Please read carefully.....
With 120,000 you can successfully invest into the business.....
Lease 1 acre of land, clear the land, buy cassava stem , weeding etc... We are into it.
We also run the processing unit firm.

With 120,000 naira I can buy 1 acre of matured cassava farm. So why should I spend 120,000 naira to plant cassava when I can buy 1 acre of cassava farm with it? This shows that you are just an internet farmer.

Why do you want to know?

I wish there is a way to slap you through the internet.

If I have 120k I can buy an acre of matured cassava farm.

Without appropriation by the national assembly.

The law makers don't even know their job and the opposition don't even know what they are doing

Ruggedniggaone:
which subsidy abeg?

Not subsidy, it is under recovery.

Nothing like subsidy they said.

Subsidy is a fraud they said.

Nnpc got the memo after APC came to power, they removed subsidy from their vocabulary and replaced it with "under recovery"

So in 2017 there was 1.4 trillion naira subsidy emm emm sorry under recovery that was not in the budget and was not appropriated by the legislature.

Seems so people are tired of lying to themselves and now want subsidy removed.

Even when the man is depressed the woman could not hide her selfishness, she wants the man alive to shoulder responsibilities with her

Instead of quietly visiting the man and giving him brain resetting doggy style she is offering mocking prayer

EMMAACHILE:
Is there a provision to connect to a 66kv line in Nigeria?
Alternatively, there are parts of cities with almost 24 hours electricity like Abuja, Lokoja and Makurdi. Plants can be sited there too if the raw materials are plenty.

There are provisions to connect to 66kv lines.

I have seen two facilities connected to the 66kv line in delta state and one residential estate in Lekki connected to the 66kv line.

The fact that you get lower tariff when connected to the 66kv line compared to the 33kv or 11kv lines means that you are actually being encouraged to connect to the 66kv line.

However it is not cheap to connect to those lines, the power has to be switched off when you want to connect and you will have to pay for the lost revenue for that period. But if you are planning a big company then the cost can easily be offset during your operation.

The steel plant at Aladja for example is connected to the 132 kV line.

.
she went for a test and amongst the drugs they gave her flagyl but when she start...stomach pain fellow suit.

Flagyl does not normally cause stomach pain.

If she can not swallow flagyl then she should look for the one she can insert. She should ask a pharmacist or doctor.

EMMAACHILE:
That will be very expensive. At 33kv or 11kv, one can connect directly.
Agriculture is expensive if you want it done well.

The point I was trying to make is that you can get reliable power in Nigeria if you have the money and the knowledge of what to do.

If you connect to the 33kv line or the 11kv line then you are exposed to load shedding at the substation. Since the generated power is not enough load shedding is done at the substation by turning off the 33kv and 11kv lines. Being connected to the 66kv line isolates you from the major load shedding scenarios. But being exempted from load shedding can be done by agreement with the power distribution companies.

When you say it will be expensive, what is really the difference in cost between a 500 kva 33kv transformer and a 500 kva 66kv transformer?

Also note that electricity tariff drops the higher the voltage that you are connected to.

EMMAACHILE:
How do you connect to a 132kv line? It's not possible. You will need a substation to do that.

You look for a substation and connect at the substation. So you situate your plant close to the substation or you build a substation if you have the money.

Those who have taken this route have much more reliable power from the grid.

Pistotita:
It is an advantage when it is true, but not true in all cases. Lagos, Ondo, Ekiti, Osun, Ogun, and Oyo are South West states. And Oyo is very large with different rainfall patterns. I know Delta and Edo very well too. Even down to Calabar, and up in the north. I have worked everywhere.


I choose cassava stem cultivars based on my final product (garri, fufu, starch, or flour) and according to the rain pattern of the location of the farm. There are sections I might deliberately decide to irrigate too during dry season, and so that means, I may want sone areas near a big river. Nevertheless, I agree with you that the areas with higher rainfall are at advantage, but that's not the end of the story.


Firstly, natural gas energy generation was not that common practice at the time. We are still saying same thing. Yeah! We considered it, but our prediction was accurate. Looking back, I am glad I did not proceed. I think you really need to know what Free Trade Zones are about. Why do you think having shops, stands, restaurants, bureau de change, etc inside airports are like jackpots? Most are free trade zones. You need to check it out. In the long run, it makes sense to have any business there.

Secondly, there is going to be sea port, airport, and many industries in the area very soon. Businesses there are secured.

