Op, what happened to you is called Liver Cuttage
As a guy, it is a phase one must pass through before being more confident.

Don't worry, nothing is wrong with you, you will outgrow it soon.

Next time: never cram, I repeat: never cram what you'll tell her.

Just approach her and start a convo...a meaningul one.
You can start with...I haven't seen you around here, do you live in the neighborhood?

hahahaha!! that term liver cuttage sounds like a serious medical term but to be frank such episodes happened to most men when growing up, stalking a girl for days or months, wearing special clothes , perfume like masquerade and having frozen tounge shows there's nothing wrong with you,just entering the breaking in phase,but to have more self confidence practice with the ugly or ordinary girls first and fvck them, before tackling the extraordinary beautiful ones,a faint heart cannot win a fair lady.

Don't mind this people wet dey cry Science Science upandan.

When we were small Science claimed there were only 9planet . That was what I read in my science books till Secondary school.

Bro. Ask them today how many planets we get its almost Hundred or even more.

The way they wake up each day to dicorver with, more planets, more suns and moons. That's the way they will wake up one day and discover that God exists.

Science na 30% percent guess work.
Once another person never get discovery that disprove one. That one stands till then.

Atheist, they are a group of people they suppose name ZOMBIE

Anyhow type of people.

don't you think the Bible has more guess work than science,a book that was complied over a period of hundreds of years after the actual incidents,in a period were there is almost no paper,pen,computer or recording devices,majority of the scriptures were written down from events and stories that happened many hundreds of years before and was told from word of mouth ,from generation to generation,such historical accounts will be distorted through the years and diluted by fantastical tales,legends and myths, another recent culprit is the Vatican that translated the Bible to Latin and refused the common man getting access to it in the middle ages,what did they do with it in the secret archives of the Vatican?did they tamper with the original script?did they edit it and showed us what we wanted to see?why did they remove some scripts they found offensive and stored it in the most secure vault in the world ,all this and more are questions that the answers will be hard to come by,but any reasonable human being will deduce that the Vatican scribes are the last editors of the Bible as we see it.

Why was creation based on earth?
There are over 100 billion galaxies with uncountable number of planets which support life
Or are you trying to say earth is the only planet that supports life?

the probability of another planet supporting life is very high in the universe considering the billions of galaxies and more billions of planets orbiting it,but what will be found elsewere will it be called life?many creatures living in most of those places may evolve to survive differently from us,they may not breath oxygen,they may have primitive body system or far more advanced lifeform and they may even have their own religion and in ignorance think their god is the only creator,if only man can find a way to navigate the universe we will be surprised what we will see,but sadly we cannot yet move at the speed of light and the nearest galaxies are hundreds of light years away.

what the heck is the man holding, looks like an extraterrestrial to me,it better that thing die now than survive in this living hell called Nigeria, wholesome people are finding it hard to survive talkless of that.

that is the problem with using cars that are not popular in Nigeria some parts will be a problem to get,I remember when we got an 07 Dodge ram pickup V8 and some months down one of the Tyres got problem and we tried to loose it and 3 wheel nuts refused,a panel beater was called and he used blow torch to remove them,I went to onitsha to get a replacement stud bolt for the 3 damaged ones lo and behold I cannot get the wheel bolt and nut in a whole onitsha,what if the problem is the engine or transmission I asked myself,we sold the truck off the next week without looking backwards.

Pavore9:
And one wonders how the core North is the ancestral home of poverty in Nigeria. The impact of their uncontrolled reproduction would hit them severely should Nigeria split.........landlocked with a mammoth population that is of very dismal human capital development.

my only fear that it is a possibility that a time may come when this almajiris will band together to form a powerful militia army that can invade the south,if you look at how this people breed ,a charismatic leader can easily rise a 1 million strong militia with arms and we are in trouble.

alphaNomega:
This man is a numbskull, along with all the others who keep predicting Nigeria would break up.

Igbos had their chance with Biafra and ruined it, as long as oil flows beneath our feet, Nigeria can never break!

we didn't have a chance when the whole Arab world + America and Britain is fighting against us,and mind you that Biafra has not been defeated,you can destroy an army or bomb the people to surrender but they will never give up on the truth and the mindset of what they believe, Restructuring is what ojukwu saw that will work in Nigeria on January 1967 at aburi,he addressed the delegates and in his speech he said that is better for us to come slightly apart and survive than to come together and perish in the collision, don't be deceived if a referendum is held in the southeast tomorrow 95% will vote to have a biafran nation,water and oil can never mix no matter how hard you try.

Hello bro...

