how can you pour sugar on your plants and expect insects to stay away?

Have you make your research?

Indian farmers use Coca-Cola and Pepsi instead of expensive pesticides.

Farmers in India have used Coca-Cola and Pepsi as substitutes for pesticides to keep crops free of bugs.In India, agriculture provides a livelihood for the majority of the population. The use of pesticides to kill or control insects, weeds, fungi, rodents, and microbes that hinder crop growth is widespread. In the wake of increasing prices of chemicals manufactured by international companies, farmers in India have reportedly sprayed Coca-Cola and Pepsi in their fields. In 2004, the Guardian reported that hundreds of farmers in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Chattisgarh were turning to Coke to save their crops from bugs and insects as soft drinks were much cheaper than chemical pesticides. The BBC, too, covered the news on how farmers in India tackle pests using soft drinks, noting that the trend of using Indian brands of colas was seen in the eastern Indian state of Chhattisgarh and in other parts of India. Agricultural specialists Devendra Sharma and Sanket Thakur said that Indian farmers have been using soft drinks as a cheap alternative to pesticides to increase productivity. Coca-Cola spokesperson in Atlanta had asserted that they were aware of a single instance of a farmer using their soft drink for his crop management routine. However, it was ineffective in pest management. CSE (Center for Science and Environment) and TERI, the leading voluntary agencies in India, analyzed soft drinks and discovered that Coca-Cola and Pepsi's brands contained pesticide residues higher than the specified norms. Though there have been reports of farmers in India using Coca-Cola and Pepsi as substitutes for pesticides, it's not clear if this is still a practice, or if the practice was ever widespread in the first place. As such, we deem this claim to be partly true.

CORRECTION: We now judge this claim to be partly true instead of just true. This is to better reflect the fact that the reports are either very old or else not widespread.

But why the embarrassment? They were both adult and have the right to do whatever they want!

A great lesson to uncle Jonah and others, let’s enjoy another beautiful trip, the only reason we are all here is just to die one day!

Wetin him Dey find?

Let’s see how it ends

I pray he wasn’t cause like that his Brother in Canada

Justrruunn:
Really? I will check it up

Modify, thanks

I’ve seen the video about 4 weeks ago, can someone please verify is this is Gabon or any other African country

MadamExcellency:
Why are Nigerian Youths not interested in farming.

Every of our AI and technology are all about money collection and transfers. Why are there no developments in farming and food technology? Nothing in medical sciences and Electricity generation.

We should concentrate less on singing and dancing to solving our existential problems.

Banditry
Non availability of chemicals and fertilizer
Basic infrastructure
Storage facilities
Just to mention but a few

Beenibroz:
Why is the president of Togo not in that list. That man has ruled Togo after his father's death for more that 30 years now and he is still expected to stay at least the next 5 years again.

Really? I will check it up

sunboy:
Op, please remove Etwasini… they are a kingdom and ruled by kings, so that is a legitimate leader. Others are not!

The trend is not about the legitimacy of the leaders, is all about the longevity of the leaders…. Thanks for the observation

Basically none, average African man always like to lord on his fellow Brother, this what the Westerners understand

Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo (44 year rule) - Equatorial Guinea
Obiang, who came to power in an August 3, 1979 coup, is Africa's longest-serving leader, with 44 years at the helm.

Paul Biya (42 year rule) - Cameroon
Cameroon has lived through 42 years of largely unchallenged and hardline rule under Biya. The 90-year-old runs the country through a very small circle of aides, whom he appoints and banishes as he sees fit. Openly talking about succession is taboo even for his closest supporters, and Biya has overseen a ruthless crackdown on dissent since his highly contested re-election in 2018.

Denis Sassou Nguesso (39 year rule) - Republic of the Congo
Denis Sassou Nguesso, 79- has been in power for 39 years, albeit not uninterruptedly. He was president from 1979 to 1992, then returned to office in 1997 after a civil war. He was re-elected in 2016 after the passing of a new constitution, then won a fourth mandate on March 21 this year.

Yoweri Museveni (36 year rule) - Uganda
In Uganda, Yoweri Museveni, 78, has led his country for 36 years since January 1986. He was re-elected in January 2021 for a sixth term after a contested campaign.
A Supreme Court ruling to abolish an age ceiling of 75 allowed him to stand once again and continue serving.

King Mswati III (37 year rule) - Kingdom of Eswatini
Eswatini, Africa's last remaining absolute monarchy, has been ruled by King Mswati III for 36 years. He ascended to the throne in April 1986 aged just 18.

Isaias Afwerki (29 year rule) - Eritrea
Isaias Afwerki, 76, has ruled the Horn of Africa nation with an iron fist since independence in May 1993.

Faure Essozimna Gnassingbé Eyadéma (18 year rule) - Togo
(born 6 June 1966[1]) is a Togolese politician who has been the president of Togo since 2005. Before assuming the presidency, he was appointed by his father, President Gnassingbé Eyadéma, as Minister of Equipment, Mines, Posts, and Telecommunications, serving from 2003 to 2005.

Buhari of CPC, Bola Ige of AD or ACN worked for Obasanjo

Just imagine Yemi OSInbajo as president and Zullum as vice president

festacman:
Tinubu's life has been magical, to say the least. There are too many questionable gaps but somehow he managed to fill them up anyways, escaping ambushes laid for him and stepping on stones thrown at him to rise and to keep moving forth.

From peasantry background in Osun State, he somehow ended up a Tinubu in Lagos and made it to US. From an anonymous background, he cowed both Obasanjo's onslaught and political dynasties to build a very expansive political structure across Nigeria. From poverty-stricken background, he took advantage of both legitimate and illegitimate opportunities to become wealthy.

