Bitter-leaf has the capacity to grow anywhere unlike other leaves that only grow in certain places and temperature.

The most distinctive feature of this plant is its bitterness. Every part of this plant is bitter starting from the leaves to its roots. The bitterness of this plant is actually good for the body.

The important thing this leaf does is to clean the blood, hence prevent sickness. Apart from using the leaves as vegetable in soups, the leaves are also washed and squeezed to extract the juice from it.

Bitter leaf has lots of health benefits which are broken down into the following;

Bitter leaf is very useful in toning the vital organs of the body especially the liver and the kidney.Bitter-leaf can be very helpful in maintaining the livers optimum health to release bile acid every time people eat fatty foods.
Another major function of the liver is the production of glycogen. Glycogen is stored energy that is released when glucose level is low especially for those who fast.
Diabetic patients can also use bitter-leaf as one of their medication to prevent high sugar level in the blood. It will not only lower the sugar level in the blood but also repair impaired pancreas.
It increases the rate of metabolism in the body system thereby improving weight loss.
It contains anti-parasite, anti-bacteria properties that is needed to cure malaria. It is therefore an anti-bacteria
It detoxifies the blood, prevents indigestion, rheumatism, scurvy and nourishes the skin.
Cures common skin diseases, such as eczema, ring worms, rashes etc, just by squeezing the leaves and applying it to the affected parts.
Bitter leaf juice when taken by nursing mothers, improves the quality and production of breast milk.
Cures mild stomach ailment, pile, fight liver problems, and energizes the body.
It is a rich source of vitamins, such as Vitamin A, vitamin B1 & B2 which are needed by our body.
May reduce the risk of breast cancer.
Can reduce cholesterol which in turn helps reduce the risk factors associated with Stroke, Heart Attack and Alzheimer’s.

A STATEMENT SIGNED BY MR TUNDE OLADUJOYELO, WORLD BANK MEDIA CONSULTANT ON FADAMA, IN ABUJA ON FRIDAY SAID THAT THE WORLD BANK VICE-PRESIDENT FOR AFRICA, MAKHTAR DIOP, ANNOUNCED THE AWARD.
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the FADAMA II programme got the award in 2007, while the FADAMA III programme received the same award in 2014.

NAN reports that the Africa Region Award of Excellence is an annual event instituted by the African Region of the World Bank to recognise excellence in project management and evidence of pro-poor impact of development projects.

Oladujoyelo said that FADAMA III AF project was selected as an archetype of how client-driven agricultural and rural development projects could have significant development impacts on a nation’s economy.

He described the FADAMA III AF project as one of the major programmes of the World Bank, saying that teh project had a total funding portfolio of 200 million U.S. dollars.

“FADAMA III AF project is a follow-up to FADAMA III project and it is being implemented in six core and 22 cluster states.

“The states were selected with a criteria based on their comparative advantages and high potential to increase production and productivity of cassava, rice and sorghum as well as horticulture value chains and link them to better organised markets,’’ he said.

The consultant said that the FADAMA III AF project was closely aligned with the new Agricultural Promotion Policy (APP) of the Federal Government.

“It is facilitating linkages between the federation of producers and existing processors.

“The project was approved by the World Bank’s Board of Directors in June 2013 and its implementation began on Oct. 21, 2013,’’ he said.

Oladujoyelo said that a major objective of the project was to increase the incomes of users of rural lands and water resources within the FADAMA areas in a sustainable manner.

“Taking a value-chain orientation, the FADAMA III AF project is attracting private investments in produce processing, milling and other commercial aspects of agriculture around nucleus farms, with associated smallholder linkages such as out-grower schemes.

“The programme has proved to be a reliable tool for responding to fragile and crisis situations. It recently extended its reach to the victims of insecurity in conflict-affected areas of Northern Nigeria with a 50-million-dollar additional financing in June 2016.

“The project has generated good results on the ground, as it supported farmers to increase rice yield from 2.84mt/ha (metric tons per hectare) to 6.40mt/ha.

“Besides, sorghum yield increased from 1.14mt/ha to 3.65mt/ha, tomato yield from 12.56mt/ha to 28.60mt/ha and cassava yield from 11.92mt/ha to 15.76mt/ha,’’ he said.

