this type of car is what Scott kilmer will call an endless money pit,if engine is the constant headache just put Japanese engine inside.

I don't think you have a problem there,some men are abused at 7-10 years and by 12-13 yrs they are already fvcking oloshos,so you see my friend you didn't even start early enough

BlackfireX:
Igbos always like showing off....

I don't think there's any problem with that, will you spend millions to buy a car and drive it only at night,you will show off in broad daylight so your enemies will see you with their two korokoro eyes.

Sterlingsolutns:
Please, what spacing in metres did you use between bamboos within rows? They appear too wide to me. Are the bamboos (in numbers) enough to support the cucumbers when they start fruiting?

the spacing between the bamboos is 20ft,it is the same measurements and system we used at project green seas and we saw no issues there,I think the way staking net handles load and stress is different from nylon ropes that are placed on an angle,I think I will investigate the physics more deeply

Boldtouch:
Sir, how often will you recommend this mixture application of OCM to be done till harvest period! Would love if you could share your thoughts... Regards.

we are planning on fertigating the ocm every 2 days,we have discovered that it's better to feed cucumbers small doses of nutrients steady than a heavy dose that is irregular, cucumbers grow so fast and consumes nutrients so greedily that an everyday small dose is a very good idea to replace the nutrients used that day,if you dump manure or npk fertilizer and relax before you know it the nutrients will be gone and the leafs will turn yellow then you will start running Helter skelter to amend the soil but it could be late.

A very clean farm u have there. I am worried about biofilm formation due to microbial activities. It may take weeks b4 they start blocking emitters. This is just a thought. So experiment and keep us updated.
.
Have u considered buying nutrients like KNO3, MgSO4, Ca(NO3)2, Boron etc in bags? It will be way cheaper than all these foliar fertilizer stuffs.

yes, microbial activity was another angle we are watching out for but after the ocm fertigation we run clean water through the system for a period of time to flush out the residual ocm that can breed microbial growth,also we have multi k potassium nitrate that we fertigate weekly for added boost.

How do u plan irrigating this one?

haba,@farmtech this your question has expired now,we transplanted February 19 and irrigated it till flowering and fruiting now March 11,also rains are coming and you are still asking how we are planning to irrigate,we have already won the battle,my workers uses flexible hose connected to a borehole to water them every 2 days.they can water 1000 crops in 45 mins.note the hole system used, it contains and reserves more water

It's typical of negroids to only think of the moment. No thought of the future in their reasoning!

The next set of Guinea pigs for a new virus will surely be Nigerians.

Hungry fools!

what do you expect them to do with it,pet it or probably give it chocolate and wave goodbye,in a country of intense and extreme poverty and hunger,in my area in anambra that crocodile as bush meat is worth 30-40,000 naira cash to the hunter and you are thinking such bonanza will be ignored in Nigeria today,if you love animals next time you see a puff adder or gaboon viper Pat it on the head let's see if you will not be stone dead in 5 hrs,nature has given this creatures such adaptation to fear human beings and aviod them by any means necessary,most of this animals killed are accident encounters or caught in traps,crocodiles are not going extinct they just aviod humans and live in deep remote swamps.

Thanks a lot. I have blanched some nsukka peppers and dry them. They maintain their color. May be it has to do with chemical composition.

maybe,or soil pH,but what I know is that 80% of dried ground pepper in the market today are not Cameroon pepper,but ordinary habaneros blanched,dried and crushed.

after several experiments on using organic chicken manure(ocm) for fertigation in cucumbers we finally decided to use the method of soaking the OCM in a big vat not putting it in bags and pouring water into it and after turning for 3-4 days the mixture is left to settle for a day so that the solid materials will sediment at the bottom,this method gives faster extraction of nutrients in the OCM,so we simply skim the solution and filter with a fine mesh,we have no method to check the nutrient composition of the OCM but the solution is so potent that if it drops on cucumber leafs that area will turn white in hours just like urea,the organic fertigation was a success no blocked emitters no dramas.with this method it's a cost cutting solution on feeding crops small dose of nutrients even on a daily basis with no added stress either on the body or in the pocket.

veggieman2be:
Thanks boss. I have filled about 250 pure water sachet with sand but without manure I will fill another set with manure and transplant in twos per bag.

Can I prune pepper while on the heap or must it be done on single grow bags

after you put them into single grow bags ,let them settle for at least 1 week before topping it

Intendy:
oga okoroemeka when was this nursery done? cause my recent pepper nursery is 8 days old today (Avenir) and at around 40% germination

my brother I don't know what is wrong,almost going to 2 weeks now not even 1 seed germinated, this is so frustrating,I guess the avenir seed is now Russian roulette,so batch germinates ,some don't.

