ACT NOW OR ACCEPT RUGA

As we debate RUGA and Fulanization many wailers act like we would not be in this predicament if Atiku were president forgetting that his feeder lots are tantamount in implementation to RUGA. 

Whether Atiku or Buhari the objective to appropriate land for the Fulani, the “singular custodians” of Nigeria beef, remains the public policy goal of the federal government as even Goodluck according to reports gave his premature to the project and an idoma man, the minister of Agriculture has not resigned over the proposal. 

State governments need to act proactively to thwart seizures of communal lands by creating their own ranches and paying attention to animal husbandry or stand aside and give up land they are not really using for anything to the Fulani who are the only ones serious about preserving the cows we depend on for EXTRA meat and PEPPER soup. 

With all the lip service paid to agriculture by Middlebelt Governors why are there no vast tracts of farmland for cow rearing, don’t the Tiv’s have Bua Tiv and other tribes’ other species of cows. 

Get into the business of breeding cows to break the Fulani monopoly or stand aside and let focused people be given resources to grow and possibly export meat someday. 

The penalty for myopia, laziness and failure to utilize your resources when you have it is grabbing your fallow and barren land and handing it to others since you obviously do not know how to use it just like European colonialists came to harvests our resources we were clueless about with bribes and a few bottles whiskey, what else has changed. Middlebelt Governors particular Ortom of Benue get to work immediately or forever hold your piece. 

The wages of neglect of agric and animal husbandry is to wake up and have foreigners running your land. Either do something right now or watch your land be appropriated and you be taught how it should be used because believe it or not RUGA is coming in another guise shape and form and there will be no excuses if you fail to act beforehand next time. 

Nonsense and Ingredients, if you cannot do something do not block progress on cow rearing and stand aside for progress however tribally retrogressive it appears to you, but whose fault is it really?

Economics - Another Useless Degree in Nigeria

To those studying Economics hoping for a banking career, please understand that With the increasing sophistication of electronic banking, transfer services, ATM’s and POS machines, the need for bankers will fall and there will be a decline in recruitment in that area. To be more concise, ECONOMICS is one of the growing number of useless courses if the curriculum is not quantitative based and focused on modeling outcomes and forecasting trends based on real time statistics and data.  Here are the jobs available to Economics graduates overseas: 1. Economist  2. Financial risk analyst 3. Data Analyst 4. Financial Planner 5. Accountant 6. Economic Researcher 7. Financial Consultant 8. Investment Analyst  9. Actuary 10. teaching 11. Public sector Based on this list, we can immediately eliminate 2,4,8,9, give some deferential award to 1,3,6 that in Nigeria all lead to 11 in policy roles, with the remaining extract from all defaulting to 10 or finally outside economics in the wo...

Re-Indoctrination Before Restructuring

Whenever you talk about poor governance, Nigerians always mention restructuring as the catch all panacea to fix all problems and issues. But very few Nigerians really know what type of restructuring is needed or how to secure this much needed restructuring in practice.  Many believe restructuring is about returning to the regional government system predating 1966, and tagging on a few new regions, while others wish to retain the federalist state structure and others wish for tribal governments for each of Nigeria nearly 360 indigenous tribes.  Others talk about super imposing a true federalist structures over whatever system but to ensure regional control of resources, most of that agitation seems to be driven by the south east and south-south zones sitting on crude oil reserves, followed by a devolution of items on the exclusive list to those new federalist units.  Others see restructuring as repeal of the 1999 constitution in its entirety and fashioning a new constituti...

PRESIDENT BUHARI’S DESTINED TO FAIL PROVINCIAL ECONOMIC POLICIES

Where is Nigeria’s Minister of State, Kachikwu? Apparently, he has been sidelined in favor of Baru searching for crude in the lake chad Basin.  It is not enough that Nigeria has been structured on a ridiculously, uneconomic and wasteful system of drilling in the south and pipelining the crude all the way up to Kaduna for refinement.  Now Buhari has become fixated with finding oil in the north to complete his economic linkage plan after the planned completion of the dry inland port and a railway linking from there all the way to Chad and Cameroon for his Kanuri relative smugglers to prosper selling petrol and other banned items without paying Nigeria excise duties unlike the militarized border around Lagos with the republic of Benin. You can almost feel the gasping for air exasperation of Buhari as he is confronted with yet another failure to find crude and I can hear his iron willed response to keep on drilling to find oil at all costs so he and the north can be rid or done wi...
