes and vote for people who will kill you. Christians were killed and no apology by people who are in office and you will still blindly go and vote for them. Churches were destroyed and no one cared to build them back and you will still blindly go and vote for them? Even if the people who are there when they do that answer the name of a christian, turn them off. Four years ago many people heard warnings like this and many still sheepishly went to do what is wrong i hope by now we are wiser."

Most of these compounds can be lost when a man ejaculates during sexual intercourse, but chewing cashew fruit or cash nut can help restore them.
The cashew fruit juice is now popping up in herbal formulas designed to boost energy and sexual function; it also helps to promote normal sleep patterns in menopausal women. Cashew fruit is also known as “MAN POWER”, because it contains high copper content that is vital in energy production (a key factor in sexual intercourse), greater flexibility in blood vessels, bones and joints and also high in calories. It’s rich in many essential vitamins that help to maintain healthy gums, teeth and numerous health promoting phytochemicals that protect one from diseases and cancers.

PALM KERNEL NUT & SHELL
Product Description: The Oil Palm tree is one of the greatest economic assets Nigeria has, provided its importance is realized and potentials fully harnessed. Oil Palm products include Palm Oil, Palm Kernel Oil, and Palm Kernel Cake among other products. These can further be processed into RBD OLEIN (Cooking Oil), Vegetable Ghee, Shortenings, Margarine. CBE, Ice Cream, Dough, Creaming, Coating, and other specialty fats. Some other by-products of the Oil Palm include Palm wine, fatty alcohols as well as intermediates. Nature has so made it that all aspects of the Oil palm tree are useful and economically viable.

“Oils” is a collective term for more or less viscous, generally organic-chemical liquids. Depending on their chemical composition, a distinction may be drawn between fatty, essential, mineral and silicone oils. Fatty oils include liquid, semisolid and solid products of vegetable and animal origin. They are also known as sweet oils.

Palm kernel oil is a white to yellowish oil of vegetable origin which is solid at normal temperatures and is obtained from the kernels of the oil palm. Palm kernel oil is different from palm oil, which is obtained from the flesh of the fruit.

Four products namely palm kernel oil, palm kernel cake, palm kernel sludge and palm kernel shell which is used as a bio fuel can be gotten from palm kernel nuts. Palm kernel oil is processed to yield edible fats, soaps and candles and is used in the confectionery, pharmaceutical and perfume industries.

Location, Availability and Production of Palm Kernel Nuts and Oil:
Palm kernel nut is a by-product from the milling of palm oil and can be sourced from oil palm plantation scattered in the rain forest region in Nigeria. We can help you to source of the nuts bit by bit or after the extraction of the oil from the fruits.

The product is usually available in large quantity during raining season from May to September and extends to December.The production of palm kernel nuts, we have the hand and machine cracked. The hand cracked palm kernel nuts are those gotten by the use of hand while the machine cracked is that gotten from the use of machine in the cracking process.

Although some buyers usually prefer the hand cracked because the Free Fatty Acid content is usually low due to less breakage of the nuts but cannot depend only on it due to less output. Machine cracked with the advantage of more output gives high FFA content which can be controlled by reducing the breakage of nuts. The machine in question has an efficiency of 90%, that is, if 100 KG of palm kernel {unshelled} is feed into the machine, 90% of the palm kernel nut would not be broken.

The machine we used for the production of palm kernel nuts are two types, the ones that can crack and separate the nuts from the shell and the other that does not separate the nuts from the cracked shell.

HOW TO PROCESS CASHEW NUT IN NIGERIA.

According to the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Mr Audu Ogbeh, the current worth of a tonne of roasted or processed cashew nut for export is $10,000 while the raw cashew nut is sold for $1,200 at the international market. This calls for exporters in Nigeria to focus more on the export of processed cashew nut rather than exporting raw cashew nut.
You will find below alittle guide on how cashew nut processing is done in countries like india.

The raw cashew nuts are procured from the local farmers and local market. These cashew nuts are dried in the sun for a period of two days and are then stored in the gunny bags for processing through the year. The process of sun drying helps in removal of excess moisture thus resulting in longer storage. The processing of cashew nut is a four stage process, each designed to produce quality edible cashew kernel.

