That fake prophet should go and treat Malaria..

1. Army can't arrest a democracticaly elected president on swearing in day.. that's tantamount to coup and the big guys (Uk, US, Russia et al.) will come in.

2. No court in Nigeria will declare Peter Obi in distant 3rd or 4th behind Atiku winner.. he didn't meet the 25% votes in 24 states + FCT requirements to be proclaimed winner.. the pastor should stop playing.

3. DSS will arrest a lot of people including Pastor Enenche and the others fanning embers of war over Obi's loss. Even Obi himself might be picked.

4. The swearing in will hold at Eagle's square in Abuja under tight security. I don't think Army would want to jeopardize the stability of Nigeria over the election loss of one person (Obi).

My verdict is that the pastor was among the EndSars protestsrs that destroyed Lagos. Let me comfortably tell him that the real Lagos youths will come out to defend Lagos from any Ipob terrorists agenda this time around.

Well, I like your doggedness in this business of gaslighting but your fine prose doesn’t cut neither does it make your submission, valid however like we are wont to say, time is the final arbiter

Politics / Re: Meet Nigerian Student Activist Rusticated 3 Times By 3 Vc's by Degis(m): 3:06pm On Aug 31, 2021
Amanpo:
OWEI LAKEMFAAUG 30, 2021

Adeola Soetan was a staff of the Nigeria Television Authority, NTA, Abeokuta when some young student leaders from the Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU, Ile-Ife visited the station. Cladded in black, they came in connection with the annual commemoration of the June 7, 1981 massacre of six students in Ife by the police.



Adeola Soetan
The students looked so young, yet articulate and confident while being interviewed, that he decided in furthering his studies, to attend the OAU. So in 1986, he was admitted into the institution for a five -year course in Agriculture. He was aged 25.But when he got to the campus, the student union that attracted him, had been banned over protests against the student massacre at the Ahmadu Bello University, ABU.

On campus, he started writing and pasting articles why student unionism should be restored. His articles carried his name and room number. One day, two young students, Yinka Odumakin, later a national figure in Nigerian politics, and Kola Odetola visited and invited him to join a student journal,‘Ripples’. A month later, they invited him to a student seminar where he met young students discussing how to revive the student union and intelligently analysing national and international politics. That was how he joined the radical students movement.

About three months later, during the university convocation, the representative of the Visitor, Admiral Patrick Koshoni, was stoned by students protesting the trial for treason of eleven electricity senior staff who had gone on strike in protest against the neglect of their sector. Soetan was not present when this happened. He had attended an all-night social party the day before, and slept most of the day. So when Koshoni was stoned, he was sound asleep in his room. About 9.30pm, Odumakin and Odetola came to his room and asked whether he listened to the NTA Network News. No he hadn’t. So they informed him he was one of the students the university claimed to have identified stoning Koshoni and has therefore been rusticated indefinitely. He was just four months on campus!

Soetan an orphan since 19, was sponsoring himself in school with help from his sister, Rosalyn Soetan. She seemed so devastated and exclaimed: “How could you go and stone the Minister?” He replied: “ I did not stone the Minister, I was not even there.” She responded: “Ah! Iro ni”(Ah! It is a lie).

Soetan went to court to prove he was not physically present at the convocation and was not given any hearing. Also, to point out that three of the eight rusticated students were pen names, so how could the university claim people whose identity they do not know, were seen stoning the Minister? Additionally, that one of the remaining names, Seni Ajayi was served his rustication letter in Ondo whereas the person served had graduated and left the university! So, it was clearly a case of mistaken identity. Soetan lost the case but the reinvigorated student union asked the rusticated students to resume classes, and the university turned a blind eye.

In April 1990, Soetan was elected the student union President. Shortly afterwards, there were national student protests and the OAU students union was banned and the school closed down for one month.

