guy stop talking from your anus if u a sound graduate u won't. Make dis derogatory statement all in the name of correcting them

Your anus must be asking for attention. If you are in school to learn, just study to show yourself approved. Face your book and save yourself the embarrassment when you graduate.

Kids everywhere!

My 16 days old cucumber plants. I'll like to know if it is growing well or needs fertilizer.

WHAT IS TODAYS DATE

Guy, even the phone you use for this comment has a calendar. Try Check am.

People will criticize him about the masquerade idea. But how about this one-chance buses and taxis? Everyone is now aware that bribery is the norm in Nigeria. A father will do runs(bribe) for his child to pass Waec. A student will sort(bribe) his/her lecturer to pass a course. An accused person will bribe the judge to rule the case in his favour. They even bribe the usher to let you see the Pastor despite the fact that you came to meet others. The Police??

I prefer injections by farrrrr. I can't stand the bitter taste of tablets. Injections are painful, yes but for me, the pain is bearable than the bitterness of drugs. injections all the way

Which one be drug and which one be injection?
A drug may come in the form of tablet, capsule, leaves or liquid which may either be injected with a syringe or as drip.

Please please please everywhere. What is it with past question that we all want to turn to beggars? Nawaoo!!!!

The 7 decisive factors in successful farming of cucumber. (Most of these rules apply to farming in general).

1. The most important factor is the SEED you are planting.
Is it a local or a foreign seed?
Is it an open or a closed seed?
Is it a hybrid or General seed?
These and more are the things you find out before ever purchasing seed for planting. Some seeds can produce 1tonne of cucumber per hectare each harvest, others can produce 500kg, 200kg, even as low as 50kg. And some can produce up to 2-3 tonnes. Under the same agricultural conditions. (A kG of cucumber sells for minimum of N150 in wholesale).
Another role the kind of seed can play is in deciding how long you can harvest. Some 3-5 times some 5-10times while a select few can go 15-20 times before they wither. (Other factors contribute to how long harvest lasts)

So, you can see that the type of seed used is a very very vital factor

Which variety of seed is the best?

DeLaRue:
It seems people make like N250,000 per acre after 4 months of hard toil and hand-in-mouth suspense not knowing whether disease will destroy the watermelon plants overnite. Agree with Op, for the effort and risk involved, the reward is somewhat low.

Probably not bad if you are a subsistence full time farmer and live in a village or small town and have modest aspirations. Or you want to do it part time, which appears to carry even more risk.


If you can put the same effort into one acre of tomato (assuming 4,000 plants per acre) and you achieve 3kg yield per plant, that should give you 12,000 kg of tomatoes. Now, if you can plan for your tomato plants to fruit between May and June when wholesale price is around N250 per kg, you should end up with about N3 million. Even if you reduce that by N1m, you still end up with N2 million. This is still almost 10 times better than you get with watermelon!

One thing about watermelon though is its ubiquituos presence in almost every street shops these days. Same cant be said about cucumber...at least in my state. Not many seem to buy cucumber in my state, as most of the ones I see look stale and unfresh, perhaps due to lack of sale.

Based on my own careful assessment...pound for pound, the most profitable vegetable to plant in Southern Nigeria is tomato, PROVIDED:


1. You can get a decent yield - our hot & humid weather is not as good for tomatoes as the weather in the far northern states

2. You make sure your tomato arrives between May & June. Anything outside of these 2 months, you could be in big trouble.

Please, when is the best month to plant tomatoes in SS? Does it need more sunlight or rain?

ALL OF THESE UNIVERSITIES WERE BUILT FROM
TITHES AND OFFERINGS OF THE COMMON
PEOPLE WHO CAN'T AFFORD TO SEND THEIR
CHILDREN THERE!
Where are the morals of the churches these
days?
These schools were built with the sweats of
their church members who kept sowing
seeds; special offering seeds, first fruit seed,
redemption seed, thanksgiving seed, harvest
seed, tithes, pastor's birthday seed, church
building seed, evangelism seed, father's day
seed, mother's day seed, children's day seed,
Pastor's cake seed, olive oil seed, etc.
These schools are now elite schools, only for
the rich politician's children. the gainers
then use the profits to buy private jets to fly
up high in luxury while their members sleep
hungry and the next Sunday, they will read
Malachi 3:6-12.
Do you really think this is right and fair?
if Jesus were to be on earth today will he
build a school and charge people school
fees as high as the ones mentioned above?
Am only just thinking aloud. No insult just
comment and be constructive.

How can I get the hybrid seeds in Akwa Ibom State and what is the price now?

I have come to gain a lot since joining Nairaland and I wish to ask for help from farmers in this forum.
I so much love watermelon and I have tried planting it on several occasions. The plant will grow well and bear fruits but it will begin to wither before the fruits mature. I want to know the right season to plant it, the cause of the withering, insecticides that may be used and any other useful information.

This typifies the relationship between Nigerian government and the Eastern region.

It is left for the Easterners to take their destiny by force before they are reduced to the Lion seen above.

I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their fellow Israelites, and I will put my words in his mouth. He will tell them everything I command him.

Which rat would u kill first? Please be sincere........ You have just come back from work to see 6 rats • The 1st rat was eating your highest academic certificate maybe a degree Certificate. • The 2nd rat was eating your ATM card. • The 3rd rat was eating your Marriage Certificate. • The 4th rat was eating your land and house ownership documents. • The 5th rat was eating your Visa to travel for a multi-Billion dollar project. • The 6th rat was eating your Bible. Which one would you kill first?

Pursue one rat, the rest go tear race.
