Morning Edition, March 22, 2006 · Forced out of Zimbabwe by President Robert Mugabe's infamous land-reform program, a small group of white farmers is taking advantage of a second chance in Nigeria.

Bukola Saraki, the governor of Kwara State, wooed the white commercial farmers despite some local opposition. He hopes to harness the expertise of the farmers from Zimbabwe to jump-start Nigeria's commercial agricultural sector. Nigeria spends billions annually on food imports.

Farmer Dan Swart says teaching people "the finer points of farming and finance" could "make Nigeria the breadbasket of West Africa."

A first-year yield of 4,000 tons of corn may be "the biggest single yield in Nigeria for the last 40 years," says farmer Alan Jack. He coordinated the move to Kwara state and he's recruiting an additional 40 farmers to join the initial band of 13.

As he prepared to fly to Zimbabwe to recruit more white farmers, Alan Jack said he looked forward to coming back to Nigeria, his new home.

"We're very happy here," he says. "We're back doing what we do best, which is farm... Africa needs more success stories."

Well maybe they should go an farm elsewhere!!!! Why did they need to wait for white farmers to kick start that argiculture sector!!! What happened to investing some of that pocketed oil money in local famers?????? Two steps foward three steps back.

the problem with the white race is that when they are down and out, they claw their way up to the top and start to oppress in a worse state than they were..

Lady Aleisha, nothing he's saying is racist or hateful, whites just have a history of always screwing blacks over when blacks welcome them on our territory and help whites. This is nothing new.

The last time about 500 hundred years ago we let them set foot on our shores some of us ended up here in the America's and Caribbean. I hope the Nigerian government realizes that these white men always have an ulterior motive. I sure hope 20 years down the road they aren't regretting this decision.

It never ceases to amaze on how blacks are so welcoming when it comes to whites, but we will kill our own in tribalistic wars, but we welcome these rodents who will offer nothing positive to the people in these countries. I bet if blacks were in this situation in Europe, white folks wouldn't give a damn.
