You don't have to be feudalistic about everything. Just see what needs to be seen for once. There are large swathes of rural Land currently unused in SW States with population less than 5 million (virtually all SW States apart from Oyo). From your talk that urges SW Governors to be protectionist, as if everything is now a competition, it seems you don't realize that regional integration means the exact opposite of your thinking i.e cooperation and beneficial inter-dependence instead of feudalism and protectionism. Lagos needs support and decongestion and it can, in turn, provide economically beneficial activities for others. SW States and administrators appreciate this. The massive demand for food in Lagos can spur employment in other States of the SW and aid the migration of labour away from Lagos. The idea is that the SW becomes essentially one State where competitive advantage, population, market size, demand for goods, specific State endowment, peculiar needs et al is used proactively and unitedly to bring progress for all. 13 Likes |

Gbawe:ehn ehn Mr. Gbawe, you don come again oh! What if the other South West Governors make use of the land? Will Lagos' population not still benefit from it, or why must it be Fashola who will have to wake them up from their slumber? I am not trying to encourage competition here, but trying to understand why no other governor could come up with such idea of massive farming before Fash. 3 Likes |

Standing5: Have you studied, in detail, specific plans and ongoing efforts regarding what SW Governors like Fayemi, Amosun, Aregbesola are doing for the development of the agriculture sectors in their respective States? Do you think SW States assisting Lagos when they can comfortably do so, and thus fulfilling obligations of integration, translate to neglecting their own initiatives and drives towards agricultural development and local food security? We just discussed a thread a few days ago about Osun establishing Cattle ranches as a first in the SW and targeting the Lagos market !!! Let us stop this simplistic feudalism in an age of idea and increasing cooperation. If you really want to gain information then search for it. It will be quickly apparent to you that SW Governors are not in some servant-master relationship with Fashola to the detriment of their own State. They all have solid plans for agriculture but may be predisposed to assisting Lagos because they all have population density , far less than Lagos, that means they have more arable land than they need. 6 Likes |
Re: Lagos To Harvest From 10,000 Hectares of Land Acquired From Other States by Standing5(m): 7:47pm On Oct 26, 2012 |
Gbawe:I don't think they have more arable land than they need, as they can always sell off their excess harvest to meet other pressing needs. They have a far lower population density compared to lagos and therefore, can afford to assist Lagos with some of their land while they are rest assured Lagos will utilize those land to the fullest with immediate effect. 1 Like |

No data on how many tonnes of food or what kind of food. After a while we get tired of promises and wish to see results. The more important question is; is the adventure of the state government into agriculture PROFITABLE? Why not leave farming to farmers and fishing to fishers and focus. Are the Lagos farms more or less productive per hectare than similar private farms. We are not stupid and must always ask questions. Why is this a good thing to do ? What next Lagos to open eateries and beer parlours? At the end of the day the food will not be given away it will be sold in the market like every other farmer and they will need logistics;transport storage waste and theft management these things are very inefficient in Nigeria generally and it is naive to expect government to perform above average. Just like the much orchestrated Zimbabwe farmers,Operation Feed the Nation and similar bullshit we never seem to learn. yes government can and maybe should suppport farming but must government become a farmer? Does the knowledge/expertise exist in Lagos government? The only possible gain to Lagos is if they have very strong contracts with the states they acquired the lands from protecting them against compulsory re-acquisition and also have the option of selling or using the land for non-agricultural use as far farming is concerned this is money down the drain Even in Lagos State there are several failed government farms which have been taken over by civil servants and politicians at give away rates even this year. Often these farm lands were acquired "in the public interest" and the government has had to return them to the original owners.Usually this involves politicians and civil servants taking a hectare or two before they sign the return papers. It is those that do not know Lagos well that can be bamboozled by stunts |

I don't think that Lagos state have any business with farming; meaning the previous Govs didn't make any provision for them. I will bet my lil 5k that in the next 10 to 15yrs, those lands will be converted to mega estates by subsequent administration Ǧ☺☺ϑ initiative though |

