okpouman: But they always say it's only Hausa that farm.and it's Igbo people that say that the most I won't deny our people do say that, but here's what we mean, there are bigger number of farmers in the North Compared to Est, but we also have good number of farmers here whose main focus is Palm Oil production, Cassava, Rice, Maize etc you hardly see a beans farmer this side |

brain54: I didn't understand everything you said here...
Like what is kala fly? And what has wild pigs got to do with it, penetration, nature , culture etc. I really didn't get you fully. I have an idea though of what you are saying.
But I think the Fulanis follow a grazing route in the bushes/forests and your village/LGA may just be outside that mapped route/path and that's why they do not pass through there or you don't see them around that side! Here's what I mean in simple term 1: there's no record or Fulani herdsmen since the beginning 2: other surrounding villas are strong and do not allow cows cos it destroys farm lands 3: By sophistication,; almost every household for this side have Riffle so you get what you want  |

Imindmybusiness: Please edit your post and remove your LG before the herdsmen see that fresh looking rice farm and remember your area. They are everywhere and their apologists abound here too. Here's sophisticated bro  penetration will be so hard due to nature and culture of our people Too many kala fly around due to wild dangerous animals like wild pigs etc The rest is history |

MatrixCircle: Why kill the animals and why not farm them. The grass is green that could have fed the animals and give you more money. Catching them Is very hard only through hunting |

Lukuluku69: It is like a Farmer's Cooperative Society.
Where they join hand to till members farms and plantations.
While on your farm, you provide merriments in form of food and drinks.
This was amongst the Yorubas.
Okay thanks 
Lovely farm your parents have there. Lovely farm 🚜 |

I'm really so upset hearing this.
This is a life saving technique you should learn and you're speaking English?
There are so many native knowledge that have gone extinct because younger generations after them were too nonchalant and ignorant to learn.
Hear this guy with proximity to learn something worth passing down generations but will not! I should visit again by April/May I wouldn't hesitate to ask them |

2mch: Tell your parent to wear rain boots when walking around the farm to prevent snake bite. Also, there is gardening gloves your mum can use to prevent bites to her hands too if possible. But it’s important that anti-venom is always stocked in and around farming communities. Pets like cat and dog keep them away though. They do use rain boot most of the time |

Originalsly: Interesting thread. I'm glad you're proud of their farm ...do they even need to buy anything? My concern is what interest have you taken in maintaining the farm when they are no longer able to? Are you going to sell it? I hope you take time to learn as much as possible to take over the farm ...know how to stack the yams etc. Being in the city ... you should be finding market for the products or even selling yourself maybe once a month or when excess produce is available. This kind of produce is labeled "organic" abroad...is very expensive... and is in great demand as people are moving away from GMO products. Lastly..... find out and document what they use to treat snake bites . Snake bite will become more common as people move into snake territory l....and farther away from hospitals. Victims will more return to traditional treatment. Don't let such knowledge die ...it wouldn't take more than a few hours of your time to qualify as a snake doctor. On the palm tree plantation .... is it really profitable in these times? In the future ...if it not ... I'll suggest they convert it to a coconut plantation. Coconut water ...is in such a high demand abroad that there are sooo many brands selling "fake" coconut water . I don't know of any brand presently that is selling pure coconut water... the last one I knew was a direct import from Brazil ... apparently Brazil couldn't keep up with the demand or something went wrong. Some Korean green grocers are now hauling actual green coconuts from Florida ... two trailer loads per week in my neighborhood ...have a special section and employee who cuts the coconut ....$6 per coconut ....or $10 per container of two coconut water. Just saying.. I am still young and also I like Natural environment than City life, so yes I plan to continue whenever they stop, in my village a plot of land inside the forest is about #10k-#30k depending on the area, so yes I plan to return to my root but definitely not now I want to establish a lot of businesses first then run it until a certain time when nature starts calling I will retire to my farm  |

Love800: How do you guys preserve yams after harvesting?
My harvested yams don't usually last. Some weeks after the harvest, it start to decay with holes visibly seen in it. And some insects that looks like ant will start running all-over the yams.
Its so sad. We don't add any chemical just the way you see it |

Love800: That means it wasn't a high-venomous snake. Let the type that bite that female singer in abuja just by-mistakenly gain access to you guys farm, then una eye go clear.
You guys better know a hospital that have anti-venom just incase and also knowledge of first-aid that will sustain you before accessing an hospital. And lastly try not to get bitten by wearing safety-boots and being high-alerted in the farm.
No traditional methods/medicine can heal a potent snake bite. They've been using that method since the days of our for Fathers, it works 100 percent no anti venom so the traditional way always works |
