ACFA: WHY FARMERS FAIL

It is truly painful to see that every effort put in by farmers in order to make this sector attractive and more productive proves abortive. The questions in the minds of most intelligent farmers are:

1.      Why are farmers treated as outcast, even in his/her own motherland?

2.      Why are they made to pass through pain and agony, and still do not get any support from government?

3.      Why is malevolence always unleashed on farmers, even when it’s clear that they toil day and night to make sure there’s food in the table of everyone in our communities?.

These and many other heart throbbing questions are being asked in regard to the way(s) farmers are treated in Edo State. Why is this issue a great concern for some concerned individuals and organizations; the likes if ACFA.

It is probably because the All Cooperative Farmers Association has resolved to create an avenue where those in the grass root will be heard, noticed and assisted. They may have also conceived a rationale to inform, educate, and enlighten the people about the activities of those in the grass root. ACFA also have the ability to purchase and market all Edo Farmers produce. We also have the intent to make the general public know the level of flexibility that operates in the group. With these qualities displayed by ACFA, you will see that it’s a home for all (A Human Eucalyptus) an organization that have enough room to accommodate any individuals/groups that may find confidence in her. plight

The fact that these set of human are subjected to difficulty and are treated as slaves in their own fathers’ house, reflect the reality that they are not legitimate children of the master. Because if they are, they would not have been treated so badly. Hence we in Gofta insinuates that if the situation is properly put on examination, you will find out that those oppressing the farmers are the privileged slaves in the master’s household. The one Billion Naira question here is, has the master willed the birthright and the legitimacy of his children (his blood) to his slaves? Is the master on a long term trip abroad? Has the children offended the master (their father) to the extent that he willingly allowed them to be maltreated?

The right answer to these questions will put an end to the puzzle (Why are the farmers maltreated?) the book ‘Why Are The Farmers Mishandle is the first of his kind, written, produced and printed by Gofta world group initiative center. Authored by, pro-Agbons Osakue (p.c.l.).

Over the years many events has taken place which has shown that the most important sector of Nigeria Economy has been Rickety managed. In the united state of America for custom, according to the journal (world watch) they now have fewer farmers than prisoner. The reason is not for fetched.  The farmers are mishandled, they are not cared for.  It doesn’t seem or appear to those in authority that the farmer plays any significant role in the life of the citizenry.  But the fact remains that it is expensive pretense for them because a nation without farmers is been regarded as no nation.  Hence even the governmental official cannot live without the existence of farmers.
