i think the deaths need to get to a number that will force nigerians to have common sense
Buhari should lift the lockdown and let people die by choice. By the time you bury your parents and children nobody will tell u before u enter house and lock door

this is indeed a catch 22 situation,the devil's alternative,the choice for the presidency is between the devil and the deep blue sea,any decision they will take, people will die.do they sacrifice the entire Nigerian economy and millions of jobs and life or do they relax the lockdown to save the economy ,millions of life's and jobs,in place accept collateral damage of some thousands died to the virus,what choice will it be?

Oga okoroemeka, kindly confirm, this are Okra Hire and Clemson Spineless right? I want to plant some okra and all seeds im seeing is clemson spineless.

Clemson spineless ,nihort nh-43ae,kirikou are the varieties I know that will be sold before it is even harvested,and the best season for okra is around the corner,target to harvest between july-august okra are usually scarce and costly by that time.

SensualMan1:
Is the AC working?

very funny,an endless money pit ,the op will be happy if he sees any buyer for #100k or he may just sell it to scrap iron dealers

this is but to show mankind that nature is the ultimate super power and all mankind's efforts are tiny to nature's power,,who could have predicted that the whole world will shut down and run indoors,it shows previews of what will happen if we don't obey nature's laws and live in harmony with her,China and Asia particular must ban the commercial sale, consumption of wild animals and leave them in the wild or else more surprises awaits us.

fineapple:
Where can I get good variety pepper seeds. I need jalapeños, tatashe, shombe, and sweet peppers red green or yellow.
Thanks

we have pepper seeds,Whatapp 08119942049 for more info

Krak:
Please how or where can I get these agric bitter leaves?

we have it in our farm,if you are around the South East we can send it to you free of charge but you will pay for waybill .

EMMAACHILE:
lol. I dont think you need to spray weekly maybe depending on the type of insecticides used.
There are many systemic insecticides but some are stronger than others. In my experience using chemicals, the most efficient are often the most toxic like the chlorpyrifos which some called the alternative to Sarin gas ( a nerve agent). In combination with dimethoate, nothing will survive on the farm including snakes, scorpions.

hmm, using those two products you just mentioned on a pepper farm is like using a bazooka to kill a grass cutter,many animals will even run away from that site including rodents and even antelopes.i personally will not spray such combination under no circumstances,it is simply too risky.

if you try that nonsense in onitsha or aba,the last thing you will ever see is Tyre and fuel and you will turn to roasted pork,with enough sadistic mass beating first.

FarmTech:

Lol. U are like me oo. But mine was focusing on leafhoppers without knowing that thrips were doing their job under the leaves. But thank God I've cleared them.

I think the best safety measures we discovered in our farm Is spraying a good systemic insecticide weekly,Many of these stubborn and mischievous pest are so small to detect easily and they also hide under the leafs to compound the problem,you may be deceived in thinking that all is well until it is too late,,they are the no 1 carriers of diseases,,weekly application will make sure that all pest that is stupid enough to leave to whole green leaves in the bush to bite my pepper it will be it's last supper

Psalmy2cute:
efia and local variety.. kotonu pepper

I guessed as much,the crop vigor is poor, when doing a commercial farm like this with expensive irrigation equipments it is best to go for proven seeds,don't be surprised to see shombo,chili,jalapeno, even bell pepper in that local cotonou pepper,you really have to boost the farm with chicken manure and fertilizers,it is dark now I could have shown you pics of how a vigorous hybrid pepper looks like

Victornezzar:
Good morning Mr Emeka, I know this isn't the right thread for this, I've few questions
1. What's the cost startup for a cucumber farm.... 3 plots
2. Using drip irrigation is expensive... Is there any alternative
3. How many times can Cucumber be planted in a year
4. How much can I used in drip irrigation in setting up an acre of cucumber farm
Sorry for derailing once again

whatapp 08119942049 to stop further derailment.

Psalmy2cute:
but my question is, will these affected plants bring fort new foliage?? or theyll die??

don't worry they will bring out even fresher foliage,just apply urea fertilizer and spray a mixture of fungicide,foliar fertilizer and systemic insecticide on the whole crop,pepper is a resilient crop,there is a site we planted pepper this time last year and I went to clear the land for other projects to see the crops fully regenerated and fruiting,how it managed to survive the dry season and harmattan I cannot understand.

