Agriculture / Re: Aroms Farms Nig. Ltd. Offers Prospective Job Opportunity to Agric Graduates by VolturiLord: 8:51pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
Good Day Everyone, I really did not want to be a part of this entire conundrum, but given the complexity of the situation I have no choice but to speak out. It just wouldn't be fair if a rebuttal wasn't issued by one of his co-trainees. I will try and keep this short. I speak not for the management, but for myself and my fellow ex-trainees, some of which are currently employed by Aroms Farms Nig. Limited and some that aren't. It is quite sad when a single person chooses to undermine the philanthropic endeavour of our benevolent Chairman and the entire work of us all working at Aroms Farms. As some of us may know, Agriculture is a hands on business. You don't get employment in a Farm and expect to be seated in an air conditioned building. Neither does one expect to be a manual labourer, especially after spending 5 years plus in a higher institution. In a new Farm when processes and procedures are being ironed out and implemented, one has no choice but to be on field to supervise, inspect and motivate your workers and that is what we do here at Aroms Farms. Leadership is by example. My boss spends time with us on the field, he works with us come rain or shine and keep in mind that he pays the bills. Why shouldn't I also show that depth of dedication and fortitude. Now, let's get down to the nitty-gritty of the problem at hand. 12 persons, myself included were invited to begin the Trainee process, 4 fell by the way side and 8 of us successfully completed said programme. To show how motivated the company was to empower us in our chosen field, have a human face and ensure the success of everybody involved, the total number of us were employed with a starting salary of 47,000 Naira. Emphasis on Starting. There are lots of points raised by Mr. Omotosho that I find entirely fallacious. 1. We learnt quite a lot, apart from the Macro-propagation of Plantain and Banana, we learnt how to raise and market crops like Watermelon, Cucumber, Pumpkin, Papaya and many too numerous to mention. We learnt the tenets of dry season farming. I am not an Engineer, but I can comfortably set up the irrigation system for any type of crop/field. I wasn't taught this at school, I was exposed to such advanced technology at Aroms Farms. 2. Even as trainees, we were never subjected to labour as he stated. We had farm hands under us. Two Farmhands per trainees to be exact. We only had to do manual labour out of our own volition. In situations like when working on our own pet projects or when trying to show said Farmhands how to properly carry our some cultural farm practices. From my recollections, Blessing had to do Manual labour just thrice during the course of his tenure here, and this was mainly due to shortage of hands to carry out operations. We were right alongside him doing said labour, you don't find us screaming bloody murder. I personally have never been made to weed, I've dugged, but that's because I chose to do so. The Farmhands weren't doing what I wanted. So I can't help but wonder where he did such. It definitely wasn't here at Aroms Farms. 3. As agreed and stated in our employment letters, we were expecting 47,000 Naira at the end of the month, which amounts to N1666 per day. Blessing totally forgot to state the fact that he was absent for a entire week, taking a personal leave. I point this out in the spirit of having out all the facts, and not out of any desire to spite him. 3. Aroms Farms is not a failure. If his suggestions weren't implemented then that's because they weren't up to par. I've worked on numerous policies that were deemed worthy, workable and indeed implemented in the company. I totally and completely resent any suggestions and aspersions that misconstrued the work we do here. In conclusion, Blessing was let go In conjunction with several other Trainees while the rest of us were left untouched. Please kindly ask him why this was. I would like him to give the real reason he was let go and not pin blame on kind fellows whose sole aim was to help us achieve something in life. This attack on Aroms Farms, where we choose to think of ourselves as a family is totally unwarranted, uncalled for, out of misplaced enthusiasm and unfettered access to the Internet. I call on you to disregard this entire epistle of an embittered malcontent and instead advise him to work on himself and build a better work ethic. I believe he he is about to go into farming himself, growing and selling Watermelon on a large scale. Where did he learn how to do such and find the confidence to embark on such a project if not at Aroms Farms? Kindly ask him this. The Trainee Programme at Aroms Farms has been a life and game changing period for me, and if you're interested, I sincerely urge you to avail yourself of this opportunity. Like the age old adage goes; a stitch in time saves nine. Kind Regards 1 Like |

Culture / Re: Obi Of Onitsha Ofala Festival 2015- PHOTOS by VolturiLord: 11:09am On Oct 13, 2015 |
Lemme attempt to straighten out some few details missing in the various arguments so far. 1. Influence doesn't always connote power, especially in this situation. The influence of the Obi of Onitsha isn't cultural or even traditional, but rather granted by his status as a big shot before ascending the throne and also by the status of Onitsha as a centre for commerce. This can be likened to the case of the Alaafin of Oyo and the late Ooni of Ife, one could say the Late Ooni was more wealthy and thus influential than the Alaafin of Oyo, but that didn't make him more powerful. Power is granted by right of history and tradition. Even as a non- Igbo, it is glaring clear to me that the Obi of Onitsha is neither the most powerful traditional ruler in the East, nor is he the custodian of the Igbo culture, even if he might be termed to be the most influential. Hosting or receiving highly regarded personalities as guests in you Kingdom doesn't bestow that position to anyone. Culture and tradition does that instead. Let us not be moved by inconsequential rubble, but rather sift through the silts of history and sands of time to get the real gist. 2. No traditional ruler in the East is historically nor culturally enabled to be classed with the Sultan of Sokoto, Oba of Benin and the Ooni of Ife/Alaafin of Oyo. This is as a result of what some Nairalanders had explained prior. The Sultan of Sokoto is the embodiment of Islam in Nigeria, in matters of culture and religion, his word is law. Such also is the case of the other tradional rulers I mentioned before. They are worshipped as decendants of supernatural beings who made and shaped the earth. These kings are thought to hold absolute power over their subjects and are revered likewise The igbos on the other hand are more pragmatic. They do not recognise a central monarch and apart from the Obi of Onitsha and Agbor, whose thrones were inspired by (and pay homage to) the Throne of Benin, the Igbos have always regarded their traditional leaders with a healthy dose of skepticism and wariness which I must commend, as it reduces cases of abuse of power. As they say, absolute power corrupts absolutely. This is neither an attempt at ethnic or any other forms of bigotry, I'm just following a rational train of thought, so please, present your counter arguments logically also. 2 Likes |

