Attit:
By the way ma, there are so many resources here you can follow, but very few ones are on point. Majority are useless, especially the chemical filled threads. I had to stop at a point with chemicals as it got to a stage, I said no to chemicals. 2 years ago, I gave a powerful chemical to someone who imported it, and really I had been using the chemical for many years without it entering Nigeria. From that one person, many people started asking me if it's ok. I just smiled. Yesterday, I saw someone advertised the active ingredient, but with another blend of chemical. And I showed some people that if I don't release chemicals, they will say I am wicked. Look at this. The person went to China and got a cheaper version blend and brought it here. And what is this? It is carcinogenic. I just say ...well....this is why I don't release chemicals.

It is good you started with non chemical, but I must be frank with you that you need deep experience before you can survive 100% organic. I have advice for you:

1. Do not jump into technical veggies with too many troubles if doing organic since you are just starting- cucumber, watermelon, tomatoes etc. They are highly sensitive crops. You can go with eggplant and still make it huge. Carrots, lettuce, and local veggies.

2. Though I mentioned local green veggies, becareful with it as rainy season is approaching and it can flood market anytime. But really, if you had started in October, believe me, you dont even need any other troublesome crop. You will make it big. Just get the market right, and make sure you sell on farm. Avoid moving local veggies to market.

3. You may need NPK and urea since you may not be good with composting at this point. There is nothing wrong with using fertilizer. Anyway, I don't eat anything grown with fertilizer again. Lol. But your customers "no send you". They dont care. So, if I am doing huge commercial, I still dont go 100% organic. And i still use chemicals sparingly. Why? I have to protect my investment, and those buying dont care about my cost of production. Even i produce two kinds and say buy organic N10 per kg, and inorganic N9.9 per kg. They will go for inorganic because of that 0.1 reduction. Not to talk of saying inorganic is N3 per kg while organic is N10. They will just curse you with your organic. So, what is important is that you avoid spraying chemicals too often. But trust me, these farmers here are "yampions" (not champions) in bombarding plants with chemicals. At times, I get so scared eating anything I dont grow. Ha! I cannot take the risk anymore. Nope.

4. Integrated farming is the way forward. Mixing livestocks with vegetables and grains. Honestly, this is the way forward. So, celebrate small wins. Do not go big immediately. Learn the rope. The rope of organic farming is long. And organic required well planned logistics. You need a van to survive it. You will see the reasons later. Otherwise, find a portion near you and learn from there and even make cool cash.

5. If you are a small farmer, please, forget about employing experienced manager or worker. You are the manager of your farm, meaning, you must be there always. And it is why your farm must be very close to your home. If not, forget it.

I wish you best of luck, and my 2021 be your year of fulfillment and success in vegetables production. Amen!

Thank you sir. It's a small farm, so I am definitely my own manager . I normally spray the vegetables with neem oil to repel insects. I am also thinking of making homemade organic fertilizers like soaking Tithonia leaves in water and using the liquid as foliar fertilizer instead of using urea fertilizer. I just don't have the heart for it.

But sir, what do you advise towards using fish water waste as foliar fertilizer? Especially if the fish is being fed with BSF? Can it take the place of fertilizer?

Attit:
Oh! I'm happy you find my posts helpful. Remember, immediate profit is not your immediate goal; rather, eliminating all hindrances. This rats invasion is one. But the greatest and most dangerous pests are humans - your manager, your workers, neighbours, fellow farmers, etc. You will struggle with them before you are able to handle them.

There are many methods I can think off, but the easiest is that you release cats on the land. But you should have started before now because the cats need to be trained to be the security at night. Anyway, not too late. You just need to set up a garden again there and get a worker to start training the cats and releases them at night to secure your farm. Even 1 single cat will send rats away from 2 ha. They will never near the farm again. The only issue is that avoid breeding of cats. Get males only. And make sure there are no strayed cats around; else, they will become nuisance around your farm.

Okay sir. Thanks for the advice.

