This man is genius,Marijuana is now legal for medical purposes in some states in the us, other countries in the world as well!! Imagine exporting quality marijuana to the United States or even Canada we only depend on oil in this Nigeria!! This is a very good plan

majekdom2:
the reason we are poor is because we think about the now now now. Eat it all now. We don’t have long term thinking. What has happened to oil. Same way we ate all the money from oil “now” and couldn’t invest. Can’t we create technology like other nations. What is the market worth of emerging technologies and what is that of weed. If it will take 15 years to do anything meaningful with technology, why not invest now. You don’t know what the future holds. When China started investing in technology, there was nothing like smart phones but as technology evolved, they were able to compete because they invested already and that’s why they can “borrow” Nigeria money... the youth that went into yahoo, what is stopping them from innovating and doing. Something meaningful. Must we do crime. Cannabis can grow anywhere. What makes him think they will buy Nigerian weed.

Ten12:
I can now understand why Sahara reporters are always dishing rubbish as news...

lefulefu:
well drug users will think he's making sense. U tell me who's going to buy weed on a huge commercial sale from nigeria. He hasn't talked about the possibilty of producing and exporting cassava on a huge commercial sale,he hasn't talked about palm oil. He is talking about weed.maybe soon he will be talking about exporting cocaine..smh.

not really,, I just like the idea,, u won’t know the demand for weed cause it’s illegal n u don’t hv friends that smoke who travel n return!! I know a lot of my friends who say in America that comes to Nigerian every three months cause of weed!!! FYI I don’t even take drugs talking of planting it!

Why do people like you always take things out of context?

We're talking about exporting and you're condemning it while screaming refining. Where did anyone tell you that we don't plan to refine?

Your brain should have let you know that most oil producing nations also import oil from other oil producing nations, including Nigeria. Why is your self worth so low? (I swear, I can't imagine anyone sending someone like you to go broker a marijuana trade deal with any country). No one has it all, not even America.

So, please it is one step at a time. Stop running faster than your shadow. That's the cause of heavy indebtedness of most nations. First we export (which will cost us almost nothing more than getting a trade deal and shipping off the way Germany ships off cars), then we invest the resource in refining.

You are so lost in the "future" in your mind that you practically burn all the bridges to the future.

Use what you have to legally acquire what you are yearning for You're talking about investment in technology. Which investment is better than the one you used plugged back profit to kick start? Which technology are you even talking about?
There are so many natural resources in Nigeria, how many technology do you guys have in Nigeria?

Start with the one that will cost almost nothing. Stop looking for "manna from heaven" (nonexistent technology)

earnvest:


Now we are getting somewhere because you at least admit that, instead of burning weed farms, we can find ways to convert the weed to income in a way that is legal, regardless of whether it is exported or utilized locally.

majekdom2:
it’s better burnt. The revenue will be insignificant to the GDP. This is just like saying you want to start exporting vegetables. Vegetable grow everywhere. Should weed become legal worldwide, there are countries that have the land and money to invest in weed that will take care of the whole world. We won’t have the resource to make it a viable business. a presidential candidate shouldn’t be talking “small”. It shows lack of foresight.i do say again, we don’t need someone who tells us I will export or import or I will solve this problem. It shows clearly the person hasn’t done his homework.

Livefreeordieha:
people commenting rubbish are all buffoons..Many countries that our people die in millions yearly to escape to get IGR from cannabis...Most recent of em all is Canada..

another dumb individual without foresight. You are talking about the nations that import oil. Those nations have functional refineries that refine oil they produce. The import is to ease excess demand and also save for future. America was a key importer of oil because they had thought oil would deplete thus the need to store for future use. However, since alternatives such as solar, electric vehicles are disrupting, they limited inports, started exporting and many of the oil companies are now investing in alternatives. How many functional refineries do you have in Nigeria. You spend money exporting oil and spend money importing the finished product. You want to do same for weed. You want to start exporting weed, again I ask you how much can weed contribute to your GDP. When I say technology, I mean we should have local feature phones. Feature phones will be around in Africa for a long time. We should have local software. How many apps on your phone are Nigerian apps other than your mobile banking apps. The platform for many software is foreign too. Go back to you economics- what will be the demand for weed in 5 years and what will be the demand for emerging technologies in 5 years? Sowore lacks foresight. We don’t need to export or import anything to thrive as a nation. We got population, we got resources. What is lacking is wisdom to lead. And is saddening that your likes and sowore aren’t hungry for it.

His royal highness,the GCFRN.Nigeria will be sweet in his tenure

He knew the statement will be controversial but still went ahead to say it because the merits far outweigh the demerits.

okenwaa:


All you think when weed comes to your mind is about it being abused. I.e Igbo smokers this;igbo smokers d@.

Only if you can pick up the same phone you've been using to post senseless posts and make a good research about marijuana.

BlackBaron:
Lol this guy should be serious. Canabis is not exported in its raw form by any country unless by 'cartels'. It'll have to be processed extensively to produce other cannabis based creams or prescription products and then exported.

We can do with a lot of food/agricultural exports which are staples and whose consumption are in millions of tonnes.

Newboss:


A step at a time, guy. Marijuana farms are even being destroyed. Now someone talks about making good use of it by shipping it out to nations that need it, since we the "sane" ones don't need it, and all of a sudden you think he's dumb and shouldn't even be made president.

People having cutting edge stuffs they need it for, export it to them instead of destroying it, and you are here trying to measure shoulder with them.

Go and grab people to investment in the "nonexistent technology" na.

Bros, your issue dey fundamental, na low self worth be the issue.

englishmart:
Your people die in millions yearly. Is Nigeria 10bn in population?

Investing in technology takes decades to perfect and maintain. It's not like buying a machine and using it. It involves intense training and research developments.

So if you invest in Tech for 5 years, it's not enough to compete globally with tech giants who have spent several decades on reaserch and development.

So it's only wise to begin with trade of products that can easily generate income quickly than go on a long term investment on tech.

Newboss:


Na man you be. Na people like that guy dey day dream on empty stomach.

I think weed smokers will not like his comments. It will jack up the price of ganja and remove the aura of it.

The major reason America focused more on importing oil than drilling was the after effects of oil drilling and the negative effects on the Environment. America has one of the largest oil reserve on earth. But they are guided by Legislations to protect her Environment.

Opium is one of the mainstay pf Afghanistan's econmoy. They export it and earn a whole lot from it. So why can't Nigeria export Marijuana?

Not every climate can have the best condition for growing certain plants.

Apples are grown in Jos but you cant compare the quality of Apples from USA to the one of Jos. Jos's Apple is less quality.

I have been to Rwanda and their irish potatoes taste a whole lot better than ours.

So if the quality of Marijuana in Ekiti is of high grade using it as a means of export is more advantageous economically than burning it.

I really dont know why the black race cant think straight.

lefulefu:
exactly what i was saying.where will be the market to export the weed. We will have more market exporting cassava,palm oil and make thrice more than exporting weed.who wan buy d weed frm us?...FARC rebels?
