FreeStuffsNG:So you are saying the news is very wrong? I understand your job is to work on image of the govt irrespective of reality. |
The prison system will now put this man next to a non violent criminal or one boy oga paid for his arrest and expect more hardened criminals not to emerge. We are still joking in this country. |
From his appearance alone he looks like cocaine child and one whose naming ceremony needed ram meat. |
Great if acted upon. |
Validated:Thank you. Anyone with as much as a dozen brain cells should know the stock market is a speculative place where people gamble on corporate businesses. The speculative gains of Soludo capitalization still has it tales of woes. This jargon loving admin so much believes in indices. They allow production suffer and prefer to manipulate tax, interest rates, and corporate world variables. Bandits are still beheading and taxing farmers. No solution to those. |
Clowns in power. What will this recapitalization do for an average survivor of the jungle economy? This admin loves textbook jargons and corporate world indices more than actual productivity and conducive business environment. |
Untothee2:January to.dwxwmver every week or two days you always need help. Go and work. Anonymous begging is what you are doing here and no different from a fraudster. |
Out of first 35 posts, very few sensible replies. |
SadiqBabaSani:A country that see need to open their borders to skilled hands and promote merit based recognition system. |
Imagine a humanity with no wars. That means sudden extra funds to live life to better standards. |
The real damage has been done, they probably see it differently now. No amount of violence will make a struggling Nigeria govt grant them the bumper amnesty they have in mind. The violence has spread all over the north and they now have a new pattern of kidnapping and extortion to deal with as a result of support BH enjoyed from their leaders who they listen to. Every harvest season crime now increases as they try to extort the unprotected middle-class of the north. Ransom and levy is the amnesty they get. |
iwaeda:we have rail tracks to Niger to show. We have rice pyramids, we have hmm hmmm, we have hope...lol |
Few polytechnics, technical institutes or IT institutes. Follow-follow want to finish them. At the end the produce mediocre output and start blaming the system. |
Goalnaldo:onion powder. |
It will indeed. |
I won't agree to a handshake with if chanced to. Useless record. |
Trust anything Nigerian at your own peril. |
Jonathan:Lol... |
On the morning of October 7, Hamas fighters streamed into the quiet lanes of kibbutz Alumim, setting off on a rampage of killing and destruction. But most of their victims in the community weren’t Israeli, or even Jewish, they were Thai and Nepali farm workers, sleeping in a dormitory right in the militants’ path. Some of the men limped, others were pushed. Flanked by gunmen, the men were marched to their deaths. Security staff watched helplessly on CCTV from just a few hundred meters away as the 23 men were massacred. https://media.cnn.com/api/v1/images/stellar/prod/231123121946-israeli-farms-robertson-pkg-vpx-2.jpg [color=#777777]Video showed Hama's attacker this farm, now it is struggling to survive[/color] Among the more than 1,200 victims of the Hamas attacks, Thais make up the largest group of foreign nationals. Most were workers on agricultural sites close to the perimeter fence that separates Israel from Gaza. Hamas freed a group of 10 Thais taken hostage on Friday but others remain captive. The violence has set off an exodus of foreign workers from Israel, with some 10,000 farmworkers estimated to have left since October 7, according to the Israeli government. For Israel’s dairy and agricultural farms, that has posed an almost existential problem. Dairy cows need milking several times a day by specially trained staff, while the past weeks have been the harvest window for many crops. Without hands to work on the farms, crops and animals would have been left to die. Volunteers from across Israel have stepped in to prop them up, but much-needed foreign workers are still yet to return, and farmers fear that without guarantees of security, the future of Israeli farming near Gaza is impossible. No return “I am still frightened,” farm worker Nattaphong Duangchan told CNN, now back home in Thailand after the October 7 attacks. Wounded by shrapnel, he hid for two days on the farm where he worked along the Gaza border, before being rescued by Israeli security forces. Return is not an option for him, he said. “Nothing is left there, and I am too afraid to go back.” But workers like him are sorely needed. On Israel’s farms, “the vast majority nowadays of the kind of the people who are doing the grunt work, you know, the heavy work for low wages are Thai and have been since the early 90s,” Matan Kaminer, an anthropologist studying Thai labor in Israel, told CNN. Since the October 7 attacks, farmer Yosi Inbar patrols his fields with his rifle to protect his staff and volunteers.

After many foreign workers fled Israel following the October 7 attacks, farmers were forced to abandon crops or rely on volunteers for the harvest.

