THE PROFITABILITY OF CASTOR SEED FARMING IN NIGERIA

THE PROFITABILITY OF CASTOR SEED FARMING IN NIGERIA By AJAYI ADEMOLA Introduction Agriculture remains one of the most lucrative and untapped sectors in Nigeria. Among the numerous cash crops with high economic value, castor seed farming is emerging as a goldmine for entrepreneurs and investors. The castor plant (Ricinus communis) is a drought-resistant shrub native to tropical regions. Its seeds produce castor oil—an industrial oil with diverse applications ranging from lubricants, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, textiles, to biodiesel. Despite being a leading producer of castor seed in the 1950s and 1960s, Nigeria’s castor farming has declined over the years due to poor awareness, lack of modern farming practices, and low government support. However, with rising global demand and a push for agricultural diversification, castor farming is re-emerging as a profitable venture in Nigeria. Castor Seed: Economic and Industrial Relevance A. Castor Oil Production Castor seeds contain between 40-6...

Pope Leo XIV: Echoes of the Past

Pope Leo XIV: Echoes of the Past, Footsteps to the Future – Continuity and the Currents of Change. By Peter Obianika The white smoke has cleared, and the bells of St. Peter's Basilica has rung out, announcing to the world the election of Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost as Pope Leo XIV. The conclave, a moment of intense prayer and discernment, has concluded, and the Church now turns its gaze towards its new shepherd. The choice of "Leo" resonates deeply, immediately invoking the legacy of Leo XIII, a Pontiff whose intellectual rigor and social conscience left an indelible mark on the Church's engagement with the modern world. In the days following the election, the world ponders: what does this name signify for the Church's path forward, particularly in the wake of Pope Francis's impactful tenure? The immediate aftermath of a papal election is a unique moment, a confluence of joy, anticipation, and reflection. The faithful, both within and beyond the Catholic C...

GROWTH AS A STUDENT

GROWTH AS A STUDENT By Comr. Chukwu Abia Chikaodiri|Grassrootsmirro. Being a student is more than sitting in classrooms, memorizing theories, and passing exams. True student growth is holistic —it includes not only academic excellence but also skill acquisition, career development, and leadership evolution . In a rapidly changing world, the students who stand out are not just those who score high grades, but those who invest in becoming complete individuals , capable of navigating life’s challenges with creativity, confidence, and character. Let’s break this down: 1. Academic Growth: The Foundation, Not the Finish Line Yes, books matter. Understanding your course materials, developing critical thinking through study, and mastering your academic field is essential. But academic growth must be seen as the foundation , not the entire structure . Key areas of academic growth include: Time management and discipline Independent thinking and problem-solving Academic writing and res...

A PRESIDENT, ONCE RIDICULED The Story of Goodluck Jonathan and Nigeria’s Irony of Memory

“A prophet is not without honor, except in his own town.” – Jesus Christ (Mark 6:4) There is a bitter irony playing out in Nigeria’s political consciousness—a haunting reminder of how time rewrites narratives. One of the most classic cases is that of Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan , Nigeria’s 14th Head of State and 3rd democratically elected President, who governed the nation from 2010 to 2015. A man once ridiculed, insulted, and dismissed as clueless, is now being re-evaluated with nostalgia, as Nigeria reels from the consequences of leadership choices made since his departure. The Mockery: When Nigerians Said "RIP" to a Sitting President During Jonathan’s presidency, particularly from 2012 to 2015, public opinion was overwhelmingly critical. He was called “clueless” , “weak” , and “inept.” His every statement was twisted into jokes. His photos were turned into memes. He was the subject of biting satire across TV, radio, and social media. Even his academic credentials—a PhD ...
