fletcherA:
my brother, do your investigation more about this drug. there is more to what the health minister is telling you

When I investigate cases like these, my first approach is to be on the side of caution by looking for a rebuttal or critique. This is one of my findings

Good lord! So they are the ones to call him. This is the dumbest thing I've read this month.

Dats bcuz u r dumb. In Asia or America, do u think wen something as sensational as this comes up dar they won't send a team to d person. U r as dumb as Bleep

Asia and America?

fletcherA:
The minister is a liar. if the minister continues with his position. I can expose him. Too bad we have such persons in power. so much for fighting corruption. buhari and his ministers.. this is so upsetting that he can deliberately lie

Prof had a meeting with Prof Chukwu, the former minister. what is he talking about. is he not aware of that meeting. Under former minister for health, Prof practically begged them to use the drugs on ebola patients and they refused.

I smell envy. There is no hope for this country. This drug has been tested on patients in more than one teaching hospital in nigeria.

They want to cover it up because of envy

Bros,

Are you nuts? How can the Prof. "practically" beg a Minister of Health to use an uncertified drug to treat a disease? Where is that ever done?

....and pls when you want to lie, make sure you're talking to retards and not sane people. Is Teaching hospital an avenue of "testing" drugs on patients?

AgamaHub: :
Can't understand why some of you here just love to hate. This discovery had been made some years back by this Prof, he has been trying to get the attention of the appropriate body like forever. Any persons in the ministry of health claiming not to be aware of the claim is a blatant liar. It's just that we live in a country where things don't work and we don't love to see people grow if its not directly involved with us.

trust me, this man is a professor of a federal university, he should know the rules and process of announcing such discovery. If his claims are true, it won't be hidden. The ministry of health will be glad to announce it. They will commission research in tandem with major pharmaceutical companies to develop the product. The minister of health (regardless of what tribe he hails from) would do everything to make the discovery and the subsequent development count as part of his tenure's achievements.

HELL !!!!THE UNIVERSITY AUTHORITIES WILL DO EVERYTHING WITHIN THEIR POWER WITH THEIR FEDERAL MIGHT TO ENSURE THAT THIS NEWS GAINS THE RIGHT AUDIENCE.!!!!! After all, the prof is one of theirs.

Conclusion: either the professor is lying, or his research has a lot of loopholes (I.E could not be verified extensively), or he is simply stupid.

NB. I am igbo so I am not hating. Moreover that school is presently my almamater. I am running a PhD program there.

In addition, If he's sure of his discovery, why doesn't he send his papers to international conferences and Research publications. He will be picked up by will co-researchers and research foundations. A young lady in the US got her PhD with her discovery of using microwave signals to kill cancer cells. Her discovery was successful in Lab-rats. Now she's going through the process and about to raise $35m to finance human trials.

There are standards and laid down procedures.

obamd:
If he claims to have found the cure, the institute of medical research will test and run many clinical trials before making pronouncements.

We're not saying he hasn't found the cure but there are laid down rules on how these things are done.

In other climes, scientists don't even mention anything about their discoveries until they've completed clinical trials.

Here we run straight to the media once we turn water to wine.

Bros,

Don't sweat it. Let the illiterates have their say

cosmatika:
Afonja minister. If the Prof go abroad with it nw & it works, they'll say he's not patriotic. Instead of u to support him, u re denying it

I was looking forward to see this line of thought from an "educated-illiterate". You did not disappoint me

If you are amongst the manufacturers who collect cheap forex from the CBN yet double prices, get ready to be whipped!!
If you are one of the BDC operators who collect cheap forex from CBN auction then take it to the black market, DSS will give you a new address.
90% of the suffering of the masses was designed and executed by the masses.

and that is one of the thing the Task force should highlight. Besides as lucrative as the food export business is, we many need to put a ring-fence around volumes of export relative to local demand. For example how do we export so much volume of garri overseas when we're yet to get enough at home?

