I’ve met many “Carrot Danglers” (or CDs) – as friends, coworkers and especially as clients. They basically want to get something for nothing (or as little as possible) from YOU while pretending like they have something to give.

My advice: Avoid them. But do so tactfully.

The ideas I share in this article are based on personal experiences and observations as a DISCERNING adult in my interpersonal interactions over the YEARS.

[Note: I picked up the term “Carrot Danglers” (and its apt definition) from the article linked below, titled “Lessons in Discernment: Carrot Danglers” by Marina Michaels]

“A carrot dangler is someone who promises something—to help you out, to give you something, to introduce you to someone, or whatever—and never comes through. When you try to collect on the promise, there is always some reason why they can’t give it to you right then, though they tell you they will do it another time. But when “another time” comes along, that isn’t a good time either, and so it goes, until you give up on that carrot, and then they start to dangle another carrot. The underlying dynamic is that they are generally getting something they want from you, and they are making the appearance of offering something in exchange, but they never actually give anything in return.” – by Marina Michaels, http://www.thelighthouseonline.com/articles/carrots.html

When I suspect someone relating with me is a CD, I do NOT let on that I suspect what s/he is up to.

Instead I go out of my way to act the fool so that s/he feels safe to act out his/her true intentions each time we have to interact.

But that’s as far as I go – acting the fool. Sometimes, getting it right may require that I let him/her have his/her way – but only once, or at the worst, twice. Just so I can be sure that what I suspect is really what it happening.

Once that happens, in future interactions, I make sure to NOT give him/her what I see s/he wants, except s/he delivers what s/he puts forwards first.

For instance, let’s say s/he says s/he wants to buy my Excel-VB Poultry Farm Manager for a farm business s/he claims s/he plans to start “soon”, BUT URGENTLY wants me to set up a branded Facebook business marketing page for his/her Agro consulting outfit next week.

Usually, alarm bells go off in my head when I get requests couched in offers like this. If I sense it’s driven by a “Carrot Dangling” motive, I simply ignore the other thing s/he asks for (the Facebook page) and focus on talking about the suspected carrot itself i.e. the Excel-VB Poultry Farm Manager.

But I do it with tact – so s/he does not have reason to feel offended.

To illustrate, I could say:

“You know, now that you mention it, I could give you that Excel-VB Poultry Farm Manager at 50% discount if you make a down payment of 5% of the discounted fee at the same time as that for THIS Facebook business marketing page you want done URGENTLY”

If s/he balks at THAT too-good-to-be-true counter offer, THAT would often be a sign that s/he most likely NEVER intended to make that other purchase. Otherwise, a 5% down payment on a 50% discounted fee is a NO BRAINER for anyone. Especially when both parties are already connected via prior transactions. You can vary this to suit your unique circumstances and needs.

When you put the suspected CD on the spot in the above described manner, and s/he does not respond appropriately, chances are often good s/he was only dangling THAT carrot to get you to do the other thing (which is really what s/he needs) in the hope that your desire to have the carrot will make you give that thing s/he needs!

Nothing spells disrespect and manipulation more than THAT!

As a rule, I tactfully avoid people who do this in my personal and work life. They are the kind who can drain you dry.

I’ve been told that some CDs may not know they are doing it.

BUT I do NOT buy that argument or excuse!

Any conscious and emotionally intelligent adult MUST be sensitive to treating others right. That’s why we have BRAINS and EMOTIONS. We can think and we can feel. Our minds are unapologetic in telling us when we do wrong and when we do right. We only decide whether or not to listen – which is why some people act good and others do bad…like those who operate as CPs!

As far as I’m concerned, using and manipulating others for selfish gain is never justifiable! Anyone you love or respect should never have it done to them by YOU.

Anyone who makes the mistake of doing it to me, in a manner that leads me to conclude s/he is a CP, will get the “treatment” described above. Period!

So s/he begins life doing a job s/he does not like for its pay and possibly work conditions, but which s/he feels obligated to hold on to, until something better shows up.

