boluwajokosegun: You have all spoken well, on a 50 by 100 pplot of land you should pland 100 suckers. Plantain do have fungus deseases which must be noted, so your sources of sucker is very important There is also need for regular plantation maintenace, ie each stand spacing must be kept year in year out , otherwise the bounch would be smaller than previous & poor yeild. We have a specie thatwe sell in ibadan that produce two bounches. Wind breakers must be planted Support for plantain crop is also required to support the heavy weight of the plantain fruit, it must be carefully position so as to protect the plant from dying. We sell the hybrid two/ double bounch plant for N100 a sucker. Each sucher grows to reproduce 10 new suchers at the end of the year. Do not allow more than 3 suckers to remain on a sport so as to have a good yeild at once.
You should use poultry waste mixed with sawdust as manure at the base of the plantain to get veryy big plantain fruits Plantain can also be grown from it seed , obtain inside the ripe plantain.
A new type of DODO IKIRE can be package, well season, without sand or dust for sale, infact many new snacks can also come out of the plantain.

study4free: Applying For Scholarships can be tricky. There are currently several scholarships going on. You can check them out here.
However many students fail to get selected for scholarships, several times, why is this the case?
1. Applying when not eligible: Scholarship schemes are targeted at a specific class of students or audience (200 level students, Medical students, graduates of specified courses etc). Your application is bound to be denied if you do not belong to the desirable audience. Ensure you meet the scholarship requirements before applying.
2. Providing inaccurate or inconsistent information on the application form: Ensure you fill in your information accurately. Even the smallest detail counts, if you were admitted in 2012, enter 2012 not 2013.
3. Not providing complete documentation: Some scholarship schemes specify required documents to be uploaded, ensure you have all listed documents available and upload appropriately.
4. Submitting multiple applications: Create one account and apply using that account only. Applications from a single candidate using multiple accounts will surely be detected.
5. Uploading pictures as passport: Upload an appropriate passport photograph not a picture.
6. Applying to the wrong scheme: For scholarship schemes with multiple scholarship categories i.e Host-community based Scheme (e.g Nigerian Agip Oil Company scholarship scheme) and Merit-based scheme applications (e.g Agbami Medical and Engineering Professionals scholarship) simultaneously open from the same sponsor, ensure you apply to the scheme you are eligible to appropriately.
7. Using a computer centre operator/friends to complete your application: You know yourself better than anyone else, do not hire a computer centre operator or engage your friends to apply on your behalf.
8. It is highly competitive: Thousands of candidates apply for scholarship schemes regularly. This means a good chance that you are not selected even after meeting all the requirements exists. To enhance your chance of selection, ensure your avoid these common mistakes.
If you know of any other things that can likely cause mistakes in scholarship applications, do drop your comments below.
Lordbammy: One of the characteristics of a computer system is speed, so if your own computer has loses it's speed then you have a problem. In some computer cases, if i'm to boil water and power on some PC surely my water would boil even before some pc finish booting to window enviroment. The slow booting of a computer system to the window enviroment can be traced to some software which would run automatically as soon as you power on your computer which are located at the bottom right hand corner of the computer screen. This can be fixed by clicking on few things..
