Uses Of Moringa plant and how to use it in Poultry Farming

✔️Moringa plant, also known as the drumstick tree, is a highly nutritious plant that can be used in various ways in poultry farming. Here are some of its uses and how to use it:

✔️Feed supplement: Moringa leaves are rich in essential nutrients, including protein, vitamins, and minerals, that are beneficial to poultry health and productivity. You can dry the leaves and grind them into a powder, which can then be added to your poultry feed to supplement their nutrition.

✔️Immune booster: Moringa leaves contain natural antioxidants, which help boost the immune system of poultry birds, making them more resistant to diseases and infections.

✔️Antibacterial agent: Moringa leaves contain antibacterial compounds that can help prevent and control bacterial infections in poultry. Adding moringa powder to the feed can help reduce the incidence of diseases such as coccidiosis and salmonellosis.

✔️Growth promoter: Moringa leaves also contain growth-promoting compounds, which can help improve the growth rate and weight gain of poultry birds, making them more marketable.

To use moringa in poultry farming, you can follow these steps:

✔️Harvest fresh moringa leaves and wash them thoroughly.

✔️Dry the leaves in the shade until they are dry and crisp.

✔️Grind the dried leaves into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle or a grinder.

✔️Mix the moringa powder into your poultry feed, at a ratio of 2-5% of the total feed, depending on the age and weight of the birds.

✔️Store the moringa powder in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight. #ccto #ctto

The Sroey of Anunnaki and World History

In his 1976 book The Twelfth Planet, Russian-American author Zecharia Sitchin claimed that the Anunnaki were actually a race of extraterrestrial beings from the undiscovered planet Nibiru, who came to Earth around 500,000 years ago in order to mine gold.

According to Sitchin, the Anunnaki genetically engineered homo erectus to create modern humans to work as their slaves. Sitchin claimed that the Anunnaki were forced to leave Earth when Antarctic glaciers melted, causing the Flood of Noah, which also destroyed the Anunnaki’s bases on Earth. These had to be rebuilt and the Nephilim, needing more humans to help in this massive effort, taught them agriculture.

Ronald H. Fritze writes that, according to Sitchin, “the Anunnaki built the pyramids and all the other monumental structures from around the world that ancient astronaut theorists consider so impossible to build without highly advanced technologies.“Sitchin also claimed that the Anunnaki had left behind human-alien hybrids, some of whom may still be alive today, unaware of their alien ancestry. Sitchin expanded on this mythology in later works, including The Stairway to Heaven (1980) and The Wars of Gods and Men (1985). In The End of Days: Armageddon and the Prophecy of the Return (2007), Sitchin predicted that the Anunnaki would return to earth, possibly as soon as 2012, corresponding to the end of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar.

Minister Maru Directs Securities Commission of PNG to Investigate Newmont Corporation for Breach of Agreement

PRESS RELEASE...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 10-12-2024 Port Moresby, December 11, 2024 –

The Minister for International Trade and Investment, Hon. Richard Maru, has expressed grave concerns over Newmont Corporation’s decision to shift its country office to Australia, an action that represents a direct violation of the commitments outlined in the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with Papua New Guinea (PNG). Amongst others, one of the understandings reached on October 9, 2023, was for Newmont’s head office to be based in the country for mutual benefits, foster economic growth, and to uphold national interests.

The agreement obligated Newmont Corporation to prioritize its operational presence in PNG when acquiring Newcrest Interest, which is now being undermined by the closure of its PNG office. The Newmont Corporation have now made redundant its Country Manager in PNG and relocated its head office to Australia. This decision is a fundamental breach of trust and has significant negative implications for PNG’s economy and have violated the intended purpose of the MOA and section 277(6) of the Capital Markets Act 2015 and the National Goals & Directive Principals 3, 5 and of the Constitution.

The MOA emphasized Newmont’s commitment to advancing PNG’s national interests through job creation, tax contributions, and the promotion of local economic opportunities.

By relocating operations, Newmont directly negates these objectives, which were central to the partnership. Furthermore, the agreement included a critical pillar of wealth sharing, intended to ensure that the benefits derived from mining activities would directly uplift PNG’s 11 million citizens. The decision to redirect activities outside PNG erodes this opportunity, jeopardizing the broader economic and social benefits envisioned.

Additionally, the MOA was signed under the oversight of the Securities Commission of PNG, which granted regulatory approvals tied to specific conditions, including compliance with commitments to operate within the country. The move to Australia risks breaching these regulatory conditions, further compounding the situation.

