GLOBAL SHAPERS COMMUNITY (Tamale Hub) Visit Farms Affected by Army Worms

By -
As part of the Global Shapers Tamale Hub plans this year to visit and engage communities and educate them on how to fight their own problems and not wait for Government or politicians.
 Speaking to the community people in the Kumbugu District of the Northern Region, the young change makers also took the challenge to visit some of the farms, hence witness with their own eyes how the army worms have destroyed their food crops.



Farmers in the north have been complaining about lack of assistance from the agric minister as they battle the fall armywrom invasion. The Global Shapers Tamale Hub, curiosity came following the Deputy Agric Minister comments on Accra based Radio station StarrFm ”
“Anybody in the north who said his farm was destroyed by armyworm would have to prove it.
“You see that is how our brothers, excuse my language, it is so difficult to deal with them.

“I lived there for 27 years, I speak Dagbani like a Dagomba and all that. They are very difficult people. Nobody can substantiate. If anybody says that his farm was destroyed by armyworm, the person would have to come and prove it. “We have no records of that. It’s just a way of taking money from the government: that’s what they do all the time…”
Speaking to the farmers, they didn’t have much to say but only hope things turn out good for them…

In World War II, soldiers in North Africa were taken ill in ever increasing numbers. They were suffering from abscesses of the lower part of the leg called “tropical ulcers”. These ulcerations left the soldiers unfit to fight and necessitated lengthy hospital confinement, often requiring their removal to more temperate climates. Every possible form of treatment as well as chemical therapy was exhausted without positive results. It was then suggested that these leg ulcers could possibly be connected with the soldiers’ eating habits, as the natives showed no signs of this disease. Rations to the soldiers were then based on a diet free from pork, much like that eaten by the Islamic population. This resulted in the immediate relief of the leg ulcer syndrome. During the lean years of the war and especially those after the war, the health of the population was, practically speaking, good. Few people could
