How do u sell?

It is very easy to just enter bush, clear & start planting cocoa.

D problem of most farmers in Nigeria is post harvest mgt.

How do we make sure we don't end up being poor farmers if we fail to harness d bizness side of d cocoa value chain?

We are building a bizness model that hasn't been done b4 in Nigeria.

We need to look at all d nitty gritty to come out with a workable model.


We shall, God's willing; deliver a workable *CocoaVillage* bizness model for d benefit of us all.

*THE OIL IS DEAD!*

*"Britain to ban sale of all diesel and petrol cars and vans from 2040 ".*

Fellow Nigerians:
"The house is on fire and the owners are running after rats"!

Let me help us understand the implication of what the UK is about to do. In 2011 Obama made a similar statement. When he said,
" We Will end our dependence on foreign oil".

At the time when he made this audacious statement, Nigeria was the 5th largest exporter of oil to the United States. And things looked good for us as a nation. A lot of us did not know that Obama was actually talking about us. We were so consumed with the opium of a cool, black African President, who will do us no harm. Three years later, the U.S stopped importing crude oil from us. And the result was devastating. They gave our oil a red card. And the red card gave our currency, the naira, a knockout punch, “one blow, seven die”. We went from N200 to a dollar to N500 to a dollar. The consequence of this was dare and severe, and everyone felt it. The prices of food and other commodities suddenly went through the roof. People began to struggle financially, hardship became common place, state governments couldn’t pay salaries and banks began to lay off innocent men and women. It is not as if we are even out of the wood yet, and now this.

So what happened? Why did the U.S stop buying our oil? The answer is shale oil. They discovered shale oil, developed the capacity to drill this liquid and therefore did not need our oil anymore. They replaced us with their own home grown oil. Shale oil disrupted us.

There is an African proverb that says, “When the mouse laughs at the cat, there is a hole nearby”. Ladies and gentlemen as I write this post, it might interest you to know that Tesla just unveiled a car called model 3. This car can run for 215 miles after charging it. It does not have plugs, no valves, no gasket to replace, no combustion engine and therefore no need for a mechanic to fix it. It is a technology car with softwares, artificial intelligence, applications, digital devices and auto pilot. Meaning that you can sit behind the wheel of the car and watch the car drive itself. And it does not pollute the environment. Remarkable!

This is the future that emboldened the UK, France and other countries to declare that they cannot carry on with diesel and petrol cars anymore.

And the winner is Elon Musk. He just disrupted the auto industry. He has succeeded in moving the entire buzz about the future of transportation from hype to reality and other auto industries are rushing to join. Volvo for instance just announced that by 2019 they will stop producing any kind of diesel/petrol cars. 2019 is two years from now.

Fellow Nigerians, the future is with us today and electric car is the future. Electric car has finally disrupted petrol cars; the same way that the computer disrupted the typewriter several years ago.

What this means for us as a country is that the demand for oil will start going down. In the next three years, some countries will join the UK in rejecting our oil because they will no longer need it. Demand for our oil will fall. And as demand falls, the price of oil will crash and as prices fall the value of our naira will crash to possibly N1000 to a dollar or N2000 to a dollar. I am not a futurist and I am not an economist but it was right before our very eyes that we saw our naira crash from N250 to a dollar to N500 to a dollar in less than one year. The only reason why our currency gained value thereafter was because OPEC came together to pull the plug over oil fields.

Each time I discuss this issue with friends, I usually get this question. Sam, do you mean that the oil industry will soon disappear? My answer is usually NO! Developing countries like Nigeria, Ghana, Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago will remain with combustion engine cars far beyond 2040. As a matter of fact, most of the petrol and diesel cars currently plying the roads of the developed world today, would end up in Africa. So petrol cars will be with us for a while.

Another use for our oil is in the aviation industry, the shipping industry, the petrochemical industry, the plastic industry and some other industries that use derivatives from crude oil. So to an extent, oil will continue to be relevant. The only problem is that the major consumer of oil, petrol/diesel combustion engine will disappear. And this will just help to drive nails into the coffin of the oil industry.

Ladies and gentlemen, the future is not good for oil, no matter which way you look at it.

*Oil is dead!*

*And now the question is, what next Nigeria......?*

Cocoa (& other plantation cash crops) are dead. But, together; we make it (them) alive again.

FLORIDA ORANGE PLANTATION

The state of Florida in the USA generates about $9 billion from it's 69.5 million Orange/Citrus trees grown on 531,500 acres of land.

Florida produces about 180 million boxes of orange annually and creates 76000 direct and indirect decent jobs.

90% of the Orange is processed into juice and the remainder is sold as fresh fruit.

They also produce oil,fragrances,flavorings and animal feed from the oranges.

How many mango trees can we grow between Lokoja and Makurdi?

Did I hear you say 100 Million....!

If only we can wake up & take agriculture seriously, we can also achieve this feat.

Imagine each state taking on 2 or 3 agric products & explore the whole value chain instead of just producing subsistencely.

They will be able to create more than 150,000 sustainable new jobs per state.

Well, if the govt won't help us, we need to braze up & help ourselves.

Agriculture is & can be dependable, sustainable, prosperous.....if done rightly.

This is d whole idea of our *CocoaVillage* project.

We want to relaunch cocoa as dependable agro product.

It has been done b4. It can be done again.

Together, we can achieve more & make it happen.

Who cares to join us?

Lets stop this victimization card we always play. We need to start asking our own leadership real questions.
I used to believe all the marginalization story until I started trying to understand the real issues myself.

I don't have the time now, but when I do I will give you proper analysis complete with data on our ports and the usage. And you'll find that our leaders in the SE and SS are lying to us to cover for their own failures. The story of propping up Lagos ports is all falsehood. Infact , on some parameters, Onne port actually trumps both Apapa and Tin an Ports. Combined, Lagos ports control just 57% in tonnage terms while Delta and Rivers and Calabar ports control 43%.

Ask an Onitsha trader why he shipped his goods to Lagos and the only reason is that his agent who is from Anambra state is located in Lagos. There are ships going to all the ports. We just dont use it. Our minds are just fixated on Lagos.
Infact the best maintained and most organised port in Nigeria is Onne port and it is not much more expensive than the Lagos ports.

Lets stop this useless victim mentality.

Why didnt Jonathan build the IBAKA PORT?? Why didn't he dredge the Calabar River? Babangida and Abacha made sure LNG was built in Bonny. Jonathan couldn't put a stone on Brass LNG. We need to begin holding our own leaders responsible. This useless victim mentality is allowing us tolerate their uselessness.

Below are some statistics. Like I said, if I have time later, I can give you a clearer picture on many of these issues.


NB
And to think about it, shouldn't we be more interested in outward traffic (Exports) than Inward traffic (imports).
Delta and Onne control 90% of outward traffic which means both of these ports are very well equipped to ship goods out of the country which we should be looking to take advantage of by exporting our goods as against complaining about Lagos ports handling imports.

For once, I totally agree with u 100%.

Brainwashung of d populace by d elites for their selfish interest.
