It's mostly African men, it's a sign of Low I.Q

Their fellow men in other races, Are doing great things, Inventing and creating stuffs to better the human life!

But as usual, Take a look at Africa? Collapsing everyday as a result of corruption, Yet they still have the gut to blame the white men!

The only safe place in south-africa is Orania, and it's habited by only white, Other parts are dangerous because of the blacks

Nigeria is f*cked up by the blacks themselves, Politicians thieving in billions and taking the money to a white man country Lol, Something a white man will never do

Congo should be the richest country in the world according to statistics, because it has the world largest natural resources, from gold to diamond, Silver, Crude-oil ABBL, But congo is ruined by the same blacks themselves

Zimbabwe was a thriving nation with everything in place when the white were at the helm of government, The black cried and protested that they wanted their country, That they want to rule their country, well, they were given power, Several years later, Look at what Zimbabwe has become? One of the wretched nation in the world, Their money is as useless as a toilet paper, The blacks led by Mugabe ruined the country


There are so many examples like that!!


Blacks are a problem to the world, They have empty head, They only thing they love is Sex, Money, Partying, Gangster, Music, And shit!

It's so sad
What is worse is that the Zims leader is now planning to give back the lands or repatriation. Because Zims neighbors haven't been helpful during its sanctions drought they have now resorted to do repatriation to foreigners who got the lands from natives forcefully in the first place.

We complicated simple actions and social expectations.

Lols, it doesn't work for the type of dogs (the weight and breed) you see there... Alot of the fat headed breed have a lock-jaw biology, very muscular, denser thicker bones, and aggression to match all the punishment from hitting to some extent depending on the breed.

Most people don't understand the level of damage that Borno experienced.

But yet, the government was to immediately discuss with the masses the majors they have employed to prevent this incident from happening across the country. After which, other majors to look into would've been ensuring that the state's activities is returned immediately. Rebuilding damaged schools and hospitals and other important facilities put into place to ensure that people with flood traumas are taken care of.

But rather, everyone is donating money to gain political votes when they seek any form of elections.
It is not surprising because team where sent to examine it but did nothing but taking in the money. Meanwhile the state of disrepair of that dam could be seen and tracked on Google Earth pro. The disaster was preventable or at the very least mitigate-able as there was the option to evac settlements.

Relations won't kill you.
This is not true.

I don't think you have experience in that department. I know several cases where the related people are bent on draining their well-to-do relatives simply because they are related and they feel entitled to their resources and hence do not respect the limits put on them by the owner. The leeching relative seem to see nothing wrong with what they do. I have seen it with Nigerians, seen it with Indians and Lebanese family dynamics too living here, even experienced it myself.

Where do you think the idiom about mixing family with business comes from? Or assertiveness and carving out spaces comes from? It is the entitlement, and depending on the traits of the people involved especially they one dependent on the other, it could be worse, I know someone who because he is the eldest child from the mother is claiming same in a step sibling who is number 2 from the same mother but first of his father. Somebody who has no business in that space (left out some data, but trust me even you would have exploded, using silly excuse to claim what is clearly not theirs or tied to a relation by blood).

Disgusting behavior just because of relationship is not acceptable.

AgricultureRe: FG Releases Drought, Pest-resistant Maize To Double Output by yongg:
Heffalump:
Which one is pest resistant maize? Is that not GMO? Won't that cause havoc to human consumers? So, pests cannot eat the maize while humans can devour it. OK oo.

As for me, the biggest threat to farmers is not pests and draughts, but fulani herds men. If the government can put the ugly manners of fulani herders in check, Nigeria won't have issues with pests.
That is not just the only threat. Threats are of all manner and of all kinds. The GMO practice itself possess a threat to make farmers solely dependent on suppliers for seed as a number of versions cannot be regrown from their seed after first plant, are you not seeing that portion of slavery, weaponization (ever head of the Tuskegee experiment, there are many modern equivalents we may never find out hidden in plain sight, you know how western influences are unaudited thoroughly here, right?) and capitalistic dependence? Corporate entities suck the decentralized ability of farmers to make food into a corporation, so that there's tyrannical ability, real threat of food shortages, the possibility of things to the creative mind.

The world is growing in wickedness or greed (depending on your perspective), lols, sometimes the powers, systems, bombard (or distract) with multiple threats and give an illusion of choosing your poison, having one feeling like one is better or more tolerable. Anticipate, fight, resist and proactively remove every opportunity for such ideation to even lay a foot hold on your borders. I wish Nigerians, Africans could open their eyes and thoroughly cut their dependence from exterior entities so that when push comes to shove they can actually stand on their own, truly self-sufficient and only relate with outsiders because they can and want to and from a strong negotiation point, not desperate need.

Funny enough, even after testing the regrow ability of the seeds, there might be no sure way to tell that the "regrow ability" cannot be controlled to give the perception of regrowing but only limited to X number of generations before it completely stops so that, the corporations can seem to have the ability to correctly predict when there will be a food famine (because they engineered it all this while).

