Is there any juice processing plant there?

They are both two sides of the same coin!

No one can vouch with his/her life that money was not misappropriated which led to avoidable deaths of civilians and military personnel. This should not be about politics but justice.

She got mixed up with the Islamist state elements and got herself blown off.

Only 2 candidates really count!

Sad.

As long as every State is collecting monthly allocation from the national treasury, there is no justification for the discrimination along the lines of Indigene and non-Indigenes.

They should get who represents him resolved.

So sad.

@Pavore9, I can't really thank you enough for this job weldone. I have some questions as touching this vertical Farming. 1. Can I use ordinary sacks, since I want to do it in small quantity. 2. Can one plant pepper and what type will be okay. Thanks.

Since you are experimenting, you start with ordinary sack bag though the durability will be shorter since it will regularly get in touch with water. On the surface, you can try out any pepper you want they by the sides you can try vegetables like green, lettuce, then spices like curry, coriander. Make seed beds for them and transplant afterwards.

He's talking about huge enterprises not SMEs. At least dika nwāfo Anambra I ma maka akuko Ibēto na innoson na ahuhu ha gabigara n'aka ochichi etiti OBJ

Abum onye imo ma na abirim Awka. I understand big business needs to flow with politicians but my focus is on social enterprise, teach others to empower themselves mostly funded by foreign donors. No Governor will be against a project that will stop women cutting down trees for firewood in the face of the menace of erosion we face in igboland.

my dear have yiu forgotten that just a political policy can ruin that dream why do you think dangote aligned himself with politicians to achieve his goals my brother

A political policy will never affect what l have in mind as no one can stop me growing strawberries on my plots of land as am just like another farmer who is growing the traditional cassava. It is they the politicians who will come to me because l am into something unique, I did a Rice project in Anambra State when Peter Obi was in office, it was even the then Secretary to the State Government, Sir Odenigbo that signed off a Land Rover Defender 101 which the government was no longer using, for the project and for keeps. If you are into social enterprise, government agencies will tend to identify with you. I speak from experience.

carinmom:
Looks like the Muslims or Northerners are not the only ones involved in this, what then can you say about John Trankil? And if after a deadly explosion that left scores dead this is what you have to write then i smh for you.

You need not shake your head for me. For every John Trankil, how many Muslims who grew up in such picture l painted earlier? We also do have Muslims in the South west but tend to value formal education and do not give out their daughters at such young age thwarting their opportunity to actualize themselves.

Read the post, then saw the signature and knew it was you.....qoute me anywhere

Forming familiarity!

Brooklynsouth:
of course no one ll stop u from entering your father's compound we are not barbarians like nigerians but you ll never have a stake to any political office in BIAFRALAND but you can vote and not be voted for . I believe your moral conscience won't let you go back to your vomit

In as much as political office do not and will never tickle me 'but you ll never have a stake to any political office in BIAFRALAND' makes laugh! My conscience is so alive that l am thinking when to visit Nigeria, travel down to the South east to set up projects around biogas where our women will no longer have to cut firewood to fry garri, how to preserve their farm harvests for 2 weeks without the use of electricity and will no longer be forced to give it away at a ridiculously low price.

Though the South east is small in land mass because the entire size of Anambra State is 4,844 km² while Akampa Local Government Area which is just one Local Government Area in Cross River 5,003 km². With my expertise l can harvest 2,000kg of Strawberries on a monthly basis on a 50ft by 100ft plot of land anywhere in Igboland! So my brother l do not need Biafra nor a political office to make an impact!

I was actually baffled when I first learnt of these developments. While Kenya's Brookside has seen the dairy potential in Nigeria and are planning on setting up a plant here, Dangote is planning on setting up his in Kenya. So, I asked myself why, wouldnt it be cheaper in the long run for Dangote to setup a Mega Dairy farm/plant in Nigeria instead? But then again, he is a business man with a unique foresight.

Dangote is heading to Kenya to produce dry milk while Brookside is eyeing Nigeria for fresh milk, yoghurt etc Like you said he has his unique foresight.

Canola is 3 months crop circle and our warm weather is well suited for it. 4kg-5kg of the seeds produce one litre of Canola oil and the husks of the crushed seeds is then used for Animal feed thus increasing daily milk production. A litre of Canola oil is sold for N800 here.

You got the right feeling I can tell you that, cos I have also been motivated by the booming dairy industry in Kenya. I have watch quite a few of the old episodes on youtube, and would be glad to see more...sometimes, I feel saddened that a country with enormous potential such as ours, could not replicate 1/10th of Kenya's achievement in this field. I hope the agricultural renaissance in Nigeria changes all that.

We grew up with the stereotyped thought that fresh milk can only be associated with the nomadic Fulani herdsmen and many of us grew up on powdered milk which Kenyans can not relate to. They are used to getting fresh milk from the dispensing machines or ones packed in pore water sachets sized packs.

Kenya has about 1.8 million small holder diary farmers which a minimum of two cows, you can imagine the millions of litres produced daily not to talk of the big boys like Brookside who are even eyeing to set up a milk plant in Nigeria while Dangote announced plans to set up a factory in Kenya to produce dry milk for local and export markets.

When someone in Akwa Ibom, Enugu, Edo, Ondo becomes convinced he can successfully run a diary farm, the change will be felt.

1) Farm hydroponic fodder lab

2) 4 days old sorghum fodder

3) farm feed concentrates + bovine medications

Loving what am seeing, l am feeling Kenya in your farm! Good you have adopted hydroponics, reduces cost on feeding. I wish you did watch the episode on Kenya's NTV Seeds of Gold on diary farming it would have been of a great advantage to you as it highlighted a diary farm and its processes as one gets to know about silage production and there were Professors on ground who were giving practical advice. The farm produces a litre of milk at N38. I hope in the coming weeks the episode will be uploaded on YouTube, I will then send you a link to down load.

I recently advised another Nigerian who is also here in Nairobi that since he has interest in milk production and in the future would love to set up diary farm in Nsukka, he should be making out time to go understudy diary farms here in order to earn practical experience.

Do you know about Canola seeds?

This induces laughter.........

He is still a hero in the hearts of the igbos.

This is no 1985 picture but the minister looks like a Capone!

itstpia8:
everywhere has mineral deposits.

there is no place without them.

You are free to Google.

Kolongo one, tafawa balewa......we too razz1

When l do have the time, l will package and snap my N100 'ajebutter' breakfast!

Deadly formation!

itstpia8:
the fact is there is no place on earth without mineral deposits in whatever form.

Singapore has no mineral deposits but a first world economy.

The fanaticism there is what is giving boko haram the leeway, with the way their minds have been conditioned most would prefer the carnage to the ban!