Thirdly, every zone generates it's power. It is 24/7 power there. You misunderstood it again. They are well managed business areas that expats always want to check out first everywhere in the world. Electricity are generated specially for the zones. It is not waiting for public distribution of power like you wrote in your post.

Fourthly, it's free trade because tax is free for life, and that's easy exportation. Don't you get it? Well, most farmers do not pay taxes, but you are going to start producing starch, you should pay; else, your enemies will wait for you at the time you are about to make another major breakthrough. lol. Do you understand the huge burden of cutting off tax? No rigorous business registration with C.A.C is another vital advantage. Businesses are just very smooth to run in the zones.

I can go on and on. It's not just feasible for industries to make generation of electricity via gas as the first alternative. Nigeria is just a careless nation. The cleanest, best, and cheapest energy generation method is nuclear. I will write about it soon.


Not sure of the capacity or how modern your equipment will be, but it is rare to run on wood to power standard factories. And most banks will find it hard to borrow anyone trying to use wood. World Bank that we were trying to work with at the time definitely would throw our proposal inside trash can. Wood energy is not good for the environment as professionals claim. They say it's bad for ecosystem and it a major cause of deforestation which leads to extinction of animals spices in the jungle. However,if there is a solid plan to re plant as one is cutting down, it can be accepted. And if the system will not pollute air, it can be accepted. For you, no one will question you because you are funding it yourself, or using connection to make local banks overlook it. lol. That's from my experience. Where is the law enforcement agency in Nigeria? Hehehe!

Not saying wood option should be discarded, but I would try to see how to address the points I mentioned in this post if I was to use wood.

Diesel is not cheap, gas is not cheap too. Not to talk of the high cost of initial set up. Factories that ran from Lagos to Accra some years back had the option of generating power, but they all knew they were really running at super high cost. Therefore, I have not said one cannot do it, but my advice is that potential owners should count the costs very well, and they should try to accurately predict the future condition of the set up before embarking on it.

Lekki Free Trade Zone even makes more sense than all other zone because of Dangote oil refinery in the area. Lagos is the capital base of the Nigerian economy. Not saying Edo and Delta are wrong places, I can establish it there too.

Finally, I backed out of the business because other shareholders (actually they gat the link of the loans we wanted to use) were only interested in the incentives for their own selfish interests, while they wanted to put the burden of running it on just two of us. They will continue taking the benefits and sharing it among themselves, while the CEO who was suppose to be me and the other guy will be running the business on huge debt which would have been created before operation started. My partner and I saw the ma.dness because we were diligent in our investigation, and we ran away from that crazy trap.

We learn everyday. I want you to learn something this year. Visit a cassava farm in Delta or Edo state during harvest. Compare the yield per stand to what you see in the south west. Ensure you visit the farm in the rainforest belt of the state, not farms in the fresh water swamp forest belt.

Energy from wood is classified as renewable energy. So western donors can not discriminate against it. Sweden generates over 20% of its electricity from wood biomass. In Nigeria you can power your electricity biomass generator without cutting down any tree. There are enough waste biomass around to use. There are heaps of sawdust in the south, heaps of palm kernel shells in the east, tree tops and branches are left to rot in the forest by logging people when the go to collect timber.
Million of tons of plant debris that are cleared and burnt annually during land preparation for farming can turn into wood chips and used to power biomass generators.
Infact you can get biomass supplied to your factory for less than 30 USD per ton

My point is that there are other energy sources that can be looked at to power ones plant if you have the money to set it up, so using lack of power to justify not setting up a plant is not really a nice idea.

There are several industrial estates with natural gas supply, the Agbara industrial estate for example is connected to the gas grid. If you have a gas power generator then you can produce your own electricity from gas at the industrial estate.

You can even get charcoal at less than 50,000 naira per ton. Brazil still uses charcoal to power its steel plants, why can't we use charcoal to power our agricultural processing plants right in the bush.

If all this is difficult, then hook up your company to the 66kv or 132kv power lines if you have the money. Those lines pass through the bush and are reliable.

But walking away from setting up a factory if the proponents of the factory are just after incentives is a good idea. A factory should only be set up if the feasibility study show that it is viable.

Pistotita:
You still do not understand the logic behind what I passed out here. Lekki is close to Epe who are ijebus. Who produces garri ijebu? Are they not the ijebus?

Also, are there more showers of rain in Edo and Delta than South West? So, is Epe not rainforest zone? Cassava is the main business there too.

