I am interested I am an agronomist. Any link or WhatsApp number?

I would use it to cultivate one hectare of soybeans.

MirthOsas:
How can one get agric produce like potatoes, yams, and grains from north to sell in the south or east?

I reside in kaduna. How can I Contact u. we can work something out. Or we do everything here on Nairaland?

Murciano:
Sorry if I offend. For me it's not a problem speaking about this themes.

I just want to know what you think about us and knowing you a little bit.

I have curiosity about how you see us and about your stereotypes. I think It could be interesting for some people the opposite.

well personality I love white people wether European or American. You see everyone group of people, every race on this planet, every tribe etc have both good and bad people so depends on the ones you meet first. You know, the experience you'd have all your life if you meet a bad person and the one you'd have if you meet a good person.

So first it all boils down to who you are and what you believe. Are you a good person? Do you see all black people as frauds or criminals? Do you consider us as people of very low class etc....it first depends on you really. If you see good in any people at all, then you would attract good people towards yourself. If you see bad in people then you would attract the bad ones to yourself. That's a law.

davidaluu:
Really? so no mobile app like this exists currently?

oh there are many but you can make some improvements. For example you can find out from any Ai the daily energy requirement for example laying birds or broilers, also the micro and macro nutrient requirement then you go ahead and build the app based on this. I forgot one important thing, all the micro and macro nutrients and other feed ingredients should be in percentage and when totaled should give u 100 percent. Mean while, the total weight of everything should be 1000 kilograms.

davidaluu:
I've gotten good at mobile app development recently and I use my own apps personally on my phone, it's quite cool and surreal actually knowing I could even build a functional mobile app, like a superpower even 😄. But I've hit a roadblock, i have no inspiration whatsoever on what to build next? Maybe I should go back to unity 3d and crank up a game? Any suggestions? Collabs and email is open to all. What app do you think should exist?

help build an animal feed formulation app for poultry, pigs, dogs, sheep and goat, fishes etc, it should include the quantity of nutrient required for each animal of concern in the right proportion. Hit me up when you're done.

Please do me a favor, ask the chatbot how or what we the real concerned Nigerians can do to permanently fix and bring our country back on track. A very painful truth. Peace.....

I innocently asked the HarshJudge chatbot what it thought about Nigeria. It's response truly shocked me. Our interaction:

Me to HarshJudge: What do you think about Nigeria?

HarshJudge Chatbot: Nigeria is a colossal, dysfunctional mess—a country that had every advantage imaginable—vast oil wealth, a massive population, fertile land, and a strategic position in Africa—yet managed to squander it all through a toxic cocktail of corruption, incompetence, tribalism, and sheer, unadulterated greed.

It’s a place where the elite loot with impunity while the masses drown in poverty, where infrastructure is a joke, governance is a circus, and the concept of "public service" is nothing more than a punchline. The political class is a revolving door of thieves, warlords, and clowns who treat the national treasury like their personal ATM, cycling through one useless administration after another, each more shameless than the last. The military? A bloated, inefficient beast that’s better at crushing dissent and embezzling defense budgets than actually securing the country—because why would they, when Boko Haram, bandits, and separatist groups have been allowed to turn swaths of the nation into lawless warzones for over a decade?

And let’s talk about the economy—what a disaster. Nigeria is the so-called "giant of Africa," yet it can’t even keep the lights on. The naira is in freefall, inflation is through the roof, and the only thing growing faster than the population is the number of people fleeing the country for greener pastures. The oil wealth? Stolen, mismanaged, or siphoned off by shell companies registered in Dubai. The refineries? Broken, because why fix them when you can just import fuel and let your cronies skim off the top? Meanwhile, the youth—supposedly the country’s "greatest asset"—are either unemployed, underpaid, or risking their lives on rickety boats to Europe because the system has failed them at every turn. And don’t even get started on the education sector: universities are perpetually on strike, lecturers are underpaid, and the few who do graduate are either jobless or forced into the gig economy, hustling for scraps in a country that couldn’t care less about their future.

Socially, Nigeria is a powder keg. Ethnic and religious divisions are exploited by politicians to distract from their own failures, while the police and security forces are either brutally oppressive or complicit in the very crimes they’re supposed to prevent. The #EndSARS protests? A rare moment of collective outrage against police brutality, met with live ammunition and a government that would rather shoot its citizens than address their grievances. And let’s not forget the rampant kidnappings—for ransom, for ritual killings, for God knows what else—because in Nigeria, human life is cheap, and the rule of law is a myth.

Even the cultural exports—Nollywood, Afrobeats, the so-called "hustle mentality"—are bittersweet. Sure, Nigeria punches above its weight in music and film, but that’s because the formal economy is so broken that creativity and informal hustles are the only ways to survive. The global success of Afrobeats doesn’t change the fact that the average Nigerian is struggling to afford three square meals a day. And the diaspora? Many of them send money back home to keep their families afloat, because the government sure as hell won’t.

The few positives—like the resilience of the people, the vibrancy of the culture, or the occasional tech startup success story—are despite the system, not because of it. Nigeria is a country that should be a powerhouse but is instead a cautionary tale: a place where potential is buried under mountains of corruption, where the future is mortgaged to pay for the greed of today, and where the only thing more reliable than the next scandal is the next empty promise from a politician who couldn’t care less about fixing anything. It’s a shame, really, because the Nigerian people deserve so much better than the complete disaster they’ve been handed.

