Greedy politicians

And I say let's divide the country!

Good house! It has been a long time. My last cucumber farm was not really profitable as before because the price in the market crash in October.
Please brethren, update the current price of cucumber in your area. Thanks!

If the UN is not toothless, why haven't they call Buhari to order since all this while?
Or they want the wicked president to kill everybody in this country before they will arrest him?
UN is failing in this time of need!

Henryfly:

My great grandfather was among d captured slaves to be taken to US but dat wicked man escaped and denied us d privileged of been a native of United States.... Imagine a country honouring a dog.. if it is in Nigeria, a hunter and his family will savour and even devour all d bones from a rabbit a dog caught and eat d dog too wen not satisfied ..... better to be a slave in US than a freeman in Naija

EMMAACHILE:

26-27 paint bucket

thank you my boss

okoroemeka:
my brother I think whiteflies are the most stubborn insects to eradicate,I have seen a whole farm wiped out by excessive chemicals sprayed for whiteflies,if you have used dimethon I guessed you have used magicforce and action 40 ,if the fly still persists look for an acephate based insecticide like acetaforce and use,but if the flies are not there yet I think a weekly spray of action 40 will be a good preventive measure,some areas are prone to heavy whitefly infestation.

Good morning sir! Please sir, how much can a farmer get per harvest of one plot of land?

EMMAACHILE:

Most 100kg size bags contain 65-70 mudus.

Oga Emma, please how many paint rubber will fill 100kg beans bag.

okoroemeka:
don't underestimate the marketers at Coke or relief market onitsha ,one marketer can sell 200 bags of cucumbers daily.if in doubt go and see with your two korokoro eyes.

Mr Emeka, you are making me to cry right now. You gave me all necessary assistance when I first venture into cucumber farming as a novice. You give out information to everyone as if you are our blood brother or relation. Here you are again, giving me great hope. With the few things you have shared on nairaland since November 2018 till now, I have made some cash as a corps member(nysc). Now that I am through with nysc, I want to go into farming business. I just wish every politician is like you. This country would have be one of the best places in the world.
May the good God that see everything continue to bless.

okoroemeka:
so you think onitsha cannot buy what you can produce

Sir please forgive me for my ignorance oo. I was just afraid oo.

Good morning

Edo state

Post the price here

okoroemeka:
taking veggies to those two locations during dry season will be like taking drugs to Malaysia,be ready to tackle agbero,local government thugs,general nusiance idlers but in the end it's worth it

Just that about 10 of my friends that just pass out of nysc with me want to do dry season farming. My fear is where to market it.

okoroemeka:

Lol! The cucumber boss has spoken. Good evening sir

okoroemeka:
sorry for the erratic update s,we harvested for the second time on Thursday and got a basket and an increase of150%from last harvest, hopefully we are marching towards peak production.

This is awesome!

Please if you know any big cucumber and other vegetables markets in Bayelsa and port harcourt help me with the market location. I am a farmer. I want to expand market to these cities in dry season.

okoroemeka:
if it is okra there's not much to learn about planting it,but cucumbers can be really tasking,I didn't learn from anybody because there's almost no farmer planting cucumbers in our area by 2014,I just consumed threads by jasper7,vanpele,olaimo,ishasguy,etc and combined more from goggle farm.

Sir hope there is progress in your okra farm? I am waiting for your own so that I will plant and learn from it.

shariff84:
in the north we didn't eat much maize like that fresh.no any good market for it only dry one,therefore I don't have option than to allow it to dry before threshing it.

oh no! Here in Benin and warri, 1 fresh maize is 25 to 30 naira at the farm. They will come to your farm and harvest it themselves.
Multiple it by 50000 fresh maize in hectare. People from benin city should quote me wrong if I lie or exaggerate.

FMCASH:
thickness sir

sir any update as regards Okra?
Good morning

okoroemeka:
if you are an expert in all those mentioned areas why don't you farm them and smile to the bank,we have done all expect rabbit what I will tell you is that it's not easy,the sound of mouth chewing bitter kola is obviously not the taste!!

lol

shariff84:
I was in the farm yesterday,the maize performance is impressive, almost all the villagers are talking about the maize.yeah this is their first time of seeing pioneer maize seed planted in their village.here is the picture below.the haverst time is next month.I will update about the actual yield we get per hectare.

My brother, y not sell it fresh and get you money. I think selling fresh corn is more profitable than dry corn.

No! If u can arrange the logistics, I will come myself. I just want to be sure the there is vehicle to convey it down to delta. I will come in person.

ifedola28:


50kg is 200 naira

I need 4 to 5 tons in delta state. How do I get it?

okoroemeka:
we harvested the okro today,it's 54 days since we planted and we are just still having 30-40% flowering and 20% production,but by next week we will have full production,the crops was 1 feet 6 inches by harvest,just once npk 201010 application(3 weeks) and once manure(4 weeks) took it to this level,we will weed next week and apply another dose of fertilizer, compared to cucumbers the cost of production is very low and stress level non existent,we are seriously considering a dry season okra farm with drip irrigation,so far what we have spent so far is less than ₦10,000 naira on almost one plot of okra, ridges₦2000,seed₦1500, fertilizer₦1200,manure₦500, weeding ₦1300, insecticide₦2500(used only 30%).I could have included pics of the freshly prepared okra soup vs goat meat,but I think it could be graphic and could send many a stomachs rumbling.

The is very encouraging to young farmer like me.

Mr Okoroemeka, many of us are patiently waiting for your update sir.

OluchiDelly:


Harvest volume as pa sequence is similar to that of cucumber and tomatoes. But not as lucrative as both, its only advantage is it requires less inputs: energy, time, resources, maintenace.Today you may harvest a bagco bag, next 4 days a 25kg bag and next 50kg, then diminishing return sets in from same portion of land.
As pa life span, I remember I planted one on independence day (Oct 1st) and I harvested till Jan. The thing died in Feb cos I stop irrigating. There was high demand in Jan n Feb due to its scarcity.

Thank you madam! Please the bagco bag, 25kg and 50kg, is it from one plot or acre?

Buhari is a vampire

Arrest and charge him for cannibalism
