The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr Akinwunmi Adesina, on Tuesday in Makurdi, said the Federal Government would soon ban importation of rice into the country.

Adesina made the statement at the opening ceremony of a three -day summit and exhibition, organised by Africa Farming Project (AFP) for Northern Nigeria.

The minister said the ban would be enforced within the next four years because Nigerian farmers would be producing more than enough rice that could effectively cater for the needs of Nigerians.

The minister, who was represented at the occasion by Dr Sunday Edibo, the Regional Director, Federal Ministry of Agriculture, North Central Region, stated that the surplus would be sold to other countries.

He stated that importing food stuff into the country did not speak well of a country like Nigeria.

Adesina said this was because Nigeria had been featuring prominently in the world market as a result of agriculture boom in the 1960s and early ’70s.

“The trend of importation of food stuff in the country, especially rice must be reversed by all means,” he said.

He urged Nigerians not to believe the speculation that there would be severe famine in 2013 as a result of the recent flood disaster.

After reading this epistle, you might probably be of the opinion that the Omo Baba Olowo paid
me to do this, but in sincere truth, i will want to confide in you that i got to establish my respect
for Davido as an act a couple hours before writing this. I will be quick to add that Davido is an
act i never believed at inception.
Back when he first dropped officially with Naeto C, he struck me like a wannabe. His music
never had any connections with me. He was further disadvantaged because as at his time of
entrance, the Wizkid was red hot and in vogue.
Although at inception, a lot of people saw him as a direct competition with Wizzy, he just never
occured to me in that light. A couple people will at least agree with me that the track 'Back
When' is just of the mediocre category.
Hardworking Davido later dropped 'Dami duro' which did very well commercially after he spent
a whole lot of cash promoting it, but sincerely the commercial success did not move me. The
song was just another track by another new arrival. Dami duro got all the airplay any song could
have got. It was well slammed on all radio stations, clubs and parties. Someone even told me that
whenever you buy a memory card from the very popular computer village at Ikeja Lagos, Dami
duro is a gift on the card, that's how far the promotions went.
With all this hardwork, i still never got impressed with Davido, that doesn't happen a lot.
Whenever i told people that Davido is yet to earn my respect as an artiste, i usually get a grin, but
i cared less.
Bad news for me O.B.O Davido never cared about my views and opinion, he kept doing what he
know how to do best, dropping Ekuro, a love song which caught up with several fans, especially
those of the female folks.
Ekuro is another song which i must say sincerely did well and still doing well commercially. The
song came into the factory and has stood the test of time. Let me be quick to add that all three
tracks have got very beautiful videos, but i still wasn't impressed.
I know by know u'll be wondering what then got me to respect Davido, how did he please me?
Back when, Dami duro, and then Ekuro and i wasn't impressed, how then will i be?
I have many a times had discussions with other music critics like Pmonkz of Pmonkz
entertainment about Davido, but only a few belong to my school of thought. Others see Davido
as an act who has come to stay. I never argued their opinions though and it never stood in the
way of mine.
Nemesis caught up with me a few weeks back when i was on a radio show at Unique Fm Ilesha
Osun state where Davido's No visa was played. This song got me. Being a lil egoistic, having
full knowledge of the fact that people around know my view of Davido, i decided not to talk
much about the song, but indeed this song arrested me. In a couple minutes, i had starteted
singing along.
No visa, a song which was done on the same beat with Move it by Skuki got me stunned.
Davido's delivery on that beat was superb. I had no choice than to ask for a replay by Dj Shinog.
I did not get the title of the song, so downloading it was a little difficult. I did not want to ask
anyone around as they knew my view of Davido, so i decided to confide in google. I got the song
downloaded and it was on replay for days with an estimated play of over 300 times.
No visa, a song on which he featured his cohort Shina Rambo earned Davido my respect.
Contratry to my friend Tosin Adeda of Radiopalmwine's opinnion of Shina, i think he did well
too on that song.
This song made me do a thorough analysis on Davido and his music and i came up with the
conclusion that asides bad manners and pride, Davido is one of the most talented acts we have

around who is set for the larger stages of the world. He's indeeed got talents. He's got what it
takes to be here a while longer than imagined. I know a couple peeps who will mail me after
reading this to either laugh at me or mock me, but quote me anywhere Wale Applause said
Davido is here to stay.
