The whistle had been blown and the race is on, between monalisa and cu 999 we will know which one that will cancel the other,in every contest there must be a winner,we used a standard measure bowl that dispenses 1 kg of pig manure per hole so all the crops will have equal ration of nutrients ,all the crops are planted on may 2,so we will know which one will flower,fruit and mature first.we planted 500 monalisa and 1200 cu 999,but we pegged off a portion that has 500 cu for the test.

pls I will like to know if the manure and nematicide were applied together and how many days was the nematicide left on the soil before planting the seed

Thanks, labour over there is cheap I tell you as a plot of land here for clearing is around 3 to 4000 in Abeokuta Ogun state.

Thanks OP for the great work you are doing but pls can you give us the cost estimate to this point and those processes that were carried out to this point including the time interval. I still wonder how you can get you plot to be so clean without chemical. Thanks

[quote author=NextDayPP post=71607072]I used a 5 litter paint bucket per plot. I applied urea after 4-5 weeks. My method of application is by mixing with water, urea desolves quickly in water. For this method you must know how many stands you have, that should not be too hard with uniform rolls. Get a plastic cup of about half a liter. If you have a thousand stands for example, you will need to mix a paint bucket of urea with 500 liters. You don't have to look for a large 500 liters container, get a 50 or 25 litters keg, if it's 50 liters it means you have to divide your urea into 10 equal parts, adding one or two liters to cater for spillage should be considered.. Remember to stir very well. Pour directly to the base of the plants, it will not harm them when mixed with water.

Remember that I had chicken waste in the soil before I planted. Assuming I didn't have that at the beginning, this is how my fertilizer application should have been, taking into consideration the land minerals had been exhausted before maize planting.

3-4 buckets of NPK buried in ground the way you bury your maize. ( Don't put NPK and maize in the same hole, about 2 inches apart) plus the soil most be moist to help the NPK desolves quickly. This is done at planting or after 2 weeks, but I prefer planting day. Then apply urea at 4-5 weeks as stated above.

Now if you clear a bush that you feel is rich in nutrients, but not sure if it can be enough for close to 3 months that the maize needs it for, you can just bypass the application of NPK and only put urea at 4-5 weeks and you will be good, but you might want to increase urea to 1-1/2 per plot. Any other person can put in their contribution



Thanks op for sharing your valuable experience. I will like you to clear things for me in this your write up

* Are you saying that no matter the plant population on the field you use one paint of fertilizer and the only varying quantity is the water for one plot

* I saw that on you farm you planted 4 stand of maize on a spot, if am to apply 1/2 a liter of the fertilizer mixture on a spot; will I apply 4 cups to go with your calculation of 1/2 liter per stand of maize or I will just apply only once. Thanks

Someone should explain how it works

In a nutshell what they do is to sell to you units in their franchise they have with companies. It can be in transportation, communication, Dangote, Otedola and Dantata among others. Then when I joined, the smallest unit can be as low as 75k but you can invest higher if you like.

After your investment/s you will wait a period of 35 working days or 40 as different packages have different gates. A ROI will be paid to you after the period gate depending on your package; this will be done for 10 payment after which your investment/s will be deactivated and your initial capital minus administrative charge return to you after 1mth. You can call or visit there office at Isale gbeyin Abeokuta, the office is beside Zenith bank.

Please,do you have any idea of the (nifa) system upgrade and when it will end?

Are you sure this issue will be resolved. only God can tell what will happen next as all the information from bei does not indicate where they are going, all they do is to bring out one rule or the other, shift goal post at the middle of the match, make people path with more funds without payment of ROI but the most annoying part is that they do this with much rudeness as ever to the investor. so since we tell ourselves the truth on this platform, I will like to be investors to look before taking a leap.

Op, I can feel your pain! What can we do! They've the number without sense though but it's all about number!

yes my bro that's the major problem. The difference between north and south is just the number and believe, should we now decide we want to dictate power and loss our sense of reasoning by

Increase our population by giving birth like those in the north

Subject our children to poverty and destroy their future for the sake of power

Decide to live in poverty in other to show the north we can play in the power game.

Have power or decide power and live in constant fear caused by population without much opportunities.

The North have chosen we have to choose ours. Its all about choice.

This not a case of support for APC because I know some of the accusations against the government are true to a certain degree but I found it so weared that Obasanjo can easily support him after all he said then something's must be on the table

you want him to start saying things like 1litre=40naira abi

don't be fooled again bro because this time it will be a shame on you; no Northern can go on with restructuring. I Will rather go with the status co than go along with a kleptomaniac. pls the future needs your support, don't slaughter it on the platform of hatred.

maestroferdi:
So you still have the effrontery to talk?

You are supporting Buhari who has failed in all performance indicators just because as a Yoruba Muslim, you think you would have no future if the cluelessness personified is rightly booted out....