Israeli farms largely relied on Palestinian workers up until the 1990s. But following the wave of violence during the First Palestinian Intifada, or uprising, and the ensuing Israeli crackdown on the freedom of Palestinians to work outside the occupied territories, Israel started to look elsewhere for farm labor. https://media.cnn.com/api/v1/images/stellar/prod/231125133236-02-israel-frontline-farms.jpg [color=#616161]Since the October 7 attacks, farmer Yosi Inbar patrols his fields with his rifle to protect his staff and volunteers[/color]. Today, many farm workers come from poorer areas in Thailand’s northeast, providing a cheap labor force for Israel. Strict conditions govern their work in Israel, keeping them on short contracts in manual work, with no right to raise families there. The farms around Gaza employed about 6,000 Thai workers before the war began, according to Israel’s ministry of interior. The Israeli ministry of agriculture told CNN as many between 30,000 and 40,000 workers are now missing from the country’s farms, half of whom are Palestinians barred from entering Israel from the Israeli-occupied West Bank since the October attacks. With no sign yet of a mass return of Thai workers, the Israeli government is looking to recruit some 5,000 workers from other countries, including Sri Lanka. After the killing, a deep wound Israel’s agriculture minister Avi Dichter told CNN he thought the Hamas militants were deliberately targeting Israel’s economy, such was the damage they wrought on local industry on October 7. And the significance of agriculture in Israel is more than economic. “Agriculture and farming are an inseparable part of Zionism. Working the land is an important value among the people of Israel,” said Lior Simcha, chief executive of the Milk Producers Association. However, as Israel’s economy developed, the country’s citizens were able to take higher-paying jobs in different sectors, leaving agricultural jobs unfilled. Farming in the dusty plains of southern Israel is almost ingrained in the national identity of the country. The frontier spirit of the kibbutz pioneers, who did much to establish large-scale agriculture in Israel’s south, is a source of national pride for many in the country. But those farmers require watertight guarantees of security for their work to continue and for their families to feel safe. Echoing views CNN heard from other locals along the Gaza border, vegetable farmer Yosi Inbar offered an unvarnished, uncompromising assessment of how to achieve it. “We need to open the border to Egypt, (so) that all the (Gazan) people go to Egypt, live there. And we close the border, and we grow potato(es) all the way to the sea,” he said from one of his fields. “This is the safety that we need to come back. And it’s not going to happen, you know, two million people there, you cannot just throw them, shoot them, it’s people.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not outlined a defined, post-fighting strategy for Gaza, where more than two-thirds of the 2 million inhabitants are now internally displaced, and where more than 40% of all housing units have been either destroyed or damaged, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), citing the Ministry of Housing in Gaza. Any forced displacement of Gaza’s population into Egypt would constitute a war crime and the United States has warned against Israel re-occupying Gaza. A lifeline in the fields Inbar feels lucky, he told CNN, as a handful of volunteers stripped zucchini plants, the yellow flowers bobbing in their wake. About half of his Thai workers stayed in Israel; his neighbor only has around a third of his former workforce. Inbar’s remaining foreign workers quietly motor up and down the rows of zucchini. Nearby, some of his Israeli volunteers, chatting amongst themselves, stoop to gather up zucchini that lie splayed across the dirt, the result of a clumsily overturned cart. The contrast between the two groups couldn’t be starker. Inbar said the manpower shortage has already forced him to abandon his tomato crop. Without the volunteers, the zucchini would have met a similar fate, he said. Long-term, he doesn’t know how he can keep his farm running at capacity without the return of foreign laborers. At the dairy farm at Kibbutz Alumim, where the buildings of Gaza City cluster the horizon less than 3 miles away, the burned-out shells of barns and the skeleton of living quarters where nearly two dozen Thai and Nepali workers were slaughtered are a constant reminder of the violence of October 7. “The foreign workers run the farm, they do all the milking,” farm manager Stevie Marcus said of the working of the farm before October 7. Today, four volunteers help him milk his herd twice a day. Requiring special training from a veterinarian to work with the animals, these volunteers are in short supply. “We’re doing the bare minimum we need to do, making sure they have food and clean water, milking them,” he said. Before October, the 350 cows were milked three times a day. After going days without food and care after workers fled following the attacks, the cows now only have milk for two sessions. On recent weekends, the group organizing Inbar’s volunteers, Brothers and Sisters for Israel, has gathered up to 1,000 volunteers from across the country, many driving down from around Tel Aviv, to keep local farms running. Even weekdays see hundreds give up their time, organizer Lisa Perlman told CNN. Her organization has matched some 50,000 volunteers with farms across Israel since the war began. Standing among Inbar’s zucchini, tech worker Avi Leibovich - volunteering on a day off from his day job - said he came to help Israeli farms survive. “Without them, probably the markets will be empty,” he said, adding: “I don’t think that this kind of industry can be relying only on imports.” Foreign produce is one of the government’s short-term solutions to the manpower crisis, boosting import quotas on milk and plant products. “These are our vegetables. This is our produce,” solutions engineer and volunteer farm worker Danny Parizada told CNN. The 35-year-old said that working in the fields was the “very minimum that we can do.” He was laid-back about the risk of coming so close to Gaza while rockets do still occasionally streak across the sky. Volunteers have seconds to find shelter if the alarm sounds. “We live in such an insane environment where this is okay. There’s a war zone,” he said, admitting that he hadn’t told his mother where he was. https://media.cnn.com/api/v1/images/stellar/prod/231125134945-08-israel-frontline-farms.jpg [color=#777777] Twenty-three Thai and Nepali workers were killed in the dormitory and safe room where they lived in the Hamas attack.

The ferocity of Hamas’ attacks sparked calls for immediate revenge among many Israelis. And the relentless bombing of Gaza has been welcomed in some quarters. But on Mei’s long car rides, she soon grew uncomfortable with what she called the “celebration” of the destruction in Gaza shared by some of her passengers. She turned to picking vegetables, more comfortable with the thought that her days weren’t supporting Israel’s bloody campaign in Gaza. For feeding people, unlike helping them fight, posed no moral qualms for Mei. “There’s no question about it,” she said of her labor in the fields. “It’s undeniably good.” Source : CNN |

Long overdue. If some constituencies can adopt Hausa with Arabic and reject education via armed struggle, adoption of other major languages as official language should be seriously considered. Ijaw, Tiv, and Calabar too should be considered also. |
