Only Agriculturalists will understand this better

Thank you jare, people are just posting meaningless comments with reckless abandon. I'm not an agriculturalist but I perfectly understand the need to import those grasses. One major benefit is that it will stop these fulani herds men from moving about killing people and destroying farmlands like we're experiencing now.

Cn sum1 pls sumarize it? It's too long! I can't read this and still read my book. I don't want to know more

teepain:



Let us eschew partisanship and be objective about these issues.

The government claims that they have discovered Grasses that have 28% Crude Protein, do we have any grass in Nigeria, either in the North or South, that have such high protein? To the best of my knowledge there is none. So what is wrong in importing such highly proteinous gas with a view to domestically grow it.

If government implements this idea correctly animal husbandry in Nigeria would witness a revolution.

Cheers.

The countries experiencing this revolution u talk about all imported grass??

alexlee50:
how can you compare palm tree with grass? Don't u know palm tree is an economic tree? U want to compare it with grass?why can't they task our research insttitutes to produce high yield grass? Na import dem one go import. Shame on you for supporting rubbish..the hypocrisy of psychophants of this government knows no limits

demzey:

Mr. Man i read d shii, palm fruits n grass, are day d same? D revenue frm d palm fruits, sud b der major source of income, what has grass got to offer us? To feed what? Wen humans r gettin hungrier by d day.

Einl:

That's because palm trees are cash crops... grass isn't.
There is no amount of explanation or write-ups or essays you can you to defend the importation of grass. Sorry.

lomprico:

And you are a bigger disgrace! Malaysia took samples and went on to develop, they did not import our palm kernel!
Why cant your country do same. Keep supporting mediocrity shame on you.

Malaysia did not import our oil palm seed. They took a sample and develop it. They gave us half of what they developed but Obasanjo mis manage the strain. We need to develop the strain not import and consume.

Brethren read please. The grass would be imported to crossbreed with Nigerian grass and then increased.

Brethren reading really doesn't hurt. I'm not an APC loyalist because I know that's the angle you guys are thinking my comment is coming from. The writeup was done by an expert in this field. It makes sense.

Well apologies but my point was Malaysia imported something, don't know exactly what but they imported from us and developed it. We want to import to develop our grass. What's bad in that
Read brethren.

People should stop posting meaningless comments with reckless abandon. I'm not an

understand the need to import
those grasses. One striking benefit to me is that it will stop these fulani herds men from moving about killing people and destroying farmlands like we're experiencing now.

Too sad.... Whn a policy is bad is bad. How would it take for a cattle to take in n put to birth n grow grass for both? Special grass lol. Another means to steal money. You go cut grass from somewhere n say u imported it.

Some very smart people already started investing into cultivating Brazil grass for onward shipment to the North, we dey here dey yab minister... Abeg this is a trillion naira industry for Christ sake. Lagos claimed she consume 12 million cows a year...@100k/cow that's 1.2 trillion in Lagos alone

You made some good points which I must say are valid. I am not a nutritionist but I would suggest we import what the Brazilians used in multiplying the nutrients in their grass rather than importing the grass. When Malaysia took our palm oil ideas they went for our Palm fruits not our Palm trees so how about importing chemicals or fertilizers that will multiply and enrich the grasses wasting in the south then move most to the north thereby creating jobs and helping our economy to grow instead of importing grass which I know will be left to dry if care is not taking due to corruption in high places. I would like you to correct me if I am wrong, thanks.

One of the greatest impediments to the progress of the black man and the black race is our inability to read, our inability to discern and our inordinate urge to 'respond' even before we listen.

The article simply exposes the ignorance of all those castigating the plan to import high nutrient grass seedlings for cultivation in Nigeria. This firstly, is standard practice in agriculture all over the world, but common sense is obviously not too common especially when political sentiments are involved. I can swear on my life that 95% of the respondents above did not read beyond the 3rd line, but mostly read the title and proceeded to comment. Maybe if they read the article, they would have firstly realised it was written by an independent veterinarian and not the minister (as the title implies) and they would have also seen some sensible points.

