Let me tell you how it happened. Nigeria’s ginger export hit zero from N26 billion within 3 years.
The official story blames fungal blight.
But here is what actually happened. When Nigerian farmers lost their indigenous seed supply, grant-aided interventions arrived with replacement seeds.
An associate professor at Lagos Business School flagged publicly that some of those interventions involved GMO organisms that weakened indigenous crops and compromised soil health.
That is not a conspiracy theory because it is a documented academic concern.
Now that Nigeria spoke got destroyed by the GMO seedlings….what is not the result?
Nigeria was forced to import ginger from China to fill domestic demand. Chinese ginger has none of the pungency, oleoresin content, or quality that made Nigerian ginger a global premium product. And the ginger now sitting in Nigerian markets tastes like wood because it essentially is wood.
The two indigenous varieties that built Nigeria’s global ginger reputation, the Tafin Giwa and Yatsun Biri, had decades of soil relationship and quality built into them.
Once the soil was degraded and those seed varieties were displaced, the product that returned was a pale imitation. Nigeria did not just lose a market. It lost a seed. And without a National Ginger Seed Bank, which nobody has built, it may never fully get it back.
Justice Isaac Lenaola is the youngest Judge in the Supreme Court yet its most qualified & at the top of the totem pole to be our next Chief Justice when CJ Martha Koome retires! Should he be the CJ at his age, Lenaola will have time to change this country like no other person elected or not! Nelson Havi has been my friend since he begun practice! Eldoret is our home town. But I am afraid those who fear Lenaola being our next CJ have tried all attempts to block his rise! I pray, deeply pray that President Havi is doing his client’s work without a large nefarious scheme!
I really don’t like listening to Matiang’i. He oversaw the execution of citizens and persecution of those opposed to his government and now comes to the news acting sanctimonious.
Former CS Fred Matiang’i calls for public inquest into extra-judicial killings; says he’s ready to answer questions for River Yala bodies and the murders of Chris Msando, Jacob Juma and Kipyegon Kenei.
How can we live in a society that has no value for human life? That the police can pick up a young man from his home and torture him to death and move on with life like nothing untoward happened. We really need to deal with our police service. It is a rogue institution.
@Raiin_ke You called the person way past 7pm. That is unacceptable as we had already left town. You refused to pick calls and have not picked my calls since. I guess I will have to handle this differently.
@Raiin_ke These guys have the worst service ever. Never delivered my package and have completely refused to respond to me. Does anyone know their location?
@Raiin_ke I have been trying to reach you in vain. You are not picking my calls and neither are you returning them. My messages remain unanswered. My delivery was never done. What kind of service is this?
