NIGERIANS  NOW “GRAB -LAND “IN JAMAICA

BY ABDULMUMINI ADEKU.

Nigerian investors are gradually moving into the sub sector of the Jamaican economy .

Checks by The News Office Desk of Paedia Express Multimedia Group in Lagos,Nigeria ,shows that this is happening due to virtually nothing to be paid for on land by investors in the West indies.

A source who has lived in the United kingdom since 1997 but who recently moved to Kingston, Jamaica ,only four years ago with his family said that there was a lot of opportunities in the Caribbean’s for anybody who knows how to look for money and  make money too as well.

The source noted that  he at the moment was into Marijuana ,sugar cane,maize and Alloe vera farming as he tries to use those to put food on the table for his family.

He explained that due to the politics of the global medicare industry and pharmaceutical firms ,it was difficult for them to speak out publicly on the efficacy of Marijuana on human beings because of the cash they had expended on anti-biotics.

He paid tributes to the average Jamaican for their love for Africa while singling out Ethiopia as a place they love because Haille Selassie ,their late Emperor once came to Kingston on a visit and after praying for them  it actually rained in a nation that had drought and famine starring them in the face as at then .

He added that he has at least 80 hectares of farm land which he works on right now in Jamaica..

Presence of criminal penalties for Possession and Use of Marijuana was a rigid requirement of US drug laws and was successfully made a world standard via US sponsored International Treaties promulgated by the UN. Marijuana is accordingly listed as a Schedule 1 drug, not to be used under any circumstances, except under special government license for research. In practice, the government has refused to authorize such research unless designed to demonstrate marijuana toxicity.

Since the early Nineteen Eighties, changes in disease prevalence and medical care have greatly increased the population of patients who can benefit from therapeutic marijuana, AIDS patients and cancer patients receiving increasingly effective chemotherapy. Despite long-standing opposition to marijuana as medicine, the government was forced to subsidize commercial research which led to production of Marinol, a synthetic analogue of the principle active agent in marijuana and seemingly responsible for most, if not all of its psychotropic and medicinal properties. This agent is approved for Schedule 2 (tightly regulated by special prescription). Although effective, Marinol is overall less well tolerated, less effective and considerably more expensive than herbal marijuana. In 1996, medical use of marijuana was approved by state-wide ballot initiatives in California and Arizona, thus setting up a dichotomy between state and federal law.

That battle is now in the courts where a restraining order has been issued to prevent penalties against doctors until the issue is resolved. In the meantime, buyers clubs are operating openly in California under local regulations in some communities and proposals for research are being negotiatedwith the federal government and considered by the California legislature. Medical marijuana initiatives are currently being studied in several other states.

Because the number of people arrested and imprisoned for marijuana violations is the major justification for funding of the enforcement bureaucracy, most policy experts agree that anti-marijuana laws will be fiercely defended at the federal level and difficult to overturn.
