Lostz: Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba,ijaw, Urhobo Isoko, Beni etc are the different tongues in Nigeria and I am sure there are witnesses that speaks those tongues.
the apostles did not just uttered meaningless words.
they speak tongues.... that is other people languages.... and were understand by others too
Did it fall on the them like in the apostles' case or did they learn it? Do they speak all these languages to preach through the help of the Holy Spirit or through the help of learning apps? Because if you claim that christians now speak meaningless words (won't comment on that statement of yours) and that the valid tongue is other people's languages, then you must be able to acknowledge that this gift of speaking other people's languages was imparted by the Holy Spirit in the days of pentecost, which differentiate them from the unbeliever that can fluently speak 12 different languages.
It's easy. Get a long rod or if you have a metal hanger you can straighten that head a little bit to form a hook and push it through one of the holes in the white plastic cover. Pull out and clean off the dirts on the cover and also in the exposed hole, pour hot water to unclog and replace the cover.
It wasn't photoshopped. I also read about it on Friday, plus I watched the video too. Patiently waiting for the verdict of the scientists on this But as for me and my house, I can't eat this. Too many yellow-yolked eggs in the market wasting away.
excanny: I only have one weeder blade on it. You can buy the other types of blade as u wish later on.
Ok, thanks. I already have the frame with the brush cutting blade, so I don't think there is need getting another. Just like you said, I will have to get that weeder blade.
excanny: Serious buyer needed. Auction sale. Best ever
Good morning. The video that you posted has different kinds of blades/tips with different functions. Does yours too have different blade types with different functions?
I also have one like this but it is just the brush cutter type with rotary blade and rope cutter. It doesn't have the function of the tiller like yours.
clintz: In the Bible book of genesis 38 God kill Onan for refusing to impregnate his late brothers wife. Nigerian Christians and hypocrisy we select only what we think is right in the Bible.
That is a wrong interpretation. God killed Onan for refusing to impregnate his late brother's wife while enjoying intimacy with her.
24kmagic: Were we selling at a lost? No! But the gain wasn't that much. Why it is expensive now? This is due to some factors
The major reason why it was cheap then was because the demand for it was very low, people don't fancy it. So farmers kept selling because they knew consumers had a choice, (a better one at that). If you don't dispose it, you're on your own. But right now, the demand for the local rice is high and I believe you know the law of demand and supply.
Also, then, farmers just process and sell without polishing the rice. We sell with all the stones and chaft inside. But now, we polish the rice at a huge cost (N1500/bag). Imagine you have ten bags to just polish, that's 15k. This is aside the milling ooo. If you want to mill and polish, that's 3k per bag, which is 30k.(that's money for two bags)
Another factor is the land. For those who don't have paddy land to farm rice, the cost of renting one somehow doubled.
Finally, the mercenaries helping out during the production have somehow been brainwashed to believe that rice is the hottest cake in town now. Once you employ their services, the amount they will charge you ehn..... Hmm. Some go add jealousy join.
Government have a major role to play here. We need machines to help us produce and process this thing. The manual labour is too much. We also need government to site rice mills in many places at a subsidized rate. We also need stable light in the areas where those rice mills are sited. Cos at the moment, they are running on fuel, reason why it's expensive. Also, we spend crazy amounts to move these products from our farms to our houses and then to the rice mill. Government should see how they can subsidize the transport too.
If they want rice to be 15k per bag, it's achievable. But they should first reduce the stress and expenses on us.
My personal opinion tho
So, this means the government didn't consider all these issues before stopping the importation of rice. If the government wanted to be responsible and not make people feel the serious impact of the price hike, then they should have waded in. They could have helped in the subsidisation of the price of rice, giving the farmers support in terms of those aspects you mentioned such as constructing factories at strategic points where de-stoning, polishing and the likes are being done at cheaper rates.
Without those factors already in place, the government shouldn't have stopped the importation of rice.
24kmagic: Greed? Nah! If you know what it takes to produce one bag of rice in Nigeria, you'll not complain. Foreign rice goes through a mechanised process from A-Z. There are machines that help in every phase of production so it should be cheap. But here in Nigeria, what do we have? Hard, manual labour. Every stage of processing is manual.
Even at 25-30 that we sell it, we're still running at a lost.
Farming in Nigeria isn't easy. That's why farmers are mostly seen as poor people. Farming in Nigeria is not good.
If you've never been to the farm to see or join farmers in producing food, don't just complain. Just buy the one you can buy and go home. We're really suffering.
Sometimes we spend as much as 250k on rice farm before it even goes through processing. Processing it alone is another hard job.
Asin, you don ever see where de de process rice?
Asin, you'll not understand. When you start your own rice production, you can decide to sell it at 5-10k
Good evening sir. I have always had unanswered questions about this local rice increment and I am happy that you can finally answer them for me. Please why was it that when the local rice was competing with foreign rice it was being sold at between 13-15k, but when foreign rice was chased out of the market and local rice production increased, the price increased to an average of 18k? What was the cause of that? When they were competing with foreign rice, were they making such big losses? If yes, why did they keep growing the rice and kept making such big losses yearly? These questions are not to spite rice growers but to get answers to these questions that have been bothering my mind for a long time. Thanks.
'Be God!' is a prayer song & a cry for intervention from a desperate heart in need of help. In a season like this when the world seems confused and situation looks bleak, we cannot but look up to the Almighty God, the creator of the Heavens and the Earth to manifest and show forth His power by bailing us out. The world's at its wits end, hopeless and confused and it seems that only the Master of the universe can fix our mess.
Please I would love you to listen to the song and give your comments as it is still in the works (this is just a preview copy).

travelland: Why is it that most people don't use brain to analyze things? Corona has 14 days to manifest in carriers. Lagos has been on lockdown for a month+, meaning the virus spread during the lockdown and is still spreading but majority of infected are not showing symptoms. If you have elderly ones keep them indoors and boost their immune system, otherwise, people who aren't showing symptoms should be allowed to seek for their daily bread while observing hygiene, social distancing and wearing face mask. Keeping asymptomatic people hungry is more catastrophic in the long run because they will break down.
Coronavirus does not really take 14days to manifest, but between 2-14 days depending on one's immune system, level of exposure, general body system etc.
