Agric Ministry Discovers Nkoko Nkitinkiti Programme Produced Soup Instead of Jobs

ACCRA—The Agric Ministry has discovered that the Nkoko Nkitinkiti Programme has produced soup instead of jobs, after chickens distributed to aspiring poultry entrepreneurs began completing the farm-to-table journey before establishing the farm.

Under the initiative, beneficiaries were expected to turn 50 chicks, feed support and technical guidance into sustainable businesses. Instead, some birds reportedly appeared in cooking videos, fully liquidated with pepper and onions before submitting their first quarterly progress report. Officials are now reviewing whether chicken light soup qualifies as a microenterprise, particularly where the owner sold none and invited three cousins.

A revised training manual will require beneficiaries to separate company assets from Sunday lunch and resist evaluating directors by tenderness. Each chick will receive a name tag reading “Investment, Not Dinner,” while extension officers count poultry before and after every family gathering. Birds showing signs of becoming stew may be transferred to commercial farms for protective custody. The programme still targets seven million birds in 2026, although planners have introduced a second forecast showing how many may survive long enough to create employment.

This is satire. The source story is real; the conclusions have been faithfully misinterpreted.
