safarifarms:
I think you are right. I just found that stink bug, leaf footed bug & squash bug look quite alike.
You really know much about insects.

Thanks.

.
Wlcm. I'm yet to dedicate time to learn about pests and beneficial insects.

oz4real83:
maybe u are the one that need to read carefully to understand better. He mentioned Frank and Bright as the fathers of Mitchel.

.
He assumed that since the child was not his, then it belong to the men that slept with his wife.
.
But all these musicians that are calling Jesus, u guys don't know wot u are doing. U sing sexually immoral songs that is leading thousands to hell, and u are calling Jesus. Jesus don't know u people if u don't repent.

ThatFairGuy1:
But his action isn't COMMONSENSICAL.
You accuse someone of f indecent dressing yet you're undressing her. What's sense in this

.
He shudnt have undressed her though. Beating would have been enof. When the society don't shun evil, things go haywire. How can someone in her right senses dress like a mad prostitute? I blame the entertainment industry and pastors that won't preach against it.

Depressedkidd:
We should all remember that wearing clothes is not African culture. We only started covering up when Europeans came in and brought their fancy covered up dresses, brainwashing us with their culture and religion into abandoning our own ways, forgetting them, and worst of all viewing them as the foreign things.

.
So we shud go back to idol worshipping, human sacrifices, killing of twins and other evils? They did not brainwashed us with their religion, science or technology. The gospel of Christ is the best thing that happened to Africans.

safarifarms:
Thanks for this. I've been looking for the name of this insect that ravaged my cucumber farm without success in getting the name.

These ones might be leaf footed bugs https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-opera-mini-android&channel=new&q=leaf+footed+bugs&oq=leaf+footed+bugs&aqs=heirloom-srp..

SilverNorGold:
My brother, read properly - one of the reasons, not all.. And no, we won't tolerate such nonsense here. Nigeria is not US/UK.. And who told you God is not angry with America? How God operates is different. And how he chooses to punish each country is different too.. Don't expect a monotonous punishment for all.. Everyone will be punished uniquely and at the appropriate time.

When God Almighty punished Israel for their sins - sins committed by some Israelites - there were many nations living in worse sins, at the time, that were not punished alongside the Israelites. However, it doesn't mean God wasn't angry with them.. Just that their time of reckoning wasn't ripe.. At some point, God even commissioned some of those sinful/pagan nations to punish the Israelites - who were more righteous than they - for the sins committed by some/most of them.. Does that mean God was happy with those sinful/pagan Nations? No.. His ways are different..

Same thing is happening to Nigeria.

Just say you don't believe in God and move on..

God bless Nigeria.

.
God bless u bro. A mod deleted some of ur posts but I have restored them. It really pained to see how people support evil these days - including people who call themselves Christians.

ennyhola:
The headline is misleading
1)Weed legalization: He said since weed is making alot of money in the blackmarket, that is good for Nigeria to embrace the business part of cannabis like other countries.
Imagine legalizing and regulating weed? The government will generate Billions.
Are people not smoking it lowkey daily?

2)Embezzlement: He said “I won’t lie that I won’t embezzle, i will embezzle but i will do something great as a president”
You all are hypocrites if you think otherwise, which of these presidents don’t embezzle? They embezzle and still rub it on people’s faces!

.
When u embezzle, others will follow suit and destroy those "good things" u wanted to do. Even as the president, u are not more powerful than some people u lead. They will blackmail u and pull u down if u try to stop their own embezzling. Leading honestly is still the best.

Everything Paul said was from the only spirit. Christ did not teach everything before going to heaven that is why he said a comforter is coming and he will teach u and direct u. So the holy spirit is a God which searches the heart of Jehovah and reveal it to paul

.

That guys don't believe in other parts of the bible. He also, don't see anything wrong with immodesty, dirty jokes, dirty songs etc. U will argue with him tire. Very very unreasonable person.

alBHAGDADI:
There is no Bible verse that says you need something in addition to believe before you get to heaven. But there are tonnes of verses that say believe is all you need.

Here you are saying we need believe and work, even when the Bible says work is not needed but believes/faith alone.

Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves : it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works , lest any man should boast

The Bible went further to state that even someone who does no work but believes will be counted as righteous.

Romans 4:5 KJV
5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.


Sadly, you are trying to twist this clear scripture.

