Too much for you to understand?

Creation and right application for maximum impact

Very curious that you found the word ' creating' all of a sudden important in the conversation.

I thought the capacity to redirect without creating the 'resources' mattered most to you m0rons.

Epileptic 'professional understander'. Idi0t!

Creating resources or redirecting resources?

What about rice paddy pls¿

People from those two neighbouring States are very mischivious and cunning!. I have done some projects there.

Grant writers on which thematic areas?. Subject matter?

So sorry!. Wow!

Great Man!

TheGiftedOne:
What a monumental waste, a colossal loss and gigantic setback. Many times I have wished I was never a Nigerian. I've been to and savoured the serenity of Tinapa. A project that decorated the advert signposts of the EPL even before it took off proper. You could imagine the sum total it took to pull such a stunt. Something that provoked the NTA into complaining that they would have accepted far less an amount to do the same advert (something I beg to defer on anyways)

Cross Rivers state is home to nature. From the thick and densely populated rain forests that houses thousands of rare and endangered species to countless food crops, mountains, rivers, quarries, beautiful landscapes etc.

Most countries in Europe cannot boast of one tenth of what that state is endowed with. But here we are.... It is #Painful to say the least.

Great post!
I have worked on the biodiversity conservation of Cross River. Funny enough, project funders are foreigners (GEF).

Nigeria is eh eh....!!

DoggoneDogg:
This part should not be swept under the carpet.


How did a woman in Lagos end up in Ibadan unconscious? Afonjas, na una I dey ask

.

But isn't this a great question for everyone? Not your narrowed Narrative though.

What kind of Country is this?. What makes humans different from animals is the concept of time and longevity of life. Animals understand concept of space only and Can die any time.

Why have we become Animals in Nigeria?

All the regions are similar except Abuja metropolitan City. Different forms of uneasiness and latent fear. Cultism, terrorism, ritualism, robberism, kidnappism, yahooism. Very hopless regions, have lived in all of them. Now currently in the region of skullism. People just get killed needlessly in all the regions

Nope

When?
How long?
How much?

Did she have permissions to use these materials?. This is an endless lawsuit for her foolishness in the developed world.

Congratulations!

Go to Benin Airport, locate the airline and get your cash instantly. Find an available alternative on the 3rd you said?

Wow!. Great!

Agricultural land clearing or what?

If the answer is affirmative, why would you clear a farmland whose fertility zone (depth) is just the topsoil to few centimetres down? (A ruler length)

Your bulldozer will permanently ruin the farmland. Stop it now.

Thank you!

Really?

I rejected your work at a Job interview, I was told The group is not interested in the field cultivation but Bringing people to put in money,that's all.

How can you make money for investors when you lack capacity to produce these crops?

Turmeric, Ginger and Pepper in Ogun and Ekiti? You are a joke!

Fraud!

What do you think?

Wow! Snake girls!
Have you called all your girlfriends?
Are all of them still alive?

God bless Anambra and the entire south east states

Many thanks for the education.

Please what is the meaning of:
1. Uba?
2. Andy?

I have 12 bags of organically produced soybean.

I just got into a town in Southwest Nigeria and bought:
1. Brand new 6kg cylinder with burner N 15,400
2. Gas fill N 4,100
3. Running around N 2,500
Total: N 22, 000

When I enter Market to buy things, I blew up N 18,000 at a go.

The N 50,000 relocation allowance all gone at the speed of light.

Things are pretty expensive now

saliubello:
1. Cassava variety (I didnt ask the supplier, its deliberate though)
2. Brands of pre and post emergence herbicides (Well, the post emergence was those with glyphosate as active ingredients, the pre emergence was those with atrazine plus a 3 bottles of glyphosate in a 200litre drum. there was a reason for this.. the farm was still bushy after reploughing.
3. Any fertilizers used? No fertilizer was used. but i do know the variety planted didnt give good cassava yield.



My take on cassava varieties, because I am not the one selling to the processor directly - it makes no economic sense to buy the advertised varieties and another person reap more from the added financial stress.

Ok. Great!. Many thanks!.
But I doubt if glyphosate based post emergence was used, except your cassava variety was resistant to glyphosate.
Maybe a selective herbicide was used, just maybe.

But I really appreciate you and the information provided. Thanks again!

saliubello:
Last year 2020, I intended to plant cassava on an expanse of land - the total land area was 14.5 acres. That was MAY 2020, but the day the tractor operator went to re-plough the land, the tractor developed a fault. It was a big fault that would require alot of money to fix. They only were able to replough just six acres before the damage happened.