Oladujoyelo said that the project was cruising sustainably toward achieving all its development objectives.

Tell someone close to you to slap you .. trust me it will go

Aturu awusa

Pls, my left ear feels as if there is something inside that want to come out and its blocked for almost a week now. What do i do?

It is a common sense @ Nigrian police, kiddnaping hasnt reduced perhaps they are looking for the big fishes. Evans just taught them they can become bellionaires too.

If op had said 400million then I will be wowed, in abj alone every time I'm on the road trekking I see cars worth 50million and avove

Matthew 5: 30.
And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell.

Is just like Evans saying to the police, "I want to go back home"

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS COMMENCED THE SHARING OF HIGH YIELDING AND DISEASE RESISTANT CASSAVA INCLUDING VITAMIN A CASSAVA STEMS TO THE BENEFICIARIES OF DECEMBER 2016 VOCATIONAL TRAINING IN SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES.

This was revealed by the Provost of the Federal College of Agriculture, Akure (FECA), Ondo State, Dr. Samson Odedina, during the kick-off of the distribution of the Cassava materials, at the college ground in Akure on Tuesday.

Odedina disclosed that over 90, 000 bundles each consisting of 50 cassava stems would be shared to beneficiaries, adding that FECA would handle the distribution of the high yielding stems to beneficiaries in four other states including Edo, Ebonyi, Delta and Kaduna.

He noted that the Federal Government through the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (FMARD), supplied the fund used in the training of farmers and that the distribution and training was done in collaboration with an international donor organisation involved in the development and delivery of Vitamin A cassava and maize globally.

“The Cassava Variety can yield up to 40 to 50 tonnes per hectare depending on good recommended agricultural practices” he added.

Since when Buhari began to stay in london, na so bad things just Dey happen to them

Pollination is an essential process in both human-managed and natural terrestrial ecosystems, and it is critical for food production and human livelihoods, directly linking wild ecosystems with agricultural production systems.

Pollinators help plants to grow fruit or seeds by transporting pollen from one part of a plant to another. Without this process, the plants cannot reproduce, which makes pollinators vital to the production of many of the world’s most important crops, as well as millions of jobs and livelihoods that are dependent on this production.

Globally, 35% of food crop production depends on animal pollinators, including honey bees. One of the 115 crop species that provide 90% of food supplies for 146 countries, 71 are bee-pollinated, out of which there are more than 20,000 species of wild bees alone, plus many species of butterflies, flies, moths, wasps, beetles, birds, bats and other animals.

In a 2005 study, the economic value of pollination was estimated at €153 billion, accounting for 9.5% of farm production for human food.

A recent report reveals that more than three-quarters of the world’s food crops rely at least in part on pollination by insects and other animals and between $235 billion and $577 billion worth of annual global food production relies on direct contributions by pollinators.

Sadly, as important as pollinators are to food production, there is a mounting evidence of pollinators decline all over the world. Pollination services are increasingly threatened by the human modification of natural habitats.

According to the first global assessment of pollinators, there is some cause for concern with entire populations under pressure from things like habitat loss, diseases, pesticides, pollution, pathogens and climate change.

A disruption in pollination services could have important negative ecological and economic consequences because the cessation of these services could reduce wild plant diversity, narrow ecosystem stability, reduce crop production, and decrease food security and human welfare.

Conserving existing habitats and rehabilitating new habitat are important steps to preserve pollinators and provide pollination services to crops.

Therefore, to protect pollinators in the farm, farmers are advised to do the following:

Select Agri-Environment Scheme options which support wild pollinators such as flower margins or habitat creation.
Decrease exposure of pollinators to pesticides by reducing their usage, seeking alternative forms of pest control, and adopting a range of specific application practices, including technologies to reduce pesticide drift.
Leave uncultivated flower rich patches in farmland where pollinators can benefit from flowers and nesting resources.
Plant mass-flowering crops (e.g. oilseed, clover and field beans) as part of rotations to provide extra nectar and pollen for bees and other insects.
Improving managed bee husbandry for pathogen control, coupled with better regulation of trade and use of commercial pollinators.
Education and exchange of knowledge among farmers, scientists, industry, communities, and the general public.