Billyonaire:
You are highly unlettered and toxically ignorant. The fact that you are in-exposed to global dynamics makes you a local champion. In climes where human cerebral mechanics are efficient, you would have understood my underlined statement, but then it is not for a locally trained nematode to understand, so allow others with a reasoning faculty to ponder and come to conclusion.

I submit that you have never in your useless life underscored the importance of lending to Agro and allied industries and such industrial complexes as a panacea for killing hunger worldwide. The reason some of you are very poor even with academic degrees in lack of specialized knowledge.

How can a Professor, a SAN and a Vice President, discuss about moving markets closer to farmers as a panacea to poor distribution of agro-products ? Does that even make sense ? In other climes, specialized rail coaches are designed as a means of transportation of food from one state to another without the need to move produce in lorries and motorcycles, yet a daft fellow like you that has never invested money in any industry have the effrontery to support an ignorant politician.

There is more to scarcity of food that movement of food. Ask the crazy Federal Government to provide Access to Funding and set up Grants for young graduates and make it enticing for youths to embrace agriculture instead of politics and other ills. This crazy govt has not learnt anything about the Nigerian spirit. Look at the music industry, look at the movies industries and look at religion as industry. People are enticed into those fields because there is promise of monetary gains. replicate that in the agro-sector and watch the sector grow.

You are as pathetic as any nematode can be, except that your mentality is 14% of that of a tadpole.

1. Clap for yourself for the concoction of these needless jargons
2. That you do not understand the context and rationale of "moving markets closer to farms" is to say the least, show how you are bereft of logical reasoning, not to talk of creative one. That you cannot draw a nexus between your submission of

specialized rail coaches are designed as a means of transportation of food from one state to another without the need to move produce in lorries and motorcycles

as one of the concepts of "moving the market closer to farms" show your limited education is an utter waste. If you had bothered to read up my earlier submission, I posited a combination of rail coaches, and yes the advanced countries you mentioned also do move agric produce by trucks and barges.
3. Ask the government to provide access to funding you say? What has BOI been doing? What is the intent of the forth coming Bank of Agriculture? What is the essence of the CBN's N75B Agric loan to states and other loans to farmers? Has it made the problem vanish in a jiffy?
4. Comparing the Music and "Religion" Industry to Agric business show how lame you are. First off, tell me what has government, current and past done to organise the music industry? and What da fvck is "religion" industry if I may ask? You are making reference to a creation that is fostered by our lack of industrialisation as reference? Boy you're so daft. How can you compare a Music industry that self-evolved to an industry that require a lot of structures and nurturing.
5. Grants for young graduates? You cannot be serious. That you don't know squat about Agri-business is glaring, and that you are bereft of logical reasoning is quite apparent. I thought GEJ's YouWin scheme gave grants to young graduates? How has it significantly impact on Agri-business in the country today?

Billyonaire:
Your reasoning is that of a typical Nigerian who has never crossed the border, who watches nta and african magic and read nairaland posts only. If you have ever reasoned outside your comfort of ignorance, you would have known that farmers are business people who do business for profit, and it is their profits and access to credit facilities that is used to construct silo, set up laboratory to engineer crop yields and build green houses for controlled germination and cultivation of vegetables A so called professor is still projects the image of subsistent farming in his head.

Una wan move market enter farm cos of cost of transportation, but you forget that the traders will pay extra fares to reach the remote location and must mark up their profits.

Only stupid people supprts stupid politicians.

Farmers are business people? Oh! Like I don't know That you are unintelligent is not in doubt, but that you are "patently" ignorant is befuddling. WTF is the rubbish you put up ther (underlined)? You will do yourself a world of good, if you actually take time to study rather than rush to google and read amiss.

1. How do you expect the farmer to "pay" for all facets of the value-chain. Even in the Oil and Gas industry (arguably the highest marging business) a single IOC cannot pay for all the facets of the value-chain
2. Within the examples you mentioned, you have government/private sector partnerships. Even GEJ's Agric minister invested in Silos, not to talk of ObJ and YarAdua.
3. So if traders must enter remote location.....and must mark up, you can not reason that if you turn the tide around, build collection points closer to the traders and move bulk, you can achieve net-reduction (economics of scale)? Or you do not know that a simple provision haulage to co-operative farmers on a rent-to-own scheme will near eliminate unnecessary transportation costs and increase volumes?