OluchiDelly:
Am not talking about the seedlings, but the seeds pls i need it badly, I have bn searching to purchase it. All markets here really crave for the Cotonou variety. Though the fruits are smaller than avenir and co, they assume all big fruits are not peppery

you don't have to look further this is how Cameron variety looks like,it's smaller than avenir ,spicier and easy to get instead than avenir,the pic below is two nurserys we did same time on 50 gram avenir and other 20 gram Cameron pepper,after more than two weeks no single avenir germinated,zero germination,but the Cameron pepper has 85% germination,I think the results is there for everyone to see.

@benuejosh,I have lived in your area and worked with benue cement at vandikaya for some time,I really love this storage deal,pls can I contact you to get more insight my WhatsApp no 08119942049,

Pls I need this info because I'm interested in selling dried pepper. People have always associated Cameroon pepper with any pepper with dark color.

from careful observation we found out that all habaneros and scotch bonnet varieties both opv,avenir hybrids or any hybrid and Cameron pepper always turn a brown color when blanched and dried,we have successfully dried and prepared a batch of avenir that even the market women cannot tell the difference between original Cameron pepper,but we're I am skeptical is chili peppers because they always retain their red colour even dried,that makes me to wonder if they are only sun dried or is it the blanching the changes the colour to brown,these are interesting questions that need answers,I think it's time to put on our thinking caps and conduct further experiments.

veggieman2be:
Stay tuned for

1. Making of heap and spacing

2. Transplanting

But meanwhile am confused..... Some suggested I

I. Transplant on heap that the height is Ok, the pepper is just a month

II. Some say I should transplant on pure water nylon 1st to avoid shock that will kill most and also that the heat is too much

III. While others say I should still leave them on the bed till end of March then I can transfer them to the bed

Which should I follow also what treatment and fertilization program should I follow should I change my mind from using Agrited chicken waste ( Am using dried one must I compost it before using)

The pix as at today

that nursery is far too congested,problems may start to manifest,if you are busy and cannot organize for single grow bags , prepare another area were the crops can be thinned and transplanted out well spaced so they can continue to grow,but the best solution is to use single grow bags it saves a lot of mortality by transplant shock and excess heat, even if it's two plants by bag as we did with our eggplant nursery,we used ordinary black nylon used by market women there's a size that is same with normal grow bags,just get those use workers and fill it with soil mixed with manure,it will be added expenses but you will be grateful in the end

first batch we transplanted February 19 are flowering already and one leg is already across the finish line,buhari or not we don't care money must come.pics will come tomorrow of that batch.

mega green garden egg nursery on the drawing board,10,000 stands of healthy eggplants in single grow bags,money must come out from the bush,no retreat no surrender !!!

even if he is rushed to the hospital will they have the correct anti vennom,a bit by a gaboon viper that big is a death sentence,the reptile is a living breathing land mine.

Eventually, Nigeria shall develop along regional lines. Where one region currently contributes the bulk of government earnings is meaningless in the long run and ballooning population.

Niger-Delta sells oil which proceeds can be used to buy food from the North and North-Central. The South-West is the gateway of foreign goods influx into the country = taxes and levies/duties on imports. Not to forget cocoa which can be exported to Belgium and Switzerland. Boasting of a sizeable population, people can also be taxed to raise revenue. The South-East shall be the manufacturing hub and commercial nerve of a regionalized Nigeria. Each region federates itself, have its own police, enforces its own laws and even conduct its own elections. We scrap the Senate and have three representatives from each region to meet twice a month to legislate on matters of common interests. Each region contributes 32% to a central government to oversee immigration matters, customs, national police, regional regulation, Supreme Court, army, national infrastructure, common examinations, currency and stock market.

That way, development is closer to the people. As it is now, I don't know my LG chairman, or state and federal representative. But Fulani herdsmen rioting is Buhari's fault, whereas the governor should be held responsible.

PS: Regional heads chosen by the people elect one of themselves or a neutral person as Chairman who oversees the country (and represent us in international meetings) with the regional heads as vice-chairmen overseeing the regions. Regions can have 1000 members in their regional assemblies, it is their business so long as they can pay them. We need a lean center. Nigeria is too big and heterogeneous to be centrally managed or policed.

this is what ojukwu saw 50 + years ago,and said that it's better for us to come slightly apart than come together and perish in the collision ,he believed this is the best way for the country to move ahead and he reached an agreement with gowon in aburi, Ghana that it shall be so,but unfortunately selfish civil servants and a Yoruba Patriot that was pacified with the finance ministry scuttled the idea,this is a big betrayal,a cowardly and selfish act,now generations ahead we are still going back to restructuring,that same idea that was born in aburi

Dethrone the stuupiid sanusi, he is corrupt, Gandoje we are behind you

this is a classic case of kettle calling pot black,how can a man caught red handed on camera stuffing dollars in his pockets claim to probe another, corruption or not,the problem with sanusi is that he is saying the bitter truth always ,about the true state of things in the north,issues the elites rather keep hidden under the carpet.

