The bible advise us to flee from temptation. You don't resist temptation u flee from it. But unfortunately, churches today allow temptation just bc they need members. Indescent dressing should not be allowed in the church in the first place.

2 Timothy 2:22-24Contemporary English Version (CEV)

22 Run from temptations that capture young people. Always do the right thing. Be faithful, loving, and easy to get along with. Worship with people whose hearts are pure. 23 Stay away from stupid and senseless arguments. These only lead to trouble, 24 and God’s servants must not be troublemakers. They must be kind to everyone, and they must be good teachers and very patient.

VeeBuzzer:
its becoming really alarming.
you forgot to add one major reason which is most women stop taking good care of themselves after marriage cos they feel theyve arrived, he has proposed so no need to do shakara.

weldone madam, another sissy will take him from you and you will be claiming he is cheating on you and start fighting sidechicks.
You see married women tying wrapper like grannies. I hate wrappers and will never use one single or married.

Married women should stop thinking theyve arrived and start working on their bodies!

All those things u mention will not keep ur husband from misbehaving. A he-goat is a he goat. I know a woman that dress like a prostitute but yet her husband was caught with another woman in the same yard. Character matters most in spouse selectn. If ur husband got attracted to u bc he saw ur unclothedness due to the way u dress, then there is a 99% chance that u married a he goat.

Back to what the op wrote, i agree with his points. Women have to execise to avoid obesity and the associated health problems - anthritis, diabetes etc.

Inspiring thread.

Nice writeup. Who knows where we can get marigold in Nigeria?

Lesgupnigeria:
You have nice agric forum.

Although there are some animal farming with less risky when compared with others,I guess integrating the less riskier ones with crop farming is far better than cultivating either crop or animal alone?right

Tnks.
Yes, and I'm seriously considering that.

akwonderman:
U can get Topsin or Zeb care from Jubaili. U can as well use Neem oil to go organic, neem oil can be order from Jumia. I guess this little piece does ans ur question. Thanks.

Yes it does. Thamks. Do you make use of systemic fungicide?

fluentinfor:
Excellent comment; however, I must add that it seems producing animal feed and fish fingerlings/juveniles/supplying of raw materials for production of animal rearing business are the aspects profit are. Fish farmers are complaining bitterly and many have closed up their businesses as a result of high production cost (too expensive feed). I do not understsnd why anyone thinks a business where feed is over 70% of the cost of production is profitable. You set up and every time you produce fish, you must spend 70% of the cost of production on feed. Logistics is there and others. So, if you are lucky, you get just 10% profit in 6 months. Gush! Except you move towards making your feed. 3 years ago, you only need to buy the raw materials but these days, fish farmers are beginning to cultivate corn, legumes etc themselves just to make cheaper feed. Is that wise? Mixed farming done with poor intention. Lol. Instead of using animal to grow crops, they are using crops to grow animal. Let them reverse it and they will see their foolishness. It's how the Nigerian economy is that dictates what to do and how to do it.

Look at crops. If you can get it right and you buy quality assest, you are on the right track. You may have challenges but when your cost of production is just low after set up. Except that crazy seed companies are increasing prices and reducing quality of seeds. I suspect some of them sell hybrid F2 instead of F1.

To set up crop farming with good and quality irrigation system might be tough. Also, to buy greenhouses might be expensive but as soon as you start producing, your expenses are low. It means you can bounce back easily if you hit any rock.

Another issue. Cucumber is just 45 days before you start making sales but you need to spend, spend and spend for months before you get one kobo from animal. God forbid your village people decide to act at the injury time. You know the story yourself.

I am going to be very straight forward. If you are new to Agric and you are small scale producer, consider using dung from animal or waste water from your fish to produce quality vegetables or fruits. Sit down, write a very good financial plan and work it out in a very good and reasonable ratio. You can do it yourself. Just pen down in a way you understand it and do not consult business plan consultants who are going to confuse you more.

Small scale farmers do not have the advantage of bulk purchases of raw materials which give commercial farmers the competitive advantage when it comes to rearing animal.

NOTE: This post is for small scale producers.

I agree with u. To make reasonable profit from animal farming (wrt poultry, fishery) u need to do it large scale. An interesting aspect of animal farming is ruminants/, where feed is almost free, what many farmers don't know is that u can grow ur own grass with or without irrigation and turn them into silage. That way rainy or dry season feed will be available.

