I don't think I have Mydaz cucumber seeds anymore but I will check. If available, I will alert you here.
You should a variety in mind. I have programs schedule for Mydaz RZ F1 and there is a crop guide from east west for cucumbers too.

The schedule for each variety is different but similar. Mydaz F1 produces average of 20 fruits per plant and can't be compared to other varieties with less than 10 fruits averagely. The fertlization /spray program will definitely be different.

wow at twenty fruits per plant. Would surely like to receive the blessing from you.

emmaachile2:
You should try and get a comprehensive guide. Which variety are you planting?

haven't decided yet, the land is still under cassava, would want a small sachet of seeds to try out.

aquadude15:
I use laraforce gold as insecticide.
I use any systemic herbicide

what about fungicide? how often did you spray fungicide and insecticide?

aquadude15:
o bought a roll of hose, I think it cost about 17k then

What insecticides and herbicides did you use and how often did you spray?

Canada straight, no need thinking twice about it.

This country is hopeless in all remifications, no wonder medical doctors are trooping out of the country.

if you've been paying and begging for sex, pls continue...........

........majority of men do, infact all men do.....from paying of dowry to surrendering your ice-cream and lunch


all these our yeyebrities that are posing with Range, Gwagon and going on super expensive vacations............where do you think they get it from


Most of you shouting redpill, bluepill, yellowpill, orangepill would do worse than our politicians, pastors and other money miss road mofos who have made our women to become entitled brats............demanding what their lineage couldn't offer them


y'all makin noise and rattling because you've been outgunned by fraudsters, ritualists, political scammers and privileged mofos..............it can even be argued that a huge chunk of men's income legal n illegal (a significant chunk of our GDP) goes into servicing and maintaining the posh life of their numerous aristos, concubines, side-chics, undercover pros, one-night stands and escorts.

***women weaponized and sold sex before the foundation of the world.......so brace up cos it aint stopping anytime soon***

talk about yourself not me, i have had my simp and not a simp moments but no woman can use sex as a weapon against me today. I have shocked and continue to shock those ladies that think their beauty elevates them to demigods.

Lorver Angbir, a 48-year-old farmer from Tse-Nyamsho village in Keana Local Government Area, Nasarawa State has gone into hiding following the threat to his life by a herdsman who had impregnated his wife. Angbir said his sin was that both his wife, Mwuese, and the baby she had from the pregnancy died during labour and the herdsman, who he identified as Alhaji Abu, concluded that he (Angbir) was responsible for the death of Mwuese and the newborn baby because he was not happy that she was impregnated by another man.

××
Speaking from hiding in an interview with our correspondent, Angbir said he regretted the day he met Mwuese with whom he was married for eight years before she was taken over by another man in a manner he considered humiliating while Mwuese appeared to enjoy every bit of the ugly development.

Angbir, who has since taken refuge in another village, said: “My wife slept with a Fulani man with whom we had lived as brothers in the same village for years. She got pregnant for him and told me to my face that he was responsible for her pregnancy.

“It shocked me when, from nowhere, Alhaji Abu started coming into my wife’s room and ordered me out of the house.

“He said I should look for somewhere else to sleep because he had taken over my wife, threatening to slaughter me like a ram if I dared raise any alarm over the matter.

“He was always coming with a gun and other weapons.

“Right in my house and on top of my bed almost every night, he would come and sleep with my wife. And, to my surprise, she seemed not to have any issue with it.

“This ugly development continued for almost one year before she took in.

“We were married for about eight years and I loved her very well.

“I suspect that he used a charm on my wife, because he took over my wife completely, giving things to her while my wife too was taking food to him right in my presence.

“I kept quiet because he threatened to eliminate me if I did anything funny.”

Angbir recalled how he had spent the entire income from his farm about eight years ago to marry Mwuese, saying: “We had lived happily together without any issue. l loved her so much that because of the bad terrain of our area, I did not want her to suffer, so I engaged her with selling provisions while I went to the farm alone.

“Then from nowhere, Alhaji started sleeping with her. Within a short time, he completely took over my wife from me, sleeping with her in my own room and threatening to kill me if I raised any alarm.

