jesusjnr2020:
Really?

But what he said is not different from what I've heard even from some nairalanders who preach the same gospel. I even made a similar thread of nairalander who shared similar thoughts. That one justified adultery in marriage because of so-called grace and finished works of Christ.

.
I'm not saying that some will not believe it. But they will be few. But as time goes on, many might believe - esp if u look at the ways parents raise their children.

jesusjnr2020:
The saddest thing is that many would accept it because that's what they want to hear.

They don't really care if it's the Truth or not.

.
Nigerians may be highly immoral, but I don't think they will accept this one oo.

It is only the most foolish of fools that will believe this one.

Do u know why Africa is so backward? They tend to leave everything for God or juju. Our rain makers are using satanic power to hold or send rain. And satan will give conditions that will hinder ur progress.....

OhiOfIhima:
I don't watch and I don't condemn... After all the saga in the house, someone will be able to pull his or her family out of poverty. That's my take.

Changing life is my priority.
God change mine please.

.
U will condemn it if u know what that eye symbol represent. 666 is fast approaching.

Very good development.

Nice one. Self employment isn't for everyone.

amc:
When oil be $100, exchange rate was N180, but when oil is less than $65, exchange rate is N498. Do the maths, that's if you understand basic arithmetic.

I thought buhari once said he doesn't know what is subsidy?

Train up a child in the way he/she shud go, parents won't listen. Instead, they fold their hands and allow celebrities to influence their children. U will always reap the consequences on earth, or in hell. May God use this to make them repent.

ekerensima:
if may farm was filled with only grasses, contact herbicides will be an option, this will only reactivate the now dormant broadleafs(they bear suckers) glyphosphate has given them pause already, maybe athrazine will help me.

.
Ok. Try it and update us.

CertyAgroAllied:
It's actually anti spam bot. I posted here on my thread and same thing happened. Once I do now, I might still get ban.

I'll Post below you now

.
Stop very long posts. How many people will read that.

Help out please! I get ban on Agriculture section and nairaland in general for day whenever I post by anti-spam bot.

Whereas I do not spam, I only update my thread (FORTNIGHT).

It has happened two times consecutively

.
U went to other sections that are not agric-related and spam. So a mod there banned u.

ekerensima:
There is a weed on my farm than resemble sedges. their roots have the same ant-like smell, the problem is, my cir are between 3 - 4 weeks old when they started germinating, so I sprayed in-between the rows with glyphosate, now dey died very well, abt two weeks in, another set germinates, now it got me thinking, I've got to get my hands on pre emergence herbicides, if they are compatible with glyphosate will be a bonus

.
pre emerg. herbicides mainly deal with germination weed seeds, not already germinated weeds. Why not use paraquat? It will be safer.

ekerensima:
we just dey On our own, if not for Internet maybe Na only our backyard we for dey farm. I for like create thread for just pesticides, make senior men like Una show us the way

We are all learning.

ekerensima:
na my plan be that oooo as I harvest na one carton straight, I neva get any trouble with them Sha. to buy retail don taya me, at leat you pay for 10-11 and get 12

.
That's the best oo. Farmers from different states shud form groups that purchase pesticides in bulk and share.

okoroemeka:
7am to 3 pm

. Ok, thanks.

okoroemeka:
completely sold off,only monalisa f1 is available

.
This monalisa f1, is it the type people regard as Hausa cucumber?

okoroemeka:
variety is cu 999,the chicken manure was brought last month and left outside the sun and rain, hopefully the power has reduced,#2k for daily hire now

.
Pls clarify. The daily pay is from what time to what time?

Daughters of Jezebel. Judgement Day is coming.

Uniswap:
But why was David still the apple of God's eye after sin?

Finally , Grace is different

.
Because he always repent after sinning. Many Christians are not like that. In fact, many will not even agree with u that their sin is sin. Eg, how many ladies 2day will agree that immodest dresses are sinful? How many Christians will agree that dirty Jokes, dirty songs and movies are sinful?

Emempaul:
Are there test organic herbicide in Nigeria

.
No. But weeds can also be controlled with mulch and by using drip irrigation in the dry season.

livingchrist:
It is sin that get people to hell but all have sinned so by nature we are all going to hell but God gave us Jesus to save us so that through him we can be washed from our sin and clothed with his righteousness.

