Well, i am mature more dan u do. I am nt here to insult anybody. Im expressing my own point. pls express ur point too.. If u r nt satisfy wit d result den u can go to tribunal... Play mature! we r violence-free ppl, ur attitude has even shows who u r. I'm nt comparing failures, jst to let u abt pensioners n civil servants in other states n to let u understnd dat Ajimobi is nt perfect n he has done his best so far.

acaolly1:
What makes u a matured adult?

Zoom off.
We are discussing serious issues

hamzatkayode:
I wanna ask u dis:
1. For nt paying workers n pensioners.. is it only in oyo state dis is happening ? how much is Oyo State allocation ? Please do you research.
2. Will FG allow a state govt to tamper with natural resources dt is meant for d whole Nigerains without d authority of FG ?
3. Have u bn to North before ? We aint farming 1/4 of their farming in North.
I am living in Ibadan n I am not suffering, i am enjoy Ajimobi Govt.

So failures must be compared with failures?
Hmnnnnn
I reason with matured people not kids that come to spurt jargons because they have access to internets
Do me a favour, don't ever quote me again until when you are matured to be in the midst of adult

dguy4:
pls if u don't stay in ib abeg don't just comment u don't know what u are saying ...I stay in the same area with the governor the only road he repaired in that area he closed it for his own private use . flood came and carried away our bridge thank God for the private companies around that won't allow the stuff to affect their businesses .....He talks anyhow so rude .. Anyways the ppl have made their choice they should live with the consequences

Thank you for this.
Most are just talking for sentimental purpose. They think everyone is same.
Oyo State people are suffering.
GES farmers stuff never get to farmers.
Workers are suffering
Pensioners are crying
Oyo state has resources that could be developed but the government would rather wait for oil money
Massive land in Oyo State for Agriculture
Oyo State farmers are the largest producers of Maize, Yam, cassava etc.
Oyo state have Shea nut
They produce charcoal
But the government prefer abandoning the resources and wait for crumbs from the federal government whereas gold are wasting in his backyard.
What happened to generating resources through agriculture?
I got to rest my case

Like earlier said, majority of Ibadan people are not literate, they have no access to internet and therefore could not express themselves.
I bet it most of the people commenting don't live in Oyo State.
I also note most keep saying Ibadan and Ibadan all over.
Ibadan is a developed place and Ajimobi polished it to show off to the outside world.
Please visit the other constituencies and spend a day with the masses.
Please understand i said the masses and not party members.
Most that are attesting to Ajumobis good work has a direct link or connection where they are getting their largesses.
Ibadan has 33 LGA.
How does the paparazzi in Ibadan represent the development of the majority.
Do me a favour, visit or get in touch with the other local government areas and get to live their life.
The 4 years -1 today. God will spare us all
A change in whatever direction would have brought hope to my people.
My people have taken their faith in their hand.
They understand they have weary days ahead with Ajimobis government.
My prayer is God will send a messiah to the talakawas, A person after their heart not the greedy selfish people that keep showing face.
We will pray for a better person irrespective of party and God will grant their heart desire.
For the Government We say more grease.

Supremor:
I really do not know much about Oyo politics but in my opinion I think Ajimobi has done better than his predecessors.Akala has ruled in Oyo state before same for Ladoja and I can't remember Oyo state been ruled any better than what Ajimobi has done; the credit Akala support gives to his government is that he lavishes money hence the nickname ATM and people could feel his presence anywhere he goes but that in my opinion does not define good governance and as for Ladoja who is so loved by teachers especially because they say he pays their salaries promptly aside that ask his supporters what his achievements were and they will they you he was handicapped from performing by the influence and interference of Adedibu there are not many things to point to as his achievements while in office, the masses bitterness against Ajimobi largely centres on the fact the say he demolished houses indiscriminately(some say without compensation) but no one cares to know if those houses have C of O or follows the masterplan. My heartfelt sympathy only goes to Seyi Makinde whom I preferred he's the only one whose hands are clean among all the contestants but as for others I think Ajimobi is a better candidate

