I'm glad at how you were able to find a way to show that pornogrsphy has a conneCtion with sin. How you are unable to see that disregarding your husband by including your father's name is not equal to disobedience to the command of submission is what amazes me. You can choose to allow your wife do such, that is your own cup of tea. But calling men weakling for chosing to take their God given role as head of the woman is what I find surprising.

The Bible says a woman is to submit to her husband in all things. But you say a woman. can be selective in that regard.Is t that an order to disobey God?

You say these things are traditions of men. Do you know that some are approved by God who said we shouldn't remove the ancient landmark which h our father's have set.

Proverbs 22:28 Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.

Tradition has it that we pay bride price and make our wife bear our name. But because of westernization which threw away the landmark, you also want us to do the same.

You can allow you wife bear whatever name she wishes. But never condone a woman. who goes against her husband's command to bear his name alone. That means you have condoned disobedience to Gods word which says women are to submit and be in subjection to their husband.

BTW, Magdalene is another name which Mary bore, not where she came from. Magdalene was included to differentiate her from Mary the mother of Jesus and also Mary the mother of James and joses whom the Bible also called the mother of ZEBEDEE's children (another way of linking her to her husband)


Mayhew 27:56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children.

So you see, women are not identified by where they lived but whose wife or daughter or mother they are, all of which ties to a man.

OK, I have read the trash, and it was trash, as I predicted.



Unfortunately, I have traversed the Northern states of Nigeria, very often enough to know that the North has been enjoying power since years gone by. I have two questions...

1. How is it that most of the HYDRO-electric power plants are in the North, when it is needless to say that the Southern part of Nigeria has proximity to the biggest water bodies in Nigeria?

2. How come they are still generating, transmitting and distributing power in the North, while the South is wallowing in darkness and epileptic power supply?

I was thinking that it is the usual bill-dey-come end of month LEPA supply plan, I didn't know that this new 8-hr light a day plan is to asseverate these bogus claims of these nefarious recalcitrants.

ndi uchu!

Hello Nairalanders,
Please I need your answers to this question. As a christian (RCCG), can I have sex with my wedded wife after I break my fast for the day before 12 midnight? Is it good or not good? We are still looking to have another chilldren after 5 years of delay.

Ubenedictus:
a sacrament consist of form, matter, minister and intention.

take for instance baptism, the matter is water, the form is the words spoken by the minister, the intention is to baptise.

marriage has matter and form and minister and intention, he needs to ask the Church to dispense him from the need to fulfill the form of the sacrament I.e he will be dispensed from the need to do the wedding in the Catholic Church.

so instead his Bishop will empower someone usually a priest to be in your Church on that day to witness the wedding on behalf of the Catholic Church, by dispensing him from the form, he can be married in your Church and because the Catholic Church officially witnessed the wedding he will be recognized as valid..... there is a whole theology here.


if he agrees to this, then you guys need to see his parish priest immediately... he will tell him what to do.



the other option is to have two wedding, one in your Church I.e the big one with reception and everything, then a small one in his Church the next day at morning mass, without reception or other money sucking stuff.

his family may not like either options, I know if it is my house my mum won't attend the wedding in your Church she will meet us at the reception... you guys need to discuss this extensively.


I wish you luck

I just checked...details still intact but...
I can't seem to see where to edit ?

fluentinfor:
Let me just drop the details here as I have received too many messages that I cannot start replying everyone.


Which type of drip?
There are two kinds of drip irrigation systems. One that has embedded emmiters and one that you drill holes into by yourself and fix emitters on the holes. Embedded is cheaper; hence, it is what you should use.

Thickness
I recommend you pick 0.3mm and above. 0.2mm is too common in Nigeria. It is ok for gravity fed systems but if you are usig pressure like me, the day you set it up is the day it starts bursting here and there. It is too light for my kind of work. In short, you can only enjoy it in its first season. After, you will not like it again. Better to take 0.4mm but 0.3mm is ok. The thicker the drip, the more expensive it is.

Rate of Flow:
Anything 1L/hr is ok but I prefer you choose 2L/hr and above.

Size:
16mm diameter is more appropriate.

Spacing:
Most people choose 30cm emitter spacing but really I do not know why. When they want to cultivate another crop that needs more spacing, they tell you to skip the next emitter. If you have 1,000m drip, this is like 3,333 emitters which should handle 3,333 plants. But skipping every other emitter slashed it to 1,667 plants. And it means you keep wasting fuel on the other 1,667 spaces you skipped. Also, you will be discouraged to use fertigation as you will waste fertilizer on 1,667 spaces feeding weed. Well, do not just go for 30cm. I know most sellers will just tell you 30cm bla bla bla. Know about the kinds of crops you want to cultivate. If it is cucumber and you are in a downy mildew infected area, choose 40cm or 50cm. If you are the type who cultivates cucumber, tomato and watermelon, 50cm is more appropriate. You can imagine using 30cm to cultivate watermelon. You will have to skip every 2 emitters and plant on every other.