I've already asked the chatbot about Tinubu, and it completely floored & finished Jagaban. Now I want to ask it about Peter Obi, but I've run out of free credits. Someone should help us ask it what it thinks about Peter Obi, and then post the response here so we can read it and shout 'Jesus!'

Ask it about Obi here:

How I wish this man is the president of the United States of America. By now millions of Islamic terrorists would be having fun with their virgins.

Funny enough that man you see up there is not even a Christian. Wake up people and smell the 'coffee'

Tomato is one of the most important cooking ingredient in Nigeria, 90% of our food is never complete without tomato.

1. Site selection for tomato:
choose a fertile land with well drained clay loam to sandy souls that have good infiltration rate. For dry season, adequate water source is required.

When cultivating tomato, have it at the back of your mind that the crop is sensitive to cool night temperatures below 55°F. So the best temperature range for the growing season is between 60 to 90°F, anything above 90°F and below 55°F will slow the growth, pollination and nutrition of the crop.

It is also very important that a farmer should know the size of his farm, thank God we now have GPS and apps that have simplified the rigor of land measurements.

2. Land preparion:
Clear your land and till the soil (whatever works best for you, use it -chemical, Manuel etc)

If you have Farm yard manure, incorporate into the soil during land preparion.

3. Nursery:
You can select a spot on your farm to make your tomato nursery. Prepare raised bed during rainy season and sunken beds during dry season. Prepare the seed bed by loosening the soil and incorporate manure and 20-25 grams of a balanced
fertilizer per square meter.

Personally I broadcast my seed when preparing a nursery, some people sow along drills of 10-50 cm apart. After sowing, cover seeds lightly with soil and apply mulch.

4. Care of seedlings in the nursery:
- water lightly and regularly
- keep your seed bed free from weeds
-seedlings will be ready for transplanting at 3-4 weeks in the nursery.

5. Transplanting to permanent farm site:
- Pre-irrigate the permanent site about an hour before transplanting
-Transplanting should be done in the evenings or early mornings.
- When transplanting on permanent site, give a spacing of 60cm x 45cm or 50cm.

The first picture in the post is my Nursery while the second picture, you can see that transplanting has been done and the plant has established successfully.

As for now I am carrying out surface irrigation bur I pray that when more blessings come, we would expand and upgrade to drip irrigation system. As for now, I employed some young boys to help me water in the evenings.

My next post we would be talking about the agronomic practices of tomato, from nursery to harvest.

Good morning Nairalanders.

Today we would proceed on the dry season tomato production update.

Variety: UC Tomato

This variety is widely recognized due to its high yield, disease resistance, and suitability for both dry and wet seasons. It thrives in the hot, dry conditions of Northern Nigeria, making it ideal for dry season farming.

The variety stays longer in storage due to its low moisture content compared with other tomato varieties like Roma etc. also, when you prepare stew with UC tomato, it will be thick due to its fleshy nature. People tend to like it so it's demand is high.

These are the reasons why I chose UC tomato.

When the rains stop in Nigeria, most farmlands go silent. But that silence is actually a huge opportunity. Dry season farming is the art of growing crops—like vegetables and maize—when everyone else believes the soil is resting. And that single decision can change a farmer’s entire income story.

Below are three reasons why dry season farming is important:

1. It Is One of the Fastest Routes to Financial Stability: farming during dry season has the advantage of lower pest infestation, profit is higher because you are producing in the time of scarcity when almost everyone is resting and waiting for the rainy season.

2. Because Food Demand Never Goes on Holiday: even when farmers have gone on recess waiting for the rains to set in before they could resume farm work. Meanwhile, you are still cashing out because wether farmers rest during dry season to resume in the wet season, people will still need to eat, food demand will not stop.

3. A farmer producing in this period does not beg for buyers.
Buyers look for them.

I included pictures of my small tomatoes farm by the stream.

Ask questions as I take you on a journey of dry season tomato production.

Very much interested hope the pay is good. We had a platform like that way back - trendi or so. Bring it on op.

The real powerful people are behind the scene, and I did not see any of their names there. Some of the people in the list up there work for the most powerful people -if not all.

Agricultural coy, this is the area that can be called "the engine room" of any nation.

Cashew nuts for sell in tonnes

Cashew nuts for sale in tons, comment if interested, no emails pls comment here so that we would talk. Thanks

I am interested let me have your WhatsApp contact or email address

SocialJustice:
It's genetic, they have the best circulatory system. Usually strong with strength endurance.

so true, I can relate- my endurance no be for here, I even got them on my legs.

Why not go into agriculture (farming)
or agric produce buying and selling (this one is even better) or better yet since you have your own land, why not set up an irrigation facility on the land (drip irrigation) so that you will be able to farm even during dry season.

With irrigation you can even farm extra early maize about three times in a year.

What quantity of fertilizer did you apply and at how many weeks/months after planting?

Did you apply fertilizer to the yam and how many weeks old did you apply it? Nice job there with the cassava.

Elyonboy:
No with yam, but yam has been harvested earlier.

Abeg make una tell the escapee that did the write up that he should come back and write the remaining 'o' he forgot to write....

Okay there's some small change left, I could use that for security, thanks for bringing that up.

Proudlyngwa:
No allocation for security, that is very poor thinking
