[size=15pt]Nigeria’s food imports decline by $5.3bn –Adesina[/size] By Chibuzor Emejor / Abuja Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Akinwumi Adesina, has said the nation’s food importation in the last one year has declined by $5.3billion. Speaking at the South-South Cooperation Achievements High Level Forum at the weekend in Abuja, Adesina said Nigeria earlier before now, spent over $11 billion on the importation of wheat, rice, sugar and fish alone. He said in the last one year, additional nine million metric tonnes of food has been produced and added to the domestic food supply. According to him, “The impact of the Agricultural Transformation Agenda (ATA) has been huge for Nigeria. In just one year, we have already produced an additional nine million metric tonnes of food.'' “At the same time, our food imports declined by $5.3billion. Over 2.7 million farm jobs were created which represent 77 per cent of our overall target.” Meanwhile, the minister said Nigeria would save about $800 million annually from wheat flour import substitution with high quality cassava flour used in bread and confectionaries. His words: “To reduce our almost $4 billion import bill on wheat annually, we embarked on the cassava flour substitution policy to replace some of the wheat flour used in bread and confectionaries.'' “As the commercialisation of cassava bread reaches its peak, it will reduce our import bill by at least $800 million and put this money back in the pockets of Nigerian farmers, processors and bakers.” On South-South Cooperation (SSC), which is a tripartite venture involving Nigeria, China, and Food and Agriculture Organisation in support of National Programme for Food Security, Adesina sought the assistance of Chinese Government in the area of rice milling technologies and cassava processing plants, which would help Nigeria to be self-sufficient in rice production and boost cassava processing. He further called for the support of the Vice Minister of China, Chen Xiaohua, in assisting Nigeria to secure agricultural financing loans from China Exim Bank. Also speaking, the Chinese Vice Minister of Agriculture, said food security is fundamental to human survival and development and the right to food is the most basic human right. |
Yungwizzzy: Who wants a local rice anyway??People like you are the problem we have in this country. Disgraceful. |
There are really no such things as 'gods'. A being is only a 'god' to less powerful or advanced beings. A cat would probably consider men as gods. |
THIS IS NOT NEFERTITI. This sculpture from Goodness-knows-where is a highly controversial, Europeanized representation of Nefertiti which has been rejected by many scholars of ancient Egypt as a fake, or a representation of somebody else, NOT Nefertiti. Subom1: 1. Queen Nefertiti of Kemet (Egypt). An Egyptian queen renowned for her beauty, Nefertiti ruled alongside her husband, Pharaoh Akhenaten, during the mid-1300s B.C.The ancient TOMB art depicting Nefertiti as well as modern reconstruction of her skull fragments depict Nefertiti as a black African woman.

Bilikisu Sungbo - The Queen of Ijebu ('Sheba'), Builder of the Eredo Earthworks of Ijebu-Ode Nigeria - Africa's largest man-made monument. "In terms of sheer size it's the largest single monument in Africa - larger than any of the Egyptian pyramids" - Dr Patrick Darling The ditch is 160 km (100 miles) long, and in places 20 metres (70 feet) deep. ..................................[img]http://nationalmirroronline.net/thumbnail.php?file=Bilikisu_Sungbo_or_Queen_of_Sheba_364223220.jpg&size=article_large[/img] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sungbo%27s_Eredo Sungbo's Eredo is a rampart or system of walls and ditches that is located to the south-west of the Yoruba town of Ijebu-Ode in Ogun state, southwest Nigeria (6.78700°N 3.87488°E). It was built in honour of the Ijebu noblewoman Oloye Bilikisu Sungbo, and is reputed to be the largest single pre-colonial monument in Africa. Description Total length of fortifications is more than 160 kilometres (99 mi). Fortifications consist of a ditch with unusually smooth walls and bank in the inner side of ditch. The height difference between the bottom of the ditch and the upper rim of the bank on the inner side can reach 20 metres (66 ft). Works have been performed in laterite, a typical African soil consisting of clay and iron oxides. Ditch forms an uneven ring around the area of ancient Ijebu state, an area approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi) wide in north-south, with the walls flanked