I can understand you because you are not here.
Ajimobis government is for few people.
He has the highest votes not the majority votes.
Akala, Ladoja , Teslim are recycling new wine in an old bottles. But they for selfish reasons could not work together to bring a new breed.
Makinde would have been it if they rally round him.
But they were all self centred.
In some of my earlier post you will see itemise things that could make a big difference in peoples life.
Oyo is big but the governor did not try.
Its only in Ibadan and the cities that Ajumobi governs not the rural dwellers

alrahmanonline:
lier!!!!!! i stay in oyo state stop spreading lies all over, it will take you nowhere

Please be civil in arguing your point. Calling someone outright a lier because he express himself speak so much about you.
People are expressing their opinion.
Be matured please

haftob:
He dint get majority of the votes but he has the highest no of votes (they are 2 different things). And wat hapnd was dat majority votes were splitted btw Ladoja(Accord),Akala(LP),Teslim(PDP) and Seyi Makinde(SDP)

True. Their selfish interest has cost the masses. The masses are left with their fate.
Tomorrow this people will compensate themselves with appointment while my people wallow in pain and hunger.
Nobody smile or jubilate in my place today. The sadness was written all over. I dont belong to any party but i feel their pains.
It was like a death sentence.
I have never seen people so sad yet they could not voice it out.

Oyo state has massive land that could be developed but how will a governor that visit his constituence once in 4 years know what to do.
Their are deathtraps of bridges that links Oyo State to Ogun State and Kwara State.
Oyo state have the majority of farmers but they work with hoe and cutlass
14 tractors each were claimed to be bought. But after the paparazzi only 1 remain in each local government.
Rig are in the local governments yet borehole were not supply to the community.
Electricity in most part of Oyo State is once in a week
Oyo State produce the largest cassava in the south west yet no processing factory to mop it up
Government job is only for party members and their croonies
I weep for my people because i feel their pain
Chairmanship and councillor reps are appointed by the government.
Ajimobis development in majority of the Local government was a motor park that was recently built
I can keep on and on.

The OP is right.
80% of the people are not happy with Ajimobi.
I live in Oyo State.
Ajimobi is a paparazzi government.
But Akala, Ladoja, Teslim and Makinde selfish interest cost the state another 4year of hardship.
They split the parties into groups
The masses are feeling the brunts of Ajimobi
Salaries are owned.
Pension are not paid
Workers are on temporary appointment
He employed them some month prior to election.
I feel the pain of my people
Poverty is at the highest level.
Ajimobi is for the rich
I am not an indigene and i dont work for the government.
But Oyo people are suffering.
Please and please dont quote me for ezpressing myself
I wouldnt have written but most people felt the OP is lying
Primary school children stay under the tree as classroom
Its really sad
Most Oyo people are not too literate so could not be online
Oyo State is suffering
At OP I salute your courage for speaking out
I pray God will send Oyo people a messiah
Your leaders are the most self centred people in Nigeria.
Oyo people are hardworking
Ajimobi did not perform.
He rode on Buharis victory
The masses are suffering

AreaFada2:
@Jethro, can you manage on one's behalf from A to Z? Like a watermelon farm.
And how much will each phase cost till harvest & marketing and what will be your commission?

No. I don't manage farms.

hajlat:
.
You got it wrong.I presently run watermelon farm in the area .I have the pictures in my phone but I don't know how to upload it here.

Please could you explain. One can get a ploughable land in Ifo for N5,000 per acre is what you are saying? I am asking because i dont understand. I dont think this requires picture uploading.

mwatkins:
Nice one. How much is the cost to set up an acre of vegetable with the technical skills provided??

What type of vegetable farm?
Irrigated farm or rain fed?
What type of seed will be use?
Hybrid or open field?
Labour availability in your area?
Type of fertilizer? Synthetic or organic?
Your Soil type and treatment required?
Is it a staked or unstaked vegetable?
What type of bed to be use?
Is it one season planting or a continuous one?
These are some of the factors that determines what the cost will be to take an acre of any vegetable.
please help attend to some of these question and we might be able to breakdown the cost to suit your purpose.

jasper7:
15,000 is cheap for an already cleared farmland. I know the price I rent at.