richiepolymer: It's sad how you are unable to grasp the simple gist of what I'm trying to say. I wonder at what point I came across as an ethical bigot in that comment but I'd take your opinion with a pinch of salt. If I refer to you as a student, then it's because you sound like one, and a terrible one at that. I felt the need to defend him because I've come across people like you before, with no sense of direction and misplaced priorities. I would never say that a university shouldn't have inspiring and awe invoking architecture, but the question you should ponder in your pea-sized brain is if that's the main reason students are sent to school. To gaze at inspiring architecture, which have no impact on their educational pursuit while they have suffer from a wacked-up educational system skewed by the likes of yourself. And finally, the fact that you called me "mister cram and pass" shows that you're that exactly, and your mentality is so downtrodden that you simply assume everyone is like you.

Politics / Re: You Goofed On Jonathan’s Agricultural Programme, Adesina Tells Oshimhole by VolturiLord: 9:26pm On Aug 19, 2015 |
otukpo: Boss, the price of rice was high during Obj's period because of the ban he placed on the importation of rice, the ban which in fact was put in place to stimulate internal production and processing of the said rice. If in fact imported rice was cheaper during GEJ's tenure then that's means people were importing willy nilly without regards to boosting local production. And please, I don't know where you're living in Nigeria, but one small onion was never 100 Naira, at a point onions was expensive, but not that bad. All sentiments aside though, I understand GEJ, through Adeshina and several Programmes and Platforms made a huge effort with Agriculture and I acknowledge that. I am certain PMB will continue with that legacy. Cheers. |

I'm just saying as an Agronomist who has actively followed the workings of the GEJ government on Agriculture, I would take Adeshina's words with a pinch of salt. He did well, but not as much as he's trumpeting. All in all, let's hope PMB builds up on what's already on ground and complete the revitalization of the sector 1 Like |

fransixe: That's where you're making a mistake. It's the norm that new things has to be bought every time regardless of the cost and waste but that doesn't it right. It's one of the things PMB will also address, hopefully. Any thing worth doing is worth doing well. It's a perk of the office and when you leave the office, you leave it behind, except you're legally allowed to go with it. Even if it's going to end up being auctioned off for new ones that doesn't stop people from having integrity and strength of character. Taking things is actually called pilfering in the work place and you're saying that our so called leaders should be allowed to get away with it. Which means if you're given an opportunity you would do such also. |

Imagine the cost of replacing it each and every time a new political appointment or the likes is made. It would run into millions of Naira. Imagine that trend nation wide, and then you'll understand where they are coming from. It's better economics if everything were returned and not just the "massive" ones, and it sends a message also.

erico2k2: We should definitely hold him to account on all his campaign promises, in all ramifications. I would however bring to your notice something of great importance to this discussion. Take the N5000 for unemployed graduates you mentioned. PMB was serious about it enough to actively outline ways in which he means to generate income to fulfill said promise. Some of which are; reduction in government spending, waste and a total clamp down on corruption. All of which I'm sure we can all attest that he is earnestly working on. Please bear in mind that he has only held power for less than a 100 days. Let him generate the income, and then, he will fulfil his promises, from the looks of things, I'm very sure of this. PS: I see your point, Nigerians also vote on ethnic and religious basis. Said reasons that made me reluctant to generalise earlier on. I guess I should reprase and say "informed, enlightened and open-minded Nigerians voted him in on the basis of his integrity ". |
Politics / Re: Kaduna Refinery To Save Nigeria $5.33 Million Daily by VolturiLord: 10:53pm On Aug 10, 2015 |
erico2k2: Let's get something straight. Nigerians didn't vote for APC per se. Or rather lemme not be too quick to generalise. I personally didn't support the APC party, because truth being told, it's full of people who simply jumped overboard from a doomed and sinking ship to one under full sail. We supported a beacon on integrity in the midst of blatant greed and sanctioned corruption. We supported somebody that we could say would not fall prey to manipulations and pressure. Someone who could rise above it all and maybe deliver the promises made during the campaigns. The integrity of PMB bolstered APC's presidential aspirations. So I would definitely say this is a thing of the person (Buhari) and not the party. 2 Likes |