Then there was an attempted coup in the country on April 22, 1990 and state security agents invaded the campus and abducted two lecturers, Professors Omotoye Olorode and Idowu Awopetu. In the process of spiriting the lecturers away, one of the agents in his car lagged behind, was apprehended by the students and beaten. The university authorities wanted to save the life of the security agent from the thousands of angry students, but could not persuade them, so they appealed to Soetan.

He asked in what capacity he was to intervene since the union had been banned. But the university denied the union was banned. So he spoke to the students and assured them that the union was capable of handling the situation. Later, the university wrote the students inviting them to meet government representatives who were threatening to storm the campus unless the agent was released. The students rejected the letter, insisting it should be properly addressed. Two hours later, the university unbanned the students union and returned with a letter addressed to the President of the students union. So the students agreed to the meeting. The security agent was released after spending 12 days in the students custody.

In 1991, the National association of Nigerian Students, NANS, ordered a nationwide students boycott of classes in furtherance of its demand for a N2,000 bursary for students and the right to education. When a student congress was called in OAU to mobilise for this protest, a cult group, the posted notices decreeing: “No Rally. No protest on campus. Be warned.” When Soetan led the student congress that held in Awolowo Hall, there were disturbances.

His supporters guided him to safety in his Room 273, Awolowo Hall. Then the armed cultists smashed his door, dragged him out, broke a flower vase on his head and brought him to the ground floor. It was at that point students realised what was going on and came to his rescue. The cultists broke into a run, fleeing into the hills. But one of them ran to the bar of the Student Union Building, SUB, from where he flung bottles at the students injuring a number. The students retaliated likewise and he was severely injured. He died while being taken to the teaching hospital.

The university was closed down for two weeks. On resumption, Soetan was invited with some students to write a statement on the incident at the More Police Station, Ife. Eighteen of them were detained and later taken to police cells in Ibadan. After about one month, Soetan and three others were brought back to Ife, and amidst police-student street battles, were charged with conspiracy and murder before a magistrate court. They were remanded at the Ilesha prisons where they spent seven months (June 12, 1991-January, 1992) before the police discontinued the case.

On return to campus, Soetan was again expelled, this time for failing to register for two semesters which was impossible as he was in police cell and prison for eight months. The struggle to get him recalled went on for over two years.

Soetan, even without failing his examinations, spent 13 years in OAU for a five-year programme. He passed through four Vice Chancellors: Professor Wande Abimbola who first expelled him; Professor Adeniyi Osuntogun, the next to expel him; Professor Wale Omole, the third to expel him; and Professor Makanjuola Roger who signed his certificate. Yesterday, Sunday August 29, 2021, this indomitable fighter, turned 60.

I lived throughout this history and I really pay homage to this great Nigerian. I am grateful that I went to school with this great man

Well said.

Some parents are just so irresponsible and happen to be the most fertile. Why bring into the world something you can't nurture.

Birthing kids like pigs, and when they overwhelmed, they just ignore there responsibility or the "I don't give a fvck" thingy

And also, the way stupid people are copulating is on the high. The product of Yahoo Boy + Yahoo girl, Male Armed Robber + Prostitute e.t.c.

This copulation has been breeding future armed robbers, Yahoo boys, assasins and fraudsters as the family they coming from breeds them into. Products of unstable and violent homes.

Nigeria needs to set a standard about birthing. If you not earning more than 3million per annum, you have no right to have a 2nd child.

If this regulation is in place, would you be here on earth?.

It is not about money but about irresponsible parenting

What we need is regulations and enforcement that makes it compulsory that you take care of any child from your loins and strict punishment for deviants

we are planning on how to be getting steady nutrients in small quantities everyday to the cucumbers on one plot ₦500k challenge,we have some ideas but the only one that will be economcal viable and doable is fertigating organic chicken manure through a Venturi injector,we have an open 2000 ltr tank ,we will fill it with water,soak 5-10 or more bags of chicken manure in it and after 1 week we will start to fertigate the manure tea any time we are irrigating and be topping up the tea as it goes down,one problem that is still keeping us on the drawing board is particles clogging the emitters ,we don't want that to happen,we are going ahead with the plan and be thinking how to solve the clogging issue, using new bags for the manure will be one solution, fitting extra filtering net is other,I think more ideas is needed if any of my dear farmers have one,he should help us out,pics of the setup is coming soon.