All what we are seeing is part of a deliberate plan ,that has been explained and illustrated extensively several time, to lead the SW back to it's days of agricultural glory. There is nothing adhoc going on anywhere. Others who should be busy telling the administrators in their own regions to plan and lay solid plans for the future are here embracing mischief and negativity. What is going on in the SW , as par agriculture, is very impressive. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/08/swest-unfolds-plan-to-boost-food-production/ S/West unfolds plan to boost food production 2 Likes |

When they start unfolding food and not plans people will be convinced. The so called agricultural glory was always on the back of private farmer NEVER government owned farms . In Lagos invariably the farms are robbed blind and will end up in the hands of ACN chiefs. there are several of those in Badagry.This is not all that bad if they knew what they are doing farming wise but too often they are guessing |

It is not unveiling the bride that the granmother is after it is grandchildren Fellow Nairalanders let us try and eschew negativity for its own sake alone. Please indulge me and use the link below to see more than one bag of Rice from the Imota Rice Factory. The people involved in these initiatives are not fools. They are experts and technocrats who have innovatively delivered solutions all their working lives in their specific area of expertise. Many have gotten involved to better the lives of all of us .It is then good we at least make minimal efforts to be aware of their plans and ongoing activity before commenting negatively. Pictures of many bags are seen below. What next? The bags are heading to Tinubu's Bourdillon compound? It is unhealthy that so many want to come and argue here daily on the strength of their misconceptions and penchant for negativity alone. http://www.lagosagric.org/index.php/gallery/imota-rice-mill 5 Likes |

Those pictures have been displayed ON NAIRALAND before and there was a good debate. I asked two questions for a simple test. I knew You would ignore the more important one and answer the obvious. The issue is not for me,about Tinubu save that for your usual combatants. The issue for me is "There is no credit in doing the wrong thing well" should government be doing this and how efficient is it. I know for a fact of several government farms in Lagos that have been mismanaged with their produce stolen.There is one at Itamaga in Ikorodu it is NOW in private hands,why?? it failed under government.It was transferred in Fashola's watch. I don't blame him. It failed long ago but if he cannot revive that why should we believe going to other states will change the fundamental problem which is not an ACN or PDP issue. The Lagos state civil service are quite inefficient and corrupt and this is very much the case in the agricultural sector. I do not believe Lagos State can manage these ventures efficiently based on their track record. Lagos State whether ACN or PDP. Farm after farm has failed in Lagos ending up in the hands of one commissioner,Perm Sec or party bigwig.They are still there, rural Lagosians know this too well. Palm oil farms,poultries and yes Sugar cane too ALL in Lagos. Like I said before I KNOW LAGOS INSIDE OUT and no one can bamboozle me about agric in Lagos. If They are to be convincing they must partner with credible farmers with a TRACK RECORD otherwise they are just gambling By the way my question was HOW MANY TONNES HAVE been milled to date. We know that those bags on display were milled from imported rice as part of a test run. Surely they would not not commission it without testing it??Those pictures were published on the day of commissioning.What has happened since. What is the average capacity utilization and does it make economic sense. These questions are normal analytic questions anyone would ask. Quite why they must be taken personally is a big mystery. What does Tinubu have to do with any of this? If the government is sure of itself let it publish data. 4 Likes |

aribisala0: Those pictures have been displayed ON NAIRALAND before and there was a good debate. Man mi, you said and I quote: Even a photo of ONE bag of rice from this mill would be nice Everyone knows why you said that. When shown pictures of bags of Rice you change tact rather than just simply admit you spoke hastily and without enough information. Look, I have no interest in discussing anything further with you. For one, your arguments are pedantic and routinely negative more than anything else - regardless of how you dress them in the toga of objectivity. Secondly, continuous discussions with you will only end in you getting personal and insulting mothers, father etc. Others are now "combatant" because they respond directly to puncture your assertion?
