Africa – Our Future is Agriculture

Published by

Agriculture is a crucial economic activity, providing employment and livelihoods for many and serving as the basis for many industries. In most African countries, agriculture supports the survival and well-being of up to 70 percent of the population. Thus, for many, their livelihoods are directly affected by environmental changes, both sudden and gradual, which impact on agricultural productivity. Livestock and environmental goods offer some security from such shocks. About 70 percent of the rural poor in Africa own livestock, contributing significantly to household and community resilience to disasters, particularly in arid and semi-arid zones. More than 200 million people rely on their livestock for income (sales of milk, meat, skins) and drought power. Overall, livestock contributes about 30 percent of the gross value of agricultural production in Africa. According to the International Livestock Research Center (ILRI), opportunities exist to commercialize livestock production to target regional deficits in livestock products where they can be produced competitively.

Book Review: LIVING with AUDACITY

Published by

As I interact with people on a daily basis both physically and virtually, I perceive there’s one thing we all share in common as humans. It didn’t matter what we do or what we look like, we all want to get some kind of result out of life. We are all seeking for balance. We want our lives to exude an aura that makes the whole world stand at ease when our names of the thought of us comes to mind. Truth is, we can’t get tired of results. Living with Audacity is my response to this quest for results on a personal level. They represent the lessons I’d learned in my journey so far which I’ve been able to distill down into strategies that can help anyone anytime to effortlessly get more out of life.

My Birthday Message: Be Yourself

Published by

Be yourself!!! There are people who are not satisfied with who they are. They’d rather be someone else or do something that they are not naturally inclined to doing. But another secret to success in life and work is to live the uniqueness that is [in] you. So, rather than focus on someone you admire, learn to be yourself. You can never execute any work effectively, or even treat anyone else right, until you value and treat yourself right. If you treat yourself well, people will treat you right.

Advice for the employed

Published by

Diversify!!! There is a lot of overdependence on white collar jobs. It has become a crowd mentality. Meanwhile there are lots of other jobs available. As a graduate you can do absolutely anything. It is about the value that you can bring to a job that matters more than what you can take out of it. You can start from anywhere and grow (don’t look down on any position).

Everything about the Nigerian education system will kill your talent

Everything that you learnt in school will kill your talent. First they will steal your dreams. Sell you the mentality of the proletariat. Then you are dead. Click here to pay for your copy of Good to Go and save your copy. John is a good kid. He graduated from the Rivers State University of Science and Technology, Port Harcourt. I met him just a few days to his POP. That was three years ago. You want to know what M. John is doing today? NOTHING. Three years ago when I asked him what he plans to do after his POP, his answer after 30 seconds of sudden deep thought: “Ehmmm, look for a job…” For three years he is still looking for a job. And he hasn’t found any yet. Two years ago I asked him if he had any alternative plans since jobs were becoming elusive. He told me he was working on something. 24 months later there is nothing for me to see. So M. John lives with his parents, jobless, broke, …

Did school prepare you for the real world?

Published by

That is the important question that you must begin to answer; if you are interested in personal success. School could be a wonderful experience; a great time of growing up and learning about the world and about yourself. It could also be the period when the trajectory of your life becomes totally ruined especially if and when your parents are not very rich and you attended the public schools. Nigeria spots one of the world’s worst managed public school system (primary to tertiary) characterized by a deplorable dearth of initiatives, restrictive and regressive educational agendas, delayed or complete non-payment of salaries/benefits, government insincerity and double standards, unmotivated teachers/lecturers, inadequate and deteriorating learning and teaching facilities, outdated curriculum, incessant strikes/industrial actions, poorly trained students with little or no life skills upon graduation.

I had a wonderful experience as a student, except that I was not very interested in academics. I was …

How I wish young people will see Ben Murray-Bruce vision for them in this article

Published by

Nigeria has one of the highest populations of young people between 18-36 in the world. Thus, the single biggest focus of Nigerian leaders should not be how to consolidate themselves in power, but how to convert her huge youth population from a consumer market to a producer market. We may not be able to achieve that in one generation, but at least we can achieve being a prosumer nation in one generation. A prosumer nation is a nation that consumes what it produces.

If Government can’t provide job for you, go get one, add some employability skills

Published by

It baffles me how jobless and idle people can be, sitting at the corridor of their houses discussing poverty and government with rapt interest. What exactly do they stand to gain? It adds nothing to the wealth and happiness of the world to disseminate the information that you have always been poor and continually been poor because you voted in a man who is too ignorant to know, too intellectually lazy to think and incompetent, leaving the economy of the nation like a displaced pendulum.

The difference between the rich and the poor

Published by

There is a popular story about a rich man traveling to a far country and gave his servants money according to their ability. He gave one servant 5 talents and another 2 talents and 1 talent. The one he gave 5, multiplied it to 10 and the one he gave 2 multiplied it to 4. An important lesson here is that the rich multiplies his wealth. But, the servant he gave 1 talent hid the money in the ground. Where he hid the money, nobody can make use of that money. He locked the potential of that money. Even the bank cannot do business with the money to make more profit. This is a poor man. He locks his potentials without making use of them. The aim of this article is to highlight the major difference between the rich and the poor and encourage you to do and learn from the rich.
