Folks in the South west should be smart enough to grow veggies and spices such cabbage, lettuce, coriander, parsley, cucumber, mint, celery etc for the huge Lagos market which share the same population size of Cameroon rather than the stereotyped thought it has to be grown in the North, haulage through the south western states before they end up on the tables of Lagosians! All these crops are harvested between 45 to 90 days

The day Ogun State and Oyo State would wake up to the massive potential of dairy farming, is when they would realize they have wasted their time waiting on monthly allocation from Abuja. Diary farming is not a Northern preserve, it can be practised across Nigeria adopting zero grazing. A litre of pasteurized milk bought at the dispensing machine sells between N120-N140 across Kenya because diary farming is no longer a big deal as one can get a litre of raw milk for N60. These States should train their people on diary farming, so that we can have thousands of small holder farmers who should be producing an average of 250 litres daily that would be centrally collected, processed and sold to their local markets and transported in tankers to Lagos to meet the demands of the millions there! It is no rocket science as it is a common sight seeing tankers of milk on Kenya highways!

you've forgotten about tse tse fly abi

wayodude:
Smart chic. If only safety and power wasn't an issue we would have had a stampede of foreign investors scrambling for involvement in our land of milk and honey.

My business plan is guarded. I'll be there...when the time is right for me lol

no power no safety yet shell no comot, dstv and mtn and shoprite enter nigeria the more

Pamelayoung:
B4 you crucify me nigerians are hypocrite cos it's a white woman it has become news worthy. Aren't there local farmers doing same? Some even needs to be aided on how to store these produce yet theirs voices are not being heard, others who can't afford to buy large hectares are not encouraged now a white woman shows up and they gladly sell or even gave her their lands 4 free mtcheeeeew! U knw wat am talking about stop pretending

who encouraged you to get good marks in school.why you no drop out as nobody go take exam for you.
she sourced for funds.
she did not sit down and lament.
she used her education to raise funds.
what are you using your education for?

hopeforcharles:
Agriculture esp farming and cultivation require person management and observation, its not wise you leave it in the hands of someone else or one should be ready for lostes, i am actively into it but on a buy bulk from farmers and ware house it

abeg chairman we fit talk about this warehousing biz

obailala:
Nope, I am not clapping but I am scolding. Yes we have lots of Nigerians doing what the lady is doing but we can do much better. We need millions more doing the same thing for Nigeria to break away from the shackles of poverty and 3rd world status.

Now you ask why it is news because a white lady is doing it?... Answer is simple, it is news because it a white lady doing it. If we have a white man today in Benin as a commercial okada man, it will definitely be news too; that is not to say we do not have over 10 million Nigerian okada men.

By the way, with your first sentence, are you by any means justifying why many more Nigerians aren't or shouldn't go into farming?

we actually need less people "doing" anything.
but we can teach farmers to register as cooperatives,partnerships,private or public limited companies and sell shares to raise capital

obailala:
My point is simple, are there not at least over 10,000 Nigerians with far more than that amount sitting in their bank accounts?... What about the big private businesses, state governments, private corporations, LGs, past and present political leaders etc, are we saying all Nigerians are poor an we can't get people who can raise a mere $300k to replicate what the woman is doing and thereby create more jobs for other Nigerians (who cant afford to raise that amount)?

rich nigerians are already rich.
they do not need the investment.
they do not want the investment.
poor nigerians need it.
they do not want it.
nobody wants to farm.
rich people do not need to help poor people
they do not want to help poor ppl
so there you have it
we are a complacent ,content and lazy ppl
comfortable in our local shampionism
until we need to make money,(need not want) we will continue misbehaving
but don't worry we are almost there
we will soon start investing as little as 3000 naira in any and everything
at least the next 1% will anyway
BTW why you no do am if e easy

Dudeweedlmao:
But why are this folks always using our money to enrich other countries
Like Don't we deserve it or whAt

are you prepared to fight,to kill,to die for your own share ?
if not then no you do not,
you only deserve the cups of rice and slave bank jobs they give you.

obailala:
Can someone please tell me why more Nigerians can't do this?.. Oh i forgot, we're all waiting for oil money from ND. And even when the ND oil money isn't forthcoming, we all have Buhari to blame.

its easy to farm when you have access to $300,000 investment seed capital

When corruption starts fighting back . Saraki and his lazy thieving cohorts should be ashamed for trying to bend and blend the rule of law selfishly to their own taste and favour so as to shade them from being probed on their nefarious and dubious activities while in the helm of power .
Just imagine if immunity covers all these unqualified leaders branding themselves as Law makers ? Ain't this a plot to fraudulently twist the law ? . .
I can vehemently assure you guys that our amiable President will never sign such notorious proposed bill into a Law . . They can keep dreaming .

Sabuta:
Hello family. I write this memo to seek your opinion about a pressing family issue am confronted with. My story is a very long one but I wil try and make as brief as possible.

