DADDY SHOWKEY BLOWS HOT:<br />

Says Naira Marley doesn’t deserve<br />

such illtreatment from EFCC<br />

Veteran musician, Daddy Showkey, has criticized and condemned the heavy security<br />

circumstances under which the Economic and F<strong>in</strong>ancial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on<br />

Monday, arraigned popular street music rapper, Azeez Fashola, a.k.a Naira Marley<br />

before a Federal High Court sitt<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> Lagos on 11-count charge of alleged credit card fraud.<br />

Accord<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong> the Fire Fire s<strong>in</strong>ger, the level of security attached <strong>to</strong> Marley was unfair and<br />

undeserv<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

“When I saw the way Naira Marley was escorted under heavy security on Monday,<br />

it made me laugh. What has he done <strong>to</strong> deserve that level of security? Is he a threat <strong>to</strong><br />

the society? All the people that pose a threat <strong>to</strong> our society haven’t gotten that k<strong>in</strong>d<br />

of treatment. I <strong>in</strong>sist that he is still a small boy grow<strong>in</strong>g up. We all have made<br />

mistakes <strong>in</strong> the past, if you haven’t, yours would surely come someday. Don’t<br />

th<strong>in</strong>k because you are <strong>in</strong> position <strong>to</strong>day you can use it anyhow. I’ve said it, we<br />

have begged that he should be given another chance but you people don’t<br />

want <strong>to</strong> listen. Rather you treat him like he was the one who looted <strong>Nigeria</strong>’s<br />

treasury. The people who have looted and are still loot<strong>in</strong>g <strong>Nigeria</strong>’s<br />

treasury, what have you people done <strong>to</strong> punish them? Yet you keep treat<strong>in</strong>g<br />

him like he’s a slave. You can do whatever you want with him; your<br />

children will meet their waterloo also.”, he said.<br />

Showkey added that government’s <strong>in</strong>sensitivity <strong>to</strong> the poor masses’<br />

cont<strong>in</strong>uous suffer<strong>in</strong>gs has been responsible for <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> crime rate.<br />

“There are no jobs <strong>in</strong> the society so how do you expect the poor<br />

masses <strong>to</strong> survive? Establish vocational schools but noth<strong>in</strong>g has<br />

been done. Yet you treat him like he’s the one bomb<strong>in</strong>g <strong>Nigeria</strong>,<br />

all those bomb<strong>in</strong>g <strong>Nigeria</strong>, what have you done <strong>to</strong> them”,<br />

he added.<br />

NGOs <strong>to</strong> enhance agriculture<br />

through reality show<br />

By Vic<strong>to</strong>r Arjiromanus<br />

on-Government Organisations, Adventium Global Development Limited and Glomesam World<br />

NEnterta<strong>in</strong>ment have revealed <strong>in</strong>tentions <strong>to</strong> organize a reality TV show titled ‘Farmhouse’.<br />

Speak<strong>in</strong>g about the forthcom<strong>in</strong>g TV show, the CEO, Adventium Global Development Ltd, Mr. Isaac Oghogho<br />

noted that the attention of <strong>Nigeria</strong>n youth needs <strong>to</strong> be redirected <strong>to</strong>wards agriculture.<br />

“The <strong>in</strong>itiative arose because for several years <strong>Nigeria</strong>’s economy has been driven by crude oil production<br />

and export; a trend that several governments had tried <strong>to</strong> reverse by encourag<strong>in</strong>g and develop<strong>in</strong>g strategies<br />

and <strong>in</strong>centives <strong>to</strong> diversify the economy from crude oil export <strong>to</strong> other non-oil export products and services<br />

especially agriculture. Projects such as “Green Revolution”, “Operation Feed the Nation”, etc. were largely<br />

unsuccessful due <strong>to</strong> several fac<strong>to</strong>rs. One key fac<strong>to</strong>r for the lack of success is the youth’s apathy <strong>to</strong> Agriculture.<br />

It is our objective <strong>to</strong> stimulate, create awareness and redirect the attention of the youthful population of<br />

<strong>Nigeria</strong> <strong>to</strong> the tremendous potentials and opportunities <strong>in</strong> Agriculture us<strong>in</strong>g Enterta<strong>in</strong>ment as a delivery<br />

channel that has made the Promoters <strong>to</strong> embark on a Reality Television show Project’<br />

In her op<strong>in</strong>ion, Miss Gloria Sambo, a member of the organiz<strong>in</strong>g team shed light on the benefits accrued<br />

<strong>to</strong> participants of the reality show.<br />

“The Farmhouse concept will <strong>in</strong>volve recruitment of selected unemployed graduate participants with<br />

passion for agriculture from all over the country and camp them <strong>in</strong> an <strong>in</strong>tegrated farm for 90-days. It is<br />

aimed at promot<strong>in</strong>g the rise of Agripreneurs (Agriculture Entrepreneurship) and it’s an advocacy <strong>to</strong>ol for<br />

development of agri-bus<strong>in</strong>ess <strong>in</strong> <strong>Nigeria</strong>. Housemates will equally be tra<strong>in</strong>ed on good agricultural practices,<br />

<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g bookkeep<strong>in</strong>g and writ<strong>in</strong>g bus<strong>in</strong>ess plans for agricultural f<strong>in</strong>anc<strong>in</strong>g. In the Farm House,<br />

Housemates will be tra<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>to</strong> see agriculture as a wealth- creat<strong>in</strong>g bus<strong>in</strong>ess as opposed <strong>to</strong> the current<br />

trend where the youths perceive agriculture <strong>in</strong> a deroga<strong>to</strong>ry manner”, she said.<br />

At the end of the N<strong>in</strong>ety day period, participants will be supervised <strong>in</strong> their respective agricultural<br />

ventures by Adventium Global and the <strong>Nigeria</strong>n <strong>in</strong>tensive risk shar<strong>in</strong>g for Agriculture lend<strong>in</strong>g (NIRSAL).<br />