by trees and other vegetation, turning the ditch into green tunnel. As a construction project, it required more earth to be moved than the Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt. https://www.manswersonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/sungboeredo1.jpg Eredo Earthworks History The Eredo served a defensive purpose when it was built in 800–1000 AD, a period of political confrontation and consolidation in the southern Nigerian rainforest. It was likely to have been inspired by the same process that led to the construction of similar walls and ditches throughout western Nigeria, including earthworks around Ile-Ife, Ilesa, and the Benin Iya, a 6,500 kilometres (4,000 mi) series of connected but separate earthworks in the neighboring Edo-speaking region. Sungbo's Eredo has also been connected with the legend of the Queen of Sheba which is recounted in both the Bible and Koran. In the Old Testament, she is described as having sent a caravan of gold, ivory and other goods from her kingdom to King Solomon. In the Koran she is an Ethiopian sun worshiper named Bilqis involved in the incense trade who converts to Islam. Legends of the contemporary Ijebu clan link the Eredo to this fabled woman, a wealthy, childless widow who they know as Bilikisu Sungbo. According to them, the monument was built as her personal memorial. In addition to this, her grave is believed to be located in Oke-Eiri, a town in a Muslim area just north of the Eredo. Pilgrims of Christian, Muslim and traditional African religions annually trek to this holy site in tribute to her. It is believed that the Eredo was a means of unifying an area of diverse communities into a single kingdom. It seems that the builders of these fortifications deliberately tried to reach groundwater or clay to create a swampy bottom for the ditch. If this could be achieved in shallow depth, builders stopped, even if only at the depth of 1 meter. In some places small, conical idol statues had been placed on the bottom of the ditch. The impressive size and complex construction of the Eredo drew worldwide media attention in September 1999 when Dr Patrick Darling, a British archaeologist then with the University of Bournemouth, surveyed the site and began publicizing his bid to preserve the Eredo and bring the site some prominence. Previously, the Eredo had been little-known outside of the small community of residents and specialists in Yoruba history. Forty years passed between Professor Peter Lloyd's publication of his analysis of the site and that of Darling, but it still served to necessitate a complete rethinking of West Africa's past. |
TerryCarr: hot climate & not unique to AfricaThe suit is European in origin but not unique to Europe. So what's your point? |
poster, the fact you have to even ask the question means no one is ''called by God'' in the sense you imagine. |
Foreign Investors Pour Into Nigeria As Economy Accelerates https://www.nairaland.com/1249139/foreign-investors-pour-into-nigeria |
ChokolateBoss: Everyone's entitled to their opinion.It has a LOT to do with 'the topic of the thread'. Do those faiths even accept that the soul transcends physicality? They seem to teach that the body and soul are the same thing. That 'once you're dead, you're dead'. You lose all consciousness until sometime in the future, when your dead body is 'resurrected' (dependent on if you'd practised their religion during your lifetime). That is why the idea of 'resurrection' is so important to them. Dead bodies returning to life, like some sort of divine zombies. They see man as the physical body. They are deceiving a lot of people. |
A legend of our time. Love what he says about organized religion being a curse rather than a blessing. ![]() |
PastorKun: Check out your web link, apart from the fact that the claims there seem outlandish, why is it that main strean science refuses to acknowledge these theories? Scientist are known to accept theories if the case establishing them are weighty enough with solid evidence to back.You are wayyyy too trusting of 'scientists' my friend. There is a LOT of information out there that is not ''scientifically accepted'' which has absolutely nothing to do with how 'weighty' the evidence behind them is. There are powerful interests who fund these scientists and their research, and if any scientist were to stray from what is regarded as 'acceptable' they would lose their funding and support, and even their jobs and reputations very quickly. |