.
U still don't get it. Romans 3:28-31
.
For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.......Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law.
.
Born again = 1st. faith in Christ Jesus + 2nd. Change in conducts, work, commandments
.
Faith comes first!! Work follows!!
Faith justifies u, not works! This is the formula God have set for salvation.
.
Jesus once said "if u luv me, keep my commandments"
Bible also says "work out your salvation with fear and trembling" Road to heaven is not easy!
.
If u continue to sin in ur flesh, u will end up on hell. Don't allow some deceivers here to mislead u. There are tons of bible passages that say we shud live a holy and righteous life in the flesh and spirit. But no time to post them.

1 John 3:6-10
No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God. By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.

What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?

We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. ...

okoroemeka:
well from my observations the best time to plant tomatoes and have less disease problems is dry season,but the best time to harvest and sell at a higher price is rainy season,we will be planting all year around if it works

.
Thanks. I pray it work out well.

Kobojunkie:
Being born again has absolutely nothing to do with your outward appearance or your conducts as a person.

.
I remember u clearly. U were the "Christian" that don't see anything wrong if people go naked, sing immoral songs and crack dirty jokes. U are just out to deliberately confuse people and if u don't repent, U will experience God's anger. Arguing with u is useless. Everyone shud just mark u and see the deceptive thrash u post.

kayuseful:
New birth often leads to a change of conducts, however, a change of conducts IS NOT the new birth. There are many who have quit all those things you mentioned but aren't born again.

.
I agree and we are saying the same thing. New birth MUST come with change of conduct. Some people think that only their spirit can be born again, not their flesh.

alBHAGDADI:
I will advise that you go back and read the article very well. But before you do, let me explain a few things about the article.

It says our parents gave birth to us, and God gives birth to us when he saves us. When God gives birth to us, our spirit changes. It becomes like God. Since God doesn't sin, that spirit he gave birth to which is in us can never sin.

Now, our parents who gave birth to our flesh are sinners, so what they give birth to will also sin. That is why we sin in the flesh, but not in the spirit which God gave birth to.

When we die, that sinful flesh rots away while that perfect spirit goes to heaven. During the resurrection, we get given a new body which is actually the same old one but made new. This new body can never sin like the old one. That way our perfect spirit United with a perfect body and we become perfect with no ability to sin. That will happen during the resurrection.

So, you can now go back and read the article then come back and read this post.

Thank you

.
In this our lives, we are not perfect. But we work towards perfection. We mature from spiritual childhood to spiritual adulthood. So u cannot say that it is only the spirit that matures and not the flesh. The grace of God shud not be distorted.

alBHAGDADI:
This is garbage doctrine. Sadly, you have no verse to back up your claim that heaven is only for those who obey the commandments of Jesus.

Look, heaven is for those who believe in Jesus, whether they obey his commandments or not. The below verse says even if you do not work, as long as you believe in Jesus, that faith makes you righteous and eligible for heaven in all certainty.

Romans 4:5 KJV
5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

To support the above verse, the below verse which speaks on salvation says works don't save us but faith. Isn't that exactly what the previous verse is saying?

Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast

But you claim we must work by obeying God's commandments otherwise no heaven for us. Sadly for you, you have no verse to back it up.

What we need is believe which gives us eternal life according to John 3:16. But a wicked liar like you has said that the eternal life means eternity which can be spent either in hell or heaven. You will never find any verse to back that lie up with.

Eternal life means life that never ends and with God which we get for believing in Jesus. Those who don't believe in Jesus get death.

Romans 6:23 KJV
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

What is the death stated above? It is the death in the lake of fire.

Revelations 20:14 KJV
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.


That is the death those who died without Jesus will face again, while those with eternal life get heaven and paradise. Don't you know that the opposite of life is death, yet you foolishly think eternal life can still lead to death. Thou fool, something eternal is everlasting. Therefore, eternal life has nothing to do with aà.

.
Some corrections to make. Believing in Jesus alone will not take u to paradise oo. Belief shows itself in action. Jesus said: If u luv me, keep my commandments. You just single out some bible vses and misinterpret them. Let me give u the correct meaning of that Romans 4 u quoted:
.
God is simply saying that if u want eternal life, u must believe in His Son. That MUST be the first step. After that, work follows. Work IS NOT the first step. Do u get it? Read Romans 3: 28,31 and u will see that faith comes first b4 work.
.
Many Christians are perishing 2day because of this false teaching. Christ came so that he will put away sin in ur flesh and spirit.

kayuseful:
Obviously most commenters didn't read or understand the post.