Thank you my Oga

Fhemmmy:
Ummmm . . . But are you comparing apple to apple? How close to the road is the one in Ifo, how motorable is it getting there, and i think you need to consider all the perks that comes with the one that the OP is giving too . . . Just my own opinion thoough.

You got the gist sir.
I think she got it mixed up.
An acre lease in Ifo could be N5,000 but not a ploughable acre in Ifo for N5,000

hajlat:
15k is on the high side.In my area, Ifo local governmen,t which is closer to Lagos State, an acre is 5k per annum.I believe this forum is meant to assist each other.May be you can review the fee for intending Nairalanders.Thanks/God bless.

If you can get a ploughable acre of land for 5k in Ifo please jump at it.
I can almost bet the trees are not yet removed. Please find out how much it cost to uproot trees from an acre of land in Ifo and possibly give the feedback on the forum.
We can then compare

bamdexfarms:
15000 per acre? is that not a bit high?

For ploughable land? No.
Ploughable means land that has been cleared and all trees removed.
It cost a lot to clear open up farmland not to talk of manually cleared

The planting season is here again. The heavens has been open for torrential down pour.
Time to sow the seed.
Oppourtunity for intending farmers that willing and ready to take the bold step.
Ploughable farm land for lease.
The main purpose is for vegetable planting.
All you need do is land clearing.
The trees has been removed
Move in your tractor and start working.
N15,000 makes you the landlord of an acre for the next 365 days.
Farm is motorable and close to the road
Tractors are available for lease at N3,000 per acre.
Various type of vegetable are at your disposal.
Technical support are withing reach from vegetable expert.
Only 15 acres is available.
Market link is not an issue.
Just for vegetable
What are you waiting for?

saliubello:
Two wrongs dont make a right. By shooting his cattle, you have just disturbed his right to property. I know the fulani herdmen can be difficult sometimes but the law is always there to protect everyone. If he has damaged your farm crops, Be gentle, be calm. Get 1 or 2 persons to join you catch like 1 big one or 2 not very small ones of his cows. Report the damage at the nearest police station. The cows you caught will be taken down as evidence and I can assure you that you will claim your full damages.
Cassava is the most grown crop in my town. But Im never interested in it because while growing up I had a raw deal with cattle rearers. Anytime my old man plants cassava we never get to harvest it. Either they are eaten up by cows while at the tender stage or when its nearing maturity. That only piss me off cassava. Even if you dermacate your farm boundary with bamboo or barbed wires. 20-30 acres Im talking about here.
@all. Let me share the benefits of those guys with you. If you make "real" friends with them
1. They will not eat up your "whole" farmland anymore.
2. They can be bringing you free fura plus nunu.
3. There feaces will make good manure for your farm for tomatoes, cucumber and watermelon. You know that anywhere they just left after residing there for long is hot cake for farmers.
4. You too can own a herd of cattle by buying females and males of N40,000 worth for keep with them. You can terminate the contract at
your will and pay them a token. This part has its dos and donts
So, I'll suggest a change of attitudes towards them.
Nigeria is an indivisible Country. We all can co- habit harmoniously. Needless to say that Our president- Elect has more pressing matters to attend to than "mere impatience on the part of the farmers and herdsmen".

Thank you for explaining this.
I am glad someone could relate with what happens in the rural stead.

I really appreciate every one contribution and I believe we all express in our opinion what we felt might have been the best solution.
Its better not to make an enemy of a community where one is investing so much.
Reason: We all need each other to survive.
What's the essence of the electric fence when you have to be on the defense or in constant preparation for war.
With my little experience relating with the Fulani herdsmen I understand they are very friendly when you take time to reason with them.
They will go out of their way to protect you and your properties once you are friends.
I have had series of discussions with them and they are eager and willing to plant grasses for their cows.

