Orji Kalu no matter what you write about yourself, it won't change our opinion about you as one of the worst Governors in this country and a major obstacle to the development of Abia State.
It is therefore our opinion and advise for you never to waste your money attempting to view for the office of President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Please be guide.

The man is a fool to think he matters in Nigeria politics. That's why he's behaving like a mad man by dressing like a northern person whenever he wants to visit buhari or any hausa man.

I am afraid for this country because the government are very very slow

From #endsars# to #enswat and the youth keep coming out daily with people sponsoring their foods and drink maybe with tfare and the government see no reasons to answer them timely and call back ASUU to keep them busy and also create jobs

This is revolution and very soon they might also be supplied arms and I pray it dont come to that

All these years SARS were busy killing people the government did nothing to stop them

I was lucky to escape been killed just for telling a SARS man to pay for the beer he drank in a poor widow shop

Government should pls endsars and send them to maduguri to assist soldiers in the fight against boko haram

Then we are sure they are not same set of miscreants.
All those that head the unit in the pass should be ask to resign

Government should also take the words of papa Aďeboye (GO RCCG) seriously because that is the truth

The truth is better but learn to swallow it

We voted Apc then thinking things will be better thinking pdp was bad but now things are worst.No food ;No job and the youth after school no job force to Yahoo Yahoo
This was not what they promised us...The blood of those that have died as a result of hunger and poor medical care b upon all corrupt politicians head
APC IS A FRAUD AS WELL AS PDP INFACT ALL THE PARTIES
let the youth come up let us take over government from these old men .let the youth join politics
Nigerians should vote for the youth and stop selling votes just because of Indomie,salt and 1k

Also want the youth to remember we have other areas of interest

PHCN .....they gave only me 42k a month in this hard economy no job
Corrupt politician...let's gather in front of their houses until they are brought to book

And many more..#oneNigeria#
I

We were deceived, we didn't know that they are a collection of terrorists, to be honest, from top to bottom, APC = scam, APC = terrorists.

MAGG0T:
Failed state with Useless President and Muppet VP.

A saner society would have addressed the issue ongoing in the country through live broadcast..but we have punk as a president who waits for his useless cabals to advise him on what to do..

When it comes to defending nonsense, osibande will come blow grammar. But to chop money, na hausa man go chop. Osibande don suffer sha

Afamed:
The question should be. Who are the financiers of the ISIS if not the US

The DEMONS of course. They dont like to see the world in peace. That's why they attached so much sentiments in their campaign. The DEMONS are evil. Unfortunately the yeye Americans don't know because they are more interested in stoopeed things like marrying animals, killing unborn babies, man marry man, woman marry woman, man marry anything.
After trump is gone, america will suffer in the hands of terrorists.

“I will stand my ground and maintain my position that under my watch, [the] old Nigeria is slowly but surely disappearing and a new era is rising in which we grow what we eat and consume what we make.”
President Buhari, December 14, 2016

“We are determined to change Nigeria from an import dependent country to a producing nation. We must become a nation where we grow what we eat and consume what we produce.”

President Buhari, April 5, 2017

*
President Buhari is determined to ensure that Nigeria grows what it eats and produces what it consumes. He has been determined to ensure this since he assumed office in 2015. One of the first significant programs he launched was the Anchor Borrowers Program, led and underwritten by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

Since then, Agriculture initiatives like the Presidential Fertilizer Initiative (PFI), FarmerMoni, Livestock Productivity and Resilience Support Project (L-PRES), NIRSAL Agro Geo-Cooperatives Scheme, NIRSAL Multi-Peril Crop Indemnity-Index Insurance, Agriculture for Food and Jobs Plan (AFJP), N-Power Agro, and others, have been launched to support the presidential vision to revolutionize Agriculture in Nigeria. Many State Governments and Private Investors are equally keying into this Presidential vision, with emerging positive results, including but not limited to the following:

1. In Kaduna and Kwara States, Olam invested $150 million to build Nigeria’s largest integrated animal feed mill, poultry breeding farm and day-old-chick (DOC) hatchery, and an integrated poultry and fish feed mill, respectively. These game-changing investments were commissioned in 2017.

2. Ekiti State Government is partnering with Promasidor to revive the hitherto abandoned Ikun Dairy Farm. The project has seen a 5-million dollar investment from Promasidor. At full capacity, the Dairy farm will produce over 10,000 litres of milk per day, and employ more than 1,000 workers. In addition, a new rice mill is under construction in Ado Ekiti.

