There is strength in unity, nice one.

A radio presented yesterday asked him to withdraw the previous statement as it was causing panic buying and hoarding by marketers, this is why they have come out with this new lie.

Very good!

Is it that dis people no dey finish or what? Every day military dey capture and kill, so how many dem bi sef? Hope say dis NA no dey lie

No wonder they keep saying Sai Buhari even in this harsh economic climate so this is how they make their money?

In the North again?

It seems Obama is reading Buhari's lips

Buhari is well known for my thinking before he talks. This is why he makes so many irrational mistakes.

N150 to N180.

Buhari's probing of NSA started from 2012 because this is simply a case of personal vendetta and nothing else. Some Nigerians will continue to be gullible because their minds and hearts are filled with hate and bitterness towards GEJ's administration such that even when the truth is obvious they would rather live in denial.

Buhari is a certified national failure

I just bought fuel @N180/ltr.

No Pix? Lies again

One of the greatest impediments to the progress of the black man and the black race is our inability to read, our inability to discern and our inordinate urge to 'respond' even before we listen.

The article simply exposes the ignorance of all those castigating the plan to import high nutrient grass seedlings for cultivation in Nigeria. This firstly, is standard practice in agriculture all over the world, but common sense is obviously not too common especially when political sentiments are involved. I can swear on my life that 95% of the respondents above did not read beyond the 3rd line, but mostly read the title and proceeded to comment. Maybe if they read the article, they would have firstly realised it was written by an independent veterinarian and not the minister (as the title implies) and they would have also seen some sensible points.

If it takes decades of research to genetically create a new specie of high nutrient grass which has the capacity to boost beef and milk production beyond our imagination, then my common sense tells me it is definitely silly trying to re-invent the wheel; the sensible thing to do is to take the short-cut by simply obtaining those already optimised grass seedlings and growing them here in Nigeria. Just the same way we imported improved flood resistant rice seedlings some years back which has in no little way contributed to the rice revolution in different parts of Nigeria today. For clarity for those who are oblivious of this, "grass is not grass" and there is a reason why people spend several years studying agriculture in the university and research institutes even when our great grand fathers knew exactly how to sow and reap basic food crops.

A point of note in the article is milk production, Nigeria imports over 90% of the milk it consumes spending over $200m annually on this. A typical Nigerian milk cow produces 200kg of milk annually whereas a typical European milk cow produces up to 6500kg of milk annually, i.e. over 3000% more milk production. The main difference is the nutritional content of the feedstock these cows consume. Ironically, the same people who protest the plan to import improved grass seedlings (for planting) to improve our beef and milk production do not protest the billions we spend importing milk yearly; these same people (probably because of warped political logic) did not also see anything wrong when improved rice seedlings were imported few years back to help boost Nigeria's rice production capacity.

What I find most disheartening about these comments I have quoted is that most of the respondents here are youths, educated youths; and then we begin to wonder why the old have refused to relinquish power. They may claim not to be agriculturists, but that is definitely no excuse for this ignorance because anyone with even partial education should be able to discern these things. If only we can sometimes purge our minds of flimsy political sentiments, then some of these things are just common sense.

Okay, i want to know why they can't just import samples and then modify them, why spend millions importing, instead of bringing in samples

Hahahahahahah

Na real crase world we dey

But why the sudden interest in Cows na?

Failure in almost every ministry
Health

OP, this is why you should desist from posting your private issues on a public forum like this, unless you want to break your home.

Hunger leads to anger, anger will lead to restiveness, restiveness will lead to war

It seems this party is not ready to let go of the oil producing state. This will be their undoing.

Apc Zombies you mean to say.

Yes

It seems INEC in collaboration with the accused are looking for reasons to cancel the results of the election. Let's hope they find none and declare it instead.

Unfortunately corruption will thrive in this situation and some certain people with easy access to forex at the official rates will definitely grow richer, this decision by the government not to devalue our currency works in their favor.

55 years after independence we are still battling with this issue, when will we get it right

Some pay-per-post APC supporters will not like this

Na only lying liars go talk say dem dey enjoy am.

Fear God, GEJ is being vindicated back to back

Why did you threaten her with competition? You are breeding resentment, wish you well

She's lucky, some will change once their circumstances change, God bless your marriage
