Since wheat grew before in Ife, then it can grow again with some concentrated genetic modification..

Everything is now centered on GMO. It’s implications are far reaching in a negative light for humans.

mrvitalis:
Bro it's just 1000 years ago so whether won't change much

I said extract the genes of the wheat that's enough we don't need samples... We can engineer a wheat closest to it to become it

Bros 1,000 years long o, the climate of an area can change in just 1 century (100 years).
GMO wheat

mrvitalis:
If wheat grew in Ife yeas ago why can't we grow it now?

The species should be analyzed let's see if we can extract some genes from it so we can formulate morden wheats to grow in sub Saharan Africa... Once that's done it would change a lot

Did you actually read what was posted and if you did where was your powers of deduction?

Wheat does not grow in humid environments so clearly at the time the weather is Ife was not that humid. Weather patterns change over time.

RepoMan007:
may have been used for other things asides bread.

i googled uses of wheat. and all i can find is wheat is primarily used for making flour

so the question is - what would they have been cultivating wheat for, and why has that food not survived to this day?

all our staple meals from crops we cultivated in the past are still around.

so if we cultivated wheat, whatever we cultivated it for should still be with us to this day

Hehe but now ife people dey shout ebi pa wa 😅

Na cos of bad leadership my brother. Our people like deceit and propaganda. Isn't it serving them right? May Pa Awo's soul rest in peace. A great agricultural revolutionist and a leader par excellence

GMO wheat

Is wheat u are eating now not GMO?

Eriokanmi:
Amazing! Political have made a lot of people become lazy. The majority of those in the senate have abandoned their businesses. I support the regional government, if well spelt-out. The likes of Ado Doguwa who's always parading his cache of wives as his own achievement will go back to farm because wastages will be cut to size at the centre.

Pa Awo, may your soul RIP. He remains the only politician with the love of the masses at heart. He believed agriculture was the only way to prosperity and end to poverty. Not only was he preaching this, he also walked the talk. Any government that can build the likes of OAU, Odua Investments today will take trillions of naira worth of world bank loan.

How can someone travel to the Americas and bring home a weed and spray it on such a vast land as that of the south west and south south (incl the old bendel state) with helicopter, just to make soil fertile naturally? That's what we call the akintola weed today. Awolowo remains the only politician with the love of the masses at heart...not those buying private jets while their sons are buying estates overseas.

My question is where do we get it wrong that almost all our politicians including the masses are fanatically corrupt, aside the tribal and religion sentiments.
I hope we'll be able to retract our steps someday

GeneralPula:
Perhaps, evolution. Series of gradual life changes..

You know things are never the same in life. It’s always a series of evolution and gradual changes..

You are very sensible human being.

According to history, Ife has evolve in 3 phases.

1) Ife Oodaye

2) Ife OOye

3) Ile-Ife: which is the present day Ife.

good reasoning. Though semovita and the rest are possible. Even chicken food uses could have preserved it.

mrvitalis:
There is a lot we can learn from it genes

Yes, for sure..

You’re right..

A good genetic engineer will be able to discover things to learn..

michelz:
I can't say that I'm surprised.
The great Igbo race populated around there then and very possibly engaged in various agricultural and technological activities. Some of them later migrated towards their present location now.

Thunder will fire you if you're not careful.

lexy2014:
Why has it not grown again all this while?

Ifè is too Humid now and Wheat is a Temperate Crop. Now, what the government can do is to assemble some genetics engineer to modify some wheat’s and test run it..

If result is positive, it means wheat can still grow - a genetically modified wheat..

I am still wondering how a nation like Nigeria which was on a path of greatness missed the way.

Abi. Do we have a choice? You see as life keeps changing. If we do not go GMO way, some foods might perish totally..

GMO is why we’re still able to see some consumable foods today. That’s what they do in advance countries. Evolution change is no joke. It affects every little thing.

Ovulariana:
Ok how is the study useful to our present day suffering?

all Africans do is eat and not have fun....come to think of it, your ancestors have been eating and not documenting research and observatory which is why you rely on others ancestors because they documented argued and established which is essential for growth in any civilization...

In just 40 years Lake Chad has almost dried up.

Clearly you still remain daft and lack critical thinking abilities. Stop posting like an uneducated ignoramus.

If wheat cannot grow in humid environments, if Ife is currently considered humid and wheat once grew extensively in Ife, then it stands to reason that the climatic conditions in Ife were conducive for wheat (i.e not humid) at some point in the past.

BTW 5000yrs ago was 3000 BC. What does an ignoramus like you know about weather conditions 5000 yrs ago. Do you know London was once sunny?

Can u formulate the weather too?

That's a lake

You are an example that being able to regurgitate answers in an exam is neither proof of intelligence nor evidence of good education but merely a test of memory.

What causes a lake to shrink, while at the same time towns/cities in other locations to sink?

Jesus wept!

Are these the same white archeologist that claim to have discovered Jollof Rice originated from the Wolof tribe in Senegal .

Have u read about lake Chad? Most of The river supplying it dried up its a normal thing na

When u have a body of water it Everporates na this happened 10s thousands of years ago

Read about the mega lake cad it's far far bigger than this nearly the whole Chad was under water

I suspect wheat over the years have been modified to encourage quicker germination and harvest so this could have altered a lot in the gene along the line.

Evolution isn’t a process to be tampered with. Man has turned himself to a god and want a desirable outcome. Imagine someone with evil intentions? Your submission are valid, but what is the end game of GMO?

I suggest you collect a refund from all the educational institutions you have attended in life and if possible start again from crèche.

If that is not possible, I suggest you stop displaying your ignorance and stop digging a bigger hole for yourself.

I am amazed you cannot see the stupidity in what you just posted. May you not be arrested on mere suspicion of a crime because in your brazen lack of intelligence you will be the one supplying the evidence without even realizing it.