The challenge is power. Is there power in the Edo and Delta you recommended? To cultivate cassava is not the isdue. It can be done anywhere. But to process it is what we are trying to say is hard. And the reason is lack of power. If logistics can be assured, it's more profitable to have a large farm close by and situate the factory in the free trade zone where power is assured. That one is not assured too. But it is better to think in that direction than invest heavily in a factory in the bush. Another option is to run the equipment on diesel in the farm. But is it profitable?

Any farm situated anywhere can be profitable with manual or less auto equipment for making garri and fufu as long as the owner can monitor workers. Is it someone in diaspora that will sit down with them in the farm?

If you take a look at the rainfall distribution map for Nigeria you will discover that Edo and delta state have higher rainfall than Ogun state.

Cassava yield in Edo and delta state per hectare is higher than what you can achieve in the south west for the same effort and input. I have farms in delta state, Edo state and Oyo state, I know what I am saying.

Nigeria does not have adequate electricity and the way it is going the situation will remain like this for the foreseeable future. Any one who wants to go into production must factor his own power generation into his plans. Waiting for public power supply is a mirage.

In your case, you should have move your cassava processing factory to delta or Edo state and situated it where you can get natural gas supply. You can generate your electricity using natural gas, instead of allowing the business idea to die.

I am currently setting up a cassava starch processing factory in Delta state. It will be powered by diesel and wood gas. The wood gas should reduce my diesel cost by over 60 %.

Pistotita:
1. Cassava
World Bank is really interested in this crop the moment bio-technology made it possible to produce cassava with extreme high starch content. Funny that Nigerians are not interested in starch but in the most common end products in SW and SE which are garri, and another one called "fufu" in the west. Hahaha! The Ijebus (a popular mini tribe in the Yoruba land which spreads from Epe, Lagos to Ogun State with their main town in Ijebu Ode) have a special fermented garri with peculiar aroma. It just must be sour, else it is worthless in the market. Actually, I enjoy drinking garri with powdered milk, nuts, and without any sweetner. Hahaha! But I do not so much like eating "eba", the cooked form of garri because it takes too long to digest. I just do not like it, and fufu is a capital NO for me too. While the Ibos hate so much this fermented version, they usually make their garri by adding palm oil to it which turns the color to yellow. Yeah! This version of "eba" tastes better in my mouth, while drinking it as garri is disastr.ous. And they even pound it to make it smoother.

Value Chain
1. Cassava Tubers --> Cooked tubers
2. Cassava Tubers --> Processed to garri ---> Local Market --->Packed for grocery stores
3. Cassava Tubers ---> Processed to Fufu wet/dry powder -->Local Market --> Packed for grocery stores
4. Cassava Tubers ---> Cassava Flour ---> Used in 10-20% flour proposed for bakery esp bread, but not used OR Exported
5. Cassava Tubers ---> Starch ---> Replace Corn Starch by Many industries OR Exported

Cassava Starch is the reason World Bank got involved, and it is expected that cassava starch will overtake corn starch in the world market. But it has its limitation too. One of it is that cassava tubers must be processed immediately after harvest, not even 24 hours after. The earlier it's processed, the better the starch or flour from it. Therefore, it is expected to situate the factory right inside the farm.

Huge Challenge For Corn and Starch Production
How is it possible to situate a huge factory in the bush? Where is the power to drive the equipment? Or do you want to use solar energy to drive huge equipment? Hehehe. I believe World Bank should be tired to pushing cassava starch at this stage because Africa, especially Nigeria is not ready. The world expects more productivity from Nigeria, but she is slacking. This country should be great, but her obituary is coming out soon with the kind of people in power, and I seriously pray against it.