Psalmy2cute:
atleast I now know what aphids looks like.. and the nest way to spot them is ants.. ants farm on aphids.. so if you're having black ants on your pepper stand.. theres 90% chance aphids are present

that is the reason vegetable farms should be checked carefully if you ate spraying two weeks interval,but if you spray weekly I don't see the possibility of aphids surviving a dose of laraforce gold or coursge.,most of the time the organic solution fades quickly with a strong rainfall.

PotatoSalad:
Bubonic plague: Check
Small Pox: Check
Cholera: Check
WW1: Check
Spanish flu: Check
WW2: Check
Hong Kong Virus: Check
Nigeria Civil War: Check (Onitsha was bombed to the ground but go there today)
SARS: Check
Ebola: Check

Time heals wounds and we get stronger.

So Yes things will get back to normal, even better

I think the great bubonic plague or the black death is by far the worst killer on this list,it killed 50% of the population of tthe known world or an estimated 200 million people,it killed probably more than all other disasters on the list.

Cousin9999:
Melinda Gates doesn't possess a medical degree or any degree in medical science.

Melinda Gates has never lived anywhere in Africa for a substantial amount of time nor does she speak an African language or socialize with Africans. She is not married to an African.

She doesn't have the credentials, personal history, or knowledge to speak authoritatively on anything involving Africa's medical issues now or in the future.

She's a stupid, racist b**** that married a rich, ugly degenerate (and possible homosexual), so she should would never have to do an honest day of work again.

She's only qualified to comment on f***ing your boss and being a pig.

haaaaahaaaa!! The oyibo people are furious and desperate for the virus to kill as many Africans like it is doing in Europe or America,but this time around something they are curious to discover is protecting sub Saharan African,most of their scientists are saying hot weather,some are saying BCG vaccine,others immune system,but all I know is that our long past years of suffering is now our saviour.

Hadsty23:
Okoroemeka... Please a brief of this will help us novice to determine.

like my fellow Farmer rightly said that the answers to your questions is in the thread,but one thing you have to understand is that one plot is small for a pepper farm,it is not a complicated crop to grow like cucumbers but it takes time and space,the only two stubborn points to be wary of in pepper farming is viral/bacterial leaf shrinking disease and immature pod shedding, there are other pitfalls and potholes along the road but they are easily managed with good maintenance,a successful pepper farmer is a proactive individual that plans ahead,by this time his farm should be flowering and fruiting already so to utilize the rains and high price,90-100 days is a long time to wait especially if you are broke and hungry, pepper farming required an unwavering clear focus on target and the mindset to believe in yourself.

I have a sneaky suspicion that our creator must be a little too mischievous in creating this special type of women to torment manhoods and then give us orders not to touch,this must be a marcabe joke.if dissecting that body will take me to hell so be it.

bibiking7:




The touts, agberos, nurtw, bus conductors, thugs and thieves earn daily incomes. Most of them have been deprived and are now desperate.

and almost 90% of them drink alcohol, smoke weed and other assorted smokeables daily and it must be paid for

SLAP44:
Nigerians are crying for food just 2 weeks of peacefully staying at home forgetting that the Igbos faced starvation for 3 straight years while the Biafran war lasted?

And we must remember that for this last two weeks they are crying, nobody is bombing their markets, churches, schools, hospitals and refugee camps unlike what happened to the Igbos?

And no one is laying any land siege, sea or air blockade on Nigerians, nobody is shooting at both moving and unmoving targets this past two weeks and yet they are crying?

If you are finding what happened in the past two weeks difficult, remember to visit any Igbos born before 1970 and congratulate them because they are the real heroes of our time. They endured for 3 years and survived it all to thrive in the same space.

God bless the Igbos.

during that difficult times any animal,insect,bird,reptile or amphibian creature from vultures to lizards are fair game to be hunted and consumed,it is he who had not experienced hardship can tell were the limits of human endurance lies.

excanny:
150k per plot isn't agric-friendly price, friend. We are looking at acquiring 15 hectares of farmland. SE is a no no.

