Excellent!

This is wat I want to see, this is what I want to hear.
Nigeria can't feed Africa, talkless of the world. Why can't we just focus on feeding Africa. I mean, everybody in Nigeria, govt, private and individual.....funny enough, Nigerians are copy cat, once it can work for one person, everybody will follow.

We have the land, we have the labour (people), we have the entrepreneurs.... Only thing we need is to get irrigation and storage right. This is why I maintain that this government is not serious they still talking and looking at oil....jokers!

I maintain, it is very easy, very very easy! Only seriousness is needed, let the government get d land, form partnership with experts in Asia.

The goal is to employ, with this Nigerians can be given 3 months renewable contracts. Different operations on the farm, you can start with d lowest pay of 30k monthly, its gonna be like a camp, provide temporary housing and feeding close to the farm....zero accommodation.

With this 30k (for unskilled workers), many youths will troop into sign their first 3 months contract cos they know the won't spend much during the 3 months as accommodation and feed has been taken care of.

Now you also have skilled workers, who will definitely earn more, temporary and permanent workers.

Gbam! All the proceeds goes to the govt or the cooperation involved. This proceeds can all be exported, buyers abroad can have more trust because they have dealing with govt or cooperations, now this proceeds can sell fast and the money reinvested.

Anything and everything that can grow should be planted. We have just 160m people in Nigeria and there are over 6billion in the world, we can't meet the supply. This simply means we can all be employed.

Federal govt, state govt, local govt....cooperation's , everybody should be involved in this, a jobless youth can sign 3 months contract with Enugu state govt, after working the 3 months, he or she moves to kano and sign another 3 months and work. Even if she's is a computer science graduate, she can manage this for some time before getting her computer job.

This is very easy, the govt just needs to be responsible. With this, even PDP will not have time for opposition coa they gonna be busy, and Nigerians can copy, once it works, it becomes a fever. We need to wake up! We need to and honestly it has to start from the government!

These are the kind of news we need in the South East.

Is it your money or land?

CSTR6:
Diversification, when the FG is budgeting far more for the ministry of information than agriculture.
The diversification must be in your dreams.
Btw, have you met any igbo man that is not smart, or atleast smarter than you.?

You and your fellow iPods are the worst advertisement for anything intellectual if you've not noticed , so your answer is a resounding YES!

Expect some mentions throughout the day as proof.

QuotaSystem:
Kudos OUK.




The smart businessman is keying into the diversification efforts of President Buhari, I expect him to benefit from the various waivers and grants that the FG has designed to encourage investors into agriculture.

Instead of screaming 'OYEL' up and down, Kalu has seen the future is green and not black, and is helping diversify the economy which the ineffectual buffoon failed to do.

These are the smart Ibo men. Kudos.

mrvitalis:

Bro even a 12000 heactres greenhouse will not cost such, the business is loan financed, what will be the collectaral?? Business like this was what nearly killed the banking sector
Instead to give youths that have sound business plan money they keep giving to this once that will never pay and they keep going to court
This is a scam, if he wants to do it, let him use his money

Who are you accountant general of world bank ?people like you will seat on keyboard and write on what they don't understand. When it comes to modern farming technologies says alot you don't no the type of technologies he want to use and you here rubushing him without knowing any details of the project. Modern farming is all about technologies not heactres land.

mrvitalis:

Lol, see what technology?? Irrigation or greenhouse? ? Improved seeds

Even if it's a 12,000 heactres greenhouse green house it won't be that expensive

See the trick is simple, bring this idea take loan from banks without collectaral, and vamus and the banks will suffer the burn.. ..
How may similar case ate in court??
