Grabbing The Spaces - Bamidele Ademola-Olateju

While the governors in the Southwest, South, and Southeast are busy consolidating their business interests, plotting their return or trying hard to appoint a successor, the governors in the north are either in Abuja cornering Agric funds for their states, encouraging farmers cooperatives to present a unified front. When they are not doing any of these, they are not standing in the way of their people.

While the northern northern business men are acting as offtakers, forming alliances with global corporate leaders like Syngenta and looking for ways for the north to become the undisputed national leader in food security provisions, our Southwest business people are going to Abuja individually, looking to grab that big funding without the land and the global alliances that can convince anyone to part with billions in funding.

Dear President Mohamadu Buhari, We want results not reasons!

I learnt you will be addressing the nation tomorrow (which is very rare) to mark your one year anniversary in office, I would have love to listen to you live but it’s unlikely there will be no light and I need to ration the little fuel inside the generator, so I will rather chose to read your message in prints.

But before you talk to us sir, I wish to let you know some things (which is not personal to me alone) and I hope it gets to you (which is a VERY tall dream).
