"The vast majority are decent, hardworking, honest, peace-loving people. But there is a minority for whom this time of the year leads to a buildup of something much darker." Michael reflects on rising tensions ahead of the Twelfth, recent racist incidents, and the responsibility of leaders to challenge division wherever it appears. #NorthernIreland #TheTwelfth #CommunityRelations @dmcbfs | @timcairns

TWO TRACTOR OPERATORS DIED WITHIN TWO YEARS... THE THIRD ONE RAN AWAY There are some experiences in agriculture that never leave your memory. After one cropping season, management gave all staff a break for the festive period. Everyone went home happy, expecting to resume work in the new year. When work resumed, our most experienced tractor operator, Awwal, was nowhere to be found. His phone was not going through. I called my boss and asked after him. He assured me he would find a way to reach him. A few days later, my boss called me. "Ezekiel... Awwal is gone." I was speechless. According to his wife, he had complained of severe stomach pains before passing away days later. The entire farm was thrown into mourning. We contributed money among ourselves, and the head office in Abuja also supported the family for his burial. Life had to continue. A replacement operator was employed, and because the farm had acquired another tractor, two operators were brought in. A few months later, one of them, Ilayi, started complaining of serious stomach pains. At first, I thought it was ulcer. But the pain became worse. I gave him some days off to seek treatment. Two days later, I visited his house only to be told he had been rushed to the General Hospital. When I got there, he was writhing in pain. The doctors carried out tests and scans but couldn't immediately identify the cause. Two days later... Ilayi died. At that moment, I became deeply worried. Two tractor operators. Two deaths. Similar complaints. The same stomach pains. Something didn't feel right. We buried him. The farm owner gave him a befitting burial, placed his three children on scholarship, and supported his wife with money to start a business. To this day, those children are still benefiting from that scholarship. A new operator, Galoma, was later employed. One day, he called me aside. "Manager, some people are not happy this farm is growing." I looked at him in surprise. "Why?" He said some villagers feared that as the farm expanded, they might eventually lose access to land or influence in the area. Whether that fear was justified or not, I honestly don't know. But it made me realize something important: People can misunderstand your intentions, no matter how good they are. As the season progressed, Yahaya—the other operator employed alongside the late Ilayi—suddenly became seriously ill. This time, it wasn't stomach pain. It started with persistent hiccups and health complications. His family quickly took him away for treatment. Thankfully, he recovered. But immediately after recovering, he resigned and never returned to the farm. That was the day I learned one of the biggest lessons of my agricultural career. Before establishing a large-scale farm in any community: (1) Carry the people along. (2) Build trust with the villagers. (3) Engage community leaders. (4( Create opportunities for locals. (5) Maintain good relationships with your host community. (5) Never assume everyone understands your intentions. A farm can have money. A farm can have tractors. A farm can have investors. But without community acceptance, peace of mind can become your most expensive input. Agriculture is not only about crops and livestock. It is also about people. And sometimes, managing relationships is harder than managing a 1,000-hectare farm. May the souls of Awwal and Ilayi continue to rest in peace.

TCN Sensitizes Ogun Communities on Protecting Power Installations and Right of Way The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) Benin Region, conducted a sensitization programme in Ogun State aimed at educating host communities on the importance of protecting transmission infrastructure from vandalism and promptly reporting suspicious activities around power facilities on Friday, 22nd May 2026. During the engagement, TCN also enlightened residents on the dangers of erecting buildings within transmission line Right of Way corridors, emphasizing the consequences such actions pose to both offenders and the power infrastructure. Speaking on behalf of the General Manager, Benin Region, Engr. Charles C. Iwuamadi, Assistant General Manager, Engr. Mathew Ariyibi, explained that the outreach became necessary because transmission lines traverse several rural communities where vandalism and encroachment continue to pose significant threats. According to him, “Patrol teams have discovered cases where tower components were tampered with.” He noted that community members are often the first to observe unusual movements around transmission facilities and urged residents to promptly report such incidents to security agencies or the nearest TCN office. He further stated that TCN is currently collaborating with local vigilantes and community leaders to monitor installations in remote areas, stressing that active community participation remains critical to safeguarding the nation’s power infrastructure. Addressing the issue of Right of Way encroachment, the AGM cautioned residents against constructing buildings or erecting structures within transmission corridors, citing serious safety implications. Also speaking, the Principal Manager, Health, Safety and Environment, Mr. Abaniyo Otaru, described vandalism as the deliberate destruction of public infrastructure vital to national development. He noted that attacks on transmission facilities disrupt electricity supply, weaken economic activities, and create opportunities for criminal activity. “These lines carry up to 330 kilovolts of electricity. Tampering with them endangers lives and destabilizes power supply,” Otaru warned, while calling on community leaders to support efforts to protect transmission installations. Similarly, Engr. Pius Afonriwo described vandalism as a major challenge affecting power transmission across the country and appealed to residents to work closely with security agencies and TCN to safeguard critical infrastructure. “These facilities belong to all Nigerians. Let us work together to protect them,” he said. Responding on behalf of the community, the Moyegesho of Itele Kingdom, Oba Mufutau Kasali, represented by Chief Stephen Pledge, assured TCN of the community’s commitment to protecting transmission installations within the area. He noted that the community understands the critical role transmission infrastructure plays in sustaining electricity supply and supporting national development. The sensitization programme forms part of TCN’s ongoing efforts to curb vandalism, prevent Right of Way encroachment, and strengthen the reliability and stability of bulk power transmission across its network.
