REMEMBERING MY LATE MUM
Www.wufasagronet.com
……@WufasAgronet HumAngle, we are HERO WORSHIPERS celebrating and espousing Heroic stances.
Ma’amI, Remembering you today 11th November 1984 exactly 38 years ago when you bidded this divide — Goodbye.
A certified caterer for the largest Primary school and a Registered Food vendor to Nigeria Railways Corporation in Jebba (1960-early’70s) a town situated at the bank of River Niger where the best freshwater fishes could be sourced . Also, a daughter of a foremost Food processor, my grandmother was a processor (fermentation) and distributor of local locust bean spices – ( Iru) from whom i cut my Food Technology and Food security teeth, i started helping grandma out in my preteens.
Mum, while here, you created for me your last born two worlds , one was that of extreme care and pampering which earned me the nickname of AKEBAJE 1 — (Spoiltchild 1). However, this had a very thin boundary to your repulsive and zero- tolerance level for mischievousness making you a firm disciplinarian .
Time was when I was playing truancy in primary school with my peers especially for a subject (joining other peers perceptions) I dreaded so much — “Mental Arithmetic” failure in which, attracted serious caning with Pankere or Koboko ‘Horse Whip’. You secretly went after me and took me to my class teacher instructing him to give me double portion of the cane in your presence … My God , the excited teacher detailed boys to carry me while he piled my bare buttocks with strokes of thunderous lashes of the cane. After that day ,knowing fully well I had no where to run to nor any one to protect me, I resolved to cram and ‘memorised’ the multiplication tables and other units of measurements at the back of the exercise book. This made me to develop confidence and ranking amongst the tops in class. Same went for coming home late after school hours caused usually by joining other peers in renting bicycles with our school lunch stipend and other mischievous acts which attracted instant dirty slaps- such that dazed one with stars ( Ifoti oloyii).
Mum, i can always remember your “EYES THERAPY” those eyes instructions I can perfectly read without talking at all especially when the third party is involved. Always quoting from the biblical passage of Proverb 13:14 He that spareth his rod hateth his son ……. and Proverb 19 : 18. To justify your acts – a Bible-thumper. Head of the Women society in church.
A POLYGLOT and culture enthusiast who spoke any language within her vicinity fluently within six months , a Yoruba that spoke Igbo, Hausa, Nupe , fulfude, hilarious broken English(when it was a privilege ) and others . (Jebba in those days was a cosmopolitan Railways town) though with no formal education but you excelled amongst your colleagues in the performance of litrate activities such as teaching in reading yoruba bible to church members and an interpreter of English with “Hilarious” broken English.an EXTROVERT per excellence..
However, those times effaced and character molded , during your last days with me one could feel your contentment about your son.
Mum, your motherly guidance and instructions were vital and instructive in navigating my path in life, thanks mum.
Maa’mi, if it could be that we cross again I will still prefer you over and again.
ADIUE MAAMI.

EXITING POVERTY
China was crowned the POVERTY capital of the world between 1990 – 2013 , passing over the crown to India. China took advantage of the Western world and Japan who flooded China with their industrial technological productivity due to the cheap labour cost (sweat shops.) in China. The Chinese learnt the ROPES and started developing their own MSMES in manufacturing and got involved in infrastructural development of construction (construction which Nigeria is currently into) by 2013 and beyond China is now World power.
INDIA
The poor India of then worked hard to become INCREDIBLE INDIA.
The Incredible India had over time upgraded herself for the future by taking education very seriously in the 1960-70s, At the emergence of IT she latched into it’s development in the 60s.
In agriculture
India started importation of hybrid cereal grains of wheat, rice etc from the West for agricultural production .
In India today they are self sufficient in grains, same goes for pharmacology and manufacturing. Today, Indians are controlling almost all institutions globally from Banks, IT, Digital technology, Space technology, Health, and many other sectors. The Incredible India is only next to China in creativity and investment globally..
Nigeria (the current title holder in the poverty arena) blessed with huge population of enlighten teeming youthful population in ICT, Medics, and many other sectorial strength must look inwards to develop their own rather than Japa. I see Nigeria becoming greater than the aforementioned nations if only we can learn from the above nations.

DRUG AWARENESS AND PREVENTION
There is need to have a steely resolve to challenge the narratives at NDLEA. The authorities at the helms believe that the war against drugs abuse is Winnable with determination to break the stranglehold.
MOTIVATION of personnels who are the tools of work is very important to lifting the morale is vital, as morale is a battle winning factor, providing adequate arsenal for fight that matches drug barons’, the partner and the international partners are part of the global intelligence gatherings.
DRUG CARTELS epitomizes an organization, this organization tries to insulate the leadership by breaking into layers, that prevents getting to the top.
Intelligence is very vital, adequate training of the staff and in partnership with International partners.
CAUSES OF DRUG ABUSE.
Macro economic aspect where prosperity is needed to tackle poverty. Lifting people out of poverty by various programs is inevitable.
Poverty is the major cause, the teeming youthful population including teirary institutions graduates should be encouraged to learn trade and given seed money for formation of.
MSMES.
TYPES OF DRUGS
Cocaine, Methamphetamine and Heroin are pretty expensive but not cannabis grown locally and quite inexpensive. 70%. (about 106 million) of drugs abuse use cannabis they smoke it, eat it, drink it and even snort it.
The country needs more councelling and help centers with more rehab centers. The clergy (Christian, Muslim) should setup rehab including communities, traditional institution, media, everyone including celebrities.
SOLUTIONS
The campaign “War Against Drug Abuse ” (WADA) be carried to family members, communities, at LG. levels and. States, school systems and Drug free clubs in schools.
Advocacy to traditional institutions and religious institutions.
There is dearth of rehabilitation centers, set up call centers to address stigmas. Drug testing before admission to school, before employment or before running for political office, before wedding for documentation just like HIV, genotype instead of one chance scenerio is very important.

THE TEXTILE lndustries are in a strait and need serious surgical operation and assistance from the Federal government and stakeholders to bounce back. About 20 years ago we had about 180 factories but currently less than 20 are operating below 23% of installed capacity, the reason is not unconnected with Federal government’s liberalization policy on import into the country that allows anything to come in and compete with local production from Asia.
Before the liberalization, the industry could boast about 500,000 jobs, the textile produces 100% cotton which is affordable for all. WufasAgronet is using this medium to appeal to the Nigeria Custom Service NCS and Standard Organization of Nigeria SON to rise up and protect the industry from importation of substandard products. Also with the advent of AFCFTA dumping of substandard products must be stopped.
Currently, the industry will only come to reconning if it can surmount the following hurdles, power supply, cost of imputs, such as fuels for powering generators, raw materials, personnels to produce at low competitive cost and price.
CBN intervention on anchor borrower scheme on cotton farming be looked into.
UNIFORMS
The Federal and state governments agencies such as Police. Army, NYSC, Customs amongst others. should paronise the local industry. Also TAUPOULIN and CANVAS supplies be sourced locally.
Enabling environment should be created for the future of Nigeria textiles industries. The potentials are there capacity and basic raw materials available. IF ONLY SUMGGLING IS CURTAILED.
