Kehfie: Boss @Okoroemeka, I have nothing but respect for you in this Agric space. I would urge that you look into the issue of the collection, preservation and packaging of your seeds.
I do not know the OP and have never communicated with him. However I also had issues with the pepper seeds I got from you earlier this year.
I bought red and yellow scorpion; Nsukka pepper. The pack of Nsukka (a small quantity in a different type of pack) opened and spilled before it got to me. I informed you about this.
The red and yellow scorpion seeds developed fungal attack (like in OP's picture) the yellow a few days after I bought them and the other about two weeks later, while still unopened and kept where I keep other seeds. My seeds from other companies including the okro I got from you are still ok as I write. This fungal issue caused me to plant all the red and yellow scorpion immediately and all at once unplanned as I noticed the issue. I had planned to do it in batches because of my limited space and also at the end of the year/early next year. However I had to rush to sow the seeds in June as I feared they would spoil further and no longer germinate by December.
I soaked for about two days with fungicides and had very good germination rate. I never mentioned this to you but I should have and am sorry to be bringing it out here like this now.
The third issue I have is that the fruits that came (from red and yellow scorpion) are a wide assortment of pepper varieties: the red and yellow scorpion, and then small amounts of up to 3 or 4 other different varieties. I was suprised at this but went back to read your threads and discovered that you developed the yellow scorpion and probably the red scorpion varieties yourself. So I excused this.
Furthermore they are packed in another institutions packaging which I don't think is right.
The above are my experiences with my purchase from Okoroemeka.
pls we like and cherish feednacks from farmers,we will appreciate if you will send more information about those crops if possible,to help us identify what went wrong , support and consult services is our major concern
Xpol: No one is on a vengeful mission to drag your name in the mud, if you had a name you really cherish, why did you sold a spoiled seeds to me and refused to take responsibility.
Ok answer these questions publicly here and let's forget about it, I've already counted my lost. 1: Did we agree on you sending me 50g of the red variety+5g of the yellow variety for 35k? If yes why did you send only 50g and why did you ignored me when I asked for the remaining 5g? 2: Did I messaged you before opening the seed, that it's not good and you said I should nurse it and let's see the germination rate? 3:when I opened the seeds, did I send you the pictures and after seeing the cracks you promised to send replacement next week?
Answer these questions truthfully, then case closed.
what you paid for is the 50 grams and I promised to include 5 grams of the yellow variety as bonus for you which was not yet ready by then,this back and forth accusations and counter accusation is not to my liking,but the simple fact is that we tried and sent at least half pack plus 10 grams of the yellow to Lagos for you to pick,am I trying to scam you to try and replace at least some part,which you totally ignored all our efforts but to come online to call me a scammer,I am not the director but just a sales rep with limited decision making about some issues,the driver from Lagos has returned the waybill to me and is in my possession,what I will do for my dear fellow farmer is that after the Xmas rush we will add another 25 grams to the 35 grams and resend it to him in the spirit of the new yeear on one condition that he will open another thread on the progress of the crops from nursery to fruiting let us see and prove beyond any reasonable doubt what the scorpion variety can perform and restore much needed trust,,but it is sad to see that this fracas reminds us about the shakesparian tragedy of the merchant of Venice and the pound of flesh
@okoroemeka, OP (@Xpol) said the seeds came in transparent nylon BUT you seem to be saying otherWise. Whose should be believed.