Very rarely, does s/he ever seriously contemplate exploring the option of starting his/her own business – even though it frequently promises much better rewards!

The reason that happens is that our kids go through life being told they only need to get good grades and then get a good job, to make it in life.

Very few parents ever tell them another formula exists i.e. the route of self-employment or entrepreneurship. And THAT journey can be started more or less at the same time as formal schooling.

Some people argue that that a child should not engage in income earning activities while schooling – and even call it child abuse. I argue that THAT is not correct, because it is the “HOW” of it that matters.

I’ve schooled with orphans and indigent students (and I’ve also had clients who told me that as kids they) had to work to pay their way through school – for various reasons.

What I found out was that those experiences forced them to mature faster and develop competencies to arrive adulthood readier to succeed in spite of adversity in the real world, than many of their peers, who did not have to fend for themselves to complete their education.

Conventional schools are not telling learners the truth about what they need to know and have to achieve what Nigerian society defines as success.

That’s the key: First we need to define what society’s expectations of them will be!

[NB: This does not mean they have to accept those expectations. Instead, it’s about PREPARING the kids to deal with those demands and expctations psychologically or otherwise.]

Will their certificates and degrees be enough? Or will they be measured based on how much money they have regardless of their educational attainments?

Truth be told, the latter is the reality that confronts us today.

Most people in society pay MORE attention to how much material possessions and money you have, than they do to your academic qualifications or credentials.

It’s also why no one seems to care how others make money anymore. Once you have it, people fall in line and “respect you”. The well schooled person unable to function in a crooked society that does not recognize merit, then ends up being ridiculed about “blowing grammar and knowing too much book”

That’s why blatant bribery and corruption in schools and religious institutions is so rampant.

Smart best practice parents will focus on identifying what works, to ensure their honest, upright, do-things-the-right-ways kids don’t end up getting frustrated in the society after they leave school

My views on this subject have been shaped by my experiences as a product of the conventional schooling system.

I excelled in paid employment – but encountered serious absence of fair and impartial systems to reward my efforts in entrepreneurship – until I developed a system that greatly reduced my need to interact directly with people in my society to make money I needed.

The pain and suffering I passed through taught me that Vocational Skills Based Schooling is the safest and most reliable way to educate a child for self-actualization – especially in Nigeria.

Any school system that cannot provide a real world relevant vocational (NOT hobbies) base for education of learners will NOT have access to my kids.

I see today’s conventional schooling not counting in society and honesty/integrity being ridiculed.

In Nigeria, this problem is compounded by the fact that those who have no work routinely have more money than those who do.

This is a fact that stares us in the face DAILY.

Yet we continue using an education system that fails to eliminate that embarrassing imbalance!

The question I continue to ask is: Must everyone pass through the same educational system? Does everyone NEED to pass through the same TRAINING?

The answer of course is NO. We all differ from one another – and our unique abilities will often determine what method of learning best suits EACH of us.

Like I’ve said in the past, human beings are not like livestock (poultry, pigs etc). We cannot be reared in uniform BATCHES based on the same menu of INPUT.

To do so would be to damage the individuality of each person. Room has to be made for the unique needs of each person!

Our conventional schooling system tries to force ALL learners into the same mould – and THAT is wrong!

That’s why Sir Ken Robinson said it damage creativity.

Little wonder that many gifted kids emerge from it looking and acting clueless most times. It is also why we keep coming across trained medical doctors who switch careers late in life to finds success and fulfillment in professional soccer or fashion design!

In Nigeria, it is why our kids who graduate from our schools are getting described as “unemployable”. And it’s also why the idea of self-employment is so difficult for most of our graduates to comprehend!

The status update shown in the screenshot below, posted by Charles Ayo Dada features powerfully thought provoking rhetorical questions that underscore the point I’m making here…

Like he wrote: “…It seems our spirits are in recession. We suffer from lack in the midst of plenty.”Click here to read the status update.

