victorels:
I don't think any school farm is affected. But school farm focus on some cross like maize, cassava. They hardly goes on perishable. It is business for them.

I mean farms outside the school, how do students acquire practical knowledge if they do not interact with the local farmers?

victorels:
the farms that was affected are farms owned by peasants. Peasants own 90% of farms in Nigeria. They work alone and hardly receive any agricultural extension services because the government has no support for those programs in Nigeria. The universities are just hearing the news like we are doing now. They had no knowledge of this prio to this total loss. It is still a government issue in line with the illiteracy of the peasants. Standard private farms do have technical experts that monitors their farms and they are the ones making gains of this tomato crises in Nigeria.

Am in no way absolving the government at all level from blame but saying the universities are just hearing the news like we are doing now and they had no knowledge of it prior to this total loss proves that they are disconnected from their surrounding communities or don't the faculty and students in the department of Agric Extension department go on field study?

victorels:
you are getting it wrong. GOVERNMENT and private sectors are not supporting the education sector. They work independently from the education sector. On consultation was made with the Nigerian universities. If it is true that they did send delegates to kenya, it is an eye service or avenue for looting.

BBC reported about the trip yesterday. Even if the universities were not consulted, shouldn't they have boldly told Nigerians they have the solutions to checkmate the menace? Last week here in Nairobi, l watched on TV some Professors discussing issues around vegetable farming and packaging and they made reference to what Nigeria is going through regarding tomatoes and how it could be controlled using tested methods.

Since am not in Nigeria, are there suggestions made to arrest the situation that was ignored?

Tall ladies around her.

Audu Ogbeh has made no impact on the sector despite being a farmer himself!

For El-Rufai to send over his officials to come over to Kenya to get the solution to the crisis, which is so readily available here in Kenya, is an indictment on our Research institutes and Faculties of Agriculture!

The Governor should look into their plight as the state ranks lowest in the South east in terms of human capital development.

Unfortunately drivers will tamper the devices fitted in their vehicles. Kenyan drivers have made rubbish of the devices since 2014!

Does anything apart from 'Evil and Wickedness' come out of the SW these days?

Just an observation......

Evil is everywhere.

Well some insists infidelity is a man's right ......he exercised his. It is now between him and his creator. Imagining what his wife and children (if any) will be going through now.

"When the girl put to bed, it was Pastor Dan that named the baby but only gave out the first name without revealing the father's name. Then we elders decided to confront to hear the truth but instead of explaining, he got angry and began to lay curses on people".......Daddy G.O!

That is nice.

Mr Maigar was reported as saying officials from the ministry of agriculture have gone to Kenya to meet experts on the Tomato Leaf Miner......This is an indictment of our many Schools and faculties of Agriculture!

What was really binding PDP all these years?

The owner is not ashamed of her identity!

NOTE: Preference will be given to qualified candidates from the following States: Bayelsa, Borno, Gombe, Jigawa, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Nasarawa, Niger, Rivers, Sokoto, Taraba, Yobe, Zamfara and FCT........For a school in the South west?

Yawns!

Go pay the fine and collect your number plates.

These two got me laughing!

Confronting fear of conflict can go a long way in minimizing the possibility of one arising. The armed herdsmen will certainly have something to think about. All l want is that the hunters be properly co-ordinated.

I hope the Senate and Bayelsa State Government have keyed into made-in-Naija @innosonmotors #BuyNaijaToGrowTheNaira as charity begins at home.

Seen.

She is just ageless!

Hian!

So sad, just wasted 2 previous lives.

With these pictures one need not be told that Nigeria does not have a functional wildlife service.........try this in Kenya and wake up from a nightmare!

In the last days, there will be..............May the Lord take control.

PDP drama is even helping the APC government in distracting some Nigerians from the fuel and electricity issues.....what an opposition!

Is there no "world class hospital" in Nigeria to treat him?

Thank God!

Sijo01:
Your right.
My first post was on a lighter note though.

Noted.

Though the human mind is wired to reason but also very fragile and when it snaps, things one hitherto regarded as darkness will become "light"! We daily live by God's grace.

No one has a monopoly of violence.