You need a sober reflection about your life...jokes apart...

you are the one that actually needs sober reflection and really think about your life and what you will cause for the next generation. If actually you have taken time to reflect on my post you will not jump to the conclusion that I'm a Yoruba Muslim and my vote is for APC. pls be well informed.

Great work OP. please did you use herbicides and plough for this land clearing

KillTheZombies:
You are just a road zombie down the totem pole of the of the APC zombie organogram. You are Just rehashing the same nonsense we've heard before which is a stale cliché.

You were never going to vote Atiku before, so spare us the boring tale and go back to breaking palmkernel at the backyard of the BMC office, so you can have a piece to eat.

Atiku is your president already.

Its only a Zombie that call another human that name and this shows your level if thinking and maturity. why do I even bother about you knowing you are a lost call.

This is the first time I will be seeing this full write up and I wonder how President Obasanjo could ask Nigerians to vote Atiku

Read This Just Before You Vote! See Obasanjo’s Brutal Testimony On Atiku!
2 days ago Wale Ameen

With the Presidential election less than 48 hours away, this is a silent reminder of Obasanjo’s thoughts and his testimony on the Peoples Democratic Party’s candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

Obasanjo had published in his memoirs a brutal testimonial about Atiku, which he said he was not retracting.
Excerpted here from former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s memoirs, My Watch, is his candid assessment of Atiku Abubakar, his former vice-president and one of the 70 plus contenders for Nigeria’s leadership throne on Saturday.
Obasanjo who now strangely backs Atiku for convoluted reasons, said at a function at Lagos Island Club last month that he stands by everything he wrote in the book.

Read the assessment before going to the polls on Saturday.
On why he picked Atiku as his vice president then:

”I considered all candidates that were available and what I knew about them. I had earlier collected information about some to beef up my knowledge of them. That night, I settled for Atiku Abubakar. Some of the reasons were: he worked hard for the project, he never indicated interest in the job to me, he had worked closely with Shehu Yar’Adua and Shehu never passed any adverse comment on him, he had been elected as a Governor which already put him on the pedestal to move up politically, but he had been short-changed in the election that would have put M.K.O. Abiola in power, and he seemed to have some national outreach. What I did not know, which came out glaringly later, was his parental background which was somewhat shadowy, his propensity to corruption, his tendency to disloyalty, his inability to say and stick to the truth all the time, a propensity for poor judgement, his belief and reliance on marabouts, his lack of transparency, his trust in money to buy his way out on all issues and his readiness to sacrifice morality, integrity, propriety, truth and national interest for self and selfish interest.

What I did not know, which came out glaringly later, was his parental background which was somewhat shadowy, his propensity to corruption, his tendency to disloyalty, his inability to say and stick to the truth all the time, a propensity for poor judgement, his belief and reliance on marabouts, his lack of transparency, his trust in money to buy his way out on all issues and his readiness to sacrifice morality, integrity, propriety, truth and national interest for self and selfish interest.
Maybe some of these traits and poor attributes are not easy to see until you work with the person concerned. And those who should tell would keep quiet so that they would not be accused of running others down. For instance, until later, when a distinguished chief from Bauchi pointed out to me the value of pedigree queried Atiku’s pedigree and blamed me for making a wrong choice, I did not pay attention to Atiku’s parental background. Furthermore, until all efforts to help Atiku change had failed – having stumbled upon a report of inquiry carried out on him – I asked one of my predecessors why he did not inform me of how bad the report was and he said that he thought I knew. He said, “This was a man I wanted to dismiss and jail but for the intervention of Shagaya and Shehu Yar’Adua.” I took him at face value. However, if his appointment was an error, I fully accepted responsibility for the genuine mistake. And knowing all that I discovered about him, what would have been an unpardonable mistake and sin against God would have been to foist him on Nigeria. My mistake was containable and it was contained…
And knowing all that I discovered about him, what would have been an unpardonable mistake and sin against God would have been to foist him on Nigeria. My mistake was containable and it was contained…

As I moved on with my programmes for the second term, I had no clear indication about who would succeed me. If Atiku had been a loyal, faithful, dutiful and committed second-in-command, I would not have doubted. After all, I picked him purposely for that in mind. What informed my position was the question my Chaplain, Rev. (Dr.) William Okoye, asked in the beginning of May 2006 about who I had anointed to succeed me, since we were almost one year away to the election. I told him no one yet. He was curious but he believed me. We moved on as all sorts of clouds started to gather around Atiku if not at home, surely in the US, with his newly acquired wife to complete his total Nigerian husband outlook. – Yoruba, Hausa, Fulani and Igbo wives. Here, he achieved Federal character. In addition, he acquired indiscriminately chieftaincy titles all over the country. By 30 May, I told Revd. Okoye, at a morning devotion session in my residence that I wanted to embark on one month fasting and praying in June for God to show us (PDP) how to proceed in getting a successor candidate. He joined me in the fasting and prayer with some other members of the Red Carpet Prayer Group. Within three weeks of our fasting and praying, we received a letter dated 22 June 2006 written by the US Department of Justice Criminal Justice Office of International Affairs, which was brought to me by Nuhu Ribadu, the Head of EFCC, requesting us to investigate a number of Nigerians for suspicion of criminal activities in the US.

