nlders can vex person eh

No mind the guy, he may not even know how a cabbage is grown but choose to rant on top my head!

Switzerland and other loot destinations are always aware of the source of the funds being given to them to stash but will be forming "best practices" when they are requested to refund the stolen money!

SuperBlack:
For them all YES!!

Oya head down to Edo State Police command headquarters to vouch for their innocence, providing irrefutable proof of their legitimate sources of livelihood. Just don't forget to inform your family where you are heading to!

SuperBlack:
These must be innocent boys. They don't look Rough at All.

Can you boldly vouch for any of them?

nony43:
Noted, but one thing I know is it is not always a good to start a business with a loan

Doing that is a high risk gamble and not advisable.

See specialization!

Typical Nigeria. All you do is to depend on others to produce for you to eat or embezzle, what stops you from learning how they (cabbage, tomatoes, lettuce and other veggies) are planted and help reduce the dependency on others.

You would have saved yourself from sounding ignorant if you had gone through my threads history!

With boiling hot water

Some home crashers deserve more that boiling hot water!

CindyeMerAld:
welcome me with hot water abi

Thank God you are already advising yourself!

CindyeMerAld:
e -money kuku gimme ur hauz address pls...,lemme just visit u only once and am ok

The wife will "eagerly welcome" you!

vanpeele:
Lol..we gas mention am.

Some already are achieving it. Like a NLander currently in Lagos who started with 1500 sacks he made twice his investment. Now he has 3500 and will scale to 8000. He's chilling right now.

The change begins with us not having to wait on the inconsistency of the government and creating our own empowerment. I will in a later day get the guy's contact from you so l can refer someone to visit his farm.

vanpeele:
You'll never know if you don't try. I can't give you all the answers. Show us how serious you're. You're a farmer not a journalist.

Bros, na so you con mention my name for the video of 1st Harvest!

if you can ship it down to Lagos, imagine what those which such free space in Lagos can achieve with it!

Kenyans really did heed to his plea and made this trip possible.

andresia:
Wow

The NAF seems to have more class than the NA.

If it were the army, the whole place will look like a coven.

God bless the NA and NAF

Coven? Haba!

May God bless them.

Na these ones "open eye" in those days!

Amachebry:

CC. Farmtech, your attention as a Pro in poultry is needed here.

Singing my belle o, my head o!

Proudlyngwa:
Thanks for this.
The will is the issue
Like I said if the incentive is low, Nigerians won't care.
Let them see one military man and they will behave
Nigeria needs massive reorientation, we need to know we are doing it for yourself, not anyone else.
I don't subscribe to rewards for what we should be doing. Though I subscribe for massive rewards for people doing more.

Nigerians only respect military force that was why during Buhari time in the 80's, Nigerians knew what it was to be on the queue or dispose waste properly.

When you are orientating a group for a change, acknowledging their psychology is very important. Many Nigerians do not sense beauty and calm in a clean environment. Nigerians needs to be engaged on the conservation around waste disposal, we should be asked what we gain from living and doing business in dirty environment. Our moments of mea culpa needs to be triggered.

Proudlyngwa:
My brother punishment will work.
If the incentive is low, Nigerians won't care.
I remember the good old days of being charged 500 naira if you are caught utinating in public places.
What our law enforcement agents need is body cameras that can't becput off by them, and being monitored by agencies they don't know.
Question is,is there a will

The will is the issue, l have seen severally where government at different levels have with fanfare launched several initiatives centred around cleaner environment with penalties for violations.......did they work?

I was involved in a community development project in East Africa where the project was centred around getting the locals to have the village market free from the heaps of waste accumulated from the market.

We got them to sort out their waste into bio-degradables and non degradables, the women takes turns in groups to bring the bio-degradables to the small biogas centre near the market which generate biogas that powers a generator which provide power to charge their power banks while they are busy selling their wares, then in the evenings when they are going home they come collect their charged power banks which they use to charge their phones at home, they also get to collect bio-slurry (organic fertilizer for their farms). They now relate their now clean village market to a charged phone.......this works faster and more sustainable that law enforcement agents.

