We Need Access To Funds,
Equipments Not Phones,
Farmers Tell FG The plans by the Federal
Government to distribute
mobile phones to 10 million
farmers across the country,
has been criticized by the
potential beneficiaries who described it as a misplaced
priority. Rather than provide
them with phones, they say
access to funds is what is
needed instead. A member of the All Farmers
Association of Nigeria in
Delta State, Dr. John Akwara,
said phones do not appear on
the list of priorities of an
average Nigerian farmer. He said, “What we need are
funds not phones. We also
need to see some sincerity in
the people who are in the
ministry of agriculture
because they are fond of ‘cornering’ things meant for
farmers for their personal
use. “If government really wants
to help farmers, they should
help us with better access to
funds. Some of us need funds
to set up our farms and
others need funds to expand. Bank interest rates are too
high; average farmers can’t
get loans from banks. So,
government should make
sure we get these funds.” Akwara further blamed
politicians and civil servants
whom they alleged
‘hijacked’ government’s
intervention funds for the
sector. “All the money government
approves for agriculture does
not get to farmers. Politicians
and those in the ministry of
agriculture end up being the
beneficiaries. For example here in Delta State, they use
some funds approved for
farmers to empower political
thugs. They told them to
form a cooperative society
and once they did, the money was allocated to them in the
name of farmers,” he said. In her own reaction,
Managing Director of Duke’s
Farm, Ijebu-Ode, in Ogun
State, Mrs. Omotayo
Omotayo, the idea of giving
phones to farmers is unnecessary since most
farmers already own mobile
phones and have been using
them to connect with their
market. She said, “I don’t think
buying mobile phones for
farmers is important. There is
hardly any serious farmer
that does not have a phone
or a means of communicating with his or
her customers. “The idea doesn’t hold water
because, at least here in Ogun
State, we have the
Agricultural Development
Programme. They usually go
into the rural areas to educate farmers on new
farming techniques. So, I
don’t think farmers need to
receive such information on
mobile phones.” Omotayo, instead advised
government to buy farm
implements for farmers. According to another farmer,
Benjamin Samson, who is
also a member of the Catfish
Farmers Forum, government
should give out loans to
farmers instead. “Phones have become very
cheap. So, any farmer that
needs a phone can buy it.
What we want is for
government to give us
loans,” he said. Posted by daniel on January 13, 2013.

for me it's 0-1-1 because I normally eat breakfast between 11am & 12pm which we term brunch and supper late in the night(9/10pm).

Shexy1983: dis is my email
shexy1983@gmail.com

I will prefer ur gsm number.

Shexy1983: i want my people to benefit from me that is why am here....... If u're nt ok with dat u can pack ur load and delete urself 4rm here.
Just take a look @ d questions 4rm science department, u can see hw tidius d questions........ NOUN didn't provide lecture in some study centres, to get course material is a big problem even if u want to buy them........ Dis is TMA Not exam. If NOUN dont want us to help ourselves, They wouldn't make it public like dat........they kw dat exam time is d judgment period where every students shal sit by their computer and use ur head.
Remember, TMA is just 30% of the total mark. So why we no go help ourself. I beg delete joooo.... All of u just dey make me vez. As u dont do ur own, post it and let others benefit.

point of correction... i have not done mine yet. if am not able to solve the questions myself even with the aid of my course materials then i dont deserve that Bsc at the end of my program.the best you can do for them is to come together and solve those questions we find difficult to answer.

willox: any access stdnt who registrd undrgraduat courses eg (gst) shud rop dis as a mattr of urgncy. Filling to dis means dt such stdnt wil nt gt credit 4 such courses nd wil forfeit d mney paid 4 it.
THIS IS D INFO. I SAW WHEN I LOG ONTO NOUN.EDU.NG. D QUESTN 2 ME IS, WHO ARE ACCESS STDNTS? WAT IS JST GST AL ABT ETC.. PLS SMBDY SUD SAY SMTHG

The Access Program is like a pre-degree program for those students whose results are not complete..... All you have to do is register those subjects you don't have, write and pass them before you can be promoted to 100 level. You can only register one or two papers which you dont have.

PHC4: Warri; free flow of traffic, relative peace, tarred roads etc

May be this warri is in another state and not my Delta state. The warri that i live in is the very opposite of what you mentioned above.

stankezzy: is tecno not chinese fone, i wonder how it will run on android.

TECNO don upgrade from chinko to mainstream........ So they are now fully into the smartphone biz.