Nigerians are giving their attention to tribal and ethnic scuffles, useless agendas in the whole scheme of things, simple roads, electricity etc that have been solved problems since the 1990s, issues we have the funds, resources and man power to have gotten past like since forever and focus on more important aspect of living and exporting solutions. Instead we are willingly giving our hands to be tied by all manner of western, eastern, northern and southern dependence which are absolutely needless...

So now about the topic, the question is what solutions are necessary to enjoy the GMO benefits while simultaneously ensuring that natural seed are not threated, wiped out or extinct, and the decentralization of farming is maintained. Else it will be like subscribing to satellite TV like DSTV and simultaneously losing access to free-to-air TV channels, and radio (that is free) and you cannot communicate with other humans by word of mouth, so that when you cannot or are unable to subscribe you have absolutely no access to information


While using the GMO seeds, alongside find a way to use the natural seeds separately store, keep them active, alive and recycle them by regrowth and harvest (while still having some in storage to protect from background radiation whether natural or artificial, you know some airplanes that fly are not necessarily doing it for your own good, neither are they for transport either) maybe 80:20 (or whichever percentage distribution of your choosing that is applicable to your situation).

To be realistic, no matter how hard you try, some things you cannot completely stop from happening, so be wise to extract the good and mitigate the bad. Some things are just tools extract the goodness no matter the situation tactically.

BluntCrazeMan:
My brother,, the data is not there.
The data you are requesting if not there should also be a function of the NBS, the nation's bureau of statistics.

It is not a question of scaling the tax net, infact that is the easiest thing to do but because the country has a habit is squandering and actively encourages this by its inactions, lack of will to make policy in that direction, witch-hunting for the sake of it, ethnicity or blind loyalty, instead of prioritizing and making transparent every movement of funds, and delivering consequences on time for erring action and enforcing a system which adequately rewards the fulfilment of KPIs and expedition of related legal and judicial processes, and also following up on the facility/infrastructural maintenance cycle (they always tend to stop at project end cycle) even though the project costing and evaluation of the qualifying bid may have included the maintenance cycle for a minimum number of period service delivery... Talking about the facility management cycle portion, I have not see a wide spread network of infrastructure marshals work whether in the police, military police or civil defense operatives to prevent realtime vandalism and destruction of property, instead they priotize redundant and needless work functions and following politicians about. Just this morning, a thieving person attempted to steal cables from a transformer located around the vicinity of the international airport, now where were the marshalls or surveillance structure to make sure that I did not happen in the first place or provide a record to go after the erring entity post-incident?


Simply put they are not output centric, because if they were, I assure you even your opinion would be inadequate in comparison to the solution-centric filters they will put in place to make sure things work. When, enough Nigerians wake up, the place will be to hot to tolerate deliberate wastage of time, human and material resources.

It is a systems problem.

Even the remission processes in some spheres may contain loopholes known to parties who feel they are greater than the law and the rest of the land by cornering a good chunk for private use. If you have ever been to for example Oshodi, one of the biggest LCDA in Lagos, any sensible person can easily estimate the amount of tax remission possible with the existing methods meanwhile its use is not seen because, the roads are bad and don't get repaired until it has cost the state(not even LCDA because the effects are cascading) billions in losses over and over again.

The Nigerian community, private, public or even legal does not often enforce and insist accountability from projects monitoring units of their state governments so that every bid winner defends project delivery against funds release for said projects so that every movement of fund is tracked and adequately and correctly released. When they do, the probing, tribunal, dispute resolution or judicial processes frustrates the solution and participants take advantage of the processes to extract as much funds as possible not paying attention to the end result and adequate and speedy delivery of judgement.

Haven't even mentioned "double taxation" and how they let all manner of "illegal taxation" thrive, from street urchins, to unknown gun men, bandits and terrorists and even from law enforcement. No adequate identifiers to let all parties know when a certain tax is illegal or not, deliberate opacity and high handedness to coerce their victims to comply. smh

If the average monthly earnings is NGN1.78m or above why not?.

As at 2021, data I gathered suggested an average Nigerian NEEDED at least NGN 1.3m monthly for modest living, nothing fancy, just modest living.

So going by the trending inflation a few years after that, that figure will invariably now be NGN 2.6m monthly and above.

I found it quite funny that alot of people were clowning labour lead Ajero when he mentioned the 1m figure as minimum wage... You guys think the figure heads in this country really care going by their actions? Something the masses should have taken seriously....

With all things being the same that figure was perfect, achieve the wage figure, worry about inflation later, that should be government's job. If the inflation increases again, keep on raising the wages commensurately until sense return to their dome to regulate the economy better.

With the same seriousness banks look after their money, or greedy politicians parading the Nigerian halls of power should be the same seriousness the Nigerian citizen takes their welfare and ensure commensurate and equal amount of service paid for no mincing of words or laxity.
