Please Do not Use Wheat Flour to Make Swallow like Amala and Semovita

Read this post before you decide. “Wheat is now the preferred swallow meal for many Nigerian families particularly in the urban centres. Sadly too, some rural dwellers have hooked onto the fad that wheat is a “healthy” food. Early this year, a middle-aged man from Ekiti State came to my office for solution to his health challenges – diabetes and high blood pressure. Upon enquiry on his diet, he said wheat was his major mealdaily. According to him, virtually all the civil servants working at the state and local governments in Ekiti State also eat wheat as their regular meal.

Why Snail farming is better than Poultry, fishery, piggery and Ruminant Animal Production

With Nigerian population at exactly 210 million people with its occupants on just  28% of its total land mass and as its megacities are home to about 145 million people. protein consumption among its people still remains a very big challenge. An average Nigerian consumes less than 10 pounds or 4.5kg of protein per year unlike in the United States with a population of 322 million people where an average individual consumes more than 150 pounds or 68kg per year. No doubt Agriculture is a fantastic and fulfilling venture especially in both crop and livestock production but which its materialization is still very young or green. To meet the protein production target, alot of effort is pumped into piggery which is still pilfered by the Islamic religion that forbids its meat, cost of feeding the animal which is less challenging compared to that of ruminant animal and health rumor by medicals house, individuals and unacertained facts by health authourities about its cholesterol level whic...
