.
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.

colorsofrainbow:
Yorubas were mocking Igbos over Nnamdi Kanu's arrest.
They were quick to forget that Nnamdi Kanu was holding peaceful rallies just as Igboho is doing now before the army tried to kill him in his home.
Hence frustrated the trial.
If Fulani could tag ipob Terrorist as reason for trying to kill Nnamdi Kanu then,maybe my Yoruba brothers/sisters may as well start seeing Sunday Igboho as a terrorist too afterall that's what they too were calling Nnamdi Kanu
A lot of APC miscreants from the Yoruba extraction will be confused now.
We are always quick to forget that it could be us someday.The day is here with us.

.
They might not be yorubas oo.

Rissamenti:
I disagree.

I can guarantee you that if this traditionalist is elected governor, he will be the most honest and hardworking governor in the nation's history.

Insofar as he is a conscientious traditionalist, not the negative type who work evil, he will be bound by his traditional deities to do right by his people.

If you don't know the history of the nobility and uprightness of your people, go and do some research.

.
Nothing good can come from Satan. The good u see him do is an illusion. He attach conditions before he gives you anything. And human sacrifice is one of them.

makemoneywbsite:
Their own go worse pass because they no fit fight, killer herdsmen already waiting in their forests while they dance owambe on Kanu. The day they'll remember them, Benin La Republique no go contain them. I laugh in Swahili. Let them keep dancing to Fulani music. Ilorin will be child's play.

.
.
Don't be deceive. They might be fulanis posing as Yorubas.

hedonido:
That's the most important point. Having ruled for so long and fortified themselves with the resulting benefits of controlling state power, they accumulated enough resources that empowered them for this sort of war.

That's the critical difference between them and the Igbos here for instance. If anything, it's the Fulanis that are in a comparable position.

.
May God save us from the Fulanis. Look like we have a long journey ahead.

okoroemeka:
make sure that the short suction hose is close to the water as possible and if your pump is 2 inches don't expect much pumping capacity.

.
The suction side is very very close to the water. It is 3 inches. I just think it is the steep slope.

okoroemeka:
no type of pressure from a 5.5 hp pump can burst a drip line because if it comes into the main line with force the pressure will be quickly dissipated when it starts to flow into individual drip lines and start dropping immediately, moreover do your pump need to be so high to pump water,it will stress the engine and consume fuel like camel drinking water, something must be wrong with the pump,there is a site we did pepper we use to pump water from a river to the extreme end of the site and the total length of discharge hose was one 300 ft layflat(2inches),2 roll 1 inch flexible 300ft and one roll 3/quarter flexible at 150 ft,so total of discharge head is 750 ft up a slope,but it is a brand new water pump.

.
The pump is good. Just that the slope at a point close to the pump is very steep.

okoroemeka:
there is no need to use overhead tank for drip irrigation,why pumping water to tank and use gravity to supply water to 500 meters of drip line,while you can connect the pump direct to the drip line and supply 1000 meters with water at same time, reducing work time by 50%,and it does not cause any problems,we have used borehole pump(1 hp and 2hp)and also 5.5 engine pump with no issues.i will show the processes through this current one plot project,we are trying to prove a point that going big in cucumber farming with poor management does not always pay off than working the size of land you can fully comfortably manage without any shortcut.it has been proven that a properly managed one plot can give same production like a poorly managed 3 plots.

.
When you used a 5.5hp pump, was the speed setting very high? I'm asking because in my farm, I have to pump water from a valley. So the setting must be at the highest position before the water can move up the hill. I'm afraid this might burst the drip lines. What do u think?

okoroemeka:
yes,neen oil is another excellent bioalternative but the only problem is getting a batch that is not adulterated with groundnut oil,just like they mix sharp sand with furadan, wormforce is tampe resist to an extent and it protects against almost all surface insects and caterpillars for roughly 20-30 days.

.
There is a commercial product called neemsol. N5500 per liter.

Chioma99:
please is water leaf farming really profitable?

.
In the dry season, yes. Rainy season? Hell NO. It is better to farm a variety of veggies than just one - ugu, scent leaf, lemon balm (curry), utazi etc.

okoroemeka:
1500 meters drip tape available freshly imported from isreal,all spacing available and sizes,#60k per roll of 1500 meters,get ready for the dry season and get your irrigation materials now it is cheap, call/WhatsApp 08119942049

.
God bless u bro. will contact u when ready.

willybaby:
remember we've already added enough manure to the land, so at week 2 we will be topping with npk 20 10 10 mixed with DAP and next Urea.. npk gives it an early boost, manure takes over, urea finishes the good work.. if we are wrong please feel free to recommend something more beneficial

.
Looks good. But make sure you apply urea before tassels start appearing. Otherwsise it will be too late because nitrogen demand has become low. N at that point will cause lodging (many will fall under wind or rain) and poor yield.

willybaby:
thanks boss.. please ur contributions, criticisms, suggestions and referrals all is needed on this thread..

.
How is ur fertilization schedule like?