I thinking making it clear if it came in transparent Nylon, or sealed (transparent) Nylon should be clarified first
we have supplied hot peppers to more nairalanders I can even begin to count,they will confirm it come in a sealed thick nylon pack then sealed again in a second pack keeping it airtight with double seal,I see it is obvious that my dear farmer in Ghana is just out on a vengeful mlission to drag my name in the mud ,which to me is just childish pettiness.
betabread: Seeds are very delicate,There are so many things that might have happened in between that both of u are not aware of....... like I said swallow and move on, Dont bother trying to get back by tarnishing his image
If he is sincere, he will get a lot of this feed back and he will try to identify where the problem is coming from and fix.... A whole income stream is hanging on d line
I showed him videos of the nursery we did for our farm from same batch with 90% germination,I even suggested to him if he can take seedlings free of charge and aviod the stress of nursery because we have a huge nursery at hand for our projec,but he declined,I wonder if it is technisem or east west seeds will anybody listen to him talkless of replacing half, immediately you open the packet the warranty is over,Ihe doesn't know that if pepper seeds are kept were air can enter those tiny ants will also enter,the company wants to know what went wrong that they even included 10 grams of the new yellow variety so he will also try but this farmer instead if seeking my help decided to call me a scammer,I didn't even know about this post but was informed on WhatsApp by a farmer that bought 200 grams from us in delta state last month,this post is reckless ,malicious and defaming,pls farmtech and co take down this thread
Xpol: I'm bringing this here not because of the money I lost but I want to prevent more victims.
Okoroemeka is a disguised scammer. Don't buy seeds from him especially if your place is far.
Currently he's having some damaged pepper seeds, when you order for pepper seeds he'll deliberately send the damaged seeds and when you complained, he will tell you to just nurse it and let's see if some will germinate, of which he knew it will never germinate. He will promise to send you a replacement if it doesn't germinate, then later turn around and accuse you of being the one who damage the seeds.
I stopped doing business especially online transactions with fellow Nigerians long time coz it always lead to regret but I just want to try this guy because of what he has been posting in this agric session.
we have heard from one side of the story,now let us hear my own side,this my fellow farmer based in Ghana and wants 50 grams of pepper seed so he contacted me but insisted he will not pay full amount that he will pay half and after receiving will pay remaining half,we delivered the goods and he paid the balance,he opened the sealed satchet and collect a Few seeds and tried and didn't properly reseal the packet or transfer into glass jar,so ants entered and ate the seeds,he later did another nursery and a few came up and he started complaining of no germination which we find unusual because we have delivered to more than 500 farmers this year alone both in Nigeria and beyond with no complains,so I gave our director the feedback that the customer is demanding replacement but they said the fault is from his side that they will only replace 25 grams or half that he will cater for the remaining half,I told the farmer involved and he started abusing me and calling me scammer,I told him that the company will send the waybill to him the next Friday,they sent the materials that day from aba to Lagos and paid the driver but this farmer refused to call the driver or send his people to collect it,the driver later called me that the office has washed their hands off the matter that the receiver is not picking their calls,after 4 days in Lagos I have to pay#3000 naira for waybill to another driver again to onitsha and then I collected it back,I informed the farmer that the driver is in Lagos and calling him to send somebody to collect it and he said he will forget it and buy seeds from technisem in ghana ,if you know that is your plan why putting us to great stress and expenses to send that package to Lagos?,next thing is for him to call me a scammer
TheSkyIsBlue: My Sister Is About To Commit A Serious Taboo All In The Name Of Marriage
Hello Nairalanders!
Please ignore any typographical or grammatical error. I just want to pour it out the way it is in my heart.
I am seriously confused and worried about what is happening in my family and I will appreciate your candid advice.
There is this guy my sister has been in a relationship with for over seven years now. so he actually asked her hand in marriage and decided to come see my parents for introduction, about some months ago. My family decided to take their time to find out more about the guys family background as is required in Igbo tradition.
After several questions asked, my family came to find out that the guy is an Osu (an outcast). On knowing this, everybody in my family told my sister to cut ties with him and discontinue the relationship because it is a big taboo to get married to an Osu in my place . If you do, no family member or friend will attend your wedding or even have anything to do with you again.
But my sister refused to listen to anybody claiming she really loves the guy, that they have been together for a very long time and that she is not getting younger anymore (mind you, she is in her early thirties). Everybody (my parents and extended family members) tried to talk her out of it but she still didn't listen.
