If I don't agree with you - based on years of experience, I am not automatically "an accomplice of Bill Gates - who is spending billions to destroy Africa".
Afrobeats taking over the world is fiction. We love to lie to ourselves. It gives us confidence but keeps our stomachs empty Recorded music revenues in sub-Saharan Africa grew by 22.6% in 2024 to $110 million, according to the IFPI’s report. njoku.org/irokotv-conten…
They are not aware that they are quoting directly from the "Slave Bible" - which was written for a purpose; to "justify" the enslavement of Black people. They probably learned their theology from the likes of Southern Baptists - who enthusiastically propagated that theology.
African Pastors teach their Congregation that Africans are descended from Ham and are therefore cursed
Nigerians will always blame DSTV for the high cost of cable TV subscription - but will never blame Dangote for the high cost of cement. It is easy to understand Nigerians. They always "punch down" - i.e. blame those who they think are "weak".
I no dey with GMO conversation because for here wey weather tough, they need enhanced seedlings because of weather. I went to NIFOR once and the people there were telling us about improvements in Palm seedlings to increase output/yields. I believe that’s what Malaysia did.
This is what I was pointing out to someone earlier. They’re making the GMO debate a single point issue. It is not. For instance there are non sterile seed. There are non roundup ready options. There are actually many other seed options and companies other than Monsanto that…
That is a valid question. Smallholder farmers should not be sold sterile seeds - but there's a lot of improved planting material out there that is not sterile. This is where Government regulations come in, but Government barely exists in Nigeria.
Agree 100% - but IITA and NRCRI are both in Nigeria and they are key to the Cassava Value Chain. This might be different for other crops - but the way forward is to insist on better funding for local agricultural research institutions. That should be the focus.
Onye Nkuzi the real danger is about the dependence of foreign entities for seedlings in the future.
Evangelical and jihadi collabo. The one thing both movements agree on is anti-intellectual and hypocritical puritanism.
Dress Codes on Campus going forward.

The big question about GMO is: who owns the seeds? I once planted tomato seeds which did very well but never gave me seeds for the next season.
Israel is doing what Gowon did during the Nigerian Civil War - using starvation as a weapon of war.
Canada condemns the Israeli government’s failure to prevent the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian disaster in Gaza. Israel’s control of aid distribution must be replaced by comprehensive provision of humanitarian assistance led by international organizations. Many of these are…
More than 100 aid agencies have warned that mass starvation is spreading across Gaza. Aid deliveries remain limited, leaving many families struggling to access basic necessities. p.dw.com/p/4xznu
BREAKING: A Nigerian man, Abiola Quadri, has been sentenced to over 11 years in federal prison in the United States for orchestrating a $1.3 million fraud scheme involving stolen identities to claim COVID-19 pandemic unemployment and disability benefits.
Eish. Those ones tried to outsmart everyone; they didn’t pay bribes at all. Or they bribed the wrong officers.

If a defender of Palestinian lives/rights or intl law said Israel was racing to "wipe out Gaza" & "make it Jewish" they'd be accused of antisemitic blood libel. But when an actual minister in the Israeli govt says it? Meh.
BREAKING: 🇦🇺 Australia's Prime Minister Albanese says that the war in Gaza has 'gone beyond the world's worst fears' and that Israel's 'denial of aid and the killing of civilians, including children, seeking access to water and food cannot be defended or ignored'.
In 2024, only 5.3% of Nigerian budget was allocated to education and even less to agricultural research universities/institutions. These institutions have the potential to lead food security, climate adaptation, and export diversification.
Millet is an extremely important crop - and hasn't received the same research attention as other food crops. Are we waiting for Bill Gates to fund research in it, so we can start running our mouths - content with mediocre agriculture ministers who just "distribute fertilizer"?
Zik was more than this. Two things can be true. He was a Pan Africanist but Zik was very conscious of his identity. Zik gave us political and educational consciousness. There are a lot of things to say about Zik but he was self aware and identity conscious.