My advice to you is that you should soak your manure in a different tank, sieve it then pour the water into your fertigating tank with sieve at the point of distribution.

You would save yourself a lot of headache by going through this route

It is 1000kg. I am going to do pepper but I am believing God for money to do borehole on the farm. I believe this new year will see it come to pass with bumper harvests in Jesus mighty name

Beans is not profitable nowadays,iam a beans farmer in Niger state but I will not farm it next year because of two reasons 1- low selling price,currently the price of 100kg bag in Niger state is less than 13k while before is 20k upward.2-the yield per hectare is very low,I planted three hectare this year but I only got 22 bags.

I am also a Beans farmer and I planted 2 hectare and got 3 bags of 1000kg bags after spending about 160K. If you can get a variety with less shaft, mechanized planting, weeding, boom sprayer, threshing machine, sifter and large tracts of land, you may turn a profit.

As of now, I don’t think I am doing Beans without any of the aforementioned

Again, this year, University of Lagos has performed a bit below expectation. It has consistently produced the highest number of first class graduands from the law school for about 6 years and that's verifiable. The same Babcock University that has produced 10 this year produced only 4 last year when Unilag produced 20. Even ABUAD that made 12 last year now has half of it this year. Consistency, as unilag has been until now, is what sets the institution apart. Let's see how consistent Babcock would be.

I'm surprised that suddenly, ranking doesn't mean much to you, HigherEd, whose entire online presence has been about digging deep, searching which recent ranking puts CU as the best in the world. NUC, our own most reputable commission insisted that UNILAG is the only university in the country with the full accreditation of law, and by virtue of that, best in the Nigeria for law. This same university, UNILAG, is said to be among the top 1000 universities in the world, ranked by one of your best ranking outlets, THE. Are you insinuating now that a Babcock somewhere is so spectacular and beats other universities to it?

I'm particularly concerned about the misinformation fed to the public by generalizing the fortune of the entire private university community by the success of a few. Because Babcock has produced its highest ever first class in law school does mean all private universities are now exceptional at law. Many of them have no business offer advanced university course. The would serve better as event tutorial or event centres.

Talking about scandal, i still yet to understand why the university chose to expel the lady if it didn't rock the university boat as a scandal. We don't have to deny that Babcock, as well as CU, is well far away from what could be considered a liberal school as Stanford,Harvard and Unilag. It allegedly built its foundation on the solid rock of moral decency and appear to itself as the moral compass other schools should point at. If for such school, the news isn't a scandal, then scandal has no business in the dictionary.

1. If you agree that private schools would have a few intelligent students that would blaze the trail of academic excellence, isn’t it proper to agree that before those students could have done well the infrastructure in place in those schools aided them especially when they also replicated their excellent performance in a school where both private and public school graduates competed with each other in a level playing ground?

2. You may wish to recall the fact that you can’t hold a linear view when comparing and contrasting. If you choose to compare and contrast year on year performances, credible metrics should also include number of first class to the number of students produced per school thus that Unilag produced 20 first class graduates last year, how many students attended from Unilag vis-a-vis the number from Babcock this year and last year. I am sure if you consider these metrics you will agree with Highered that all doubts have been cleared that our Private Universities have obliterated all doubts that people of your ilk have.

3. You seem to be fixated on the fact that Unilag have full accreditation for law forgetting that accreditation and rankings are 2 different issues. NUC’s ratings has consistently included Private Universities that even justify the fact Highered has been making. For your information, even with Unilag’s law accreditation, Covenant University, a Private University (emphasis mine) has for the past 5 years done better than Unilag.

