SEGLIZ:
pig aren't dirty animals, research confirms them to be one of the cleanest animals but the comment below by stagger is the real reason they wallow is water and they do so in any kind of water so far it will cool and calm their body temperature.

Okay! Thank you so much 🙏

ogbongenet:
Devil wan use pepper give me second wife...Satan you don fail ooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Good to hear! But not the second wife part abeg🙄

BrosG007:
Lol. Because they are pigs na

And someone while giving a lecture one day said that contrary to people's beliefs, pigs are clean animals and not dirty animals. And also that they splashing themselves in dirty water is their attempt at cleaning their bodies. It sounded strange to me but I thought that since he is probably a professional at it, why not believe him?

BrosG007:
Pigs are famous for having lots of babies, which is important for farming and food production. Normally, a grown-up sow can have between 8 and 12 piglets at once. But it can be more or less, depending on the kind of pig, their genes, how healthy they are, and how well farmers take care of them. Farmers work hard to pick the right pigs and take good care of them to have lots of healthy piglets for farms.

Knowing how many baby pigs a grown-up pig can have is important for you and anyone interested in pig farming.

How Many Babies (Piglets) Can A Pig Have?
Female pigs, called sows, become adults and can have babies when they are about 5 to 8 months old, depending on their breed and how fast they grow. Once they are ready, sows can get pregnant and give birth to litters of piglets.

The number of piglets born at once can vary for different reasons:

• Some types of pigs have more babies in each litter than others. Each breed has its own typical number of piglets.

• The parents genes play a big part in how many piglets are born. Farmers pick parents with good genes for having lots of babies.

• Giving pigs good food and keeping them healthy is very important for having big litters. Healthy sows that get enough to eat tend to have more babies.

Why are the babies sleeping inside dirty water?

Paraman:
There's no where such a thing is stated in the article. BEDC claim there will always be power supply between 8am and 5pm, that's 9hours on, 15 hours off

It's even that 8am to 5pm that they said there won't be light. Imagine not having light at the most productive time of the day .

Tommymoses:
Please don't derail my thread I take God beg una....
I just need a good advice on this farming stuff.
Pls your suggestion and contribution still needed.
Thanks

My apologies for derailing your thread. I ought not to have descended that low to that person's level. I sincerely respect your posts and follow your turkey posts back to back. Your posts truly excite me, especially your turkeys, and they encourage me to keep going with my own turkeys, even though they disappoint me most times.

henndukwe18:
copy that

Please don't let it happen next time.

Kobojunkie:
Abeg carry your tales by moonlight enter gutter somewhere make a person hear word o'jare! 😑😑😑😑

Pele. You go dey alright las las.

tess1:
Where can I get up to 20,000 Ugu seedlings?

That's huge! Why don't you get pods instead and nurse the seeds?

Kobojunkie:
And csn this uncle of yours come online from ogbomoso to verify this tale of yours? Or it is impossible for him to do so?

Farmers use pesticides on their farms. Pesticides are said to be harmful to cows. And I have never heard of your particular tale since I have been paying attention to the cattle-herders-farmer issues in Nigeria..

I should ask him to open a Nairaland account because of you? Wait! I want to go and tell him. He can even travel down to your side to come and tell you about the particular tale so that you can add it to the ones you already have compiled.

Kobojunkie:
Where? When? Any link to the story or where exactly it supposedly happened?

Many pesticides are equally poisonous to cattle. Have you equally heard tales of herders going back to kill farmers who use pesticides on their farms?

Link how? Did I tell you that it was covered by the news? It was because I mentioned it to an uncle of mine who lives in Ogbomosho that a farmer can poison his farm if Fulani herdsmen keep disturbing him that he now went on to tell me the story of how a farmer tried it and got killed by a reprisal attack just because some of their cows died.

Kobojunkie:
I have not found information on cattle-poisonous plants in Nigeria or Africa, which is why I included the link to give an idea of plants out here that are noted as dangerous to livestock over here. But I intend to continue searching around to find plants local to even Nigeria in the next couple of days or weeks.

Someone once told me about a farmer who tried to pull this kind of stunt in Ogbomosho some years back and how the herders went back to kill him.

Rajahbite:
Yeah sure, you can cultivate plantains anytime of the year. I only told you the time to plant it for best results is March/April

Thank you so much 🙏

Rajahbite:
Planting of plantains is better done between March and April so that it will be stable before the dry season sets in

Okay. Thank you so much.

Can I still take the risk though? I only intend to plant them for household purpose.

Tommymoses:
Good pm palz..
Pls I need your candid advice and directions, I want to relocate to Oshogbo from Lagos and I don't know anybody there. Is there anyone can help with any agent number or where I can rent an apartment...

Are you now in Osogbo?

HeatSeeker:
imagine a confirmed dullard calling someone else one. Nothing wey musa no go see for gate .

I won't bother responding to the two conspiracy theorists on this thread. If you are a neutral reader, please know that there is absolutely no proof that GMO's are harmful. I have challenged them to provide verifiable evidence and they hide behind long meaningless posts and insults.

We need to be food secured, and GMO's are the way forward.

You can take that to the bank

Pele. You go dey alright last last.

Too bad you couldn't convince one single fellow on this thread. Imagine! I didn't even tell you that I am a microbiologist to argue with you. You were the one who came on strongly trying to prove that I might not know a GMO maize if I see one.
I sincerely don't have your time as I am not trying hard to convince people to buy into the idea of what they loathe.
You can keep shouting for the mods to move your thread to front page. Let me give you an advice though: learn to engage people without being aggressive especially since you are the one trying to convince them. That attitude of yours displayed up there shows that you are not a good marketer which you need to change asap unless of course you don't care.

