Hello Famz, I'm Maryam simply put,i ventured into farming last year together with my lovely husband ( not a nairalander)And guess what! The output was MASSIVE.This year hubby says bae, I'm not farming this year, I want to rest,I said what, rest kwa?
Me that haven't bought beans, maize or yam getting to a year for ( domestic use)Kolewerk;I encouraged him to contract it at any point strength fails and Alhamdulilah we acquired more hectares with just 5k,yes you hear me right.Leasing or renting of land for agricultural purpose is cheap here.This year we will be cultivating: Maize, Okra, Ground Nut, Beans at interval.My Yam is currently sprouting on my Mini Garden at home. I don't buy spinach,Ewedu,Ugwu, Bitter Leaf, Saint Leave,Curry leaves during raining season because,I have them at my backyard.
So Enjoy!! And ask questions where necessary.

Ok.

Viewers discretion:My farm borders Zuma Rock, please if you have any natural phobia for Rocks or Stone stay off the thread for your sanity please.Below is my Yam and Okra sprouting,at different locations.I will be planting Maize Next week, InshaAllah.

I don't understand what you mean by fulani landlord sir, please explain.The security here is tight o,a quarry is close by where mining activities are carried out by Zerberce or so, you know how govt dey protect oyibo people na.Plus Soldiers are living at the toll gate 24/7 and that's the viscinity surrounding our farm.

Your farm is well protected than most Nigerians.

enjoy yourself. It takes only two to tango. If i were married or in a relationship, my babe and I would have ventured into this. Sadly, I have a job that is very tasking.

We're just lucky sir,we move here about a year ago and I was thinking,how will I be able to cope but, coming here has opened up the doors to so many opportunities for me, and I'm eternally grateful.You know Zuma Rock is a National Treasure,Govt don't joke with it.and this quarry work can take years because the minerals they're mining are surplus here.
My water yam below,we have stake's already from the previous year.We actually did mulching for the Yam, reason why it's germinating early.

Oh! Two people that understand their differences and are willing to strive against all odds.I wish you a loving and understanding partner that will share the same views with you, and you both will constitute a striking pair.God bless you sir,

We are actually into subsistence farming for now, imagine saving 70percent of the money you would have used on food for a year,why you no go build within that same year if you're earning reasonably.The bulk of our salaries as Nigerians'go into Food and rent.Thank God I now know better!!!

If you're in Abuja or it's environ, they're still leasing at the moment, farming activities are just starting here.We even have to reject some offer, because the hectars we have presently is enough for us, since we're not going into commercial agriculture.God bless you sir,

How do I get access to one or two hectares? Who do we meet for the leasing?

Call the number on my signature,I live in Efab City Estate Dakwa using Dei-Dei land mass enrout Zuba.I Will connect you with the landlord's kowai.Treat as urgent if you're really interested, farming activities has kickstart.

Dear Diary, soft reminder. I will be planting my maize before this weekend.Reason for the delay is simple.We don't want our own to reach maturity first, else passer-by go plug am chop finish.They don't take permission here,na who them catch naim be thief.Our neighbouring farms are sprouting already. I will post my planting picture in due time.God is wonderful,E pain me say I no open this diary last year wallahi,una for chop fresh maize, groundnut,Etc as e dey hot!!!!!

staga:

You will meet the landlord's on the farm very early in the morning because they're not mobile.It won't take you an hour if you meet them on the spot.Wait after Sallah,prefferably Wednesday or Thursday downward.No one will go to the farm this festive season o.

And so, we decided to plant our maize today.We experienced heavy rainfall yesternight.

We will be planting throughout this week, When we are done with an hectars we move to another one.All in the same location but different places There's a particular virgin land I'm eyeing at the moment adjacent my house.The bad side about living in an Estate is the not too good memoranda, estate has so much does and don't,God help us,we must move to our property this year InshaAllah.
How on Earth can you give a no farming instructions in an Estate bordered by thousands of hectars of virgin land's, even chasing the previous farmer's from there land's, and you're not using it.This particular land if well cultivated using mechanize farming techniques can feed the citizens of a State (not an exxageration) They did it last year to some farmers but this year people don gather mind.
This land I'm eyeing,I will plant groundnut on it and damn the consequences,after all groundnut is a cover crop.They Don't want to see tall plants like maize,sorgum and millet,to them it serves as hideout for bad boys and makes the place unattractive,,I beg who beautiful neighborhood help . Living in an Estate in Nigeria,so overrated.We move......

This is great. Thank you for the detailed information on your farm activities. keep it coming. We are very much interested and following. I am into maize, groundnut, yam and beans farming. I am also interested in the land lease.

.... It's not because of beautiful environment, na for SECURITY REASONS. If na for the sake of " the bad boys" you mentioned, those ones can be curtailed but na for the sake of those "group of men" wey dey cause terror and pain around.

I told you guys my farm bothers some natural artefacts e.g the Zuma Rock right.I will show you the backside of Zuma Rock. I know some of you haven't seen it's picture from the back before also the mining site is included.Enjoy This Rock is a world heritage site, people come here from accros the world for tourism.Nollywood proffesionals sometimes do come for filming activities as well.The twin Rock is used for hiking by youths and children.
