Rodent + 1,424 January 26, 2018 If Nigeria can't get their oil act together, there's always nuts. Apparently in Kogi State, revenues from cashews will overtake oil revenue. Govt is encouraging all to "go back to the farm".... http://thenationonlineng.net/revenue-from-cashew-nuts-will-surpass-crude-oil-kogi/ 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marina Schwarz + 1,576 January 29, 2018 Always a good idea and so much more environmentally friendly! Now they just need to clean up the Delta and start planting cashews. I cand definitely see this happening. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rodent + 1,424 January 29, 2018 I wonder how long it will take them to hatch a cashew spill response plan? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kate Turlington + 44 KT January 29, 2018 And lets remember why the Niger Delta is the way it is today. Definitely not an 'all-Nigerian' blame game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rodent + 1,424 February 1, 2018 Well, that cashew business is looking better and better, methinks. One of Nigeria's three main refineries is down, because it doesn't have any crude to process. https://www.reuters.com/article/nigeria-oil/nigerias-kaduna-refinery-shut-temporarily-state-oil-firm-says-idUSL8N1PR7KL?rpc=401& Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Addy + 14 AW February 1, 2018 I think they refinery is down because they are short of crude oil. I know Nigeria has some refinery problems, but I'm not sure this is a refinery problem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