Bros, your reasoning deficit is just top-notch

EkoErrands:
My brother please don't commit murder... Let's give Nigeria just 1 small task of providing electricity for all her citizens... In 30 years time o! Not immediately. If she can, then we can start considering all those white elephant suggestions your took your time to paint up there.

Makes no sense. Providing electricity for all her citizens cannot stand exclusively from addressing food security requirements.

felicitywe:
U r even d clueless&ethnic filled person.Ur analysis lacks depth only protecting Osibanjo's weakness.High inflation,forex issues&petrol increase r d problems but u r busy campaigning about Osibanjo.see hw little u r in mind.

My analysis lacks depth? Okokobioko!!!

Ok Let's look at your "meaningless" submission here. so if

High inflation,forex issues&petrol

increase the problem, what should they do by your take? Arbitrarily fix inflation index? Or is it not the intervention that will stem the tide of inflation? or how do you want them to address "Forex Issue" if our local produce don't get to the end consumer at competitive price or How will they address "petrol" if we as subject to the increasing crude price in the international market.

If I am campaigning for Osinbajo, at least I am doing something decent in it - I am coming up with analysis of my position. Can you do same?

SweetBoyFriend:

I see where we went wrong

When my parents were young, they would go farming when it rains

Fast forward to this generation, whenever the weather changes or it looks like it would rain these silly and useless girl would start shouting "This weather is the perfect weather for two"

Permission to use this on tweeter?

AZeD1:
The only way to force food prices down, the to produce more.
Simple case of demand and supply.

We actually produce more than gets to market according to available data.

OYAY:
We are such a pessimist in this country,the personalities in that committee should explained it all that it is going to be an holistic approach in the sense that those that are germane to policy formulation are part of the committee hence deciphering the cause and solution will be easy;it would have been a different ball game if the members were security agents or a third party. I hope they will come up with something tangible that will touch all sectors that culminated to the situation we are.

I think the president should give more opportunity to the VP to act,we can see semblance of proactiveness in governance in the last two weeks.

I don't think is pessimism, rather I think is laziness on the part of many of us folks to reason deeply. In 1986 when IBB govt introduced the Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) as put together by Chief Olu Falaye, aside from IBB "whacking" the proceeds when the programme stated yeilding fruits, some smart people that saw through the whole initiative were quick to take advantage. The further liberalisation of that market enabled boys of age 28-30 of that time to become bank owners, while some sat down to wail.

Private organisation have at many times done process re-engineering to achieve cost reduction and business efficiency. Govt wants to do same, yet people cannot see this, but to come with lame reactions like "fuel prices". Guess what, only few people will assess WIIFM, get up and take the initiative. Tomorrow, if govt now announces that they are in partnership with Dangote to buy 200,000 trucks for moving agric produce to market......they will now be shouting "Dangote is taking over everything"

EkoErrands:
Y'all want food prices to come down? Really? With fuel at N145? Really? The truth about fuel price hike is that it takes a very long time to cause prices in food items to rise... And when they eventually rise months later, no fact finder will remember that someone doubled the price of petrol overnight. Mr Acting presido... Your dogs are on a wild goose chase... For 7 days that is...

*Modified*
Wait o! I read somewhere Senate wants to add N5 to fuel for road construction... Which type of road exactly? Is it the original road like mobolaji bank Anthony that was properly done or the type on Allen avenue that is resurfaced every 2 years?