The brown sack

And it's how much?

Sir! I have always been a fan of yours though I joined nairaland not quite long. I am an aspiring farmer and I must confess that I hate chemicals and fertilizers which makes me pro-organic kind of . The issue is that I planted maize last year but the farm got ravaged by rats because I didn't want to use chemicals on the farm. The worst part was when I decided to plant just leafy greens and jutes. These rats came again and invaded my farm to the extent that I couldn't pick anything out again after the few times I uprooted few (almost a plot of land). I must confess that I'd never seen this level of destruction before as they were just cutting them off for fun.

I intend to plant dry season vegetables again soon. Please how can I secure my farm from these rats without the use of chemicals?

Juliusmalema:
I once said here that the devilish profiling of Fulanis in west is totally unhealthy.

There is no smoke without fire....and Muyideen plus hosts of others has attested to that..

One thing is certain Yorubas are Majorly Muslims and Fulanis are muslims also and both worships in same mosque meaning that there must exist a kind of relationship between the two divides..

You can't believe on same faith and claims you all share different ideologies whereas the interaction starts right from the congregation of worship


This exactly shows that all kidnappings and banditry plus raping has direct link with the natives leading the action from their shadows

That's not true. Yorubas are not predominantly muslims. Yoruba population has slightly more Christians than muslims.

The Sultan's statement is hilarious. So he agrees than 8 or more out of 10 kidnappers are Fulanis . And yet people should not label them as criminals? So, what of the herdsmen that don't kidnap or who we believe do not kidnap but destroy farmlands and farm produce? Or who kill the farmers who dare to confront them? How many good ones are now left? Hmmm

AbijaJ:
Op, what exactly do you hope o gain with your misleading headline? Since when did hoodlums become herdsmen? Herdsmen are not the only criminals in Nigeria. Mynd44, you should caution this Op for deliberately trying to deceive forumers.

Are you not in Nigeria? Can the word herdsmen be used again? I don't see any deceit in what the OP wrote.

Yebedervru:
Those places mentioned are family houses which are ghetto
First, fulani can’t enter those places to burn them without being killed or without people recognising them as fulani
It’s already stated in the article that it’s about politics because those places are complete ghetto, so which fulani would have mind to enter those places
Besides if it’s fulani, they would have been recognised as fulani easily because of how those houses were built

And they should mention Fulani after being warned? Smh

hustla:
So youre just assuming?

Did he put a rope around her neck and force her not to have a bf?

You think?

hustla:
$1M based on say she born for am Or what?

Bros, no be by born o. They have been companions for 10 years during which I want to presume that the girl would not have had any other boyfriend or companion (rich men are usually aggressive when it comes to such).

busomma:
Typical American young lady looking for fame & meal ticket. Go get yourself a job & stop being a nuisance to the public & yourself. U want $5m for being fuucked. U better wake up from ur dream.

For 10 years? Abeg dat one no be dream o. She is technically his wife according to their common law over there.

Commotfornigeri:
Calm down, Nigerian law will favor dangote but this one is a foreign court.

They may be considered common law and if it get's there, she gets half his net worth.

Common law in USA is 7 years. These ones dated for 10 years.

You didn't get me . I was making jest of the other guy. They think all the stuffs they do here in Nigeria are obtainable over there. The lady should be able to shake out at least a million dollars out of Dangote. I just pray he doesn't increase the prices of salt, sugar, flour among others as a result .

AkalaJasi:
Oh, na hin come make you demand $5million?? On top say hin fvck your toto?

For 10 years? It's such an expensive one. Been accumulating interests.

RedPanthar:
Village People and their stealth long range missiles.


You'll all never rest in peace for these deeds. You've spotted a future star and secretly plotted this deadly wave of attack to carry innocent persons along and disguise it as an accident


It shall never be well for you witches and wizards of the nite

What exactly are you talking about? Are you even trying to trivialise the fact that the trailer lost control? That road is a deathtrap. This has kept happening over the years as a result of the topography yet nothing is being done about it. It's okay to blame witches and wizards but for God's sake, let the government play it's part first.