I planted cassava on the about six acres in May 2020. other things that I paid for on the farm.
---- Cassava Stems purchase
---- Payment for Planting
---- Purchase of Pre emergence chemical
---- Payment for labour to spray the chemical
---- First Hand weeding when the pre emergence chemical failed.
---- Second weeding
---- Post emergence chemical purchase
---- Labour for application of post emergence chemical
---- Chemical and application of post emergence again.
---- Miscellenous expenses.

Total expenditure amounts to N320,000 (Three hundred and twenty thousand naira)

At HARVEST: I harvested[b] 7 (seven pickup loads of cassava)[/b] and each was sold at N150,000 (One hundred and fifty thousand naira) . This was the selling price as of May 2021.

Total revenue from six acres cassava farm as of May 2021: N1,050,000. One million and fifty thousand naira.

This is great!

Could you share details about your inputs?

1. Cassava variety
2. Brands of pre and post emergence herbicides
3. Any fertilizers used?

Many thanks

SNAKE BITE

Snake bites should always be taken seriously. Though some are dry bites, which aren't as dangerous and will likely cause some swelling, others are venomous bites, which, if not treated carefully and quickly, can result in death. Always seek immediate medical attention if you've been bitten by a snake, as it could be a matter of life and death.

What are snake bites?

Snakes bite either to capture prey or for self-defense. But since there are so many different types of snakes — including both venomous and non-venomous — not every snake bite is created equal.

Different species carry different types of venom. The major categories include:

* Cytotoxins: Cause swelling and tissue damage wherever you’ve been bitten.
Haemorrhagins: Disrupt the blood vessels.

* Anti-clotting agents: Prevent the blood from clotting.

* Neurotoxins: Cause paralysis or other damage to the nervous system.

* Myotoxins: Break down muscles.

Are snake bites dangerous?

The answer might seem obvious, but there are two different types of snake bites. And one is more serious than the other:

* Dry bites: These occur when a snake doesn’t release any venom with its bite. As you’d expect, these are mostly seen with non-venomous snakes.

* Venomous bites: These are much more dangerous. They occur when a snake transmits venom during a bite.
Poisonous snakes voluntarily emit venom when they bite. They can control the amount of venom they discharge, and 50 to 70% of venomous snake bites result in envenoming or poisoning. Even with a less serious type of bite, every snake bite should be treated as a medical emergency — unless you’re absolutely sure that the bite came from a non-venomous snake. Any delay in treatment following a venomous snake bite could result in serious injury or, in the worst-case scenario, death.

Scientific classification of snakes

* Kingdom: Animalia
* Phylum: Chordata
* Class: Reptilia
* Order: Squamata
* Clade: Ophidia
* Suborder: Serpentes

How common are snake bites?

According to the World Health Organization, between 4.5 and 5.4 million snake bites occur each year and 1.8 to 2.7 million of those cause illnesses. It’s estimated that at least 81,000 to 138,000 people die each year from snake bites.

Even so it is best to treat all snake bites as a medical emergency unless one is certain the bite came from a non-venomous snake. Any delay in treatment following the bite of a venomous snake could result in death or serious injury.

What are the symptoms of a snake bite?

If you’re bitten by a snake, your symptoms will differ depending on which type of bite it is. If you suffer a dry snake bite, you’ll likely just have swelling and redness around the area of the bite. But if you’re bitten by a venomous snake, you’ll have more widespread symptoms, which commonly include:

* Bite marks on your skin. These can be puncture wounds or smaller, less recognizable marks.

* Sharp, throbbing, burning pain around the bite that you may not feel for a little while after the bite. You may also feel pain all the way up whichever limb was affected, such as in the groin for a bite on the leg or the armpit for a bite on the arm. But not everyone feels pain. For example, a bite from a coral snake can be almost painless at first, but still deadly.

* Redness, swelling and tissue damage, or complete destruction, in the area of the bite.

* Abnormal blood clotting and bleeding. Severe bleeding can lead to a hemorrhage or kidney failure.

* Low blood pressure, a faster heart rate and a weaker pulse.

* Nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, anxiety, headaches, dizziness and blurred vision.

* Difficulty breathing, or in serious cases, complete loss of breath.

* Increased production of saliva and sweat.

* Weakness in your muscles and numbness in the face or limbs.

If you have an allergic reaction to a snake bite, you could suffer from anaphylactic shock. Many of the symptoms are the same or very similar to the ones listed above, but more severe. But there are a few additional symptoms, including:

Difficulty speaking due to extreme tightness in the throat and a swollen tongue.

Young children may become very pale.
Constant cough and/or wheezing.

Which snakes are venomous?

