How can one get dat groundnut cake?
Pls explain if well. Is it dat u will buy groundnut, and start feeding dem with it?

The cocoyam, after u have cooked and mashed it, how do u preserve it to last?
It depends on quantity, if you are a small time you can get anywhere, however if you are commercial you can buy trailer loads in Niger state. You can experiment till you get it right. Using local easily sourced materials will drive down prices.

If this is how you reason then..it means every investor coming into Nigeria must build universities. Create unions for their workers? In private sector?..etc ..that is bullshit..

Are you aware that the there is a free training academy in Obajana..the road that connects Obajana to kabba was built by Dangote?

There are health insurances for staffs as well..
Don't say what you don't know
Let the truth be told, for all that monopoly we give Dangote and his cohort, their presence should be better felt. Most investors assist the communities they make money from.

IbeOkehie:
Jan 2012 was literally and metaphorically the dry season. Fuel subsidy was scrapped by President Jonathan. Nigerians rejected the policy back then and accepted the claims of Buhari, Tinubu and APC that "there is nothing like subsidy. Fuel subsidy doesn't exist". They believed them so much they elected APC to control the Federal Government.

The videos are available, the internet has all the records of the National mood at that time.

The truth is that the 10 years of of fuel subsidy from 2012 to 2022 finally destroyed the financial stability of this country. This was predicted by knowledgeable economists like Okonjo-Iweala and Alhaji Sanusi and Alfred Rewane. The records are there. I have repeatedly cited them on this forum.

Even my humble self predicted it. I used to tell everyone I knew at the time the same thing I'm telling you now - one day Nigerians will beg to pay full price for fuel. Because the fuel subsidy is still in place. It was only PARTIALLY removed.

Nigerians are suffering the consequences of their own stupidity. One fool in America told us elections have consequences. Here we are.

Good Luck to Nigeria.
nice write up ! What do you have to say about there still being subsidy as of now. I am here from some quarters, there is still subsidy as the governement has balked from allowing free floating petrol prices. IF they let it be determined by only market forces. It will cause more uprisings.

If the government removes anymore subsidy at this current point.

They will be kicked out before next elections.

Nigerians trust politicians too much, thats why we are in this mess.

There is no guarantee the removed subsidy will not be looted or end up in the pockets of corrupt politicians.

Truth be told, the government needs to account for the removed subsidy every quarter, we need to see how the money is being spent.

If not why would cement, getting free limestone (main raw material), getting free laterite

With cheap labour, not paying raw materials fee to government

Not paying to the states they are located

Not developing the states, they are situated in. OBAJANA is the largest in Africa, producing over 10 million tonnes per year !

No unionized workers, health insurance, benefits.

No community projects, with the money they make in Kogi, there should be a University built for Kogi state.

After all these freebies, they are increasing cement prices. Tinubu should set up a committee to issue more cement manufacturing licenses to prominent stakeholders and watch the price of cement come down fast.

Animal feed production is slowly grinding to a halt. So what will these animals eat?
This is where science and technology would help, we have to create cheaper less expensive animal feeds.

Cassava peel meal is a byproduct of cassava processing and is often discarded or underutilized. However, it can be dried, ground, and incorporated into poultry feeds as a source of energy and fiber. Cassava peel meal is relatively inexpensive and can help reduce feed costs for poultry farmers.

Palm Kernel Cake: Palm kernel cake is a byproduct of palm oil extraction and contains protein, energy, and fiber. It can be used as a supplementary protein source in poultry feeds, especially in combination with other protein-rich ingredients such as soybean meal. Palm kernel cake is generally less expensive than soybean meal, making it a cost-effective option for poultry feed formulation.

Brewer's Dried Grains: Brewer's dried grains are a byproduct of the brewing industry and contain protein, fiber, and some residual carbohydrates. They can be used as a source of protein and energy in poultry feeds, particularly for broilers and layers. Brewer's dried grains are often available at relatively low cost and can help reduce feed expenses for poultry farmers.

Groundnut Cake: Groundnut cake, also known as peanut cake or peanut meal, is a byproduct of peanut oil extraction. It contains protein, fat, and fiber and can be used as a protein source in poultry feeds. Groundnut cake is commonly available in Nigeria and is generally less expensive than other protein-rich feed ingredients such as soybean meal.

Feather Meal: Feather meal is a byproduct of poultry processing and contains protein and minerals. While feathers are not typically consumed by poultry, they can be processed into feather meal through hydrolysis or steam treatment. Feather meal can be used as a source of protein in poultry feeds, particularly for broilers and layers. It is often less expensive than other protein-rich feed ingredients such as fish meal or meat meal.

Cocoyam: Cocoyam is a root vegetable that is widely grown in Nigeria and contains carbohydrates, fiber, and some minerals. It can be boiled, mashed, and included in poultry feeds as a source of energy and fiber. Cocoyam is relatively inexpensive and can help reduce feed costs for poultry farmers.

