Sebenzisa idatha eNigeria ukunciphisa ubundlobongela kunye nokwakha ukhuseleko lokutya

That won’t be easy: Kwintliziyo yengxaki kukho ukungqubana kwengxabano kwezixhobo, as nomads from the north increasingly move south into Nigeria’s fertile Ibhele eliphakathi, kudala ingxwabangxwaba phakathi kwabalimi abatyala ingqolowa, iziqhamo kunye nemifuno apho kunye nomhlambi weenkomo zikhangela umhlaba wedlelo leenkomo zabo.

UMbhele oBanzi ulikhaya lamanye amafama achumileyo eAfrika, kodwa siyasilela ukuqonda amandla ayo apheleleyo ngenxa yezizathu ezininzi, kubandakanya isiseko esingonelanga, ukungabikho kwemali, kunye neenkqubo zemveliso esele zingene kule nkulungwane yama-21.

Eyona nto imbi kakhulu, kunjalo, lugonyamelo oluzayo xa amandla angenakuthintelwa ahlangana nento engenakushukumi.

Amandla angenakuphikiswa enziwa Dubula abelusi. Ubusika ngabunye, ngexesha lokoma, bayayishiya Sahel Ingingqi yeAfrika ukukhangela amadlelo amatsha. They bring their cattle into Nigeria’s agricultural zones. That’s where they meet the immovable object of Nigerian farmers.

Ukungqubana akunakugwenywa.

Abantu abaninzi ngaphandle kweNigeria bayitolikela imbambano ebanzi njengeyenkolo. AmaFulani angamaSilamsi kwaye uninzi lwabalimi kule nxalenye yaseNigeria ngamaKristu. While it’s true that the fighting can take on religious dimensions-we’ve witnessed radical Islamic groups such as Boko Haram ukugrogrisa amaKristu-ihla inyani kwingxabano malunga nokufikelela kubutyebi bomhlaba obunqongophele.

Utshintsho lwemozulu luye lwenza mandundu ngakumbi. Kungenxa yokuba ingca ye-Sahel ijika ibharhile, AbakwaFulani baqhuba iinkomo zabo ukuya emazantsi kwaye bahlala ixesha elide kunangaphambili.

Kwaye eyona nto inzulu kubo bonke kunokuba yindlala, abantu abakumhlaba ophuhlileyo bahlala besilela ukusiqonda. Bayazibuza ukuba kutheni na umntu esiya kulwa nokufa ngenxa yokufikelela kumachibi eentlanzi, nto leyo isisiqhelo esenzeka kumzabalazo ophakathi kwabalimi kunye nabelusi. The truth is that the rich don’t want to die-but the poor have nothing to live for, and they’re more willing to risk or even lose their lives.

Nokuba yeyiphi na imithombo yesi sifo, AmaNigeria kufuneka afumane iindlela zokuyinqanda. We can’t achieve genuine food security unless we reduce the violence.

That’s why I worked with a partner to create and launched last year, Isisombululo 4.0, itanki yokucinga kwaye ngoku, isixhobo sefowuni esijolise ekugcineni amafama akhuselekile. Isisombululo 4.0 kuthetha ukusonjululwa kwembambano kusetyenziswa izixhobo ezinxulumene notshintsho lwedijithali, ihlala ichazwa njengohlaziyo lwesine lwexesha lezemizi-mveliso, ukulandela uguquko lwomphunga, umbane, kunye nee-elektroniki. Eyona nto kugxilwe kuyo Resolute 4.0 kukuqokelela idatha kwaye usebenzise olo lwazi ukudibanisa isisombululo esisekwe kwidatha kwimicimbi ethile.

Namhlanje, the app’s main feature is a panic button. Xa amafama eziva esongelwa, bayayityhala. Oku kukwazisa amapolisa endawo kunye nomkhosi, onokutsiba esenzweni. Ibongoza izibhedlele ukuba zilungiselele abantu abonzakeleyo.

Uhlelo lokusebenza lwenza ingxelo egciniweyo yezehlo, okuya kunceda imikhosi yezokhuseleko ukuba ibe nokuqonda okungcono kwamandla eengxabano. Oku kuyakuxhasa ukwenza izigqibo ezingcono ezisekwe kwidatha njengokufumana indawo zokujonga, where are the main ‘conflict corridors’, Inani lamadoda eliya kuthunyelwa.

Ngexesha, Iapp iya kusebenza njengesixhobo sokuphuhlisa uqoqosho lwasekhaya. Unedatha kuyo yonke into ukusuka kwiimephu zeefama ukuya kwiindlela zamadlelo, we’ll build a body of information that will help us shift from a period of conflict to a period of conflict resolution. Njengokuba, Ukwenza kube lula ukuba amafama akhusele imigaqo-nkqubo yeinshurensi. They’re a standard feature of agriculture in the developing world, kodwa kunqabile eNigeria-kwaye babe ngabalimi abangcono, sifuna imarike eyomeleleyo ye-inshurensi.

As we’ve released Resolute 4.0, we’ve hardly wiped out the violence-but I’m convinced that we’ve saved lives.

Inqanaba elilandelayo kukubeka i-app ezandleni ezininzi ngangokunokwenzeka.

Ukulima yonke indawo kubandakanya umngcipheko, ukusuka ekungaqiniseki kwemozulu ukuya ekubeni sisongelo sokhula kunye nezitshabalalisi. But you shouldn’t have to risk your life to grow crops. Ngokusetyenziswa kweetekhnoloji ezintsha, singenza ukuba ukulima kukhuseleke kancinane kwaye ukhuseleko lokutya lube yinjongo efikelelekayo.
