I can not see how a person who have not develop himself "economically“ (borrowing 27.5m naira to buy a presidential form) is going to develop Africa largest economy.

Nigeria produces an additional 20 million tonnes of food, providing over 3.5million jobs before 2015.

Introduced by President Jonathan and implemented by the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, the Growth Enhancement Scheme's aim was to provide subsidized farm inputs directly to farmers. Within 90 days of its introduction, the massive corruption in fertilizer distribution process which had lasted over 3 decades was eradicated. Right now, over 90 per cent of farmers in Nigeria have access to farm input without stress.

In November 2012, 10 states kicked started paddy rice production and dry season farming. Farmers involved in this programme produced 1.1 million tonnes of paddy rice, created 467,000 jobs and N37 billion was generated. To ensure the steady increase in paddy rice production, the President put a ban on rice importation to increase the patronage of Nigerian rice. The State House kitchen was directed to use Nigerian rice only while feeding of the First Family and their visitors. Nigeria had one rice milling company which was almost moribund before President Jonathan came into office. Right now, there are 18 milling companies all over the country established by Jonathan to accommodate the tremendous increase in rice production that has been recorded in the last three years.

In 2012, over 24 million stem cuttings of cassava were distributed to farmers free of charge, helping create a cassava industrialization policy. This development transformed Nigeria into the largest processor of cassava in the world. President Jonathan established the N10 billion cassava bread fund to nationwide training of 5,000 master bakers, expanded the production of cassava, ed cassava flour processors to produce more cassava flour at lower cost, expanded corporate bakers and intensified social marketing of cassava bread.

Cocoa farming was not left out in the new revolution. In 2012, the Federal Government launched a massive programme to rehabilitate the old cocoa plantations and raise the production of cocoa through the free distribution of over 3.5 million hybrid cocoa pods. It rehabilitated 86,000 hectares and planted 57,000 hectares.

Jonathan launched a self-employment initiative under the Youth Employment in Agriculture Programme designed to encourage youths to go into commercial agriculture. The plan is to develop over 750,000 young entrepreneurs by 2015. Six airports were designated to be perishable cargo airports close to places in the country with abundant food supply, to aid food distribution in Nigeria and easy exportation.

The annual food importation bill reduced from $7 billion to $4.3 billion recently due to the efforts put in by President Jonathan to ensure Nigeria is self-sufficient in food production. Nigeria has increased national food production by 21 million tonnes. This figure sures what was projected by President Jonathan to be produced in 2015.

These developments did not escape the notice of local and foreign investors. They saw Nigeria as an investors' destination and keyed into the Transformation Agenda in the agricultural sector. So far, Nigeria has been able to rake in over ₦ 1.7 Trillion naira worth of investment.

President Jonathan is moving Nigeria forward.

pls y is it that anytin dat FG tells Nigerians is a always a lie if any person/party say odawise. in oda countries u wiil c it citizens reacting to wot the us are doing to us. since when they decided to help us in the fright against the insurgence wot have dey actually done and achieved for us. nigerians tot their intevension will help to comb boko haram in 2 wks at maximum: here we are today after 2 months. "Abeg our govt dey try". Nato (america and oda world power military alainace) have been in afgan for more than 10yrs and they neva achieve anytin and apart for that it took them over 10 yrs also to located osama bin ladan despite their so called advance technology and intelligence.

Since we have had from d FG dat this issue is about our country security it shud not be a public discussion. Pls let us not play police with this; let's stand as one and find d real cause of wot actually happened and find solution to it. since d FG said America are blocking d way to buy weapons legally.

234GT: Fighting for the so called masses to your own detriment makes no sense.

Those you were fighting for have graduated and a good number of then have moved into the future of their dreams.

Pls read about our INEC chairman dis was d same reason dat got him dat position. What is in life dat we shud b afraid of @ d detriment of our generation unborn.

AnanseK:

Jews hate Christians as much as they hate Muslims. Especially nigga Christians like you.

but Israel ve not be launching rocket or using suicide bombs to terrorize d Christians.

honEmirate: And to all the blind-apologists of Israel's inhuman and cruel acts...... The country (Israel) is populated with 73% JEWS, 17% MUSLIMS, 2%[b][/b] CHRISTIANS, and the remaining few for other religions and non-practising fellows..... Can any of you tell me what is retaliatory in killing an EIGHTEEN MONTHS old infant with other minors and women as a revenge for hamas actions[/color]?..... Some displays and responses on this NL always give me the reason to reiterate my stand that the so called common sense is JUST not [color=#990000]common!!!!

they their parents decided to live by d gun and rocket launchers. Y can't u tell hamas to live civilian populated areas and form their own barracks so dat dey can attack der enemy from der instead of using der citizen as shield. The protest shud b directed to Hamas and not Israel.

teniyi:
Animals like you cannot see the evil Isra-hell is committing! Get away please.

what Israel is doing is self-defence and nothing more.

Kalvan:

How is Israel not a terrorist nation?! What do you define as Terrorism? Is the killing of innocent children and adults not terrorism?

then what is Hamas dat are shooting rocket indiscriminately into Israel territory

x2lambo: PDP is so scared of APC .....

neva dey are trying to kill APC

I hv been dating my course mate although we ve graduated we are still very much 2geda . Although we read 2geda and sit down 2geda in exams halls most times back den in school d truth is dat during exams we don't depend on each oda for answer and we both graduated with second class upper (I mean "shape" uppper). We started dating 1st semester 200 level. One thin I believe is dat character/manners is a mata of Individual and not were d person coms from or d group d person belong to. The truth is dat all dos kicking @ dating a course mate because of der experience may hv also encounter problems in der relationship outside dos who are not der course mate. Relationship ve to do with maturity (strong and good mind set 2wards ur partner and wot u can both attain to make d relationship a lovely one), responsibility (do wot u suppose to do and doing it @ d rite time) and also love (which is a decision and nt feelings).
