baobab1: Can you believe that we are still battling with weeds? My experience with weeds shows why you must do everything possible to prepare your land very well before planting but I thank God for this experience and for even doing as much as I did, because what I learned as a result of size and how we started couldn't have been possible otherwise.
We successfully completed weeding our cowpea farm but even as I write some portion of our castor farm is still uncleared same with a little portion that we earmarked for consumtion.
My Landlord who has been helping me too monitor the farm tried but he's not totally committed. He supplied the labour and those labour would work for a day or 2 and go elsewhere or back to their primary masters. This really slowed down our work. The last person that I am still working with said he does not know his number off hand, and besides he keeps his phone in the village hence I needed to rely on my landlord to get across to him. The guy promised to bring 3 other guys with himself to do the job, 2 of the guys can me only ones in the evening and since then they ceased from coming. The frustration from farm hands has remained a major challenge, even when you are willing to pay they are not ready to work.Hence our battle with the completion of the weeding continues.
What i learnt from this situation is that you must have your own farm manager if you will not be in the farm always and you must have at least 1 or 2 farm workers to make your work successful. If I were to be in the farm daily I would have followed up on my labour till my job is concluded. I would have known their issues and quickly proffer solutions to make their work environment condusive. For instance my landlord is a farmer also and needed to go about solving his own problems. It was while I interacted with my laborer on Saturday that he told me that the people he brought in stopped coming because of transport fare, that if I could get them a place to stay till the work is concluded they would come back. By the time I got the information 5 days had already gone, manager was not aware because he would not have sufficient time to ask questions and interact with them, those guys couldn't come back again apparently they have gotten another engagement. The need to have our own farm manager who will give daily activity report and provide proper monitoring cannot be overemphasized. Similarly the need to have at least 2 permanent labour for our kind of operations is not negotiable. That actually accounted for my calculation to start with 10hectares so that we would be big enough to take on staff, but all in all I am happy we started and these many issues validate my thoughts and assumptions of what could happen. We shall overcome.

Adalassy: Hello madam, I am an alternative medicine practitioner based in Ghana. Your son may have Muscular Atrophy which is a degeneration of muscle mass.
It occurs due to no or limited use of muscles, neurological problems or due to malnutrition related causes.
Muscular Atrophy could be genetic for some, and for some there might be a sudden onset due to poor nutrition. It might also occur due to the several other serious comorbid diseases or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD) or congenital heart disease.
frozen70: My dear pls and pls stop feeling bad, just keep thanking God for his goodness in your family
Some kids are born that way and some can be corrected medically either through operation or surgery
Haven't you seen other kids like that, have their parents thrown them away ?
You have to be happy and grateful to God, what if you never has any since you married, won't you even beg God to give you one even if it means for that child to be disabled
Be happy and see that child as a special child, what happened to him is from birth and it did not affect his ability to do what other kids does
I will advice you go to orthopedic hospital in igbobi by onipanu lagos if the doctors there says nothing can be done take that child home and start thanking God that he gave you a special child
Some women are looking for such child, ask them what life has taught them for being barren
Give that child the best of quality education and watch him becoming a star in his chosen career
Say to your self my dearest son I love and will always be happy to have you
He must not know how you feel about him, he is looking forward to see you happy around him.
oxypress: HBOT is not food or tablet or supplement we drink. It is 100% oxygen we breathe in a presurised chamber called hyperbaric chamber. It is normally superviced by a physician. It is scars but you can get it in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Try to get a clinical diagnosis from a neurologist who can now refer you to us for hbot.
Smart365Life: I feel sad reading this. I'm so sorry about your son's predicament. I wish there was something I could do. I hope you guys find a solution for him and I pray he becomes better.
oxypress: The issue of oxygen is at the center of most degenerative diseases. The idea is to stop the muscles from further degeneration and to increase muscle strength and enhance growth. Hyperbaric oxygen can help in this case. There are positive testimonies from people using hbot for Muscular Dystrophy, myopaties, radiculopaties and developmental disability. Do more research on this and see for yourself. Watch the video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02UjFxCGr00