Minister Maru stated, “It is deeply regrettable that Newmont Corporation, having entered into an agreement in good faith, is now disregarding its commitments to Papua New Guinea. Such actions have far-reaching consequences, including significant losses, reduced tax revenue, and the erosion of economic opportunities that were critical to the agreement.

“As a sovereign nation, we cannot and will not allow this breach to go unchallenged. I now direct the Securities Commission of PNG to take decisive action to ensure Newmont Corporation fulfills its obligations. Corporate responsibility is not optional— it is a cornerstone of mutual respect, partnership, and sustainable development and our government will not take it lightly”.

“PNG has always honoured its contracts with its investors since independence despite change of Governments. It is a slap in the face of PNG when we are in the negotiations which will lead to the granting of Special Mining Lease (SML) to Newmont for the Wafi-Golpu Project. Such bad faith at this time is regrettable. The Prime Minister Marape himself in Sydney at PNG Investment Week has repeatedly emphasized that any partnership or understandings with investors must seek win-win benefits to all parties including the State, provincial governments and the landowners. Newmont is not allowed to break its commitment by relocating its office to Australia."

The Securities Commission is immediately directed to work in collaboration with legal experts and other regulatory bodies to investigate and ensure Newmont is in compliance with the MOA.

These measures are vital to safeguarding PNG’s national interests and ensuring that agreements entered in good faith are upheld to the benefit of the country and its people.

RESOURCE LAWS NEED CHANGES: SAYS MARAPE

PNG Bulletin: Thursday December 12, 2024. 

PRIME Minister James Marape told the 2024 PNG Resources and Energy Conference in Sydney that PNG will overhaul mining and petroleum laws and eliminate contract negotiations as part of government reforms.

Mr Marape announced a sweeping reform of the country’s resource sector and introduced a fixed benefit-sharing structure enshrined in law that will come into effect by September 2025.

He said, “This eliminates the current system of negotiated contracts, potentially impacting existing and future projects, and creating both opportunities and challenges for investors.”

And he added that consultations with stakeholders will begin early next year.

“As we stand on the threshold of 50 years of nationhood, I would like to make this my contribution to Papua New Guinea – a new mining and petroleum regime that will be written into the PNG legislation. No more state negotiating team,” he said.

“No more negotiations preceding contract signing. All mining, petroleum and gas companies should be aware of this redirection by now.

“This will be the benefit structure where your take, the national government take, provincial government take, and landowners take will be clearly defined in law. Early next year, the Department of Mining & Petroleum will be led by the Department of Prime Minister & National Executive Council to consult with PNG CORE to make these legislative changes in time for September 2025.

“I would like to make a formal announcement to the country on these changes and new benefit-sharing arrangements on 16 September 2025, our national day.

“It will be a wonderful, fitting gift to our people on their 50 years of Independence anniversary – that from then on, they will automatically be compensated EQUITABLY for their resources,” Mr Marape said.

“We want to review and reform the petroleum and energy regulatory regime, as well as the Mining Act of 1992, which has served us for over 32 years, and reviewed since 2009. Let me give some notes on this.

“There are two schools of thought emerging on the structure of this new, upcoming regime: 1. Outright Production-Sharing and 2.

A hybrid between the current regime and production sharing that has PNG characteristics, where the PNG characteristic will include acknowledging landowners.

“PNG CORE will have to seek views on how this hybrid can be done. How do we pay respects to our landowners so that they participate meaningfully in the resource harvest – whether in royalty, equity, or in business development opportunities?

“Ladies and gentlemen, I have been a part of negotiations with investors for a long time, long enough to realise that we cannot continue to leave mining and petroleum (or any major resource) negotiations that makes up the composition of the Mine Development Contract open to vulnerability – at the hands of a State team, even if that team has the direct oversight of the Prime Minister.

“Our people’s benefits must not only be clearly spelled out, but they must also be grounded into law – in both the Mining Act and the Petroleum Act, or any relevant resource laws."

