I'll start by saying this favorite quote of mine; It is God's blessings deposited in man and discovered, and not just discovered but put to action that makes such a man successful in life.

Grew up in the heart of Lagos, Maryland & Festac to be precised. Nevertheless, we've always produced our own garri & fufu . Na so my papa go put me for his most priced car then, a Volkswagen aka Bettle aka Ijapa car, then drive all the way to ogun state villages bordering Lagos to go arrange cassavas to be processed. All those years, no farm lands we no dey enter . I would want to believe those are the years farming activities imprinted on my destiny .
Moreso, we've always kept dogs, cats, rabbits and doves as pets growing up. So all these contributed to my passion for growing both livestock & loving how mother Earth gives life to plants, so fascinating.

But, the main confirmation as to me going to become a farmer came in S.S.3 (in Federal Government College, Ijanikin, Lagos State), when God personally told me, You shall be a FARMER . Heard Him loud & clearly.

Chai! I like your story O! 😀
And your papa really really do well.
Nothing pass make papa teach im pikin how to catch fish, instead of to dey only give am fish.

Anyways, I go dey follow your thread sha, because e dey interesting...and I dey sabi like success stories.
I hope say you no go mind if I begin ask you plenty plenty question?
Like, about how many times you don harvest vegetables since wey you start?

jidestroud:

Obviously. But the problem for me is, how do I ask them for money for the waterleaves? When most times they see me weeding it off all the time .
I just allow them weed it out for me. most times I see them going with as much as 2 to 3 filled sacks.

Waterleaves no cheap for market O.

jidestroud:

Hmmm... nothing else is associated with what was initially posted. Everything else was done by me... from land clearing to burning the debris, making of beds, applying manure and finally, transplanting. Shikena!!!

Well, this may not be applicable to all. You can pay for it if you chose to. For me, making the beds isn't such a big deal . I gave myself of making 4 beds per day till i populate the whole one plot. Na bed making I dey use while away boredom . . Likewise, manure from my poultry birds is been used. I have that in excess. And as for water, there's a borehole on the farm. Also, a well as a backup plan (I no get time to go dey look for fuel if light no dey and water finish for thank)

Cost reduction is Key for me. gbam!!!

Some of us that were raised in the city don't know much about farming.

How did you learn?

jidestroud:

For waterleaves? Plant them? Kind of sound strange to me hearing that.

Although, I think I have seen were it's been grown at people's backyard. For me, waterleaves na confirm weeds on my farmlands.

A few of my vegetables buyers to come with sacks to help me weed them out.

Dey don beg me taya make I no spray Dem and kill Dem off...once once sef, me sef dey use am freestyle Edikaikong soup.

To be honest, I don't know how they're grown intentionally.

They grow wildly and rapidly on our land too in the village, according to my uncle.
People wey need them dey come once once come harvest them.

Na free money for those your vegetable buyers be that naa. 😀
Shey na say you no get buyers for the waterleaves?

Abeg! No kill them O!

I like that you grow your vegetables organically.
Them go get taste well-well.

jidestroud:



Dem dey forbid food for this present economy?

Walahi, I no just gbadun that Okro for anything and can't say why. . The last time I ate Okro soup should be back in the 90's if my memory isn't failing me.

Ewedu I know, Ogbono I know, Plsssss Okro who art thou!!!

You be like one of my brothers.
The guy hate okro dye!

You go plant waterleaves too? I learn say e dey grow fast well-well.

Godwin4444:
he should sack himself n hand over to obi Mumu abi?

Even a monkey will perform better than Tinubu at this point.
What an abysmal failure he turned out to be.

I'm not even surprised.

Like Reno, like Freeze.

Father4all:
Useless Nigeria women

Even if you don't have sisters, I'm sure you have/had a mother, yeah?

Thundafireseun:


No need for insults ….

What tribe is the most promiscuous….

Nnwanne Please leave sentiments aside….

The tozo can't even spell nwanne correctly...and he claims to be Igbo.

GboyegaD:


Decided to bake meat pies after a while. Baked half and freeze the other half and stored them in a ziploc for the next time I want to bake them. I will like to see if there's a difference in baking in bulk and freezing them or doing it in piece meals.

I presume the latter should be better.

Mmm! They look so perfect. ✨

Most importantly, Tinubu should sack himself because he's the most incompetent.
He should not blame his failure on others.