Today, he is the president and the face of Nigeria after defying Buhari's amateurish opposition and following a controversial election in which his opponents chose to divide themselves into units rather than unite as a whole.

Look, if he survives the ongoing legal onslaughts both home and abroad, I will move a motion for a bunch of sweet-smelling rose flower to be given to him because omor, what a ride it would been for him.

Truly, some mothers do have them.

You speaking my mind

Why not continue with the Oranminyan group he personal brought

Samakus:
18 year old is pricing car. And here I am


Motivational speakers, what do you have to tell me?

Car is just a necessity, go and invest that amount with you and in 20years you will be the ceo a car company…

ALMUSTAQIM:
Aregbe the traitor, the failure

Why did you think he’s a traitor?

I know why he use that jersey cover his trouser

BoldBrainz:
Whether technically or biologically or ecumenically, Fagbemi is a Yoruba man please. Royalty for that matter.

Lateef Fagbemi is a Yoruba man from Kwara State,
Kwara State is in North Central geopolitical zone in Nigeria.

Kingosytex:
Look how these guys are begging
Is Kwara a Yoruba or Fulani land? How on earth can you be subdued in your own land?
The issue is that once you give the Fulanis an inch, they take a mile. Ilorin is gone and it's just a matter of time before they take over the entire Kwara.

Some times such is needed, just like when you see your brother been completely fell in love with a wrong girl

BoldBrainz:
Please when did Prince Abdullateef Olasunkanmi Fagbemi become a Northerner? Abi na my eyes dey pain me ni?

He said technically

haffaze777:
Well you right sir.

My type of argument both are right! And they move on just like there was no argument at all…

If I chop life, I go die, if I no chop life I go still die noni… me na every night I Dey chop life oh…

Snitch24:
Your attention is on the wrong set of people
Imagine thr current situation without jobs
Just Imagine how unsafe it can get
Our leaders are confidentially carting away billions on a daily basis without sympathy

And the youth are here fighting each other because of religion, ethnicity and politicians. Instead of focusing on the main challenge, which is the system…

Have you ever held your breath for a few hours? What about 30 minutes? Because telling the fraudsters who scam for a living to stop their devilish activities is like asking them to stop breathing, is like asking them to die. An unless you're Tom Cruise, who could stay under water for minutes defusing bombs or blowing up one, I don't think any one would sit and wait for his death with full consciousness.
Asking some fraudulent persons to desist from their dishonourable acts without something legal and productive for them to fall back on is like asking them to commit suicide, it's that bad sometimes!
Do you consider Nigerians and other Africans who risk it all to cross the Sahara desert and the Mediterranean sea without thinking much about safety to be stupid and senseless?
Every year hundreds of Nigerians lost their lives either in the Sahara desert or at the Mediterranean sea, while pushing their luck to Europe.
What would you say about a country whose political leaders and even a sitting President going to foreign countries for medical checkup and treatment?
These scammers are sophisticated and intelligent. If it was an honourable field some would have been Pulitzer prize winners for their sugar coated words.
A Nigerian fraudster sold a non-existent airport for $242 million to a Brazilian bank in 1995.
US authorities have announced charges against 80 people, most of them Nigerians, in a wide-ranging fraud and money laundering operation that netted millions of dollars from victims of internet con jobs.
American authorities on Thursday unsealed a 252-count grand jury indictment charging those people in an operation that procured at least $46m from victims of internet scam jobs.
Let the sleeping dog lie, don't tickle her.
Most of this fraudster are educated, some have degrees. And they all something in common “unemployed “
I do not think that some humans would rather scam to make a living if they had other options like a paying job. unemployment should not be an excuse to destroy the lives of the innocent, even though some cases are just pure greed and gullibility, one has to be in there shoes to really understand what is going on.
As you may have heard: Nigeria population is mostly made up of youth. About 60% of a population of around 200 million is below the age of 40, if Jobs are not provided for the teaming youth, security is going to be a huge challenge, not just for the Nigerian government but the entire world.
Tunde Fowler, FIRS boss, says the agency received 700,000 applications (2,000 were by graduates with first class honors degrees) for only 500 advertised positions. With federal agencies strapped for cash, Fowler says FIRS cannot employ any more workers than it can manage.
In the past, recruitment exercises for Nigeria’s civil service have attracted thousands of applicants but not on this scale. In 2014, during one of the worst recruitment drives in recent history, 16 young people died in stampedes as 125,000 job seekers applied for 4,500 jobs with Nigeria’s immigration service.
An idle mind is the devil's workshop
To me, Nigerians didn't necessarily bring this challenges open themselves, our colonial masters did a terrible job an now their children and grand children (westerners) are paying for it. And this is why no one is innocent on the current happenings in developing countries like Nigeria.
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere
Our government is corrupt and lawless but we trivialise this very fact. The international body doesn't care much, after all corrupt Nigerian politicians siphon money to Western countries with the help of the westerners… of course, an they are benefiting from the sorrows of Nigerians.
My personal opinion is that; when you see injustice anywhere, when you see abnormalities in any part for the world, do what you can where you are to make a difference, to contribute favourable because the world is a global village, or so they say, and what ever that happens in one part may affect the other parts directly or indirectly.
My warning to internet users is to be very careful. Scams might only increase in this digital era, and don't only safe guard yourself from Nigerians but from everyone in the world.
Edit: My job here is to tell one and all the truth, unbiased. I'm in no way in support of scams or dishonourable means of making a living.
Thank you for reading.
