Ok, This is what I got for Sinach's 'Chosen generation'.

Key C Pretty simple this one, hope it's what you're looking for.

F......................C
We are a chosen generation
G............................................Dm Em
Called forth to show His excellence
F.........................C
All I require for life, God has given me
G..........................Dm Em
And I know who I am

[Repeat]

This is basic but should cover the song. The babas can add the string gymnastics grin

I used the 5th and 6th root notes to arrive at the above. To get the chords on other keys, you'll have to transpose.

Edit: Don't mind the dots, NL doesn't allow for much spacing between texts.
Thanks a lot. I'll lk into it. SB borrowed my guitar.

@bolded that's great man cool

With bar chords and 5th and 6th root notes it should be possible to strum these songs. See this quick tutorial jayriginal shared.



Hope this helps but if not, I'll see which of the above songs I can get the notes and share here.
Thanks I'll check it out. But pls still share the notes of any song u know.

came accross this thread a year ago when i was still learning newly to playing guitar, i thought the thread was dead then, but am glad am seeing a revival.
i now know most of the basic chords like the GCDEm, A &Am chords and can play preferably any song of any progression on this.
problem is, am stock on this as i don't know what else or what stage to move next to, cause i dont have a tutor to guide me. initially when i first picked up the guitar, my goal and passion was to be able to play my favourite songs on the guitar. now that have archieved that i feel like its mission accomplished, but it has now become boring and i want to learn something new.(i play mostly strumming)
i will appreciate any suggestions on what next i should learn how to do with the guitar. sorry for the long post.
start learning the major and minor scale for soloing. also learn the cycle of fifth that tells u the sharps in a scale. guitar lesson world.com

”there is sth that makes me come into ur presence, my helper"
" am walking in power, am walking in miracle, I live a life of favor, 'cause I know who I am"

This one is a hoe not a gospel singer.

We all know God looks at the heart, but if truly your heart is clean you will be careful about the image you project to others by how you dress.

We are human beings, we can't see the heart (atleast for the first impression). So if you know you have a good/holy heart, dress in a way that projects the kind of heart you have.

A very nice reply. What some people don't know it that when u lead others to sin, u're also sinning. Its not just about our relatnship with God. Our r/s with our fellow man matters a lot to God.

@Op, if u want to sell very well, one of the strategies is reviews from ur customers. Get them to take a picture in front of their plantations in return for one favour or the other from u. That is when people will believe u more.

A similar thing happened to my cukes. The disease gradually wipe out all of them. I think it's bacteria wilt or so.

I'm not selling in sacks oo. Fortunately, I got a temporary deal with some supermarkets and some roadside fruitsellers since Shoprite said I should hold on for awhile. I sell per piece based on the size, meanwhile the smallest of my fruit is about 10inches, so I range the price between #60 - #100.

However, my first fruits are not so impressive due to pest infestation caused by the constant rain but I'm giving them the fight.
..
Pls tell me how one can sell to shoprite. Is their price better?

fnx alot farmtech, i really appreciate ur response, despite the fact dat it's late, at least u still replied me. one more thing still baffles me bro. bfore i venture into this poultry business som pple says wen they start laying well, their production wld buy their feed and also that same amount of money u used for their feed wld be ur gain , i:e 50-50 (50% for their feed and the other 50% is the farmers profit) hw true is dat?
secondly my layers re currently 29 weeks and their %prod is 80% is this normal? more so they re still laying medium eggs and i sell each crate at #630 for those that are buying in large quantity nd #650 retailers, after deducting expenses am left wit #4500 each day (i.e my daily profit is nt the same as my daily expenses)
..
U still need patience. Egg size will still increase so far as u feed them well. The profit u make will vary base on percentage lay and the price u sell. I don't know if their is a fixed ratio for expense vs profit.

Hello farm tech, av read alot of ur post, dey re really really really really really really helpfull and knowledgeable.

Am a graduate of college of agriculture (ND awarding cert) nd studied animal health and production, this ma first tym into poultry business, nd its layers i bought 1000 (point of lay) @ 14 weeks could u pls share wit me ur practical experience by answering the below questions

THEY ARE CURRENTLY 18WEEKS OLD AND 1003 IN NO

Que1: how often should i deworm my layers and what is the best drug to use, cos i heard some drugs do affect their production?

Que2: Do i really need to administer antibiotics before they start laying, even when nothing is wrong with them

Que3: How many times shld i feed them and how many times should i rob their feeders daily

Que4: they re currently 18WEEKS old, is 3 bags of grower feed enough for them

Que5: when they start laying, how many gram of feed should a bird eat and is it ( the gram of feed/bird/day) constant throughout their laying cycle till they become old layers

Que6: how many crate should i expect at 20weeks and how much should i sell each crate of egg cos pple av been hanging on my neck

Que7: As an expertee what other advise would you give me as a beginner

GOD BLESS FARMTECH

LOOKING FORWARD FOR YOUR RESPONSE
..
Sorry for the late reply. I hope it's nt too late. I've been off NL for a while now.
1. On floor syst, u deworm evry 2-3 months. On cage it can be evry 3-4mnths if ur birds have no contact with droppings.
2. Give antibiotics when u anticipate illness or when they are over stressed. I gave mine at least once per mnth even when nothing is wrong with them.
3. Feed 2x per day and turn their feed as often as possible. This applies to caged layers. It encourage them to eat more.
4-5: there is a sample feeding chart that I hav on my website, but unfortunately the site is nt currently active. So google for layers feeding chart to get the info
6. On cage syst, u can expect up to 90% lay if u follow good practices. Egg prices are high now, so find out the current price from farmers in ur locatn. I currently sell unsorted crate for N750. The first eggs will have small sizes and so their price will be lower. That's the size that egg roll sellers and Mee tea people like.

My advise is that u keep proper records and learn from ur mistakes. And hav plan to expand.

AgricultureRe: My Cucumber Farming Experience In Lagos by FarmTech(mod): 8:46pm On Aug 31, 2016
I planted cukes this yr but disease wipe them off after about 100 harvest. Some insect pests were prevalent in my area this yr and when the cukes started flowering, I stopped spraying insecticide to save the bees. So the pests were free to do whatever like. What a foolish mistake. My watermelons too are dieing out despite pest control. Someone told me it was due to too much rain, that I shud hav planted earlier in march. Anyone got advice for me? I'm also looking for crop fungicide. All I see in the market are herbicides and insecticides.
AgricultureRe: My Watermelon/cucumber Experience.by Iconfarms by FarmTech(mod): 9:14pm On Aug 08, 2016
I had similar experience with cucumber. They grew well and I harvested over 120 before a disease came and wipe them out. My mistake was that I didn't control leaf beetles when they started flowering. I was too merciful on the bees and other polinators. So the beetles spread the disease thruout the cukes. Another mistake was intercroping them with sweet potatoes - nutrient stealers. Next time I'll do a better job. The most imp thing is to identify and find solutions for ur mistakes.

Hello, please I was actually going through google to see if I can get some help and I saw your topic on nairaland.
I need to ask you please Cos I saw this topic about maize cultivation. I have a little vegetable garden that I planted maize. It has been growing very well and healthy until caterpillar starting eating up the the leaves and the shoots all through.
I've been so sad about it as this happen to be my very first time of my cultivating anything.
Is there any chemical you know that can help me kill those caterpillars without causing any damage to my crops pleasehuh
Thanks
..
Those are stem borers. They affected my maize too. Early comtrol with an insecticide is the best. Spray the pesticide inside the middle part of the maize bc that's where they normally stay.
