My desire is pepper and perhaps Okra

Be sure to stay away from Ogun-Osun river banks because of annual flooding. If you can, take a trip down to Igan-gan after Mokoloki to enquire for land close to a stream (not the river).

I will appreciate if you can give me a link. Though, l live at Ofada and always hear Mokoloki but l have not been to the place.

Mokoloki is very popular, it's along papa road, you may go through Omu junction or via Mosadomi, you might want to use bike because of the poor state of the road.
If you live in ofada, it might be a good idea to get a motorcycle of your own if you're thinking of farming around Moko because daily bike should be around 1k to and fro.

As for the popular OgunOsun Farm settlement which is rented to the general public at 20k/hectare/year, there's river there that you can make use of and this will save you the stress of traveling farther inside Moko, while it is true that the OgunOsun land has been over used and will definitely not be good for doing pepper, there are some lands around OgunOsun that belong to private families that have not been overused, the only thing is the lands are not tractorable like OgunOsun, but they'll be good for pepper and okra.

Another thing you can do if you live in Ofada is to meet land agents or Omoonile's, there are some landed properties in acres all around that are fenced that you can rent on yearly bases, while these properties may not have boreholes, people leaving around those properties usually have boreholes, you can talk to them if they'll allow you pump water and pay.

Sir, about transplanting;
You transplant 3 days after germination.
At that time cucumber seedlings are still very young and do not have any true leaf yet.

So, I suppose that is only practicable with drip irrigation system which ensures steady and light supply of water after transplanting, right?

The question: I'm not using drip irrigation yet it's manual watering. Can I nurse my seedlings until when they have 1-2 true leaves before transplanting?
Does staying that long on seed tray affect plants?

There use to be a Mokoloki agent here but he died last year.

Mokoloki is a very good place.. Been there to get a land before... It's close to the Dam.

And very safe as well

once your cucumber has two leaf successfully it is ready for transplanting. It is not good enough to leave the seedlings to have 3-4 leaf before you transplant.

You sprayed a concentrated mixture of chemical.
Don't worry it will heal up.
But avoid that next time

If you sprayed under hot sun even with moderate dose, it can burn the leaves.