Of course there is no such thing as death. Only the body 'dies'. We are not our bodies. We are powerful, immortal beings who most definitely transcend physical expiration. Our ancestors have known this for thousands of years. It was christians and muslims who came and confused our people with their nonsensical beliefs about ''you must believe in blah blah blah to be saved''. Utter garbage. |
Elliotwiz1: lol insulting me won't make you smarterClearly you're more concerned about being ''insulted'' than educating yourself. Stay dumb. I'm out, until someone with a bit of grey matter chips in. I do not have time to be 'polite' to people who proclaim their own inferiority before the world and stupi.dly refuse to learn. |
Elliotwiz1: you don't have to insult to make your point clearer.what you have to do is go back get your facts straight and come back to post. okay?No. What YOU need to do is go and LEARN a few things beyond the hand-me-down inferiority complex loaded garbage drummed into your skull from childhood, before coming on here to comment. Go and read some books on African history. Learn about Diop, Chancellor Williams, Martin Bernal, and such leading scholars. If you don't read, you will continue spewing ignorance and dumbness, and that can't be good . |
Elliotwiz1: ROSSIKKI you seem a bit confused, africa is more developed than asia?last time i checked sierra leone was the poorest. maybe africa will be better than asia someday but presently africa is poorer and less developed! how many indians have you seen coming to nigeria for medical treatment? where did your late past president go for treatment when he was ill? where do our politicians go when sick ? it's India Dude.WAKE UP!!Do you have a working brain at all? Did you even read the link I posted on India? Look, if you want to be a dunce, do go ahead. I'm not in your league. If you cannot read a simple link and respond accordingly, you're not qualified to be in this debate. You're just a little colonised kid with nothing upstairs. |
Elliotwiz1: ROSSIKI you don't have to copy and post everything on the site. all what you posted can be summarized to one sentence "that the african civilization started before that of the europeans" lol somethings you wrote actually made me laugh and one of them was "egypt(blacks)" ....even if you've never been to the country you should know egypt is not a black nation. they're close to the europeans and are actually white not black,they're arabs. the blacks you find among them are possible those who got there during the slave trade era and others who tried to cross to europe and got trapped.going by this it's possible the egyptians that lived there at about 3000bc were all whites and so we'll call them europeans because you said all white skinned fellows are europeans. lol. now tell me, are you not still giving glory to the europeans?lol i'll appreciate it alot if you can state any world beneficial achievement that originated from africa(beside north africa), just one. surf the web and post any if you fit it.YOUR IGNORANCE STINKS TO HIGH HEAVENS. Stop being a dunce. Read the thread below posted a year or so ago and learn the truth about Egypt, a black African civilization, which only turned 'mixed' in the last thousand years following foreign invasions and consequent migration of blacks southwards. https://www.nairaland.com/326177/tomb-art-ancient-egypt-black |
Elliotwiz1: Garvey1 you keep blaming the europeans for the misfortune of africans when the real party to blame is africa itself. today in nigeria all we talk about is corruption, unemployment,terrorism and tribalism! who caused these problems? the europeans right? sick# if the europeans were the cause of the problems of africa then their absence in the past 50 years would have skyrocketed development but that's not the case. our best professors and writers are people who studied outside the continent. imagine a situation were africa is totally isolated from the world. lol what we'll be studying would be how to please our gods and increase our population.life without purpose and pleasure. the effect of the europeans on african soil cannot be undermined.Erm actually the past 50 years HAVE 'skyrocketed' development in Africa more than you can ever imagine. For starters you are educated, unlike your grandparents. Nigeria has 135 universities today. We had ZERO in the 67 years of colonial rule up till 1960. Literacy was at 8% at independence. That figure is 74% today. Infant mortality was at 280 per 1000. Down to 80 per 1000 today. We had no power stations at all built from 1897 to 1960. The little electricity found in a few colonial parts of a few