PoliticsRe: Restructure Now, Experts, Afenifere, Others Tell Buhari by Ralphdan(m): 1:52pm On Sep 03, 2016
searchiing4love:
sad Restructuring is not the solution but the present status quo. Restructuring is a cunny attempt by easterners to achieve biafra and it won't happen. History tells us Ojukwu was able to instigate the civil war because he was the head of Eastern region. If we go back to regionalism, non-entities like Nnamdi kanu will rise again and start pushing for biafra which is a bad omen for Nigeria. No part of the country must be allowed to split for no reason. Lord Luggard was an intellectual when he merged us together. There is strength in unity. Let's keep maintaining the present federal system till the Igbo's are patriotic enough to forget biafra sad

InvestmentMmm:how To Avoid The Scarm Ahead by Ralphdan(op): 8:24am On Sep 02, 2016
My fellow Nairalanders/Nigerians most of us have heard of a new money making machine called MMM Nigeria some are already taking part in it while some are skeptical about it due to the fear of being scammed.I can confirm that its true for now but the question is for how long will it be?We don't actually know the main reason behind its creation.Some say it may close down anyday.However I think the system can last for a very long time if not manipulated,thus if people keep giving help and receiving help it will keep running.But how are we sure the system will not be manipulated?

I think there is a way we can predict its fall if only we can help one another buy collectively watching the flow of money in the system. If our money keeps flowing in different directions at all point the system will keeps moving but If at a point our money starts moving toward one direction or few directions then it could be that the system is under manipulation.

So this what we can do, we can come under one whatsapp group and whenever we give help we share the perons/People account name and bank or account number and bank but not the full account detail and also share any problem we have with the system. By So doing we can be able to predict any possible fault and know what to do next.

Thus If you buy the idea drop your whatsapp digits and lets start already.

AgricultureRe: Genetic Modification And The Risks We Face by Ralphdan(op): 11:11pm On Aug 27, 2016
Rural uneducated farmers will also encounter difficulty with labelling of GM/ non GM crops as labelling is very important for consumer information in order to make a conscious choice. How will they label the produce they take to the market?

Dependency on foreign companies that created and control GM foods and agricultural practises is another point of consideration by its introduction.

Conspiracy theorists claim that it can lead to eugenics – modification of crops to encourage sterility of Africans, in line with what the former United States Secretary of State in the administrations of presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, wrote in 2013, “Depopulation should be the highest priority of foreign policy towards the third world, because the US economy will require large and increasing amounts of minerals from abroad, especially from less developed countries”

Minister for Agriculture. Akinwumi Adesina
Ministry of environment reaction

The Minister of Environment, Amina Mohammed has described the concerns raised about GM foods by the public as legitimate, stating that the Federal Ministry of Environment, in conjunction with the National Biosafety Management Agency (NBMA) is organising an experts meeting.

The meeting is to clarify Nigeria’s position on GMOs and will involve national agencies, civil society groups, and international organisations, with the sole aim to address all concerns expressed.

“Nigerians should be rest assured of the protection of the protection of their health and environment by the National Biosafety Management agency,” She said.

The United States of America is the largest consumer of GM foods, accounting for 60/70 percent of their processed food and is unable to manage it, where the DNAs of GM foods are found to have been passed to humans that consume them.

Gluten disorder has been connected to GMOs with 18 million Americans suffering from this disorder.

How would Nigeria with far lesser technological nous be able to manage and regulate it efficiently?

Countries like Germany, Japan, New Zealand, and in Africa, Zambia strongly oppose it, out-rightly banning GMOs from entering their country in most cases as most developed countries do not consider them to be safe.
AgricultureGenetic Modification And The Risks We Face by Ralphdan(op): 11:10pm On Aug 27, 2016
For a country blessed with soil fertility, arable land and rich in agriculture like Nigeria to even consider introducing GM foods to its food chain is beyond reproach. Nigerian soil is acclaimed the world over as one of the best in the world for crop cultivation
By definition, according to WHO, GMOs “are foods derived from organisms whose genetic material (DNA) has been modified in a way that does not occur naturally, e.g. through the introduction of a gene from a different organism.” They are also commonly called Frankenstein foods

The over-zealousness of the government and the lawmakers in introduction GMO to Nigeria and passing the Biosafety bill into law – which some experts have described as suicidal, is uncalled for in the wake of overwhelming scientific research and findings on the dangers of GMO.

The Nigerian government is certainly delving into what can be termed as ‘the cloud cuckoo land’ because too little is known about GM foods to consider it safe for consumption of Nigerians.

The fact that it is fraught with a lot of criticism as well as controversial should ensure the government thread carefully here.

Notwithstanding, Nigeria is a blessed land with a colossal agricultural potential, and so is the entire African continent. In that regard, should not result to GM foods but invest in agriculture for its people to harness the riches contained in its soil
The genetic modified companies have created an industry-generated myth that GMO foods are not only more nutritious with higher yielding but also require less pesticide and herbicides, thus, have better advantages over natural varieties.

However, sustainable natural varieties crop yield increases by 79 percent or higher, while GMOs yield little or not at all.

They also claimed that Africans are starving and/or malnourished, whereas, starvation and malnourishment is not only an African plaque but true for all other continents.

