Effort in futility. The human element is dead.
These folks would rather chase biafrans and suck APC's nuts, than read about what will benefit them.

Thanks guys. Hopefully by next week, you can come up with something legible.

I'd like to pass it to the Yoruba organization and Ekiti Parapo Org around here.

New page on me......yayyy

Aareonakakanfo:
Aaahn what eez doing this one gan sef?you be man?ehn Iya agba

Can you guys collectively come up with a collection of persuasive reasons for why every Yoruba/Nigerian person should support regionalism?
I'll help distribute it.

Whatever.

Who buys the chrome netbook? Who buys nexus?


They should focus on search optimization.

Aareonakakanfo:
P.im.p? Huh!!! The portfolio befits you more

Ibebe is my witness

Wa ogbeni, stop mentioning me when you guys start discussing women......I don't want wahala abeg.

Any noticed that Crayola1 is always checking this thread with another igbo hiding under a ghost ID (can't remember the username. Starts with C ends with Z).

The only way out of this Sahara Desert that our thieving politicians have successfully navigated us into, is regionalism.

This will enable us to harness the resources and strength of the region collectively, instead of in piece meal we are presently witnessing.

Any recent talk on regionalism?

Last I heard about it was from Anyaoku.

zimoni:
You and shymmex ehnn

Hope you have seen the BEADs? If she catch you ehnnn

And, have you seen my big head too?

I'm missing Eggheader and his Oodua Insurgency Crew, they called themselves Oodua Insurgents/Oodua Armed Forces. GeneralScatter/Scatterboss was their Chief of Defence Staff lols. The dudes went to develop a software to spy on igbo e-warriors. Last year was interesting, it was full of laughter from jan to dec.

I will go to DAWN office when I go to Ile-Ife late this month or next month.

Yo, can you let me know when you're going.

If you can get close, present yourself and tell them about this thread and our main goal so that they can be aware of developmental opportunities we discuss.

I'm interested in being active with current projects they're working on.

It would be nice to talk to someone on the inside.

WIZGUY69:
not really, apart from free feeding & opon IMO whatever.

but he was mostly defending the idiot that his inability to pay workers salary is a national thing. due to the fall in oil price. bla bla bla.
And I ask, if osun state don't use to collect allocation every 30 days? calling Aregbesola a failure is an insult to the word failure.

He's a disgrace and a fool.
He's not fit to lead even his a family.
He only brought shame And ridicule to osun state.

SMH.......

superstar1:
Shymexx, do not be deceived.

If they tell you they are borrowing to meet recurrent expenditures, just ask them how much was the wage bill before they took over and how much is it now?

Let them show the corresponding productivity that followed the increase in wage bill.

You will realise it is all propaganda. The reality is they say all that to cover up their unrestrained looting.

Wow.

What's the difference between local rice and ofada rice?

Rice taste the same.

Ladies and Gentlemen

It’s an honor to be here in the company of so many committed individuals who know that Nigeria can play an important role in meeting the global demand for cocoa. Those here today have the knowledge and capability to assist in the renewal of Nigeria’s cocoa industry.

Although there is an insatiable worldwide appetite for chocolate, Nigeria is not positioning itself to take advantage of the opportunity that represents. When I travel through the regions of Nigeria, I am struck by the fact that cocoa is still raised by hand, not by machine, and remains a very labor-intensive commodity to produce. Cocoa production is still very much a family enterprise, from planting to carrying the bags of cocoa beans to the buyers, who may be far away from their farms. Despite the physical labor involved, farmers are realizing very limited incomes from their efforts.

This reality is aggravated by factors that are often beyond the control of farmers including pests, weather and diseases that affect yield, and the prices that are frequently fluctuating on world markets.

The U.S. Government has been working very closely with the Nigerian government, as well as with the country’s private sector, to advance Nigeria’s Agricultural Transformation Agenda. Bringing transformation to this country’s troubled cocoa sector is what brings us together today.

As we all know, global demand for cocoa is rising faster than cocoa production. Emerging economies such as China and India have developed a taste for chocolate, and many consumers can now afford the luxury. Cocoa consumption in developed economies is also up, with more and more consumers now demanding darker chocolate with upwards of 70 percent cocoa content. Given my love of chocolate, I am happy to read recent press reports that doctors are finding there are even health benefits from eating dark chocolate – without too much sugar.