In case you didn't get it: Born again is not the same as change of conducts. It's not "all those things I used to do, I do them no more". Born again means to BELIEVE IN JESUS AS YOUR SAVIOUR

.
So to only believe without changing ur conducts is born again? I am beginning to understand why people who claim to be born again will dress like prostitutes, sing immoral songs, womanize and play with all sort of sins. May God help u people.

For sometime now I can't update regularly about our tomatoes adventure because of two reasons one is dry season stress and two is a complete crash in my health,back to business,the tomato nursery was a success as we had 80-90% germination,we also made use of used satchet water bags as an alternative to nursery trays,a water sachet company nearby is quite happy for us to take away their trash,the tomatoes Padma f1 are 4 weeks today and we will start transplanting tomorrow,pls we will appreciate any advice from tomato farmers on the way forward

.
Thank God for your recovery. Is dry season the best time for tomatoes? I thought it is rainy season.

Harcles:
Some Corrections please.

Romans 3:23

Says all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God and it continued in Romans 5:12 saying

12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned.
Then in verse 19

For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.

This is the need why all men needs to be saved, because sin and death was passed on to us from Adam.

THE BIG QUESTION IS SHALL WE CONTINUE IN SIN.

I will answer this just as Apostle Paul in Romans 6:15-16

15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!

16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness.

Paul said no to this question and he started putting light to the question in verse 3 and 4.

3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?

4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should WALK IN NEWNESS OF LIFE.


I emphasized the last word , that we should walk in newness of life.


To clarify what he meant he said in verse 7 that he who is dead is free from sin, meaning that a dead man doesn't sin.


So he gave us a mind therapy in the following verses.

11 Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.


13 And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.


This is a duty which is also called renewing of the mind.

You may ask, but is it possible not to sin..

I found that answer in Galatians 5:16-17

16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.

It is not possible, I say not possible for anyone to walk in the Spirit and still fulfill the lust of the flesh. He must either be walking in the Spirit or in the Flesh at any seconds of time.

So this gives an answer to what Paul meant by saying we should walk in newness of life.(the mind therapy and the walk in the Spirit).

For understanding on walking in the Spirit read Romans 8:5.

Before I conclude, these are some key points to know....

Hebrew 4:15

15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.

It says Jesus Christ was tempted like us and was without sin.

1 Peter 2:21-22

21 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:

22 “Who committed no sin,
Nor was deceit found in His mouth.

It also says that Christ left an example for us to follow and that he committed no sin.

1 Corinthians 9:26-27

26 Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air.

27 But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.

Apostle Paul also spoke about his efforts towards subjecting his body.

Key points to know that God is not a joker.

Revelation 21: 7-8

7 He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. 8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

2 Peter 2:4-10

4 For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment;

5 and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly;

6 and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly;

7 and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked

8 (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds)—

9 then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment,

10 and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority.

This is my humble correction to the subject.. I will not fail to say that should incase you sin ...

1 John 2:1-2

My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

2 And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.

Chapter 1:9 says if we sin we should confess our sin and He is faithful and just to forgive us...

This is the truth we should walk with and to guide us. there is a sin also that will not be forgiven..

Hebrew 10:26-31

26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries.

28 Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

29 Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?

30 For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. And again, “The Lord will judge His people.”

31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.


This is after you have obtained the knowledge of the truth and you kept it aside and continue to galavant in your sin or continue enjoying your old sinful life before you accepted the free gift of righteousness by believing in Jesus Christ, then wahala dey wait for you for judgement day...

God bless you all and I urge you to run this race with certainty like Apostle Paul , also take the mind therapy seriously...

Bless

.
God bless u. This op and his misleading message self. No wonder the kind of born agains we see these days.

tega2luv:
My personal take on this is that, let's learn not to judge and if you have a basic training on christianity then I believe you know the things christ forbids us from doing, weda born again or not we still commits sins unknowingly, the bible also said judgments is of the lord, help if you are at an advantage, live a peaceful life while you still draw air, and always pray for forgiveness,may God help us.

