The Ho Municipality has begun an apparently bizarre policy where residents trade faeces and urine for cash.  The dry toilet technology is an initiative from the University of Applied in Finland where faecal matters are changed into manure for purposes of growing vegetables.  The urine is separated from the faeces and permitted to decompose for about 6-12 months. Saw dust is utilized in treating the faeces in a separate chamber to speed up dehydration.  Residents are ready to cash-in on the new initiative. Officials of the Municipality tell Joy News they will utilize the initiative to tackle open defecation locally and also produce manure to improve agriculture in the country.

Your Excellency, I find it necessary to write this open letter to you in order to let you know what I had always wanted to tell you as an admirer and keen watcher of your activities and commendable performance in the oil-rich State of Akwa Ibom. 

Let me confess that I was one of those who felt you were a media creation, all hype and gas, without any solid substance. Your hyperactive nature makes it natural for people to conclude that you are a noise-maker, attention-seeker and publicity-grabber.

Bisi Akanda talks about Buhari, Jonathan, Amaechi and 2015

You were quoted as saying that the All Progressives Congress is not so keen on the presidency come 2015. What then is your focus?

I will rather say I was misquoted. How would there be a major party in 2013 and such party will not be keen about 2015? We are very much keen about 2015. The only thing I said, maybe, beclouded the one I did not say. What I said was that our preoccupation as an interim leadership of the APC was to mobilise and register members, to conduct congresses and convention to establish a good structure, a durable structure for the new party and that the priority now is the Anambra election and possibly, the Delta State senatorial election which will come up anytime from now.