Once a child can read and write competently, s/he can learn any subject s/he has interest in.

I’m training my kids to develop a firm vocational skills “reflex” as a basis for their academic studies. In other words, they are being taught to identify vocations they LOVE and channel their academic energies towards theoretical and practical mastery of it i.e. killing two birds with one stone.

This will make them creative thinking self-directed learners.

Our schools are forcing kids to study subjects they often do not need to manifest their genius and find their purpose in life.

We fail to realize the real ultimate and most important goal of schooling. As a parent who was brilliant in passing thru the school system, the experiences I’ve had in life have taught me that our conventional schools focus on teaching too little of what matters the most in the real world – especially the hands-on practical stuff that have to do with living a successful life!

In today’s Nigeria, most people are just mindlessly doing what others have done, with regard to educating their kids, without checking to see if a better way exists.

Considering the fact that those who received similar schooling in the past, are today walking the streets struggling in spite of the obeying the “Every child must go to school” law, I wonder why this is so!

Ask yourself: What kind of schooling system has society made available? Does it give my child what s/he needs to succeed in the real world of the Nigerian society?

The answer my objective evaluation gave me was NO.

So I decided to develop a complementary program of my own that would give my kids a better foundation to protect their minds against future exposure.

Today we use a technology and exercise based model, with a vocational bias to progress. They carry out specific tasks including but not limited to book work.

I argue that taking exams is not the only way to evaluate learning achieved. Indeed passing exams is no guarantee of success anywhere in the world, especially outside paid employment.

Now, while we’re on the subject of exams…

It’s funny that I did not know about it earlier, but there are apparently societies that do not require kids to take exams at certain levels – yet the kids that pass through their schooling systems still excel internationally.

Sadly, many Nigerian parents don’t even know this truth.

And those who do already engage in crooked dealings they see others do to get ahead outside paid employment. As a result, they don’t care what schools do because they know they’ll be helping their kids cut corners like they did!

I’m therefore not concerned about such parents.

It’s those law abiding, hardworking and honest parents who fail to see this problem with the Nigerian school system and society, as it can (and often will) negatively affect their kids that I feel sorry for!

In this week’s issue of the Farm CEO newspaper, I feature 2 of my most widely syndicated articles, published over 5 years ago.

They contain deep pearls of insights gained from YEARS of working closely with serious minded Farm CEOs to find solutions to REAL LIFE problems that were holding them back.

These articles have earned me phone calls (some resulting in sales) from Farm CEOs locally and internationally as I traveled.

An interesting tip you (especially subscribers who are my Web Marketing clients) may wish to take note of, is how I used my mobile phone number at the end of one of the write-ups to generate sales leads.

What I did was to invite the reader to request additional details about how to make successful use of the practical strategies for finding profitable bulk buyers, that I’d discussed in it.

I got quite a number of calls – some of which led to sales of my Feed Formulation Handbook and Excel-VB Ration Formulator software – as a result of that simple Call to Action (You can do the same in your writing!)

I hope you enoy reading these articles.

Have a great week.

Practical Poultry Farm Business Performance Calculations
==========================
Introduction

In this article, I share VERY practical, real world relevant tips about performance measures you can compute daily, weekly, monthly and at the end of year to accurately determine at every stage whether your poultry farm business is operating optimally.

These performance indices are NOT aggregate measures. In other words, they are NOT measured in monetary terms. Instead they have NO units, being ratios, usage rates and percentages that help to (a) establish a normal trend of your farms’ behaviour (b) quickly identify/detect departures from that trend, so that you can take timely/corrective action.

Note that these measures are tried and tested, and are actually built into a custom spreadsheet software application I built for a client who runs a Twelve thousand (12,000) layer poultry farm business.

Producing Good Catfish is Important, But Finding Good Buyers is Imperative!
==========================

As I have said on my Cost-Saving Ideas Farm Business Support mini site, and also in many of my previous write ups, I have gained unique insight into the business of catfish farming as it is done here in Nigeria. I have moved around quite a lot within Lagos especially, visiting various farms in places like Iyana Ipaja, Egbeda, Ojo, Gbagada, and outside Lagos, more recently,in Akute – Ogun State.

