Ugomba: Nigerians are in one chance with this many visionless low i.q rulers in Nigeria. Btw they have accumulated "stolen asset wealth" for their children. Agriculture is driving Holland economy. The Black Man Leadership skills is indeed questionable especially among Africa president. If you take a critical look at Africa, you'll but agree that we have chronic leadership and managerial skills; we've hardly got leaders that had/has vision and deep love for their people; most of our leaders are mere charlatans. Why should White leaders take us seriously? When did we read of a European or an American leader stashing away stolen wealth in African banks? Do we even have robust systems? Once a nation misses it in leadership, it's finished. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Originalsly: Sounds good to the ear and on paper but we need to take a close look. Like op said....crude oil is basically history.I have no problems with setting up palm oil refineries....adding value to the crops and making them marketable on the international market. Large scale farms are highly mechanized ... then the employees are poorly paid. Local residents would be displaced and more would lose their means of livelihood. Then who would take the responsibility of health problems caused by fertilizer run offs..... getting into the ground water.... absorbed by the fishes we eat..... insecticides sprayed in the air that we breathe? Do we really believe the FG would for a minute think of the health of its citizens? Then we would have the introduction of GMO crops that would cross contaminate and destroy indigenous crops. When we can't use seeds from our crops to replant...don't we have to dance to the tune of the piper? We should never allow our food supply to be controlled. We should learn from the mistakes of others. Corn was the staple of South America... grown locally throughout for yearssss.... until GMO corn was introduced and contaminated local corn. Locals can no longer grow corn... they turned to coca... the one from which cocaine is derived... and we are still wondering why South America is the biggest producer of cocaine.Agri... yes... put the infrastructure and stuff in place to encourage small scale farming let people see that there is money in organic agriculture. My view. Thanks for showing us the other side of the agroindustrialisation coin. Organic is the way to go. 1 Like |

obasiken: I was part of a team that introduced some foriegn investors to a governor in the south east. They wanted to start a palm plantation and refine the palm oil to meet europe standard before exporting it.
This plantation will employ 2000 people for a start and return about 1.5b per month to the state government. All they needed was land.
The governor asked us how long before ROI (return on investmvent). We told him 6 years cos palm tree takes time to grow. The governor told us he cannot be investing for his successor to come and reap.

Ugomba: Its time for the FG to take up Agriculture as an important sector to boost the economy in the face of dwindling Oil prices in the world. Now Lets look at ways FG can turn Agriculture into the New Crude Oil. AGRO-INDUSTRIALIZATION.
- A State_by_State Cash Crop Large Scale Farming Policy should be carried out and managed by FG.. Let every state give FG atleast 300km2 of fertile Land to Federal Government for Cash Crop Large Farming. For example. All South East States- Palm Oil All South West States- Cocoa. All South South States- Fish farming All North East States- Cotton All North West States- Sugarcane( for sugar) All North Central States- Rice. Now after that, let the FG team up with Private investors to build at least - 3 Palm Oil refining industries in the S.E - 3 Cocoa Processing industries in the S.W - 3 Fish Processing Industries in the S.S Then in the North. - 4 Textile Industries should be build in the N.E - 4 Sugar Manufacturing Industries in the N.W - 4 Rice Mill Industries in the N.C - This policy will attract more investors, create more jobs, boost the economy, Stop the reliance on crude oil and finally you will see that foreign investors will rush in to invest in these Cash crops products. - AGRO-INDUSTRILIZATION is an important policy that the Government should not ignore.

musicwriter: Only when it's backed by strong knowledge of science and technology, otherwise, it would just be a glorified subsistence farming. One farmer in the US could feed a state in Nigeria, not because they have more fertile land, but because SCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY is heavily applied to farming.
If you want to take Nigeria or any other country away from oil dependence, the first thing to do is lay the foundation for mass science education in our schools. Because, no nation can industrialize without science.
Science leads to technology, and technology leads to industrialization.
Science + Technology = Industry.
Science + Technology + Industry = Development.
This formula have worked for all industrialized countries in the world.
plenty of mass science education(mostly ineffective) |
