Join us today at 2 pm. as we discuss Ekiti State Agricultural Reforms.
“Spending 22yrs at AI agent and resigning to goose farming” In other news, we are seeing people abandoning their years of farming and jumping on AI.
Ignorant and misleading take. Lumping everything today under “modified” and genetic modification without appropriate delineation. Dangerous!
People who have never farmed in their lives are the ones most likely to be attacking GMOs. Most of the seeds, and even animals we consume in Nigeria, are imported and modified. From fingerlings for fish, to seeds, to even fertilizer. There’s no such thing as “natural seeds”
conclusion and recommendation I gave at the end of the gmo article I wrote, shared.
lol very disingenuous explanation Wasted 14mins
You asked for a Video on GMO.
It hasn’t rained much this yr and more than half of the raining season is gone already. This is unusual and I fear for the state of rain-fed farms that feed the nation.
After my youngest daughter fixed my computer, I overheard her talking with one of her friends saying it was just an "ID ten T error. They both starting laughing. Not wanting to appear dumb, I walked away and wrote down the code. ID10T. She was never my favorite kid anyway.

In early 2018 gmo foods were found in stores of 10 states of the nation. These were unapproved and unlabeled foods. But the National Biosafety act had been established in 2015. You get to wonder how effective the safety laws and agency are and how safe Nigerians are.
Just cos people are eating gmo and do not know doesn’t mean they shud eat gmo. People shud have right to info on food options to consume their preferred foods. It’s a key part of food security. How can people be fed what they don’t like?! This shud be a class action!
On GMOs. Firstly, permit me to throw data to the wind. Only time. 90% of people arguing about GMOs, reading this thread - have never handled genetic materials, edited genes. Probably never will. I eat CRISPR-CAS9 for lunch. I write this thread, as a subject authority.
We had seen the game from afar.
There’s this soft atheism that has been finding its way thru agriculture. It’s doesn’t start with pushing the idea that something came from nothing but that something wild emerged from something simple. It’s a trap door to accepting unconventional but harmful practices.
I believe this is hybridization for improved traits and not genetic modification. There’s the need to stress the differentiation. I think what’s closer to this is that chickens have been & are being fed gm feeds.
A black African that got married to a white woman, their children has been genetically modified (GMO). The chickens you eat daily at the restaurant are all GMO. We eat and drink it every day. Ẹ lọ gba ká mun
I received a message from someone wanting to know my thoughts on gmo as the debates and ques grow strong. (If you’re curious too) Below is link to a balance & comprehensive article from 2020 I wrote on it addressing the real issues: thelasgidifarmer.ng/2024/02/22/gmo…
Where’s agriculture here?
Nigeria’s Q1 2025 GDP figures, released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), shows that the economy is seeing strong traction in select infrastructure and services sectors despite broader structural challenges. According to data, Rail Transport and Pipelines emerged as…

I like how the GMO discussion is taking shape. We must ask real questions.

Had a good time at the UI Agribusiness Incubation Centre (BSFL production), Broiler Project, with Prof. Thomas, Dr. Nathaniel & Dr. Fabian. They took me on a trip there & ensured my full grasp of the projects goal to meet animal protein demands and create opportunities.
It’s for control. There’s no free lunch. Btw, how did the covid vaccine turn out?
Concerning GMO: My first thought on these things is always that: why do you actually think you're so important that people will invest billions of dollars to kill you in 2025?