During my interactions with the farm owners, I typically ask the same questions about operational practices being used, farm output achieved, expenses incurred etc. My objective is always to establish how efficient and profitable the individual operations are.

Time and time again, I have found that most of these farm owners are simply focussed on doing what they do in the same mechanical manner they have always been doing them.

Little or no effort is made to spend some time THINKING about how to operate more efficiently – especially in order to reduce the time, effort, money and labour needed to produce – and sell – the same output within a production cycle.

But times are hard. Business is tough. Costs have risen. To continue to profit, it has become even more imperative today, for EVERY business to explore ways of LOWERING operating costs, even as they maintain or possibly INCREASE output.

That is why IDEAS – NEW IDEAS – about how to better run the business MUST be routinely solicited, and explored practically, with a view to improving the way we work, so that the business can perform better.

The truths stated in THIS report is why I INSIST on empowering my kids with real world relevant income earning VOCATIONAL SKILLS as a MAJOR priority – a strategy I advocate for adoption by other parents.

Tackling the Rise of Fake Qualifications in Nigeria By Linus Unah on June 6, 2017

The disease of forging education certificates has infected every sphere of public life in Nigeria, including politics. In fact, several politicians have been embroiled in scandals involving fake certificates.

“Certificates are a big deal in Nigeria. From parents to corporates and the civil service, people attach as much value to educational certificates as to the skills, experience and attributes one has to offer.

This obsession with certificates has created a culture in which most school-goers are much more concerned with getting good grades than they are with acquiring the actual skills and competencies that would stand them in good stead after graduation.

And this – the overwhelming desire to rack up excellent grades – has stolen the joy that comes from studying to acquire a firm grasp on an academic discipline. It has also led many people to falsify their academic records for personal gain.”

One Strategy Igbos Need to Learn From American Jews About Succeeding

June 8, 2017 Tayo Solagbade Leave a comment

[This article is a public service]

Nigeria’s Igbo people continue to complain of being under-recognised, under-appreciated, marginalized and generally sidelined in the affairs of the nation – despite what they consider their hefty contributions to its socio-economic development.

As a result, they’ve agitated more intensely to actualize their own separate state – Biafra.

But the latest news about a Northern Youths declaration against them (which government has rightly taken swift action to quell) suggests Igbos continue to NOT earn the empathy of others in the Nigerian nation, for their cause.

Why is this so? Why does it seem that the other tribes “hate” Igbos so much?

I argue in this piece that the reason the Igbo seem to attract so much negative reactions from others for their cause, is because they fail to go about achieving their goals, using a strategy that American Jews have successfully employed, for decades, to make themselves a silently dominant force in America – and the world.

What do I mean by the foregoing statement?

I’ll tell you….

Most of the resentment against Igbos, even when they travel out to live and work in other countries (as I’ve found ou from travels to places like Ghana, Cameroon, Benin Republic) derives from the fact that majority (but certainly NOT all) of the them tend to think and act without EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE.

A key dimension of EI for succeeding in interpersonal interactions, is the ability to put yourself in other people’s shoes.

In other words, to be sensitive to the impact your words and actions can have on others around you. To be considerate in all your dealings so that others do not get the feeling you do not respect them.

[TIP: I’ve written several articles that explain various dimensions of what EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE entails – linked at the bottom of the post]

Chinua Achebe admitted as much in the quote below taken from a report in which he had correctly enumerated many Igbo traits that made them achieve rapid advancement relative to other tribes in the new Nigerian state, post independence.

Why Nigerians Hate Igbo By Chinua Achebe

“….Achebe, however, saved some criticisms for his kinsmen. He criticised them for what he described as “hubris, overweening pride and thoughtlessness, which invite envy and hatred or even worse that can obsess the mind with material success and dispose it to all kinds of crude showiness.” He added that “contemporary Igbo behavior(that) cab offend by its noisy exhibitionism and disregard for humility and quietness.”