Proudlyngwa:
Do we need incentives to do the right thing.
I would rather if there is punishment, peoples head will reset.

The reality is that punishment does not work, normally government enacts a law and within the first few weeks they forcefully enforce it but as time goes on they lose steam and we go back to square one......non compliance!

A more sustainable approach is to get people to properly arrange their trash for an incentive, the incentive is not coming from somewhere else but within the system.

Let me give you an example of a sustainable system. There is this recycling plant in a rough neighbourhood of Nairobi, one of their product lines manufactures irrigation pipes and Floor dividing strips (ebonite) from the used transparent cups that is used with water dispensers. The company manufactures these products within a space of 20ft by 30ft and 6 workers. Youths are regularly seen bringing in huge sacks filled with these used transparent cups which the company produces those products from and sell to farmers and building contractors. Now that value has been attached to that waste (used transparent cups) the less likely it will be seen littering around.

Eyah.

Keneking:
Igbo's are doing very well.

Amazing direction, the medical crew should also give her "Agbo Jedi" to sanitise her system of sugar etc.

Agbo Jedi!

If there is incentive across Nigeria regarding collection of used pure water satchet. pet bottles, empty cans of drinks etc our environment will be free of their indiscriminate disposal.

Bifwoli:
So i guess you've met her personally,right? If you meet her again ask her about the trip .Me and my wife we're planning a trip to Nairobi this coming Jan and going to see her farm is a must see.(btw ,my spouse is Igbo-American -her family is from Nkanu west ,Enugu)

Did you travel down to Enugu for the traditional wedding or you paid her bride price there in the U.S?

lanre2009:
I am wowed....I am currently working on getting the materials that i will use to replicate the sacks from India as i couldn't get the materials here in Lagos at a reasonable price....I will update you as soon as i have them....Once again thanks for inspiring me.....

Looking forward to your update.

Despite poor funding, they are making us proud.

Bifwoli:
Yup they're my relatives ,thats true from kangemi to Evansville,Indiana a trip she never ever envisioned its a wild dream trip for her.

The thing is poor folks here eat unheathy due to lack of supermarkets selling vegies and fruits in poor neighborhoods(especially black neighborhoods)The university saw this sack farming as healthy for such urban junk food addicts to get better nutrition.

In life, we don't know who is watching us doing our thing in our little corner!

Bifwoli:
Oh my God Pavore9 y'all made my day with this and i'm gonna shock you a bit regarding that video.I'm deadly serious ,not kidding .

1) Those folks in the video are my actual relatives i've been to that homestead.

2) That lady ,Mama Kamau,is tentatively due to visit University of Southern Indiana in USA at the invitation of their school of nutrition to teach them urban farming using bags.Funding for her trip is just awaiting approval by the department chairperson.

I'm gonna scan and actually post here some agri-magazine where she's on the cover that she sent to me here in Atlanta,Georgia.

Relatives?..........This world is really a small place!

From Kangemi to Indiana all because of vertical sack farming...........Her travelling to the U.S is a big up!

cc: lanre2009, that is the woman l got your sacks from!

mfm04622:
Let's not use bread as bread have grades. Let's use petrol. Petrol in Ghana is about GhC 3.5 and 1$ = GhC 4. So a litre of petrol in Ghana is about a dollar. While in Nigeria, petrol is N145 and about $0.35. So petrol is surely more expensive in Ghana. While I paid GhC 300 for a suite in Ghana (about 30k). I doubt you can get a suite in Lagos or Abuja for 30k

Buying Petrol in Kenya for about N360 per litre but ironically transport fare is cheaper in comparison to Nigeria!

We do a 60mins domestic flight for 4,050Ksh ($40)

Impressive, hoping to see cabbage, lettuce etc very soon!

Lemme pocket the money first. That way I've proof that they're actually lucrative.
