Agriculture / Re: The Plight Of Ginger Farmers In Southern Kaduna by akaahs(m): 11:40am On Dec 20, 2022
Lassbati222:
I come from Kaduna State, southern Kaduna to be precise. A native of Ham chiefdom who are known to be the top Ginger producing communities and that is why Kaduna State top the five Ginger producing states in Nigeria, which includes Bauchi state, Benue State, Gombe State and Nasarawa.

Farming Ginger is not an easy job, due to the fact that everything is done manually. Starting from clearing the land, digging the soil, cutting the seed into smaller pieces, buying of cow dung and spreading on the land, farming (Which require some to be dropping the smaller pieces of the seed, while others will use hoe to cover the seeds), covering the farm land with leaves, weeding (which can be done two or three times before harvest time), fertilizer application (Applied twice or thrice), harvesting (Done by digging and picking each seed) slicing each and drying.
Note that during last farming season, a basin of Ginger seed was going for N12,000 which will only cover a very small portion. Also note that fertilizer which use to cost N8,000 but last farming season, the Local government offered subsidized fertilizer at @ N21,700

Despite this stress, the local dealers are regulating the prices at will, leaving poor farmers helpless.

From October 2021 to October 2022, a bag of Ginger was sold between N30,000 to N34,000 depending on how clean your Ginger is. A bag is usually 41kg. At least it was a little consolation to farmers.

From November local dealers started bringing down the price, knowing farmers have no option, since they have needs. From 30k to 28k, to 21k to 20k to 18k to 15k and now back 20k.

Whereas I have been following the wholesale price of Ginger online. Let's take the price of Ginger as at 17th December, 2022.
It was sold at $3.58 per kg. Each bag is 41kg, assuming $ is N700, it means it was going N102,746 and if we keep $ at N500, then it was going for N73,390 but as at that 17th December, local dealers were buying from famers @N18,000. HABA


HOW DO LOCAL DEALERS GET MONEY TO PURCHASE GINGER IN LARGE QUANTITY?
I only know few dealers who use their personal money to buy ginger, transport to the wholesale market and sell it.
But must of them have bigger dealers within and outside the country who supply them with money to purchase ginger, while trailers keep coming to pack them away to the person that gave out the money.
My issue here is, most times you here that the bigger dealers pay this local dealers between 45k-60k per 41kg bag(Depending on who is providing the money) then this local dealers will inturn exploit the farmers by buying between 18-25 0r 30k-34k as the case of oct last year to oct this year.
This is really unacceptable.

Please if there is anyone who have an idea on ginger market should help and anyone who have ideas on how we can get out of the grip of these local dealers should please help.

Front page please.
The problem of this heartwraking issue is coming, first from our traditional leaders who failed to organize local farmers to dictate the prices of ginger. Second, from our representatives at various government, they failed to bring the presence of government offices that can harness this ginger in a deport in Southern Kaduna where all ginger ll export to international markets.
As for me, by God grace I'm gonna register a company responsible for exporting this commodity to international markets.

I don't understand? Is he suppose to inform you he got his girlfriend pregnant? Or what exactly is the problem?
At least. Since he carried me along right from day one he started the relationship with girl. He made me to make a promise to the dad that nothing will happen to his daughter and I did. Imagine the father decided to ask me about the pregnancy issue, what ll I tell him?? And I was at the traditional rights without knowing.

Nairaland / General / Re: Have You Ever Cut Off A Very Close Friend Completely? by akaahs(m): 5:57pm On Dec 14, 2022
I did. Dude hurriedly started making plans for his wedding not knowing that he has impregnated the girl and never mentioned it to me. I was together with him on the tradition right up till few weeks to the wedding I discovered d reason for the wedding. Kept my cool, bought his suit and mine too as the best man, gave him 50k. What really got me angry was 2 days to the wedding, dude started speaking in parables and later metaphose to not picking my calls. I was at the wedding, pretend as nothing happened but dude no gree relate with me but did to the groom's men. Immediately after church, I packed my things and head back to Abuja. I cut him off completely, he has been calling, I no gree pick. My wife have been begging to forgive him.

This is what I have got to learn about sex. If you as a man is very focused and don’t get easily seduced by women and sex. The woman you think does not like sex will automatically find you attractive. But Nigerian men do not even give chance to make this simple and clear observation.
My observations too. I discovered my wife don't appreciate it when ever I always make d move but any I'm around decided not to even care about or ignore d aspect of sex she always complain of not asking.

Please who else is been sex starved at home. I can count how many times we've had sex since dis year. Always money money money all the time which is beginning to bother a lot more on greed. We're very comfortable. Solid investments, own the house we live in.

He don't cheat at least none that I know of and he's very free with his phone.

I'm tired of living this way... Any help guys? He's the last person you can seduce. It just don't work with him.

To think it's this same man loves sex like crazy even after our kids before this money talks, makes me wonder how people change so fast
I just hope u didn't push him out of it just like my wife is doing to now. Do you complain a lot when he demands for it?
My wife do that alot in fact almost every time I demand for it, it's from one complaint to another, now I don't even feel anything for it. We just dey look ourselves like brother and sister.

The same man that has been running away from reality talk shows because he can't drop this lies and not grilled by the listeners or viewers. So many radio stations have been calling him to come talk on national issues but he refuses even when he managed to grant one, he won't agree to entertain questions.

You may not be friends but I believe in ending a friendship on good terms. If your ex friend wants to apologize , let him apologize and everyone moves on or go their way. No one is perfect, some people are still immature at certain age. Na life dey mature people from their childishness if they are willing to learn and grow.
Appreciate, gracia!!

I confronted him d day he called to inform me that he saw d alert when he begins to doll out some cryptic words, he just hang up the call. Since then he refused picking my calls.