“This continued until my wife became pregnant. I have not been able to have sex with my wife since their illicit affair began.

“When she was about to be delivered of a baby and she died in the process, Alhaji Abu felt I deliberately killed her so that she would not deliver the baby. So he vowed to slaughter me like a ram once he set his eyes on me. That is why I had to run for my dear life.

“This was in May, and up till now, I have not gone to my village.

“If not for some Fulani herdsmen who stood by me in the village, I would be dead by now.”

Angbir is now forced to live like a fugitive who cannot visit his community for fear of being killed by Alhaji Abu, who he said has vowed to eliminate him.

He is also a victim of emotional and psychological trauma which he said he has suffered from his wife’s alleged infidelity and betrayal while they were still married.

The couple was living together at Tse-nyamsho, a community in Keana Local Government Area, Nasarawa State.

Angbir, it was learnt, is a full time farmer who loved his now estranged wife so much that he raised some money for her to start selling provisions in the village and did not bother her with farm work.

Six years after their marriage, however, he began to notice that the 51-year-old herdsman was in an affair with his wife.

According to one of Angbir’s relations, who identified himself simply as Mr Agba, his bid for financial stability, which often took him away from home to the farm from early morning to the late hours, leaving his wife behind created the crack in his marriage.

The following conversation ensued between Angbir and our correspondent from the former’s hideout in a community in the suburb of Lafia, Nasarawa State capital:

What is your name?

My name is Lorver Angbir from Tse-nyamsho village in Keana Local Government Area of Nasarawa State.

Why are you here when it is farming season and you are supposed to be in your village?

We live among the Fulani in my area. For so many years, we had lived among them without any issue until the last two years when a close friend, Alhaji Abu came to my house at about 11:30 pm one night and asked me to look for somewhere else to sleep as he was going to pass the night with my wife. It sound strange to me and I asked him why. He said he had taken over my wife and that if I refused or tell anyone about it, he would kill me. He brought out a short gun and warned me again not to disclose it to anyone.


That was how the man took over my wife and kept threatening to kill me he heard it from anybody. He also warned me never to sleep with my wife again or demand sex from her even in the nights he did not come.

Surprisingly, one fateful night when Abu did not come, I tried to make advances to her but she bluntly refused to allow me sleep with her and even threatened to tell Alhaji Abu about it. I was very shocked. She told me to my face that Abu had taken over, and that henceforth, she could cook for me and perform other house chores as a wife, but sex was ruled out. Soon, she became pregnant and so many people thought I was responsible for it, but Alhaji Abu told me to my face that the unborn baby belonged to him and that if anything happened to the pregnancy, he would hold me responsible. I was not comfortable with what was happening, so I tried to complain to her parents. But Alhaji Abu bought them over and there was little they could do, so I resigned to fate and allowed the sleeping dog to lie. I concentrated on my farm work while Abu took charge of my wife. He would give her money, chickens and other gifts.

We live in a remote area where there is no clinic nearby. So when she went into labour, my younger sisters were there with her in the village while Alhaji Abu also sent two of his daughters and his first wife to be with her. She was in labour for a whole day and when she couldn’t deliver, Alhaji Abu arranged a motorcycle to take her to Gizer, the nearest clinic. In the process she delivered a baby boy who came out dead. Two hours later, she also died.



When this happened, Abu suspected that I had a hand in the death of the woman, and I ask how. One week after this incident, I was fast asleep in the night when he came to my house and threatened to kill me with a gun. It took the intervention of some Fulani herdsmen around to save my life. I ran out of the area because he is serious about eliminating me as he accused me of being behind the death of my wife who was carrying his baby. I am hiding here for safety.

It is farming season, but I cannot go back to my area because the man is threatening my life that I was behind the death of my wife whereas I don’t know anything about it.

What about your relatives?

My younger ones are still there in the area. In fact, they arranged for the burial in my absence. Alhaji Abu said he had no business or issue with my family members except me. He believes that I deliberately killed my wife because she was carrying his baby. All my explanation has fallen on deaf ear.

Have you reported the matter to the police?