I was dating this beautiful lady and all was going well until the issue of marriage popped up. I really loved her and I believe she loves me too. We are both working in thesame city and stay independent of our parents who are in the village. I introduced her to my family and there was little or no resistance from my dad and brothers. Unfortunately, my momsy and her sisters reject and forbid me to marry her. I ask her why and she came up with lazy excuses- the lady's background, family, and all that. I understand that my mum really wants to hand pick a wife for me- but I vehemently refused. I kept pushing for it- going after my heart and praying about it. Of all the excuses my mum gave me, non was personality related. This lady's personality is hard to come by. So I decided to go ahead with the wedding. A few weeks to the wedding the lady took in for me and I informed my parents. We are both cool with that as I counted it a blessing. I was already counting months to been a father.

On the wedding day my mum refused to turn up for the wedding. Now I know it sounds crazy but that what actually happened. Anyways, it was a success and we were pronounced husband and wife.

We started our little home praying for each other and for peace with my mother. Everyday my wife cries out to God to soften the heart of my mother and we kept seeking for forgiveness. She reminds me to call my parents and encourage me to remember my siblings after collecting every paycheck. She was always in touch with my dad and even sends my siblings little token after she collects her salary. I cannot express how much she loved my family and really wanted peace with everybody. She has committed more effort to integrate into my family than I have myself. In everything she does, she puts my siblings first before hers. They say women are selfish- but my woman is selfless.

After nine months, it is time to become a father. We went shopping, bought all the necessary things required to welcome our little angel. Our hearts were filled with joy despite all the hate from my mother. Thank God we are living very far from my mother. So it was kinda easy to manage her hatred towards my wife. But just when I was assuming how easy it was to manage her, trouble began.

A few days to My wife's EDD, she noticed slow movement of the baby in her womb, went to the hospital and doctors advised a CS. Baby's activity was fast decreasing and doctors evacuated the baby. Baby was born- and I was a father. Sadly doctors said the baby had an uncommon disease (name withheld) and would require a surgery. Surgery was done and baby pulled through. All the while we were praying as the disciples did on Pentecost day. We got many pastors involved and all that. Regretfully, baby couldn't survive this wicked world and she gave up after few weeks.

Now it was grieving time. I called my mom to tell her of the demise of my baby but guess what- she laughed over it and said 'this is just the beginning'. Thank God for my in laws, they were there every step of the way- may God bless and prosper them, Amen. I didn't receive any sympathy from my sister either, only my dad and brothers. Life goes on.

I thank God because I was able to be a man and stand by my wife. God gave me the grace to be there for her against all odds. Financially, I bless God. At my age I am able to do a lot of things my peers couldn't . The last time I received any financial help from anybody in my life was in 2010. Since then, God has always prepared a table for me before my enemies. Baba God noni.

Now God has a way of revealing things to the holy. My wife is more religious than me. I am more of an evidence based reasoning person than faith and all. However I always believe in doing good to people. That could possibly be the reason why my plate is always full with manna.

So my wife woke me up one night and told me of how God has been making revelations to her. She has kept this in her heart for so long because she doesn't want anything that will cause any further damage to the peace we are trying to achieve. But it was too much for her to bear- she told me of a dream she had. She saw my mum carrying our wedding photo to a witch doctor. Yes that sounds crazy, right? But you know what? It sounds crazier to me at first. Like I earlier said am more of evidence based person, so I started looking for evidence. Thank God to my Frnd working in telecom industry (name withheld). I started looking for my mum call records since my wedding. My Frnd at first told me of how sensitive it is to release such records- it has has cost people their career. Long and short of it- I was able to listen to her call records.

They say wonders shall never end. I have heard of stories of parents halting their children successes and vice versa ( thanks to nollywood). I never knew that I would be the next victim. I tried not to believe it but the more I try the more I am in touch with reality. To cut the long story short, my mum has connived with her sister to travel to the east to consult a witch doctor with our wedding photo. Nollywood movie, right? May you never experience this in Jesus name.

Now let me take a flash back to my childhood days- my mom loved all her children a lot. She's a disciplinarian and she tried in raising us the best way she could. Several times when I was a kid, she selects my friends for me, regulates my movement etc. Even in my university days she scrutinizes my friends. But one thing she tried to develop in me was how to hate her 'perceived' enemies. Whenever she has a problem with any woman or family in the estate, she doesn't allow us to play with the children of such. She will stop us from talking to kids in that house and would paint that family black. But the stubbornness in me wouldn't let me follow her directives on this one. She want us to have common friends and enemies. Worst case scenario is I collect koboko.

A brief background of her sister: Her sister has similar character with my mom, very possessive and always exercising control over other people's affairs. About 15 years ago, I remember her visiting a witch doctor to help her solve some family issues. When our going was good, she once boasted to me saying 'the death of my mother in law was the saving grace of my marriage'.

It's been more than 6 months since I spoke to my mom. Crazy, right? Pls don't crucify me yet- this world is a wicked place. I and my wife decided to pray and fast about the dream she had. Coupled with the evidence of call records, I informed my dad of the malicious attack on my daughter and how she died. He encouraged me to pray and he equally joined me in fasting. #heartOfaFather. As I type this story on my phone, my wife and I have not broken our fast.

