Duchessree, if you read my write up, i took all the blame on the things happening, i just want to try and give my children a different kind of life. i will not allow them to follow my footsteps, NEVER, i'm not even complaining but just trying to pass a message to those who are not appreciating their parents. thanks

JBriel, all farmers should have been millionaires now according to your analysis. but it's sad that reality is another thing entirely. take the maize you mentioned for example, if you want to do it,you must

Clear the bushes

Make heaps or ridges

Planting

Spray pre-emergency

Spray true herbicide(like sarosate)

After some time, you will weed the farm with hoes

If caterpillar start their wahala, you must spray farm again.

Put fertilizer

Then wait till harvest.



All the process listed up there need money, a bottle of herbicide is 4k here, fertilizer is for the rich hence we use cow dungs sometimes. can you do everything alone? NO, you must be paying people to help you on every step. it's not easy as you thing or put it

JBriel:
Go to the bottomest low you can start and start there. I just gave you a synopsis of starting with a plot of maize and how you need just 30,000 Naira.

I have maize already, infact that is our breakfast now. Is not that i don't have anything, even now, i have cassava but i dare not sell it cos that is our major source of food till yams come out. The cassava is close to finish now but I'm just praying it should last till August when yams are ready, if not, hunger fit kill person

JBriel:
Money dey that farming..plan am well you can make even one million in just a year


My dear, people build the life they want not just wish. You have to envision the life you want from where you are, evaluate the little resources you have and plan around it however little.


I paid for my Waec selling ugwu yet was one of the best at my time.

There is money in farming but you must have capital to run it

MufasaLion:
This your statement made you sound stupid.

How?

I don't just want people to know my main account

blazingblender:
Oh men
I know this is northern guy

You are right

JBriel:
Eyah

Is that bad, i know what i use to pass through to put food on the table, site work? Sucked away removal? Farming till my waist is sour? Begging my juniors online and offline? You can mention it.

I even ended up supporting Tinubu for a promise to paid but nothing still came, infact, I'm always open to all form of hustling but it seems my efforts are not still ok. I feel like running away from home but that will be same as giving my old mother sniper to drink. I thought of learning an online skill in the nights but who will dash me laptop and data?

This life is not balanced

I created this account to share this topic to share this important message with you all, pls pardon my errors while reading.

I'm someone who never appreciate my late father until he died, i use to see many here talking bad about their parents (especially their father) i even read a thread recently about such topic recently and with what just happened to me this night, i feel like putting the record straight for people to learn from my story.

My father had 4 wives when he was alive, infact bringing the second, third and fourth wife to the house against my mothers wish was a problem in the first place, our mother will always fight for his children to get something from my father for us, our mother also made sure that we see him as a bad man. I was the most vocal and his disrespectful child. He will always warn me and tell me how i will understand when i grow up but i paid little attention to his warning. It came to a point that whenever i needed money and he didn't provide, i will pick anything in the house and sell it at any price. My mother will always blame him for my bad behavior all that which made me feel secured. This happened right from my primary school to university level. To cut the story short, i really gave my father a tough time.

But in all this, my father loved me, he paid my school fees right from primary school up to university level, lately, the pressure become too much on him cos taking care of more than 12 children was not easy, this made him to drop down the ladder and become poor somehow, then it happened that i become so sick and nearly died, this man borrowed, borrowed and borrowed to pay my hospital bills till the other children started complaining, i stayed in the hospital for more than 7months and the bill was something else, infact, if not for some politicians, i wonder where he would have gotten the money to pay all the bills.

Meanwhile, i got married before 20, with 2 children, my father was responsible for them also, i again pregnanted another girl and had a baby with her, my dad was also responsible for this too.

When i come back from the hospital, there was nothing on me, i eventually drop out of school and pack home. It was at this point that i started appreciating my father's efforts, mum retired and pension was not coming, all eyes were on him to provide for everyone. There is nothing my father did not do get money, i become his closet friend at this critical stage, infact, other children started accusing him that he spent their heritage on me so i should be the one to take care of him. Lastly my dad went and marry another girl for me because my mother was getting older and there was nobody around to even cook for him. He started teaching me about life but death snatch him from me in February this year.

After the burial, my first wife brought back the children to me and traveled out of the village, the other girl also bring back the child cos she was getting married. My wife also had a baby. This means I'm to provide for four children and my wife. My mother has been helping but she is too old now to do anything. I turned to an online begger here too but nothing is coming from it.

My sure plug is farming, i normally go to the farm in the morning, come online in the afternoon and look for a giveaway on any platform, go back to the farm in the evening, come online again to see opportunities. Mind you, i will never scam someone here, neither am i doing any Yahoo but i use to beg like there is no tomorrow.

What makes me to write this is because, i caught my 13year daughter this night kissing a guy, i beat the hell out of her and you need to hear what this small girl told me, i know she is right and deep down, i know that i failed her. She told me in the face that she hate me but this is a girl I'm paying her school fees in jss1, she didn't even like farming but i use to suffer and give her food and whatever she wants but look at the shame, i don't know what to say or do but may God forgive me if i kill myself cos this life is not worth it.

I'm put this piece so that other people will learn from it, I'm not begging for and money here pls, i may even deactivate this account this night.






Thank you all
