From the analysis presented here regarding people that may need food, shows that every living soul is bound to eat or else death becomes his or her companion.

Why then does the various arm of governments in Nigeria decided to neglect the farmers? a case study is Edo state, where the hardworking farmers have been relegated to nothing. And the set of people that need this food most, are the same people causing division among the un-suspecting farmers. It's like everyone have forgotten so soon the book of Matthew 24: 7b.

The dedicated All Cooperative Farmers Association plead with you our governor and the government cabinet, including the legislature that what we need at this point is not just loan, rather grant and poliycy that will create a level plain ground for the farmers to operate. As this will boost the effort and determination of the farmers. It will awaken the zeal and concentration, dedication to duty to these most honorable, legitimate, Law abiding citizens of this great country, Nigeria.

            
We wont stop requesting until we get what we are requesting for. The All Cooperative Farmers Association have decided to show their seriousness and consciousness to make farming honourable and also to be accepted by the onlookers who thought the lives of farmers will never be changed for the better. The farmers has been permitted to use some part of the government reserve in Okokhuo as a demonstration farm this year 2014, to really show how determined and skilled they are in the farming business. And with their collective effort, have been able to maintain about 100 acres out of the 100 Hectares approved for this Association by the Ministry of Environment and Utilities.
