MasterTeeUSA:
I noticed you do not have a fence or metal protection. How do you know the boundaries to your farm? These are all recipes that can lead to massive loss.

For now I am using a leased farm from a friend who lost interest in farming and relocated to Canada.

There are trees at the boundary edges likewise survey pillars

JuanDeDios:
This is heartening to read. Thank God it's not all bad.

Hahaha.

Dshocker:
You were supposed to tag him, to help him grow, there are people here willing to invest in large scale farming.

We have plans to grow to large scale too so may not need the tagging.
One of the hard parts of business is the human factor and if that is sorted out, no need trying to lose such again

Antell95:
Mbok, i am also experienced in farm management incase you need extra man

Hahaha

Don't worry. Well noted.
I have a plan of expanding and may need extra manager

Kobojunkie:

Sisora:

Weldone. Farming no easy o. We dey here dey farm too

Will it make any difference than putting one per hole?

Yes, you are right. Farming is not easy

God punish that man

RTID:
You know the more annoying thing with 33+ Igbo men?

They technically don't even wait for you to give them an answer if they tell you their plans to marry you.

These people that God will help me to punish, will go straight to the girl's parents and let them know the intentions they have for their daughter, without the girl even knowing!

And of course, they will go and see your parents bearing gifts like bag of rice, tomato pastes, tubers of yams, Chasis, George, Hollandis, refined kai like ST Remy for your greedy father, one gallon of fuel and a fat envelope.

The man won't even inform the girl that he's visiting her parents ooo!

That evening, the girl will get a call from her greedy mother;

"Why didn't you inform us that your husband was coming, we'd have prepared something delicious."

You the girl would be wondering who, until they tell you it's one Emeka like that.

You'll go and confront Emeka. You tell him you've a serious relationship.

And that's where he takes it a bit farther.

Emeka goes back to your father's house with an engineer to take quotations for completing the roofing.

You either marry Emeka that coming Saturday or your parents will fight his battle on his behalf.

God will punish all you 33+!

Chaii

33+ Igbo guys to gbe bobo yi ni handicap.
I can feel your pain bro.
Na who collect your babe? Chinedu, Emeka or Chuckwuma?

HmmmmmmSad truth😥😥😥😥😥 This real-life story of Uncle Owusu, after living in the UK for 38 years and at the age of 71, Uncle Owusu finally relocated to Ghana this year—to live in his 6-bedroom mansion which took him 9 years to complete.

Apparently, now in Ghana and in his mansion, Uncle Owusu lives in the living room of the house while his caretaker lives upstairs in his huge master bedroom. This is because Uncle Owusu cannot climb the stairs without the help of another person. Even with help, it will take him 15 minutes to make the climb.

As such, Uncle Owusu has decided to stay downstairs of his mansion (in the living room) as all 6 bedrooms are upstairs. The house has a living room, toilet, and kitchen downstairs and 3 rooms on the first floor, and another 3 (including the master bedroom) on the second/last floor.

This is surely not how Uncle Owusu anticipated his retirement. But that is the reality of his journey. This will be the life of many other Africans living abroad—building mansions back home without caring about their old age.

In fact, if you are building a dream house for yourself to live in and by 50 years that house is not done, forget it.

Uncle Owusu almost wasted 38 years of his life doing menial jobs abroad hoping to go and retire back home in his mansion and enjoy life. Now, he has no life to enjoy and someone is really enjoying the mansion.

Like most aged persons, Uncle Owusu is not even able to enjoy a bottle of malt at his age—because that will shoot up his sugar level. Yet, he said he was working hard all his life to enjoy his best life which included eating and drinking the finest when he retires.

Now, he is only able to eat salads—and even that, without dressing. He cannot even chew any of the fine meat out there without his cholesterol sending warning signs.

How is this life and the great retirement? Yet, this will be the life of more than half of us.

The solution is to take mini-retirements now and enjoy your life and luxury now.

Life starts when you start.

Vision101:
The regularity of their income encourage them to be too comfortable. When they are in need they apply for loan.

Lack and uncertainty of your income will force you to think outside the box. You will plan and manage very well any income that comes your way.

You are 100% correct.
When you don't have a steady source of income, your survival instinct kicks off and on the long run makes you a better planner and financially more discipline

JealousCobra:
Have you applied fertilizer if "yes" what type pls, they are healthy. 😎

I bought bencut npk 20:10:10 but my manager advised that we should get notore npk for future use.
Thanks

The tomatoes nursery

1. Urea applied to the maize likewise NPK 20;10;10 we applied.
2. Fungicide applied to the tomatoes to prevent fungi attack when we noticed a symptom
3. Insecticide applied to the maize

Tomatoes transfer to prepared bed from nursry.

We had to plant them in a little hole dug at the top of the ridges to be able to conserve more water after raining of manual irrigating.

Pepper and tomatoes on 2 acres

I hired 3 yearly farm workers for the manager for the 20 acres farm though we are still going to use external workers later for one or two operations but it shouldn't be much.

Farm workers from cotonou at rate of 300k per year payable first week of december with a weekly feeding cost of 3,500 naira per week per worker

Our 10 acres maize farm.

1. Maize just sprouting after been planted in mid/late march

2. Over a month old maize

Our plan is to do 20 acres of farm - Maize, groundnuts, pepper and tomatoes and he was placed on 80k per month with accommodation during this first year trial period after which his salary would be raised if i see the outcome of the farm and performance.

First of all, i am grateful for this forum in getting and hiring a good farm manager.
My former manager frustrated me and i ran at loss last year but so far so good, the person i hired on nairaland has been faithful, loyal and hard working.

It is not an opinion but a fact that parents give birth to children. It is also not an opinion but a fact that parents should be responsible for their children.

What we are experiencing is a residue from the old african way of living.
We give birth without any plans hoping our family members will help us to take care of them.
Same thing with animals. We buy chicken, goats and dogs we can't take care of and leave them wandering around the streets looking for what to eat. What buy what you can't cage and take care of? ohhh, i love pets.
Same is with kids. Many can't take care of the kids they brought to life yet abusing a family member of not helping them to do it.

All this stupid kwara people that think all south west is like kwara.

Look at this one saying Muslim is the majority in south west. I don't blame you sha.

If you add Kwara to south west, I will agree to a large extent that Muslims would be slight majority in Yoruba land but if you minus Kwara, I think Christianity has an edge.
Though, after independence large percentage of Yorubas were Muslims but there has been a huge conversion rate from Muslims to christians in south west due to many factors

The greatest manager of all time Pep Guardiola was on his own dominating leagues in Spain and Germany.


England fans with their unrealistic sense of self started to dare him to come to the PL to do it.


My goat accepted the challenge and hasn’t looked back since. Farmers league

Iku pa e if you hate Pep
