See paining, sorry sha

Delta state Governor Dr ( Senator ) Ifeanyi Okowa is just wasting the precious time of Deltan doing NOTHING.

Are Deltan not seeing what is happening in Kano state industries springing up left, right and centre.

Why can't Buhari come to commission industries in Delta state?

The reason being that there is NOTHING happening in Delta state despite the massive seaport and its various natural coastal blessings

Ex- Governor James Onanefe Ibori imposed a very terrible political cabals whose job is to loot the state treasury and lacking in visionary leadership.

That is why we can not achieve what northerners are achieving in their northern states notably KEBBI STATE, KADUNA STATE AND KANO STATE

[s]My brother, the south west is slowly reconfiguring its industry as been witnessed in Ogun, Lagos and osun, there is a silent agricultural revolution ongoing in the north, and yet some of my brothers in the SE and SS, in the year 2017, think one Fulani man is their problem, while erosion is gradually eating away precious land and commercial hubs like aba and nnewi have practically gone under!

if you have to insult a sitting president and call him an illiterate make sure you didn't fail English language at GCE level. that will make you a bigger failure

NafeesaAA:
All those Articulated Jews and Kwankwasiyas should take not, 1.9 million votes is still intact. Just look, 8,000 Police officers, 3,000 Military & Paramilitary personals and yet they couldn't contain the massive crowd that came to see President Buhari. As his motorcade pass thru, the noise is deafening but yet you can see the commitment and sincerity of hope from his supporters.

On either side, people scream, wave and take pictures. As he slowed down to savour the moment, the crowd went wild for the 90 seconds and then a rapturous applause. Then, as soon as the limo was gone, you can practically read the contentment on their faces, they clearly got what they came for: a glimpse of President Buhari.

Buhari isn't just a political leader to people of Kano, he is a paternal figure, The Mai Gaskiya. These intimate designations speak to the close bond many Kanawas have traditionally forged with President Buhari. Perhaps the only national political leader to approach Buhari moment of naked popularity was a politician who knew something about Integrity. His name was Mallam Aminu Kano,.

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode on Friday in Zurich, Switzerland led a team of the State Executive Committee members to sign an agreement with Bühler AG (“Bühler”), a leading rice-mill producer in the world, for the acquisition of a 32 tonnes per hour Rice Mill. The Governor, who spoke shortly after the signing ceremony, said the development was in furtherance of his vision of enhancing food security and creating employment in the State.

Oil Mill not Oil as in petroleum


An oil mill is a grinding mill designed to crush or bruise oil-bearing seeds, such as linseed or peanuts, or other oil-rich vegetable material, such as olives or the fruit of the oil palm, which can then be pressed to extract vegetable oils, which may used as foods or for cooking, as oleochemical feedstocks

Meet The 35 Year-Old Entrepreneur Who Owns Nigeria's 2nd Largest Rice Farm

Rotimi Williams


Nigerians consume more than 5 million metric tons of rice every year, with a significant portion of its consumption needs sourced from imports. Rotimi Williams, an ambitious 35 year-old Nigerian entrepreneur and rice farmer, is on a quest to change that.

Williams, a former journalist, is the owner of Kereksuk Rice Farm, the second largest commercial rice farm in Nigeria by land size. His farm, which is situated in Nasarawa state in northern Nigeria, currently sits on 45,000 hectares and employs more than 600 natives of Nasarawa.

I recently caught up with the budding entrepreneur in Lagos, and had a brief chat with him where he recounted his journey and mused on how Nigeria can attain self-sufficiency in rice production in the near future.

What’s your educational and professional background?

I attended King’s College in Lagos. After attending secondary school at King’s College I proceeded to obtain my first degree at University of Aberdeen where I graduated with a degree in Economics. I also obtained a Master’s Degree in Economics from the same institution. My quest for more knowledge led me to enroll for yet another Master’s Degree at the School of Oriental and African Studies, London where I gained an MSc. in Finance and Development Studies.



Upon graduation, I landed a role as an analyst at the European Economics and Financial Centre in London. Afterwards, Euromoney Magazine employed me, where I covered the African space.

I would say that this is where my journey truly started.



Given your background as a journalist, what informed your decision to venture into rice farming?

While at Euromoney, I had the opportunity to travel around a few African countries. These trips exposed me to countries like Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, South Africa, Zambia and Ghana. A common thread amongst the aforementioned nations is agriculture. Agriculture is at the very core of these countries and this got me thinking. After a few more trips, I decided to move back to Nigeria and sink my teeth into the agricultural space. Nigeria remains the largest economy in Africa from both a GDP perspective and also the strength of the size of our population.

Upon my arrival back in Nigeria, I got a job at a premier bank where I was promised to sit on the agriculture desk – my hope was that I would gain enough knowledge of the Nigerian agricultural industry and develop myself from there.

As my frustration grew, I decided to quit banking and planned to go it alone into agriculture. Frankly, my decision led to a challenging sojourn as attempts to raise funding with my partner proved difficult. We started a Structured Trade and Commodity Finance company. After a while I started consulting for small agriculture companies seeking to raise capital both locally and internationally.

You currently own the second largest rice farm in Nigeria with 45,000 hectares in Nasarawa, Nigeria. What’s the story behind your acquisition of such vast land, and what are some of the challenges you’ve encountered in farming in the volatile northern region?

Two years had past and we still had no funds, so I made an offer to the farm owner, that with a 50-50 split, I would develop the farm with both personal funds and external funding. He agreed and that's how I became part owner of 17,296 hectares of farmland. Knowing that agriculture would become the integral area of focus in Nigeria, I was bullish and ramped up the land to 55,000 hectares. I later parted with my partner as a result of unaligned views and strategy. I maintained 45,000 hectares for myself and today we have started producing, with our quality paddy being sold to major milling companies in Nigeria. However, I must add the following, I often have people ask how I learned abut farming, as everyone thinks you need a special degree in agriculture to be a farmer, but I always tell them the truth, I learnt it all on Google GOOGL +0.7%. I downloaded every article I could find on rice production, consumed it and then practiced it in the fields.

Frankly, my experience working alongside indigenes [natives] of Nasarawa state has been exceptional. I have learnt over the years that if you approach people with respect even more so while one seeks to set up a business venture. Having a healthy sense of community makes all the difference in attaining one’s set objectives. I lean heavily on the wisdom and cultural approach of the indigenes to carry out farming on such a scale here in Nasarawa.

Ode this thread is about rice mill and Oil mill not farm Rotimi Williams owns Keresuk Rice Farm not rice mill while I hope you heard what happened to his farm

Rotimi Williams owns the Keresuk Rice Farm in Tunga, Nasarawa State, which was destroyed by flood last year. In this interview with Daily Trust, he said the Nigeria Agricultural Insurance Corporation (NAIC) should be repositioned for better
Why do you think farmers, especially rice farmers, need to take insurance policy?
Let me start by highlighting that for rice production, rice is water, rice needs 100 per cent water supply and farmers are located close to water source, mine is located close to the River Benue. This makes the farms prone to flooding.
So in our case, we insured that area. However, the flood happened on September 16, 2015. There were two flood incidents, the first destroyed 40% of the farm while the second one affected the farm hundred per cent. This flood lasted for about seven to 10 days and we lost pretty much of all the crops. It was a 100 per cent loss.
