It is convenient to make such excuses.

Read that article again. Once you realize that those farmers mentioned are very poor rural folks too, you might begin to change your outlook. There's always a solution if you are determined.

I agree but who will bell the cat.
who will show them that it is possible.
you can't give what you don't have.

Wow! 191 views already and no single comment, does that mean nobody on nairaland agriculture thread that are into animal husbandry farming and business..
If the viewa got to 200 and there is no single comment feom animal husbandry expert in the house l will then asume that majority are into cash crop, plantation and other type of farming.
Wonder shall never end

majority are into keyboard earning

go to village and talk to Obas.they will arrange it for you.
na 25 k per slot for my village and I'm sure rent can be negotiated.
also ministry of Agric can be? talked to to help arrange either directly (less than likely) or as brokers for villages or farmers that want to sell or lease their land

Pavore9:
Though l have a reservation regarding your absoluteness as per growing Apple in the tropics but let us focus on dairy farming. Dairy farming is thriving across Kenya and all those areas share same climatic conditions with differents parts of Nigeria. It is not because something has not been attempted means it is not possible.

l woke up this morning to a 14°C Nairobi and will be going lower in the coming days but it does not stop kolanut trees doing well here!

I'm not saying all plants are exclusive to certain habitats. just that some are unique and can/may not be economical to produce for export.

also I don't believe Kenya is rain forest region so may not have tsetse fly

The southerners that support d Tyrant. Now see ur life, anybody that goes against him will be descended upon, his got his defence now. Cowards west brought this upon demselves, I won't say US. Cos we SS/SE saw the writing on the wall. Now nobody is talking about minimum wage, Nobody is defending d sacked, Nobody is complaining about the illegal recruitments while they give up 23k job and police jobs, Nobody is talking about the northern empire buhari is building. All d activist during GEJ time, are all scared for their lives now.

We Nigerians get distracted easily with God knows what while they dastardly carry out their plans.. those southerners that were bypassed, why didn't they object or file complaints towards that? What is killing we yorubas is our Education, and Igbos is money, we allow education sanity to blind us while these notherners goes streetwise with us.. Until we Yorubas or southerners learn to help ourselves, we'l be behind d hausas.. I pray that God will see to the affairs of this country and lead our leaders right... this is why i'm an advocate for splitting, because tribalism will never allow this country to grow.. especially if we have dese hausas in Govt... God Bless Nigeria

we control all the finance posts plus the top three ministries. You think we bother about worthless positions. Na Ibo ppl you suppose ask

Innovator90:
I have never seen a tribalistic government like Buhari's government. The funny thing is he does it like its normal thing without conscience.

For the new Inspector-General of Police, Nigerians as usual are so dumb or distracted to know that Buhari bypassed 5 Deputy Inspectors-General of Police because the next in line was from the south, and went to pick someone from the North from the list of Assistant Inspector-General of Police who are under Deputy Inspector-General of Police by rank and law. Same thing happened in the Customs except a northerner outsider; military man, was brought in when the next in line was from the south. As usual, the south foolishly turned a blind eye. 90% of all custom comptroller generals since the creation of Nigeria are from the north. 100% of all EFCC chairmen since creation almost 15 yrs ago are from the north.

Someone should pls tell me anywhere in history of our democratic dispensation where an Inspector General of police was chosen from Assistant Inspector-General of Police. Same with Customs, where an outsider was brought in.

who southerner help?
And when e happen na dem go enter road go carry gun ba?

Pavore9:
About 60% of Israel is desert but produces 95% of its own food requirements and one of the world's largest exporter of food. Knowledge is the game-changer!

agreed but no amount of knowledge will allow you grow bananas in temperate region or apple in the tropics

cruzita:
that one no concern naija

and yet we wonder why our country is like this

Pavore9:
Kenya

With my engagement around Kenya, l insist that the South can do well in dairy farming.

ok if you've seen it with your eyes then i cannot argue with that.i just think that the north has natural advantage so lower cost of production

helphelp:
Hello guys,

The idea of the above topic is not only to get a "yes" or "no" response. But to also know your reasons for either answer.

As for me, I expected so much from this government, as I honestly voted them wholeheartedly.

But, at this point I must say I want to believe in this famous quote "the devil you know, is better than the angel you don't know".

My basis of regrets are quite much but can be limited to the below:

1. Low power outage 160 million people managing 5000mw for 66yrs
what do you expact ?

2. Job losses no power for 66yrs to power industry
what do you expect?

3. Increase in PMS which in turn increases transportation no refineries for 50yrs what do you expect

4. Unresponsive attitude towards fulani herdsmen attack no comment but i expect nigerians to respond like men not like cowards

Please note that, the above is my own opinion. I've heard people say "it gets worse before it gets better"...then I ask, for how long...it's a different thing when steps are glaring to make things better...
you don't put water inside basket
when some ppl suffer for looting even his untochable party members will watch their step lest they lose elections and become recipients of same treatment
And if you must know, I have really studied this government's approach towards passing policies, but I'll only discuss two of it...the subsidy removal and floating of the Naira.

The Fuel Subsidy removal

In simple terms, the present day government stretches the hardship to get PMS...unending scarcity of the commodity, forcing the populace to adhere to outrageous black market prices, get them to be used to it and then they remove subsidy and they take the messiah stand.

