Akeredolu, I am regretting while I supported you. Yourself and Bello are a huge disappointment to APC. Have you wondered about the health Hazards of marijuana on the mental state of the youths? Can u ask your own kids to venture into such?

purrples Insurance is my hustle. At Lasaco Assurance Plc, we have many policy that will interest you and also give you cover over any life uncertainties.

Criminality will be on the increase if marijuana cultivation is allowed in Nigeria, and there will be crazy people on the Nigerian roads.

Akeredolu is a mad man.

NaijaFlyingDr This is so rad.

Sir RotimiAkeredolu, your administration has not explored 1/10th of cocoa production and its immense value chain, but here you are spending tax payers monies chasing something else.

Give it a try Mr gov

As long as nobody is smoking the weed. Export them for medical only that is all. Ondo will make Nigeria rich. It is foreign exchange, oil money through 'weed' cultivation. Sowore 'weed' initiative.

Lol see them! Mumu CUNTry

Weldone Sir
