Isn't this headline another case of the soft bigotry of the Left? 'Nigeria Could Feed Africa'....but it takes white farmers to do it?

These farmers would be welcome here in the U.S. Of course, there's the matter of political-correctness and the usual cries of racism from the left.
To: LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget
Well, thank God it was only a "disastrous land-reform program". Here I was worried that it was a racist violation of human rights...

Consider this. Anyone with a shred on sense left Zim 20 years ago. Do you think these people have ANY sense? Do we need more idiots? I propose no. (SA Expat since 78)
To: keithtoo
That's what I was thinking. I suspect that the Nigerian govt. will protect them for now.

Once they have the agriculture booming in Nigeria, the Muslims will kick them out and take over. Then Nigeria will starve, too.
What, is farming genetic? Are white people the only ones who can do it?

You can be assured that the Nigerian frying pan will not contain a pork product.

If anyone wants to invest in Nigerian Agribusiness, I have an excellent investment contact in Nigeria. He writes to me often.

I don't think the beautiful white girl who wants me to pay her Nigerian hotel bill so she can leave the country is really cut out for farming.

nyone with a shred on sense left Zim 20 years ago. It hasn't been easy for anybody to leave that cesspool with any more than the shirt on his back, for a very, very long time.
From "The Switzerland of Africa" to just one more thoroughly African failure in a quarter-century.

I am sure there were people on the Titanic that did not get on lifeboats because there was no room for their luggage. Wonder what Cathy Buckle would have done? Oh wait, that is a rhetorical question.

Africa feeding Africa ? Now there's a thought.

I spoke to someone last week who had just visited Nigeria. She described a country in the midst of a vicious civil war, with deep-seeded political corruption at the national, regional, and local level. This is a country with ethnic (tribal) rivalries that make the old Yugoslavia seem like a walk in the park.
The government dosen't pay the troops in the outlying provinces on time or adequately, so they set up roadblocks to rob anyone who appears to have anything worth robbing.
These Zim farmers have made a big big mistake.