Fertigation:
Learn how to use it. It saves you so much. All those 1 inch venturis will take you no where in my own opinion. Well, the cheapest kit is still venturi but it works under minimum of 2 bar. Gravity will not work as it is around 0.2bar.

Filter:
I avoid using it except the water source is terribly dirty. Filter reduces pressure so much but I always have it around and I just remove the disc or mesh inside when I do not need it. When i need it, I fix it. Use 120 to 130 mesh filter.

I always cut my drip into 40m length which means my beds are usually 40cm length. Many times I have used 50 - 60m if i have high water pressure.

Main Line
This is the line that runs across the top of all your beds where the drip lines are connected to and where fertigation not and filter are connected. Many use 1 inch. If you have more than one acre, I suggest you use minimum of 2 inches. Infact, if you use mud pump of 3 inches, do not reduce it. Lay 3 inches across your farm as this will give you super volume of water and the pressure wil be high. You may be able to irrigate half of your farm at once or maybe your whole farm at once.

Connectors:
Valve connectors to the main pipes (make sure it has valve, do not buy the ones without valve. What I see around are those without valves). Seller are not farmers, they buy what they profit more on.

End caps:
Insist on buying this too. I have used sticks only to tie the end of my lines but they aren't the best.

Connectors of drip lines:
I doubt if sellers give you this. But you will have bursts, so you need these to connect your lines without leakags.

How many drip lines do I need per acre?
My recommendation is 1 km per plot. If cucumber, it is around 1km per plot. If watermelon, it may be around 1/4km to 1/2km per plot depending on your spacing. So, it is a wrong question to ask how many km do I need per acre. Very wrong and naive question. It is cos the buyers are naive is the reason sellers customized 4km per acre. To know what quantity you need for a particular crop, you must know the spacing you need. The bed spacing, row spacing, and most importantly, your arithmetic must be sound.

For example watermelon:
1 acre = 4,000 sqm.
Let say your beds are 40m long.
So, it means you have 100m × 40m land
If you have 2m btw rows, you will have about 51 lines. So, you need just 51 × 40 = 2040m. You can simply pick 2km. If you have more than 2m btw rows, you need less and if it is smaller, you need more. So, you see that you limit yourself by not knowing the details of drip irrigation. Sellers are not farmers, stop listening to them. However, there are sellers that are good.

1 acre cucumber:
40m beds long.
Let's say you make your beds 80cm and walk path 40cm, you will have around 83 beds. You then have two lines per bed. So, you have 166 lines. In total, you need 6,666m (6.6km.) But many sellers tell you need 4km just because they also do not know or because they do not want the wahala of explaining too much. . Ok. If you make your beds 1m width, and path way 50cm, you need less. So, this is it. You must know what you are doing and not just dive into farming like a Jaguar.

I am a very busy person and may not be able to attend to every inquiry as I receive too many mails daily.

Hope this helps.

Thanks your explanation is spot on but I will like you to talk on the issue of pump, so that we can know the necessary pressure needed to irrigate 1 acres

LUKINGUY:
It’s better you try to understand his illustrations. It’s clearer only it’s more mathematical.

He has point listed let’s know which exact point you don’t understand then I can explain further.

Thanks

for those that contacted me, I already told them I can satill assist with Cassava stem if its not more than 5 acres but anything above that, they will have to buy it

humilitypays:
there is no rise in dowry, people just come online to rant when they knew ahead they weren't prepared to settle down.

How many Igbo men do you see complaining about paying whether Igbo woman o, Yoruba woman o, Hausa woman o, Fulani woman or Oyimbo woman dowry

In fact, Igbo guys are known for paying more than the usual bride price of their bride, why Because we so much value our bride and are happy to have her in our life.

Some tribe collect penny for bride price, but other expenditures will make you scream.

President Buhari collected 10naira or so as bride price for Zhara Buhari, but did u hear that the groom bought expensive jewelries, clothes, etc for the family which is how Fulani's does their own, why not go and tell them to reduce it

Yorubas collect penny for bride price, but the money they spend on the wedding party alone can build an estate. In fact, they spend a fortune on the wedding party which makes their own wedding higher in expense, yet Igbos don't scream and complain Yorubas change their party way.

Yorubas should learn to respect Igbos pls

Is there an avenue to change from N build to N agro. I do nt want to be seen as a cheat, it's was just that I HD to apply again cos I thought the list of 2016 has been done away with after the first release. Thank
