decode55:I am dear so don't blame me but you need to counter what APC said about the much acclaimed agric reforms in the country. |
^^^ Why not counter the claims of APC before brining in the usual PDP line of age, cert,religion etc? |
http://www.punchng.com/news/jonathans-acclaimed-success-in-agric-sector-fake-apc/ The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Organisation on Sunday described President Goodluck Jonathan administration’s acclaimed success in the agriculture sector as a ruse. The campaign organisation in a statement by its Director of Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said the woeful performance of the Jonathan Administration in the agricultural sector was evident from its failure to fulfil its promise that Nigeria would be self-sufficient in rice and wheat production by 2015. “President Jonathan has failed woefully in the agricultural sector, and all the self-praise of the administration on agriculture is simply a ruse,” the statement read in part. The statement also picked hole in the claim of government that farmers were now having unhindered access to fertiliser through the Growth Enhancement Scheme. It stated that President Jonathan had promised in 2010 to make Nigeria self-sufficient in rice and wheat production by 2015, however, “the grim reality on the ground today is that Nigeria emerged as the world’s highest importer of rice in 2015, and a whopping $11bn is spent annually by Nigeria to import rice, wheat, sugar and fish.” The statement also quoted a former Acting Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Dr. Sarah Alade, as saying that Nigeria as at 2014 spent $ 4bn on rice importation – “that is about N600bn annually on the importation of 2.1 million metric tonnes of milled rice. “This is after the Federal Government had approached the China Exim Bank for a loan of $ 1.2bn for the financing of 100 large-scale rice processing plants with a total capacity of 2.1 million metric tonnes. “The troubling truth today, is that Nigeria is nothing close to self-sufficiency in rice production and what we have at hand is a close web of corruption where government cronies stumble over each other to get import licences for rice.” The APC also noted that a similar unacceptable situation pertained to the importation of wheat, saying, “According to the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina, Nigeria’s wheat consumption as of year 2,000 was about two million metric tonnes. “But, by 2010, wheat importation to the country had risen to four million metric tonnes and Nigeria spends N635bn annually on wheat importation. “Five years into the Jonathan’s administration, Nigeria spends even more than we did in 2010 to import wheat; yet the government continues to brandish false achievements in the agricultural sector – a situation that is completely at variance with what President Jonathan promised Nigerians in 2010, saying that his government would make Nigeria save N635bn annually on rice and wheat importation.” On fertiliser accessibility to farmers, the APCPCO faulted the claim by the government that local farmers had unhindered access to fertiliser through the Growth Enhancement Scheme. On the contrary, the campaign group said what was getting to each farmer under the e-wallet arrangement, described as “excessively labourious and technically difficult for the farmers to work through” were two bags of fertiliser throughout the entire farming season. It added, “And government has not come out in one instance to tell Nigerians how much it receives as grants on fertiliser distribution to farmers from donor agencies.” “The government will want to give us the impression that fertiliser is being given to farmers free of charge. But we know that what subsists is a 50 per cent subsidy per bag of fertiliser. Our farmers are being shortchanged under this so- called e-wallet arrangement because of lack of transparency. “We may be looking at another subsidy scam over fertiliser unless the Jonathan administration comes out clean to tell us how much it has received as grants over fertiliser and how it comes about the 50 per cent subsidy per bag of fertiliser.” |
iPopAlomo:I'm not a Jehovah witness member but i believe creeds, style of worship, beliefs etc of everyone must be respected please. |
LRNZH:Na wah for you sef, can't you read the sarcasm in what he wrote? |
OAM4J:That part of the text you highlighted is so sickening and i doubt if she can ever extricate herself from this. |
FreeGlobe:This type of jargon pisses me off atimes,so because they're both Ndigbo, the truth should never be told and we all suffer for it at the end of the day. Soludo's piece was epic and his narratives classic. Aunty Ngozi's reputation has been smeared in the mud by this administration. |
Woww woww woww! |
IbnSultaan:They are determined this time, play safe bro |
IbnSultaan:I feel you guys, may God continue to guide his own. Our prayers are with you |
Loving this |
What are they waiting for? I knew GEJ had a grand plan from the beginning, now unfolding. |
I thought he's supposed to be looking straight at the camera instead of from the sides,at least that was what i was told. Something is amiss here. |
You're kidding me |
Who wants to go down with a sinking ship? |
Fourth page and nothing yet, tanoids ain't serious. |
Zoharariel:Bros this accusation is much o |
Like clueless president like vice,he said he'd lead for their search doesn't mean he'd be there physically but more committed unlike you both. See m0rons who led us for almost six years and will want to be voted in again. Chibok girl' case is now to be joked with. No wonder those two eediots have never been serious about searching for them. |
This should be in jokes section but make i ask you @OP,your clueless president with an A1 in mathematics and a ??Phd, did he even know any money was missing and when he got to know, what has he done about it? |
FreeGlobe:What's the outburst for? |
@OP really got me cracking on Jonathanian and Buharist, never seen both words being used in the same sentence. |
Beating the drums of war and some tanoids are so happy, when poo hits the fan, you all will be here facing the whirlwind and dodging bullets while those who started the war had all jetted out of the problem they caused with their utterances. |
Thank God he agreed he did nothing in the SS and didn't blame anybody as usual. ...edited.... http://www.punchng.com/news/amaechis-criticism-a-challenge-jonathan/ He actually blamed Amaechi...... “The DG (Amaechi) is telling Nigerians that I have not done this. That means that I am a transparent person. I did not allocate positions to my people. The DG would have been the very first person to expose me to the rest of the world; not just Nigeria. He would have taken me to America, to South Africa, to France, to UK, but that shows clearly that we mean well for this country" This man never seizes to marvel me. |
Typical of PDP and the saTANists, always ready to blame someone else for their misfortune. |
PDP should warn this guy to stop this,what's all the disrespecting for? |
PDP and lies, kontinu. |
Whoever is surprised with this should be caned. Soludo brought on several salient points about both parties and PDP led government would not speak on those points telling us how true or false, all they know is to try dent his name. |
NCC has been politicized |
Ndigbo don't know what they are doing to themselves because of politics, time will tell |
sincerenigerian:That's what GEJ and the saTANists had been planning all along |