There are two major groups of venomous snakes:

* Elapids (cobra family): There are about 300 venomous species of Elapidae, including kraits, mambas, coral snakes and sea snakes. They have short fangs in the front of the upper jaw and strike downward, followed by chewing. Their venom is mainly neurotoxic but it can also harm body tissue or blood cells. If a cobra bites you, you can die from paralysis of the heart and lungs very quickly after the bite.

* Vipers: There are more than 200 species of Viperidae, which includes pit vipers (like rattlesnakes, copperheads, water moccasins, or cottonmouths) and Old-World vipers (adders). They have long, hollow, venomous fangs attached to movable bones in their upper jaw. They fold their fangs back into their mouth when they’re not in use.

How are snake bites treated?

First and foremost, seek immediate medical attention. This means calling emergency services as soon as you can, because even if the bite isn’t that painful initially, you still need to treat it as if it’s potentially life-threatening. Properly identifying the snake can help with the treatment, though it’s very difficult to do so. Also be sure to take the following steps immediately:

Remove any jewelry or watches, as these could cut into the skin if swelling occurs.

Keep the area of the bite below the heart in order to slow the spread of venom through the bloodstream.

Remain still and calm. If you can, roll over to your side and rest in the recovery position. Moving around a lot will cause the venom to spread faster through the body.

Cover the bite with a clean, dry bandage. Try to use a pressure immobilization bandage if you can. This type of bandage should be tightly wrapped around the bite. Then, wrap another bandage around the entire limb, so that it’s immobilized.

While these are all useful precautionary measures, the ultimate treatment for a snake bite is antivenom. Try to get the victim of the bite antivenom as quick as possible. Knowing the size, color and shape of the snake can help your doctor determine which antivenom is best for that particular situation.

Fun fact: Antivenoms are created by immunizing horses or sheep with the venom of a particular snake. Their blood serum (the watery part of the blood) is then processed, as it will contain antibodies capable of neutralizing the effects of venom. There are antivenoms that treat bites from a specific type of snake (monospecific antivenoms) and also those that treat bites from a number of snakes found in a particular geographic region (polyspecific antivenoms).

The antivenom will be given either in an injection or through an IV (through a needle in the arm), so that it can take action as quickly as possible. While either of these methods may produce side effects, they’ve proven to be the most effective. One of those side effects is serum sickness disease, which can appear four to 10 days after receiving the antivenom. If you experience any of the following symptoms, you should contact your healthcare provider or doctor to ask about serum sickness disease:

Rashes.
Itching.
Joint pain.
Fever.
Kidney failure.
Swollen lymph nodes.

What shouldn't you do when treating a snake bite?

A snake bite can cause people to panic and act irrationally. Even so, there are certain things you should avoid doing immediately following a snake bite, including:

Don’t pick up the snake or try to wrap it up or kill it, as this will increase your chance of getting bitten again. Even dead snakes can bite.

Don’t apply a tourniquet.

Don’t cut into the wound at all.

Don’t try to suck out the venom.

Don’t apply ice or use water to submerge the wound.

Don’t drink alcohol.

Don’t drink beverages with caffeine.

Don’t take any pain-relieving medication, such as ibuprofen

What happens after you're treated for a snake bite?

In most cases, you’ll need to stay in the hospital for at least 24 hours, so that doctors can monitor your blood pressure and overall health. If your blood pressure dips below a certain level, you may need IV fluids (through a needle in the arm). If the bite caused a larger-than-normal loss of blood, a blood transfusion may be necessary.

Since antivenom has potential side effects, you’ll also need to be monitored. Because of this fact, only trained medical professionals should give antivenom to patients. The amount of time it takes to completely recover depends on the kind of snake bite. In most cases, children can recover from a bite from an adder in one to two weeks. Most adults take more than three weeks, but 25% of patients need anywhere from one to nine months. Pain and swelling are common long-lasting effects in the area of the body where the bite occurred.

How can you prevent a snake bite from happening?

Depending on where you live (or choose to vacation), you may or may not have a hard time avoiding snakes. But if you're going to be in snake territory, there are some useful tips to avoid getting bitten:

Always be careful where you put your hands and feet. Don’t reach into unknown spaces and holes, or underneath objects without first being sure a snake isn’t hiding underneath.

Don’t lie down or sit down in areas where there might be snakes.
Wear high-top leather boots when walking through or working in areas with dense vegetation.

Do not attempt to capture, handle or keep venomous snakes.

If you’re going camping, take extra care around swamps and other places where snakes typically live.

If you come across a snake, slowly back away from it and avoid touching it.
