Thank you.
But i want to ask. What about the other varieties. Does it means dat if one eats it, he will be harmed?
well I am not a very Experienced farmer.

One thing I know is, Cassava contains high level of Cyanide which can be dangerous if not properly processed. BUT that Variety with red leaves is kinda different. Any REAL farmer would tell you same and getting the stem ain't hard at all as it's often planted together since it equally serves same purpose as the others.

Hello.
Can one boil cassava and eat?
There's the Variety whose leaf is somewhat RED. Ask any (Cassava) farmer and they would tell you. That Variety can be roasted or boiled.

Your idea is good,but the world have moved on from what you doing, everything is now industrialized for self sufficiency.
First world countries and even most developing countries all have commercial and industrial food production.
Maybe you should start refining crude to cater for personal use/or produce your own drugs for your health care.
the Idea is to reduce our level of reliance / dependence on external factors. Ever wondered why most nigerians do much better when they travel out of the country ? Person wey dey carry 50KG load for him home country, go get less issues carrying 10KG in foreign country

Well let those who could afford waiting on the Government and God to help them keep waiting, while THOSE who can't go ahead and help themSelves.

So what's your point? Everybody should become a farmer. Do u know how fucking third world your reasoning is? In USA only 1.3% of the pop are farmers, yet they have so much excess that America is tagged the most wasteful nation on earth. Industrialization is the way to go not all these third world shithole bullshit

Never asked anyOne to be anything. Me just talk ma own so those wey wan follow, go follow.

it's even more painful when I see those with better resources wasting away. Some people's phone can buy a half plot of land. What some need is selfContained apartment in mainLand but dem go rent 3-bedroom flat for isLand.

And just so you know, Me be Ajebo (100% Lagos born and raised), and I be graduate + into IT (hence not jobLess) + not as poor as a lot of those constantly crying and disturbing Government + God yet I still find nothing wrong doing some gardening.

I sacked NEPA / PHCN right from Jonathan regime. We need understand there's nothing as BAE as being selfReliant. I just talk make I share am, who knows, might inspire anyOne even if na just 1 person in every 1-million that reads it.

You mean you are farming al those things alll by yourself despite having no prior knowledge.
I'm impressed with you. I just thought pictures will motivate people to see that it is possible especially doubting Thomases like me.

they actually are very simple especially since all I need do is ensure they're weed free , and watered and those don't have to be done daily.
Watering Once every 2 days (even if it's just Morning or Evening) should be enough and if properly mulched, once a week might be manageable.

With nature of ma work, me no get time at all at all but I make out at least 2-hours once a week to attend to them and for watering, that doesn't take up to 30-minutes and I don't even do them everyday sef, just once every 2 days. Sometimes sef, na evening or once a week sef.

Only thing that could cost me up to 1 or 2 hours is maintainance such as weeding and that's like once in like 2 or 3 weeks or atimes sef once a month.

All na just sense, wisdon and strategy. Planning on building a very big cage and I am currently picturing how it would look and work so as not to stress me

Imagine the citizens clamouring for military takeover as against the so called Democratically elected government. APC is really a cancer to Nigeria šŸ˜¢
They probably think or wish it would seem like other countries, even when they ain't actually sure of how millitary regime is like in such countries

Wow!! Great one
Can you show us a pic of your farm so others can see and learn

They need no PICTUREs to learn or motivated. I saw none myself yet I was able to get started despite having no background at all.

To me, all they really need is HUNGER for selfReliance

Me wey don plant

6 stands of Okra which matures in less than 4-months (+ extra 3 Okra plants which matures at about 10-months. Didn't plant them. Dem just grow as weed but I decided to leave them),

Gradually, na only Maggi and PalmOil me go dey buy from market. The pupu from the Poultry and Goats and others would serve as Fertilizer for the crops.

Mind you, I be pure Omo Eko`. na 100% Lagos breed I be and early lat year was my very first time handling cutlass. Me no get Hoe but I get shovel.

Recently, me plant like 15 stands of Red Cassava (heard it can be eaten as Yam). Didn't plant the regular cassava because me never ready stress myself for processing.

All the above on approximately half plot of land. before you talk of space,
The plantain, I used spacing of 6ft x 6ft.
The yam I plant am where space no dey because I no say na climb e go later climb so no need wasting space.
The Pawpaw are planted on edges acting as secondary fence.

Me no sabi rely or wait on God or Government Oooo. The brain wey dey ma head no dey there for FANCY

Business / Re: Dahiru Mangal Begins Cement Production, Builds $1.5bn Plant In Kogi(pix) by bassdow: 10:31am On Aug 05
Donpuffy:
Atleast, the Dangote monopoly will be broken, therefore giving a room for competition and before we know, cement prices will crash!
it's not really about Dangote but those who put unnecessary expenses on him.

If you've ever gotten contract, or handled a project in any government parastal, (or even in some private companies sef) you go understand the number of palms you need grease to get even the slightest thing right from gateMan, cleaner, etc; before you even get to those that would consider you.
Have had to turn down a juicy contract at an engineering firm in Lagos Airport after I saw the situation of things. They don't mind telling you the minimum to charge so long theirs is well taken care of.

Let's not even talk of cost of maintaining said relationship.

Programming / Re: Tax Them To Death: Lagos Plans To Get N200 Billion Annually From Remote Workers by bassdow: 11:16pm On Aug 04
tosinhtml:
The Lagos State government has unveiled an ambitious plan to generate N200 billion annually by expanding its income tax base to include remote workers and leveraging digital solutions for enhanced revenue collection.

According to the synopsis document for the EKO Revenue Plus Summit, which is expected to hold on September 25th and 26th, 2024, with the theme ā€œUnlocking New Revenue Streams for Lagos Stateā€, this southwest state plans to raise N5 trillion internally generated revenue (IGR) from four major sectors.

One of such sectors is the digital economy, through which Lagos State plans to introduce a Resident Global Digital Citizen Tax Management System, targeting remote workers, foreign firms, and digital influencers.

Blockchain and Tokenization Agenda: Lagos State plans to implement tokenization for real estate, infrastructure, and intellectual property. This project will require N500 million and aims to generate N100 billion annually from income fees and permits.

Several times, some of our Nigerian clients have asked why we ain't registered in Nigeria or do this or that and I keep telling them 1 thing - I steer clear anything having to do with Nigerian Government.
If being registered gets me in contact with Nigerian Government, I no do.

If having a Business Current bank account gets me closer to Nigerian government, I no do

...


DevilsEqual:


Does that mean u havent being paying Tax as a remote worker?? shocked

I guess it depends on the organisation

Me been dey pay Tax since as i was an Intern in international firm as a remote work, not to talk of now



I pay rent + associated LandUseCharge, among others including the silly Radio & TV fees
I pay VAT data subscriptionS
I pay VAT for call credits
I pay VAT on Utility bills (Waste, Power, etc)
I pay VAT on every appliances and/or gadgets I acquire
I get charged VAT anyTime I make or receive financial transactionS
Even the Money I pay myself, I still get charged
...

with lots of multiple TAXations, without being useful to we the masses, I see it a huge crime asking me for TAX when I am already paying more than I ought to.

if you want to insist, I kukuma tell you ma salary is 1 naira



qtguru:


Guy I had a system of receiving money i had Canadian Paypal account tied to my Wise, so I could move money to my Geegpay or sell to PayPal agents. it's easy to move around without Government knowing the source.
you still ends up paying more sef. mayBe not directly to Nigerian government.

And should you end up exchanging the foreignCurrency on the street, you unKnowingly paying to Nigerian government
