But you know what they are doing is stealing for 2023 presidential elections. That is why Lagos state will not undertake any new projects over the next 4 years. They may manage to patch up some roads and complete previously unfinished projects but I can fully assure you they will never take on any new projects. 2023 mode has been activated.

Lamasta:
They should summon Tinubu, Fashola and Ambode to come and explain to Lagosians why we have so many bad roads in spite of the huge IGR Lagos generates

I was even gonna ask, what of the current port in warri? Why have 2 when the one currently there is not even been patronised?

Mcreloaded:
The Chinese firm, according to Rotimi Amaechi, the minister of transportation, will also handle the construction of a seaport in Warri, Delta state, Daily Trust reports. S :Ppeaking in Abuja during the signing ceremony,

According to the bolded, hope they have checked the depth of the sea so we wont start hearing stories of how the sea port is not deep enough because of sand that it will require dredging every month for ships to dock

So says a man who will never have 0.0001 greatness that Muhammed Ali had.

It is so easy to throw stones at others whilst hiding behind faceless monikers on social media. And it is quite classless of you to mock anyone on the basis of their choice of religion.

That you are able to sum up the man into his choice of religion shows how narrow your thinking, shows what deficit of knowledge you have of the man and the times he lived in and clearly speaks volumes of who you are as a human being.

NwaAmaikpe:




I remember his visit...But it was when he visited 042 in 1981.
We were lucky that he touched down at the Enugu Airport. Plenty female airport workers rushed him at the VIP lounge for pictures.
The roads from mainland to New Society, Emene were crowded with people trekking to the airport to behold the World's greatest.

I still have a few Polaroid pictures of this.

Muhammad Ali's downfall began when he allowed Elijah Mohammed and the NOI indoctrinate him into converting and changing his name from Cassius Clay.

He became so haughty that there was zero regard for God.
God can neither share his glory nor be mocked that was why he ensured his gradual nervous breakdown began the day he slammed his head on the ground.

Guys, please anyone on this thread farming Momax in South West Nigeria, kindly offer guidance. There are some questions I have such as:

1) does Momax do well in the SW, as much as it does in the North (or at the very least close to that), all other things being equal (best farm practice, good soil type and so on)?

2) are these figures, for land preparation, reasonable in South West, Ogun State:
Landclearing 70k per acre
De-stumping 15k per acre
Ploughing 9k per acre
If No to #2, can anyone put me in touch with someone that can do it for a more reasonable price?

Emmachille was very helpful as i spoke to him over the phone but his operations are based in the middle belt and i just feel it is better to inquire further as to anyone who has done the above in the South West, specifically Ogun State or states with similar weather like Osun, Ekiti, Ondo.

Any idea would be helpful and is welcome.
Thanks in advance guys.

Guys, is there anyone farming Moringa, on a reasonable scale, in the South Western part of Nigeria? I would like to have a conversation before setting up my farm early next year. Any updates would be quite helpful, thanks.

Thank you for the update.

SocialJustice:
This new organic rave makes no sense to me, why should I be limiting myself to 5 tonnes for a plant that can produce twice that without loss in oil quality. It is something to be applied to the skin not even eaten.

At the rate the world's population is growing, inorganically produced food is the only way to go. Scientists are trying as much as possible to start growing plants with hydroponics to produce more food from less land.

Hydroponics vegetables are the best and do not need washing from farm to your plate as it is produced without soil in a controlled indoor environment.

Moringa oil is a product that can replace a lot of poisonous substances currently being used in the cosmetics industry and the market is growing insanely. Who really cares if manure is used instead of synthetic nutrient concentrates? Maybe for leaf producers but definitely not for oil producers. The fact that this wonder oil comes from a plant alone is more than enough for it to be termed organic.

Bro, please can you share your contact so i call you.
Kindly follow back and let 's talk privately. Thanks

EMMAACHILE:
January and June. It's doesn't fruit well during heavy rains around September to October.

