Batists Ran The Most Divisive Campaign Nigeria Has Ever Seen

They started by saying Christians are not competent.

Taking campaigns to mosque

Imam saying the ticket is jihad

Calling everybody against Tinubu Obituary

Tinubu's campaign focused on muslims


By the way, that tweet from Reno made no sense.

You are lying and you know it.

Galaxydon1:
you are very stupid

You have not learn your lessons. Continue so You will lose again in 2027

A close call between APC and PDP. Good enough for Asiwaju in a state with that much crisis within the APC.

I hope Obidients will learn from this elections.
Insulting people older than your parents and who have achieved more than your parents can dream of, insulting Yorubas, calling hausas almajiri , insulting Muslims and trying to divide Yorubas along religious lines won’t win you elections.


Nigeria will do well under this government. Stop cursing yourself and your unborn children because your preferred candidate did not win.

Nigeria shall be great

ValCon888:
Firstly, a single mother of four is a steep hill to climb for any man. You're lucky someone is ready and willing to accept you and your four kids into his home.

Not to cohabit, but to make an honest woman out of you by asking for your hand in marriage.

At the end of the day, the choice is yours. If you don't want to then don't. For me, I'd advise you to for the security and companionship.

One thing's certain; offers like this only happen once in a lifetime.

I hope 20 years from now you won't look back at this moment and be gnashing your teeth.

My exact thought. His children are most probably grown up and he will provide the financial support and the fatherly figure the children need.

The people here are not up to 500

Tradepunter2:
I am of the same thought that the Yorubas will batray obi..... Going for a safe bet atiku, not the best and very sad choice

But atiku over that useless demonic drug barron

What do you mean by Yorubas betraying Obi. Did they owe him anything?

Anyone not supporting you is betraying you? So it is safe to say you are betraying Atiku if you don’t vote for him?

What is the size?

Jub101:
I have been working on my next project to be started on the 10th of this month. This naira change is something else even a basket of Okro price has been slashed to 2500. But we move since we don’t harvest once like maize farmers. Hope you’re all getting set? The rain is fast approaching

Is this the basket that goes for 2500?

I read through all three threads and it is obvious Op is not taking advice.
Nigerians are generally hypocrites. What Op and his animals are doing is what Fulani herdsmen are doing but I don’t see anyone blaming him for his actions.

This is not the first or second time your animals are destroying crops and you are here claiming victim.


If they insist on not collecting anything, you should have sought important people in the village to intervene and should have known they would attack you again.

Not excusing their manners but you need to look inward and see where you erred as well.

.

I wish more employers will sue employee in Nigeria to curb the ineptitude of most employees.

Most people don’t sue because of how much money they will spend. They think it is not worthwhile. But when most employers sue, it is for the long-term good of industries and service delivery in this Country.
We won’t rise until people are dutiful and diligent, very rare qualities to come by these days.
I hope people will see reason.

Samantha123:
And how will giving his wife silent treatment affect the kids when the both of them will be talking to them

You see why the op asked for married people’s advice only.

You should have left this discussion to the right people.

Hathor5:
Tell her why you didn't want her to travel to this particular event. Is it that you feel that you need to spend more time together, that you need her support, that you have an appointment yourself or whatever your reason is?

If she is reasonable, and your reason is, I don't see why you should not reach an understanding.

Sensible advice. A woman is not your wife for you to control. I believe that is where the problem is.

Op should communicate well and express why he did not want her to go.

If you knew she was social before marrying her and think you will tame her in marriage, you are very wrong.

She is an adult who can decide to disobey you, whether that’s biblical is another thing entirely.

Samantha123:
I'm not a man and I'm definitely not married, but as a woman, I think the man should give her silent treatment and pretend that she's not even present in the house.

Eat out and come home only to sleep until she acknowledges her wrongs.

And I think that it'll also depends on the kind of event she went to.

Silent treatment is childish.

Worst advice ever.

Jub101:
No you should practice crop rotation so as to reduce disease and insect infestation. We divide the farm land into portions and do rotation. Maize after Okro and vice versa

All right. Thanks

Jub101:
As the popular saying goes “ for you to receive you have to give” I have been on the receiving end for quite sometime now and I feel obligated to give back my token as a sign of appreciation for a successful farming year. Follow me as I break down in details what it entails to be successful in Okro production all year round

Thank you for sharing your experience. What did it cost you to cultivate an hectare?

Jub101:
Yield by hectacre varies and can only be determined by your agronomy practice. I get like 35basket on an acre when the Okro is at its peak. We harvest for close to two and half month which makes it like 20 harvests.