4. You claim that Highered has inadvertently elevated a few exceptional performances of students from Private Universities to the point of grandeur. However, if you agree with me, if people like you did not engage in your campaign of my farm is bigger than yours, the dichotomy wouldn’t have existed in the first place. You can’t continue to denigrate Graduates and Students of Private Universities and not expect them to spread their successes in your faces.

5. What happened to you, is not as important as how you react to it and Babcock reacted in a way and manner that any world class institution would be proud of. The brand suffered a reputational risk and it arose like the Phoenix from the ashes of it to demonstrate zero tolerance for absurdity and also daze perennial naysayers with the excellent performances of her students

When you bought this nursery crate then if I told you not to use it, it will seems I don't know what I'm saying

The Nursery tray are the best Nursery growing medium anyone can use. I pity those of you that speak against it because it is due to ignorance.

What the fellow suffered from was basically the following

1. He kept it in a place of little sunlight. The normal thing is to keep them under a net house

2. Too much watering. Watering the cocopeat he used, is quite tricky because they retain water for longer periods. I will advise that he spaces the watering to about once in 2 days

3. Cocopeat doesn’t have any nutrient inside of it except fibre. I will advise that he mixes it with dried poultry manure or better still compost and use foliar fertiliser in spraying the plants mixed with a surfactant like Super gro.

4. He should consider drenching if the plant leaves are yellowing. Which is the process where you dig a hole that can conveniently contain a tray, then cover it with a nylon and pour a solution of Potassium Nitrate mixed with water into it. Dip your Nursery tray with the germinating seeds into for 5 mins then remove.
You will find that your seeds become green again and germination rate becomes excellent

5. Those gangling and thing plants are struggling to survive because they don’t have any nutrients or inadequate nutrients. They won’t make it.

6. I laughed when Okoroemeka was talking about damping off. Obviously, he doesn’t know that you can’t have damping off if you use cocopeat, compost and foliar fertliser thus there is no need to use fungicide at all bc no soil is involved and as long as it is under a net house.

7. The Nursery tray is the easiest means to transplant bc with just a small push, the seedling comes popping out with the roots entangled with the soil. Who born damping off?.

8. I would advise you to buy your compost rather than making because of bacteria, fungi and virus that accompany those you make without quality control. Jubaili and several other seed sellers sell them.

Now instead of blaming Buhari, why not blame the person who inherited the foundation first? How come you skipped your clueless leader?

Omokiri is as clueless as his master. In a bid to vindicate his master, he ended up soiling him the more.

He said Gej wasn't president, but I remember clearly that he was the acting president as at the time.

If Jonathan was truly an agile leader, how will a member of the cabinet shut him out for 6months? That's a flimsy excuse that should be binned. It's shameful for a leader to admit that.

Who assented it without going through the office of a president? Obviously, his own cabals to include his shipopotamus wife—as described by Wole Soyinka— told the clueless man to overlook it.


And finally, I don't think APC made the judgment, rather, it was the court.
Never shall we have such a leader who doesn't have a say even in his own home.

Quit being melodramatic and tell us when GEJ was made Acting President?. Buhari messed up by not using the leeway GEJ created by paying off this out of court settlement fines.

3 sachet (75 grams) to 16 litres
4 to 5wks or when you notice the deficiency


used as a foliar spray or soil additive will help tomato and pepper plants grow and produce larger, tastier yields.

Late in the season use an Epsom salt spray to increase tomato and pepper yield and keep plants green and bushy; early in the season add Epsom salt to the soil to aid germination, early root and cell development, photosynthesis, plant growth, and to prevent blossom-end rot.