POLICEMEN ENGAGED AS SECURITY GUARD BY THE MARAPE/ROSSO GOVERNMENT MURDERS A FATHER OF FOUR AT THE GIANT PORGERA GOLD MINE. IN ENGA PROVINCE, PAPUA NEW GUINEA

PART ONE

A 30 year old father of four, Mr. Lakiboy Yanguan Gaupe was shot dead by a uniformed policemen providing armed security service to the giant Porgera Gold Project located in the Enga Province of Papua New Guinea on Saturday 8th of December 2024. Barrick Niugini Ltd (BNL), a subsidiary of Barrick Gold of Canada has been extracting gold from The Porgera Gold Project since 1980. In 2020 the government of Prime Minister James Marape refused to renew BNLs Special Mining Lease (SML1). This decision by the Government was challenged by BNL, which was later settled out of court where the state and BNL agreed to become 50/50 partners and a new JV Company, the NEW PORGERA LTD (NPL) was incorporated and new SML13 granted by the Marape government to itself and its JV Partner, BNL. In the first eight months of its operation in 2024, the Porgera Gold mine has exported 63,000 oz of gold, all of which is airlifted directly to Australia from the minesite. That exceeds total Australian gold output in 2021 and 2022.

Under PNG Mining Law, specific procedural requirement are to be met before any mining company is granted an SML by the state. One such requirement is that a ‘Compensation Package’ to the customary landowners is agreed to after negotiations between the parties in a ‘Development Forum’ between the state, mining company, and the affected customary landowners. Under Porgera 2.0, no such development Forum was ever conducted and definitely no such Compensation package was ever agreed to with the affected customary landowners before the state issued SML13 to NPL, an entity of which 50% is owned by the state.

The murdered father of four, Mr. Lakiboy Yanguan Gaupe is from the WAIWA-LUNDA Tribe, and his mother is from the PULUMANI TRIBE. These are two of the Seven major landowner clans who granted their consent (without knowing what they were consenting to – which I will address in another post) 30 years ago under the original SML1 granted to Placer Dome later taken over by BNL. The Tribal leaders who signed and gave their consent then, for the Waiwa Lunda Tribe was his grandfather, Mr. Yanguan Gaupe, while his grand uncle Mr. Kule Layo signed on behalf of the Pulumani Ambo-Wangia subclan and Pulumani Main Tribes consent was given by Mr. Okoko Pilipolo. All three men were simple villagers who didn’t know how to read/write or even speak the PNG Tokpisin Creole one of the three official languages of commerce etc in Papua New Guinea. Be it as it may be, for the new SML granted to a completely different company, NPL, no such consent has been procured, and definitely no compensation agreement has been negotiated and agreed to by the new generation of Porgera Tribal Leaders.

Given the foregoing, the issues currently highlighted by the death of a innocent father whose land is illegally occupied by a mining company and the state are:

1. Can a Mining company and the state who are extracting gold from Tribal land without having followed mandatory legal requirement claim that tribesmen a trespassers on their own tribal land as the police and mining company officials are initially claiming as their defense?

2. Can the Papua New Guinea Police Force and Military be used by the government and private mining company to provide security for their illegal operations and shoot dead tribesmen who should have freedom of access and movement on their own land?

3. Is the state a regulator of the mining act, and enforcer of the sovereign laws of this country or is it a private investor with ‘personal’ commercial interest in the operations of the Porgera Gold Mine?

4. What are the provisions for how/who will be accountable for the violation of PNG laws, including the environment laws by BNL under the previous SML1 which has never been dealt with prior to the granting of this new SML13

These and  other pertinent issues will be covered in other upcoming posts, including the negative socio-economic and politico chaos affecting the porgera community due to the Porgera Gold Mine.

Vanuatu's climate envoy slams Australia and 'world's largest greenhouse gas emitters' at ICJ

Vanuatu's Special Envoy for Climate and Environment, Ralph Regenvanu,says he is "obviously disappointed" by the Australian government's statement during the International Court of Justice (ICJ) proceedings regarding legal obligations of nations in relation to climate change.

Australia has taken a different view from Vanuatu and other Pacific Island nations.

On Monday, Australia argued that the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreement are the primary sources of international obligations to address greenhouse gas emissions.

Regenvanu said he was disappointed by Australia's position, along with what was shared from the United States, Saudi Arabia, and China.

"These nations, some of the world's largest greenhouse gas emitters, have pointed to existing treaties and commitments that have regrettably failed to motivate substantial reductions in emissions," Regenvanu said in a statement.

"It is particularly concerning that some of these nations, upon whom we depend for aid and support, have not acknowledged the severity of the crisis or their responsibilities under international law.

"Our dependency on their assistance makes it all the more critical for them to act responsibly and in solidarity with vulnerable nations like ours."

He hopes that former colonial powers, France and the United Kingdom, will instead back Vanuatu.

