Current price per bag I don't know but the last I sold around 2 weeks ago was 3k5


Average cucumber per bag: this depends on the size of cucumber and the type of sack. However, I've never counted before so I can't tell.
Last time i counted, one bag contains 88. Both big and small. Actual number will vary depending on size.

Cucumber can be planted in dry season without getting bitter, provided it gets adequate water.
Tnks. I'll like to plant it this dry season but I want to be triple sure. Have u ever planted it in the dry season. If yes, which variety? Pardon me pls.

can cucumber be planted in dry season without risk of getting bitter-tasting ones. I read that high temperature can cause it.

No
OK. I had the problem when I planted mine. but I think it was my fault BC I intercrop with sweet potato and so the rodents see where to hide and feed.

Rubbish! a typical Nigerian hearsay beer palour comment!!! the only reason a Nigerian man comes home to impregnate a woman here is the same reason some men cheat or even sleep with other women outside their marriage!!! who wont take a free pass when he sees it? Nigerian women always jump over you when they know you just traveled into Nigeria, and along the way the dummy gets preggy? what do you do? you make her all sorts of promises that you will marry her, take her abroad , nlah blah blah, all so her broke arse doesn't bug your foreign cell phone with calls. And the dummy believes that you would actually leave your home in a first world country to marry a back water uncivilized liability? all because she is from Nigeria? hahhahahahhahahahahah
So does that answer your question?
justifying evil isn't the way forward. man was not created to act like a he-goat. imorality of any sort shud be condemn - whether it comes from a man or a woman. and also beware that a day of judgement is coming. so u can't just do all sort of evil and think I'll get away with. as for the ladies who will engage in s e x b4 marriage get ready for the consequences. don't blame the man but blame itself for such foolishness.

Bollinger:
You are funny. You think if the societal structure in Nigeria was normal the divorce rate wouldn't be ten times higher than what exists in America? No one wants to be treated like slaves and Nigerian women are basically treated as such. The reason they are afraid to leave their husbands in Nigeria is because of the economic and legal realities that exist in the country. Both factors do not favor them. They know how difficult it would be to survive without the surpport of their husband especially when kids are involved. To make matters worse, the legal system does not favor them. A man can wake up one morning and chase his wife out of their matrimonial home and bring in someone else that same day and nothing will happen. Come and try that shiit over here. The reason the divorce rate in Nigeria is so low is because of fear on the part of women. It is that simple.
2 wrongs cannot make a right. God made man the head, oyibo says no that they are equal. how can 2 captain be on a ship? if men are treating women unfairly, the right law to make shud not be extreme ones that will favor one party.

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.
pls can u explain more? what is the strumming pattern to use or is it solo.

U can spray the both together and you spray two weeks before harvesting, u avoid leaving residual effect on the fruit, u can also read user instruction on the insecticide container
since they are harvested very 4-5 days, does that mean spraying shud STP during harvest time.

Thank for u response! pls explain evrything in detail....whats different btw fungicide and insecticide? Thank
fungicide is used against fungi diseases. insecticides against insects.

pls oga, wit this different diseases in picture u post, how can u control them and which insecticide can be use to control them? Thank
planting cukes without spraying with fungicide is like raising broilers without vaccinatn. a foolish mistake I made as a first timer.

@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

" 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.