After the 2.5 months, do you clear the farm and replant?

How much seeds is needed per hectare of farmland?

(Growing Okro In Pots)

How To Grow Okro In Containers,

Learn how to grow okro in containers,
Growing okro in pots or bags doesn’t require a lot of space and it is easy too if you complete all of the planting requirements.

Okro, which is also called lady’s finger is a warm season tropical vegetable that is also grown for ornamental purposes. Its delicate foliage and showy blooms that look like hibiscus (don’t forget okro belongs to the same hibiscus family) look amazing.
Very low in calories (25 to 40 kcal per 100g), okra is a vegetable rich in vitamins A, C and P, calcium and many minerals.

Choosing a pot

Choose a pot of whatever material you like. Pot should be at least 3 gallons in size. Ideally, a 5-gallon pot that is 10-12 inches deep and similar in diameter would be perfect for one okro plant if you have got a larger pot you can grow a few plants in it. Best to choose a black colored pot as okra loves heat.

Planting Okro Seeds

The first step for growing okro is to get the seeds. Ask for the dwarf okro variety that will not grow above 5 feet tall. However, you can grow any okro variety in a pot, but it is best if you choose the dwarf one. If you live in a climate with short summers, search for varieties that mature fast.
okro doesn’t transplant well that’s why you’ll have to directly plant the seeds in the container or a biodegradable pot. Sow 2-3 okro seeds 1/2 to 1 inch deep in each pot. Water with a sprayer and keep the seeds in a bright, warm place, the substrate should remain moist until seeds germinate. The germination takes 5 to 10 days after sowing. The more warmth, the faster the germination.

Requirements for Growing Okro in Pots

Position

Pick a spot that receives full sun (at least 5-6 hours of sunlight is essential). Like tomatoes and peppers, okro requires plenty of sunlight to produce well.

Soil

The soil you use must be loamy and crumbly; it must be well draining too. Opt for a soilless potting mix that is rich in organic matter. You can also add a lot of compost or aged manure to provide the constant supply of nutrients to your okro plant.

Watering

Okro requires slightly moist soil. Water regularly to keep the soil uniformly moist and particularly more from the beginning of the flowering period and until the end of production.

Temperature

The cultivation of okra plant is extremely easy but requires a lot of heat. The plant can grow above 50 F (10 C), but to flower and to bear fruit abundantly the temperature must be around 75 to 95 F (23-35 C) ideally. The plant can tolerate higher temperatures well but fails to grow when the temperature starts to touch lower levels.

Okra Plant Care
Fertilization

Mix manure in soil to provide nutrients to the plant, you can also side dress the plant with it. Also, at the time of planting, you can add balanced fertilizer if you want. Once the plant has reached the height of 6 inches, apply a dose of balanced fertilizer again. Keep in mind that if the soil is nitrogen rich, it may promote vegetative growth at the expense of fruiting so maintain the balance. Later on, feed the plant with low in nitrogen fertilizer such as NPK 5-10-15 or 6-12-12.

Pollination

Okro is self-pollinating so you don’t need to care about pollination.

Pinching and Topping

As you’re growing okro in containers, dwarf varieties we consider, the plant will not exceed the height of 5 feet. In that case, you don’t need to care about pinching or topping.

Pests and Diseases

Okro is susceptible to fusarium wilt and nematode attack as well as aphids and whiteflies in pests. Mealybugs also affect the plant’s growth. However, these pests do more damage on plants grown in large quantities. As you’re growing okro in pots, you can easily control them.

Harvesting

Okro requires frequent harvesting. It blooms about two months from planting, and the fruits appear 5-7 days after flowering. The fruits/pods are harvested when they are still tender. Otherwise, they become fibrous and too hard to be eaten. Ideally, the picking length is between 3 to 5 inches.
How to see if your okro are not too late to be picked?
Bend the tip of any fruit and if it breaks easily this means that they are still tender and crispy and good to harvest.

What time of the year is best for planting Okra?

co787:
My wife and daughter traveled to her village in August for 3weeks and they were supposed to be back before the school resumption but she changed her mind saying her mother was seriously ill that she has to extend her stay which was fine by me and when they returned back I noticed that she has lost so much weight which I asked her why she said it was due to the stress of caring for her sick mother which is normal.