How do i get such cheap deals?

I got the first Accord on nairaland from a private seller in enugu,the car was actually ₦280k,now I remembered,the 04 Acura also was from the garage of a rich dude that wants to clear away old cars,I also got an 03 jaguar stype for ₦300k but later resold that to a friend,there are people that may have pressing financial issue and will decide to sell their car at any price,my car rewire has a problem and wants to sell his 03 Accord for ₦200k for 1 month now no show

Simplyleo:
Really?

In the light of what her people keep posting on social media, is this still possible?

pls be plain and tell us what her people is saying that is not the truth,let us call a spade a spade

Adamma91:
we budgeted 800k for the project, though we do some of the works by ourselves so it won't be up to that amount.

be careful how you spend money on a new project like that so it will turn out to be an endless money pit,₦800k is too much for 1 acre of ugu,with half of that amount or less you will get 4000 metres of drip₦200k,clearing,manure,seeds, digging of holes or beds₦150k,sundry expenses and fertilizer ₦50k,ugu is not everyday watering like cucumbers.

opeyemix:
How do we avoid or manage damping damping off sir?

watering a nursery without control is what causes damping off,the top soil will be left to dry before watering again,not everyday watering at least every 2-3 days depending on water retention capacity of soil,we use a 1 ltr plastic Coke can open a nice sizeable hole that will push out water in jets that will not be too powerful,add fungicide (any fungicide works)and we use it to water the nursery every 2-3 days.

Degis:
Please what soil substrate did you use in the Nursery Seed tray?

How regularly do you wet the soil substrate?

Did you fertilize with any chemical fertilizers?

Did you apply any insecticide or fungicide at this stage?

Thank you in anticipation of your response

top soil and manure 50/50,no fertilizer,no fungicide,no insecticide and no natural flavors.

my2chains:
Please there is this pepper seedlings problem am just suffering badly from

why is it that every single time i water the seedlings some of it will just bend and die off just like that

i had almost 80% good germination rate from the current atarodo that i just even planted

but currently now am only left with barely 30% of them still standing

please whats the cause of all this because me am kind of confused here

but am sure tomatoes dont really have this kind of problem as like this pepper seedlings

why?

only damping off will reduce the population of pepper seedlings from 80% to 30% in no time.

codeQue:
@okoroemeka @ogbongenet my ogas, please which herbicides are selective to peppers??

no selective herbicide for vegetables yet,only available for rice,maize,cassava and other stubborn crops,don't even dream of spraying anything herbicide ,but I have see farmers use paraquat on garden egg and pepper farms in nsukka but this guys are professionals,very experienced expert sprayers.

SpecialAdviser:
I don't have any doubt about that. In fact no any reasonable person have such doubt.

Without the south, the north would have been worse than Somalia and Syria. You people can continue mass producing children that will vote u into office waiting for Niger delta oil. One day it will understand your mistake.

let them continue to depend on Niger Delta oil, when Europe is moving to ban petrol and Diesel vehicles by 2035-2040.

MONIKERREVEALER:
Biafrans!!! This is why we cannot afford to remain in zoogeria for one more second!!!

The population explosion of almajiris in the north (conservatively beginning at 20-25 millions) is, in a decade or two, going to provide an inexhaustible supply of jihadists/terrorists/extremists that will definitely be coming over to the south for conquest!!!

Stop being politically correct!!! Visit the north (by air and not by road before you get kidnapped) and see things for yourself!!!

Kids are eating out of trash cans and you can bet your last cent that these kids are going to be mad with the society once they bulk up!!!

Ka anyi jiri ehihie chuwa ewu ojii ndi be anyi ooh!!!!!!!!

very very correct,your words are prophetic,it's just a matter of time,the internet ,cheap data and Even cheaper China phones is showing these suppressed people what they are missing and they will try to get that by any means necessary,we will wake up one day and hear that a whole village has been kidnapped in the north.

I forsee the crash of many economies that depends on oil as their main income,in the next 100 years there will be no petrol, diesel cars or truck in America and Europe

noeloge82:
An overview of this farm size will be wonderful

yes it will be wonderful but most information are confidential and restricted not to jeopardize the security of the project but the total land mass allocated to cucumbers is 10 acres,we have planted half remaining half.

calixjabs:
nice one mr okoroemeka
sir where you able to reach the 500k from 1 poly from your last farm?

we nearly touched the magic figure but many other things distracted us,but we are planning to plant another site on Saturday to give it another shot before the rains will come,and we will combine cu 999 with a high yielding gynocieous variety like lion seed or Murano ,50/50 to increase yield

PROJECT GREEN SEAS, everything about this project is on a massive scale,even the nursery done for gap filling are more than twice many farms population,if we can squeeze in and plant the 2 hectares mega site before harvesting will begin on the first site,I have no doubt this will be one of the biggest staked cucumber farm in Nigeria.

