run your mouth,the end justify the means,her future is bigger that i can assure you.

The relationship with God and salvation is totally a personal thing. It is called dealings. Her decision is between her and her God! It is a business transaction! And they're both responsible for it except otherwise and not me, not even you!

Sir, with due respect, I'm not taking anything personal here, neither am I talking about her future nor my mouth running here. Her future is given to her already, from the day she was created of (not by) God! It is her dealings with whatsoever is her conviction.

I've unfollowed this talk.
I'm done here.

Shalom.

In as much as I am not happy with the out come, Christianity has nothing to with this, because it is a civil case. My only annoyance is why publicizing it? Why can't he advice her to withdraw with honour and take another O level Certificate. Why making her a public sinner?

This is also a considerable perspective sir

Stop being sentimental
The process of admission has a set standard
Laws are not created to favor our emotions..they are created for absolute judgement.

The law is not created to suit our emotions

Five o level credit it is

Even the bible says when we sin we should ask for redress and if possible pay for damages

The provost did the right thing

I guessed you mean to say Christ Jesus himself forgot the part "the law is the law" "Stop being sentimental " "The Moses law/Law of the land(Israel) when the harlot was brought before Him. Lol.

If you remember well, she was brought to test Christ's wisdom.

My sister, check the Bible, see around you, you'd see the law has always not been the law in all cases.

Even government gives amnesty against the state law.

Shalom.

authority2006:
There is no iota of Christianity in you dear friend. You are insinuating that she should have been allowed to graduate after confessing that she used fake result. Only God understands the kind of Christianity some of you think you are

With all TOTAL due respect sir, I think salvation is a personal experience needing no one to validate. Validation or agreement of anyone is nothing but a total HERESY. I also don't practice Christianity as a religion too. I'm a Christian who do not practice religious Christianity. And I never did insinuate anything contrary to Christianity here but religious Christianity, I doubt.

I pray that the wholeness of the WISDOM of the Holy Spirit, the LOVE of son and the POWER of the father abide in us.

Shalom.

She was not wrongly taught, what she did is right, a foundation built on lies and deceit will not stand, it is better to start from scratch and be lifted up in the right way.

I don't think both of you are wrong. One sees from the spiritual, the other from the moral. The perfect example here still stands on the harlot brought to Jesus. What the harlot did was totally wrong morally but yet Christ never saw it that way. The law is moral, the faith of grace is non comprehensible. It is love.

One thing is sure, not all moralities are spiritual. There is a way you expect something to go and there is a way God directs them. Many examples are in the Bible, of people who were morally wrong, yet God seemed to appear not to go in that direction.

There is no record of whatsoever of sins of someone who is of God but humans, I doubt. How do you feel to have your resident pastor in a scandal of a forged O'level results?

If that happens to be a pastor in my church, I wouldn't be bothered at all. Humans sometimes could be complicated by their experiences, by their pasts and negativity takes advantage of that. it is between her and God and if that is settled and she's got issues with the human morality aspect, she's got to deal with that. But as for me, I'd rather go with the God thing.

There is something I'm not getting here. Are you telling me that the same set of people who persuaded her was the man who head the organization where she was condemned,belong? (I don't want to mention church name)

Common where is Christianity? Where is the example of the harlot brought to Jesus to be condemned by the stone carrying Jews among other examples?

Imagine what religion has turned Africans to (I'm a Christian too but a sane one)

In as much as this is not OK, I think there is a better way things could have been done. I thought it is well accepted that the Holy Spirit is the spirit of wisdom? Right thing can still be done without having to hurt anyone.

Now how do they help her to be reintegrated to the system she was condemned? At least, they've got to show the redeeming power of Christ. And thank God, the man who head the organization belong to the same set of people who persuaded her in the first place.

This story must be made up.

Harvesting is close at hand but this time, I will be away like a month. Education could be burden sometimes

Can legume force be used instead of weeding manually?

Good day sir, sorry for the delay.

Legume force might do it. Please mark might. You could end up not really happy with the kind of result you might have at the end of the day. Just like Lagon used in maize and cassava intercrop (MCI) (if you have an experienced MCI farmer, ask them about lagon). Legume force need a degree of moisture (condensed water dropplet) in air and residual water in the soil to be effective. And also, not all cowpea varieties can withstand imazethapyr (active ingredient in legume force) . Please mark not all.


Imazethapyr is a derivative of imazapyr. This imazapyr is a powerful herbicide, not only on land but also in water!

You wonder how white people could cultivate several hectares of maize and wouldn't have to disturb themselves on weeding?