cities were derived from huge generators imported by the colonialists. At independence our power generation capacity stood at 270 megawatts. That's over 8,000mw today. Not a single dual carriageway existed in Nigeria in 1960. Today there are thousands of miles of them. And thousands of miles more roads in general than existed during colonial rule. As for the other unschooled garbage you typed about poverty in Africa , you need to watch less BBC and CNN and research PROPER news and information. When you do you will learn that Africa is NOT the poorest region on earth. Southeast Asia is. India far poorer than Africa, new studies show: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/india-far-poorer-than-africa-new-measure-shows/story-e6frg6so-1225891801078?nk=4125c65fdc2d1fe6a1ff54f86845023d Many thanks. |

Without Africa and Africans Europeans would still be cave dwellers without language or speech, illiterate, bearskin-clad, wild haired, unwashed, and knocking off each other with clubs. Africans civilized Europeans and brought them out of the caves of the Caucasus mountains in Russia (from which comes the word Caucasian). When the African pyramids and temples were already ancient relics, not a single European civilization was in existence. Homer of Greece, the first voice of Europe, emerged in 800 BC. By then African civilization had already peaked after thousands of years of glory, and entered its decline stages. Here is the famous Egyptian Mural of the Races, found in the tomb of Rameses 1 (circa 3000 BC). https://lvvfsa.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pWzNskhzb5KUZBbuzcFvvJacPP_SxFDH-etPbYsyWkqxuLJThJEi2z467vr4T4U5PYfAtSyM1JPB48WjixBxervSmFyJtlL-z/image004.jpg Here the races are lined up according to their importance and level of advancement, as seen by Egyptians, the masters of the world. The Egyptian (black) naturally comes first, followed by Asiatics, then Africans south of the Sahara, and finally, the white man of Europe. Jean-Francois Champollion (1790 – 1832) , famous French explorer, visited the site. His words: "Right in the valley of Biban-el-Moluk, we admired, like all previous visitors, the astonishing freshness of the paintings and the fine sculptures on several tombs....Thus we have before our eyes the image of the various races of man known to the Egyptians and we learn at the same time the great geographical or ethnographical divisions established during that early epoch... The variations I observed fully convinced me that they had tried to represent here the inhabitants of the four corners of the earth, according to the Egyptian system, namely: 1. the inhabitants of Egypt which, by itself, formed one part of the world ...; 2. the inhabitants of Africa proper: Blacks; 3. Asians; 4. [b]finally (and I am ashamed to say so, since our race is the last and the most savage in the series), Europeans who, in those remote epochs, frankly did not cut too fine a figure in the world. In this category we must include all blonds and white-skinned people living not only in Europe, but Asia as well, their starting point. This manner of viewing the tableau is all the more accurate because, on the other tombs, the same generic names reappear, always in the same order. We find there Egyptians and Africans represented in the same way, which could not be otherwise; but the Namou (the Asians) and the Tamhou (Europeans) present significant and curious variants.....our good old ancestors, the Tamhou. Their attire is sometimes different; their heads are more or less hairy and adorned with various ornaments; their savage dress varies somewhat in form, but their white complexion, their eyes and beard all preserve the character of a race apart. I had this strange ethnographical series copied and colored. I certainly did not expect, on arriving at Biban-el-Moluk, to find sculptures that could serve as vignettes for the history of the primitive Europeans, if ever one has the courage to attempt it. Nevertheless, there is something flattering and consoling in seeing them, since they make us appreciate the progress we have subsequently achieved."[/b] http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=print_topic;f=8;t=006797 |
PastorKun: On the contrary there are lots of claimed encounters in the modern era, none is yet to be verified beyond reasonable doubt. Also if these beings were dwelling on earth in those days, why did they leave and why are they just merely passing through these days.They probably felt their job of 'civilizing' man was done, and so they left, only making periodic visits now to see how we're getting on. Another reason could be that they had completed their gold acquisition mission in Southern Africa, known as the Abzu in the Sumerian texts, and had no more reason to be here. 200,000 year old cities discovered in South Africa, plus evidence of ancient, pre-historical gold mines: http://www.viewzone.com/adamscalendar.html |
