My cousin and I were in the said plane. The reason for the delay was untechnical, but human. The actual cause of the delay was caused by a Ghanaian teenage girl with a big backside who complained that an old man beside her took picture of her and touched her booobiez 3 times while she was sleeping.

The man got a slapped twice that everyone in the cabin heard and it turned to a big turmoil while crusing on air. Some other people started fighting which lead the pilot to reduce the cruising speed. Some people even threatened they would jump out if the pilot didn't make an emergency landing, but the pilot claimed it was not in the Standard Airbus Navigation Policy to make an emergency landing for such reason anywhere at latitude 9degree North of the equator and beyond.

So, if you read all this and thought I was making sense. You just wasted 2 minutes of your life. I just made everything up.

I beg to differ, every single thing which can boost agriculture in Nigeria today is a very high priority. I dont need to remind you that it is only agriculture and solid minerals developmnet that can save us from the present travails of low oil price. This is something that should have been done a very long time ago but it's never too late to start.

Every single time you try to insult people you do not know, first take a look at yourself in the mirror. The agriculturists involved in this are not iidiots.

If only you can use your God given brains and at least just read the freaking article, you wouldn't be here dancing ignorantly in public. Even if you couldn't read the long article, you could have at least read by short explanation but you were too intellectually handicapped to do that; you just wanted to respond before even reading.

FYI, special grass seedlings are being imported to be planted and grown in Nigeria; the imported grass isn't meant for eating, it is meant to be planted and produced in Nigeria.

BossTtdiamonds:
Nope.. They would import the grasses (highly aggressive one's) and incorporate it into the existing natural pasture (This transforms the Natural Pasture lands to what we called oversown Pasture lands)
That way the we would have less of the UN-improved varieties and more of the improved over-sown varieties. Which would last longer into the dry season.
Smart Individuals like your person who would see this as an advantage can go into Hay and Silage Making and sell the conserved grasses to the fulani's in the dry season..
When the fulani's see that stationary farming improves the milk production, beef production, profit and reduces the stress of Walking around, they'll finally settle and stop killing.. I'm not saying it is going to be an instantaneous process, but we have to start from somewhere..

And they don't refrigerate grasses... As a matter of fact, refrigerating it might kill it...

@Bolded.. I think they talked about this in @OP.. The phrase was as this "An industry that cannot be measured, cannot be controlled"..

I understand that OP was lengthy, but you wont fully understand without readin'.....
Pasture Agronomist like myself are smilin' to this incentive

Well,you've got nice features,nicer lips than Munachi's(only feature you have over Munachi),you've got cute nose(equal),nothing special about your eyes, but your face is round and prone to get chubby and fat,try to lose weight too cos you look fat to me in some pics,Munachi has big dreamy eyes(she has that over you),nice face shape(she has that over you especially on those pictures you look fat with round face),cute nose(equal),she's tall(she has that over you).
Do you live inside gutter? Your background is bad and that makes you look cheap.

One of the greatest impediments to the progress of the black man and the black race is our inability to read, our inability to discern and our inordinate urge to 'respond' even before we listen.

The article simply exposes the ignorance of all those castigating the plan to import high nutrient grass seedlings for cultivation in Nigeria. This firstly, is standard practice in agriculture all over the world, but common sense is obviously not too common especially when political sentiments are involved. I can swear on my life that 95% of the respondents above did not read beyond the 3rd line, but mostly read the title and proceeded to comment. Maybe if they read the article, they would have firstly realised it was written by an independent veterinarian and not the minister (as the title implies) and they would have also seen some sensible points.

If it takes decades of research to genetically create a new specie of high nutrient grass which has the capacity to boost beef and milk production beyond our imagination, then my common sense tells me it is definitely silly trying to re-invent the wheel; the sensible thing to do is to take the short-cut by simply obtaining those already optimised grass seedlings and growing them here in Nigeria. Just the same way we imported improved flood resistant rice seedlings some years back which has in no little way contributed to the rice revolution in different parts of Nigeria today. For clarity for those who are oblivious of this, "grass is not grass" and there is a reason why people spend several years studying agriculture in the university and research institutes even when our great grand fathers knew exactly how to sow and reap basic food crops.

A point of note in the article is milk production, Nigeria imports over 90% of the milk it consumes spending over $200m annually on this. A typical Nigerian milk cow produces 200kg of milk annually whereas a typical European milk cow produces up to 6500kg of milk annually, i.e. over 3000% more milk production. The main difference is the nutritional content of the feedstock these cows consume. Ironically, the same people who protest the plan to import improved grass seedlings (for planting) to improve our beef and milk production do not protest the billions we spend importing milk yearly; these same people (probably because of warped political logic) did not also see anything wrong when improved rice seedlings were imported few years back to help boost Nigeria's rice production capacity.

What I find most disheartening about these comments I have quoted is that most of the respondents here are youths, educated youths; and then we begin to wonder why the old have refused to relinquish power. They may claim not to be agriculturists, but that is definitely no excuse for this ignorance because anyone with even partial education should be able to discern these things. If only we can sometimes purge our minds of flimsy political sentiments, then some of these things are just common sense.

After reading your post I had to check ur profile and see when u got registered on NL....

After discovering that u only came on NL july 2015 when I already had my second app submitted so It's fully understandable that you can make such ignorant comments


I won't waste my time in giving you an explanation or try to plead to your reasoning.

Well, my kind of person won't watch and see my fellow neighbor fall in the same ditch I entered twice.

Comment from people like you can only try to stop me, but it's a pity as you're not the first...

Stop standing logic on it's head.

I was arrested by men of the FRSC for a cracked windshield violation. Did not want to pay the fine of N3,000 to the bank so i gave the arrresting officer N2,000 zoomed off. What i did was indulge in a corrupt practice - Corruption.

Wasiu my generator repairer comes to my home to service my generator, finishes his job & my wife's phone disappears, she realises on time & calls the phone as Wasiu was leaving & lo & behold Wasiu has the phone at his back pocket. What was that, - stealing.

luvinhubby:
He is correct, you are not.

Stealing is stealing & corrupt practices is corruption.

luvinhubby:
Stealing is worse than corruption.

Call a thief a thief & not a corrupt man.

Use your senses

luvinhubby:
Lame.