They will gladly restrict the cows to some area if they have access to drinking water for the cows.
They also said cows are bigger when the wandering stress is reduced.
Some of them pay to farmers to purchase maize stalk and cassava peels for the cows.
The plan is to sink some boreholes at some designated areas so herds men can fetch for their animals.
Its just that there is little that a group can do.
That's what prompt the write ups
I envisage and foresee a mutual benefitting relationship in peaceful co existence of the two communities.

OLAMIMO12:
@excess4luv.......pls search for this username : jethro2. ask her as many questions as you like. She felt bitter whenever i answer questions. She will respond. am sorry for the inconvinency.

Are you alright?
Please don't let me get into you.
Don't ever mention me irresponsibly again.
I asked if you are an expert farmer or an intending farmer?
Do watch your mouth.
I seriously don't take to be insulted especially by kids
A word is enough.

@ Soloxam. Please attend to the new farmers questions on this thread.
Seed and whatever information on watermelon.
I know you have offices in the Northern part. Please link them up for seed.
Thank you

Soloxam:
@Senato, as regards the seed verities: we have water melon koloss f1, it pack in 50gs, Kolack is pack in 500g,100g and 10g, sugar baby is as well pack the same way kaolack is packed, we have chalenstine gray, it the oblong type pack in 100g, Tomato verieties we have open pollinated and Hybrids, the open pollinated are packed in 100g and 10g, the verities available now are, tomato Tropimech,uc82b,Roman vf,Roman savanah,Tima,Rio grand de,Buffalo. The hybrid verities are tomato Jaguar f1, Lindo F1,cobra f1,Nadira F1, panthern 17f1, copernic f1,kiara f1, Thorgal f1, kelvin f1. These verities all have specific season u can plant them, reason because the are resistance to different kind of disease which are always peculiar to a particular season, so when you come to us we tell u what to plant at a point in time, and they are some that can be planted any time of the year.......m As regards the price I can't mention now because the price list for the year is not out now so I won't want to be quoted that you told us a price and now we are ready to buy u are given us another price, am very sure there will surely be increment in price, and am sure u too knows the reason, increase in dollar rate....... But as at last year price list the hybrids tomato if u are buy in bulk its sold for 6k/50g, retails is 6500, u have minimal of 15000 seeds, the open pollinated, bulk 1900/100g, retail 2000 minimal of 30000seeds. Pls the price will change, am very sure about that the management are working on it. Thanks.

OLAMIMO12:
@korede.....if ur farmland has been completely prepared, u can plant. provided you hav source of water if no rainfall on tym.

@ Olamimo. I thought you are new in farming or an intending farmer. Have you cultivated water melon before?. I read your post where you were asking for experience farmers to be of assistance.
How come you are all over thread giving advises to suppose intending farmers?
Please I am kind of confused.

Trainees will be alloted land to practise what have been demonstratef if they so desire.
Dont be left out.
Make a date with April 20th in Ago Amodu. Saki East LGA of Oyo State.

mfm04622:
The solution is very easy. Designate pasture for the herdsman. Ensure no farmer encroach. Provide water along the way. Educate the herders on how to manage the land since they are not used to that. The farmer will have to forgo the manure from the cattle or keep their own cattle. This govt (GEJ) started this but opposition from some parts of the country and we heard nothing of it again

Seems easy but not that easy. There are lot of things involve

webhostbiz:
@jethro2, thanks for your advice. Will look into that as I am planning to do it bit by bit.

You are welcome sir

Practice practice practise
Practise on a very small scale.
practice the exact crops you want to plant
Understand the techniques and use the sample produce to source for market.
Research on what the markets demand.
Don't plant because someone gave you an overbloated figures.
Acquire intensive practical knowledge in what you want to invest in
Make friends with practicing farmers and visit the farm to see the structures and settings.
Presence of water alone does not make irrigation.
There are a lot entails.
Get to understand the farm workings.
Then you can venture into vegetables.
Vegetables are short term produce.
But they need 24hrs monitoring and maintenance.
More hands are needed in the farm
More money is spent to make large money from it.
Its worth the effort but not as simple as it seems.
Success

Oh boy!!!!!
Are you this desperate ?
Are you this lazy?
