We need to be careful of the foods we consume. I went to my regular cafeteria one day, they served beans, Omo, just one look at it, i stood up, paid the fee and left. From beans, to mangoes, to citruses, tomatoes, we're been flooded. It's not just about having sound professionals in the ministries.How about being productive? We have millions of arable lands, who stopped us from farming them? We deserve it. We've failed God. Why should Africa be fed by Europe? We've all failed God.We've failed !
my mum no longer buy a particular brand of semo just because she prepared it and we had a leftover, so we forgot to throw it out to the goats till after about a week pluss before noticing it, the semo was still looking fresh, she never give the goats again sef, she was like, how come when it wasnt kept in the refrigerator.

government'd rather try to use our resources to find oil in deserts. Oil was and is still our greatest undoing, just made us lazy. look at the japs now

Yes on paper, it takes five years for G.M crops to be tested before release into market. That's a facade and an unpracticed lie.

Secondly, given the slow transition in molecular formation in the body, do you think 5 years is adequate given the long term consequences of altered genes and molecules?

Back in the 90s ordinary research takes a minimum of 10-15 years before they get introduced to the market, today everything proliferates the society with no pause.

How about feeding them to animals over a long term, and introduce them in the secondary chain of consumption. Animals feeds on them, humans feeds on animals. While genet.

ic modificatio.n has immense advantages, we need a slow approach to test its implications. As a scientist, i'm in support of first exhausting the resources we have for food produce and then allying new techniques.

There are over 1 Billion hectares of unused arable land on earth, 70% of the world is water which can be channelled for food production, so what's the craze for " rushed bios.ynth.esized food pro.duce"

Good course. Na real career suicide.

you can transfer your knowledge bro, remember you have love ones that your input in the system might affect.
I know cost of start up isnt feasible, but you can opt for a periodic training in conjunction with our few research centres so you get to train our students with same ideals.
No use our crazy rulers determine your scope of support to the nation.

I'm a cross-border researcher... Molecular Biochemistry But i spend time also on Chemistry, Engineering and research in Physics



I'll draw some stuffs quickly about the brain and neuorology with the little i know about

it, and what i feel my spirit/heart is telling me to communicate.


It's annoying to just keep writing, researching and stockpiling. I've stopped reading. It's too tedious to put in such efforts and then it ends up under the bed. Many of my researches i can't find again self

[quote author=tzoracle post=62403624][/quote]I see you brother.

Have you noticed the way the dullards running Africa do yes sir, yes sir to their fellow leaders from outside Africa? gringrin

I'll be like, TF is wrong with these people, even engineer from outside will be feeling like Lord because our ruling dullards give them the god-treatment.

Have you ever seen any intelligent African behave in that yes sir, yes sir nonsense behavior? And when I say intelligent I'm not talking about this whitewashed education o.
I mean a real intelligent person whose brilliance can be seen in his wide bright eyes,(you know that kind intelligence na).


We better send intelligent people to help these ruling dullards cos I know the dullards will die before power is taken from them like what's going on in Zimbabwe now.


I have a friend with the Nigerian army currently in maiduguri and the guy was complaining about the country blah blah blah.....

I told him to kip kwayet for they're the same ones holding the idiots in power.

True. Look out for things like that.


Nigeria imports 80% of its wheat from both USA and SouthAfrica, now if these countries themselves eat only non-GMO Wheat, who then is eating the GMO Wheat they're cultivating on a large scale?

If you mean the Indian dudes, I can tell you that work is going on but you won't know of it. Only results will be spoken of publicly.

Sorry for having to experience such, it's the result of a failed state.


Majority of Indians love mother India so much and are ready to sacrifice anything for her.