Bro, please what time of the year is best to plant Moringa for someone hoping to plant for the seeds?

Alberttahir:
Nice thread. I'm interested in moringa farming too but yet to plant the seeds. Waiting for rain cos I don't want to raise it in nursery b4 transplanting

Hello Guys. Any updates.

Please when is the best time of the year to plant Moringa, for someone who is interested in the seeds? Ogun State precisely.

And what is the average yield per acre or hectares to be expected, using organic fertilizer mainly?

Any ideas

Do u know how wikipedia works, you nicompoop. Anyone can edit the content of wikipedia, FOOL!
Fact remain Fact. Dubai visa is easy to get and Air Peace is doing 200k return ticket. With 350k you can go cure yourself of your stupidity.

People like you are the real problem of the country. Rather than say things as they are with hope that things will improve. You hide behind faceless profiles online and spew lies.

PureFace1:
You are just an Illiterate

Lagos is a mega city according to Google and Wikipedia

To call Lagos a megacity is an insult to megacities.
What would we then call Singapore, London, New York, Vancouver, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Munich, Barcelona etc

You see this is my problem with Nigerians. Even in this day of internet where you can simply go on the web, type in "megacity" on google and see what comes up, we still have this ill-conceived notion that Lagos or any other city in Nigeria is a megacity. Dubai, a city in the UAE, fast and still developing, possibly at the very least 100 years ahead of Lagos, is still not satisfied with the level of exposure and development. They want to do more, they aspire to do more. The evidence of what they are doing and what they plan to do is there for all to see. You do not need to pay some unemployed fool (such as This OP) to go write a blog about the city, it is there for millions to testify to both now and for the foreseable future. Megacity without meaningful development. Transportation Zero. Quality Housing Zero. Airport Zero. Hospital Zero. Security Apparatus Zero. Ambience Zero. Roads Zero. Cleanliness Zero. But yet some fools will argue, i simply don't understand whether it is being gullible, stupid or a combination of both with an extra sprinkling of madness that is in vogue these days.
We have got to start calling spades by their names.
Lagos is a slum and Nigeria as a whole is a shithole. Our leaders both past and present have made it to be as it is and we the followers are not helping matters.

PapaBaby:
Mega city or Mega slum?

My quote of the day.

majamajic:
most solid structures in Nigeria was built during what u call dictatorship period

We can't even complete a standard 100km road in due time, on budget but suddenly we flirt with the idea of venturing into AI and Robotics.

It is news such as these that shows you just how misplaced the priorities of our leaders are.

2019prophets:
Waste of money... Just an avenue to loot more public funds.

Nigeria that cannot boast of 24 hr electricity is investing in Artificial intelligence..

haha..only stupid people will believe this is a real agency.

Please add Diya Street in Gbagada-Ifako between the link bridge, joining Gbagada to Bariga, and the Deeper Life Cathedral and even beyond.

Our Politicians are wicked, callous animals that need to be killed. There is no trying to sugarcoat the matter and this is not about just roads alone but about their collective insensitivity toward the plight of the masses.

It is only in Nigeria, that a foreigner gets treated better than the country's citizens. It is only in Nigeria, despite the resources we have, that we suffer as a result of lack of the very basic infrastructure. Other countries have moved and are still moving forward, we are going 10 times backwards whilst our population is exploding at an alarming rate. A 100km road will take 10 years or more to build at 10 times the actual cost. And all because of the wicked leaders we have and the stupid followership that persists.

Lisaint:
I really don't understand this Mr Sanwo Olu Government!
The roads are bad but during is 100 days in office, he said he has repaired these roads

Ikotun-Abaranje is worst
Ikotun-Ijegun is worst
Iyana-Ejigbo
Isolo rd

I really don't understand that Man!
.

If you do not mind, i would like to work with you on these things.

EMMAACHILE:
I use to have some contacts from Oyo and Ogun. I didn't store their number. The Ogun guy normally ask for as high as 30 tonnes per month supply.
If I get their calls again, I will save them.

