IamtherealRita:
I wonder what would happen if it were in Nigeria

lazygal:
That is a super fantastic lie ...

Prestdude:
Currently running an Msc Program at UNN with 2.2

dayo2me:
what should polytechnic graduates with distinction/uppercredit do, when a university graduate with 2.2 is looking for pros and cons in his class of grade?

Joephat:
What are you saying bro?

That doing a master with 2.2 is impossible? Did you make inquiry before you vomit that rubbish assertion?

Op, no pros and cons, currently, if you don't have connection, there are no jobs for 1st class, upperclass and lower... So, you can get a teaching job while you continue with your Masters. Many Federal universities accept 2.2 for masters.. Don't allow all these nairalanders to discourage you,

What you need is connection

Let me assume you don't know Rotimi Ameachi is the honourable minister of transportation,and that you don't also know what that portfolio means.As far as the government of Nigeria is concerned sir,Rotimi Ameachi have more influence and a say than Dave Umahi. You my friend,is the one suffering from this disease called Hatred.

TonyeBarcanista:
This picture once again showed that power and status are never permanent.

Who will ever believe that a time will come when Rotimi Amaechi, who was Speaker of House of Assembly when Yemi Osinbajo was "mere" Commissioner and Dave Umahi was nowhere to be found (he was a mere state chairman of PDP), will be standing while those two are seated?

Who would ever believe that some day Rotimi Amaechi, a Governor for 8 years and Chairman of Governors Forum (2011-2015) will stand while Yemi Osinbajo that was out of his "mere" Commissioner office in 2007 will be seated and Umahi that miraculously became Deputy Governor in 2011 (when Amaechi was his senior) will sit while Amaechi stand?

Power and status are never permanent!

LUGBE:
Politics, only northern states

Buhari is up to something soon, he want to empower them thus this cooked story, he want to soil his ground for 2019.

How come is it only the northern states that claimed to be feeding the whole nation.

This people don't know we are wise, we are watching

So here we go again, as a way of introduction:

Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) is one of the most important economic oil crops in Nigeria. According to World Rain-forest Movement, oil palm is indigenous to the Nigerian coastal plain though it has migrated inland as a staple crop. Cultivation of oil palm serves as a means of livelihood for many rural families and indeed the farming culture of millions of people in the country. The reference to oil palm as a crop of multiple value underscores its economic importance. Oil palm is made of essential components, namely; the fronds, the leaves, the trunk and the roots which are used for several purposes ranging from palm oil, palm kernel oil, palm wine, broom, and palm kernel cake.
As of early 1900, Nigeria was producing all palm oil sold in the world market and it was considered a dominant source of foreign exchange. Up until the 1960s, Nigeria was the world‟s largest producer of palm oil accounting for 43% of global palm oil production. Over-reliance on traditional production methods, excessive tapping of palm trees for palm wine and the civil war between 1967-1970, are factors that contributed to Nigeria‟s inability to meet up with the global rise in demand for palm oil. The Nigerian oil palm belt covers twenty-four states, including all nine states of the Niger Delta (Akwa Ibom, Abia, Rivers, Edo, Imo, Ondo, Bayelsa, Cross River and Delta). Within the oil palm belt in Nigeria, 80% of production comes from dispersed smallholders who harvest semi-wild plants and use manual processing techniques. Several million smallholders are spread over an estimated area ranging from 1.65 million hectares to 2.4 million hectares and to a maximum of 3 million hectares. The estimate for oil palm plantations in Nigeria ranges from 169,000 hectares (72,000 ha of estate plantations and 97,000 ha of smallholder plantations) to 360,000 hectares of plantations. Many of these plantations mentioned above are the result of past attempts by the Nigerian government to establish large scale plantations, most of which resulted in complete failures. Examples of such failed efforts are the Cross River State project in 60's and of the European Union-funded "Oil palm Belt Rural Development Programme" in the 90's. This effort included the ambitious plantation of 6,750 hectares of oil palm within an area thought to be one of the largest remnants of tropical rainforest in Nigeria under the management of Risonpalm Ltd, partly owned by the government. The plantation was abandoned in 1999 and reactivated in 2003. In 2010, the government announced its intention to divest, citing the decision to privatize: “we will not put money into Risonpalm again” and that “We will only bring people who will put in their money and manage Risonpalm very well”. Management of government‟s oil palm plantations has so far proven disastrous. The Governor of Rivers State paints the gory picture of management that has characterized government owned oil palm estates recently thus: “Government has put so much money in Risonpalm and so many people became rich out of Risonpalm by stealing the money. Now we will not put money again so that people won‟t steal our money anymore.”

Products
While many products emanate from the oil palm trees – palm oils, palm wine, wood by-products, the focus of this thread classes is on the oil products and their direct by-products. Three dominant products are Technical Palm Oil (TPO), Special Palm Oil (SPO), and Palm Kernel Oil (PKO), with palm kernel cake and sludge as significant by-products that can be put into the feed industry. There are 17 characteristics which are used to define and grade palm oil in order for it to be internationally traded. Dominant among them are the levels of free fatty acid (FFA), followed by dirt, iodine value, and other contaminants. The minimum requirement for SPO is an FFA of less than 5%, which can be consumed or used in products such as creams or further refined for soaps and bleaches. Oil which does not meet the quality grades of those characteristics is qualified as TPO, with an FFA>5%, and is mainly used for food consumption. In Nigeria, there has been limited transformation and uses of the primary or secondary products oil palm for either food or non food applications. In developed economies, however, palm oil is used in the manufacturing of many foodstuffs including many industrial applications as can be seen in below:
Food uses: Cooking Oil Deep Frying Oils Margarines and spreads Bakery fats Cocoa butter alternative fats Confectionary fats Ice cream fats Infants nutrition fats Other food applications .

Non food uses:
Cosmetics and personal care Soaps Candles Pharmaceuticals Lubrications and Grease Surfactants Industrial Chemicals Agrochemicals Coatings Paints and lacquers Electronics Leather Biodiesel.
In Nigeria, there is a market for mainly 3 major oil palm products in Nigeria: (1) Low quality TPO palm oil for traditional use for direct sale as unprocessed oil. (2) High quality SPO for use in the processed food industry and produced by large mills and often refined. (3) Palm Kernel Oil which has been growing in demand over the years for the industrial market.By tomorrow, we shall be dealing extensively on this three types and how they are produced. Do have a lovely day ahead as I expect your questions and comments.
