Successive land reforms in Zimbabwe have cost thousands of white farmers their land. Many decided to leave and now another African country - Nigeria - is hoping to reap the benefits. A Reuters Africa Journal report by Hannington Osodo and Mujo Masinde

  • Nigeria appears to have some intelligent people in its government. Zimbabwe ruins itself while others gain.

  • americanpatriot, Nigeria is very different in education,world view and character from ANY African country.Lagos state alone is bigger than Zimbabwe,Nobody can control Nigeria (Includes US,UK,Russia etc). These farmers like many foreign born Nigerians living here own their land with the banks.As long as they keep their side of the bargain,they have nothing to fear in Nigeria.Their skills/ efforts would save Nigeria more than $100 billion dollars spent annually on food importation.

  • Nigeria is hurting for prosperity, but doesn't seem to be affected by the same megalomania that Zimbabwean leaders are. They've seized this opportunity. Good for them.

    Also, don't bicker with the people spewing hate on here. They just feel empowered by the words they express behind the safety of a computer screen.

  • @MajorrBison he didnt have to require them to hire blacks, they already had the jobs. When the government gets involved, only people with special connections benefit

  • @MajorrBison ; WHY SHOULD HE DO THAT WHEN THERE ARE OTHER BLACK FARMERS QUALIFIED FOR THE JOB.

  • @omoibile It is my opinion that Nigeria is the country that will bring a new dawn to Africa. Nigeria is the country to watch! As for Zimbabwean farmers it is my guess that they will stay in Nigeria and be part of this new dawn.

  • @westq2 : YOU'RE WRONG! THIS FARMERS ARE TOOLS TO BE USED TO TRAIN OTHER LOCAL FARMERS AND DISCARDED WHEN THRU. THEY HAVE NO FUTURE IN NIGERIA BECAUSE THEY CAN'T LIVE THE WAY THEY WANT AS THEY DO IN ZIMBABWE. NIGERIANS ARE TOO PROUD TO BE ORDERED AROUND OR WITHSTAND ANY FORM OF ABUSE AS THEY DO IN ZIMBABWE AND SOUTH AFRICA. THEY MIGHT GET SLAPPED BY THOSE WORKERS IF THEY DON'T WATCH THEIR ACTONS..LOL.. THEY ARE IN NIGERIA ON A THERAPEUTIC FARMING SCHEME TO REMOVE THEIR RACIST CHIPS