She is her only daughter and oldest of 4 her younger ones are boys so they cannot take care of their mother better than her. Here is the reason I got her arrested, during her stay in the village, her 14 years old brother raped my daughter. This is one of the reason she overstayed in the village. She didn't tell me anything about my daughter being raped she and her mother had decided to give her treatment and cover the idiot that repeatedly raped her and when she came bck she didn't say anything to me but she confided in her prophetess which in her turn has started spreading news until it came to my ears that my own daughter was raped and her own mother has kept quiet and I can imagine if it was a member of my family that did the abominable acts the whole world would have heard it and she would have done everything in her power to put in prison.

But because it is her own brother, she has decided to keep quiet and not knowing the world is small and not secret is hidden forever. I took my daughter to the hospital the result has confirmed she was tampered i was devasted she has been the best wife to me and she has helped me and my sisters to reconciled in the past but what she has done to me it is unforgivable and I have arrested her and when I bail her I will divorce her and take custody of my daughter.

I don't know if I need advice or not but your input and suggestion are welcome I will be reading all your comments.

You made the right decision.
First, a rapist must be made to face the consequences of their actions. So that boy must be made to face the music.

Your marriage is over. You can’t continue to live with a woman whose brother you put in jail so she doesn’t plan your death.

Any woman who covers up such an act is evil. Make sure to take custody of your daughter and never allow her be put in a compromising position ever again.

DSS1335:
Thank you for your honest advise.

We have been able to trace through the help of the estate caretaker and contacted her aunty who was their grandmother's point of contact in PH through out their 3 months stay. She has accepted to help us mediate in the case, she will inform her Mother (the boy's grandma) and her sister(the boy's mother) about all that transpired. That the boy lives with his parents in Obigbo before ABA. If all efforts to resolve this case peacefully fails, i will file for statutory rape charge.



This doesn't make any sense!
What will she gain for withholding such a very sensitive information from us?

When she was in SS1, i was forced to change her school after 3rd term, she confided in my wife that one of her male teacher was giving her undue attention to the point of inviting her to his house coupled with the fact that senior boys in her school were also disturbing her.

This girl doesn't lack anything, whatever she needs or payment that comes, we clear it.
We live comfortably in my 3 bedroom flat. She has her own room, i don't allow her to watch any kind of indecent movie or music by ensuring that such channels are under lock filtering out only cartoon, starlife, zeeworld, and other children friendly channels. my wife has her room but we sleep together with our 2 kids.

Sometimes in June, my wife went through her phone call history, she receives call only from the guy constantly and other female friends whom we assumed were her classmates. we inquired what association she has with this boy that calls her all time even at odd hours of the night. we knew something wasnt ok as WhatsApp chat and sms were deleted. She wasn't allowed to use Facebook as we tried our best to keep her under close watch. On weekends, in our presence, she isn't allowed to use phone as my wife always hold it.
What else could we have done. Our best wasn't enough i guess! And yes, my wife taught her sex education, i guess she was just too stupid, gullible, naive to fall for whatever the boy said. This a big lesson to all parents. We have learnt ours in a very hard way

You keep calling her naive like she is 12. You mean a 16yr old did not know what she was doing.

The guy is right to think she may have other sexual partners.

When I was reading online this evening I came across this article .......................

"The idea behind companion cropping is to create a mutually beneficial ecosystem and functionally diverse plant community to increase individual plant production," he said. "When we have different crops that fill different functional niches, we find diverse planting can produce more overall and decrease input costs."

The study included intercropping peanuts, watermelon, okra, cowpea and hot peppers.

Peanuts and cowpeas are legumes, which fix nitrogen from the air and supply it as nitrates to companion plants, Masabni said. Watermelons were chosen as a smother crop to suppress weeds and provide soil shading to conserve water moisture. Okra was chosen for its tall growth form and as a potential pollinator attractor due to its large showy flowers. Hot peppers were chosen as a potential pest barrier.

Franco utilized five treatments to test the intercropping system within the same rows, including a row of peanuts and watermelons; peanuts, watermelons and okra; peanuts, watermelon, okra and cowpeas; a row of all five plant species; and a strip intercropping system of peanuts and watermelons consisting of alternating single rows.
We found that three to four species consistently yielded higher per-unit land area compared to crops grown alone," Franco said. "We reduced inputs like fertilizers and herbicides. We actually used minimal fertilizer and no herbicides, and the only major input we utilized was irrigation. So we enhanced resource use efficiency by planting the crops together."

Masabni said intercropping is an ideal method for small-acreage growers with limited land space.

"The results are encouraging for these growers because we proved you can get better yields if you choose the right crop combinations of nitrogen fixing legumes, tall plants and smother crops," he said. "It makes me wonder how they knew to do this, but Native Americans knew exactly what they were doing, and we've proved the concept works."