Atiku Abubakar’s name was among the names sent to us. Up to that time, EFCC had enjoyed a close cooperation and collaboration with law enforcement agencies in the UK and the USA. I gave the green light to Nuhu for the investigation as requested by the US Authorities. He carried out the investigation and forwarded his report to the US. The report was a bit uncomfortable and unsavoury for Atiku and his associates. I thought it was bad enough that the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria was under investigation for corruption, when my Administration had made fighting corruption one of its cardinal objectives. As it turned out, the investigation in Nigeria and in the US led to Atiku’s house being searched by the US Bureau of investigation (FBI), the arrest and detention of his newly married wife, Jennifer. She was also declared wanted at one time. It was so embarrassing for our Administration and Embassy in Washington under Ambassador George Obiozor.
I believed that Atiku, for reasons not unconnected with the investigation, ceased from going to the US and put up his expensive house in an exclusive area of Washington DC, for sale. He bought the house early in our administration, and I blamed him for his poor judgement, though he tried to justify it by saying that he sold a smaller one to buy a bigger one; all the same, the timing was wrong. Congressman Jefferson eventually went to jail.

What that request for investigation from the US did was start a process of elimination in the transition process. Since Atiku did not raise or discuss any issue concerning his matter in America with me except what I read in the local and foreign newspapers and reports, I did not ask him about anything. By then, I had come to know Atiku for his connivance in covering up and not being straight forward on matters requiring truth and candour. On a number of occasions, I had told him to his face that I saw him differently from Shehu Yar’Adua, who was partly his political mentor and my second-in-Command during my military administration. Shehu would never lie to me. Atiku would look at me in the face and say no when the answer should be yes. I found it curious and inexplicable. After I had confronted him on a number of occasions, inviting my Chief of Staff, Abdul Mohammed, to witness by joining the two of us to iron out some of his dubious actions. After I reported him to his father-n-law, the Lamido of Adamawa, I gave up on him. He believed that denigrating me with his battery of media men and women was the surest way to succeeding me. I wished him well and moved on.

Sometime in the fourth quarter of 2004, an associate of Atiku came to my residence at the Aso Villa from Atiku’s official residence. He felt uncomfortable and I tried to make him feel at ease. Then, he settled to tell me the story of what had just transpired in Atiku’s residence. I listened with rapt attention, He went on to say that Atiku told him that for him to become the President of Nigeria, the 2007 elections were only a formality. The seven ingredients he needed for his enthronement were already in his hands. He controlled the National Assembly because both the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives were in his pocket. He controlled, twenty-eight out of thirty-six Governors. He had control of the media. His influence over the judiciary was overwhelming. What he needed was foreign endorsement and for that he had employed two lobby groups in the US and one in the UK. And finally, the money for the elections was in the purse. When the man finished, I thanked him without passing any comment. The man was surprised at my reaction and asked, “You have nothing to say to these?” I said I had nothing to say and I immediately called my ADC, Chris Jemilola, to play a game of squash with me. On our way to the squash court with my ADC, I said, “People at times make plans and leave God out of their plans.” My casual remark struck Chris and he said, “Sir, that was a profound statement”. I said that I made the statement because of what I had just heard of Atiku’s plan. I was not convinced he had put God in his plans. Atiku was confident and God was laughing.
Most of Atiku’s ingredients soon started to fall out of place one by one. The first was the party, PDP. He thought I was powerless and had no clue about the execution of his plan with his group; part of his attack on me was for National Chairman of the Party to give the first salvo, then other things would follow as his grip on the Party would be firm and consolidated. That salvo came in the form of a letter to me from the Chairman of the party, Audu Ogbeh, who had fully defected with Ayu to Atiku. The letter, which was not the product of any issue or matter discussed with or at any party meeting, came suddenly. When I received it, I could read the sinister intention behind it. And I told Remi Oyo, my media person that the letter would be out in the media within the couple of days. Remi doubted it would happen. Nevertheless, I spent that night writing my reply and I sent it in the morning. My reply was clear. I wondered why Atiku and his group did not realize that with my reply, the battle line was clear or maybe they thought that the seven ingredients would remain intact to the end.

Thanks OP for your good work and the mind to share. please I will you to share this info in a tabulated form for newbies that may what to try this out.

my brother it is not normal,but the land we want to use has abnormal rats with sensors to detect freshly sown seed,if u don't do a nursery that u can cover in the night the rats will come and eat the whole seed at night,you will end up irrigating and waiting for the seed to germinate,and the rats will be somewhere picking their teeth and laughing at u.

Thanks OP for your time and kind heart to share this info, pls can you help us with videos of some major operations like transplanting, stalking and chemicals measurements thanks.
