I remember when every body and their father in law said that The Cure to low productivity in Nigeria was to Close the borders. I hope we have all learnt.

Most Nigerians on Twitter do not understand this; 1. Good research (in agriculture and other academic fields) is capital intensive. 2. Under-funded universities and research institutes cannot produce good research. (Anyone with a university degree should know this).

The Ford Foundation has been funding the IITA Ibadan, since inception (1967) - Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation funding came a lot later. IITA has had a profound impact on agriculture in Nigeria - from improved varieties of Banana/Plantain to "Cassava Bread".

It’s frustrating how some people insist on blaming every problem Nigeria faces on the West ,it’s an unproductive and misguided mindset.

The average Nigerian is susceptible to populist and sensationalist messaging. On this note. The Nigerian politicians lucked out bigly.

Israel is doing what Gowon did during the Nigerian Civil War - using starvation as a weapon of war.

Nobody love conspiracy theory reach person wey no go school finish 😂

This tweet still pisses me off. If someone is coming after your livelihood it’s not the time to be dealing with them with kid gloves. Or trying to be respectful. Sometimes the only answer is Violence enough of the pacifism. Fight the fuck back.

I hope no one in your family uses glasses. Or any modern facilities since the way of your ancestors were better.

Be wary of religious people who think it is their job to punish 'sinners' on behalf of God. Stay far away from them.

This is how they banned cement importation to protect local industries. Did same to chicken, milk and a lot of essential things humans need to survive. The result: A protein deficient, malnourished population of people incapable of independent thought. Ndi Itibolibo

The confusion about GMOs here is insane. No, GMOs don't kill crops; herbicides do. No, GMOs don't replace indigenous crops; farmers do, because when they see the insane yields GMOs provide, they tend to abandon previous breeds. No, GMOs aren't why farmers can't replant. That's…

They are waiting for Bill Gates to fund Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria

This is the kind of mindset that has people guzzling harmful agbo instead of going to the hospital. (Anyways the lemons in the Agbo were created in the “lab”)

There is no animal currently that is classed as GMO by the current definitions. Selective Breeding is not GM. To be GM, there has to be artificial Gene Editing in the lab. and only plants currently fall into that category. You don’t know what you’re talking about

And the funny thing is that by today’s definition this is not GMO. (It previously was. But not anymore)

Davina Hyundai tells his followers not to believe anybody. Doctors, organisations, experts, researchers, etc. He tells them to interrogate every idea they come across, with the exception of his own ideas which are to be untouched. How is that not the makings of a cult?

None of these claims are true sha. There are more replantable GMO seeds than there are sterile seeds. The rest cannot be proved.