After much pressure and her continues insistence, my dad decided to give them his blessings, although against his wish (my dad is actually not really deep into tradition). Now the guy has done all the traditional rights and paid for her dowry. Their wedding is coming up soon.
But the problem now is, according to tradition and from what I heard, if she was allowed to go with the guy without my dad giving them his blessings, the stigma would have just been on her and she alone would have been considered Osu, since she insisted to continue with the marriage. But now that my dad has given them his blessings, it is considered that all of us (her siblings) will also have that link of Osu too. Except if she decide to put an end to the relationship and discontinue with the wedding, which I don't think my sister is ready to do.
I am really worried and depressed about it, cause I don't want anything that will affect me tomorrow when I want to get married just because of my sister's mistakes.
I will really like to get opinions and sincere advice especially from those that are familiar with tradition, cause I'm seriously bothered. Thanks!
your sister is lucky to find a man that stood by her side faithfully for seven years,the scarcity of husband material has rubbished the osu caste ideology,times has changed and we must move on with it or be left behind
Goodmarlian: I had a dream this afternoon I remember toasting a girl i knew in real life she was a teenager,in the dream and she started insulting me I was totally conscious of what was happening my thinking faculty was still active ,I remember telling the girl I am not her mate that I will first report her to her parents before beating her I remember holding her hands and her skin was smooth and soft it seems our brain has a portal to another realm of existence.
the brain processes and stores many informations of what we see hear,smell and think about that is why you always dreams about what you think about always or mostly your last thoughts before falling asleep,some medical conditions and medications can cause more dreams that may seem real,which is way some people can see crazy things when suffering from acute malaria,I also remember some years ago I was on anti diabetes drugs,the dreams became so vivid and intense that I started to see visions like st John the apostle,very scary
I really laughed when I read the worlds toughest prison,that is very funny indeed,maybe the op has not seen the inside bowels of remand custody detention in Nigeria,it has moved beyond tough to what words that are yet to be invented by the oxford dictionaries can explain.
Suicideboy: Long story short, I've dedicated my whole life to my career, now holding an engineering role with close ties to my company's executive committee. To get here, I chose to stay single and even burned bridges with family and friends.
Recently, though, I've been questioning it all. A close colleague, who worked directly under the CTO and was with the firm for nearly 20 years, was abruptly fired after a minor disagreement. Seeing someone so loyal and experienced dismissed so easily made me realize how fragile my own position is. If that happened to me, I don’t know if I could recover. It's left me feeling nihilistic about all the sacrifices I made for my career.
I can buy any car I want, own the latest phones and gadgets, dine at the finest restaurants, and even pay for the company of the most expensive escorts. Yet, none of it fills the void. I’ve achieved what most would call success, but it feels hollow. Every purchase, every indulgence, is just a fleeting distraction from the emptiness that lingers. The more I have, the more I realize how little it all means. What’s the point of all this wealth and status if, at the end of the day, I still feel utterly alone and unfulfilled?
I think from your own observations you have already have the answer to the question you asked,a time will reach in your life that those gadgets,money and things that make you happy now will taste like ashs and dust in your mouth,you will seek companionship,good,health and family,go and build bridges with your family and get a good woman to marry,,one tree does not make a forest.
Sirchiboy: I have know this guy wayback in 2013. We live in this compound. I could remember this was the period bet was popular so I normally use to win bet. Each time I have game I give them and we all we win. I could remember when I won 250k in 2014 and my friends including this guy that is rich now escorted me to collect the winning. I dash them money and bought drink ... Late 2016 we lost contact and I went back back to my state because things were hard for me. 2022 I heard that this guy has blow. He now has a company. Last month he bought a house and car in leakki. I sent him chat on FB and he doesn't reply me. I didn't ask him for money. I just asked him to give me one or two business idea and this guy read my messages. Never reply me. The same thing happened too with these three Guys back in school that I use to help during exam . These three guys have built houses, married and have cars. I am still here struggling. I swear and I have vowed that this earth will favor me and this money all of us make it. . . I repeat I swear and I have vowed that this earth will favor me and this money all of us make it. . . I repeat
I really don't blame your friends if they aviod you,if I am in such role I will also aviod you,they don't see any potential value your friendship can add to their life but may carry the risk associated with jealousy and envy,restrategize your Life and add value to it,they may still believe you are still a gamblers and that is a big turn off to self made men,take heart such is Life
SmartPolician: The Nigerian soldiers treat Southern Nigeria the way they can never treat the North. It makes one wonder if we have two different constitutions in this country. RIP to Sir Okugbaye. He has paid with his life.
