But honestly Nigeria is so predictable. The only news that will surprise us now is when they do the right thing. Like for example President Tinubu is currently on ground with the firefighters battling the inferno....PM news Ex President Buhari has taken a bold step to ensure total support and quick response to the affected victims....vanguard Peter obi has joined hands with tinubu to put out the fire...this day We are first humans before anything upon the face of the earth. |

For Retirees Only: Starting An N11 Million A Year Orchard With N40,000 and Only One Hectare - Ibraheem Dooba (Here’s how to earn more than 10 million yearly from your orchard with as little as N40,000. And you only need one hectare.) At the end of last year, when I consulted for a former head of service (HoS) on the management of his farm, I thought every retiree should do the same for financial security - planting a tree that’s never enough for global consumption. - Get one hectare of land. - Plant Brazilian cashews because they have huge nuts. That’s what we’re interested in, the nuts. -The tree is very tolerant of drought and can survive a 2-5 month dry season (Duke, 1983). Usually, one rainy season is enough. - It will start flowering in a year and get established in three years. - The spacing should be between 6 to 8 meters between trees. That means you should plant 165 to 175 cashew seedlings on one hectare. But just go for a round figure of 200. - A cashew seedling costs from N200 to N1,000. So that’s between N40,000 to N200,000 investment per hectare. In three years, your one hectare will give you one ton of cashew nuts. Using the current market price, that’s N3 million for your one hectare. - Just contact the National Cashew Association officials in your state, and they will buy from you or connect you to buyers. But if the cashew plantation will take up to three years to give you money, what can you plant between the cashews that will earn you money within a year? - Plant papaya. - Each papaya tree will earn you N30,000. Since you can plant up to two papayas between cashew trees, you will be tempted to plant a lot, but limit it to 200. - So, from 200 papayas, you will earn N6 million yearly. - Papaya should take only seven months before you literally start enjoying the fruits of your labour. But is there a plant that you can benefit from monthly, even before the papayas mature? - Yes. But that’s for another day. Stay with this page for an update. P.S. Plant the trees in straight rows because we need the spaces between rows to plant other crops that will give you daily or at least weekly income. Very interesting business idea. But this shouldn’t be for the retirees alone 😁 It’s equally a promising venture for our teeming youngsters and women. Agroforestry is a decent poverty alleviation mechanism. I challenge us to put more efforts in shaping the mindset of our people. It means a lot. |

*Navigating the Challenges of Doing Business in Nigeria* Doing business in Nigeria is fraught with challenges, including insecurity, poor management practices, and inconsistent policies. It is no surprise that many entrepreneurs who fail in Nigeria often find success in countries with systems that support business growth. Conversely, individuals who come from abroad to establish businesses in Nigeria often face significant setbacks, despite their success in more structured environments. A critical question arises: why do some individuals leave thriving businesses abroad to set up ventures in Nigeria? While it may seem logical to remain in a supportive business environment, we must not lose sight of the importance of contributing to the growth of our nation. What we build abroad benefits foreign economies, while what we create in Nigeria strengthens our nation. Ultimately, most of us will return home, and the need to improve our country becomes inevitable. The Nigerian business environment is characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA). This raises an essential question: how can businesses thrive in the face of such daunting challenges? How can entrepreneurs navigate insecurity, inconsistent policies, and other factors stifling growth? To move forward, we must identify the key issues affecting businesses and prioritize addressing them with utmost urgency. Nigeria has immense potential, with vast natural resources and a large population offering a ready market for innovation and enterprise. However, we cannot continue to live below our potential. It is imperative to come together to harness the greater good of this country. The business ecosystem is interconnected, and for the circle to remain intact, we must ensure stability, foster collaboration, and create an environment that supports sustainable growth. By doing so, we can transform Nigeria into a hub of economic prosperity and opportunity. The time to act is now. |

Maize farming in Nigeria is a critical agricultural activity that supports food security, animal feed production, and industrial use. The crop is widely grown across all regions due to its adaptability to diverse climatic and soil conditions, with high production in the North-Central, South-West, and North-West zones. Farmers employ both subsistence and commercial farming methods, using indigenous and hybrid varieties, with planting typically occurring during the rainy season. Despite its significance, maize farming faces challenges such as pests (e.g., fall armyworm), climate change, low access to inputs, post-harvest losses, and inadequate mechanization. However, opportunities exist to improve yields and profitability through the use of improved seeds, mechanization, irrigation systems, value addition, and government support programs like the Anchor Borrowers’ Programme. By addressing these challenges and leveraging available opportunities, maize farming can play a pivotal role in enhancing Nigeria's agricultural productivity and economic development. |

