AgricultureThe Plight Of Ginger Farmers In Southern Kaduna by Lassbati222(op): 12:07pm On Dec 19, 2022
I come from Kaduna State, southern Kaduna to be precise. A native of Ham chiefdom who are known to be the top Ginger producing communities and that is why Kaduna State top the five Ginger producing states in Nigeria, which includes Bauchi state, Benue State, Gombe State and Nasarawa.

Farming Ginger is not an easy job, due to the fact that everything is done manually. Starting from clearing the land, digging the soil, cutting the seed into smaller pieces, buying of cow dung and spreading on the land, farming (Which require some to be dropping the smaller pieces of the seed, while others will use hoe to cover the seeds), covering the farm land with leaves, weeding (which can be done two or three times before harvest time), fertilizer application (Applied twice or thrice), harvesting (Done by digging and picking each seed) slicing each and drying.
Note that during last farming season, a basin of Ginger seed was going for N12,000 which will only cover a very small portion. Also note that fertilizer which use to cost N8,000 but last farming season, the Local government offered subsidized fertilizer at @ N21,700

Despite this stress, the local dealers are regulating the prices at will, leaving poor farmers helpless.

From October 2021 to October 2022, a bag of Ginger was sold between N30,000 to N34,000 depending on how clean your Ginger is. A bag is usually 41kg. At least it was a little consolation to farmers.

From November local dealers started bringing down the price, knowing farmers have no option, since they have needs. From 30k to 28k, to 21k to 20k to 18k to 15k and now back 20k.

Whereas I have been following the wholesale price of Ginger online. Let's take the price of Ginger as at 17th December, 2022.
It was sold at $3.58 per kg. Each bag is 41kg, assuming $ is N700, it means it was going N102,746 and if we keep $ at N500, then it was going for N73,390 but as at that 17th December, local dealers were buying from famers @N18,000. HABA


HOW DO LOCAL DEALERS GET MONEY TO PURCHASE GINGER IN LARGE QUANTITY?
I only know few dealers who use their personal money to buy ginger, transport to the wholesale market and sell it.
But must of them have bigger dealers within and outside the country who supply them with money to purchase ginger, while trailers keep coming to pack them away to the person that gave out the money.
My issue here is, most times you here that the bigger dealers pay this local dealers between 45k-60k per 41kg bag(Depending on who is providing the money) then this local dealers will inturn exploit the farmers by buying between 18-25 0r 30k-34k as the case of oct last year to oct this year.
This is really unacceptable.

Please if there is anyone who have an idea on ginger market should help and anyone who have ideas on how we can get out of the grip of these local dealers should please help.

Front page please.

Oga Shut up...I am from Kafanchan and presently there, just call it "Jema'a Emirate Urban Renewal"

Apart from the major road, which is from Ugwa Rimi bridge to Nepa Junction, all other roads included are the Muslim settlements.

the likes of Zaria street, Sokoto street, Magajiya street, Abuja Street, Kaduna Street, Jema'a street etc. (All the Muslim settlement) will all be reconstructed

What happens to
Takau, Maigizo, Zikpa, Garaje, Ungwan Musa, Ugwan Masara, Bayan Loko etc.
no single single road will be constructed around the Christian settlement.

We complained and the Oga said this is the first phase, as if we are fools. So he wants to complete the second phase during his third tenure abi?
Christianity EtcRe: 7 Reasons Why Christians Should Stop Taking Alcohol by Lassbati222(m): 12:53pm On Jan 12, 2020
Even Jesus drank Alcohol
Check Luke 7:33-34

"33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.

34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!"

If it wasn't Alcohol people will not complain, because there has been no place where people complain for taking Juice.

[quote author=oweniwe post=66205253]Why blaming the government or leaders?

Did the government or leaders tell the people to go dig up and eat buried contaminated products?

An agency of the govt buried those things to protect the public and yet people still go and fig them up on their own accord.

Why blaming the government or leaders? huh

Blame the people...!!..[ ]Without hunger no one will act like that.
Who caused the hunger.
Definitely the government
So why not blame the government?

Without hunger in the land the people will not go and dig up the buried chickens.

Who caused the hunger....The government

Press Release

Dr Okezie Ikpeazu
Executive Governor of Abia state
Government House
Umuahia

Your Excellency

With tears and sorrow, the the Umuahia Youth Movement respectfully write to request the dethronement of Nnamdi Kanu's father as a traditional ruler of our clan.

It beats our imagination that a man who calls himself a Royal father and an Elder could not call his son to other but rather encourage him in hia madness that have plunged umuahis city to a great crisis today.

Sir, recall that umuahia have been the most peaceful capital city in Nigeria to live and do business but just because of one man, we are today facing the wrath of the Federal government of Nigeria.

Our shops, markets, schools, churches and all banks have been shut down. For the past three days we have been indoors for fear of been attacked by the military just because of one man whose father is our traditional ruler.

Based on the above, we herecy request the he be dethroned within 24hrs or we will take the laws into our hands and dethrone him and even stripe him naked and raze his house.

We appeal to every well meaning Nigerians as well to prevail on Gov. Ikpeazu to as a matter of urgency dethrone Nnamdi kanu's father.

We also request the the operation python dance should remain in all streets of umuahia as any attempt to withdraw will make the Ipob criminals rob our shops and houses.

Sir, we addure you that we remain one Nigerians and will join hands with you to make our country Nigeria and state Abia the best among all the countries of the wiorld.

Please accept the assurances of our esteemed regards.

PhonesRe: MTN Reacts Over The Sudden Price Increase Of Recharge Cards by Lassbati222(m): 9:07pm On May 12, 2017
I was printing Recharge card as of last year.
And here are the prices for networks codes.

I buy
Airtel for N91.5, I sell N95 to retailers while they sell N100 to consumers.

I buy
Etisalat for N91, sell N95 to retailers....they sell N100

Glo go for N89 I sell out to retailers for N95 and they sell same as other networks above

But Mtn go for N95.8 or N96.5, When selling out to retailers, for sure it will go between N99 or N100 and retailers will have to add their gain too...


For the one year I was into printing Recharge cards....MTN remained the costly. And was the discouraging factor of the business, because their market is moving[/color].