Logicboy03: Heaven doesnt exist.



But then christians would have to admit that atheists go to heaven even if it existed. Why? The good Samaritan.

The good Samaritan did not go to heaven but was only used as an illustration to show you who your true neighbours are.

speedy4u: Let me know if you have further enquiries. Thx.

How can i upgrade my account?

Abujafood: I heard in the News that those transformers were among power equipments abandoned at the ports since 2006! May be hoarded is not the right word to use because they were recently released by the Nigeria Customs service!

you are very correct... Hoarded is not the right word but abandoned because i saw it on AIT last night.

President Jonathan's High- Priced Militants: Asari Dokubo, Tompolo, Ateke Tom Paid Millions of Dollars Annually Posted: August 22, 2012 - 14:46 President Jonathan's aide,
Oronto Douglas and ex-militant,
Asari Dokubo
By PM News, Lagos America’s Wall Street Journal
today revealed the mind-
boggling million dollar sums
that the Nigerian government
has been paying Niger Delta
warlords to keep them off the oil pipelines in the past 12
months. Mr. Dokubo Asari, the former
warlord that first shot to
national limelight collects $
9million every year to keep his
estimated 4000 soldiers at bay.
‘General’ Ateke Toms and ‘General‘ Ebikabowei Boyloaf
Victor Ben collect $3.5million
apiece while General
Government Tompolo
Ekpumopolo is the most priced
of all: he gets $22.5 million yearly. The newspaper said the figures
were gotten from senior
officials of the Nigeria National
Petroleum Corporation, which
makes the payment direct to
these warlords. While Dokubo shrugged off the
huge payment he receives,
about N1.44 billion, as nothing
unusual, there is the belief that
the selective payments have
bred some jealousy among other militants, not so
rewarded, who in reaction
continue to pillage Nigeria’s
crude oil pipelines. Nigeria loses
no less than 10 per cent of its
crude production to oil thieves on prowl in the Niger Delta,
despite the programme of
pacification called the Amnesty
Programme. By Shell’s account, no less than
150,000 barrels of Nigeria’s
production are stolen daily, a
very low estimate in the eyes of
many Niger Delta watchers. The Wall Street Journal said in
its report that government
plans to spend $450 million on
the amnesty programme this
year alone, despite the
increasing theft of crude in the region. Said the respected journal: The
gilded pacification campaign is
offered up by the government
as a success story. But others
say the program, including a
2009 amnesty, has sent young men in Nigeria’s turbulent delta
a different message: that
militancy promises more
rewards than risks. For more please go to : http://online.wsj.com/article/SB