With this rise in demand, international buyers are predicting a potential cocoa shortage by 2020. This has already contributed to cocoa prices rising 25 percent in the past year.

But sadly, cocoa production here in Nigeria is diminishing. Cocoa farmers and their trees are aging, and farmers are getting some of the lowest yields on the continent. Farmers are tending small plots of land, often less than two hectares and are not making the investments needed to maintain quality or productivity. With high interest rates, and the cost of inputs exceeding farmers’ ability to pay, the sector is not seen as a viable way to make a living. Sons and daughters of cocoa farmers are heading to the cities for other opportunities.

Clearly, something needs to change if Nigeria is to take advantage of rising global demand for quality cocoa. This Summit provides an excellent opportunity to begin a discussion on how to again make cocoa a significant contributor to Nigeria’s economic development.

The solutions to improved competitiveness in the cocoa sector exist – they are not unknowns. Improved access to inputs, finance and investment, technology, and technical assistance to raise quality are all part of the solution. Making cocoa a viable prospect for youth employment is a real possibility and in the context of Nigeria, an absolute need. The challenge is to come to agreement among all the actors – government and private – to put these pieces together in a way that enables Nigerian agribusinesses to thrive over the long term.

This is precisely the reason that the U.S. Government is supporting this summit and encouraging the coordinated development of the Nigerian cocoa industry. I wish you the best of luck today in holding fruitful discussions, and developing a coherent plan to usher in a new era in Nigeria’s cocoa sector.

Thank you.

[size=18pt]Ogun, Cocoa Farmers Make New Pact On Forest Reserve Regeneration[/size]


Farmers planting cocoa in the Ogun State government-owned forest reserves and the State Ministry of Forestry have entered into a new agreement on how to regenerate the reserves.

Under the agreement, the Ministry would supply free tree seedlings to the farmers who in turn will plant them in the farms. The farmers are also to stop payment of regeneration fees forthwith.

All these were made known today in Abeokuta by the State Commissioner for Forestry, Adebayo Fari while addressing newsmen on the outcome of a meeting between officials of the ministry, those of the Ministry of Agriculture and representatives the affected farmers.

Fari disclosed that a monitoring team made up of officials of the Ministries of Forestry and Agriculture as well as the cocoa farmers would be raised to ensure strict compliance.

“We would from time to time inspect the farms where we expect the farmers to plant the tree seedlings and their cocoa. We expect the two to be nurtured and growing up at the same rate, however, where we discover that a farmer is taking care of only his cocoa and not the tree, we would not hesitate to deal with such farmer accordingly” Fari stated.

Reminding the farmers that government’s initial plan was to dislodge them from the reserves, Fari disclosed that government however changed its mind in order not to severe their source of livelihood and enjoined them not to misuse the opportunity by not extending their farms.

Also speaking, Commissioner for Agriculture, Mrs. Ronke Sokefun, represented by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Agriculture, Mr. Wale Ogunyomade advised the farmers to do their best to take care of and nurture both their cocoa and the trees as agreed, warning them not to go beyond the lands allocated to them.

Responding on behalf of other cocoa farmers, Mr. Azeez Fayomi pledged their readiness to abide by the rules guiding the agreement, lauding government for the gesture he described as a welcome development.

[size=18pt] Industrialisation: Ogun Set to Establish 50 Hectare Cocoa Plantation [/size]

In its continuous quest to invest in agriculture to drive industrialisation, the Ogun State Government is set to establish a 50 hectare cocoa plantation in Alagbagba in Odeda Local Government Area of the State. Conducting newsmen round the site which had already been cleared,

Commissioner for Agriculture, Mrs. Ronke Sokefun said the project would bring back the lost glory of the State and indeed the South–West in cocoa, adding that it would provide employment opportunities to hundreds of farmers to be engaged directly.

Sokefun also said planting would start early next year with improved varieties that have 18 months gestation period, adding that the second phase of another 50 hectare would commence immediately after the planting of the first phase

She therefore called for the cooperation of the entire Alagbagba community to make the project a huge success. Speaking, the Olu Orile Ilaho of Alagbagba, Oba Oladapo Aina expressed appreciation to the State government for bringing smiles to his people by locating the project in his domain.