[Recommended] Why Nigerians Hate Igbo – by Chinua Achebe

Personally, I think the Igbo badly need to take notes – from AMERICAN JEWS – who have flourished for decades inspite of serious persecution, by SUBTLY and QUIETLY developing their full potential to achieve dominance in key areas of society without needlessly stirring up animosity and resentment from other social groups!

Igbos need to understand that acting with Emotional Intelligence in working to actualize your full potential, in a way that puts you ahead of others, is the key to succeeding in a win-win fashion, which makes others unlikely to be resentful of YOUR success!

June 8, 2017 Tayo Solagbade Leave a comment

On Aug 1, 2014, I wrote my article titled: “Bleaching” Your Skin Insults Your Creator, and Makes You Lose Dignity (Message from Fela Anikulapo Kuti and Lupita Nyong’o to Black/African Parents & their Children)” – click here to read it.

Back then I had not really come across any notable African celebrity who has spoken out against skin bleaching and other ills like Lupita Nyong’O had been doing.

So, when last month I came across this news report about an interview in which Marah Louw has done just that, I knew I would need to republish it on this blog.

I am SO tired of seeing phony looking African females trying to dress, look and sound like (what they consider) classy white women.

And I am equally tired of watching many silly and misguided African males showing illogical preference for lighter skinned females in defining beauty and choosing their partners.

To protect my sons and daughters from these warped values, I will continue to write about them and actively discourage their perpetuation. Recommending this report is one of several ways I do that.

Read the full interview with Marah Louw below:

[RECOMMENDED] “You will never find white people wearing our hair” says Marah Louw, Former South African actress and singer,

Marah Louw a South African singer and actress was this week a guest on the DJ Sbu Breakfast show where she shared her thoughts on the “bleaching phenomenon” and “black self-loathing”. She feels that weaves and bleaching go against people “insulting” what God has created.

She said that she has always been against it because it boils down to “low self-esteem and self-loathe”.

“You will never find white people wearing our hair the way we [wear] other people’s hair; going all out like that. You will never find white people wearing afro wigs, black afro wigs to go out and stuff, unless it’s a [themed] party or the circus,” she added.

“Low self-esteem made us black people hate the colour of their skin, it made us feel like we were [cheated] because we are black. Even in my time people used things like “Ambi cream” so that they became lighter, but I don’t understand why we are insulting the way God created us,” she said.

In this week’s issue of my Performance Improvement IDEAS (PII) newsletter, I feature excerpts from a PDF Annotated Screenshot Demonstration guide document I created for my nifty Excel-VB Income & Expense Manager™ built in 2006 – and which I used to create a lucrative niche market selling custom Excel-VB software from (door-to-door at the time!) in Nigeria.

My purpose here is to illustrate how SHOWING potential buyers of solutions you offer VISUAL demonstration of what it can do, will often go a LONG way to convince those who are serious enough, to take buying action.

PII 069: Make More Money Faster Using THIS Strategy [Case Study: Selling Unconventional Custom Built Excel-VB Software Online]

[Preamble: This piece comes a day late due to a curious combination of annoyances in the Nigerian space, related to poor power supply and erratic connectivity of a kind I’ve NEVER seen before. I offer details in the post to follow THIS one]

People rarely decide to buy at first contact with you – except what you sell is well established and commonplace e.g. mobile phone recharge cards.

When you’re selling your own original or unique range of products and services, people will often want to take their time to EVALUATE what you offer, to be sure it would be worth their investment of money, time, effort and/or resources.

The more useful information you can supply to AID them in doing that, the easier it will be for you to lead them to the end of your sales process -at which point they DECIDE to buy.

I’ve had MANY MANY MANY (!!!) thousands of hours of experiences with failures and successes in this regard, with the former happening more often, especially in my startup years.