There are also institutions that need this in bulk. Some of them work as an aggregator and also work as market linkages to the final consumers.

I am doing some underground work with a freight forwarder who has not really responded well for me to get rates to export to different countries. They say I should get the supplies first then discuss with them.

Do you by chance know anyone that farms moringa for seed in South West Nigeria or the North? I would like to visit such a farm to see for myself first hand before I handover to the farm manager I intend hiring.

The aggregator groups you mentioned do not buy for a reasonable amount for the farmer to make a suitable profit. From what I've heard and read it's around 800 to 1,200 per kg for the seed, I could be mistaken. Now that may be alot for inorganic farming, but for organic, that is not as profitable and I haven't seen or heard of the local price being different for organic and inorganic. Does this even count for the moringa seed trade?
Thank you for your feedback, highly appreciated.

EMMAACHILE:
I don't have a particular contact but can show you how to get one. Just advertise you have one especially in the moringa facebook groups. Offline is also key. My area have aggregators who buy and forward to the north. If I can get their contact. I will link it to you.

The seeds sells more in Nigeria. For you to sell powder, you need good packaging and adverts. You may also need a solar dryer or dehydrator.
If I were to do a 8ha leaf production, I will not use pkm1. Get the MOL'E moringa and expand on it. It's production is projected to be about 5 times that of pkm1 and odc series. 8ha leaf farm will be too much and if done, I will advise you include livestock like goats since they can almost grow exclusively on moringa.

Harvest time here is normally June and December but it can also fruit anytime especially when it was planted.

Seed and leaf have no correlation in price.

I have some questions regarding the moringa trade and I was hoping you could help. For one, what are the challenges common to moringa organic farming specifically as it relates to seed farming and two, who are these direct importers, the indian and chinese you guys often refer to on the thread. I'd appreciate a link up atleast before I commit all of my life savings into this.
Thanks

SocialJustice:
Send a pm, I'll reply.

Please I have a couple of questions if you will permit me; who are these Chinese and Indian businessmen?
How can one meet them?
Do you have any of such contacts?
What are the prevalent market prices for the seed?
I learnt there was a big crash in the price of moringa in 2007 to 2008, how true is this?
Does the price of the leaves in anyway affect price of seed?
When is the best time to sell to maximise reward? Are you familiar with when most people harvest in naija?

I am also an intending farmer, 10ha, PKM1 (8ha) and Momax (2ha) and God willing I intend starting in November. So I am simply gathering information.

EMMAACHILE:
Bought by Chinese or Indian businessmen for export.

Please bro, I would like to make your acquaintance. It is in relation to this thread. I have just followed you, kindly follow back to enable us exchange info, thanks.

SocialJustice:
Well, the trees have to be nurtured properly to enable them reach their full potential. I have also visited websites with bulk oil buyers and despite their long oil requirements list, no one said anything about organic tree production rather the emphasis was on HACCP and HACRP.

"Mandela was a terrorist?" Well if you had such a terrorist in your lineage, I guess you would be happy.
You are obviously a mischief maker and a person of low IQ to label Mandela such. Agreed his freedom and presidency may have not yielded the required gain for his people, but to simply label him a terrorist and say attacks such as these were what landed him in jail, it makes me wonder if you were not part of that apartheid regime.

MummyKunle:
It's xenophobic activities that landed Mandela in jail and they made us believe he was a hero. To me Mandela was a terrorist.
If not for African nations that helped them, Mandela would have died in jail.

The business like MTN, DSTV, Shoprite etc we thought are own by South African are actually own by the White South Africans.
They can't succefully do business in their country let alone going out.
The black South Africans are more than lazy.
They are fighting all subsahara Africans, Nigerians are not their problem

The South African Military have the troops and equipment to level Nigeria. It is rumoured that SA is the only African Country to have nuclear weapons, please do not be foolish as to call for War with them.