Steps to make pc boot faster: (1) Click on "START BUTTON" and navigate to "run" (2) Then type: Msconfig and click run (3) A window will pop up then click "STARTUP" (4) Now you would be presented with bunch of filenames and addressess and boxes with checks in them. Uncheck all the boxes(if possible) then click apply and ok. Now the computer will ask if you will like to restart. Restart the system and the settings will kick in. Note: You can use a software called "BOOTVis" to speed up booting automatically" SOURCE: http://starxclusive.com/how-to-speed-up-a-slow-computer/
Honestyboy: I must severally warn you that as much as the interviewer want to be seen as a friend, he or she will do everything with his or her reach and every trick in the book to make sure you fail as a result of his or her deep resolve to determine if you are the right candidate for the job in question. But your aim is to make sure you succeed. The only way you can accomplish this, is to influence and colonize the interviewers mind by putting up a first class performance during the interview. : Let us now see some of the things that the interviewer would be looking forward to from the very second you step into the interview hall. This things include..... : 1 A positive disposition 2 A cheerful disposition 3 A smart disposition 4 A confident disposition : The interviewer will also be looking forward to result oriented, targeted oriented, efficiency and economy minded person. : There are more things the interviewer would be looking for as a criteria in determining whether you are successful and the right candidate for the job or not. These include.... : 1} YOUR HAIR: For men, keep it low as possible, it it gives you that. Much desire executive panache. For women just keep it simple and neat. Avoid bright coloured hair because an interview is not a carnival. : 2} DRESSING For both men and women, wear suits unless told otherwise. Women should avoid wearing trouser suits, skirts suits are more preferable. Interview colours are black, gray and Navy blue. A situation where you do not have suits, do not borrow oversized undersized suits, always borrow normal size suits. : 3} FERFUME; If you must spray perfumes (which is not compulsory or necessary} avoid harsh or pungent fragrance. : 4} SHOES: Your shoe must match your attire. Black shoes is highly recommendable. : 5} PUNCTUALITY: It is advisable to be punctual for the sake of stacking pressure or in case the venue has been changed. : 6} FINALLY YOUR ENTRANCE Your entrance to the interview hall or room is very vital. Open the door and shut it gently behind you, walk with confidence, show no sign of arrogancy. But more importantly no fear. : NOTE: That when you make mistakes of shutting the door in front of you it practically shows that you are not conscious about your safety. When you walk so very fast it shows that you are under pressure. And when you walk so slow to the interview room, it means you're afraid. So walk majestically and confidently. : With this little ideas of mine I believe your next interview will be successful. Feel free to share your thoughts with us.

irukandji89: MARCOTTING/ AIR LAYERING: TURN A PLANT INTO A PLANTATION
Hello, I would like share a method of plant propagation that I feel has a lot of potential.
Marcotting, also called Air Layering is an asexual or vegetative method of plant propagation in which a new plant is made from a mature, established parent plant.
It is a very easy and quick way to multiply or propagate woody plants. In this method of plant propagation, roots are induced to form on a part of the parent plant (by causing a sort of “wound” or “cut” and then covering it up) while it remains aerial (above ground), hence the term Air Layering.
I have tried and tested this method of propagation of many plants which include Citrus plants (Lemon, Orange etc.), Moringa, African Apple, African Star Apple (agbalumo), Teak, Molina, Rubber, Basil (Ewuro), Thyme (Efinrin) and some woody decorative plants, and I have recorded success.
I hope to share my methods with fellow NLanders because I have searched on this forum and I haven’t found a related, comprehensive article on this method of propagation and I believe it would be beneficial to agriculturists who may want to start a plantation of some plants listed above.
Very true. There has been nothing like this after then. All our artists are concerned about now is their pocket and showing off dollars and girls and sex!
I am a strong believer in the Greater Nigeria Project. I believe Nigeria can be great again. I think is enough we end these tribalism and bring forth a united front. If we unite against bad leadership, against fraud, against corruption and every form of evil, I believe we can become great again.
I was checking some videos and came across this collaboration back then (A Nigerian Artiste **Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa**) This was before the coming of Olamide Badoo, Wizzy, Davido et al.
I am sure the older ones here on NL would know this all time collabo and if you were not born then, its time to watch it.
Please relax and watch this video again. Feel the nostalgia.
Progressive01: Thunder fire these people and ten of their generations unborn!!
How old are the vehicles?? Is Saraki an Arabian King?? What's wrong with using vehicles that are merely 3years old?? And if they develop faults, what's wrong with fixing them?? Don't we have state of the art auto servicing workshops in Abuja and Lagos?? Or are the vehicles as complex as the CERN Particle Collider and cant be fixed locally
These people are demons honestly.
You know bout the CERN particle collider? Tell me something.