Greenpeace Australia Pacific's general counsel Katrina Bullock said Australia's position "completely undermined its Pacific neighbours".

"It disregards decades of international human rights legal developments and directly contradicts the powerful legal submissions of Pacific, African, and Caribbean nations."

Australia has put in a bid to host COP31 in partnership with the Pacific.

The country, along with United States, is also trying to reassert its influence in the Pacific, as China becomes more involved in the region

The ICJ will decide on two questions: What are the obligations of states under international law to protect the climate and environment from greenhouse gas emissions?

And, what are the legal consequences for states that have caused significant harm to the climate and environment?

Fiji was the last Pacific island nation to give its submission on Wednesday.

The country's Attorney-General Graham Leung said land and resources are becoming increasingly vulnerable.

"Is it just that our people are forced to abandon their ancestral lands and heritage because of the inaction of those most responsible for climate change, is it? How do we protect the future of our people?" Leung asked the court.

He said international law requires states to not cause trans boundary harm and this also applied to greenhouse gas emissions.

"No state has the right to use its territory in a way that causes significant harm to another state."

Vanuatu started the proceedings with Regenvanu who told the ICJ countries conduct are on trial for consistently failing to rein in emissions.

"I must emphasis that since 1990 emissions have increased by over 50 percent reaching an all time high in 2023 last year, more than half of all CO2 emissions since 1750 were emitted after 1990, whatever the timeframe, there is no excuse."

The United Nations climate meeting COP29, which wrapped up last month in Baku, Azerbaijan, was labelled disappointing for the Pacific and developing countries.

Regenvanu said the Baku summit was another example of the process failing.

"The prolonged and systematic failure of the COP has cost them [Vanuatu people] their wellbeing, their cultures and even their lives.

"There is an urgent need for a collective response for climate change grounded not in political convenience but in international law."

The case landed in the ICJ after campaigning from Vanuatu students.

Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change - the group which initiated the campaign - president Cynthia Houniuhi said UN negotiations had been hijacked by major fossil fuel producers.

"As judges of the world court you possess the power to help us course correct and renew hope in humanities ability to address the greatest challenge of our time and you can do this simply by applying international law to the conduct responsible for climate change," Houniuhi from Solomon Islands said.

The Pacific Community's (SPC) director of climate change Coral Pasisi said during an online press conference that legal opinions from the ICJ can serve as a catalyst for international law's being developed to correct injustices.

"We know that a legal opinion is not legally binding but we do know a legal opinion from the International Court of Justice has a very strong moral weighting."

The political change in late December 2022 was historical for the country in terms of social and political development, changes, and leadership, generating many other changes in direction, policies, and strategies in many organisations and institutions.

Changes also occurred at the ITaukei Land Trust Board, and in the face of increasing poverty and low participation in commerce by iTaukei, the Board of Trustees endorsed lowering its operating poundage to 8% from 10% and set aside 10% as the iTaukei Wealth Fund.

Through the iTaukei Development Fund, three landowning units and companies and cooperatives received equipment worth $1.6 million in a handing-over ceremony officiated by Prime Minister Hon. Sitiveni Ligamamada Rabuka today in Suva.

Addressing the recipients, guests, and Government ministers, Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka stated that the TLTB has taken bold steps to implement initiatives addressing landowners' need for capital or access to capital.

“To the three landowning units, companies, and cooperatives who are beneficiaries in this facility today, Government is looking forward to seeing that your businesses thrive and contribute economically to the nation with tangible social impacts to your well-being and your welfare. The business must grow strong and sustainable; you must change the game, ensuring governance is played well and transformed," said the Prime Minister.

The iTaukei businesses that received equipment today include:

1. Infinity Pacific PTE Limited from Tokotoko Nasautoro, Korovuto, Nadi, which received assistance of $193,900 for the purchase of two vehicles.

2. Nativi Cooperative from Nativi Village in Saivou, Ra, which is leasing a total area of 119 acres for cane farming. They received a total of $62,000, with $59,000 allocated for the purchase of a new tractor and $3,000 designated as working capital.

3. The Dreketi Mahogany Landowners Cooperative from the province of Macuata, consisting of 10 landowning units that will harvest and cart Mahogany logs from their land, has been granted a total of $1.3 million to purchase a 10-wheeler truck, a loader, and an excavator.

4. Additionally, Tui Labasa Ratu Jone Qomate, who has 115 acres of sugarcane farm, received assistance for a tractor valued at $47,000.