Free Trade Zones and the World Starch Market
It sounded like a good idea to situate ones business in the free trade zone to enjoy free taxes since the business is going to be more of exportation. In 2013 when I was writing 2 billion naira 80 tons of cassava starch daily production business for Lekki Zone (actually the optimum production of the factory was suppose to be 100 tons daily), I realised that the road network even from Epe town to the destination might be ok at the initial stage, but may be hard in the future. I just know most of our tubers would not gain easy access to the factory because of congestion, and we would run at loss. My partners were trying to force it just to take advantage of the already available loan and other incentives attached. But I was going to be most likely the CEO of the firm, and I would be the one with sleepless nights during operation. I looked at the incentives attached, and what we would likely face in the nearest future, and I just said No. I was not going forward. Since there was no way to install another form of plant to generate energy for the factory in the bush at the time, I could not run the business..They felt I was joking with all the benefits attached, but they were wrong. While I was trying to convince myself if their proposal could be looked into, I met the expat who is the MD of the firm which was about installing the factory in Eko Hotel. Fortunately, he came to Lagos from Europe for a week business meetings, and he was the one who told me about all the failed factories his company had installed in West Africa, even one along Ibadan Express Way just because the factories were not in the bush. That was when I quit the business. No power in the bush, forget Cassava Starch production in a very big way. Except you just can arrange smooth transportation from farm to your factory continuously. Do not ever depend on farmers for tuber supply. You have just dug out the pit your factory will be buried before you start operation by relying on farmers. Dead on arrival!

Subsistence Cassava Farming
Until power improves tremendously in Nigeria, Cassava cultivation will stil continue to be dominated by subsistence farmers. In fact by indegenes of the areas garri, fufu, and starch food are known for.

Low Yield
Since the sponsors of mandates of research institutes are not interested in cassava production for local diets, old cultivars are still mostly used. Well, might be IITA has got some better versions, I do not know. But I am sure that these indegenes are so concerned about a peculiar aroma, taste, or whatever they want which warrants them to stay more with low yield cultivars. There is a saying amount them that Never use fertilizer to grow cassava . Is it true? Waoooo! Therefore, land rest is vital since they need natural nutrients only. It's cheap for them too. But they always run out of land faster than expected; therefore, they remain extremely poor. Please, if you are a cassava farmer producing for making garri, kindly share with us more information about this believe of not cultivating cassava with fertilizer, and why is the believe so common among them. Or has it changed? I doubt it. lol.

Cassava production leads me to my first 2 principles for commercial Agro farming business in Nigeria.

Principle 1: Be extra careful with Agro processing businesses which require heavy equipment usage, especially if the product has short shelf life, or just avoid them
Power needs to be available. Until power is supplied uninterrupted, Nigeria cannot fly like eagle on her coat of arm. Mark my words, power is the main ingredient lost in taking our economy to the next level. APC and Buhari are jokes concerning their next level without sufficient power. I believe we should let any incoming president know that if he cannot supply minimum of 50MW power, he should forget it. For Christ sake, Lagos population is millions. I believe the official figure for Lagos population is flawed as the real figure is much more than the official figure. It is cra.zy. Something is wrong with Nigeria. And can you imagine how big the north is, and the population there is so scanty compared to Lagos. Even hausas are migrating to Lagos to hustle. And Buhari wanted cows to join the population too in the name of creating farm ranches (Ruga) across the country. Hahahahah. Ma.dness dey oooo. Walahi! Federal Government does not understand anything about economy. Standard and confirmed! Full Stop!

Thank God President Buhari admitted yesterday that his best is not good enough for the power sector. Click HERE

On the otherhand, I don't still know how anything which requires physical wire electricity distribution will work in Nigeria. The people themselves are hear.tless, wic.ked, and they are their own wor.st ene.mies. Telecommunication did not work until physical wire distribution was dumped. Is there any wifi electrical distributions which Nigerians can use? Why? Nigerians tamper with these cables. When a man has the confidence to tamper with high voltage transformer powering several streets with minimum of 30 houses in each, then you realise that de.vil resides in many Nigerians. Hehehehehe! When you gat the confidence to climb a ladder and tamper with live cables without consulting the authority so that experts can be sent to check the fault. But the so called experts too are ma.d set of humans. Seriously, the man who will solve Nigerian Power challenges might be more powerful than Angel Michael, and softer than Gabriel.


Principle 2: An agro processing firm should produce at least 80% of its raw material
The second principle was confirmed after the collapsed of Dangote tomato factory and I think he is trying to correct it. Your business is dead on arrival if you rely on farmers to supply up to 50% of the raw materials for your factory. This is not a trading business. After the tomato factory issue, Alhaji Dangote approached another governor in the North for land for farming, and that one too was asking him to liase with farmers. Dangote just told the governor that he, his farmers, their land will be alright. lol. They lost huge investment from Dangote Who has resources to waste on lazy farmers. That's even in the north..South is worse. Hehehe! The northern farmers still produced, but these southern farmers will definitely divert the money invested in them elsewhere. Never work with the do - called Togolese, Cotonou, Benue, etc workers if you do not know how to handle them. They are de.mons on farms. Your investment will start evaporating like boiled water in your presence using these people as workers. They do not care. They just want to collect salary. And if you know any farmer who is using them, tell him to take Blood Pressure test, and you will understand. Even the boss on farms ages faster than the boys working because of unrest mind set. Hehehehe! Please, do not ever write me to come manage your farm, esp if it's located in the south. I beg you in God's name. I gat my challenges in my business to address. Lol.