CONTACT The Task Belongs to the Youth
to Save Nigeria Posted: August 13, 2012 at
8:45 am By Rayyan Umar I AM 24 years old; I hold a BSc.
as well as an MSc., from a
reputable business school in
England; I am well on my way
to making the transition from
“student member” of the ACCA (Association of Certified
Chartered Accountants) to full
membership; I am a couple of
months away from finishing up
my Youth Service in a
government agency. In an ideal world, I would be the poster
boy for optimism with regard
to my future, yet I find that this
is not entirely the case. I am Nigerian, you see, and that
tends to mean life for me is
never quite as straightforward
as it is for… say a South African
or Canadian of the same age and
similar academic qualifications. I find that as often as I dream
about my amazingly bright
future, I am equally tortured by
torrid visions of a future devoid
of any brightness. I find this
state of affairs unacceptable; after all, one of the joys of youth
is the ability to dream dreams,
and dream unencumbered. That
is what makes a Youth. I have asked myself on many
occasions how and why my
country finds itself in such a
sorry state today, why I cannot
be boundlessly optimistic about
my future like my Emirati or Canadian counterparts. The
answer is not so much
complicated as it is vast in
nature. Friends, classmates,
colleagues and books have
offered bits and pieces of this answer ranging from the
colonialists and their act of
entrusting Nigeria to the
“Northern feudalists” at
independence to a supposed
gene that all Africans possess that renders our ability to lead
and administer sincerely,
selflessly and effectively
impossible. Some less imaginative people
insist that the devil is to blame…
who am I to disagree with any
of them? I however feel like the
answer is rooted in one phrase,
“moral depravity” i.e. the impairment of virtue and moral
principles. It is worth noting that this
phenomenon is not exclusive to
Nigerians or even Africans, it is
global in nature. From Wall
Street to Onitsha the symptoms
of our diminishing sense of morality is rampant in the
actions of people and
institutions from Bernie Madoff
toying with the hard earned
money of American citizens to
the mechanic in Ojuelegba that would think nothing of charging
N10,000 (Naira) to replace your
worn-out brake pads for an
even worse set, in full
knowledge that they are
endangering your life by doing so. This underlying issue of moral
depravity is ubiquitous in
Nigerian society; the symptoms
differ depending on what area
of society one chooses to
examine, and the justifications are just as varied. “The
government isn’t doing
anything for me, I might as well
take my share of the money
that should be used to provide
the basic amenities for me”, “The money is going to be
misappropriated anyway, what
harm is there in ensuring part of
it is misappropriated in my
direction?” Two out of an endless supply of
justifications one is likely to
come across. One will find that
the concept of “two wrongs
don’t make a right” or “just
because everyone is doing it doesn’t make it acceptable”
hardly registers as good enough
arguments against such
behaviour. But enough about
the problems, where and what
is the solution? The solution for me is quite
simply a change of attitude.
Mind you, not in the obvious
sense, in that only a portion of
Nigerians needs to embark on
this change of attitude. The youths, the TRUE youths of
Nigeria, are the people who
need a change of attitude. We
are young, energetic, brimming
with ideas and exposed like no
other generation of Nigerian youths before us, yet we seem
to have already resigned
ourselves to the fate our current
leaders would have us
entrapped. For the most part, we are
distracted be it by drugs, girls,
living a false life, plotting on
how to fund the said false life,
you name it (some will suggest
that these distractions are necessary as without them, we
would surely go insane as a
result of the endless list of
challenges we face. I agree, but
suggest that there are less
hazardous ways to distract one) . The change of attitude I
advocate is not necessarily in
the moral sense alone like you
would expect. This is so for two
reasons, the first being that we
don’t need to be angels to rule effectively, and the second, it
would be foolhardy to think
that anyone reading this will go
ahead to fight the immense
personal battle that is necessary
to change the course of our diminishing sense of morality. Yes, personal uprightness is a
substantial part of it because
uprightness and dignity are
unstoppable force as
exemplified by Mahatma
Gandhi’s struggle. The change I suggest we make
has to do with one aspect of our
attitude. That is the “sit and
watch” attitude the majority of
Nigerians (most especially the
youths) have adopted in the face of the impending doom our
country faces. We feel helpless, like we can do
nothing to influence the sorry
state of our fortunes, this is
categorically untrue, especially
for the youths. Unlike our
parents, not only do we have the energy and numbers to
make an impact, we have
(generally speaking) fewer
responsibilities, how much
more the great incentive to
ensure that this change occurs. We don’t have children to feed,
clothe and educate, so we are
not putting any dependents at
risk by embarking on the
treacherous task of rising
against the system in the non- violent manner of Gandhi and
Martin Luther King Jnr, nor do
we have jobs with substantial
enough remuneration to
dissuade us from bringing about
change, especially when we look at the fact that should the
change be successful, it will
translate to a better standard of
living for both ourselves as well
as the dependents that will
come down the line. It is imperative that we realize,
sooner rather than later that
this is the only chance we have
to rise up, for if we let this
opportunity pass, we will wake
up one day to find we are too compromised (by the same
system we are unhappy with)
to fight for this change we
need, thus sentencing another
generation to the same
problems we were born into and have watched get
progressively worse. Having spoken at length about
the problem(s) and examined
what we need to change in the
process of embarking on this
process to engender a change of
sorts, it is necessary to present the steps we need to take
within the context of the
impact we need to make. Every single Nigerian that falls
under the designation of
“youth” needs to become
politically active. Politically
active in the sense that we need
to align with and provide our services to the political party
that we believe has the most
promise (with regard to
changing the course that the
country is treading right now)
with a view towards inheriting the machinery of the said
parties within a decade, give or
take. It goes without saying that
being politically active also
means that we all have to go
out, get registered to vote, and
exercise that right when the
time comes. The goal here is to take responsibility for our own
future, as opposed to leaving it
in the hands of the jokers in
charge right now. As I said earlier, we have
nothing to lose, if we succeed,
we find ourselves with the
opportunity to influence our
future as well as that of our
unborn children, if we fail, we can take whatever the future
brings knowing we didn’t sit
back and let it happen. Chances are, if 50 per cent of the
people who read this article
heed my suggestion, we will be
an unstoppable force and failure
will not be an option, let alone a
possibility. Rayyan Umar is an NYSC
