Jonathan’s Agric Revolution A Big Scam – Gov Oshiomhole by Nobody: 1:29pm On Aug 16, 2015 |
Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State has described the gains of the immediate past administration of President Goodluck Jonathan in the agricultural sector as a big scam that was used to fool Nigerians. According to him, the much hyped agricultural revolution of President Jonathan, was a big scam as the nation is import dependent on rice and other foods. Specifically, the governor accused the past government of fritting away over N800billion on waivers for rice millers and others at the detriment of local rice producers, most of who have since gone bankrupt. “The agriculture revolution was one of the advertised achievements of President Goodluck Jonathan but we have since realised that it was purely a scam on us. It is also a policy contradiction where a government will give waivers and support importers to import what can be produced locally putting its own people out of business while enriching other nations. Local manufacturers that produce locally are punished.” Expatiating, he said: “Unfortunately for us, rice millers imported rice without even paying duties, as a nation we should not be seen to be importing what is locally produced. Where then is the success story in the sector? Agriculture is not about bow-ties and designer suits but hard facts that cannot be uncontroverted.” He urged the immediate prohibition of food imports noting that if it’s achieved, food prices will only go up immediately but will stabilise and be attractive enough for young Nigerians to go into farming. http://www.ripples.com.ng/jonathans-agric-revolution-a-big-scam-oshiomhole-2/ |

merry02: but the guy is so on point : advertising the agricultural ministry as making Nigeria rice independent on one hand, while on the hand giving government cronies a free reign of bringing in rice with complete waivers makes absolutely no sense. THE AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION WAS INDEED A SCAM. THERE IS NO OTHER EXPLANATION; if there was indeed so much improvement in rice production by local farmers, hoe would they be able to sell with so much influx of rice without any duties being paid on then 2 Likes |

It seems the world bank loan which was used to pay his dowry to Lara is not enough for this callous slanderer. The waivers program was a short term initiative done until the local industry would be able to compete with its foreign competitors. Has the govenor ever eaten abakaliki rice before. It's not yet at the standard that we Nigerians are accustomed to. GEJ knowing how Nigerians react to a policy that is tasking and long-term in nature, decided to carry out the policy in stop gap phases. No one can say the agricultural policies were not felt by the nation. If they were fictitious like he claims, then why is the former minister now the head of the African Development Bank. At the end of APC's four years, let's see if any of their future Ministers from Mars will be recognised globally 5 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Jonathan’s Agric Revolution A Big Scam – Gov Oshiomhole by socialmediaman: 4:55pm On Aug 16, 2015 |
hinwazaka: Rice has always been imported big time since the OBJ days, from the Vaswani brothers to the Dangotes, they didn't need import waivers at all. The import waivers were meant to encourage local production, not encourage importation of food. Under the same import waivers, petrol importers were getting waivers also, all of which cost us $20 billion dollars loss of revenue initiated through the NIPC alone, talk less of others we don't know. In fact we got wind of this one because Okonjo Iweala frowned at the NIPC about the massive fraud and someone got the memo leaked and got sacked by GEJ. It's crazy man, they have ripped your country into pieces while they're using sentiments to divide and rule you. Never again man! Let the "one" Fulani man whom I know has the balls to get back at them do the needful, I don't care! |

socialmediaman:Allegations, Allegations, Allegations that's all I hear from the APC. You all seem to run only on conspiracy theories. If these was partly true, you think the ex-minister would have been shortlisted not to talk of being picked for the ADB job. And another thing, not everyone is like you. I support the PDP and especially the last regime simply because they are innovative and know how damaging a government prone economy will be in a fast paced global market. I will not join the bandwagon to support a man who in his last two stints in government failed to understand the need for protocol, procedures and innovative intelligence in tackling issues 1 Like |

Meanwhile what i wrote earlier had nothing to do with the ex-minister of agriculture. i'm talking about importation here and agric happened to be among the products fraudulently added to the list |