If it takes decades of research to genetically create a new specie of high nutrient grass which has the capacity to boost beef and milk production beyond our imagination, then my common sense tells me it is definitely silly trying to re-invent the wheel; the sensible thing to do is to take the short-cut by simply obtaining those already optimised grass seedlings and growing them here in Nigeria. Just the same way we imported improved flood resistant rice seedlings some years back which has in no little way contributed to the rice revolution in different parts of Nigeria today. For clarity for those who are oblivious of this, "grass is not grass" and there is a reason why people spend several years studying agriculture in the university and research institutes even when our great grand fathers knew exactly how to sow and reap basic food crops.

A point of note in the article is milk production, Nigeria imports over 90% of the milk it consumes spending over $200m annually on this. A typical Nigerian milk cow produces 200kg of milk annually whereas a typical European milk cow produces up to 6500kg of milk annually, i.e. over 3000% more milk production. The main difference is the nutritional content of the feedstock these cows consume. Ironically, the same people who protest the plan to import improved grass seedlings (for planting) to improve our beef and milk production do not protest the billions we spend importing milk yearly; these same people (probably because of warped political logic) did not also see anything wrong when improved rice seedlings were imported few years back to help boost Nigeria's rice production capacity.

What I find most disheartening about these comments I have quoted is that most of the respondents here are youths, educated youths; and then we begin to wonder why the old have refused to relinquish power. They may claim not to be agriculturists, but that is definitely no excuse for this ignorance because anyone with even partial education should be able to discern these things. If only we can sometimes purge our minds of flimsy political sentiments, then some of these things are just common sense.

LEarn to read, read the article and get some education into your skull. Nobody here is talking of elections of TRANSFORMATION and CHANGE. You are obviously lost and, just like several others of your colleagues here who are still stuck in the past 2015.

That is the problem we have, a lot of dead brains like you all over Nigeria. Knowing how to read and write is not wisdom. The old SSCE holder u voted knows even if your parents send u to University, you'll still reason like a pupil. It's only a clueless and insensitive unrepentant old man that they made a President that will leave the pressing issues in his country and be cooking up stories and reasons so he can import grasses for his cows. Zombie will always be Zombie.

repogirl:
All this long story just to defend the importation of grass?

Honestly, if half the effort that went into producing that thesis was set aside to find suitable grass, by now our cattle populace will be happily munching away at our local salad. The Minister doesn't even want the cows to exercise anymore. Rather kept on the couch, growing pot bellies filled with imported 'junk grass' food. Very soon our cows will be having cardiac arrest and stroke. Minister hmmm....

The seedlings I think are being imported. Not the first time we are importing such... The Akintola shrub was also imported from south America in the 60s.

As animal rearers, Jessam cattle ranch and farms, I have to say this is good idea, even in the southern states during dry season there is hardly an quality vegetation to feed our livestock. When he refers to importing grass, he does not mean it will be continuous exercise but merely a short term program to introduce a more sustainable specie of grass that can take hold in the country, after which Nigeria will be self sufficient on our own grass. You can't compare importing grass to other useless things Nigeria imports, this multiplys and eventually takes hold, that it is no longer needs to be imported unlike tooth picks, shoes, frozen chicken etc.

One only has to look at how malnourished Nigeria livestock is to conclude that they lack good quality nutrition, feed is the biggest cost input in the livestock industry. In the western world most livestock are fed maize, In Nigeria most livestock rearers simply can't afford to feed their animals a diet dominated by maize. Can you imagine how much maize will rocket up in price if Nigeria livestock is fed maize, animals will be eating better than most Nigerian citizens as maize products will then become unaffordable. Also do you then think you can afford to buy cows, goats, pigs etc if they are fed a maize based diet. For these reasons we need a cheap source of good quality freely available feed, that is grass. If we don't have it, lets import temporarily to get it to grow in Nigeria

Nalikedis:
You know why some of our previous government failed? They try to pacify some a retrogressively selfish populace.

Okay o in order to reduce malpractices in UME I try to introduce CBT next thing association of miracle centers will start mobilizing... Okay o you will stop dumping refuse in drainage o or u pay fine if caught... Next thing market women will start rally against it... You must not carry 2 people in front of a car, before u know what NURTW will declare strike... Okada rider must use helmet o, next thing na for the Okada driver to start burning tires... Wan sack NFA because officials dey embezzle, next thing na FIFA sanction... If you plan to make changes , better u focus on your mission and allow the result to speak for or against you. If the ministry of agric believe that importation of grass seedlings from Brazil will transform our livestock terrain... If it will at least stop Fulani onslaught, fine. If it will improve production by 600% great... Why waste your time explaining to people that are not willing to understand

Believe me.. Most of the negative comments are from ignorant persons..
I gulped down the whole Epistle and saw a whole lot of sense in it...
As a Pasture Agronomist who has researched and seen the views of Pastoralist this would go a long way to stop the fulani herd's men conflict....

