Mr Ogbeh gave this advice in Abuja on Thursday at the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between two company, Nigeria Agricultural Mechanisation and Equipment Leasing Company and MANTRAC Nigeria Limited.
“I implore our youth to take advantage of this project. Youth should come into agriculture to take advantage of the project, bearing in mind the responsibility of feeding the nation will increasingly depend on them from now into the nearest future,” he said He said the move will improve mechanised farming to give room for food sufficiency and reduce poverty.Last year, according to a report by the Daily Sun newspaper, the federal government signed a pact with NAMEL/John Deere for the supply of over 10,000 tractors to boost agriculture in the country.
KolaTewogbade Your ministry and other government parastater are not in anyway encouraging the youths because the loans and grants made available for agricultural purposes are not well disbursed to the right youths both otherwise
Yes farming is another source of income Zambia applied farming fifteen years ago.
Those that are willing to farm don't have the resources to... Some of us are Ready but there's no help even if there is, the help don't reach us at all.
Your nyash
isholabaryor Just like former president Olusegun Obasanjo did. We hear.
Who's this minister? Do they thinking before they open their mouth? Incompetent people!
This AuduOgbeh is high on shisha. Who gave him microphone please?
Dear Audu Ogbe, the ones who are already engaged in farming can't sell off their fish, their cashew is still stuck at the wharf and their having to sell their basket of tomato at N100 or give it out for free cos no storage. Please wake up sir.
Where are your children sir
Because all our politician did same abi ?
Tales by a Dinosaurian.
Like he did in the 70's when he started politics.
True, sir, Youth consume more food
Our political office holders will be talking like their children are into farming or doing the same things they asked us to do. Leadership is by example as opposed to a wishful thinking expressed by majority of our polical office holders.
He should tell us how many hectares of land he farms and the taxes he pays thereof?.
How many of your children are in farm?
Should embrace farming or Education? We are our own problem abegi. 🚶
It just an advice, it does not warrant to insults
Opportunitist should thank God not mock the new generation citizens
Go and tell your children.
Is not just saying it Sir. Nigeria should make owning a profitable farm a requirement for running for any political post and watch miracles in Agricultural sector.
And the old fools will continue to use political offices to undermine the work of the youths. We jump and pass!!!!
I agree with you
Did you ever farm? I know maybe one or two of your children are in Europe or US having a better life. Y not leave your post and start farming. Nonsense
Talking nonsense
Very foolish talk... Shameless human beings
Why is the man disgracing IDOMA NATION!
How many of the youths in your constituency have you convinced to go into farming or empowered before? It's surprises me when most of you are there sitting at the center doing nothing only to talk.
Audu Ogbeh where are your son's and daughters doing their farm tango. Where did you do your own sef. Smh😤😤
Give us an example among you,,,,,,,
See talk. .
Ogbe retired to pave way for the younger generation.
Just create the enabling environment that would allow that and see what happens.
Like you people before u joined politicts? You dont make us have a good atmosphere and u are forcing us to do what u people failed to do...what an irony
Walking down a certain university corridor in the USA, I overhead a young man speaking of how his government is paying him for five years to study suitable structures for habitation in the moon My own government just asked me to go the farm-not even mechanized farming. SMH
He is shameless with outdated idea.
If they throw words at u now they will say we have insulted an old man. Y not tell ur children to farm before going abroad for their schooling. Nonsense
I think this Minister is suffering from old age mentality otherwise, he is one of oldest politicians that grounded Ajaokuta Steel Plant today.
Just as he farmed his way to political offices since 1982 when he first became minister of Communication. Talking the talk🙄
Please tell that to your children first and if they obey then come back and impliment for federal
Starting with your children. Nigeria old political folks like yourself are the ones that should be in danger farm at this your age. What do you v to offer as a minister at this your age? Rubbish! The youths r the ones that r good for farming while you old folks wi be flexing ABJ.
I hope your son will join in farming too
Preach what you do sir
This one that has been eating common wealth before most of us were born us still talking about who should be looking for office or appointment. These people should never be, allowed to govern anything beyond the governance of their families. Bandaid politicians. Rawbish
cchukudebelu Sir, if anyone can hear me, am a post graduate student in oau, am staying in osogbo, am into farming, precisely beans farming. I av tried how i can get loan to further my farming but to no awail. How do u encourage us the youth when there are no funds and to help us. I need fund
🤦🏾♂️ are africans so cursed to keep believing that suffering = hard work?
cchukudebelu I was thinking they banned codeine
Is that what you did before you entered politics?
Is that what you did sir when you were young?
You are out dated. Retire yourself Ogbe !!!
Pls don't respond to this tweet as it may make you drawn into being abusive towards the minister. I'm sure he didn't say that. If I have my way I would scrap the NYSC
'Maybe your youths are running to Trudeau's Canada because he embraced farming before going into politics'
Did you toil the ground before seeking for office.
Your children must be a farmer ..
These guys are not fit for this jobs ...
Old man refuse to leave government for younger I ones, you have the gods to tell them to go farm. Shame on Nigeria
I think there are so many youth in this country that wants to go in to agriculture but there is no money to start some of us even have the land for it.
As ur sons and daughters has done, shame on you
Thunder from the pit of hell should fire the minister and burn him to ashes. Your kids study abroad and you prepare the best political offices for them while others graduate in Nigeria and go into farming. May your generation be cursed, bastard
Complete madness!
Were u taken from the farm to become a minister?
How many of his children are into farming? Is he a farmer an edge says that charity begins at home. Start it and other will soon as they see u.
