Before the 1960s, rice was never a staple in any part of Nigeria. However with the new found independence, companies like Maggi, Royco had to advertise their product with a new food item and one of those was Rice. This was a time when watching Televisions was a luxury for kids. Watching the adverts in those days, Rice must have become more or less their future ambition, to work hard so that one day they could eat rice every Sunday.
Fast forward to the time of Jonathan and Obasanjo when excess oil money was used to cover for the growing local taste for rice without any proper actuation of local rice production or generating alternative foreign exchange to oil.
Now that the Oil blurr is more or less almost over , it is time for counter Propaganda in Cassava, Yam and Corn consumption, otherwise we stand at a loss with our population projected to be the second largest in the world in the next 100 years. The other alternative is to just get good at producing top quality rice for the populace to tap into this already made market or generate other means of foreign exchange for our beloved rice.

What do we make of this Campaign of Seun and Mynd44 trying to run down the talented Kid's parade by permanently tagging him "Don Jazzy's" artiste

I have a dream that one day Nigeria will be a nation of Scientists, managers, mathematicians, big business men

rescue is complete only when they get to a better place.

Who we need to invite to Nigeria are impacting men of Economics, Management, STEM

What we need for now is to glorify the STEM fields. The arts are important but they should only help us sustain a stem based society

MERCHANDISER:
stem courses you mean "Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math."

exactly

All of us @ pray for a quick recovery for this veteran actor

By the stripes of Jesus CHRIST, he is healed.

Say the truth, you're wired to Aso rock or there about ain't ya

MERCHANDISER:

My first step is for you to do the prerequisites for your most preferred STEM course. When you're done with that, let me know.

MERCHANDISER:
i need money

I can only show you how to catch the fish

MEJOISLAND:

Thats no fiction Musa, my ppriend.
Thats the reality of the system of education here in the North. Learn to tell yourself the truth even for once although your eyes have been covered by the things you deem unquestionable

On an unrelated note, will UNILAG ever win a Nobel prize in the Sciences?

For such a kid as in the picture, I wonder what future awaits him. It will take a miracle for him to win a Nobel price for instance.

I am on Nairaland to save Nigeria by saving a select few

I know the way(s). Ask me if you are lost

Nigeria will be better without Mohammed and perhaps the other guy

I am pretty sure that the most Nigerians have more pressing issues to discuss on their most popular site.