He said his community was known for cocoa plantation in the past and pledged readiness to make more land available for other phases as well as other agricultural interventions.

In the meantime, Ogun State investment at the Owowo Model Farm Estate in Ewekoro Local Government has started yielding dividends with large production of eggs from its poultry pens.

According to the Director of Agric Services in the Ministry, Mr. Sunday Adegoriolu, the over 7,000 birds at the farm estate produces about 150 crates per day.

[size=18pt]Cocoa farmers in Ogun urge FG support[/size]

Abeokuta, Jan. 19, 2015 (NAN) Mr Solomon Williams, the Chairman, Cocoa Farmers Association of Nigeria (CFAN), Ogun Chapter, has appealed to the Federal Government to provide all essential inputs to improve cocoa production.

Making the appeal in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abeokuta on Monday, Williams said the government should empower farmers with inputs such as fertiliser and agro-chemicals as well as facilitate easy access to loans.

He added that the lack of equipment and insufficient funds was one of the major problems affecting cocoa processing.

"Government should help farmers by giving them agricultural inputs and finance, to maintain their farms.

"Maintenance of cocoa farms is very imperative and capital consuming.

"It takes about two years for cocoa trees to start yielding well, which needs essential maintenance.”

The chairman noted that more cocoa farms had stopped production due to inadequate funds, increase in interest rate on agriculture loans and high cost of raw materials.

William also urged the government to ensure early disbursement of fertiliser and other chemicals that are very important in cocoa production.

"The government only supplies us with fertiliser in Ogun which we do not really need much of it compared to the chemicals that we need most.

"We have also never benefitted from government loans; they have refused to pay attention to the cocoa sector as it was in the past.

"Government has forgotten the past glory cocoa brought to Nigeria; cocoa was once the mainstay of Nigeria’s economy.

"We can point out so many things cocoa money was used in developing this country, but when oil came up everybody forgot about the sector," he said.

He expressed the fear that the challenges might lead to low productivity and marginal profits, if not checked.

He urged the Federal Government to enable cocoa farmers to have access to single digit bank loan, saying that it would enhance steady growth in the agriculture sector.

He, therefore, appealed to the government to always involve cocoa farmers when decisions on agriculture were being taken.

"We believe that as key stakeholders in the agriculture sector, government must seek our own input on any issue that concern agriculture in the country," he said. (NAN)

[size=18pt]Ekiti govt to invest N50m in cocoa production[/size]

Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State has announced his government’s plan to invest a sum of N50 million for the revamping of cocoa production in the state.

Governor Fayose, who stated this while meeting with cocoa farmers in Ado Ekiti at the weekend, said the measure was geared towards encouraging the cultivation of the cash crop and repositioning cocoa farming for better result.

He told the farmers, who had gathered under the aegis of Cocoa Farmers Association of Nigeria (CFAN), Ekiti State chapter, that the meeting was part of the efforts by his administration to restore the glory of agriculture as witnessed under Chief Obafemi Awolowo.

The governor, who flayed what he described as the neglect suffered by the sub-sector under preceding administrations in the state, assured that his government will revert the trend, adding that he would do this by supplying the farmers all the necessary aids, particularly subsidised inputs to ease farming.

He said a seven-man committee would soon be set up to prepare a roadmap on how cocoa production could be revamped in Ekiti.

[size=18pt]Chinese firms to revive cocoa industry in Osun State[/size]

The moribund Cocoa Processing Company in Ede, Osun state, would soon set for production following a lifeline from two Chinese firms who have promised to resuscitate the comatose firm.

This assurance came when the Chinese firms paid a courtesy visit on the state governor Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola at the government house in Osogbo. the state capital.

‎The two China-based firms, Skyron Corporation and Golden Monkey Group of Company promised that production would commence in the next 6 months.

Mr. David Shi, who led the Skyron group stressed that ‎the company has been in the business of Cocoa processing in the last 10 years and that their firm is similar to that of Ede.

[size=18pt]Cash-strapped Osun returns to Cocoa; factory to begin production November[/size]

The moribund Cocoa Processing Company in Ede, Osun state, on Thursday received a lifeline with the intervention of two Chinese firms who have promised to resuscitate the comatose industry.

This disclosure was made when the Chinese firms paid a courtesy call on the governor of Osun, Rauf Aregbesola, at the Government House in Osogbo.