Recently, my mum sent me a message threatening that my wife will never give birth. In her words 'over my dead body will your harlot bear children'. Yes! She said that. Still doubting? Ride on...

Of recent, my wife started complaining of stomach issues- lower abdominal pains. She had several scans that revealed a growing ovarian cyst. It is growing at an alarming rate. Doctors said if it doesn't stop growing then she will need a surgery. In the last 3 weeks she has had four scans.

Two days ago she cried out to me 'baby my only mistake in this life is being your wife- I haven't done anything wrong to anybody. I was living a happy and fulfilled life before I met you. I have parents and family who love me. Why does your mother wants to take away my life? Am counting days to leave this wicked world. I have had enough of its wickedness.'

I consoled her, prayed over her and gave her hope. I told her these times are hard but we shall overcome. I immediately called my dad and request him to warn my mum from hurting my wife otherwise I will take unpleasant action.

Today I am to take a decision of what to do to save my ailing wife from dying. I want to save her without hurting anybody but if need be for me to hurt someone, I will.

Comments strictly for matured minds pls.

I don't think that woman is your mother. Personally I will give her 7 days to cease fire then I show her sample of what I'm capable of. Then she has precisely 24 hrs to stay her lane or I will put her there permanently

Chigold101:
what is nice about this news now?

Acidosis:
These are mere hooligans, street urchins and homeless vagabonds from Bello's hometown.


Who in his right senses would love the pain Bello is unleashing on our parents back home? My dad is a pensioner and he hasn't been paid a dime since January.


If Governor Bello is so unfortunate to have a responsible FATHER, he should at least be sensible enough to respect his elders. My mom has been practically subjected to undue and useless ineffectual screenings amidst unpaid salaries and allowances. Its now screening on a weekly basis without pay!

Whoever applauds Governor Bello over this wickedness will never know PEACE.

I simply laughed when these ediots came up with nonsensical birthday photos. I mean who does that?! Why should you be throwing big parties in the midst of hardship with 4 wives?

Two of of dad's tenants (civil servant) have been unable to pay house rent since the past 1 year. As a matter of fact, my dad who is supposed to be relaxing and resting is currently feeding his tenants out of good will. The situation is that bad!! They can't even pay light bill anymore!


I use this platform to dare Governor Bello of Kogi state, if he's man enough, I challenge him to invite me to his office and I would speak these words to his face fearlessly. He is wicked, good for nothing, heartless and useless.

Kogi is just an unfortunate place to live in! May Audu as well never know peace in his grave. As regards these homeless urchins, their ineffectual destinies have been tied to N5k per protest so I would be so stup!d to have my agitations directed at them. They were born to protest for 5k.

who say make the house urchins no go collect dia own 5 k

Right is right, wrong is wrong.
Just as jungle justice against a criminal is wrong, so is 'using any means' to prosecute a sitting governor.
Both of them are INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY IN A COURT OF LAW.
So people, please-
STOP SELLING YOUR BIRTHRIGHT!

I give up.
you're not ready for a developed Nigeria in your lifetime.
the end justifies the means in my book

Built2last:
You are freezing Fayose's account knowing you cannot bring him to court in any way and manner? To what end then?

entire Sec 308 of the 1999 Constitution verbatim. The Section provides:

(1) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Constitution, but subject to subsection (2) of this section -

(a) No civil or criminal proceedings shall be instituted or continued against a person to whom this section applies during his period of office;

(b) A person to whom this section applies shall not be arrested or imprisoned during that period either in pursuance of the process of any court or otherwise; and

(c) No process of any court requiring or compelling the appearance of a person to whom this section applies, shall be applied for or issued: Provided that in ascertaining whether any period of limitation has expired for the purposes of any proceedings against a person to whom this section applies, no account shall be taken of his period of office.

(2) The provisions of subsection (1) of this section shall not apply to civil proceedings against a person to whom this section applies in his official capacity or to civil or criminal proceedings in which such a person is only a nominal party.

(3) This section applies to a person holding the office of President or Vice-President, Governor or Deputy Governor; and the reference in this section to "period of office" is a reference to the period during which the person holding such office is required to perform the functions of the office.

The most important order Buhari should give now is to military board to release his WAEC result.

While we play politics with this, and viewing it on the prism of APC versus PDP, our democracy is gradually sliding into the cesspit of tyranny while we cheer PMB up....tyranny starts gradually. ...it will soon go round...check history, every tyrant gets to a point where they are scared of their own shadows. They begin to suspect close allies and consequently luck them up. APC leaders should stop PMB before its late. This thing will go round. Hope it won't be too late.

The constitution is clear on how to handle criminal issues. Gather all admissible evidence, arrest, charge to court, prosecute . Anything outside this process is tyranny.

Call me wailer call me zombie. Our democracy is going down and constitution is becoming tatters