I am afraid my family members may be put to danger if I report the matter or the threat to my life to the police and an arrest is made. That is my challenge.

But did you actually kill your wife or do anything to her during her labour?

My brother, how would I do that? I was actually pained that somebody took over my lovely wife who I suffered to marry, but I can’t take her life because she betrayed me. She might have died because of complications from the long labour she underwent. To say I killed her, it is not true. I didn’t do anything to her. She died naturally.

Do you know that my in-laws too believe that I must have killed her because they are not happy with me? But God knows I didn’t do anything to her, and my conscience is clear.

What's your source?

The Nigerian intelligence services are trying very hard to alienate IPOB from the masses through false propaganda of sit at home orders etc. But they have failed even before they started.

if i tell my stories with girls eh, most of you wouldn't believe it. My prayer is for God to give me a worthy wife because i have seen a few. The majority of girls out there are not just worth it for a wife.

FreeStuffsNG:
"Sen. Bob Menendez, the chairperson of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, called for a “fundamental rethink of the framework of our overall engagement” with Nigeria during a Senate hearing with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken in June.

Both Menendez and Sen. Jim Risch, the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, have placed a hold on the proposed arms sale, according to multiple U.S. officials and congressional aides familiar with the matter, who spoke to Foreign Policy on condition of anonymity."



I completely agree with you that you are unteachable sir and you know more than me.
Just by appeal, I need you to to read it again and point where you saw it as a new contract.

The committee head met with Blinken in June and the Tuscano jets delivered to Nigeria in July. That's to tell you that the issue is no longer about fulfilling the contract obligation sir.

you're wrong, the weapons blocked were listed on the news report and the Super Tucano aircrafts were not among, go back and reread the article.

Ofadaman:
The lecturers are the way they are because , the students are the way they are .

If majority of the student behave like secondary school kids, lecturers will begin to behave like secondary school teachers.

The students set the precedents because they have the numbers.
I recall in my school days, I had gone to submit a paper and the lecturer asked me to go wash his food plate and buy him food from the store, and Ideclined humbly telling him I have library sessions, he broke into a feat of rage, I held my ground letting him know that his own son is in the UK studying for a degree not washing plates of lecturers .

sense de your talk but it's easy and common for lecturers to victimise students over such actions.

okoroemeka:
cars are now built to survive the warranty period after that you are on your own,take for instance the case of the Mitsubishi buses and cars,it is an example of classic planned obsolescence,they use metal that is designed to fail after some years in their piston and rings and don't tell me Mitsubishi don't know anything about metallurgy,they build aircrafts,space crafts,ships,trains,etc.they know what they are doing,why build a car that will last for 50 yrs when you can tweak it to fall apart in 5 years and increase sales.

i read somewhere where Volvo explained that the reason for their low sales then was because those who bought their 240GL were still making use of it even after decades later. Car companies seems to be avoiding that scenario buy building disposal cars.

okoroemeka:
my brother I will not lie,I will drive the latest ride if given the opportunity,but what I am saying is not that I hate modern cars but the fact that the accountant has replaced engineers and designers in many car companies is evident in the type of aggressive cost cutting they now use in manufacturing cars, plastics are used every were even in components that are exposed to high stress and heat,cars are now loaded with tons of electrical gizmos that most the driver will not need,I predict that when this current cars start breaking down,it will be the peak and car companies will backtrack to common sense technology,take for example the rain sensitive wiper,if rain drops on the windscreen the wiper will activate,why?is the driver blind he can't see the rain or armless he can't switch it on,such technology will be loaded with computer modules and micro devices,relays,fuses,all of these are problems waiting to develop

these companies don't really care about the second hand car market where these problems are common place.

Raalsalghul:
The bold doesn't give you the right to misbehave and go around procreating like a foolish person.

Will it cost you too much to apply common sense?

Please, stick to the topic.Thank you.

Gerrard59:
And that to me is the issue. Why should someone, seemingly mentally normal, aspire to have four children in present day Nigeria?

What for?

please, can you stick to the topic? thank you.

