How did Zim fail anyways? When the whites were farming, there was food sufficiency, now that 'their own people' are in charge - starvation. A simplistic analysis at best, but it shows the flawed nature of your reasoning.

even if the government underwrites a loan - it is simply a guarantee.

hi!busta,
i can't seem to upload pics on nairaland.com
can you send me your email?so i send them over.

the houses im selling are not actually publicised
if they were,they wouldnt go for this price
and i wouldnt be contacted to sell them as the
govt agency in uestion does not deal with middlemen.

this happens to be unaudited/underpriced houses
mis handled by the former chairman of the agency.
the new chairman has asked that they be sold of at the
original govt price.

this is being carried on discreetly to avoid the normal
hijack by politicians(you get)
and all i recieve is my 10%when you have
gotten your papers.

you don't pay to me or anyone you make your payments
to the agenct's account.please not that you can call me now on +2348037600752
or mail me at dswebmaster2003@yahoo.com.

payments close on friday this week.

There are many sides to this issue - on one hand, are the local farmers organised enough to secure financing from the banks?

Its not like these 13 or whatever number of farmers are being given all the funds supposed to go to other farmers nationwide - let other states do what they can to promote agriculture - Kwara has chosen its own part, and I hope they are successful, it could possibly serve as a model for other farms which are not established simply because someone was in government.

Yes the government is at fault in many respects, but not completely

People who should know have explained on this forum what it takes from conception to implementation to actualise EPC contract yet you refused to listen. One only wakes up somebody who is asleep not somebody pretending to sleep. It takes other countries long time to carry out EPC projects too, the only difference is that they don't call press conference at conception stage, you only get to know at the site assembly stage.  Have you not heard of Airlines placing orders with Boeing or Airbus that will take 5, 6 years to deliver. In the 4th year, if you go the airline hangar and you don't see the airplane, does it make Boeing/Airbus a thief or the contract a failure?

acre is just 6plots

Can somebody educate me on the meaning of " constituency allowance"

The police would save more by updating and equiping one of their hospitals in naija.

Is it the same Government that kept under-reporting the death toll that you'd trust to distribute all that money and materiel efficiently?

many of these Un aid workers are very skilled in handling this kind of circumstance, it's pure stupidity to take this kind of line.

Even the Russian Government under Vladimir Putin sought foreign help from western countries to enable it rescue the crew of a sunk submarine, after an initial delay.

Over 40 percent of the EU's budget goes to agricultural subsidies. Are they partly responsible for the current food crisis? The EU says no, but experts say subsidies can imbalance the market over the long-term.

Ok, so ghana and togo being ABROAD makes it better, HOW

“Henceforth, ACPs, Deputy Commissioners (DCs), Commissioners of Police (CPs), Assistant Inspectors-General (AIGs) and Deputy Inspectors-General (DIGs) must go for annual medical check up abroad to certify their health status,’’ Okiro said.

In correspondence with the fraudsters, the doctor said he would invest the money in malaria research. The doctor paid out $35,000 in wire transfers before becoming suspicious and contacting police last August. Police set up a sting operation and arrested Owolabi following a meeting at the doctor's Winnipeg home, Sept. 7.

I'm not sure why you find the write up offensive?

This is the same landis that felt it was ok for him to post ugly pictures of Nigeria but as soon as he finds the same sort of pictures on BBC, most of these taken by Nigerian reporters who work for the company, he immediately condemns them for it.

So there appears to be a distinction between the factors that raise the oil price because they affect sentiment and the ones that genuinely affect supply and demand for oil.

And it may be that rises due to the former are vulnerable.

"It's like the dotcom boom in the 1990s," says Mr Lewis. "It was overinflated, but as long as everyone kept believing in it, the price went up."

"When they stopped believing in it, the price went down. And that's a warning."

why can't nigerian farmers handle competition, trade protectionism doesn't make sense.

The soldiers that were killed, don't they have families too?

I don't see where this is going because i asked you if it was difficult for skill transfer and you did not answer. If you are saying steps have not been put in place for this to happen then that is another matter. As you can read from my first post i said i hope there is skill transfer. Of course the ex Zim farmers are probably hear to simply earn a living first. Does that mean we can't learn from them? So what are you arguing about? If you want to argue about government putting infrastructure in place then that is another thing. But to just argue about skill transfer as if it is rocket science, i just don't know. To correct those obstacles then government simply needs to put make sure this becomes an avenue to expand on the agric sector. Afterall are they going to fly in employees from another country?

THERE are indications that President Umaru Yar'Adua's health may have become worsened. This follows what sources said was the inability of the President to attend major functions and receive visitors since Friday. It was gathered from sources at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, that many people who had wanted to see the president had not been able to do so since Friday.

Efforts to speak with the presidential spokesman, Mr. Segun Adeniyi, on the state of the health of the President, proved abortive as he refused to pick several telephone calls made to him.