One of these days, we will talk about imazapyr and it derivatives. And the goodnews, we have them in Nigeria.

For the industrial salt, (major thing in salt lick), is dark in colour and easily attracts water (what we say ordinarily as melting) when exposed to air. I think we're out of it but we've got some in the store, I'll send the pic. I hope I don't forget again

Sorry for the delay. She had sent those pics earlier but I was so tired and just got the opportunity to post them.

Still leafing

Unit 3
Maize intercrop, currently being weeded

Unit 2.

Delayed weeding caused them not to spread hand much but as rain is doing here, which I've got mixed reaction on, they might do.

Pods above the canopy

Unit 1. Closed up already, minimal weeds present and weeding not a necessity now but could be handpicked

OK. Let me start with the pictures now.

There are two farms, four units.

Farm A

Unit 1= flowering and fruiting stage
Unit 2= early flowering stage

Farm B

Unit 3 (Cowpea intercrop with (few) maize
= preparing to spread hand (don't forget, they're semi erect), some preparing to flower

Unit 4= bringing their 4th -5th leaves (4th -5th trifoliate)

This is physical control.

Till now, we have not sprayed the beans with insecticides and little insect pests infestation


The pictures now

Chemical and physical controls

Physical is anything you can use visible contact to solve. You can kill, pick, wash off or chase off the insect.
Currently, on my cowpea farm, there is this black insect resembling soldier ant and they're molding sand around the beans plants and sometimes the flowers.
Normally, I would have used insecticides on them but No I didn't. Why? Because, with little shaking, they fall off even with wind, there are not feasible harm they're causing, and rain washes them off, which these days, it's like June. I am not ready to overwhelm the beans with chemicals

Chemical Control you always be your last resolve when all the above fails or does not make sense as in it is not feasible

2. Biological control
Just like biology. Anything that deals with what? Living things, yeah. You got it.

For examples,
A. Plant early to medium maturing varieties of beans. Their time is short on the farm! No be wetin dey stay too long insects go meet before hin go call hin people come or born plenty children cos food dey available. By the time, dem know wetin sup, he go choke them.

B. Plant varieties that are resistant to insect attack like pod borers etc.
Some places are just endowed with some kind of pest. If you get a new farm, and you won plant beans, ask person wey don tay for that farmland if them don plant beans around before, if hin talk yes, ask wetin be the challenges they face and how many years ago

My brother, anything less than 8 years, try to stand gidigba for that challenge, if na leaf eaters or miners, aphid, talk to people wey sabi all these varieties that are resistant and go for it.

1. The cultural control
Just as how we would say culture is the way of life. Cultural here, the way of doing things. They're just adjustments you make on your farms that is better for your own kind of environment, in order to be successful in your farming business.

We've spoken on various ones here. For examples, divide your farm into parts or segments, if you want to cultivate 5 hectares and above, you can make it 1 hectare located in different parts of the whole farmland, check the crops surrounding your farm to be OK for beans, backdate your planting date for beans etc

Pest

Cowpea has always been known to be attracted to insects, from the black small ones who just clump together (aphid) around it, to the ones that suck the pod, to the ones that destroy the seed, and to several other ones.

Why does insect pests attack crops (which cowpea is part)?

If you have the time, you can refer to my wet season maize dairy where I wrote about the ecosystem.
Nature is in a delicate balance, a balance it is always striving to keep equal.

How can pest be controlled?
We have always known four methods exist
1. Cultural
2. Biological
3. Physical
4. Chemical control

One of those things that take lot of money from cowpea farmers is the cost of chemicals. They forget about the alternatives, and that is why today we have beans that have been battled with various chemicals to the extent of people dying from their consumption

As arranged from 1-4 above are the steps of control on should choose in beans cultivation

I have always be on the point, the major challenges of cowpea cultivation in the south are (1) climate (rain, temperature, sunlight) (2) diseases (3) pests (insects and rodents) (4) weed (5) soil (phosphorus)

We've talked on how the climate could be circumvented. Not much have been said about the diseases but they are least of concern, if you do the right thing.

Tonight, I would like us to look at pest and weed.

Good evening everyone.

I travelled down here (I've got a little break) to my farm and business.

I will be giving updates so far on the cowpea cultivation, and continue the explanations.

Finnish:
Can't find this vaccine in stores here, do you have a picture? I'll ask someone to get it for me

It's might be the name you're calling for them. You know most of these folks who deal with these stuffs just get someone who don't know much about them to stay in their stores.

I'll work on it, lemme put a call through to someone