Lessons learnt
1. Becareful with government, IMF, and World Banks proposals. They are not the best in most cases. Personally, I do not like most of their solutions for developing nations. They are more interested in serving the developed nations funding them. Until Nigeria starts funding them too, I do not expect much from them.
2. Stay away from using too much power in your farm. Push forward any farming operation that require power till Nigeria gets it right. Maybe not in our generation. So, do not do it.
3. Farmers are not reliable. Be the farmer of what you want to process. Infact, cover about 80% of the value chain of the industry you want to dive in. Else, you will have serious and many challenges in the nearest future after the commencement of operation.

Recommendations for Cassava Business
1. Cassava is not meant for subsistence farming. You need minimum of 10 ha to do it well with tractors of yours; else, you will be poor like the indegenes.
2. Your best bet as at this moment is still local food production such as garri/fufu/food starch, etc..
3. Consult IITA to get local manufacturers of equipment used for such processing. Make sure you calculate the energy needed before you dived into it. Never go for too heavy equipment. Look for equipment which are very good on low power or manually easily operated. Never listen only to those manufacturers because they want to sell. Consult users of their machines. Not only the ones they send you to, but dig deep to find angry customers and listen to them very well.
4. Consult a vegetable expert to take you on ways to boost nutrients in your soil organically so you can keep down the quantity of fertilizer. Check this other thread of mine to start thinking like a vegetable farmer. Click HERE.
5. For uninterrupted operation, plan towards getting your own mini tractor.
6. Do not expand too fast. Since you do not have power to operate heavy equipment, you are going to still rely on moderately to heavily on human resources.
7. Cassava tuber sales is not profitable. Aim at processing your tubers.
8. Personally, I think if you cannot monitor harvest and processing through a trusted manager or by yourself, keep off cassava business. It takes minimum of 8 months to mature, and then, you run at loss during harvest and processing just because you cannot monitor it well. So, if you are in diaspora, consider all these issues before setting up a cassava farm. It is not such a wonderful business as promoted by consultants as at this moments. It is ok, but it has got its challenges which they will not tell you.
9. That cassava farming involves lower production risks does not mean the losses are low. Infact, cassava tubers and wholesale end products prices are highly volatile. 8 months is a long time to predict sales price. So, I put it under high risk farming business. And cassava removes too much nutrients in the soil. It's a tricky farming in my opinion, and can be ridiculous if you do not know the tricks

I think cassava processing factory will be really profitable if situated in the rainforest zone. Places like delta and Edo state produce vast amounts of cassava. Putting a cassava plant in Lekki because it is a free trade zone is a joke. Cassava is bulky and transportation will be a problem for any plant situated far away from the source of cassava.

She should call that number from Oman. It is an agency created by the Oman government to look into cases of forced labour.

Stupid problem.

Nigerians sell their fellow citizens into slavery because if meagre 400 dollars.

The Arabs give the Nigerian agent 400 USD per girl and just because of that the Nigerian agent will trick the girls into believing that they have a very good job waiting for them in Oman. Only to end up as slave

This can work out if they put their minds to it.

The following ideas will help

100% resource control for the regions
Confederation arrangement
Freedom of any region to leave the union by popular referendum
Getting the backing of at least Russia or the US
No federal character, positions to be filled through competence
State of origin not required in official documents
State and local government police
Freedom to bear arms by at least 50% of adults

Go read that section of the constitution to understand, do you realize that the Queen of England, her children and grandchildren can become Nigerians today if any of them so wish, since their matriarch the Queen was on Nigerian soil as at midnight October 1st 1960, they can get their Nigerian passport if they request for it.
Go read the constitution please and get yourself educated.

Modified

Just saw the bolded you added.
Now quote that section where the constitution said something about being on Nigerian soil as at that date.

You don't know the constitution of Nigeria. I guess that you are Fulani or someone from the north who sees Fulanis as his masters.

