KingMEXX: Be sure before yu talk. Nigeria has been growing wheat for so many years, just that the volume of products has been low a bit. Here is a link to enlighten yu http://m.allafrica.com/stories/201308200465.html/?maneref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fm%3F%26q%3Dwheat%2Bproduction%2Bin%2BNigeria
Don't lie to people just because GEJ is involved and yu want to protect his image

alnaijiri:

Nigeria is too tropical for wheat farming, just like Europe is too cold in which to grow cassava.

alnaijiri:
Growing wheat is only possible in the North, where it is drier.

If only you knew how much Nigeria is losing by importing wheat flour and how if that foreign exchange is saved the good it will do to our economy in terms of creating job and re-distributing wealth you won't be making this Ignorant statement..

Your emphasis should be,if Cassava flour is replacing wheat let it be of high quality and also nutritious...

Babzilla: WHATS WITH THIS MAN AND CASSAVA BREAD?

What you dont know is that you have been eating this bread since last year december. Once you ve eaten bread from major bakeries like shoprite no publicity stunt about it. Its good, better than wheat. You know, cuz you already eat it. Just check what you eat and ask questions. Dont ridicule it cuz of the man who introduced it.

nuattitude74: Make una siddon for house dey take pot-shots and fire flaks at Jonathan. Truth is, farmers of Cassava in Nigeria are hitting the gravy train with the brilliant Agric Minister's initiatives. Cassava, that hitherto neglected crop, is in the news every other day. The other day, Nigeria signed a deal with China to supply that country with Billions of Dollars worth of Cassava chips. Y'all better find ways of keying into the Agric revolution currently staring you in the face. If you can access land in your village, just 5 to 10k can kickstart a Cassava farm. Before you know it, you go become supplier of Cassava to processing plants that produce Cassava flour. Bigger picture : in future, YOU could own a Cassava flour plant. You can benefit from the news above, if you are smart. Open your eyes and minds, people !

mooregan: Its a good thing. Most of us saying shouting don't have an idea in this field. Now if we can encourage cassava bread, this will reduce d amount of wheat we import. Though we can't have 100% cassava bread cos there is no gluten in it, it being mixed with wheat floor will reduce d import of wheat. Nigeria was once using 100% barley to brew n so much was spent on importation until d Structural Adjustment Programme(SAP) came n our indigenous Sorghum(guinea corn) was introduced to replace barley in brewing. Though it was rough at d beginning, 2day most beers in Nigeria r made with 100% Sorghum. So its a welcomed development.
