Politics23 Women Became Chairmen & Councillors In Just Concluded Kebbi Polls. (photos) by Rokaa(op): 4:04pm On Jul 17, 2017
Earlier this week, the wife of Kebbi state governor Dr. Zainab Shinkafi Bagudu in a solidarity with her fellow women formally held an interactive strategy meeting with Apc women politicians from the 21 local government areas in the state, and in a bold step fielded 23 women to contest for chairmanship/councilorship positions in the upcoming elections.

Below is posted on her facebook page:

"However good the policies of the National and state government are, the effects will not be felt by people at the grassroots without able Local Government Chairmen and councillors. Today in Kebbi state, we are voting for a team to compliment the APC led leadership of Senator Abubakar Atiku Bagudu.

For the first time in the state and in a bold step towards Gender Equity, the ruling APC is fielding 23 female candidates who hope to scale through.

Earlier in the week, in a solidarity with her fellow women, Her Excellency the wife of Kebbi state governor Dr Zainab Atiku Bagudu formally met the female candidates at an interactive strategy meeting. The meeting was attended by leaders of female decampees as well as women leaders from all 21 LGA of the state. "

On saturday 15/7/2017 the electorates casted their votes, out of the 21 chairmen & 225 councilors position, APC won all but 5 councilors.

If we assume PDP won the only five councilorship seats after defeating 5 APC women we still have 18 women who scaled through

Governor Ibrahim Gaidam of Yobe State has said the state is set to emerged a major player in food production in the country with the take-off of his administration’s special irrigation scheme in Nguru, Mugura and Boloram in Nguru and Gaidam local government areas of the state.

The governor, who spoke during separate visits to the irrigation locations, said he envisages a ‘strong presence’ in the production of wheat, rice, maize, and other crops because of the investments being made in irrigation agriculture.

“With what I have seen in these locations and the concerted effort of the Special Task Force on irrigation, I am confident that we will soon become a major player especially in rice wheat production. We will give the task force every support it needs to grow these fields and empower our farmers to become commercial farmers”, he said.

Chairman of the Yobe Special Irrigation Task Force Mr Gambomi Goni said the scheme at Nguru Lake is 500 hectares while Mugura and Boloram have 435 hectares combined.

“We are currently working on 200 hectares each in Nguru and Mugura. In Nguru, we are constructing a 1500 meters main canal as well as numerous intake channels”, he said.

Gambomi Goni explained that cropping is due to start in Nguru during the October wheat season with 1, 000 to 1, 200 farmers benefitting.


“We will grow throughout the year and we envisage three cropping seasons with wheat around October-March, rice around March-July and then early variety of maize around July September. We expect four to five tons of what we grow per hectare”, he said.

The governor of Borno state Kashim Shettima broke the news on facebook:

"This morning, I launched the Central Bank of Nigeria's Anchor Borrowers Programm, a loan scheme to empower 500 farmers of the agricultural community of Zabarmari in Jere Local Government.

The scheme is targeting 2000 farmers in Borno state but on our part, we are partnering with the CBN and the Bank of Agriculture to secure more interest free loans to our distressed farmers in the state."

Some of the successess of this programme is the bumper rice harvests recorded in Kebbi, Kano & Jigawa, with over 88,000 millionaire rice farmers in Kebbi state alone.

We all know that northerners getting married off as third wives is not the true reflection of your immediate concerns about the marital institution.

Infact your true pain if you have any about the marital life of women is scaling the marriage hurdle itself. And your greatest fear as a man is ending up with a lady whose womb and pipes were ravaged silly by exploits of dudes like you.

because you're logically incapable of making the comnection. Breaking it down for dummies like you.
Saudi has stricter and harsher rules in dress code for women and most Saudi elites dont trust Saudi doctors, but prefer to be treated by skimpy-dress wearing Americans.. Saudis prefer brains over religious decency
Back to Naija, most Northerners would prefer a surgeon who knows his/her fiels over someone who is "covered" in his/her in the nams of dressing.
I'm yet to see the co-relation between dress code and good health care.

People dress according to societal ethics.

Patients go to doctors with the right expertise.

This is common sense. Wealthy people will always settle for the best practitioners, the common man will select from what he can afford.

If a country have the best hospitals, by default it became darling to wealthy people.

Since you chicken out on the question i asked, let me answer it for you. The Arabs you love to loathe are far better than us here, they beat us hands down on all indices pointing to a civilized society.

America's advancement in medicine cant be compared with the Saudi's. Even other superpower country citizens visits US for health issues. Your comparison is devoid of any intelligence

What you should be concerned about is how your country is faring in the general scheme of things?

How many poor Nigerians are able to get grants from the govt to seek medical care in the US. Would you in your right sense compare the living standards in Saudi and say Nigeria is better?

With all due respect Mr Ogbeh is far from the truth,where are the storage facilities and what's the average yield per hectare of our local rice species? How do we plan to get the produce to the target market? The man should answer these questions first .
Farms in Kebbi yields 90 to 100 75kg paddy bags per hectare

That's 6.75 to 7.5 tonnes per hectare.