3. In Kebbi, in May 2020, GB foods opened a 20 billion Naira Tomato Processing Factory, and adjoining farm, the second largest factory in Nigeria and the only fully backward integrated plant in ECOWAS – and has the largest single tomatoes farm in Nigeria. When fully completed (all phases), the factory will be the largest fresh tomatoes processing factory in Sub-Saharan Africa. The farm will produce industrial tomatoes in the dry season and soya beans in the rainy season. The soya bean oil will be used to manufacture GBfoods' Mayonnaise.

4. In Ogun, GB Foods in July 2020 opened its N5.5 billion state-of-the-art mayonnaise production factory in Sango, Ogun State. The soya beans to serve the plant will be farmed in its brand new farm in Kebbi State.

5. In Anambra, a year ago, October 2019, Coscharis commissioned its brand new Rice Mill, a 40,000 MT modular Mill. A second phase of 80,000MT capacity is under construction. Total investment by Coscharis comes to about 12 billion Naira. Prior to that, in 2016 the Company began growing rice on its own farms, and now has more than 2,500 hectares under cultivation.

6. Lagos State is building a 32-Metric-Ton per hour Rice Mill in Imota, one of the largest Rice Mills in Africa. It will produce 2.4 million bags of 50kg per annum, and create an estimated 250,000 jobs. It will source its rice from other States across the country, leveraging on the Anchor Borrowers Program of the Central Bank.

7. In 2018, Cross River commissioned its brand new 3 billion Naira Hybrid Rice Seedlings Factory to supply seedlings nationwide. The Factory, commissioned by President Buhari, is part of CrossRice, a multi-billion Naira Commercial Agriculture Development Project promoted by the Cross River State Rice Company Management Board, the Central Bank of Nigeria and Sterling Bank.

8. Under the Presidential Fertilizer Initiative, which launched in January 2017, a total of 22 blending plants were resuscitated as at the end of 2019, with a combined installed capacity of over 2.5 million metric tonnes. In that period more than 18 million 50kg bags of Fertilizer produced and supplied for sale. Prior to the launch of the PFI, only 4 fertilizer blending plants were in operation in Nigeria, running at 10% capacity utilization.

9. In Lagos, Dangote Group is building a 2-billion-dollar Fertilizer Plant that will be the biggest in the world, with a production capacity of 3 million tons of urea and ammonia per annum. It will commence production in the first quarter of 2021. It will make Nigeria the leading exporter of Urea in sub-Saharan Africa. Dangote Group in 2016 also launched a Rice Outgrower Scheme covering 150,000 hectares of land in Kebbi, Sokoto, Zamfara, Kano, Niger and Jigawa States, and is also building a 16MT/hour Rice Mill in Jigawa State, the first of six Rice Mills planned across the above-mentioned States.

10. In Ondo State, Nigeria’s leading grower of cocoa, a 9 billion Naira Chocolate Factory has just been commissioned in September 2020, with the capacity to produce 2.8 million tonnes of chocolate per annum. According to the Governor, to guarantee the supply of cocoa beans to the factory, a 1,700-hectare cocoa plantation has been revived, with 250 farmers.

11. The 2020 Wet Season Harvesting has commenced; with it will come a moderation in food prices. For example, Ogun State started harvesting Rice in August (the rice was planted in March). The State is developing hundreds of hectares of rice at Rice Hubs across 10 LGAs of the State, under the Value Chain Development Programme (VCDP), a partnership between the Federal Government and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). Also under the VCDP, women farmers in Niger State are seeing a four-fold increase in rice yields. In the Hadejia River Valley in Jigawa State, which was largely spared the devastating floods that affected parts of Northwest Nigeria, Rice Harvesting has also commenced.

12. The National Food Security Council (chaired by President Buhari, with Kebbi State Governor as Vice Chair) has met twice in recent weeks to tackle the issues of flooding and rising food prices. Relief interventions are being made available to the farmers affected by the flooding in Kebbi and other parts of the Northwest, and they are gradually bouncing back and preparing to re-plant. Parts of the Southwest that had previously suffered shortfalls of rain are also now seeing a reversal of this situation.

“Through the food security initiative, we are promoting “Grow What We Eat” and “Eat What We Grow”. I am also delighted that more and more Nigerians are taking advantage of the opportunities in the agriculture and agri-business sector.”

President Buhari, June 12, 2020

In your mind you've said something reasonable abi? Continue to loot this country dry in the guise of agric revolution. You all go to jail when another government takes over.

President Buhari, June 12, 2020

Nonsense post, how much dem pay you to write this rubbish. Two or three things are certain: either you are:
1. Eating what falls from buhari's table
2. Fanatic
3. You don't have any responsibility like taking care of relatives or immediate family.