Toks2008: The fact is that women are the most complex and complicated creation of GOD and infact i call them the first wonder of the world
-A lady will say she wants a faithful man but will prefer to be with a man every other lady wants. -A lady will practically friend-zone a man who genuinely wants her and would prefer to run after another guy who does not want her. -A lady will say there is no husband material but what she is implying is that her own specification of a tall,cute,rich,romantic...is rare. -Many ladies will talk down on polygamy but would prefer to be the side dish of a rich guy rather than be the only lady of a poor dude. -And a lady can be with one man,get married to him,have all his children and even grow old with him yet her heart will be with another all the days of her life. I can continue to list several situations to confirm the complexity of women.
The problem is that many men are always quick to bring down every woman because of the bad ones they have come across but this is grossly unfair because every lady is not the same and we must treat any new lady special regardless of the experience we had with an ex. Nevertheless,i think i have come up with the best way to be at peace with a woman and trust me,if you follow this golden advice,you will always have peace with any lady you choose to be with and here they are. 1.Love your lady with so much passion.
2.Lavish her with gifts.
3.Treat her like a queen.
4.Don't ever raise your hand to beat her or insult her in anyway.
5.Listen to her when she wants to be heard.
6.Shower her with lots of accolades.
7.Give her undivided attention.
8.Be very romantic towards her.
9.Respect her above others.
10.Don't cheat on her in anyway.
11.Provide her needs to the very best of your ability.
12.Don't ever break her heart or make her cry.
13.Be extremely caring.
14.Pamper her in anyway imaginable.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 15.But despite all these,expect the worst from her because she can still turn around and rub all the above on your face
The bottom line is that the man that will please a woman has not been created but the best we can do is to try all we can not to give them an excuse to misbehave but still expect the worst from them.If you treat her badly,she will have a good excuse so just treat her very well so that when she misbehaves,there will be no excuse for her to hold on to and her folly will be conspicuous to the world.
This is the only way you can be at peace with a woman so that if she eventually shows her color despite all your efforts to please her,you will be psychologically ready and will never be a surprise to you.
Putting the car in a lower gear allows the engine to slow the car, and may give you enough time to be able to safely pull over. Whether you're driving an automatic or a manual, try to downshift smoothly through the gears. If you downshift too quickly, you risk a skid. Do not shut off the car to stop it, as you'll lose your power steering, and do not put the car in neutral or you will lose the engine braking effect.
2. Try the emergency brake, but don't depend on it to stop you
If you're driving a car with a good, strong emergency brake, go ahead and use it. In cars with manual transmissions, the emergency brake is often operated via a hand-activated lever located behind the shifter, while in many automatics you use a small pedal located on the far left of the driver. It helps to try your emergency brake out at slow speeds to see how much stopping power it really has.
3. Work your vehicle into the right lane as soon as you can
Move toward the right shoulder of the road, or, if possible, toward an exit. If it is necessary to change lanes, do so smoothly and carefully, watching your mirrors and the traffic around you closely.
4. Stay off the gas pedal
Perhaps this goes without saying, but do not touch the gas pedal. Your goal, right now, is to slow down, pull over and safely stop.
5. Check for brake pedal blockage
Believe it or not, debris such as as soda cans or bottles, coffee cups, rolls of paper towels and other items bouncing around in the cockpit can wedge behind your brake pedal, preventing its use. Make sure the pedal's path is clear and if not, kick the obstruction out of the way.
6. Pump your brakes only if you have an older car without anti-lock brakes (ABS)
If your car has standard brakes they may respond to pumping, which could build up enough hydraulic pressure to allow them to work again. But many newer cars with ABS will do the pumping for you, so you should firmly press the brake pedal even if the brakes are not working. The brake failure may be temporary and if they suddenly start working again, your foot will be where it needs to be.
7. Alert others
Turn on your hazards and honk your horn until you're stopped so other motorists will know to give you plenty of room.
8. If you must hit something, aim for something "soft"
This is a judgment call, but a wooden fence is better than a tree, for example -- and anything is preferable to hitting a human being.
9. Stay calm
Knowing the steps outlined in this article and being able to perform them should give you the confidence to respond naturally instead of panicking, in the unlikely event that your brakes do fail.
10. Once you're safely stopped, summon help
Don't be tempted to drive the car again, even if the brakes suddenly start working. Have the car towed to a repair shop or dealer for inspection and repair.