Which spec of road are they planning to do with the N5...
Thank God my mama is not a trader... this gov will soon start flogging market women to lower prices... WAS (Watch And See)

Yes food prices can come down with N145 fuel price. The fuel price is a function of the international market price and we're no longer subsidising it. Secondly, if we can increase the volume of food stuffs that actually get to market, simple economics of scale says prices will come down. This is what govt will probably look into. My tots are these

1. Can Govt build a mega storage - Cold rooms and collect all uncommitted poultry products from our local farmers. They have through CBN and BOA invested N23b in them anyways, and this will help enhance their investment. If farmers see a line of sight to off-take, they can increase their production capacity

2. Can the Silos project be accelerated, so that we target a period of doubling planting and harvesting. While we increase volumes of food to market, we also increase food reserves

3. Can govt invest in specialized haulage vehicles. These are giant trailers, almost twice the size of the a typical trailer. These haulage trucks will have but only one business - move goods to market around the year. Govt will then commit to bear this cost for a stipulated number of years. This cost will also be offset from the margins they saved by redesigning the process and taking out some unneeded middle men. If a major cost head (Transportation) is taken off, and volume + time to market is increased, food prices will definitely come down

4. Can Govt stimulate an upsurge of home-based end-producers and processors? For example, govt can buy lots of food processing machines and sell to interested citizens on a rent-to-own schemes. These citizens can use these machines in their homes. For example, Cassava processors to garri, bagging machines for rice, beans, millets etc. Imagine if we have 1 million people per state to do this on a part-time basis, how this will impact the market.

My take is, if we truly re-look the process and make some creative changes, prices will go down

eazyjakes:
I don't understand....is it a presidential task force dat will impact the cost of food items or the right governmental policies to create an enabling environment for various investors to thrive?.....dis govt is jst sth else!

"Policies" on its own is useless without a review of the process and procedures to deliver results. If the value-chain is defective, 50 policies will not do squat. For example, if there are middle-men making monstrous margins and causing uncomfortable price escalation and telling on the end consumers, then it makes sense for an intervention to "re-set" the process. Free market forces does not always translate an equilbrium, a so-called "enabling environment" will not automatically translate into cheap prices if govt don't constantly look at the value-chains and maintain "sanity".

Billyonaire:
Osibanjo has also lost his God-given mind.

Mr. Professor, it is called Cost of Transportation. It has to do with price of petrol. And it has to do with How Much a poor farmer needs in return so she can cook a pot of soup and eat too. A farmer will not sell his/her produce for 10 naira when 10 naira can not buy kerosene to cook her soup.

Are these people finally brain dead ?


The prices of goods was stable, then one certain Cow herder increased price of petrol, gamble with fx differentials, fleece people accounts and the panic created made the billionaires to move their funds, changed them to dollars and launder them to safe heavens. NoW what we have here is a mess.

Your Buhari went out there and say Nigerians are all corrupt, now that investors are pulling out and businesses firing, you turn around and keep your face like person wey no sleep for 4 weeks. May be if these our Presidency people start smoking sk, they will reason better.

What we expect from this Government is 100% Resignation. No more! Nigerians need some "respek" to their names.

Apart from your ridiculous hate-filled and baseless submissions, you have commented unintelligently. In fact you seemly dabble into an area you have no clue, despite the facts staring you in the face. The pointers are there in the report

1. What Osinbajo's directive simply means is for the task force to look at the value chain and address deficits that can either reduce the cost-to-market or increase the volume of goods in the market. For instance a farmer may not need to travel more than 5km to sell his goods. There can be an "aggregator" (govt. can intervene here till a private company with sufficient funds comes up) who buys all the farm produce from the farmer even at a higher price than what the "sharks" of middle men offer.
2. There is still no organised arrangements for storage. Less than 50% of the tomatoes planted in Nigeria make it to markets. Many of them are spoilt before the farmers can sell them. Imagine a scenario if there is already a bulk buy with collecting points close to the farms. The farmers needs not bother about storage. He only needs to inform the bulk-buyer/aggregator of his harvest date and they collect everthing on the said date.
3. Transportation problems is why govt may need to invest in more cargo coaches and in-land cargo ships to bring good down south. Private sector are yet to see the incentives so they are not doing it at the moment. Government needs to stimulate that. If for example cows can be transported to market in 15-18hrs rather than 4-5days (not to talk of the heards men probably average 3-6months), imagine what is shaved off transportation costs......

These are what Osinbajo's task-force are directed to review......