I will post the the entire section on citizenship here,

No part of the constitution makes someone like Buhari born in Nigeria before independence to foreign parents to be a Nigerian just because he was on Nigerian soil at independence. To be a Nigerian, at least one of his parents or one of his grand parents has to have been born in Nigeria which is claimed not the case by some sources

Nigerians are just stupid to allow a foreigner to be their president.



25. (1) The following persons are citizens of Nigeria by birth-namely-
(a) every person born in Nigeria before the date of independence, either of whose parents or any of whose grandparents belongs or belonged to a community indigenous to Nigeria;

Provided that a person shall not become a citizen of Nigeria by virtue of this section if neither of his parents nor any of his grandparents was born in Nigeria.

(b) every person born in Nigeria after the date of independence either of whose parents or any of whose grandparents is a citizen of Nigeria; and

(c) every person born outside Nigeria either of whose parents is a citizen of Nigeria.

(2) In this section, 'the date of independence' means the 1st day of October 1960.


By the bolded section you can see that Buhari is not a Nigerian unless you can prove that at least one of his parents or grand parent was born in Nigeria.

We know his parents were not born in Nigeria, can you prove that his grand parents were born in Nigeria when his immediate parents were immigrants?

Yyeske:
According to the Nigerian constitution which Southerners like Zik and Awo signed, they are Nigerians except perhaps those who cross into the country now and then.
If they, their parents or grandparents were anywhere in Nigeria as at October 1st 1960, they are Nigerians.
Do you know where you people migrated from before they settled in Nigeria?
Instead of your likes to be thinking about how to convince other Igbo groups who had denied been Igbos and the SS minorities who have denied anything to do with Biafra, you are busy poking your nose into what has never been your business

You are wrong.

For you to be a Nigerian, if you were born in Nigeria before independence, at least one of your parent or one of your grand parent most have been born in Nigeria.

Read the constitution again.

By the letters of the constitution, Buhari for example is not a Nigerian because non of his parents or his grand parents were born in Nigeria, even though Buhari was born in Nigeria.

The following persons are citizens of Nigeria by birth-namely-
(a) every person born in Nigeria before the date of independence, either of whose parents or any of whose grandparents belongs or belonged to a community indigenous to Nigeria;

Provided that a person shall not become a citizen of Nigeria by virtue of this section if neither of his parents nor any of his grandparents was born in Nigeria.

Those guys have always been a thorn on the flesh of the government, killing and maiming innocent people and spewing out hate speech and threats of war. But most people will not remember that now because like every other thing he touches, Buhari has mismanaged the situation so bad that people are now even beginning to have sympathy for the evil sect.

PS: I hope one day someone will not come and be asking what the crime of Boko Haram is.

The penalty for hate speech or for being a thorn in the flesh of the government is not jail without trial.

They should try him in court if he committed a crime otherwise they should release him

Everybody have their own problems.

Your mum has her problems and she must have reasoned that moving with you to her husband's house was not going to help her case.

You should actually blame your father and your current step father more for the alienation that you feel.

Your father could have married your mum and given you a home, but he did not. Your step have could have told your mum to bring you home, but refused to do that. He is the head of the home and your mum cannot take your to his house without his consent.

Just focus on developing yourself and being a man who can take care of himself.
Go to school get a degree and live your life. Life can be difficult a times when you do not have a father figure to look up to. But you can come out fine if you decide to be level headed and plan your life well.

THE CIVIL WAR THIS TIME
Basil Okoh

(“WAR WILL SOON BREAK OUT IN NIGERIA. MARK MY WORDS” – Olusegun Obasanjo.)

Another civil war in Nigeria has become imminent and inevitable. The reason for its inevitability is simply because Muhammadu Buhari, the Northern Nigeria Fulani oligarchs and the wider network of Fulani in Sub-Saharan Africa have concluded plans to adopt Nigeria as the homeland for all Fulani in Africa.

They have realised that the wandering and rootless lifestyle of cattle herding Fulani is no longer tenable in the twenty-first century. Fulani need to have land to call home and rear cattle and that land should be Nigeria. The indigenous peoples of Nigeria have vehemently and stridently opposed this diabolic plan and both sides are mobilising for war. The Fulani won't relent and the indigenous people will not give up their land.

The same Fulani Project, having failed so shamelessly and woefully in the Central Africa Republic, will not be allowed to fail this time as the Nigerian Fulani project is better funded with the massive creaming of the sovereign wealth of Nigeria through nationwide kidnapping for ransom by lower class Fulani and seizure of the reigns of Government and wealth by the elite Fulani.

