Africa’s Biggest Farmer Collective To Help 100,000 Farmers in the Niger Delta

Biggest Farmer Collective to Help 100,000 in Niger Delta as Tata and John Deere Sign Alluvial Initiative

Tractor maker John Deere and India’s biggest conglomerate, Tata Group, have agreed a groundbreaking initiative to provide machinery to as many as 100,000 smallholder farmers in the troubled Niger Delta region.

The deal announced today is the culmination of a seven-year project by Nigerian collective farming business, Alluvial Agriculture, to address the systemic problems that leave most African smallholder farmers in poverty and threaten food security across the developing world. Alluvial’s solution focuses on aggregating smallholders to create a nucleus of minimum efficient scale and the necessary education, mechanization, inputs and market access.


Under their agreement, Tata John Deere, the joint venture with distribution rights for Nigeria, will deploy up to 300 tractors over the next two years to farms spanning 120,000 hectares, or 463 square miles, in the Niger Delta and adjoining states. With plowing times ranging from 20 minutes to half a day on each of the thousands of adjacent smallholdings, the tractors will save farmers several days to weeks of toiling by hand. Individual farmers will undertake self-financing lease agreements for the use of both the tractor and a driver as part of an overall package that includes collective agreements to reduce the cost of seeds and fertilizers and increase the sale price of their crops.

Open Letter To The Liars Against President Muhammadu Buhari

Liars Against President Buhari lie that Nigerians are suffering and yet
"The Wedding Party" made over
₦953 million and "A Trip To Jamaica" made more than N178 million within months in cinemas in Ngeria in 2016 and 2017. What #Nollywood movies never made in the six years of the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Disposable incomes of Nigerians have been increasing since 2016 to date.

Primary school enrolments increased by more than 10 million pupils, because of free feeding in primary schools that the administration of the former national ruling party, People's Democratic Party (PDP) failed to do in 16 years of corruption and maladministration.

Sales of smart phones increased from 11 million in 2014 to 20 million in 2018.

The Nigerian Stock Exchange has become one of the top five best performing stock exchanges in the world. And yet the intellectually retarded ignoramuses and "mofos" are lying that President Buhari has failed?
When he has achieved in three years what their satanic paymasters and sponsors failed to achieve in 16 years.
Lying against someone is witchcraft and the Holy Bible said "Suffer not a witch to live".
Except the witch repents.

There is No Credible Opposition To President Buhari in the 2019 Presidential Election

President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR,  is not leaving the Office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 2019, because the opposition cannot produce a credible presidential candidate that can defeat him. Sowore, Publisher of Sahara Reporters is unpopular among the majority of Nigerian youths and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, GCON, has no grassroots support.

While Atiku was busy watching and waiting for the winner of #BBNaija, President Buhari's working visit to the UK resulted in millions of pounds for new investments that were announced as Nigeria joined 54 nations in London for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), with the benefits of intra-Commonwealth trade high on the agenda.
Dorset-based renewable energy firm Low Energy Designs Limited UK is launching ‘Light up Lagos', a 38 million pounds investment to deliver 40,000 low energy LED streetlights in the Nigerian capital over the next 4 years.
The lights will improve safety and help tackle pollution and crime in Africa's largest city, and create over 500 local jobs.

There Are Many Lazy Nigerian Youths in Every State

Many Nigerian Youths Are Lazybones
They are in every state in Nigeria; from the Niger Delta to the Lake Chad. They are not few.

The critics and detractors  of President Muhammadu Buhari said he goofed when he told the entire world that many Nigerian youths are lazy at the Commonwealth Business Forum in Westminster on April 17, 2018, during his official trip to the UK. And that provoked many Nigerians to castigate him for saying the truth.

Many lazy Nigerian youths are gambling away their lives instead of working as President Muhammadu Buhari did as a youth; a platoon commander at 21, twice state governor at 33 and 34 and Federal Commissioner at 36. Then lest we forget, he fought and survived for the unity of the sovereignty of the Federal Republic of Nigeria during the uncivil war, from 1967-1970.

Many of them prefer eating from hand to mouth from handouts to creating jobs and becoming self-employed.
Many of the jobless graduates of our tertiary institutions have no other skills beside their paper qualifications for white collar jobs.
Many of them ignore the awesome benefits of the Bank of Industry (BoI) giving SMEs loans that have created more than 200, 000 jobs so far.

Four years on from Chibok abduction, UNICEF continues to call for children's release and immediate end to attacks on schools

ABUJA, Nigeria and NEW YORK, April 13, 2018 /CNW/ - Since 2013, more than 1,000 children have been abducted by Boko Haram in northeastern Nigeria, including 276 girls taken from their secondary school in the town of Chibok in 2014 – UNICEF said today. Four years on from that tragic incident, more than 100 of the 'Chibok girls' have yet to be returned to their families and the UN children's agency continues to call for their release.

"The four-year anniversary of the Chibok abduction reminds us that children in northeastern Nigeria continue to come under attack at a shocking scale," said UNICEF Representative in Nigeria Mohamed Malick Fall. "They are consistently targeted and exposed to brutal violence in their homes, schools and public places."

Waiting for a Down To Earth Biafran War Film

We have critically acclaimed books and documentaries on the Biafran war. But no film has been able to capture the terrifying woes in motion picture.
Nigerian filmmakers have failed to produce a movie that showed the grim realities of this unforgettable harrowing experience of the Nigerian Civil War from July  6,1967 – January 15, 1970.
I am saying this authoritatively as one of the Biafran children who survived the calamities that claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of other ill-fated Igbo children, including three children of my beloved mother and more than 35,000 Biafran soldiers, including several of my  brave uncles.

The best way to capture the tragic nightmares of the Biafran war is the film adaptation of the eye witness accounts of the war in the memoirs of Chinua Achebe, Cyprian Ekwensi, Elechi Amadi and others and not the film adaptation of the romantic novels of prize writers who never went through the harrowing experience.

2. It shows a great sense of commitment to the ideals of our party with a view to consolidating and positioning the party to continue delivering good governance in the overall interest of Nigerians.

3. With the present state of the party and based on the report submitted by the Technical Committee, It is important to focus on how to move the party forward by avoiding actions detrimental to the interest of the party. Considering that politics is a game of numbers, we must not be a house divided against itself and must try to note, appreciate and accommodate our differences as far as the law permits.