as of now the military has completely blocked the federal highway from anambra to imo state at umunze with no access given to motorists and cyclists for three weeks now for reasons we don't know,all movements are now through bush paths and increasing suffering on the already suffering inhabitants,the attitude of the army in the southeast is that of conquering army occupying a people defeated in war
SouthSouth1914: This man came onboard same time as Tinubu. One has took his country out of a mess, and the other thrown his country into a bottomless hole of misery.
our leaders are just interested in getting power at all cost,with zero plan or economic program how to manage the country
These pictures is trending , and I must say, the transformation is shocking. While it's true that change is life's only constant, this particular change is quite way too much . What could have caused such change in her appearance over these few years, making her look older than her age?
it is motherhood,it changes some women dramatically,also she is short,if she is a bit taller it may not be so dramatic
I love seeing dumb people being used and oppressed by the smarter ones
Person cheat on you before and you later con dey carry her responsibility.
Even she would be shocked at how easy it was for her to use him
most times as human beings we need failures and bad experiences to make us better,my babe for 3 years did similar thing to me,after a week of her phone not going I drove to her house to see them packing canopy and chairs,it turned out the babe had her traditional marriage two days ago,I was speechless and dumb,she was planning all that under my nose and we even knacked a week previously,such experience can make a man develop thick skin like elephant and be indifferent to whatever women can do,I later switched over to her junior sister and be managing that one, at all at all na witch
what is horrific?this girl left her house and went to a night party with Randy men and crazy drinks and substances around and mistakenly thought she was going to a prayer meeting,24 yrs ago,so any girl fvcked by such men over the years can come up after 24 yrs and claim rape,is it because that are celebrities?can she honestly say that no man has ever knacked her forcefully since?
Alakoriomo: I really find it hard to believe that someone who has #634M in Nigeria hasn’t sell his business and properties and use all the money to process student visa and japa. How can someone be like this? You have this amount of money and u have not japa. Some, especially Igbo men from the south and the east, will rather think of using this money to establish business in Nigeria and employ people, instead of japa. This isn’t a good thing to do.
so if I have close to #1 billion in cash and properties I will sell all and go and wash toilet and dead bodies in Europe in the freezing snow,I don't think you are an igboman to have this type of orientation,because many region now believe without japa you cannot make it in Nigeria,I laugh,go to onitsha,aba,nnewi,owerri,umuahia,enugu,awka and see businessmen and women that goes aborad to buy goods and come back to Nigeria,it is poor people that japa

If you dey any of the above countries, you don't know what God has done for you. People are suffering in Nigeria. Don't be deceived by all those guys commending this administration.. they are not based in Nigeria.