Epsom salt is not actually salt but a natural mineral compound of about 10 percent magnesium and about 13 percent sulfur—often referred to as magnesium-sulfate. Epsom salt is highly soluble and easily taken in by plants when combined with water and sprayed on leaves. As a soil additive, Epsom salt becomes soluble with soil moisture and is drawn up into plants through the roots.

A magnesium or sulfur deficiency in the soil can cause tomato and pepper plants to grow small and spindly, leaves to yellow between leaf veins late in the season, and fruit to be slow in maturing and ripening.

HOW TO APPLY EPSOM SALT TO PLANTS:

• Foliar spray during season. Add two tablespoons of Epsom salt to a gallon of water and use tank sprayer to apply the mix once a month substituting the spray for a regular watering. Use one tablespoon per gallon of water if you apply Epsom salt spray more often than once a month. Begin foliar spraying when blooms first appear.

• Sidedressing during season. Work one tablespoon of Epsom salt per foot of plant height around the base of each plant. Sidedress plants every six weeks beginning soon after leaves appear and continuing through the end harvest.

• Soil additive at planting time. Add one or two tablespoons of Epsom salt to the bottom of each hole before planting seeds or transplants.

MORE USEFUL INFORMATION ABOUT MAGNESIUM AND SULFUR:

Magnesium is critical for seed germination, production of chlorophyll, and fruit development; it helps strengthen cell walls and improves plant uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur.
Sulfur is critical for the production of vitamins, amino acids and protein, and enzymes.
Alkaline soils with a pH of 7 or greater and acidic soils high in calcium and potassium often have low levels of magnesium. Calcium and potassium compete with magnesium for uptake by plant roots—magnesium can be blocked from plant uptake by calcium and potassium.
Dolomitic lime which is used to raise the pH of acidic soils is rich in magnesium (46 percent calcium carbonate, 38 percent magnesium carbonate).
The soil additive Sul-Po-Mag (22 percent sulfur, 22 percent potassium, 11 percent magnesium) which is often added to alkaline soils should negate the need for Epsom salt .
Beans, peas, lettuce, and spinach produce good yields in soil with a low magnesium level.
A soil test will tell you if your soil is nutrient deficient. The cooperative extension service in your area or a private soil testing laboratory can perform a soil analysis.
Epsom salt is available at garden center and hardware stores as are most other soil additives.
Epsom salt gets its name from the town of Epsom in Surrey, England where the bitter salt was first produced from a saline spring.

And one of them has an Uncle in Eko Hotel, that was how he started supplying organic products. Please look into it. You will never regret it.

Truly, this net house thing is very correct. However, my friend did it and he is packing it up because Bacteria Wilt attack that visited him.

His customers are still on his neck to supply till date

My brother, it's from experience. That disease has shown guys real pepper. lol. But the day I go that trick, bye bye to that disease.

If you are doing organic, just take the pain to make permanent beds once with planks or supports. You don not make it again. See, if you have to limit it just to one plot, do it. You will harvest and get tired. Another trick is stake it. So, you use less land. I don't know the price of Ugu now, but I think you work towards getting pods for seeds. And by Nov - April next year, even it is one plot, just do it well sir..Ugu responds more to organic fertilizers than inorganic. You may just supplement with only urea and periodically NPK. But if I was doing it, it is going to be 100% organic.

Have you noticed that organically grown leaves have more long life shelf than inorganic? Hmm! That's to tell you that organic immune system, nutrients, and the quality of products are also superior.

Get 2 or three rabbits. Spray their urine. Ha! You WILL see miracle. You plants will be free of diseases and nice. But don't spray like some days to harvest, and try to wash your leaves before sales. lol.

It is well. Ugu is a nice business.

My brother, you seem to live in my head. It is all the plan I have for next year bc I am growing now to harvest the pods for Nov- April planting season.

I plan to used raised beds with drip, manure, vermicompost, rabbit urine and mulch and also get a carpenter to build a cast that will encapsulated the beds.

Obviously, I may have to plant corn in the middle to forestall this occurrence