The resuscitation of the cocoa products company is expected to create jobs and generate revenue for Osun state, which has been hit by severe budget crisis that has left government workers without salaries for at least seven months.

‎The two China-based companies -Skyron Corporation and Golden Monkey Group of Company – promised that production will commence at the cocoa factory in the next six months.

David Shi, who led the Skyron group, said ‎the company has been in the business of cocoa processing in the last 10 years and that their firm is similar to that of Ede.

He held that the company was sure of turning around the moribund cocoa processing company in no distant time.

According to him, “Cocoa processing industry is not a new terrain to Skyron having been engaging in similar sector and company in the last 10 years”.

“Skyron group had a turnover of $6.4billion in the year 2014 with visible investment in agriculture and construction sector established across the world including Lagos and other states in Nigeria”.

Also, the head of delegation of Golden Monkey Corporation of China, Liu Jin Hiu, assured that aside resuscitation of cocoa industry, a Confectionery Company will also be established.

Mr. Liu also added that the group was ready to embark on massive production of cassava as raw materials for the confectionery.

He said, “Golden Monkey Corporation remains the number one producer of candies and chocolate in China, reviving the cocoa processing company in Ede will not be a problem.

“The partnership with the government of Osun in reviving the cocoa project will end up being a win-win partnership project. We have several investment companies in West Africa, especially Cote D’voire with 55 additional branches throughout the world.”

In his remarks, Governor Aregbesola disclosed that the Osun state was ready to provide an enabling environment for the investors, urging them to consult him whenever they have challenges in pushing ahead the investment.

The governor, who also spoke on cassava production and processing, said the state is the largest producer of cassava in the country.

He assured that land and personnel already committed to cassava cultivation and investment are guaranteed, saying the government will look forward to a speedy revival of the cocoa processing company in Osun.

Mr. Aregbesola also advised the foreign investors to be ‎up to date in the use of technology and equipment by replacing the obsolete machinery in the moribund company.

“We hope that with result-oriented activities and hard work, your company should hit the ground running as we are committed to ensuring that your investment will yield profit as operation commences,” the governor said.

“We desire for others what we desire for ourselves. We therefore challenge you to allow activities to start at the Cocoa processing company in Ede latest November this year.”

DMO: Nigeria's Foreign Debt Portfolio Hits $11bn

18 Oct 2015


Domestic debts now N11 trillion

By John Shiklam in Kaduna

The Director-General, Debt Management Office, Dr. Abraham Nwankwo has disclosed that Nigeria’s external debt profile has risen to $11 billion as at last week as against the $ 9.4 billion recorded in March. Similarly, domestic debt profile was said to have risen to N11 trillion.

Nwankwo disclosed this in an interview with journalists in Kaduna on Friday shortly after declaring open a one-day enlightenment workshop with leaders of students' unions from tertiary institutions.

Nwankwo, however, said the quantum of the debt did not really matter. He said the most important thing was how the resources were deployed to encourage economic growth, development, generate employment and reduce poverty.

According to him, the concern about debt is "whether you are in a position to pay back what you borrowed as at when due," stressing that in the case of Nigeria, the debts remain sustainable.

He noted that the current global economic problems, particularly the collapse of oil prices, were having a significant impact on economies all over the world.
Nwankwo said, "because the Nigerian economy is very resilient and because the government is in control, Nigeria’s debts continue to remain sustainable.

"Presently Nigeria owes, domestically, about N11 trillion and externally, about $11 billion.The figures are the total of all debts in the federation. It includes external debts of the federal and all the state governments as well as the domestic debts of the federal government and all the state governments.

"Let me emphasise that what matters is not just the quantum, what is important is how these resources are deployed to encourage growth, development, generate employment and reduce poverty.

"It matters whether you are in a position to pay back what you borrowed as at when due and in the case of Nigeria, I want to assure you that Nigeria’s debt remains sustainable.

"Based on current global economic problems, particularly the collapse of oil prices, this is having significant impact on economies all over the world. Because the Nigerian economy is very resilient and because the government is in control, Nigeria’s debts continue to remained sustainable."

Nwankwo commended the federal government and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for maintaining a healthy reserve and for stabilising the exchange rate in spite of the shock occasioned by the drastic drop in oil revenue.

He said Nigerians should be proud that they have a government, a CBN and an economic system that is sound, in spite of the shock we have.