Rajahbite:
I think it's a bit late for plantains.

Why is it late for plantain?

epainos:
Lol! That's the person who understands genetic engineering. Lol.. Do you think you can explain anything to such a person, and can easily assimilate it? This is why I did not even try to give him any research paper or refuse to argue.


How can I explain anything to someone who doesn't know what a research paper is. His proof is the statement of the body that wants to sell the seeds. Lol. And he said that's his proof. And then, compares that with research papers. What can I explain or tell such a brain that will enter very well other than the money he has collected to promote the seeds? I have business with only readers here.... I just want to point it here that he should not confuse people. GMOs aren't good. Period!

Anyone who is smart will quickly know he is naive. Lol. Explaining genetics to this guy .....person go explain tire....lol. Some heads are permanently blocked.

The guy is a very pompous fellow who believes he knows it all. Well, good luck to him and his GMO cronies.

HeatSeeker:
When your friend referred to me as a dullard, you didn't think it was rude, right?

It is shameful that you cannot argue effectively as someone who claims to have scientific knowledge. I probed you and your friend, and you both failed woefully. No single evidence except for conspiracy theories. Go back and read your microbial genetics and molecular biology notes. Knowledge is not hard to find.

Please, kindly address matters responsibly. What do you mean by probe?

It is quite annoying that you are using two different comments made by two different people to judge one person. I still find it insulting by the way you referred to me as I was not the one who insulted you. Moreover, you said I didn't respond to a comment earlier that I had no answer to give when in fact I had not even opened my account as there was no time to. You do not expect me to sleep and wake up on Nairaland, do you?

I told you that we don't take drugs everyday but you chose to misunderstand it and twist it to your own preferred narrative. Well, good luck to you on that.

As for going back to molecular biology and genetics, you are not the one to advise me on that.

HeatSeeker:
The microbial cell factories used don't have DNA shebi? You don't eat drugs, but you will use them to treat yourself? Please get properly informed about a topic before you go online to give out information you cannot back up with facts.

Kindly understand the context of the word "eat" used and stop being smart by half! You can substitute it with take.

HeatSeeker:
BIG SHAME!!!

it's amazing to see the very deep level of ignorance and misinformation you are swimming in. You are not as informed as you are making yourself out to be, and anyone that has truly done some research, even at the foundational scientific level, will not come up with the drivel you just wrote up there.

The evidence that the GMO's you vilify are not harmful is already in the original post of this thread. Any claim otherwise will have to be backed up with verifiable proof, which unfortunately, you do not have. It is not by mouthing unfounded theories and conspiracies that can help you win this argument. You simply do not know anything about genetically modified organisms aka GMO's, your comment in response to my post referencing gene editing and recombinant DNA technology is enough to buttress the point that you are a layman who is out of his depth on the subject matter.

I asked the so called microbiologist a question that none of you can provide a valid answer to.

Please go and do some real research on the process of making these GMO's, see its application in the pharmaceutical industry and tell me why you would take a drug made using this technology and not eat a food crop improved with this same process.

Stop arguing if you don't know anything.

You are even very rude! "So-called" indeed.

Even medical doctors will tell you that most of these drugs we take do have serious side effects, but they weigh the risks between taking and not taking and whichever outweighs the other is what is followed. For you to compare drugs with GMO foods shows how smart you are. And of course, you may be really smart but desperate to convince people in order to sell your products.

Truth is, we cannot 100% run away from genetic engineering and its effects, but it is another kettle of fish if we foolishly decide to embrace it a 100%.

HeatSeeker:
So you also know that the same process is used to manufacture drugs, hormones and other pharmaceutical products using bacteria?

If you can take those drugs made from recombinant DNA technology, then why can't you eat crops improved in the same manner?

We don't eat drugs everyday. Also, drugs don't have DNA that can be tampered with and altered.

HeatSeeker:
You might already be eating it without knowing

Not possible. I planted the maize that I am presently using to make pap right now.

Plus, I am a microbiologist who knows about genetic engineering.

They should be eating it themselves then.

Rexymania:
Na joke. You didn't marry that bitch a virgin. Did you?

You are calling his wife a bitch? Isn't that disrespecting his wife?

@OP, are you comfortable with the way people are denigrating your wife here? Is she really a promiscuous person or her only offence was lusting after an online picture and being stupid enough to comment it out?
A strong reprimand should do the trick here, whether or not she sees no big deal in it. Let her know that what she did is very wrong and that she should desist from such disgusting act.

Nicepoker:
I am very sure she is jobless.

So many sure people on Nairaland.

naijapips04:
Rich people

That's serious. But that's a lot of heads though.

naijapips04:
These are discarded part of a cattle that is probably being taken to be disposed off after Eid.

Who disposes of head?

BossGerald:
🙄

😁

clearcrystal:
What are you people saying, does everyone has an acre or even a plot of land for themselves.

Obviously not! But those with a plot of land or less can still farm these crops in small quantities. That's just my point.

BossGerald:
Fuel is also too expensive...I want to build my own refinery in my backyard, how do I do it?? I don't want to blame the government for everything


Can I also farm rice, beans, yam, potatoes, orange, mango in my backyard??🤡🤡

You can actually farm all with the exception of rice in your backyard 😁. I learnt that beans is not really hard to farm. I am going to try it too.