Today, I’ve mastered the process of selling my custom Excel-VB software for 15 to 20 times the price I sold my Excel-VB Income and Expense manager in those pavement pounding days between 2006 and 2011.

Without leaving my home, working remotely via the web, I use my web marketing system to publish and propagate smart value adding information and education that over time draws in prequalified prospects to request for details of how to buy from me.

Many times I get web form enquiries. There are also times when I get emails. And sometimes I get phone calls.

Incidentally the latter (phone calls based enquiries for my solutions) has been happening most frequently since the start of this year.

The screenshot below shows an email in which I delivered a copy of THIS Excel-VB Income and Expense Manager to a UK based client who ordered it last week.

Hello Once again Mr. Tayo solagbade,

It was nice speaking to you earlier today and finally putting a voice to your name. Thank you for the information you provided about

1. the feed formulation bundle
2. the Excel VB Tutorials / lectures

As I expressed during our chat, the acquisition of the later is not yet clear to me.

Please kindly forward the Paypal email of your contact in the UK / US (i.e. Mr Segun – as mentioned in our phone conversation) so that I can go ahead and procure the feed formulation bundle. Also, please include in your reply, the url of the currency conversion website you mentioned during our phone chat.

I look forward to hearing back from you. Once again, thank you for your time today and bye for now.

Niyi xxxxx

All of that has transpired between us, despite the fact that we have NEVER met.

In other words, all he’s had to go on, to make his buying decisions has been the stuff I put out online, in addition to the resources – like the PDF guide featured below – that I ALWAYS offer to send any person who requests details.

Below: Screenshot of payment received just today – for one of my information products – from a client who had in late last year bought my Excel-VB Poultry Farm Manager, Ration Formulator and Feed Formulation handbook.

If you want to overcome the challenge of physical distance or location, to make more money in your business, you NEED to adopt a similar strategy to mine

In other words, start using a Web marketing System – like i do.

It does not produce ALL the desired results overnight. Instead they come in phases over time. But one thing is sure: Not only does it start saving you money ALMOST immediately, but it also significantly boosts your name/brand recognition and creditability on a continuous basis – if you do it right.

Those are benefits that money simply cannot buy. and yet they boost your chances of making sales because they cause your target audience to TRUST more readily that YOU can help them!

Click here to download the PDF version of the user guide for my nifty low cost maiden Excel-VB app – the Income and Expense Manager.

This PDF guide is complemented by a step-by-step video tutorial published in YouTube channel that users watch to get up and running with using the app.

The same kinds of resources exist for my other products – including the popular Excel-VB Poultry Farm Manager – and even services that I offer, like my Web Marketing Systems Development Service.

Click here to read the story of how I built it over one weekend, after which I began going from office to office selling it on my Auto run Business Marketing CDROMs (initially starting from places like Akoka, Bariga and environs, before moving to Ogba, Ikeja etc).

My experiences back then were what taught me to write the article titled “There Is Nothing Wrong With a Humble Beginning – Achieve YOUR Success With Honor & Integrity”!

This is the main navigation menu that appears after the license agreement has been passed. You can bring up this menu anywhere in the program by pressing the ENTER key (ensure no form is loaded when doing this).

Click to go to the “Raw Data Entry Table” into which you will make all entries from your paper records. Phone Calls, Expenses incurred on fuel, paper reams etc will be auto-converted into Cash Inflow or Cash Spent as appropriate using the Data Entry Form See Fig D

All your input into the Raw Data Entry Table Worksheet will be reorganized, analysed, & charted here to generate a 28 to 31 day income & expenses(plus cash flow) summaries report for the selected month.

Under “Income Source” you will type the short label for the income generating activity you wish to track. Under Detail, you will add a name/label that further describes it – especially when it occurs in variants.

What appears in the drop menu for data entry in the Raw Data Entry Table is a combination of the specified “Income Source” and the “Detail” – see the column labeled “Category” above.

