Oil Mill not Oil as in petroleum


An oil mill is a grinding mill designed to crush or bruise oil-bearing seeds, such as linseed or peanuts, or other oil-rich vegetable material, such as olives or the fruit of the oil palm, which can then be pressed to extract vegetable oils, which may used as foods or for cooking, as oleochemical feedstocks

SalamRushdie:
Buhari remain a monumental failure

fulanimafia:
Brilliant.

In the next few years the fruits of the industrial and agricultural revolution going on in the north will be evident for all to see.

Meanwhile the world continues to turn away from crude oil as the value continues to fall.

Jaideyone:
honestly!!! Nigeria is on the path to self-sufficiency in food production.

yet some dvmb wailers wanted the government to flood the market with imported rice and kill the local market. all they care about is their stomach for today. they don't think about the future.

fulanimafia:


Most of them are economic illiterates hence their inability to understand the impact of our food import bill on the strength of the Naira.

But they'd be the first to shout $1 = N1.

Jaideyone:


they are just hell bent on criticising anything the Muslim president does even if it's the right. they are unrepentant bigots

Jaideyone:
remains*


if you have to insult a sitting president and call him an illiterate make sure you didn't fail English language at GCE level. that will make you a bigger failure

python1:

No, he didn't discover oil in Kano, he simply visited the biggest oil and rice Mills in West Africa. We know there are so many "big things" in S/East. We are also living witnesses to how goatluck ignored crude oil proceeds and moved "greenward" only to be hijacked by Buhari. .

adeolakemi:
if only I have right to take away life buharis wouldn't be a debate

python1:

Unfortunately, you don't have that right, but you have the right to hang yourself, I suggest you exercise your right or stfu.

Kano tumbin giwa.

NafeesaAA:
All those Articulated Jews and Kwankwasiyas should take not, 1.9 million votes is still intact. Just look, 8,000 Police officers, 3,000 Military & Paramilitary personals and yet they couldn't contain the massive crowd that came to see President Buhari. As his motorcade pass thru, the noise is deafening but yet you can see the commitment and sincerity of hope from his supporters.

On either side, people scream, wave and take pictures. As he slowed down to savour the moment, the crowd went wild for the 90 seconds and then a rapturous applause. Then, as soon as the limo was gone, you can practically read the contentment on their faces, they clearly got what they came for: a glimpse of President Buhari.

Buhari isn't just a political leader to people of Kano, he is a paternal figure, The Mai Gaskiya. These intimate designations speak to the close bond many Kanawas have traditionally forged with President Buhari. Perhaps the only national political leader to approach Buhari moment of naked popularity was a politician who knew something about Integrity. His name was Mallam Aminu Kano,.