.
The bible never say we shud not judge rightly. Because once u tell sb to repent from sin, u have judged his action b4 saying that. Rather, the bible condemns harsh judgement that has to do with the eternal state of a person. We shud not tell people that they will go to hell without adding "if u don't repent". We are also not allowed to judge sins we are guilty of.

Mercisharelove:
To summarise

Romans 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.


I pray it makes sense to a lot of you

.
Oh my God! What ERROR are u people promoting. Read bible in CONTEXT! Try different translations to get the correct meaning. This passage is in no way telling u to sin in ur flesh and serve God in ur spirit.
.
2 Peter 3:15-16
15 Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him.

He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.
.
Don't destroy urself with misinterpreting the bible. Christ came in human flesh to get rid of sin in ur human flesh. Nobody that is born of God will continue to sin wilfully in the flesh!

fiddzy:
sir but u know laraforce gold has imidacloprid as a.i, its just that white fly r highly regenerative. according to tip from bozz okoro. prevention is better than cure in whitefly control. using series of different a.i to confuse whitefly eg acetamiprid, imidacloprid, abamectin ,d.d force as early as 2nd week of planting every 5 days is good.

.
Ok, thats gud. He shud spray both top and bottom of leaves. One research shows that when u do this, u will control whiteflies successfully without using too many pesticides at once. He shud also clear surrounding bushes with herbicide.

good morning.
pls I am having problem with White flies on my farm.
I have sprayed a mixture of laraforce gold 50ml and sniper 10ml per knapsack twice within an interval of 4 days but they keep increasing in their numbers when I checked them again this morning.
pls help me urgently

.
U are not using the right pesticide. Go for Abamectin (punch) or Imidacloprid (Imiforce or Courage) or emmamectin benzoate (Caterpillaforce or Hallakat). Irrigate well. After irrigating, dig few inches into the ground in several spots. If it is not wet, irrigation is poor.
.
Least I forgot, cover both top and bottom of leaves with the pesticide. That's how u deal with stubborn pests.

DamnnNiggarr:
Proverbs 26:4-5 – Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes.

The self-confident fool thinks too highly of himself and his opinions, and he shares them freely. How should a wise person deal with him? First, remember that giving him honor is no more fitting than snow falling in summer (Proverbs 26:1). Praise and respect will only confirm him in his conceit. So how should you deal with a talking fool? The advice in 26:4-5 seems contradictory.

“Do not answer him according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself,” that is, do not engage him on his own terms. During Jesus’ last public teaching in the Temple, Sadducees came to Him making fun of the Resurrection, with a story about seven brothers who each married the same woman as each brother died in turn. No children were born to any of the brothers. So, they asked, “In the resurrection, when they rise again, whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife.” If Jesus had answered according to their folly, he would have tried to answer the question, who would have her as wife – the first, the last, her favorite? Answering that question would have drawn Jesus into their foolish thinking. It would be like trying to answer such queries as, “What was God doing before He made the world?” “Can God make a square circle?” “If God is glorified by forgiving sins, should we not sin often?” “When did you stop beating your wife?”

You cannot answer a fool according to his folly, or you will be like him, but you should answer a fool according to his folly, so that he won’t be wise in his own eyes. Jesus answered the Sadducees. “Is this not the reason you are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God? For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. And as for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not God of the dead, but of the living. You are quite wrong (Mark 12:24-27).” The Sadducees were answered. In front of the crowds, Jesus exposed their foolishness, and a scribe congratulated him. “Teacher, you have spoken well (Luke 20:39).”

The wise person will know how to apply this proverb, refusing to be drawn into silly questions, which Paul told Timothy to avoid (II Timothy 2:16-18, 23), yet answering opponents with gentleness that exposes their folly, so that they might have a chance to escape and come to know the truth (II Timothy 2:24-26). Only a fool reads Proverbs 26:4-5 and pronounces it self-contradictory!

The problem with Nigeria is hypocrisy. Religious people that doesn't obey their book.

I can't remember seeing any screen shots. B4 u link 2 monikers 2gether, look well because u are likely to be wrong. Only the site owner can do that correctly to an extent but still, it won't be 100% correct because IP changes and scammers can hide their tracks.

Those of u supporting this evil, remember it will return back to u some day.

Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.

They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.”

But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.

But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

2 Peter 3:3-