Onegai: Okay, so I'm going to have a rant here, because this is my specialty.You're another self-hating idio.t filled with inferiority complex. Your training is a total waste if this is the unimaginative garbage you can come out with. And do keep your racist ''blacks, Africans are backward'' rubbish to your fellow dumb white assss kissers. Stup.id goat. Someone that has common sense and intelligence would suggest ways of returning the artefacts and protecting them, by ensuring they are handled by experts or dedicated professionals, but not Miss Inferior who says ''Just let the whites have them''. Thoughtless DUNCE. |
R & B OF COURSE |
Eldavido1: Sixty-eight per cent of urban dwellers in Nigeria have access to potable water supply with 40 per centThanks for the information. If one were to listen to Nigerians one would think the coverage was only 2%. Disgruntled idio.ts. |
If they were Europeans the whole world will be aware by now. Even in Mars and Jupiter. |
tuffgongjo: u have a pointAfrica still has many potential Okochas, Kanus and Weahs around. The main problem with why they are not coming to the fore much these days is that European managers have devised a racist stereotype of who their typical African footballer must be. These days he must be ''big, strong'' or ''with pace''. He must be a brute, not a thinker like Okocha or Kanu. He must act as a defensive shield, or otherwise a ''powerful strong'' guy up front there to overpower opponents with his brute strength. So any African player who does not meet these criteria is generally shunned by the ''top European clubs''. Look at Mikel. He was a skilful attacking midfielder on his way to becoming the next Okocha. Voted 2nd to Messi in talent at the 2005 FIFA Under 20 World Cup. Mourinho didn't want that. He wanted a new version of Makalele instead. Mikel turned from smart alec to thoughtless brute. This is why we need to develop and empower at least 5 or 6 African leagues so that they can become the base of our far more diversified talent pool. |
omar22: .......SORRY, BUT ON NL, IF YOU TYPE RUBBISH, NOBODY SEEKS YOUR PERMISSION BEFORE PUTTING YOU STRAIGHT. Now for the last time, do NOT ever say ''racism wasn't involved because Matuidi was black!'' DAMN IDIATTT!!!! |
omar22: Dumbo, ranting wont change the fact that you sound like an abandoned project.DUMBO, TYPING 'abandoned project' DOES NOT CHANGE THE FACT YOU ARE A RETAR.DED PEABRAIN WITH THE REASONING FACULTIES OF A MOSQUITO. |
omar22: Dumbo, ranting wont change the fact that you sound like an abandoned project. Answer this question, As an outsider what do you think of the human race?DUMBO, FACE THE TOPIC DIRECTLY. HOW DOES MATUIDI'S SKIN COLOUR MEAN NIGERIA WAS NOT CHEATED IF FRANCE ITSELF IS A WHITE EUROPEAN COUNTRY WHICH HE WAS REPRESENTING? BRAIN-DEAD, STUPI.D DUNCE!!! OLODO RABATA. |
omar22: You sound like someone who sold his car for fuel money. "If ignorance is bliss, you must be the happiest person alive" but "With your IQ, I don't think you would understand"What does a motorpark tout like you know about IQ? So stupi.d you think Matuidi's colour comes into play when he's representing France? DUMB AND DUMBER. If what I explained makes no sense to you, it just goes to show how iredeemably dumb and stup.id you are, with rocks where your brain ought to be. |
abatically: Thank u very much my brother. We must first solve our own problems and play at top level. After we do that we can then start tackling FIFA if we think we are being cheated.You are the most stupi.d and ignorant person on this forum. So we should sit down, fold our arms, do nothing, and play dumb when we are cheated and have our rights trampled on at the World Cup, merely because according to you we have not ''solved all our problems yet''. Meaning basically we should walk around with an inferiority complex, and accept we don't deserve fair treatment. I mean, some of you are so dumb and stup.id and really deserve to be shot. Like i said, if the slave trade was still on today, wastrels like you will promote its continuation pending when we ''solve all our problems''. BRAINLESS GOAT. I bet when you see a white man all your 36 start flashing from pillar to post without reason. DUMBIT0 X 10000. |