Mophasa:

Troops should be immediately sent to Johannesburg and Pretoria ASAP

I couldn't agree more. Ojukwu and Gowon were part of the Aburi Accord which came after he met with Awolowo. After the Aburi Accord, Nigeria did not keep to its bargain, innocent Igbos were still being slaughtered up north even as they left the North in droves and made it back South East. So please tell me, how on earth do you expect that Ojukwu would have still continued to uphold his end of the bargain when Gowon was not holding up his end by protecting the innocent Igbos who were being slaughtered by the numbers.

Ojukwu had no choice but to go to War. His hand was forced and he had to fight for the survival of his people.
Remember, the Igbos were never the aggressors. The coup was purely a military affair and should have been handled as such. It should have ended when Ironsi and co were killed in reprisal attack instead Northerners started attacking innocent igbos for no reason whatsoever.

The key takeaway for me from this interview is simply:

that restructuring Nigeria is the way forward and if restructuring can not be attained, we have to split and go our separate ways, status quo is not sustainable we are only deceiving ourselves.

And please as a sidenote, I am Yoruba through and through but I have the common sense to see a spade and call it such because I believe that the future good of my people, and the other people that make up this country Nigeria, is better guaranteed and assured in a restructured Nigeria than it is in the Nigeria of today.

uduokirika1:
can you show me a link were ojukwu declared war on Nigeria?

The Aburi accord which was part of the reconciliatory means of resolution who backed out of the agreement?

Who created states? and balkanized the regional system already in place?

the State creation was on 28th May 1967 Biafra was declared 2days later 30th May!!!

Who declared police action to bring back the seceding region? That is the person that declared war!!!

Pa Adebayo has made his statements but history cannot be rewritten!!!

The nicknames were just downright hilarious. One of them bears Giggs, as in Ryan Giggs. Hehehehehe

nikkygal:
This list is blood curdling haba!

Does it mean Nigerians don't have any other job abroad now than crime and fraud? How can this number of people be involved, and yet they've not even finished their arrests?

This is such a huge disgrace. This country is on a downward spiral...geez!

Look at their nicknames: 'Thank you Jesus, 'Pastor Ken', Son of God etc. Bunch of fraudsters constantly making things more difficult for legit folks like us...Awon adojutini gbogbo...

Please lock them up & throw away the keys...

By chasing away a Politician of their own ethnic extraction, please explain what problems have they caused?
They should come back to Nigeria where their security and right to lead a peaceful protest is not guaranteed? Where Soldiers and Police will be deployed with "shoot on sight" mandate?
You surely are a joker.
I am from the SW and I support IPOB wholeheartedly. Atleast they are doing something and taking the fight to these bunch of thieves we call our leaders?
What are you doing? All you do is come on social media platforms and criticise. You must be a paid online miscreant cos if you are not and you see how backward this country is, you will atleast cheer for IPOB and hope that Youths across other geopolitical zones will give their leaders the same treatment. Perhaps only then will the ruling class get the message cos every other attempt at communicating with the bastards we call leaders seems to be falling on deaf ears.
This is how people post misleading comments all in the name of political correctness or patriotism and even more stupider people give "likes".

Nbote:
Dey can not b abroad and b causing problems for those of us here... If Nnamdi Kanu and his supporters want to lead dis revolution let dem come back home here in Nigeria and start with d state governors and legislatures of our various South eastern states.. U cannot b in a far away land where u are comfortable and secure and make demands and order

For this comment, I love you sir and I am Yoruba. God bless you sir.

FortifiedCity:
No idiot should come here and say trash. Where I come from we don't lick asses of people who are supposed to champion your cause for total transformation.

If drug barons and political misfits are celebrated in your culture, it's not same for others.

As far as I'm concerned every politician in Nigeria both past and present should be beaten.

