Finally, we have a roadmap. What of Google maps?

It is very good to improve our Agricultural System & Farm Products in Nigeria, but you guys showed also look at the aspect of electing people that will teach illiterate and literate people (that have the interest in farming) on how to farm and harvest on a large scale, in that way you are expanding the knowledge of how to farm to the everybody in the country, so that farming can be practiced by everybody, in that way you are increasing the output of Farm Products.

That is my own view.

Your hero the drunk ineffectual buffoon husband of the grammarian cantankerous sheppo could not even launch any paper, instead, he set up committees upon committees and finally looted and shared our treasury with his gang of looters.
