All of us na cowards. These people really mean to take over the country.
Monday now, everybody go wear monkey suit they go work that doesnโt pay them more than 150k naira and pretend like itโs life they are living.
In 2012, when I started farming in Kuje Area Council-Abuja, cashew trees were everywhere. Many local landowners planted them as economic treesโnot necessarily for commercial production, but because they increased the perceived value of their land.
By 2013, the cashew industry had become a thriving rural economy. During harvest season, heavy-duty trucks lined up at Tipper Garage Junction in Kuje, buying cashew kernels for Nuts processing.
Farmers earned and the entire communities benefited from the value chain.
The boom continued through 2014, 2015, and 2016.
Then greed quietly replaced sustainability.
Instead of allowing the fruits to mature naturally, many people began harvesting prematurely to extract kernels early. The result was predictable: immature kernels flooded the market, quality dropped, and buyers began rejecting consignments.
By 2018, something even more alarming happened. Many of the cashew trees simply refused to fruit. In 2019 and 2020, some produced while others remained barren. By 2021, large numbers of trees appeared diseased and failed to fruit.
Today, the trucks are gone. The once-thriving cashew economy has largely disappeared. The trees remain, but many no longer produce.
What is most disturbing is that nobody seems to know why.
Nigeria has numerous institutions with mandates that should cover issues like this:
โข Seed Council of Nigeria
โข Forestry Departments and Agencies
โข Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development
โข Research Institutes and Extension Services
Yet there appears to be little or no publicly available data explaining what happened to the Kuje cashew ecosystem.
A nation that does not invest in research is condemned to repeat its mistakes. We spend billions discussing agriculture, but when an entire economic ecosystem collapses, nobody can explain the cause, measure the impact, or propose a recovery strategy.
Agriculture is not sustained by speeches and conferences. It is sustained by data, research, and institutional memory.
Until we take research seriously, we will continue harvesting from nature without understanding the consequencesโand acting surprised when nature stops giving back.