You have made zero sense from your post. It is obvious you are a paid miscreant coming on here to try to defend useless thieving politicians. I pity the likes of u who will gladly sell your soul for a plate of porridge.
Please from recent IPOB attacks on Politicians, what ideas will South South Militants, BH and Fulani Herdsmen get into their heads? Maybe they will resort to attacking the bastards that loot us dry everyday and prevent this country from knowing any reasonable development. Or are you afraid that if they do there will be nothing for you to earn seeing as your paymasters will disappear one by one.

You had better be careful, the likes of you are exactly the reason this country needs a revolution. You preach stupid senseless messages in the face of obvious provocation. The Government of Nigeria across various strata has been a disappointment to Nigerians and unless we start resorting to measures such as the one IPOB is deploying, I'm afraid things will not change.

MobilityExpress:
Jokes apart, this is a dangerous precedent, because you are setting an example for the real terrorists in Nigeria. People don't realize that evil elements are watching events unfold and learning new tactics. Southsouth militants started this kidnapping thing, but today killer fulani herdsmen have taken over the trade in an unprecedented dimension, kidnapping anyone, poor, rich, old, young, male, female, civilians, government workers etc. I read on Nairaland last week of a pastor in Kaduna that was kidnapped inside his home, the kidnappers went to his home, can you see how this evil thing has grown? If only the Niger Delta militants knew fulani herdsmen were taking lessons from them, and now the student has become the master. Same way this IPOB attack politicians on foreign soil, they should stop this behavior now before people like Boko Haram starts getting ideas from it. It will be terrible if people like Boko Haram latch on this idea and start their terror campaign overseas because they might make it into something else and not just attack politicians alone, they might attack prominent citizens too, or Christians. So IPOB should stop this rubbish now. They should not start a fire they cannot control.

I'd love to agree with you on a number of points you raised but let's be honest Nigeria is a joke and thieves, tyrants and zealots rule us and they will continue until we do something about it. It's that simple. So I am sorry to say this but with the way things are setup, if Buhari could rule us, then Tinubu will rule us and even worse men will rule us until we the people intercede for ourselves. Amen

Smithkafors:
Be deceiving una self.Tinubu cannot rule this country, Nigeria is not a joke.A drug Baron and thief cannot rule this country,no one will take us back.wait till then.For the youth supporting him,is it a crime if you become the president of Nigeria?what has tinubu done differently?has he transformed/developed Lagos State despite the fact that the governors ND legislators are royal to him with the biggest IGR/budget?.Any youth that supports tinubu dosnt want the best for his or her children and generations to come.Tinubu is a disaster, which only take Nigeria back.He is a thief.

Exactly, Simmons is a PG which really isn't a PG. And Embiid is good and can be great but for his health. Let's see how it all unfolds but Warriors need a forward to compete. If the management is sure they'll land Giannis in 2021 then they may not rush off to trade DLo but if no assurances I'm sure they'll likely trade DLo this trade window.

A40:
Lol the guy the Sixers need to move is actually Simmons not Harris ironically. However I also suspect they don't trust the health of Embiid and so would keep them both and allow things unfold

Will D-Lo be traded eventually by GSW? Some random story floating around that they might swap him for Harris from the 76ers. Makes sense salary wise cos they earn about same and Harris will gel with Steph and Klay. Plus 76ers need a PG not Simmons who in my opinion does not play like a traditional PG. But it remains to be seen, I guess we will find out if D-Lo will be a much needed addition better than Harris will be.

Simple.

Wiseandtrue:
Temporary solution!!!

Utilize ports in other states to decongest Lagos!!!

The traffic is everywhere, it's too much!!!

Ikpeazukerosene:
This is one of the idiots we're talking about.
Comparing Burna boy to Fela.

You think Fela is only about the music?

Fela went to drop a corpse in front of the official residence of the Head of State. He lambasted Buhari, Shagari, Obasanjo, Babangida, all as sitting Presidents.

Buhari is even too much. Can Burna try to sing against Sanwo-olu?