Remember for some, the N145/litre is like making the black market price they are used to legit, so all they want and cry for is availability of the product.


Floating our currency

We know the Buhari led government has been adamant to devalue the Naira, so businesses had to struggle, some close down over a period of 16 sad months of stubbornness.

Anyways, fast forward to Monday...just like the PMS, people are so used to N380 to a $ that they forget already that in plain terms dollar has shifted from 197 to 288 (devalue with sense)...all they focus on is the parallel market...to all, government is the messiah again to have brought up a policy that gave the Naira strength. N380 to N288 is a big deal isn't it? stop importing what you can produce you lazy person
enter farm o tooothpick factory

To be honest, I can't wait for better days. But I know it could have been better with another person at the elms of affairs. Be it KOWA or any other party

Please let's hear from you guys as well...

NB: pardon any typographical error, as I typed all these hastily to get back to work (Na lie oooo, na sleep I dey sleep so)

kowa could only win one rep seat so stop dreaming
only other option is pdp that put us in this mess we find ourself

no i do no regret voting for buhari
and would do so again until a better person volunteers to replace him
not all thes pat utomi type gramarians o,serious volunteers

who democracy epp?
strong institutions are built by strong men.they do not fall from heaven

Bassee:
OK, And how about governors who received from the forbidden yam while in PDP but have since joined the APC to evade prosecution

they have vomitted their own yam for campaign(giving back to the people)

this fayose is just a fool

Pavore9:
For those who wants to see milk production as a business, it part of their production cost.

how many ppl with capital willing to move back to rural area,while people in rural area do not have capital
i am proposing partnership between the 2
teach(entrepreneurship) farmers to become consultants(skilled labour) for cooperatives(capital) cos land(land) just de waste
personally i think south should export grass to north for cow feeding to reduce or plant grass and turn to silage for dry season

mightyokwy:
My brother is heartbreaking. Tribalism and religion is destroying this country. But wait a minute are you not part of the voters

no my brother,ignorance and laziness is our problem.
no,i have never been in a position to vote(never register where i can vote)
but i am working on that.
i intend to participate and do my part to build a better nigeria
cos all dis grammar no de solve anything

KINGwax007:
Dude still pained he was never a president.

thesicilian:
Propaganda!
Nigeria is still much worse than Buhari met it. You expect us to start clapping because "things are coming down"? Who took those things up in the first place?
Rice of 9k now 13k, fuel of N86.50 now N145, tomatoes of N20 now N200, fish of N120 now N200? Dollar up in the sky, nobody even knows the actual amount now.

Its like stealing someone's wallet and then returning it empty, and you expect the person not to punch your face but instead go on his knees thanking you.

Only people who don't sweat for their money would rejoice with you.

na we say make una no enter farm for last 66 years or even last 6years.
no more dollar for tooth pick import

blackpanda:
I decided not to quickly join the charade because of the uselessness of PDP and their attempt to introduce grazing in our communities, however, It will be unjust not to lend a voice to this full blown tyranny, this state of nature, especially when it concerns a governor who have been the leading voice of the opposition and who have been standing for what is right.


OP I read the bolded and lost all respect for you. How can a known election rigger, thief and liar be "standing for what is right". Pls nobody is buying your horse shite! Fayose shld go and pay people their salary shikena.

is he lying
did he not rig
did he not loot
can he pay salaries
if you live in a glass hous,do not throw stones

limitless777:
A lot has been said about the recent freezing of
the account of Gov. Fayose by the "almighty"
without recourse to constitutional provision.

will be unjust not to lend a voice to this full blown
tyranny, this state of nature, especially when it

Apathy in such circumstance is as good as evil.
What is interesting is not that those who think it is
cool for the judge presiding over the
"certificateless Ness" of the president to adjourn
the case sine die, are now happy with this
development, it appears that even Gov. Ayodele
Fayose does not know the exact section which
protects him.



Section 308 of the 1999 constitution prohibits any
form of prosecution of a sitting governor but
recourse to the present case by citing that section
will not be obvious to the large group of illiterate
followers of Hitler.


It will be difficult explaining
the illegality of the freezing of the account of the
Governor citing only that section. The supporters
will try to make a distinction between prosecution
and investigation. I have seen some of them
pasting the laughable excuse from Magu.


This is where the EFCC Act itself comes in and
EFCC has lawyers working there. Can they explain
to me the federal high court they sought powers
from before freezing of the account of the
Governor?


This is where section 308 now comes in handy. To
freeze an account, you have to come by way of
motion exparte to a federal high court.
Can you take Fayose to court? No
Why? S.308 prevents it.


Is it Fayose ' s fault that you decided to have
section 308? No
Those of you presently advocating for the
automatic removal of section 308 without any
formal constitutional amendments are comedians.
So we should now delete that section from our
memory simply because you want Fayose punished?



How about get the section removed first, then go
after Fayose? That way, those of us who are
aggrieved over what the president have been done
can also sue him.



It is called fairness.

to hell with fairness.
they must all sweat out our stolen yams

cktheluckyman:
Well said Melaye!! I think The eight Senate has been too soft on the dullard.I think it's high time he gets to know how powerful the Senate really is
