Lol Short_Biscuit do you honestly believe those guys are manufacturing? Baba...make we no deceive ourselves jare We don't manufacture shiiii in Nigeria Exactly. Innoson is nothing more than a rebadger of Chinese-made car kits. Even with all that, the company still can't compete directly on price with cars that are outright imported - which is why all the eastern champions are always repeating rubbish like "be patriotic and buy Innoson". If the company's products were worth the money, there'd be no need constantly guilt-trip people into patronizing Innoson.

If it's good, people will buy it. The card they keep pulling out is that people aren't patronizing him because he's Gigbo.

Investors target $350m revenue from cashew this year
Investors in cashew business are optimistic about reaping at least $350m from the industry this year. The National Publicity Secretary of the National Cashew Association of Nigeria, Mr. Sotonye Anga, who gave the indication in an interview, said already about 200,000 high yielding cashew seedlings had been planted in Kwara, Oyo and Cross River states. According to Anga, investors recently acquired 500 hectares of farmland in Calabar, Cross River State and had commenced the planting of hybrid cashew seedlings. He said, “We need to grow the next generation of cashew that will make Nigeria great. The good thing with cashew is that once it gets to maturity in four years, for the next 45 years, it will continue to produce fruits. “The cashew trees that are currently in existence were planted between 1950 and 1970 and the average lifespan of a cashew tree is 50 years. The ones in existence are more than 50 years and if something is not done about this, we may wake up one day to know that cashew trees are no longer yielding fruits. Advertisement “The global demand for cashew is huge; three million metric tonnes and the global production is 1.9 million metric tonnes. Our total export of cashew is still very low, 160,000 metric tonnes but we are hoping to increase that to 224,000 metric tonnes in four years.” According to the NCAN spokesman, the cashew planting project is private sector-driven, adding that the investors have plans to expand into Abia State and increase the land acquisition to 12,000 hectares. At the flag off of the cashew planting season in Ile-Ife, Osun State, on June 7, the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief Audu Ogbeh, had indicated that the aim of the agricultural programme was to provide employment for Nigeria’s teeming youths. The minister, who also distributed hybrid cashew seedlings to farmers during the occasion, said, “The time has come to move the youths from the street. We are beginning the cashew plantation now and shall move on to cocoa and banana production. Our young people are going to be the main beneficiaries.” www.today.ng/business/149551/investors-target-350m-revenue-cashew-year

Yes o. Cashew is fast catching up with Cocoa as a solid & steady high earning export crop. During my training at Oyo state, I was reliably informed that former Governor Alao Akala has a 1,000-hectare Cashew plantation at Ogbomosho, I was like damn! I also came across a dealer who told me he purchased his black 'tear rubber'/chasis Land Rover SUV, brought in via Benin Rep., from dealing in the nuts. Cocoa is on another level.

Speaking of training, why is the Oyo state govt not working with these IITA guys. One would expect Oyo state to be doing far better than all states in Nigeria in Agric considering the fact that everything is just by the doorstep How about the state sponsoring students who want to go into agric in IITA. How about organizing seminars in secondary schools to let students know there is wealth in Agric Frankly speaking, even tho I love the fact that the future looks bright for Oyo state as the reliance on oil keeps dropping, It's quite unfortunate the state hasn't done much in the last decade..

Apart from IITA, there are other federal government agencies that provide training even at cheapest price. I've attended one at FRIN where I went to learn about grasscutter farming. Infact, even though we put in for grasscutter farming, we were also trained on snail farming, fish farming and others. It's only that our people are not taking the opportunity as much as expected. Any serious government will just introduce secondary school students particularly those in terminal classes like basic 9 and SS3 to those kinds of training. Just make it a part of their curriculum that before going for long vac, they need to do about 2 weeks in those centres. You can only imagine what the output will be in the next 3 years. But they won't do that, na to organize 'olosho' night every Friday dem sabi. Shioooooooooooooooooor!

Looks like our Agric Minister really knows what he is doing. Adesina may be good at theorizing but this man is a real farmer - practical oriented.

How about the state organizing a programme that lets farmers all over the state gather their produce and the state helps them package for export
You get paid depending on how much you contributed