Imagine! Even Buhari did way better than him.

jidestroud:
The Ewedu(s) ain't doing bad either. Almost done with picking the bed. A few other beds have been planted too when I saw the demand for it. Left to me, I no kuku dey chop am like that .

Someone even suggested I planted Okro. The bad eye I take look the woman ehn, she sef fear say wetin she talk wey I give am that wicked look. I just simply told her, OKRO IS FORBIDDEN IN MY LIFE'S AFFAIRS. Chikena!!!

Why?
Una dey forbid am for una culture?

You're doing well, by the way. 👍🏼

Betrayal is one major reason why women turn the children against their father.
Women hardly forgive betrayal.
At the end of it all, the man end up losing.

Whatever one sows in their youth, they reap in abundance in their old age.

Thegamingorca:
Why Una dey help this fockelly girl trend?

All she talks about on her insta is pussy and preek.


She would have been forgotten if not for this staged nonsense

I had to search for her on Instagram due to this trending drama.
She's disgustingly shameless to be honest.

I got so used to eating with my ex that when it was over

I found it difficult to eat... especially if I cooked

🙈

Eiyaaaaaa! 😀

jenifer007:
I love taking my time when eating so it will take me roughly 7 to 10minutes to finish eating and it's cos of this I stopped eating together with my husband...Guy is so fast especially with hot food and in less than 2 minutes he's done

Hahahahahahaha😀


Nlfpmod, happy Sunday.

Oshiomole, I wu enwe!


As humans, there are boundaries that should never be crossed.

Onu kwuru njo, g'emechaa kwuo mma.

illicit:


If I am eating alone or eating with someone...

Oh! Okay.

I don't like eating with someone that much, because I'm quite a slow eater.

illicit:


It depends sha...

On...

softwerk:


Fuckelly!

I command you to release that man immediately!

You dey craze for head! For two whole weeks?! Haba?!

🤣

EreluRoz:
I like men that are very demure. No man should embarrass me like this abeg.

Demure indeed!
I prefer lively people.

EreluRoz:


Why will a man be so weak to have allowed such from a woman? Remember the other woman that tore her husband's passport and social media went Gaga only to find out few days later that it was a skit. So I hardly believe things I see on social media anymore

Who would leave themselves to be slapped continuously like that in the name of a skit?

Isn't it obvious that the woman had been doing that, so her husband set her up to use the evidence against her?
Who knows if she had even been blackmailing him?

EreluRoz:
This should be a skit

7 stupid people actually liked this comment?
May they be choked and slapped in the face continuously for the rest of their lives.

You know what I totally cannot stand? Dishonesty and unfairness.

EreluRoz:
It's not fun, it's embarrassing to her. I dislike men that dance publicly, I'll be embarrassed too

Are you serious?
I thought you were joking by your comment before this one.

Why though?

It appears the guy has scammed so many people.

Choiceone1:
A i scammed u because of ur greediness not untouchable. Someone wanted to use Ebuka obi to scam on Facebook but because am used to Ebuka he couldn't

Did the person reach out to you first?

Sleekfingers:



😂🤣🤣🤣

But Dem dey digest the poo na......

I remember, back in late 80's when I used to go fishing with my uncle in Ikoyi ,around where the french embassy is located. And also at Lagos Island. Men , sometimes, I saw some fishermen nets caught some fish, when they open the nets I do see faeces in it.
I nearly throw up. My uncle said, fish love eating faeces .
Do you know that , most houses in Lagos Island don't have soak away? They channel all their faeces into the Lagoon.

Eeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww! 🤢😰

What kind of perversive nonsense is that?

Jubok:

You were scammed cause you’re...

Why would you say that?
What about those that were scammed simply because they wanted to buy something online?
You think you know better, until it happens to you.

Sonnobax15:

I'm a very slow eater....I love eating,while reminiscing on the taste of the meal I don't want to be rushed at all.

As a matter of fact,that's one of the reasons why I love eating on my own,cuz I always feel cheated when I'm eating with a fast eater

Eating competition is one game I can never partake in cuz na me go must carry last

That means you love to relish your food.

Some people hum while eating, while some people do body movements.

Jennyclay:
On a normal day I’m so sluggish .

It’s can take forever especially when I’m pressing my phone while eating.

Ah! I forgot the phone part for most people.

EyeCumInPeace:
45secs max for adult food.
I'm a 45secs man.

No go choke O!