PoliticsRe: EFCC Confronts BDC Operators In Abuja (video) by malali:
Structure the BDC. They have to be registered.

Anybody caught operating BDC without a license should be arrested and prosecuted. If you have control of the BDC, Then you can flush in Dollars to control the exchange rate. But now the basket has too many holes, Even if CBN flushes in 10 billion dollars, it wont stop the naira falling.

Currency trade is tied to national security.

They all have to be registered. Inflow and outflow should be recorded

Anyone that changes more than $10,000 cash to naira or vice versa, the authorities should be notified.And preferably the transaction should involve a bank account of either BDC or customer.

Sell bureau de change licenses, sell to one or two prominent BDC'S and let them open and run shops, so that you can regulate them.

Everybody cannot be running around as independent BDC, who knows if they also give information to kidnappers ? If you change $20000 weekly, whats stops the BDC from serving as informant to kidnappers ?

Again, the number of farmers in Nigeria don't have anything to do with food insecurity. The example you gave at least should have enlightened you that there's food insecurity chiefly because we lack the methods and agricultural capital (funds and machinery) to produce enough coupled with the prevailing security situation.

@bold last paragraph

You gave answer to the obvious problem but still went ahead to campaign for more farmers, more farmers with cutlass and hoe I guess.
There are more farmers in Nigeria than in the US but they grow so much corn in the US than in Nigeria. What does that tell you
The farmers we have in Nigeria are more than enough if given the right incentives.

Let me ignore the first line in your opening paragraph since it is obvious you're only trying to be disrespectful.

ReubenE:
There is food insecurity in Nigeria not because the number of farmers are not enough. More than 40% of the Nigerian population is into one form of agriculture or the other so I don't understand some of saying things as though you know it.

Why are you campaigning for more farmers when some of the existing ones can't go to their farms.
Less than 10% of the American population is into farming, but there is no food insecurity as life threatening as that of Nigeria that has up to 50% into agriculture, what does that tell you.

You think it is the cutlass and hoe agriculture we do in Nigeria that will create food security
Your English is hard to read. But i will try and explain to you...Food security means making sure Nigerians have enough food to purchase at affordable prices.
Food is supply and demand, the demand has not changed people are still eating like they did 2 years ago. What has changed is the supply, In USA, They grow so much corn, they feed their cows corn. In Nigeria if you buy 100 trailers of corn today, the price of corn will go up in the whole country. Thats food insecurity. If we grow so much corn that we export to 20 other African countries, alot of people will be billionaires in dollars,If we produce so much poultry and export as frozen chicken, instead of importing it from cotonou, the economy will improve.

I agree there are issues, but Nigeria is so large if more people farm the insecurity will be reduced, We need big equipment farming, tractors, huge storage facilities, silos, coop boards, commodities boards.

Have you heard the saying "There is no free lunch even in freetown."
In UK, the NHS has a long waiting list, if you need some services done you would have to wait 8 months, if you die before then, thats your problem. For the free healthcare.

In USA, if you dont have health insurance, you contribute $300/month your employer pays $300 total $600, you wont get free healthcare.
If you dont have a job, you will buy health insurance for $500/month and you pay every month wether you are sick or not.

Nigerians have a lot of misconception about everything free abroad. Dey Play.
The people that wanted free labour and came to africa to capture human beings as slave, you think they will be generous to be giving you good life for free.

BusinessRe: Naira Vs Dollar: A Picture With Deep Meaning. by malali: 9:15am On Feb 19, 2024
Do you know what you have to do to earn a 100 DOLLARS ?

Healthcare: Go to the hospital in the dollar country, ordinary headache they will charge you $350 after insurance deductions and co-pay. In Nigeria, there is no hospital that will charge you $10. Some hospital visits abroad can cost you $50000. (Giving birth with C/S, 1 or 2 days of ICU). In Nigeria you wont spend $500.

Education: Come and study in dollar economy let them give you loan with 7% percent compund interests, you will work and die without finish paying for such loans. In Nigeria people study for free and "japa" Thats essentially free human capital, No country in the world allows there manpower to JAPA free of charge.

Public Transportation: Compare the airfares and bus fares, $500 tickets is europe or america if you buy last minute, is a cheap ticket. In naija you can walk into Abuja airport and fly to Lagos last minute, with $100.

Utilities: Electricity, power and water, Have you paid water bill, heating bill $800 before ? You are comparing dollar to naira ?

Telecommunications: Even Internet costs are comparable, phones services, standalone phone servces can cost up to $120 plus taxes for a month. Do you pay that much to sub your phone in a month ?

Certain Agricultural Products: Agricultural produce are cheaper in Nigeria, than any dollar economy. A big Mango can be $3-4, Have you ever bought 1 mango for 5000naira ? Meat is cheaper in Nigeria, food stuff even with the cry is still cheaper than abroad.

Would you rather earn $5000 and have to spend $4995 for bills and living.
Or earn 100,000 naira and spend 50000 naira for bills and living ?