Yeah, that's true, even the US government is taking a different approach in combating Terrorism and Insurgency. They are now trying to gain d trust of locals and signing peace treaties and alliance with local tribal chiefs, other militia groups and d likes
War on Terror is one of the most difficult war to win cause u don't only have to save the pple 4rm their enemies but also from themselves

this new type of warfare hiding behind the facade of religion cannot be won by sheer force alone,it must be hearts and minds, building bridges between the locals as you rightly pointed out,but in the end it will always be a frustrating campaign for a commander because there's no front line,enemy camps,arms dump,or airfield to bomb,the enemy is the people and if the heat is much they will simply hid their rifles and melt away to their farms.

Hello Okoroemeka,
I must say well done. You are doing a great job.
I have a few questions. Did you ridge this particular land or plough it? it looks like you planted on the flat yet you said it's virgin land.

the land you are referring to is our own farm in the southeast not Southwest,the land has been disvirgined since time I'm memorial,we just levelled the old cassava mounds,set up the drip and dug holes for manure at intervals were the water is dropping, looking for a virgin land in the southeast is like looking for a virgin in the maternity ward,you can only see such things mostly in the west,north,Midwest and parts of cross river.

what you have to understand is that most Hi-Tech weaponry fails in unconventional guerilla type war like what boko haram is staging,what do you think defeated Russia in Afghanistan or America in Vietnam,the German gsg cannot just March into the Sahel and surpress an insungency that has defied 4-5 countries armed forces for years,and moreover I don't think criminals in Germany or America Rob banks with anti tank rocket propelled grenades that will destroy armored main battle tanks and helicopters.moreover fighting Boko Haram is a twisted type of new unconventional war because you are also fighting a religious ideology,do you want to know what will happen if a mostly christain GSG9 German police is send to those jihadist.

I heard this dude gat money but I am surprised what he wants in Anambra. Did we tell him are looking for candidate?. He should face his medical profession. They always claim they have made in life meanwhile the state treasury is what they are always after....

some of these guys may even be richer than the state,how much do a state get monthly allocation,what they finally want is power.

Oga, we don't need Soludo. Not even for a second. He should keep his economic prowess to himself.

Soludo is no match to Dr. Maduka in every ramification.

How much has Soludo done for Isuofia?

I doubt that there is any single person outside politics in Anambra who has committed so much of his personal fund to enhance his people, community and state as Dr. Godwin Maduka of Umuchukwu.

100% correct,Dr cosmas maduka has single handed transformed the life's of people living in his community in such a way that I highly doubt if dangote has ever done what this man has done,he practical built a new town for his people,from modern markets,high court,hospitals,church's of all denomination,schools,police station,hotels,built tarred roads,bore holes everywhere,standby caterpillars for quick repairs of interior roads,house for anyone that cares to apply for one, palace for traditional ruler,subsidized tipper trucks to many drivers in the town that cares to apply,infact this man built so many free houses for his people that it's beyond belief,a doctor with zero government loot or government connection doing such things with his private money,I am still yet to see that record broken by other Nigerian billionaires.

Deejay777:
GSG 9 of the German Federal Police, one of the best police tactical unit in the world

in as much I don't like the way the sars guys harrase innocent people but without them criminals will have a field day,I don't think the German gsg squad will encounter the type of violent Daredevil arm robbers in Nigeria that sars deals with on a daily basis,I have been in a bank in umunze, anambra state when robbers came,they were armed with ak47s,light machine guns,hand grenades and rocket propelled bazookas,they robbed 3 banks in 2 hrs,it was a harrowing experience,the Nigerian police despatched a team to face the robbers but they wisely stopped few kilometers to the bank when they have information that the robbers have 4 RPGs stationed at strategic points to blast anything coming, even sars knows when they are deafeated ,the German police will never see that type of robbery attack in their country,Nigerian criminals are simply too bloodthirsty, violent and armed to the teeth with heavy assualt weapons,

pls we don't need this type in Nigeria,what we need is just a working efficient railway system that will connect all major cities,carry goods and people,also reducing the percentage of trucks on the roads, even if it's steam locomotive that will solve it so be it.