As a Nigerian, Life is already winning you by 1:0, then if you come poor, that's 2:0 by default. Imagine how many clubs fit do come back at 2:0.. it happens once in a while. There's a high possibility that Chelsea won't replicate such success till the end of this season. [/b]JAPA NOW[b]

do you know how much it will cost now to go to those countries you listed?do you think any average Nigerian can just pack his bags and move to new Zealand?it is now meant for the rich or those with properties to sell,or those willing to brave the hot sands of the Sahara desert and the depths of the Mediterranean sea,be realistic and optimistic for the millions that cannot japa
Bookhub: If I am not the mentally strong type I would have committed suicide a long time ago or even go insane because of frustration,I have this problem since childhood, money barely last in my hands no matter how much I hardly achieve anything good with it, and I hardly get financial favours from people everything I achieved in my life is through struggle,sweat and blood. I am beginning to suspect it is a foundational or family curse or maybe it's the environment I am working because it got worse since I started working there, because I know the people in my working place are monitoring spirits every body is just curious about my progress it has become abnormal. middle of this year after hard thinking I cooked up an idea on how to make money and the idea worked perfectly in less than a week I made 200k guess what happened next my news spread throughout my workplace that I am now in money I am the type that barely tell people my secret because of the issues I have had before how the news got to them shocked me,everyone is just taxing me,all of a sudden I lost my phone, I used inside the money to buy a new phone so that I can continue the business but guess what my WhatsApp was blocked immediately no fraud nothing ,in the new phone I lost all my clients it took me months to get then I believed its not ordinary I go to church and pray alot but it still persist,I don't womanize or spend lavishly
Someone told my chi is not happy with me but I don't believe in all these traditional medicine shitt right now I am about to go bankrupt again and even owing debts here and there I should have even become a millionaire by now through that business Idea but I have lost all my clients through that WhatsApp,I have to start afresh again to build it. And everything I have being doing since then has being failing woefully
if I talk my own you will understand you have not seen setbacks failure is not to feared,it is an integral part of progress and perfection,the only thing we need to fear is the fear to continue against all odds
silverkings: Una go dey bring nonsense and stupid things here to discuss as Christians.
So the husband go dey follow his pastor wife up and down
Stop mocking Christianity here. If you have run out of meaningful topics on Sundays make una stop biko
I don't really which one is more concerning to this pastor,is it the wives knacking abroad or the husbands despoiling church girls,what I know is that his reason of husband's managing church alone is a load of trash and a cover up,let him stop speaking in riddles
VillageGuyArts1: Hello guys, I'm still trying to recover from the trauma. This is someone who I trusted. It's messed up how people can take advantage of you just because you let them into your personal space. It happened last week and I just summoned the courage to speak up. I was home when my sister's friend came to visit, she comes around sometimes. (she's like family to us). So when she came I was busy working on some artworks in my room. My sister wasn't around so she came to my room and we talked. At some point I felt sleepy and decided to rest a little bit because I didn't get enough sleep the previous night due to the artworks I was working on. (It was stressful) But here's the part that shocked me to my bones. I woke up, barely opened my eyes and I was hearing some funny sound beside me. I turned around, Lo and behold, she was watching a movie on my laptop. I sat upright and looked at her, then I asked her, how come there's a movie on my laptop? (I don't use my laptop to watch movies) Then she responded and said, "I installed Netflix and downloaded a lot of movies". I was so shocked. I decided to check my data balance, only to find out that she had used almost 40gb downloading movies. Anyways, I told her to leave my room because I was disappointed. So guys, I don't know if I should forgive her or make her stay away. Let me know. Anyways, here are some of the artworks I was working on when she came.
honestly I was disappointed at the ending of this story,I was eagerly reading to know if she was depraved and behaving a little more mischievous. You should have gently lectured her how to respect other people's space and privacy in an understanding manner instead of abruptly chasing her out of yout room,I know many will not waste that 40g like that one hot quickie round might have been in order
madridguy: Adegboyega should come back home and continue his service for humanity.
this is were his service is most needed,we have multitudes of displaced people in camps,many boreholes to dig,many schools to help,and also many married women he can fvck as well as cheat,he can also drive his fleet of Ferraris and Lamborghinis with police escort,I wonder why he is afraid of coming back to Nigeria?this is were the enjoyment is if you have the money
Mrdellychy: Go to any agro shops and ask for Dragon super , mix 250ml into 16L sprayer. You can half fill your sprayer if you cannot carry the weight of full load or if the space the grass is occupying is not big so as to save your chemical. In that case, you will need to reduce the vol of the chemical by half also.