“We must resist all efforts by the Biotech industry to impose their will and re-enslave our farmers through the intellectual property rights which allows the industry to patent their seeds, forcing the farmers to be reliant on them,” .... Samuel Adeoye

Pandering to the desires of the GMO industry when the government ought to prioritise the protection and defend the interests of the citizens of Nigeria is very disappointing to say the least. All the more surprising as there is no Biosafety law in place in Nigeria, with which our biodiversity and environment can be protected.
No consideration of the profound ramification that such move can impact on our agriculture, environment and consequently the people.

Importation and consummation of GMOs are shockingly disappointedly endorsed by two serving ministers – Minister of Science and Technology, Dr Ita Ewa and Minister of Agriculture, Dr Akinwumi Adesina
GM foods toxin – Glyphosate, have been found in maternal and fetal blood. It is also linked with other ailments and diseases like breast cancer, autism, Parkingsons and Alzeimers diseases and also birth defects.
Other compounds are also found in genetically modified foods that trigger early puberty and infertility. Nigeria should follow the example of Zambia, who resisted the pressure of being arm-twisted by donor nations.

Dangers

Potential damage to biodiversity,soil organisms, marine ecosystems, water resources pollution, harm to birds and insects, by GMO plants and agricultural practises have been well researched.
According to studies carried out by the American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) on GM foods, it showed organ damage, gastro intestinal and immune system disorders, including accelerated aging and infertility in lab animals.Lasting GM contamination is another area of concern due to cross-pollination, which can potentially outlast the effect of nuclear waste and global warming. Dangerous and unpredictable side effects like new toxins, carcinogens and allergens are also said to be created.

PetsRe: Man Who Names Dog Buhari Is Guilty!!- Deputy Speaker, SU by Ralphdan(m): 9:04am On Aug 26, 2016
Edunews:
There is no doubt many persons seem to bring in varying ethnic, religious & emotional sentiments into this, as well as our dislike for president Buhari but, if we set aside these flaws in our eyes, occluding our vision, we might come to appreciate the fact that indeed, a crime was committed.

Having observed the situation from various angles, it has become clear that the Judiciary as well as security officials are looking at the situation and seeing one thing, while the citizens, particularly, those who harbor a natural disdain for the president, are looking at the same situation and yet, seeing a totally different thing.

To some persons, they only see the unlawful sentencing of a man, who has done nothing wrong, but only name his dog what suits him, by a qualified judge, following the tenets of the Law, in a court of competent jurisdiction, without bothering to read the verdict of the case. These set of persons argue that the Defendant in question has committed no crime in naming his dog Buhari, a position which I completely agree with, but, WAS THE MAN SENTENCED FOR NAMING HIS DOG BUHARI??

Now, this is the questions in which majority of persons fail to understand, nor answer. According to the Verdict or the court, The defendant was arraigned for carrying out actions capable of breaching public peace and instigating not just ethnic but also religious and political violence, and this includes but not limited to;
1. The defendant boldly printed on the Body of the dog, the name "Buhari' (where has the name of a dog been written on the dog before)?
2. That the defendant paraded the same dog with name boldly printed, in the Hausa Section of the market. (He did not just leave the dog in his shop but wants it to be seen not just in the market but in the Hausa section)
3. That a certain popular Alhaji Buhari is a trader in this Hausa section of the market.

We might dislike the president and his policies, particularly in the current period as it isn't favorable to Nigerians, a situation which has resulted in increased hardship, but, if you tell me that these actions, as detailed above would not lead to a breach in public peace, breakdown of law and order and culminating in ethnic, religious and political violence, then, it's obvious that you are not seeking for the rule of law.

Ridiculing the president obviously isn't a crime, as it is not yet contained in any part of the constitution, but doing so in a manner capable of breaching peace, in a very large way is a crime.

If you are from the east, and you still disagree that the actions above are capable of breaching public peace, and instigating violence, then let me give you this example.

Imagine that an Hausa/Fulani man, boldly wrote on the body of his dog or ram, the name "NNAMDI KANU or OJUKWU" and paraded same in the Onitsha Main market, or around Upper Iweka or in Ariaria market, Aba. What do you think would be the result??

Traders clapping and laughing for him??
Obviously not.

I might not like the president or his policies, but this is not a matter of scoring political points.
The president did not arrest nor arraign the man, a member of the society complained and the police arrested him, for acting in a manner capable of breaching public peace.
It could have been worse, numerous lives have been lost for acts less than this, and after the lives have been lost, we accuse the police and security operatives of not being able to maintain public peace, when they do, we bring in all forms of political, religious and ethnic sentiments into it.

I agree that a number of wrong judgments and decisions might have been unlawfully passed recently but, this one, THIS ONE, THE MAN IS GUILTY of ACTIONS CAPABLE OF BREACHING PUBLIC PEACE!!.

He is not guilty, nor was he sentenced for naming his dog Buhari. Its always important to read the full story.

if you argue that he should not be sent to prison, I might agree, but, he obviously, needs to be sent to REHAB. At least, that's what is obtained in advanced nations.

P/S: I am not a Buhari nor an APC supporter, but truth has to be said in this case.

God bless you.

Deputy Speaker,

Mr speaker or whatever you call yourself, this man in question named his dog buhari and not Mohammed buhari so be straight. And besides inscription of the name on the dog would not have been seen by the police as an action capable of breaching peace if the hausas in questions were not conflict minded.
And let me ask what if the man never ment any wrong? You are here pronouncing a man still under a judicial process guilty why not go to the Court and pronounce him guilty before the jurge.

Brotherly you want fame start writing about the injustice of the present government,the killing of innocent civilians in the south not coming here to write twaddle.