Southwest or middle belt will be your best bet,cross river also has cheap lands around ugep.

excanny:
What are the cheapest offers an acre can go for in SS or SE?

there is 200 plots available near NIHORT mbato okigwe at #150k per plot,if you seriously need cheap land for agricultural purposes and also good sites near rivers for earth pond contact Whatapp 08119942049

if you say the south then Yoruba land is also included, you will see acre of #80-100k outright purchase in ogun state

Albertone:
Am I the only one who hates fishes? I eat them, I puke!!
The smell is enough repellant for me.Catfishes are the worst when it comes to odour.I don't like seeing fishes,I don't like eating it(i once ate it to discover i don't like it).Never touched a raw fish before,either dead or alive



In all, God created them and they are a blessing to mankind.These riverine areas are really blessed o. I wish i can like and start eating fishes

if I use that big fish and old layers to cook white soup with fresh pepper,utazi,uziza and pounded yam for you,you will change your view point about fish and see it from a fresh perspective.

Robert Ludlum,The scarletti inheritance,the first novel I bought with money stolen from my mother's purse during my js3 year 1990.

E-books apps is the best way to have access to books that cannot be found in bookshops in Nigeria or even abroad,I cannot even remember the last time I bought a novel,if you are a fan of historical fiction either ancient, medieval or modern you may consider this authors (1)Bernard Cornwell(2)Wilbur Smith(3)Conn iggulden(4)Robert Fabbri(5)William Dietrich(6)h rider Haggard(7)Gary Jennings(jack Ludlow (Steven saylor(9)Harry side bottom (10)Christian jacq(11)Jeffery Archer(12)Frederick Forsyth(13)Robert harris.let us stop here for now.

I doubt if you can keep that handwriting going like that when writing test on pedology by our sadistic professor.

MyVILLAGEpeople:
People will come out by force. Hunger is more deadly than coronavirus. People won't care anymore. How can u just put people Indoors without considering how they will feed??. Majority of Nigerians are living from hand to mouth without government support.

will people just come outside and stand idle,if the markets remain locked how can the Barrow Pusher work or if policemen are on check every 1 kilometer how can you drive about,it is a trap.

MadeINchenzen2:
nature had no hand in the disappearance of dinosaurs. Humans did, very soon pangolines will follow just like the white Rhino.

asteroids exist already in the world we live in, mark my word... asteroids cannot scale through the windows of the earth without being pulverised into tiny bits.

what u call gold and precious stones today is an example of what happened to the last asteroid that hit the earth many years ago. check google

how can humans cause the Extinction of dinosaurs when the last dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago and the earliest human fossil is 6 million years old, modern homo sapiens didn't live with the dinosaurs maybe another yet undiscovered early humanoid and also all mankind's efforts is tiny compared to what nature can unleash,nature is the only force that can totally destroy the world and make mankind to be extinct,an eruption of multiple super volcanoes can trigger a catastrophic climate change that will cause complete crop failures and famine also an asteriod strike will also cause mass extinction as during dinosaurs age, even our sun can explode or implode causing other planets to fail,don't believe that the world will last forever or that mankind will destroy the world,the ecosystem has a way to soak up man's worst excess.

FarmTech:
.
I'll try it and see what happens. Using insecticides like chlorfenapyr, emamectin benzoate and imidacloprid may work. Which insecticides did u guys tried?

you also have to make sure of what you spray on a fruit that is harvested and eaten raw every 4 days, Even before you are aware of them the whole farm is totally infected,there's a reason a bag can go as high as #12-14,000k a bag, during dry season,70-80% of eggplant farms are shut down by that nuisance,if a farmer is getting 10 bags every 4 days@₦5k per bag do you think he fold his hands and watch such money go away,he will try everything under the sun to chase the pest away,but unfortunately nature is the one factor that eradicates the pest 100%

FarmTech:
Thanks. I strongly believe that all stubborn pests and diseases can be effectively controlled by spraying under the leaves.

my brother when rain reduces or stops from October/November there is no type of pesticide that can rid an eggplant farm from fruitborer (oti) invasions,there mode of operations is simple they will just land on a developing fruit bore a tiny hole inside and lay egg and then fly off, all your crops will be healthy greenish and full of fruit,but if you harvest 70% of the fruits will have maggot like larvae inside,we have tried every thing possible believe me,but rainfall is the only check for those pestz.

Kingsdave:
Mine is 2009 no dipstick to check any thing.. Its sealed

modern cars this days are built with carefully planned obsolescence,most modern cars are made to last the warranty years after that you are on your own,the reason they didn't bother about a dipstick is that they know the transmission will last the 60 months or 60,000 miles power train warranty no need to even change the oil,so if you are driving such cars above 100,000 +miles you will be sure to see some nasty surpises
