boluwajokosegun: The following Nigerian states have the best comparative advantage for plantain and
banana farming:
Lagos, Ondo, Ogun, Oyo, Oshun, Ekiti, Edo,
Delta, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Imo, Bayelsa,
Abia and Ebonyi.

The domestic uses of plantain are:

Fried slices (dodo) and plantain chips .The industrial uses are plantain flour/bread,
cake/pancake,baby foods,wine,beer,dried flakes,biscuits and cookies.
Modern breeding has produced high yielding varieties

Two ways to do the business:
a) You can buy acres of land, drill bore hole, do land preparation, plant trees as wind
breakers and plant good grade suckers and secure the farm . You can intercrop with our
hybrid MELON so as to maximize the land (Integrated farming)
b) You can go for government land available for lease all over Nigeria. The lands are
managed by the various River Basin Development Authorities across Nigeria, they
can help you to prepare the land with their lease tractor and they also have irrigation
facility, plant trees as wind breakers and plant good grade suckers and secure the
farm. You can intercrop with our hybrid MELON so as to maximize the land
(Integrated farming)
If you need land for agriculture, government land is available for lease all over Nigeria.
The lands are managed by the various River Basin Development Authorities across
Nigeria.
For the lands managed by the Ogun- Oshun River Basin Authority, which covers
Lagos, Ogun, Oshun and Oyo States, they have offices in those states where you can
go to pay N2500.00 per acre of land per year.


If you are one of those looking for salary jobs in today's Nigeria, or you have just one
sources of income, please stop that madness. Go pay N2500.00 for a hectare of
land for Cassavaa/plantain farming.

There are two benefits to you:
One, you buy at a cheaper price than you will if you buy during the planting season.
Two, you will not wait 12 months from planting to harvest. If you are a starter,
ensure that you are buying the improved variety sucker and buy from the right
sources. Do not be deceived to buy the local variety sucker if what you want is the
improved variety sucker.
The beauty of the plantain plant is in its ability to reproduce itself in geometric
proportions. A healthy plantain plant can reproduce about 5 suckers around it which
means that one plant has produced another 5 plants.
Therefore, you will not have to buy fresh suckers for planting for the 2nd year and
beyond. There are three benefits to you. First benefit is that you won’t be buying fresh
suckers for planting in the 2nd year
Second benefit is that you can sell the suckers while waiting for the harvest of the plantain
bunches from the existing plants. Thirdly, you can transplant the suckers on another
plot of land which means that your farm is expanding without buying fresh suckers.

There are two types of suckers in Nigeria – the local variety and the improved variety
sucker. The local variety sucker takes about two years to mature from planting to harvest
while the improved variety takes one year. The local variety generally has lower yields
and more disease-prone, while the improved variety has higher yields in terms of fingers
per bunch, size of the fingers and the sweetness of the fruits.
The improved variety brings faster returns on investment than the local variety sucker. The
improved variety comes in different grades that indicate the level of improvement.
Always go for the latest improved variety sucker. If you are a starter, go for the
improved variety sucker.
However, note that the improved variety sucker is costlier than the local variety
sucker.
When the planting season commences, at the start of the rains, the improved variety
sucker costs about N120.00 to N150.00 per sucker even from official sources. The
demand for the improved variety sucker is high.

Op,you lifted the post above from my 2nd signature. This is plagiarism!

Op, what you have done is wrong o!.
Some of the posts on this thread were lifted directly from my 2nd signature,word for word, without giving credit to whom it is due.

Go to the head office of the Ogun Oshun River Basin Authority and lease land @ N2500.00/hectare/year
The River basin covers 5 states-Lagos,Ogun, Oyo, Oshun and Ondo.
All the River basins in Nigeria have farm lands for lease at the same price

Monitoring Ebola Virus?

If it is true,what he did is a reproach to God's name but Matthew 7:1-5 gives you no rights to judge or condemn him
1 Corinthians 10:12 is asking you to take heed lest you fall if you think you are standing?
Those of you condemning him, are you not also guilty?
The bible says you are guilty of adultery by looking at a woman lustfully though you have not committed the real sexual act.
Pray for him and leave judgment to God.

Read the book of Numbers Chapter 5 for the answer

How about the un-escaped girls?

October 2014,Impossible!
Such promises were made in the past that were in vain
What logistics are on ground now that makes the October deadline to be feasible?
Nigerians should not be expecting 24 hour power supply because Nigeria cannot realize it to cover all the nook and cranny in the country.
The Distribution companies should strive to guarantee 6 to 12 hours power daily and ensure an even distribution
Many Nigerians seeking for 24 hour power cannot pay for it and do not really need it.
Much of it is often wasted for example putting on security bulbs in the day.

My area in Ogun State, the Agbado Axis where i reside, covered by the Ikeja Disco, we have power mostly at nights from about 11pm to 7am,Guaranteed for now o!. Occasionally, during the day, power is available too but one cannot be sure. At present, i am sure it will be available tonight. The mistake Nigerians are making is expecting 24 hour power daily.This is not possible in Nigeria.