First of all its fake


Secondly where are the fvckers claiming they have become vigilante?


I said it's fake because there's a crisis in that region the topic made Fp , the crisis is land dispute and they fought with machetes and guns

I also predicted that soon someone would upload pictures and blame it on Fulani


Looks like that's what happened today

I had earlier challenged people on NL to substantiate all these fake pictures they post with credible evidence. This is how we allow people with their own agenda to mislead and deceive us with fake news. I do not trust any content from people's facebook posts except it is authenticated by any of the major media outlet (except Vangaurd).

2. Sequel to the recommendation of security experts, the Rivers State Government bought the two Bell 412 security surveillance helicopters during the administration of Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, in collaboration with the federal government through the office of the National Security Adviser (NSA). The federal government then was very impressed with the Amaechi administration’s security plan to curb criminality in the State and supported the plan all the way. To show their support, the Federal government through the office of the NSA contributed $15M (Fifteen Million Dollars), about half of the total sum, towards the purchase of the helicopters. Also, the then former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration granted waivers to the Rivers State government to purchase and import the helicopters.



Look at the above statements very well. Federal Government contributed 15 million dollars (about 7.5 billon nairas) to the two choppers and still APC led FG came out to say that the choppers belong to unknown persons

The Customs is not the APC led Govt. The customs makes pronunciation like these in context. All shipment remain unknown until you produce the necessary documents to reconcile and validate, to facilitate the clearance. The customs do not rely on newspaper publications as clearing documents

First off, it is the irresponsibility of GEJ's government that has led to the embarrassment on the Choppers. Worse case scenario, the then FG should have allowed the choppers be cleared and released in holding to the Airforce (in 2013) pending settling political differences.

Secondly, there it is not in doubt that Amaechi is blameless to me here. When the going was good, GEJ supported the acquisition. When the going got bad, GEJ became punitive. Just like OBJ did to Tinubu, witholding LSG local govt money for 2yrs. This is a glaring case of Irresponsible Leadership.

Just like Akainzo said up there, the choppers stood forfeited since the demurage period elapsed.

Abeg how will this create direct employment for our youths?Chinese are commonly known to bring their convicts to nigeria to come work on construction sites for the contracts they secure..am sure since they are providing the bulk of the loan this will be one the condtions.take or leave it

It could be agreed in the contract that a guarantee to cede a quantum of the aspects of the contract to Nigerians. Like was done in the Mile12-Ikorodu roundabout contract where for example the welding jobs was ceded to our local welders who the Chinese trained for 3months

jomoh:
The two of you have a very wrong information.



Lagos-Badagry express way is not a state project but a federal one embarked upon by the state under Fashola because I thought the state has more to gain from it in the short run than the FG....



....but it was the FG under gej that asked him to stop work claiming it is a federal project that they will complete it themselves. Obviously they never lay a finger on it since they stopped Fashola's APC govt from continuing and completing it.

So apc didn't abandon the project gej and pdp did.

Bros,

You have so muddle up things

1. The project is entirely Lagos State's
2. GEJ's FG stalled the project by refusing to give guarantee to the second tranch of the World bank loan to execute the project
3. PMB's FG gave the guarantee, thus Ambode accessed the loan and has continued

And who certified them as fake? Show me the fake stories. I don't know what is wrong with some of you people, what is difficult about fulanis attacking and killing a defenseless man in the bush that you find hard to believe?

I find it hard to believe because the OP said

I don't know how true is this story

The rule of thumb is that if you cannot verify the source, then don't make reference to it. We have seen cases where people lift pictures of genocide in Rwanda and put it on social media as Southern Kaduna. If that is not the height of irresponsibility to you, then I don't know what else is.

Truth is Dele was probably at his peak 10yrs ago. A reporter showed Sir Taiwo Ogunjobi the proof that Dele was born in 1978 and that he was way older that was reported. Chief Ogunjobi only looked into the reporter's eyes and told him point-blank that he would not remove Dele. So while Dele receeded, Dagea who was sincere in his formative age grew