If after three to four years Nigerians feeding is gradually becoming impossible for many Nigerians, then we are not making any progress.
Question is, how much is local rice that we produce in this country?
How much is maize that we produce in this country?
And other agricultural produce that we locally produce? The chicken feeds you are talking about, how is it now compared to last four to five years?
Do you know much a day old chick is sold now compared to last four to five years?
This is nothing but to show your fanatic love or because a beneficiary of this failed government. One thing you don't know or you won't say is that OLAM ships most of their products abroad especially to their country of origin which is India.
The entire staff in Olam are casual staffers no matter how long they may have worked with them.
We will continue to pray to God deliver us from this SCAM government of yours in which you promote.
But remember, this your post doesn't make sense compare to the reality on ground. Have a rethink not all of us are fools.

Sleevia:
From all indications, Obaseki has won this election but two things stood out unexpectedly

1. It was generally peaceful

2. There was zero federal might influence.

What do you think is the reason behind this?

I would hazard a guess and I am open to correction.

A: The U.S visa ban restricted federal influence, which Oshiomole, Ganduje and Tinubu were banking on. I was on twitter when I read that order has been given that there should be no interference in the election. This was why, after votes at the PU were done, all security agents, from Army to Police and others LEFT.

B. The Oba of Benin meeting. Before the election, Oba invited both contestants for a meeting where he specifically warned against violence in whatever form. I often read from outsiders that Oba of Benin is just like any oba out there but what majority do not know is the weight the Oba of Benin carries among his people and this election further proved that.

Since the APC took power, this is the most peaceful election we have had...

The question is WHY?

Please join the discussion and I would like to learn from other persons and correct me where you feel I am wrong

Imagine if Buhari and his cohorts are banned from going to UK for medical treatment or business transactions. They have businesses out there. We all know they have one sickness or the other. They can't afford to play with their health.

yungboss:
hi bimmer fans, i use an e36 94 320i. Since August 2011, I've not had major issues apart from things like ball joints, tie rod, shocks...power steering pump and fuel pump...changed two tyres and what else...ok nothing. Contrary to what i read or hear about poor reliability, the car is the best in reliability as far as i'm concerned. I hope to buy a 2004 or '03 e46 330i next year. I'm currently making contacts for a 1998 M3 sedan,which i hope to pick up if a good deal pulls through. As stated above,the car has a low ground clearance, my street is being worked on so I park in an adjoining street pending when on going work is completed. I changed my gear oil and filter yesterday, used the normal abro fluid...super visco 2000 (20w50...too heavy I guess, but I'll use 5w40 next time) No issues thus far.

I love this thread:
I'm a fan of BMW, buy I've not owned a car before, would it be wise I start with BMW especially 321i?

How's the maintenance?
How much do I need to buy a good one from tuks or Nigerian used.

Hello, fellow Nairalanders.
I created this thread so that BMW owners, enthusiasts, etc. could have a thread to chat and discuss
anything about the Ultimate Driving Machine. Feel free to ask questions abt any model and those with
technical or owner-based knowlege can contribute. I looked for a BMW thread in this section but i didnt
find any. Also feel free to chip in tips on where owners can get reliable service, parts and general
mainenance of BMWs where u live. Thanx.

The core North is lost forever.

A combination of Islam and core North is too toxic to contain and it will always breed disaster.

The major reason is that they see Islam as a total way of life and they are too rigid to change and stuck with the Shariah law that already outlived its importance.

Some might say it’s lack of education but that’s wrong. The doctrine is too potent such that even intellectuals seems to be at the frontline of this brutality. That was why I said they are lost forever.

At least we Muslims in the south have learnt to differentiate Islam from culture which explained why all this rubbish cannot take hold here.

It’s really sad that the major leaders of the North continue to maintain culture of silence in this show of shame!

Esseite:
This would make the little clout that was empathetic to him desert him...a typical attitude of "if its not my way, it's no way"..

Well.. other Noble associations that have stood the test of time should ban El-rufai from public speaking, he can keep sponsoring parody associations.

There's no hopeless country like Nigeria in the whole wide world.
Elrufai was not disinvited because of his religion, but because of his attitude towards insecurity in his state. What these lawyers are saying is that Muslim lawyers are in support that Shekau must not be captured or jailed. Now this has become a religious issue, why won't wicked people in this country will not continue to do what they are doing?

For these lawyers to allow themselves to be used as a tool, its then true that northerners with the support of Yoruba's are the reasons this country remains the way it is.

If you live in Kaduna, you'll know that elrufai is a useless man. A leader that is highly sentimental, bias, and has made nepotism part of his life should be widely condemned.

Elrufai is bent on making sure that southern Kaduna amount to nothing. He ensures no investors go to southern Kaduna, even when investors come with the intention to site their industries in Kaduna south, he'll direct them to Zaria road instead. His hatred for southern Kaduna is obvious and in general he's a religious bigot. If you doubt, come to Kaduna state and see how he gives appointments.