He noted that other countries like Venezuela and Russia that had been in similar position had had their currencies devalued very rapidly in the first 30 days of the oil shock.

"But you can observe that it was until about three or four months later that the CBN had to do some little adjustments with the exchange rate.

"Nigerians should be proud that the economy is so resilient, that we have enough food for our population and that food prices, in spite of what has happened in the past seven months or more continues to be moderate.

"That shows that over the years, we have attempted to improve, to diversify the economy, to strengthen our agriculture and that is a source of inspiration for all of us," he said.

He urged Nigerians to use "the opportunity of President Muhammadu Buhari’s change to do better than we did in the past by working hard in making sure that agriculture continues to expand and modernise so that we can have real food security."

In dollars.......but we'll be paying back in terms of naira.


*Faints*

WIZGUY69:
I tell you.
I just check his profile, And I discovered that the election was just last year.
And osun folks still like the man.
I was discussing with a friend from osun, (Aregbesola haven't paid his dad pension for a year now) and the guy still LOVE (not like) the man.
I was like are you insane or what. seems the man jazzed all osun folks.

Did he give you a real reason why he loves Aregbe?

WIZGUY69:
I don't even know the one I HATE most between Aregbesola & fayose.

both are a disgrace to the entire Yoruba at home and abroad.
build infrastructure, you no build. OK pay workers salary. mba.
wtf

Yet their people loves them so.

So yea, I can't absolve Ekiti/Osun people for their ignorance.

If na to protest for development, you no go see them.


I hope they came to burn his coffin.

WIZGUY69:
can't wait for 2018 for the idiot to pack his bag and leave osun.

2018?

OMG that's too long.

Are you guys seriously going to wait till 2018?

3 more years to plunge Osun into more debt.

Fucking fo' real?

I'm almost too afraid to ask how much it cost Osun state to build that drum.

Are Yorubas in Nigeria so hopeless that they can't do something about this?

WIZGUY69:
it's due to party affiliation that we package and defend Aregbesola even to the extent of owing workers salary. and we will still be the one to point another PDP state governor that's owing workers salary. I don't just understand. how we are blinded by politics that makes us to seeing saints in this governors while they are not.

I can't remember the last time I got on a thread to support Aregbesola's rascality. It's disappointing when I see Yorubas defending him just because of the tribalism on NL.

WIZGUY69:
you mean they should use their personal money to pay back the loans?

I expected that much.

Shymm3x:
I don't think Fashola has that type of money. I doubt Tinubu allowed him to steal that much in Lagos cos once you start allowing ya "younger" you brought in the game to steal/make more than you, then the level of respect will diminish.
OBJ is as useless as they come...that's the Mr. Nigeria gorilla right there. That nyggah doesn't care about Yoruba unless there's money to made.
And isn't Tinubu the unseen hand that got the whole region into this mess in the first place to enrich himself? You think the same rogue will help, no?

*SIGH*


They make it so easy to give up.

Waste of money. This is why they think Africans are dumb.


So we don't have any techy people to teach them in Nigeria?

Aregbe embodies rascality to a T. He makes GEJ look like Sir Isaac Newton.

Fayose the stomach infrastructure bandit is Aregbe without the goatie.

^^^These two shouldn't even be allowed to manage a family.

I seriously can't.

Who is going to pay back all these loans?

The likes of Tinubu/OBJ/Fashola etc can pay the loans, but they're too selfish for the Yorubaland interest.

Omisore

His words: “Osun is now a failed state because of the financial recklessness of the governor. I really appreciate the fact that he confessed the present state of Osun affairs is beyond him, and he should immediately throw in the towel.

“Nearly all commercial banks in Osun are being owed one form of loan or the other. The matter has reached a stage that the committee of bankers in the state at their meeting resolved that no bank should loan this government any more money. They are also waiting for remittances into state’s coffers.

“As soon as money comes in, they withdraw it. The situation calls for sober reflections, and we will also look at ways we are going to help our people in a manner that will not ridicule them.”

Commenting further, Omisore said the immediate past federal administration did not owe Osun or any state statutory allocation or any other funds due to it, and alleged that, apart from inflated contracts, Aregbesola also spent a huge sum on the presidential project of the All Progressive Congress, APC, and was among the five highest donating states.
