Politicians are wicked!

You had 8 whole years yet you didn't increase minimum wage

only to turn around and increase it at the twilight of your tenure!

This is a setup!

That's what we call determination, focus and unity of purpose. All three are lacking in an otherwise great nation like Nigeria.

SEGLIZ:
are you sure of this? cause I learnt those guys are stubborn and ruthless.

That's the norm here.

god2good:
Please as rain started falling at your location?

Yes

SEGLIZ:
I wanted ask about herders then I saw cattle grazing in one of the pictures. how safe is that area from herders and cattle grazing your farm and crops.

Once planting starts, the herders relocate.

I also bought 12kg of hybrid maize seed.

The variety is Oba Super 6 from Premier seeds. This takes about 100 to 110 days to mature.

A pack of 2kg is 2500 Naira.

I plan to plant this on about half a hectare.

I was at the farm yesterday morning to supervise the clearing of the last plot. There was complete breakdown of peace!

A man came to stop my workers that he also paid for the same plot. The boys too no gree so a fight ensued. So I intervened to calm down the situation and took the man to the house of the person I leased the land from. I discovered he collected money from the man too for the same plot. After much argument he agreed to give the man another plot or return his money.

I was so disappointed in the man.

Jamestown123:
Only 31 ridges made by 4 boys? Those boys are lazy or it's not their area of work. 1 person, especially those TIV's guys can make more than 100 ridges a day.

Na so free things the always dey.

None

Toh.

Yesterday he was a governor with so much powers, today he is a wanted fugitive.

Power is transient.

.

This is what they were able to achieve yesterday.

Good morning guys. The past two days have been hectic. I have been out and about looking for labourers since tractors are not easy to come by. Yesterday I got about four boys from my work place who made 31 ridges for me. I only took care of their transport and feeding.

No 1. needs no clearing

Number 2. has been cleared...

Remaining 3 and 4.

COST OF LEASING THE FOUR PARCELS OF LAND

1. 11681.4 m² = 36,000

2. 9201.26, m² =36,000

3. 5966.47 m² = 18,000

4. 6230.38 m² =18,000

Transport and other miscellaneous costs = 4,000.

I also got another 3 plots that measure 9201.26, 5966.47 and 6230.38 metre square each.

FARM SITE SELECTION

So I was able to lease four parcels of land in different locations close to the State capital but not far from each other.
I got this for 36,000 Naira for one year. This particular plot needs no weeding as there are no grasses on it.

Ok, I will. Thanks for following.

I plan going to Oturpo next from Delta next month. keep the thread updated

ForValour:
Following. Where is the farm located

Good day Nairalanders, I created this diary to document my farming experience this year.

I have read so many threads on crop cultivation on this forum and yearned to start something myself but the opportunity only came this year so I grabbed it with my two hands.

My parents are retired civil servants and are practicing farmers. While growing up, we ate mostly what we grew on the farm and I am glad to say I became one of the farm hands from the age of six.

So this terrain is not a strange one for me. I shall draw from my previous experience and from the knowledge I acquired from this Forum to execute this project. I pray for the strength to update this thread regularly.

Happy Birthday my President.

Rukevwe

benuejosh:
Name of the boy please. I wan check something.

They said all white party, my people the fly different colours.

The HOTTEST part of HELL should be reserved for this so called stakeholders. Where were they when Ortom plundered the State for 8 whole years?

Now they are shouting because the Governor is paying salaries and pensions and building infrastructure instead of sharing money.

To HELL with them.

What do they do to earn more?

In terms of research where do they stand?

That salary should be okay for them because our universities are just like advanced secondary schools.

Just to trend o. Your children may see this tomorrow and feel ashamed.

You are supposed to be a farm worker not a businessman

You have zero people skills.

so they lied.

After 24 years of democracy no single refinery is working in Nigeria!

These do not look like distressed houses!
