PMB is doing great on security and corruption, the problems which lead us to where we are today. Come 2019 if he choose to contest under good health @MBuhari will still win 4 out of 6 geo-political zones in the country. You can't do anything about that.
ebosie11: Tambuwal, Dangote, Sultan flag off Rice Outgrowers Scheme in Goronyo LGA
Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal along with the President of Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, Wednesday flagged off a rice outgrowers' scheme which will cover 25,000 hectres of farmland across some selected local government areas of Sokoto state.
Speaking at the site of the event which held in Goronyo Dam, Dangote said the project will within the next three years produce at least one million tonne of high quality parboiled rice for Nigerian market.
He said to achieve this, his company plans to cultivate 160,000 hectres of irrigable rice farmland in selected states, including Sokoto, which will be cultivated to grow paddy during two cropping-season per year.
"With this, we hope to achieve a minimum yield of five to six tonnes per hectre. Our plans is to off-take not less that 80 percent of the paddy produced by the outgrowers. We will also develop our own farm operations to include seed multiplication capabilities," he added.
According to him, Dangote Rice Limited aims to boost the local economy, create jobs along the value and make a significant contribution to the transformation of subsistence farms into market-oriented agribusinesses.
In his remarks, Tambuwal commended Dangote for siting the project in Sokoto State, saying the renewed efforts of his administration in the sector has started yielding the desired result.
The Governor said education and agriculture have remained the two top sectors in the priority list in the state in the last two years, revealing that this year, Sokoto has allocated more to agriculture than all states of the federation.
"We have had series of visits to different countries and signed various MoUs with many organisations and entities, Dangote inclusive, with a view to uplifting agriculture in the state.
"So the Dangote Rice Project in Sokoto State will not only provide food security and employment to our teeming unemployed youths, it would ensure the overall development of agricultural activities in the state," he added.
Tambuwal assured that all necessary incentives have been put in place to ensure smooth operation of the scheme.
In his remarks, Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa'ad Abubakar, urged the people to embrace this opportunity to improve their farming technique and standards of living.
He said the people of Sokoto are grateful for the opportunity and will mobilise needed resources to ensure its success.

biaframustcome: Which research lead to the conclusion that 70% don't listen to radio or read newspaper?
I think imo state government is taking folks for fools.
Let me make up my own observation
Ndigbo don't listen to rubbish radio station full of lies and propaganda We don't read rubbish newspaper full of lies and propaganda
My question is which of these stations is not full of propagandas? How many programmes have u ever sponsored on these so called saint stations. Is it not this same govt and their allies that is controlling and sponsoring all of them. Nothing in the media is actually the way it is. All media outfit work with govt 'body language'
erico2k2: Question need asking.where are thier arms Who here remember the 80 in Lagos when it was war btw the Army and police ? Who remember what happened when the brother of a Major General was killed by the police and lebeled an armed and dangerous criminal all cos he went to sleep in a police station as he had dollars on him ? ? Who remember that era??
But nobody has come out to claim that, these boys are not 'jungle boy' they claimed they are. We all read how cruel these guys are killing, which include police, civil defence corps and civillians in omoku community durin d election.
biaframustcome: what evidence does the soldiers have to say they are armed cultist?
What stops the soldiers from catching them alive and bringing them to court to be tried by a competent judge?
When have soldiers become law enforcement agent?
We should stop all this animal behaviour, this is the 21st century please
Too much of warri weed make some guys think senseless. How do u catch well-armed cultist who ready to kill u? Why can't usa special marine that killed osama not try to capture him alive? These cultist are killers, they don't give a dime. Any mistake u r dead meat.
247frolicboss: Nigerians on social media have opened 2017 discussion with the NNN Nigeria ponzi schme modeled alongside the popular Mavrodian scheme, MMM.

claremont: I'm keen to know what Obama has done specifically for black americans, his original constituency. Most black americans I have spoken to have told me that he is a white man in a black man's skin. Black americans are still being treated unfairly by the system, and even more so whilst Obama is in power.
Black ppl with black thinking. Why are u attaching ur self totally to the white world while rejecting ur own. Many black think, living in the white world or marrying white lady is a progress. Instead of us flocking to the white man world, let make our own land heaven on earth and make white flocking to us. Example of dubai. Middle easthern countries don't beg for visas to Europe or America like we black. If u don't have mouth in America, then come to where u have mouth naa. Example of Nollywood and Naija hip hop.
In life especially in this country no matter how honesty you are, no matter how brilliant you are, its only those who return home with abundant riches that get praise. If you are in his shoe what are u goin to do? If he speak against his employer and he lost his job now, how will you help him? And someone take the job and cruise arround with Range Rover, who will get praise more in this country?

Residents of Otuoke in Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa, have appealed to the State Government to repair the Otuoke-Onuebum road which has been in a deplorable condition.
The residents made the appeal in separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Otuoke on Sunday.
Mr Ologi Damiete, told NAN that the condition of the road had become worse since the last rainy season as vehicles now found it difficult to pass through.
Damiete, a staff of the Federal University, Otuoke (FUO), appealed to the state government to come to the aid of the residents by fixing the road.
“The condition of this road has become worse since the flood that submerged the whole community and there has not been any preventive measure to forestall future occurrence.
“We are expecting the government to put necessary measures in place to guard against future occurrence.
“Students of FUO have resumed for the new semester and they have been finding it difficult moving in and out of the community.
“I am calling on all the relevant authorities to look into the matter because we has become unbearable. Our vehicles have been damaged because of the road,” he said.
Another resident, Mr Oweifa Debekeme, urged the state government to make more efforts toward checking flooding in the state, pointing out that flood had destroyed many roads in the state.
He said that the people were suffering and government had the responsibility to alleviate their agony by providing roads and other infrastructure for them.
A taxi driver plying the road, Mr Babatunde Adeola, said the road was already in a bad shape before the flood destroyed it completely.
Adeola called on the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) to also help repair the road to alleviate the plight of the people.
He implored the Bayelsa Government to come to the aid of the people of Otuoke and Onuebum communities as well as students and staff of the university.
He said the youths in the communities now help by sand-filling the bad portions on regular basis, adding that “commercial drivers now pay them for that”. (NAN
The dullad Fisher man abandoned his community while his cronies shared billions of dollars and flying private jets all over the world. Now some dullad londona educationist ystd also, awarding him honourary title by relying on social media rating. The money mama trouble alone pocketed can fix 10 of that road in bayelsa. Still dullad pple will still throw wrapa to tje floor to welcome them back home. Ha! Black people! I will never come to this world as black again.

What many of you don't know is that many of these aged people don't value all these worldly things like us, they don't want it, they don't need it. Before her death, my grandma forced her way back to the village when my dad tried to relocate her. The chairman of doyin group of companies mother do the same. He bought car for her, build storey building for her. But the mother, never use them. She claimed that the house she is living where she gave birth to all her children is ok, And beside, she can't be going up and down always. Many times, the woman won't go to owode market in offa with the car her son bought for her, simply because she doesn't want to be detached. Personally, the TV and Vcd i put in my mum parlour still there dusty. She doesn't watch it.
ShootToKill: If the country breaks and you muslim fulanis and yoruba stay on your own is it an abomination?
you know SouthWest always and would always have rich fertile soil and minerals. Should we break, no region will perish. Take note of that. But its your people who doesn't have anywhere else to go other that here and there to do business that will face the music most. Why do you think SE people return to West and North after the civil war?? Why can't they stay in East if its good for them. Don't pray for your destruction, just because you are eating 3 square meal comfortable today.