Let's look into the world of dairy farming . Nigeria's dairy sector has historically struggled to meet domestic demand despite having significant cattle populations. Here are the key aspects: Current Production and Demand: The country produces approximately 600,000 metric tons of milk annually, while demand exceeds 1.8 million metric tons. This substantial gap is filled through imports, costing Nigeria about $1.5 billion annually. Local production meets only about one-third of the national demand. Production Systems: Traditional pastoral systems dominate, primarily managed by Fulani herders using indigenous cattle breeds like White Fulani (Bunaji). These breeds typically produce 0.7-1.5 liters of milk per day, significantly lower than exotic breeds that can produce 15-25 liters. Some commercial farms use crossbred or pure exotic breeds, but these represent a small percentage of total production. Challenges: - Poor genetics of local cattle breeds resulting in low milk yields - Limited access to modern dairy equipment and cooling facilities - Inadequate veterinary services and animal health management - Poor feed quality and seasonal feed shortages - Limited access to finance for dairy farmers - Infrastructure gaps in the cold chain system - Knowledge gaps in modern dairy farming practices Market Structure: Most milk production occurs in northern Nigeria, while major consumption centers are in the south. The informal sector handles about 80% of locally produced milk, with direct sales to consumers or small processors. Large processors like FrieslandCampina WAMCO and Arla have established collection centers but still rely heavily on imported milk powder. Government Initiatives: The Nigerian government has implemented various policies to boost local production, including: - The National Dairy Development Programme - Import restrictions on milk powder to encourage local sourcing - Partnership programs with international dairy companies - Support for artificial insemination programs to improve cattle genetics Growing Demand Drivers: - Increasing population (currently over 200 million) - Rising urbanization and middle class - Growing awareness of milk's nutritional value - Expansion of dairy processing capacity - Increasing demand for yogurt and other dairy products Investment Opportunities: - Commercial dairy farm establishment - Modern milk collection centers - Feed production and pasture development - Dairy processing facilities - Cold chain infrastructure - Veterinary services and animal health products Future Outlook: The sector shows potential for growth with proper investment and policy support. Key areas for development include: - Genetic improvement programs - Modern farm management practices - Enhanced extension services - Better access to finance - Improved feed production - Development of milk collection infrastructure While challenges persist, the large demand-supply gap presents significant opportunities for investment and development in Nigeria's dairy sector. Success will require coordinated efforts between government, private sector, and development partners to address the various constraints while building on existing strengths. |

*The Impact of Logistics Challenges on Nigerian Business Operations* Logistics serves as the cornerstone of every business operation and significantly influences commodity pricing in the market. In Nigeria, businesses face unique logistics challenges that directly affect their profit margins. These challenges stem from multiple factors, including infrastructure deficiencies, security concerns, and professional conduct issues within the transportation sector. One of the primary concerns is the current state of our road transport system. While infrastructure challenges and security issues on Nigerian highways present significant obstacles, the professional conduct and qualification standards of commercial drivers remain a critical area requiring immediate attention. The regulatory role of transport unions at motor parks and garages appears insufficient in addressing these fundamental issues. Unlike in many developed nations, where commercial drivers undergo rigorous training and certification processes, Nigeria's logistics sector lacks comprehensive standards for driver qualification and performance monitoring. This gap has resulted in substantial financial losses for businesses due to delays, damages, and disruptions in supply chains. Furthermore, the absence of a robust driver monitoring and certification system has contributed to preventable accidents, endangering both lives and property. The need for systematic reform in our transport unions cannot be overstated. These organizations must be realigned with their foundational objectives of ensuring road safety and supporting economic growth. A comprehensive overhaul of the logistics sector requires engaging key stakeholders to implement: 1. Standardized driver qualification requirements 2. Regular professional development programs 3. Effective monitoring and accountability systems 4. Enhanced safety protocols and enforcement mechanisms While some challenges in the logistics sector may be beyond immediate control, addressing these manageable aspects through decisive action and stakeholder collaboration is crucial. The time has come for concerted efforts to transform Nigeria's logistics industry into a more reliable, professional, and efficient sector that better serves our nation's economic interests. How organizations and relevant authorities respond to these challenges will significantly impact the future of business operations and economic growth in Nigeria. Proactive engagement in implementing these reforms is not just an option but a necessity for sustainable development in our logistics sector. |