Kidnapping and the seizure of the institutions of Government are all for the purpose of implanting Fulani into the mainstream and control of politics and the economy of Nigeria for the objective of funding the Fulani Project in Nigeria.

The Central Africa Republic (CAR) has gone through exact same experience that Nigeria is going through right now in the hands of the Fulani. The country has been run down by the killings and destitution wrought by rival gangs in the fight to destroy the chokehold the Fulani had on the politics and economy of their country. Although the Fulani hegemony over the CAR has been defeated, the street gangs that defeated the armed forces have turned on one another and themselves, unable to rise above petty gang warfare to rebuild their nation.

The Fulani have become a blight on Africa and it’s biggest country Nigeria. Unable to break out of its centuries old cow herding and wandering culture, it continues to pull down every nation wherever it has any populations. Some countries in West Africa, Ghana and their ancestral home Guinea, have mastered the brutal tactics of dealing with Fulani and the Fulani have learnt the bitter lesson by staying away from these countries.

In the CAR, the Fulani following the pattern of their ethnocentric politics, had seized control of the commanding heights of the country’s military and financial institutions, the foreign exchange trade, the mining and export of gold and above all the governing structures of Government. Mitchel Djotodia, a hare brained military officer and his Fulani faction seized power in a brazen coup by a demographic minority. All the non-Fulani military officers were flushed out of the forces, all the mineral deposits in the country were seized by Fulani merchants, non-Fulani traders were barred from trading in foreign exchange and the entire top echelon of the Civil Service were occupied by Fulani by as much as 83%.

France, the former colonial masters of CAR watched them do all these over the years and did not raise a protest. As in Nigeria, the Fulani were just 3% of the population of CAR, tucked in the desert recesses of the nation’s Northwest. No world or regional power raised a whimper even though the ethnic groups of the rich southern forest regions roiled. The Fulani went even beyond the provocative as they are doing now in Nigeria.

They started seizing ethnic lands, raiding churches and killing worshippers, the most brazen being the attack on Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church in a town near Bangui the capital, where dozens of Catholic faithful were massacred during mass. The Fulani used their cattle bases allotted by Government to launch attacks and gun fights on the surrounding communities for robberies and ransom paying kidnaps as is happening now in Nigeria.

Again, as is happening in Nigeria today, the purpose of all the action of the Fulani was simple; to transfer all wealth available in the CAR by all and every means and place it in the hands and control of the Fulani. It is the same play book guiding the actions and policies of the Buhari Government in Nigeria. The Fulani elite are raiding the Central Bank, buying dollars and other currencies at heavily discounted rates, other Fulani are raiding the NNPC, ploughing through the vaults and trading Nigerian crude for personal gain.

The educated wing are mowing down governing structures, taking forceful charge and control of all commanding heights of Government and the armed forces. The uneducated Fulani herdsmen are engaged in kidnapping for ransom and now primed to take over ethnic lands, spreading themselves across the nation in settlements acquired with public funds to terrorise indigenous populations.

It will be of great use to retell the story of CAR so as to have the understanding of how the youth of the country removed the yoke of unremitting oppression by the Fulani. The youth formed street gangs and committed to take on the army with all their vaunted training and intimidating and deadly weaponry. The youth had locally fabricated flint guns and machetes, while the army was menacing with their machine guns, grenade throwers and rocket launchers.

When the fight started on that fateful day in 2013 in Bangui, everyone expected a complete annihilation of youth on the streets but the youth took the fight straight to the Guard Brigade near the Presidential Palace.

By evening of the same day, soldiers bodies were seen littering the streets while some were cut to pieces. By night fall, the streets of Bangui had become the play ground and the killing field of the youth of Bangui. In three days of street fighting, the entire Presidential Guards of the army of the CAR was decimated, in disarray running to their ethnic base in the far north and President Djotodia, the Fulani tyrant had abdicated and run away from the Presidential Palace and Capital, Bangui.

Tyrants survive for only as long as the people live in fear and choose to tolerate them. The Buhari Government is counting on deploying the Nigerian armed forces against the many ethnicities where the RUGA will be sited, beginning with the minority groups.

Buhari's plan is to deploy Nigerian troops to subdue Nigerian people for the benefit of Fulani. Central Africa Republic provides a veritable lesson on how to deal with the unrelenting Fulani menace. The Niger Delta and Boko Haram if anything, have shown that the Nigeria army is not invincible in a fight with local forces. If anything, the Nigeria Army will likely disintegrate if made to fight in many fronts at once.