Farming shouldn't be forced on us. It should be a hobby for most of us. I wish Yar'Adua were to be alive, he would have understood my idea better than these living errors.
What stop you of being a farmer
This man is bad make your yeye APC remove Fulani killers from our farm first yeye God’s punish you and your yeye APC
Make his children take he lead others will follow
It's 2019 and my country thinks agriculture is still the way forward. Not technology or any other proven method of national growth. No, agriculture. Name one successful powerful country that relies on agriculture please.
The same man that said Nigerians order pizza from Uk. He should show us his farm first
He should tell that to his kids
With the insecurity mess. How many farmers who have lost their farms and crops has the MBuhari Agric Minister compensated? Is this the advice this grandfather Minister gives his grandkids in this age of gig economies. U can't secure life and property teach u want youth to farm?
Because that's how you too you build your career .Deceiving the youth with such lies just for your selfish
Just imagine! Yes you are right. But the question is 'are your children doing the same?'.
Is it by force to farm?
I know all his children, no one is a farmer.
Old hypocrite who has outlived his usefulness.
How many farms does each of your children have?
Listen to this imp called AUDU. Do make we cjop rice. Imbecile...
Same farming that Lagos State government want to kill us with tax. Can't imagine receiving bill for radio and television for poultry.
What is the position of Land Administration in Nigeria? Has the Land Use Act helped in making land available? Old men should retire to the farms. Gowon, Ojukwu, et al were all youths when they were in power. The president of France and the Canadian leader shld have been farmers.
ceonigeria_ Audu need urgent medical check up. Must allow ur mouth 👄 to spit trash all the time
No problem! I would like to work in Yusuf's farm! I meant Buhari's son!
Great ideal Hon.minister, but the Bush is not safe for farmers to farm.
Preach preacher
Mad man.
Dinosaur. It's not everyone that enjoy farming.
Where is the agricultural market in Nigeria? Mr minister There's no industry . Ask those that engaged in farming some of them are losing a lot of money.
Did this old idiot has a farm before becoming the minister of agri-nonsense. Ori yin o pe sir.
I hate nonsense all of you that are old now got everything in your youthful age and it was not through farming. Besides you are farming at your risk because of herders. I rest my case
Dis Minister is a jerk
Nice advice but most of the youth don't have startups
Imagine
Starting from his children
Animal talk don start again!
I started hearing this man name when I was in primary school, then he wasn't a farmer but held political offices then. Now in my my late 30's he is still in the corridor of powers saying rubbish to our youths. I blame our youths for supporting the aged men to power.
Is that what your own children are doing sir?
Smh
Our 71yr-old Minister of FmardNg has been relatively quiet for about 4yrs. But Buhari will soon reshuffle cabinet and Baba Audu Ogbe has suddenly found his voice. The other day it was Youths & Pizza. Today, it's Youths & Farming. Hopefully, he'll name a Youth as Agric Minister
Many many of your children are into farming
This man has started again
Is he suffering from iberiberism?
Hmmmm
How many hectares do you have? Oloshi
Like you did 😁🤣
The way you did sir..
Minister of Pizza
Imbecile and obsolete minister
Farming is great! He made a valid point. But my question - how is the government he belongs to encouraging the youths to embrace farming? No Nigerian government has been serious about this in the last four decades. Have got my fingers burnt few times I tried. We ain't ready yet!
This man again!
Did you embrace farming before your ministerial appointment
This man deserves to be beaten
Audu Ogbe, please provide factories for your farmers in Benue, help them to process their oranges, mangoes and other food produce, to package them and sell. You know how much that'll bring the government.
See this mumu again.
Did you practice farming before you became a minister?
I need to mute this man on all channels in my space right now. How he managed to embrace so much unintelligence is worthy of a study too.
Are your children and grandchildren embracing farming?
Does your ministry provide machinery, chemical, funds, market and other useful things? FmardNg
As you did? In the first Republic, you were elected to the federal house alongside with oloye( saraki's father) but in 2015, you bow before his son (saraki) for ministerial confirmation. Isn't that a shame?
I wonder some of MBuhari cabinets do take before coming to the press
When the world is moving towards technology, Nigerian should go and farm... A youth in a small room making apps in India will earn more than a youth farmer with hectares of farm land... These expired and demented politicians should just go and kpeme please😓😓😓
Unfortunately for me this dude is my kinsman, how on earth did he get appointed in the first place? He seems not to have anything to offer again.
Buhari and co started politics at a very youthful age and they never embraced farming so what a fvck is dis man talking abt?
The way you did at your own time, abi?
Shouldnt this man be place on amnesia psycho therapy.
This man always speak like someone who is depressed.
Look at this old foul of a minister was he farming before becoming a minister or PDP chair nonsense of a man AuduOgbeh
PMB kitchen cabinet well over due for reshuffle!!!
This man is on tramadol , he has been minister since 4 decades , let him tell us his achievement , where is ogbeh children’s? Are they embracing farming?
PMB should not include this man in his next ministerial appointments. Man doesn't have anything to offer.
Please if you know his family members tag them and tell them that their daddy say they should all become farmers. I am sure his children are not in Nigeria, or perhaps they are working at CBN or NPC, whose children does he think are born to suffer? Good riddle to bad rubbish😷
Ogbeh has gone mad again
Did u farm in ur youth day or 're ur children farmer's
Where is your farm? How many tonnes of farm product do you export monthly? How favourable do your export influence Nigerian foreign exchange?
Agriculture with “colonies”?!
How many present day Ministers and politicians embraced farming before becoming politicians?
Old Man don come