The Distribution companies (Disco) are striving to supply power for 24 hours which is a worse mistake. If a Disco can guarantee power supply in residential areas for say 8 hours daily, it is a good performance to start with.I do not need 24 hour power.And many Nigerians cannot afford to pay the bills, yet are clamoring for 24 hour power to cover even all the remote villages.

Have 6-8 hour regular power and structure all your energy needs into the available 6-8 hours and pay the bills is OK than living in a fools paradise expecting 24 hour power which is wasted and cannot be paid for. These Nigerians sef with their fools dreams!

The major challenge they are yet to solve is the prepaid meter that is not available. Also the bills do not come regularly. The bills for July is yet to come as at 28/8/14. I believe they are trying and are much better than the old P.H.C.N

The pictures are real,very real.
I am resident in Ogun State,and know where many of the projects are, particularly the roads.
Massive reconstruction is going on in many sectors, not limited to roads and housing
One wonders why the previous governments could not achieve same result with the resources
After all the Amosun Govt did not get the resources from the moon. It has always been there.
Amosun, the Peoples' Governor,ride on.

[quote author=chopbanana]Wow! it's really wonderful and i love those cars[/quo

Na building we go chop or quality services?
P.H.C.N for example,poor services everywhere!
Beautiful,Magnificent Building,Poor Services.

No real, sincere love in the marriage by the husband
No trust for the wife by the husband
Marriage is love and trust
Where there is no love and no trust, there is no marriage there!

Acada University? What a name!
Who do we blame?
The Nigerian Government of course who messed up its educational system.
2ndly, the government's negligence allowing foreign mushroom schools to set up office in Nigeria. Where were we looking when such a large number of 'mushroom' or unlicensed schools were opening shop here?

Bury people where they lived and died anywhere in the world.
Why the stress, in the name of culture, transporting a corpse from Kano to Lagos or from Lagos to Akwa Ibom for burial.Vanity of Vanities!
The ground into which they will be buried is the same everywhere.The corpse is dust already,ordinary dust.
The more important elements are the soul and spirit that will face judgment and those are what God is interested in at death.

Though the virus has a 90% fatality rate, not everyone contacting it will die
God will surely save some based on His sovereignty, His mercies, favour, His grace and the faith of the victims.
I do not accept that the virus is a death sentence

How about manning the smuggling routes?

Exodus 15:26 in the Bible says,
'If thou will diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and will do what is right in his sight, and will give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which i have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee''.

Why should anyone be afraid of the Ebola Virus?
True security and safety is in the Lord Jesus,our Healer.
The virus is so deadly and so contagious that no one seems to be safe from it,from the human angle.

Psalm 91:10 says,'' No evil shall befall me and no plague shall come near my dwelling''.

Key your life and health into the Blood of Jesus Christ,the Healer and you will be at rest,having no fears of the virus.

One Newspaper said that we should avoid bats, touching bats or fruits that bats have eaten.
That the Ebola virus is from the bat,an unusual animal that has four legs and has wings too.
Bats are nocturnal, hardly seen during the day and not seen everywhere.
Many believe that the bat is a witch bird oh!
God have mercy and deliver us from this virus that kills within 6 days.

Good that he ran.
But what is the guarantee that the disease will not reach here?
No security at the borders oh!

Emessy: Shut Up Igbo smoking man

Civil war carver search through this civil war pics of Igbo land maybe you will find your father and mother

Are you sure these pictures were from the Nigerian Civil War?
I disagree because these guys in the photos do not look like Nigerians o!

moneybag100: no where is safe in Nigeria my sis you could be hit with strayed bullet from armed robbers in south south.

Excellent Comment!
No place is safe in Nigeria even in the South.
Apart from stray bullets from robbers, there are accidental discharges, kidnappers for ransom, kidnappers for rituals, Ebola Virus, erosion, flooding disasters, road accidents,election riots and others too numerous to mention here.
Pray Oh! Prayer is the solution. The Lord is my Shepherd,I shall not lack security (Psalm 23:1)
O Lord, shepherd my life into safety and security in Jesus name,amen.

Disgracing african womanhood!

A SIGN OF THE END OF THE WORLD THAT JESUS PROPHESIED IN MATTHEW 24 THAT INIQUITY WILL INCREASE IN THE LAST DAYS
MOTHER AND DAUGHTER FIGHTING OVER A BOYFRIEND!
SHOCKINGLY DISGUSTING TO THE EARS

I AM SORRY FOR THE MAN INVOLVED DATING A MOTHER AND HER DAUGHTER
IT IS AN ABOMINATION IN LEVITICUS 18 IN THE BIBLE.
THE MAN SHOULD REPENT IMMEDIATELY AND GO FOR DELIVERANCE IN A DELIVERANCE MINISTRY
IT IS AN UNIMAGINABLE CRIME THAT HE HAS COMMITTED,TRADING HIS DESTINY FOR SEXUAL LUST

fattbabakay: A 23yr old UGLY woman!!!

Many men can not remain unmarried without a wife but many women can stay unmarried without a husband

That is abnormal.
What was he doing with the corpse?
Was he praying to God to restore her to life.
If it was not for prayer of restoration, it was a meaningless act