It is a known truth that the Fulani will not relent in their quest for the conquest of Nigeria until they have seized all sources of income and made everyone else subservient to their rule and hegemony.

The Fulani in Nigeria, in nearly a century of political and economic ascendancy have acquired so much power and money that it will defeat the purpose of such acquisition if they don’t deploy it for the very purpose for the grasp for power, which is the conquest of Nigeria for the overlordship of the Fulani. The final stage of the grand plan to subdue Nigeria for Fulani overlordship are afoot and Buhari and his people cannot back out now. So a war has to be fought to resolve matters.

Our people say that you don’t strip a woman naked just to start looking. Nigeria has been stripped naked and with the RUGA monstrosity on the works, the next thing is to start the deployment of troops to protect RUGA in their various locations of development.

It was bound to happen that the Fulani who have been taking so much out of Nigeria and have succeeded in binding Nigeria hand and foot politically and economically, will take the wrong step into the abyss one day. The logical culmination of all the rapaciousness would be the last ditch attempt at the ultimate land grab, to seize the lands belonging to indigenous communities and hand it over to Fulani.

Internecine war in different RUGA locations and different fronts is therefore inevitable. Communities will rage to keep their land or lose it to their eternal shame and regret. Communities, particularly in Igboland will rather choose to be annihilated than lose their land to a hostile and predatory People.

Fulani have no land in Nigeria because they are not indigenous to Nigeria. They are migrants into Nigeria. The decision by the Fulani to seize land by force in Nigeria can only lead to war in the many places where this seizure will happen. The people must resist as of necessity. They have done so in the Central Africa Republic and reduced the country to rubble and they will do it again in Nigeria.

Buhari will be compelled to deploy police and soldiers to defend the settlements and war will be declared everywhere there is a RUGA settlement in Nigeria. Fulani have no land to hold dear and protect in Nigeria. In fact, Fulani have no stake or investment in the project called Nigeria and will not care if Nigeria burns, in fact Fulani will be very willing to let Nigeria burn if the people are not willing to submit to their overlordship.

So they are minded to adopt a scorched earth policy to obliterate Nigeria. They have nothing to lose. They did it in CAR and they will do same in Nigeria. It will be the responsibility of the indigenous people of Nigeria to find common grounds to protect the land of their ancestral inheritance and prevent the Fulani from putting a knife on their unity and their need to bind themselves together in one nation, but they cannot do this without first containing the Fulani. Fulani will try to divide them.

Buhari and the Fulani oligarchs are counting strongly on deploying the armed forces to quell insurrections that will arise from this massive land grab, but that will be the Achilles heel of their grand plan. Once soldiers are armed to put down these insurrections, they will turn against their commanders to defend their communities. Nigerians should therefore await the great unravelling of their armed forces.

Do the Fulani have the firepower, the men and the capacity to fight? In the entire history of the Nigerian armed forces, the Hausa/Fulani officers and enlisted men have always been promoted far beyond their qualifications and competencies. The capacity to fight and man the different departments of modern warfare will be put to overwhelming test in any ensuing encounter.

The Fulani never fight an enemy in a frontal war. They attack isolated and undefended villages. In any direct confrontation, they run away. It was evident even in the battle of Bangui. Well armed Fulani soldiers could not take on street gangs with flint guns and machetes. It has also shown in the war against Boko Haram. The poor performance of commanders of their ethnic stock is a bad joke among soldiers in the front.

Hausa/Fulani soldier had to be sorted out and protected from slaughter by Boko Haram forces. This is not to talk of unending betrayals of their Christian colleagues and commanders in the battlefront.

Buhari, a Fulani irredentist, will use to his advantage and for the benifits of his agenda to divide, the ethnic and religious cleavages among the people of Nigeria. But the people aught to know that the Fulani are friends to no one and that a Fulani friend today can become an adversary tomorrow. You are only friend to Fulani for as long as you continue to serve a purpose in their overall plan.
Let the talk cease and the battle begin. @basilokoh.

Will the people listen to obasanjo this time?

Some people are foolishly saying Ruga should be built in the north instead of saying there should be no ruga in any part of Nigeria. If Ruga is built in kano and is populated by Fulani from Niger republic, how do you prevent that Fulani from crossing from kano to Ibadan or Enugu tomorrow?

This is the time to stop the building of any Ruga settlement for foreign Fulani people to come and occupy
