AgricultureRe: Is Ugu Farming This Useless? by dragon2(m): 10:05am On Oct 15, 2017
Also,as an above poster said,a cut is every 2 weeks and the ugu gets more vibrant and grows more branches as you cut provided you feed it with fertiliser.

Thank you. It was the same woman who brought the buyer that got the seeds for me @ 60K. 12 paints buckets @ 5K each
She collected 20K for planting
I paid N20k for clearing and ridge making

To the other enquirer, i have a bore hole on my farm. I didn't use fertiliser at all, i plan to go organic
This is disheartening, 20k to plant one plot? Was it rocket science?20k for clearing and ridging/plot? Wow.
I was arguing with a labourer to ridge my ugu plot for 2.5k and we settled at 3k.Do you know that 20k is a month salary in some places and day pay for labourers ranges between 2k and 3k?
Clearing a very bushy plot should not be more than 5k,and that is 100x100 feet.

Nigeria is already constitutionally restructured into 36 States.
Their Autonomy was proved by Shagari/Awolowo two-third of 19th States by our Erudite Chief Richard Akinjide.
It is the nature of Dictatorship to exercise Power from the Top to the Grassroots. Our Military took this chance then because it was in their nature to do so.
Democracy is the Power of the Grassroots to search by themselves for all their Requirements.
The Grassroots, that is, The States, in their Local Governments, produce all they need and contribute to a common front(Laison for the Marketing of their wares.
Buhari is a trained Soldier used to giving orders and dictating. But Nigeria has no time any longer to retrain him for Democracy. He can't get it.
The NASS and The Constitution are Surrogates of each other. The NASS should amend the Exclusive List to restrict F.G to Foreign Affairs matters, Military and Treaties.. Any arrangement different from this is just postponing the Doomsday!??
I feel Nigeria is structured into an oil producing company,with the President as chief rent-seeker and the Governor as his assistants.It is the foreign companies that search,drill,pump,ship and sell the oil.All we do is collect monthly royalties and share.That is why we do not have productive people in position of power,but rather violent thugs and thieves everywhere.The day Governors have to work for their daily bread rather than wait for 'monthly allocations' (a word if you google is reserved to nigeria exclusively all over the world)is the day the nation will move forward.

Edit.
Federal allocation not monthly allocation
PoliticsRe: Calls For Restructuring Suspicious –presidency by dragon2(m): 11:31am On Oct 14, 2017
If I recall correctly the 2014 National Conference was about restructuring the country.So it is false to say the former party in power did nothing to restructure Nigeria.

Modified
If anything,elements of the current party in power even rejected the moves by the PDP to restructure using the confab report.

Aluminium phosphide. It can be lethal to humans as are most pesticides,but more importantly it turns into a gas.Do not used in an enclosed space within living quarters/areas.Read more about it and how to use.

AgricultureRe: Maize Farmers Come In Here by dragon2(m): 5:18pm On Aug 14, 2017
stagger:
Why do you give such advise without specifying if this spraying should be done before or after planting? Glyphosate is non-selective and will cut down both crop and weeds!
If the farm is properly marked out someone experienced with spraying glyphosate can control the weed.If and a big if,the cassava and yam is mature and the glyphosate concentration is correct he can't kill it,esp if the leaves of both the mature cassava and yam are about 3 feet above the grass.If they are still very young he can't.However,I repeat,good marking of a farm is Paramount when using chemicals in farming.
AgricultureRe: Maize Farmers Come In Here by dragon2(m): 8:50pm On Aug 12, 2017
cooldipo:
Hello House, I am experimenting with farming this season. I am practicing mixed cropping on a plot of land and I have been using non selective the chemicals for weed control until someone recommended Astracine for my farm with cassava, Yam, maize.....i mixed a peak milk tin measure with 16 litres water and sprayed on a section of the farm but when I visited the farm, the weed has taken over... ... Meaning Astracine wasn't effective. I went back to the 'recommender' and he suggested I should add a little 24d (measure - the cap) to the Astracine and water to get the right effect...... Pls what is your opinion on this?
From what I know,atrazine is effective against weed seeds and seedlings.I.e it kills small weed seedlings and prevents their seeds from sprouting. If you want to spray an overgrowing field mix the attrazine with glyphosate.Try to keep the mixture agitated,or better yet spray glphosate first then after the weed go down spray atrazine to prevent germination of weed seeds.

PoliticsRe: FG Suspends Oil Exploration Activities In Chad Basin by dragon2(m): 6:10pm On Jul 27, 2017
Leaders that can't plan ahead,even if they successfully discover oil,it will take 10-15yrs to bring it on stream that's 2027 at least.By then oil producing Norway has banned all petrol and diesel vehicles with France and England following in 2040.....


After France announced earlier this month that it plans on banning new petrol and diesel cars by 2040, now the British government is about to announce similar measures this week.

The move is in reaction to increasingly poorer air quality in the country and especially in urban regions – like London.

A government spokesman said via The Guardian:

“Poor air quality is the biggest environmental risk to public health in the UK and this government is determined to take strong action in the shortest time possible. That is why we are providing councils with new funding to accelerate development of local plans, as part of an ambitious £3bn programme to clean up dirty air around our roads.”

Previous versions of the plan were believed to be too weak to have any impact, but the government has now reportedly updated it to include the ban by 2040.

It’s later than others’ goals, like Norway aiming for 2025, but those are just goals while France and UK seem to be actually talking about a government enforced “ban” on new car sales that are not “zero emission vehicles” like electric vehicles....