Having experienced both, I prefer crop farming bc start-up capital is lower and roi high. I am basing this on layers/broiler vs cucumber farming. But the best form of farming is integrated farming where u combine crop and animal farming. You may even add biogas digester. U feed manure to digester to produce a flammable gas called biogas. You can use this for cooking or to power a dual fuel engine. The processed manure from the digester has more fertilizing power than raw or composted manure. U use that for your crops. By products from crops can be fed to ruminants. Chicken manure is also a very good protein source for ruminants. Integrated farming is what I'm aiming for.

As in demolishing their farm crops? What i need is actually farm land. I think some areas are usually designated by state governments for that purpose.

No, demolishing buildings.

Hallams:
Which pesticide is best for cucumber farming?
Is it compulsory to use urea or npk?

I don't think there was is a best. u just have to use a combination of systemic and non systemic pesticides and rotate pesticides with different mode of action to prevent resistance from developing.

Whether to use fertilizer or not depends on ur soil fertility. if u are farming large scale go for soil test. Limit the amount of urea u apply BC it has negative effects. Don't use it during flowering. u may use a little during growth but majority of nitrogen shud be in nitrate form. fertilizer that's high in K followed by P are good esp from flowering up.

Pavore9:
Ogbaru shoutld be good for your venture as it is neighbored by Onitsha and access to River Niger. Personally traverse any of their communities to search for genuine owners who are willing to lease out their land. I visited many of their communities such as Akili-Ogidi, Akili-Ozizor, Ohita, Odekpe, Ochuche Umuodu, Ossomala, Umunankwo, Ogwu Ikpele and must confess that Ogbaru is a food basket. Their sweet potatoes are exceptional.

Thanks.

At least 1 Hectre of farm land is urgently needed for outright purchase in either Anambra, Enugu or Ebonyi States. This could be government land or family land but it has to be available for outright purchase.

Drop a message.

Government land? People that bought government land at ozeh are regretting it BC govt is demolishing.

funso4life:
pls i need urgent reply ,i want to know any other crop that i
can plant with maize and cassava because i want to use
1hectare of land to plant maize and cassava on it am also
looking for any other plant i can plant with it ,which will
enable me to use chemical for weeding without affecting
any of the crops,kindly specify the name of the chemical i
can use.

Once u plant, be very careful how u use herbicides oo. If u have not done it b4, try it on 1/2 plot or less and wait for a long time to see the effect. For atrazine herbicide, if u apply it at the proper rate it won't affect corn or cassava. U can also use paraquat to control weeds that grow between the rows.

U need to get a curative fungicide, plug off infected leaves & emerging fruits that are infected. Yellowing of leaves can as well be attributed to deficiency of Nitrogen. Try planting a good hybrid seed for ur next planting & treat ur soil b4 planting. U can contact 08058173584 for ur hybrid seeds & how to manage ur cucumber farm. Thanks.

Pls can you give an example of curative fungicides and where to get them. Thanks.

From my little experience so far, agric.. is lucrative but if u don't have the marketing and production experience, it can be v risky. so take your time and save, do Market survey to find which section to key into, start small and learn or partner with a trusted farmer that has solid experience. That's one way to go about it.

Rubbish foolish stewpid dog no fit bark, attack or run from the forbidden snail speed serpent
(I hate snake sha)
If na to bite small pikin wey go buy kuli kuli d teeth go sharp

The Dog na bass stand dog!

Pythons get their food by ambushing prey. If u find yourself close to one, you won't know when it strokes u. They are slow to move but super fast in striking. Its not the dogs fault because these snakes have been known to kill lions, lionesses, tiger and even elephants. Among all the animals in this world, I never stop wondering why God created this monster snake. I would rather face down a lion than a big snake of this type.

@op, I hope the dog survived.

celebrities marriages these days no dey last. Its a pity. And they look good together

The divorce trend in america started with celebs. That's exactly what is happening here. Most celebs are actually working for Satan, consciously or unconsciously.

aariwa:
Go to Ogbaru .They are surrounded by lakes and rivers and their land is very fertile

..
Thanks. I just hope I can get genuine owners of the land.

I use http://www.smartweb.com.ng/?aff=808 (affiliate link). I have been using them since 2014. First yr they charged N4200 for hosting alone. From second yr they add domain cost of N4000aking total of N8200. You can pay direct into their bank Acc since they are base in Nigeria.

Does namecheap charge just $9.9 per yr?