N.B: -spray in the morning when the grass is moist. -shine your eyes, there is dragon and there is dragon super...don't buy ordinary Dragon. - After 5 days, your grasses will change color and dry up.
if dragon super did not kill that grass nothing else will kill it
iykbethany: I'm reaching out for advice from fellow farmers and agric experts. My healthy bell pepper plants have started to change color, shrink, and even die off. I'm not sure what's causing the problem.
Could it be due to heat, disease, pests, or something else? I'd greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how to solve this problem. I'm not a happy man right now coz i was hoping to cash out this Christmas
does the dead ones have knots on the roots to indicate nematodes?did you apply anything harsh recently like fresh chicken manure or urea fertilizer?and what I suspect is that the greenhouse is doing its job far too well,because the major reason of greenhouse use is to trap heat and create a tropical microclimate for warm weather crops to grow off season,and with the average temperature hovering at 32c/33c,it will be higher inside the greenhouse by 3-4%,and if planted outside aviod spraying anytime from morning to afternoon,only in the evening or night,this is what maybe the causes that might point to a solution,but in vegetable farming prevention is better than cure and if a problem comes to this stage of crops dying off there is little you can do but hope the mortality will be minimal,increase the irrigation and if planted in greenhouse to open the sides if possible for better airflow and ventilation,the current outside temperature is a killer on its own,ithen consider crops in covered nylon houses
guobe: My secondary school mate got married to his secondary school girlfriend and they were classmates. They both proceeded to the same University and got married after NYSC . It's quite rare for such occurrence but it does happen. I think this is a definition of real ❤️ love. Happy for them.
that is excatly what I did 24 years ago,when I was just 24/25 yrs old, it tops the list of the best decision I have ever taken in Life
essentialone: If a guy breaks up with his lady, should he take back the things he bought for her?
what about the knacking,the squeezing of breast,the kisses,the domestic chores and the times she made you feel good?do you think there is not a price for that,pls spend what you can afford to lose on women and leave them alone
Ritchiee: Make Punch bring out their own make we see. The methodology of ILO which NBS is using now is the globally accepted system. Should Nigeria be using a methodology that is obsolete and unacceptable to the world as they have been doing before now?
you don't need punch to bring out their own data,you have your two eyes and ears or less you are not living in Nigeria,why should we adopt same system used by ILO in countries like Norway and Switzerland in Nigeria,do we now count someone earning #1000 naira a week as employed?we need that obsolete methodology
tojahh: Hello everyone I am planning a journey to the east around 22/23/24 December (don't know which day is best yet) Haven't chosen the date yet as i'm still observing security trends and first-hand experiences from people who have embarked on similar journey this month of December.
Ordinarily, I would have flown but e get as e be....
Although sometime ago (August/September) I completed similar trip to and fro without any hassle, but this time I am travelling with a sedan.
Will update as I gather more information and fix a travel date.
More details:
Vehicle- 2008 Honda civic 1.8L, 5speed A/T. Estimated travel time- 13 hours. Estimated travel distance- 580km. No of occupants- 3. Max speed- 100km/hr. I am not a speedster 😂 na jeje I dey go my thing. Estimated time to leave Lagos: 4am Expect time of arrival at Owerri: 4pm considering I don't run and race other cars and any delays 5pm.
Please help me take this to frontpage for wider discussions as I need proper first hand guide. I will keep updating as I make this trip with pictures and events till I arrive.
Do not estimate your travel time it is in hands of fate and God,just do the right things and drive carefully,,there was a year I reached head bridge by 6 pm on 23 December and it was 10pm before I stepped down on the onitsha side, thankfully such experience will be extinct by now due to the second bridge
chigoziri2403: Let transportation companies travel together with military escorts
that will just be a temporary measure,just like applying first aid,I believe what Mr Peter obi said that rising poverty , undeveloped human capital and economic hardship is a national security risk