NipseyHustle:
Same reason we can't borrow from Dangote or Otedola or Arthur Eze.

You mean he also has a business he's running?

NipseyHustle:
You obviously don't know how much money these folks steal from Nigeria.

Obj's failed power project alone gulped $16 billion.
How much of abacha's loot has been recovered so far?
Dasuki alone embezzled $2billion from the arms deal and he was only a national security adviser.

A single 4-year tenure is more than enough for any greedy Nigerian president to steal $10 billion dollars. Easily.

Why then are we borrowing 500 million dollars from China? Why can't we just borrow from him?

What happen to Rule 8?

[b]8. Don't post false information on Nairaland.


Rumors are spread by fools and believe by idiots. [/quote]And how sure are you that he posted a false information? I just checked and saw that news on a lot of news sites.

Why being too sentimental? Why not confirm first before concluding and implying that the OP is a fool?

Can the egg be boiled for food

Lol. Audio ostrich egg.

BRATISLAVA:
Don't mind them. They are acting like kneeling to propose will kill them. All the usual male sentimental bullshit. As if most of them can provide for a woman, and they won't make her work to contribute and cover their inadequacies.

Men of today have become crybaby sissies. They want to be men without putting in the effort. They don't even know what it means to be a man and the responsibilities that follow. They are just following lazy deluded men with their red pill nonsense.

As if kneeling will make the woman humble. Their ideas about being given so much ego trips is laughable.

Honestly, you are on point.

HeadShot:
Shut up jare....

The way most of you promote this gay thing sef... No animal is gay
It's against nature...
It's just a sickness in most human....
This guy will still go ahead and adopt a kid some where... Is it not sheer stupidity...

Like I said... It's a mental sickness

I wonder o. Why adopt a child born by a woman? Or look for a surrogate woman to carry your child? If some of them do desperately need kids, why can't they combine their sperms since they can scientifically explain homosexuality?

How come you just registered and you still immediately want to sell your ostriches?

BRATISLAVA:
Because she knelt?

All the men who knelt and cheated and beat up and killed their wives, weren't they great men for kneeling?

You just read my mind . What's to say the likes of her cannot physically and emotionally abuse their husbands or even go to the extent of killing if things go extremely sour? As if it shows total submission or even lack of anger issues.

Clowns full this nairaland sef. Smh

Ikillbrokehoes:
Men should better wise up, let's all stop these nonsense, I can't pay for her bride price and she expects me to kneel down to propose again? it's not possible

Actually, it is not really compulsory for the men to get married. They can clone their kids if they want.

Nazgul:
This is exactly how it should be. We are in Africa not some Western world.

We have our traditions which includes bride price and providing for your family. Therefore any woman being chosen by a man to spend the rest of his life with should be respectful enough to kneel down when accepting his proposal cos he's entering into a covenant to spend the rest of his life providing for her and most times her family as well.

Really? People will not cease to amaze me.

Evil people have certainly hijacked this app, using it to promote demonic and dangerous challenges everyday. I can assure you it's not normal.

Sonnobax15:



That's life for you and I...

You may think you're loved when everything is working for your good...But don't be surprised to see the same people take a walk out of your life when the table turns..

Funny enough that the same people whom she had begged for their help but didn't come to her aid are gonna be the same people who wouldn't mind crossing borders just to attend her burial ceremony...

This life ain't funny one bit

As for me,na just to live my life,loving every one that comes my way on a daily just like I love my humble self....

You can't be too sure if people helped or didn't. Cancer is a serious disease where chances of coming out of it is very low, especially after reaching that degree shown in the picture. Billions of naira may not be able to save her at that point anymore.

God will definitely punish you not just because you are a scammer but because you are posing as a man of God, in an attempt to gain trust of people in order to defraud them. You'd better go and repent in this new year or you will perish.