.
U are clothed in Christ's righteousness does not mean you won't put in effort to live holy and righteous. I hope u agree. We were saved for good works.

bassey25:
Please, what's the spacing for planting pepper

.
60cm.

dedons:
please where can I get scent leaf and waterleaf stem to buy

.
Buy scent leaf from the market and plant the stem. Find waterleaf anywhere, uproot and plant. When they seed, the place will soon be overflowing with new plants.
.
ADDITION: U can also plant the waterleaf stems you bought from the market. But make sure u don't allow them to flower. Harvest regularly, else, the whole farm will be full of them and u will see them as serious weeds.

Rissamenti:
You are mentally colonised to the worst possible degree.

First off, if you want to talk about ''human sacrifice'', the best religion to start with is Christianity.

The Christian church and its followers have slaughtered and enslaved billions of people throughout history, in the name of God.

The Inquisition, the Spanish Inquisition, the Crusades, the colonial invasions, including the murderous invasions which turned your grandpa christian, and hence your dad, then you, the trans Atlantic slave trade, were all Christian-driven atrocities that destroyed countless millions of lives.

HOW DARE YOU begin to compare the puny, occasional virgin sacrifice to God that took place in A FEW African societies of old, perhaps numbering a couple thousand in a century, with the countless millions massacred by christianity across the world?

HOW DARE YOU?

Christianity and Islam's hands drip with the blood of billions of innocents.

How dare you purport to cast African religion as violent against such colossal Crimes Against Humanity perpetrated by Christians and Muslims from history through till this day?

This is what colonial brainwashing does to you. It makes you see things upside down. Good is bad and bad is good.

Here is some history of Nigeria when traditional religion held sway. This is straight from the Guardian UK Newspaper:

https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/mar/18/story-of-cities-5-benin-city-edo-nigeria-mighty-medieval-capital-lost-without-trace

''Benin City was also one of the first cities [on Earth] to have a semblance of street lighting. Huge metal lamps, many feet high, were built and placed around the city, especially near the king’s palace. Fuelled by palm oil, their burning wicks were lit at night to provide illumination for traffic to and from the palace.

When the Portuguese first “discovered” the city in 1485, they were stunned to find this vast kingdom made of hundreds of interlocked cities and villages in the middle of the African jungle. They called it the “Great City of Benin”, at a time when there were hardly any other places in Africa the Europeans acknowledged as a city. Indeed, they classified Benin City as one of the most beautiful and best planned cities in the world.

In 1691, the Portuguese ship captain Lourenco Pinto observed: “Great Benin, where the king resides, is larger than Lisbon; all the streets run straight and as far as the eye can see. The houses are large, especially that of the king, which is richly decorated and has fine columns. The city is wealthy and industrious. It is so well governed that theft is unknown and the people live in such security that they have no doors to their houses.”

In contrast, London at the same time is described by Bruce Holsinger, professor of English at the University of Virginia, as being a city of “thievery, prostitution, murder, bribery and a thriving black market made the medieval city ripe for exploitation by those with a skill for the quick blade or picking a pocket”.

African fractals

Benin City’s planning and design was done according to careful rules of symmetry, proportionality and repetition now known as fractal design. The mathematician Ron Eglash, author of African Fractals – which examines the patterns underpinning architecture, art and design in many parts of Africa – notes that the city and its surrounding villages were purposely laid out to form perfect fractals, with similar shapes repeated in the rooms of each house, and the house itself, and the clusters of houses in the village in mathematically predictable patterns.

As he puts it: “When Europeans first came to Africa, they considered the architecture very disorganised and thus primitive. It never occurred to them that the Africans might have been using a form of mathematics that they hadn’t even discovered yet.”

At the centre of the city stood the king’s court, from which extended 30 very straight, broad streets, each about 120-ft wide. These main streets, which ran at right angles to each other, had underground drainage made of a sunken impluvium with an outlet to carry away storm water. Many narrower side and intersecting streets extended off them. In the middle of the streets were turf on which animals fed.

“Houses are built alongside the streets in good order, the one close to the other,” writes the 17th-century Dutch visitor Olfert Dapper. “Adorned with gables and steps … they are usually broad with long galleries inside, especially so in the case of the houses of the nobility, and divided into many rooms which are separated by walls made of red clay, very well erected.”

Dapper adds that wealthy residents kept these walls “as shiny and smooth by washing and rubbing as any wall in Holland can be made with chalk, and they are like mirrors. The upper storeys are made of the same sort of clay. Moreover, every house is provided with a well for the supply of fresh water”.

Daily street life in Benin City might have consisted of large crowds going through even larger streets, with people colourfully dressed – some in white, others in yellow, blue or green – and the city captains acting as judges to resolve lawsuits, moderating debates in the numerous galleries, and arbitrating petty conflicts in the markets.