The program uses these income category descriptions to assign income data entered for preparation of analysis, charts and reports.

The FARM CEO (Issue 83): How Digital Technology Is Changing Farming in Africa [Harvard Biz Review], For Africa’s farmers it’s government, not big business, that is key [The Guardian], Africa’s Farmers Need Investment to Feed Africa [Real Agriculture]

June 4, 2017 Tayo Solagbade Leave a comment

In this issue of the Farm CEO newspaper, I feature 3 interesting articles about latest development in Africa’s farm business industry from high profile website publishers namely: The Harvard Business Review, The Guardian and Real Agriculture Dot Com.

Topics covered include changes Digital Technology is making in Africa’s Farming, Africa’s farmers’ dependence on government, and the need for Africa’s Farmers to get investment if they are to Feed Africa.

1. How Digital Technology Is Changing Farming in Africa [Harvard Biz Review]

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the world population will reach 9.1 billion by 2050, and to feed that number of people, global food production will need to grow by 70%. For Africa, which is projected to be home to about 2 billion people by then, farm productivity must accelerate at a faster rate than the global average to avoid continued mass hunger.

The food challenges in Africa are multipronged:

2. For Africa’s farmers it’s government, not big business, that is key [The Guardian]

frica’s agriculture sector is on the up. After decades of stagnation, the continent’s farms have registered sustained growth in productivity every year since 2005. That’s good news for the 520 million Africans dependent on farming for their livelihoods, and the millions more who rely on them for their food.

But African farmers still produce far less food per hectare than the world average. Yields for cereal farmers in South Africa, home to one of the continent’s most productive agriculture sectors, are less than half those of their UK counterparts. In central African states such as Niger and Eritrea, they are less than a 10th.

One of the key differences between the UK and Africa is the role of the private sector.

3. Africa’s Farmers Need Investment to Feed Africa [Real Agriculture]

Globally, the big question in food production – the one that reverberates in any discussion about the future – is who will feed the increasingly hungry world, and how.

Most of the focus is on Africa, and the growing population there.

So the question goes: Who will feed Africa?

Well, after spending two weeks with some 150 agricultural journalists from nearly 60 countries at a well-organized, informative conference visiting South Africa farms and agri-businesses, meeting progressive farmers and seeing the enormous potential that is starting to be realized, one thing is clear to me: to a major extent, Africa will feed Africa.

When I suspect someone relating with me is a CD, I do NOT let on that I suspect what s/he is up to.

For instance, let’s say s/he says s/he wants to buy my Excel-VB Poultry Farm Manager for a farm business s/he claims s/he plans to start “soon”, BUT URGENTLY wants me to set up a branded Facebook business marketing page for his/her Agro consulting outfit next week.

Nothing spells disrespect and manipulation more than THAT!

So s/he begins life doing a job s/he does not like for its pay and possibly work conditions, but which s/he feels obligated to hold on to, until something better shows up.

Very few parents ever tell them another formula exists i.e. the route of self-employment or entrepreneurship. And THAT journey can be started more or less at the same time as formal schooling.

Conventional schools are not telling learners the truth about what they need to know and have to achieve what Nigerian society defines as success.

Smart best practice parents will focus on identifying what works, to ensure their honest, upright, do-things-the-right-ways kids don’t end up getting frustrated in the society after they leave school

In Nigeria, this problem is compounded by the fact that those who have no work routinely have more money than those who do.

Our conventional schooling system tries to force ALL learners into the same mould – and THAT is wrong!

The status update shown in the screenshot below, posted by Charles Ayo Dada features powerfully thought provoking rhetorical questions that underscore the point I’m making here…

Our schools are forcing kids to study subjects they often do not need to manifest their genius and find their purpose in life.

Ask yourself: What kind of schooling system has society made available? Does it give my child what s/he needs to succeed in the real world of the Nigerian society?

I argue that taking exams is not the only way to evaluate learning achieved. Indeed passing exams is no guarantee of success anywhere in the world, especially outside paid employment.