Now I understand why Buhari no dey waste his time explaining some of his actions. Even when the govt explains, we are in a hurry to comment and not even read. This article makes lot of sense and Nigeria is not the only country doing this. I was in Ethiopia last year and I was given a tour of the government's agric transformation project. This is a critical component of what they are doing.

Just imagine if the Fulani are not going from one point to another killing people and destroying farms. Just imagine the peace that will reign.

It is not everything that is PDP versus APC; it is not everything that you should oppose. I believe any man that forms an opinion without even listening to an argument is an eediot and we are seeing an increasing number of eediots these days.

It doesn't work like that ma'am, Unless you've worked with grasses before - you'll understand well the statement

The modifications you suggested would cost them much more than importing the grasses..this however has not taken into account the years of research and development that would yield the intended result - which would gulp about 20 years of time.

Let me give an illustration of why few samples might not be so visible..

Some traits and attributes of a good grass are 1. It has the ability to colonize an area. 2. It is highly digestible (has a lower retention time in the rumen). 3. It contains the require chemical constituents in the correct amounts 4. Its perrenial (long lived) 5. Drought tolerant

Prof. Mrs. A. O. Jolaosho sometimes back brought a modified grass Panicum maximum var Ntchisi back in about 2006 or thereabout from Kenya.. She brought few sample of the promising grass.
I can affirmatively tell you that in spite of the its aggressiveness and high level of productivity the grass entails, it has not fully colonized the University in which she brought it...

That's why the massive importation might be of better help.. It would also open up new business lines in terms of conservation when there's excess in the rainy season for use in the dry season for year round feeding..

This incentive however the case would be of great help..

Most Tropical grasses don't have seeds that are Viable... If the grass is aggressive enough, it would start to re-grow anywhere it drops..

When Malaysia took our palm oil ideas they went for our Palm fruits not our Palm trees so how about importing chemicals or fertilizers that will multiply and enrich the grasses wasting in the south then move most to the north

Fertilizing grasses dosen't necessary mean you'd yield the desired output. Fertilization regimes might help boost yield, but not neccessary quality which is lacking

Thereby creating jobs and helping our economy to grow instead of importing grass which I know will be left to dry if care is not taking due to corruption in high places. I would like you to correct me if I am wrong, thanks.

Like stated earlier, the grasses would not dry if aggressive enough.
Development, conserving and utilization of grasses is an untapped gold mine only if youths would look into it. Conserving grasses as hay and silage and selling in the dry season would go a long way to create Jobs. The funny thing is that you get the already free pasture available following the due process of conservation and you're your own boss..

Nope.. They would import the grasses (highly aggressive one's) and incorporate it into the existing natural pasture (This transforms the Natural Pasture lands to what we called oversown Pasture lands)
That way the we would have less of the UN-improved varieties and more of the improved over-sown varieties. Which would last longer into the dry season.
Smart Individuals like your person who would see this as an advantage can go into Hay and Silage Making and sell the conserved grasses to the fulani's in the dry season..
When the fulani's see that stationary farming improves the milk production, beef production, profit and reduces the stress of Walking around, they'll finally settle and stop killing.. I'm not saying it is going to be an instantaneous process, but we have to start from somewhere..

And they don't refrigerate grasses... As a matter of fact, refrigerating it might kill it...

Tnx noted correction taken

Even if u give d fulanis such a specialised ranch, they cnt do witout bn mobile. It's an essential part of their culture. If d fulani peeps had fed their cattle in peace witout encroaching on farmlands then dis issue wldnt arise. Stop makin it as if those commenting r doing so witout reasoning. It doesn't nid 1 2 be an agriculturist 2 understand d issue. Otherwise, i'd see agriculturists as lame wen it comes 2 certain issues outside their scope of knowledge

Since u r agriculturist, it means ur knowledge is a waste as govt hv no need for ur creative ideas rather they prefer importation. Think abt it. It doesn't tk 1 2 be an agriculturist 2 undstnd d issue n it's implication on our forex n d ailing economy.