The early foreign explorers’ descriptions of Benin City portrayed it as a place free of crime and hunger, with large streets and houses kept clean; a city filled with courteous, honest people, and run by a centralised and highly sophisticated bureaucracy.

At the height of its greatness in the 12th century – well before the start of the European Renaissance – the kings and nobles of Benin City patronised craftsmen and lavished them with gifts and wealth, in return for their depiction of the kings’ and dignitaries’ great exploits in intricate bronze sculptures.

“These works from Benin are equal to the very finest examples of European casting technique,” wrote Professor Felix von Luschan, formerly of the Berlin Ethnological Museum. “Benvenuto Celini could not have cast them better, nor could anyone else before or after him. Technically, these bronzes represent the very highest possible achievement.”

What impressed the first visiting Europeans most was the wealth, artistic beauty and magnificence of the city. Immediately European nations saw the opportunity to develop trade with the wealthy kingdom, importing ivory, palm oil and pepper – and exporting guns. At the beginning of the 16th century, word quickly spread around Europe about the beautiful African city, and new visitors flocked in from all parts of Europe, with ever glowing testimonies, recorded in numerous voyage notes and illustrations.

Has your Christian/Islam post colonial Nigeria been able to create any society like this?

.
Hmm. If u are the type that sees many "Christians" as Christians, then u are making a big mistake. Talking about development, Christian missionaries have done a lot. And Christians are doing are a lot.

ekerensima:
na the same thing for me ooo, k for like test other systemic herbicides apart from glyphosphate

.
I've not tried any other systemic for now. But I have them in mind. In the long run, I'm looking at the doing things more organically.

RisenJoe:
You are indeed an nkita ara and if you don't have anything to say then shut up


You didn't condemn what the fulani leaders said but here you are opening that smelly stinky bottomless pit of a gutter in your head that you called brain to think out this trash.



Real igbos stand with yorubas cos we are all in the same south but what most southerners don't know is that it's hard to differentiate between an Igbo man from a Yoruba man facially, am an Igbo man but when I speak Yoruba most people around won't agree that am an Igbo man...

So the fight is against the south, it doesn't matter where you come from in the south... From south south to south east to south west every one is feeling the heat of this fulani menace......



Even middle belt sef is not left out, they've endured the highest brunt of this calamity to befall on mankind... That was why Nigeria security apparatus killed that their guy(I've 4gotten his name) .... so as to give the fulanis a soft landing for their atrocities against the Indigenes of Benue state....

LET SOMEBODY TELL BUHARI HANDLERS THAT WE ARE KEEPING THEIR RECORDS FOR THEM ALONG WITH ALL THESE SERVICE CHIEFS AND HEAD OF SECURITY AGENCIES AND POLITICIANS COMPLICIT IN THE KILLINGS GOING IN THIS COUNTRY.


Shame on that ediot under my post..... Big shame on him....

.
Nice. Let's unite the South and middle belt.

rottenPussy:
These kind of news does not make sense. Any technical oriented person with enough money to by parts can assemble any car.

To think the assembled car is not even on par with the state of the art car designs

He won't pass as my project student with this.

Let him attempt to make a light bulb or even the smallest car part from scratch and I would gladly pass him for just attempting to make something from scratch-- not all these assembly and stuff.

.
Can you list things you've produced from scratch?

ekerensima:
so how many liters of water do you spray for 1acre

.
Haven't calculated that.

ekerensima:
this is the result i use to have some yrs back,btw what brand are you using?

.
Any brand available and cheap, mainly Force up and Uproot.

ekerensima:
this is he experience I got from one acre corn farm, I've dumped 7 bottles of glyphosphate(yes and two before which far failed woefully)
I sprayed one bottle to 75litrs delivered by a 20liter jacto sprayer, with a fine nozzle(at high pressure it produces mist) as you've guessed,it failed.
licking my wounds I switched to 60liters to 1liter of Forceup® delivered by a 16Liter striker sprayer @250ml to 16L (this one produced tiny droplets like dew and even bigger with minimal chances of drift, I used it perfectly well in spraying glyphosphate between my rows of corn with 1 incident per 2000)

Am I overdoing it or am I in the right track, I would also like to try my hands on other systemic herbicides (contact herbicides are off limits for me.

Follow manufacturer's recommendation. I use 10ml/L for grass weed and 16ml/L for hard-to-kill, broadleaved weeds.