Kudos to Nnamdi Kanu for exposing the Fulanis, i'm still not convinced that Adeboye would say that, the guy have a vocal voice against GEJ but have lose it since Osinbajo became the vice-president. Deceivers everywhere.

AloneTK:
It’s relative.
There’s the environment to consider, right diet, standard shelter and quality schools as well.
What works for someone on this thread might not work for you.
You are the one to weigh your options, considering the times we live in.

It’s non of my business though, but I think if you really want the best for those kids, try not to have up to 4.

My apologies to those who already have that number of kids.
Unless a parent is heartless, I’m not sure anyone would want to have the number of kids that he might not be able to cater for.

Gerrard59:
Initially, I thought OP has four children. However, upon reading ensuing comments, it's apparent that he intends to procreate four children notwithstanding Nigeria's present conditions. Highly pitiable and pathetic.

Anyone in Nigeria who intentionally gives birth to more than three children (this is even up for debate) admist the country's conditions is mentally impaired, no ifs or buts.

The thread asked how much to take care of a family of four and you left the question to start answering how many children should i have, make una check una selves o especially with the way you use words like mentally impaired or wicked.

GboyegaD:
We know the issues and we can choose to build an ideology/identity and change our name. Nobody will do for us that which we can do by ourselves.

I think it was lord Lugard that said that northern and southern Nigeria would never miss together just like oil and water, therefore, i don't have any hope of this country getting better except we go our different ways.

ThaThinka:
So, sir, everyone with a family of that size make up to N200,000 monthly?

at least that amount to live decently except you are able to cut expenses like living in the family house, your are a teacher and some of your children are therefore entitled to scholarships, you have a farm etc.

GboyegaD:
Whose fault is it that we do not vote rightly? Whose fault is it that we, even the learned, fester on ethnic and religious bigotry? All those things are attainable when we do right.

what we are suffering in this country today was the same fate suffered by our fathers, the problem of this country is structural, in the words of Awolowo " There is no true Nigerian just as we have a French or italian... Nigeria is a mere geographical expression created by the British for their own diabolical (evil) intentions.", therefore, i dare to say that Nigeria have never worked, Nigeria is not working and Nigeria would never work.

GboyegaD:
If this is true, it means we prefer quantity to quality.

na condition make crayfish bend, Nigerians are only responding to envirommental stimulus, good governance, effective and affordable healthcare, social and physical security and universal old age care would push the fertility rates down.

ednut1:
4 kids in this economy

don't expect the birthrate to go below 3-4 kids, Nigeria is a high birthrate, high deathrate society so people have many children to increase their odds of having children that reach adulthood.

GboyegaD:
N200k minimum breakdown as follows:

N40k monthly for rent (3BR in remote part of Lagos),
N40k monthly towards school fees,
N16k monthly (N200/child/20 school days for breaktime snacks),
N90k monthly (N3000*30days) for feeding,
N14k monthly for miscellaneous.

Note this isn't including transportation because I don't have an idea how best to quantify that.

Nice, this is what got too. I hope this thread makes the FrontPage, it's way more useful than some of the threads there.

psucc:
If you're talking about monthly expenses, take away clothing, school fees and rent.

I tell you, those saying N40k may not have that family size and are not talking from experience. It all depends on the area you live. And if you have a little garden. If not, your wife must be a super Manager to do with N40K/month i.e. 40,000÷30days N1,300per day.

why take away clothing, school fees and rent? what's your budget for those in your area?

frozen70:
.

Try 50k,cooperate and love madam she will add more of her own
If you trouble her she will trigger the allowance more

madam and oga are a tight team and 50k is hardly enough to cover school fees and house rent for a three bedroom flat with running water. How much would likely be the total monthly expenses for such a family?

busola500:
As Nigeria Is it now let me say 40k will be manageable for them

including school fees, house rent and feeding? you need about 40k a month for school fees and supplies for four children assuming they attend schools that charge 30k or less per term.

What do you think is the bare minimum amount needed by a family of six (The two parents and four children) for monthly sustenance in your part of Nigeria, taking into cognisanze school fees, house rent, feeding, utilities etc.

Drawmonk:
