4/6 One-size-fits-all donor-driven or imported solutions clash with our reality, federalism, diversity, and economic volatility. Lack of political will, regime changes, corruption, poor stakeholder engagement, vague goals, and inadequate resources,

1/6 Policy failure is not primarily a formulation problem; it is an implementation crisis. Studies consistently show gaps caused by bureaucracy, monitoring deficits, and misaligned external factors. CAfPRA breaks it down with evidence and proposes fixes. #cafpra #policies

5/6 Our traditional farming uses crop rotation and natural organic matter to keep the soil alive. while the imported seeds strip the soil of the microbes it needs, forcing the farmer to use even more chemicals just to get the same yield.

1/6 We often hear that GMOs and foreign-patented seeds are the “future of farming.” But before we invite these companies in, we have to look at what they actually do to us. It isn’t just business, it’s a change in our entire ecosystem.

3/4 At CAfPRA, we are advocating for an education policy that empowers the next generation to own their potential. We believe in an Africa that educates for its own survival and its own glory. The time for passive reliance on a foreign curriculum is over.

1/4 A nation is only as strong as its mind. Africa’s future cannot be totally dependent on a foreign curriculum. We need an educational identity that reflects the strength, history, and ambition of our people.

I'd like to congratulate the new DG of NBMA, Dr. Fatima Suleiman-Zuntu. NBMA is the agency responsible for approving GMO in Nigeria. I am particularly happy that @drfatima84 is online on this app, so we can work closely with her here. I know you got your posting yesterday, but we have to hit the ground running. I'm sure you are already aware of how the bread situation went last week on this app so let's just dive right into some areas you need to look into urgently: 1. Argentina produced GMO Wheat, HB4. Most part of the world are still doing Confined Field Trials, less than 10 countries are patronizing it. Nigeria gave it full approval food, feed and milling (full import license) in ONE MONTH. 2. All the companies using it currently in Nigeria have violated @NafdacAgency and @BiosafetyNig 's regulation to LABEL THEIR PRODUCTS (spaghetti, noodles, biscuits, semovita, semolina, flour, etc) as GENETICALLY ENGINEERED to give consumers a choice. If they have, I have not seen, and I call on all Nigerians to check also. 3. Nigeria's approval was done based on US FDA's approval (are we a sovereign state or what?) 4. @NafdacAgency l @BiosafetyNig (NBMA)'s risk assessments are zero long term (humans are long term beings), mostly brought along with the applicant and they rubber stamp. Nigeria has approved most of what several African countries have ignored, especially the GMO for cultivation which end of decimating and wiping out our natural variants, creating foreign dependency, and many other issues. 5. NBMA gave Trigali Genetics, a JV between Bioceres Solutions (the manufacturers of HB4 in Argentina), and some other people, the import license, which expired July 2025. Sister, when you resume this week, do not renew the license. Keep it expired. 6. HB4 makes wheat tolerant to Glusifonate ammonium, a herbicide banned in EU/UK and under restrictive use in many parts of the world, known for it's reprotoxic nature- it can damage the unborn child or fertility and it failed regulatory approval under stricter health and safety criteria. This means HB4 will contain high doses of Glusifonate because there is already reported increased use of Glusifonate in Argentina. Glusifonate is also a neurotoxin, 7. Finally, this week/next week, Rose Gidado will either be at your doorstep or her gang from National Biotech Research and Development Agency (NBRDA). If you grant her audience and she is able to string you to Bill Gates Puppetry, this app will not contain us. She is the link, and her work has been to ensure she controls NBMA in approving GMOs in Nigeria, using OFAB- heavily documented reports are available to this. Rose Gidado is not a friend of Nigeria; she is both a FG Director, and Director of OFAB; an organization parasitically using NBRDA's FG cover to executive foreign anti-human work, and the last PDP-administration was the entry point. If you can successfully ban GMO maize, beans and cotton in Nigeria, you will attain instant political relevance, the youths will back you, and your political career will take a very high flight! Your Governorship/House of Rep/Senatorial ambition will be within reach. So in conclusion, commence a test to see if the HB4's now complex sugar in wheat, along with the introduction of glusifonate and drought tolerant modification, has affected wheat and made it a weapon fashioned against your people. Don't rely on their current reports. Welcome to NBMA, @BiosafetyNig