Psalmy2cute:
Sir, is it possible for cucumber plant to self pollinate?? I just read below

yes,partho cucumbers will set fruit without pollination,it is the crop mostly planted in tight green houses that insects can't penetrate,so they use a variety that doesn't need insect pollination,but sadly the cos oft that variety is another story,I think more than ₦20k for 1000 seeds, imagine if we are using 50,000 seeds of that variety on the green seas project,the cost of seed alone mayl. cripple the project.

Adamma91:
nwanne weldone, I have following your thread for long now, I think this year will not pass me, I try this cucumber farm, just be ready for me because mma enye obere nsogbu. Jisike na olu

thank you,ada mazi,hope you will bring kola for the oracles

Jackzillionaire:
Please whats the best pesticides for flowering plants?

And i also want to know the best fertilizers to use for 6weeks old plants that are still very stunted?

I need help...

stunted growth is part of harmattan p oblems

I havet a blueprint in my head that can work for Keke,a good steering rack from a minibus shortened for keke,good frame,bow joints,hubs,tierods will put 2 tyres in front of a Keke,give or take I know ₦150k can do such experiment in ladipo or mbguka obosi and it will work

LoFarms:
I hail ooo this project is massive but from my sad experience of weeds how do you intend to control that?

well that's another advantage of drip irrigation I love,it will only supply water on the crop stem and the actual radius of irrigated area may not surpass 6 inches,so all surrounding area are starved with water and weeds don't grow,if you look at that pic you will understand,also during rainy season we will make effective use of post and pre emergence herbicide on any site 2 weeks before planting, Even if weeds will come it will be towards the end of the production cycle,nobody is interested in weeding 2-4 hectares of land , even with power weeder,no time for such work.

TangoAlpha:
Okoroemeka
The excitement in your tone is palpable. The scale is huge. You have come a long way.

How many days apart were the two sections planted. I am assuming the crop in question is cucumber.

Have you given some thought to how to manage the scheduling of the harvests to avoid taking too many bags to market at any one time; especially in periods of glut?

Does this farm rely more on in house workers for the land prep, irrigation setup, planting, stake and trellis installation, daily management and the planned harvest? Or is it a blend of casual worker and in house workers?

I have some experience with high volume cucumber production. We can compare notes offline if you do not mind.

Cheers!

what we need is constant massive production we will not depend on one market alone,mile 12,Coke onitsha,warri,PH,bayelsa,ogbete enugu,Benin are all huge market if you have the means,all workers are farm employees properly housed in side the farm quaters and they are handling all aspect of the farm management except drip irrigation installtion.

Silvereze:
1. There three farmers that complained of the same problem. They grew only Murano

2. I didn't get the concept of growing Murano with a pollenizer from Pistotita.. I was making some research because of the problem.. When my thoughts were confirmed by another farmer.

3. Leaning on my studies on genetics in the higher institution, I don't agree that cross-pollination distorts the original phenotypic characters of a fruit .

I know characters of the crossbreeding will only show in the offsprings which are the seed.
And we are not planning to recycle those seeds.

4..The Murano cucumbers were not light green. I started noticing some light green Murano cucumbers towards the end of production. The cause of this was that I didn't fertilize after sometime and soil nutrients were depleted.

5. The Murano I grew with Cu999 in my cureent project has started flowering seriously. I've checked all the rows but didn't see any male Murano flowers. The male flowers may come out later may be in one or two plants. I'm just imagining what would have happened if there is no pollenizer for pollinators to work with.

6. I still have some Murano seeds. I'll do a pilot project following all procedures in Pistotita's post to see the results.

Gracias

Murano 2 f1 is most guilty of producing 98% female flower to 2% male flower,and I think weather plays a very critical role in determining the percentage of both,we have planted Murano 2f1 during the cool rainy season with almost catastrophic results,no single male flower for 2 weeks and the whole fruits we supposed to harvest for 3 times just dried up,it's later that males started coming out and fruits started setting,but we did another Murano 2f1 farm during hot dry season and nothing like that happened,male flowers were sufficient,,many farmers will not notice this phenomenon because the farm is always close to another farm and bees will carry pollen from other farms to pollinate,if they plant in an area with no cucumber farm around that's when the problem manifest especially during rainy season.
