Na oil make Big company like Ajaoku Steel Company no dey function. Now, we need to build concrete roads with imported Iron rods bought with dollars. |

JapaNinja: Indeed, broomcorn is an unusal word, but really logical. The reason is that sorghum has quite stiff panicles (flower branches which divide into sub-branches) that make it very useful in making brooms and brushes.