Steam Roasting
The outer shell of the raw cashew nuts has to be removed to produce the edible cashew kernel. The outer shell of the cashew is very hard and it contains a corrosive oil which is harmful for human consumption. The process of steam roasting helps in removal of this hard shell with minimal effort. The raw cashew nuts are put in a drum connected to a mini boiler. The steam from this mini boiler is passed over the cashew nuts placed in the drum for a period of 10 -15 minutes. These cashew nuts are left in the drum for 20 minuets for proper roasting. The roasted cashew nuts are then taken out of the drum and placed in the open air for a period of around 12 hours to let them cool down and help in removal of the cashew shells.

Shell Cutting
The roasted cashew nuts are then taken to the cutting department to remove the outer shell. This is a complex process and requires highly skilled labor to get maximum unbroken kernel output. This process required each cashew nut to be individually placed between blades of the machine operated manually to remove the outer shell. This process results in production of cashew kernel with soft inner shell. These nuts are then placed in a oven which is constantly maintained at a temperature of about 60 degrees for a period of 24 hours to make the inner shell brittle.

Peeling
The inner shell of the kernel has to be removed to produce the white nuts. The peeling process is designed to remove this inner soft shell after the kernel is removed from the oven. The kernel is used for peeling after it is left in the open for a period of 12 hours. This cooling helps in peeling process. Each nut is individually peeled to get white nuts. These white nuts are then sent to the grading department.

Grading
The process of grading is designed to sort the white cashew kernel into different grades. The white kernel is divided into two main types, wholes and pieces. The wholes are further divided into 15 grades and the pieces are divided into 9 main grades. The process of sorting wholes and the pieces is based on the size, color and texture of the nuts. The sorting is done based on the set international sizes. These nuts are then once again placed in the oven to make the nuts crispier before they are sent to the packaging department.

Packing
The cashew kernel are packed into plastic bags of different sized for sale in local market and in tins of 10kgs for sending to other markets.

HOW TO START CASHEW NUT BUSINESS IN NIGERIA

CHOOSING THE END PRODUCT FOR EXPORT
There are a number of end product of cashew that revolve around cashew nut exportation business. Raw cashew nuts and cashew nut shell liquid are the two main products that have a great demand in international market. There are other two cashew products namely cashew kennels and cashew apples. Cashew kennels are also sold in world market; the USA is the leading consumer of it.
Starting an exportation business requires you to decide the end product you would make the most impact on. Cashew nut business has an attractive value chain where you can focus your attention on. You may want to process your cashew nuts before selling, or just selling them directly. Whatever the case, knowing the right strategy that will yield the highest financial reward is important. Processing these nuts significantly increases the market value.

SEEK INVESTMENT GUIDANCE
To start well, it is important to get guidance from the right sources. The Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria (CRIN) Ibadan, is a good place to start from. By doing this, you will have significantly lowered the chances of failure in your intended business. CRIN has carried out a lot of research in this regard; hence, it is the right body to approach. an important aspect of the research conducted by CRIN is that you get to know the sources of demand (both domestic and foreign). This makes exporting of these cashew nuts easier.

SOURCE FOR PRODUCT FROM WHOLESALERS/FARMERS.
In Nigeria, due to high demand of cashew nut in the international market, a lot of farmers are currently engaged in cashew nut plantation. Before you can start the exportation of this product, you need to source for these the products from farmers all over Nigeria. To make work easier for you, you can visit some of the research institute such as Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria CRIN and National Cashew Association of Nigeria (NCAN). These bodies and their representative are well informed about the sources of these products and the states where interested investors can get cashew fruit in large quantity.


REGISTER YOUR BUSINESS
Registration of a product gives identity to the products and the company making the products. It also protects the adulteration or imitation of the product. So while starting the business of cashew processing, you will need a number of registrations as well as licenses from Government and its agencies, both at the national and state levels. However, registration depends on your scale of operation (scale of operation will be further explained below). Gaining official approval enables the business to function at a much bigger capacity. Registered agro-allied businesses stand to benefit from a lot of incentives. You may want to take this serious as a new start-up will require all the breaks it can get to enable it stabilize. Domestic and foreign supply requires you to have a license obtained through registration. The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), National Agency for Food, Drugs and Control Agencies (NAFDAC) are examples.

SEEK MARKET PROSPECTS
There is no business without patronage and potential customers for it. All over the world the demand for the cashew nut is speedily growing. Many countries of the world indulge in consuming, processing, producing and exporting of cashew nuts. It’s one of the major agricultural products that is imported and exported in many countries.
