By T.H Mayo (Pics from Google) In November 2017 president Buhari announced that illegal importation of food is considered a threat to national security. By this pronouncement, all land borders were closed and local production of rice was encouraging through loans to farmers and the provision of farming inputs and dry season farmers were given the necessary attention. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Nigeria is Africa's leading rice consumer and one of its largest rice producers.   It describes rice as an essential cash crop for Nigeria, with small scale farmers accounting for 80% of production but just 20% of consumption.

  By Tawfiq Muhammad Abba In her tattered garments, the old woman shrieks out of excruciating  pains alone. Without even an iota of mercy, her progenies are malevolent to her in all aspects as there is neither honesty, nor good followership or rather citizenship in a substantial number of them. Some of them have become vicious bandits, terrorists, kidnappers,  some are suffering from the deleterious sickness of kleptocracy; looting from her treasury solely to attain their insatiable desire for materialism and of affluence. These beastly pernicious whims and delights are bred into the dear hearts of her younger children as they too set their minds with the view to following the aberrant footsteps of their elders having no sincere affection and compassion for the senile mother by indulgence in the follies of the elders! Albeit the kind-hearted ones amidst the children come to salvage her, kissing her forehead with intensive love, the vicious ones and their vi...
