codemaniacs: stop believing that lie its a political lie... south does not depend on the north for food...
That sad truth is that is does depend on the region on most of what it consumes! Whenever a problem hits farms in the North it also affects the South also, the recent tomato crisis is a clear example.
Which Southern State is growing maize, sesame seeds, pigeon peas, bambara nuts, wheat, millet, sorghum, carrot, onions, pepper, soyabeans, yam, tomatoes etc in commercial quantity to sustain the State?
We are more into palm oil, cassava, cocoyam, leafy veggies and do most of what l listed above at a minimal scale. The issue of fruits is more spread across though North central produce heavily.
craziebone: fa fa faaa fao! Do you watch the NTA? The few times i tune into it, its always one or two programmes on Agriculture and culture that is always on show. So what are you talking about?
Lettuce, cucumber, carbage and carrots are not our problem! Yes, there are times of the year the prices go up, but that occures everywhere in the world where they have planting all year round.
I stated out those veggies because l know what it takes to get it down to the South east and it will boost the economy of my region if they can grow and distribute. Go to the Agric section and do a survey. asking how many of our young farmers there follow the well packaged Agro programming on NTA and how it has motivated them.
This picture will attest that GEJ acknowledged Kenya's capacity and was a major focus during his visit. At least fresh milk is one of the cheapest thing that can be bought in Kenya.
josite: hard lessons bring us to the point of truth,now pastor chris is now telling it the way it really is.the woman who cannot kneel down and hand over her full salary to you ,the husband with joy is not your wife.she is your partner.when a woman submits the money she sweats for to you,then submission in every other area of life comes easy.
This is GOD inspired message.because many marriages are on the verge of being destroyed right now.
if u cant submit your salary to him ,girls ,dont marry him.this is actually what broke pastor chris marriage,the wife said his idea of submission is too extreme.
"The woman who cannot kneel down and hand over her full salary to you ,the husband with joy is not your wife".....In this present time? Bros, you are not yet ready to get married!
If my younger sister tells me the guy she is dating, expects her to be handing over her salary to him when they get married all l will advise her is to end that relationship!
The North is not stopping anyone from farming anything though the North is far bigger than the South in terms of landmass,........What can be grown in the North that can not be grown in the South?
revolt: your mum became that powerful cos she submitted to her husband n he learnt to let her hve her way out of love. Now that love came from submission. If there was ever a supremacy battle,(which will surely arise in the beginning)she most likely backed down. This principle is wht feminists don't get. When she submits, 98% of men leave her in control of nearly eeryfin
There are things one do not make noise about and everyone has a role to play. The formation an individual has been exposed to influences how they work their relationships and no marriage is a straight line as there have been marriages where the wives have been very submissive to their husbands but never got the love in return rather their husbands exploited that to being insensitive to their spouse feelings.
What will be the perception of a girl child growing up in such family setting?
craziebone: oh, that's the best you can now come up with, that i should not use Agric to play with you? I was thinking you will come up with better arguement but no, all you said are what you can come up with.
The fact is, Nigeria is a net exporter of so many food crops. Like i said, you don't know this and that's because of our lazy media that chooses to focus of BH and ND militants. The media is our biggest problem in this country. If we have a poor citizens orientation, then it is the media's fault. They are the ones responsible for creating a dissolutioned you.
Nasco in Jos, does not import its raw materials particularly maize. The yams we consume in this country is completely home grown. I can say the same about many other food crops. The likes of you stay in Lagos, Abuja and the othe states in the south where the people are more interested in white colar jobs and you think you know the first thing about Nigeria's agriculture?
The cedis example i gave i absolutely on-point! People started hyping Ghana at the time because of the frustration in our politics and polity at the time of Yar adua's illness when we faced a constitutional crisis.
It is the same thing now that Buhari is failing to deliver. The point is: at the time of difficulty in regional powers, the people of that country do get carried away by the challenges of the day and begin to hype other countries above theirs. It is the same thing that happened in the '90s during the clinton administration. Some Americans started hyping Japan over their country.
Let us talk about Agriculture which is my forte. I am a moderator in the Agriculture section which l and many others clamoured Seun to create. Go through my threads, they are Agric based. I know the possibilities Agriculture offers.
I have worked on the field while l was in Nigeria and now am in Kenya. From knowledge l have acquired in the course of work l have regularly shared with follow Nigerians through Nairaland and today many are motivated into earning income from growing cucumbers in sacks within spaces hitherto nothing can be grown. To have someone in Lagos grow cucumbers on the decking of an uncompleted building spikes my joy!
I have interned with many Kenyan companies that export Avocados in 40ft containers, likewise firms that daily exports fruits and veggies through airlines. This is what Plateau State could replicate because they have the weather to do fruits and veggies and can utilize the Abuja airport to airlift their exports to major European cities as flight duration from Abuja is shorter by about 2hrs over Nairobi, Europe is heading towards winter, fresh fruits and veggies export from Kenya is going to increase.
Have gone on a working visit to this flower farm and realize there is levels and there are so many of them in Kenya. They earn over a billion dollar from flowers alone.
Even within Nigeria as l have posted in many threads that there is need for independent content providers to looking into Agriculture and produce content as there is no Kenyan TV station that do not weekly run at least 2 Agro based programmes such as Seeds of Gold, Smart Farm, Food Friday, shamba shape-up, Smart Harvest, Hela Mchangali, Breeding cash etc and there is a dedicated TV Station called Farmer TV and through me a lot of Nairalanders follow these programmes from Nigeria! I have assisted many send materials down to Nigeria to replicate what they have watched such as doing vertical sack farming so within a space of 30ft by 90ft one can do veggies that can attract N200K monthly.
It is in my future plan based on experienced gathered to work on delivery fresh cucumbers, lettuce, cabbage, courgettes, aubergine, green peas to city centres across the South east and be less dependent on these veggies coming from the North. Teach the rural folks how to organically grow them and post harvest preservation of the harvest for over a week without the loss of freshness and without the use of electricity!
Bros l don waka o!
Attached are pictures of how Kenya firms package Avocado for export.
revolt: what happens when your parents can't fend for themselves and you're capable of taking care of them Does that make you people partners? In family decisions wouldn't u consult them to make the final decision? That's submitting to authority irrespective of status. Truth is a submissive woman can make a man go against his mum. That's how powerful women are. Feminism is warped. Feminist end up lonely azz cougars
Your post l quoted tied the husband's authority to the fact he is paying the bills and the woman should reciprocate with submission, In the family unit, everyone has a role they ease into. I grew up knowing issues my father has a final decisions on and the ones my mother has the last word. Though my mum was a strongly opinionated person it did not distort the family's essence rather it strengthened it.
Couples have their unique ways of handling the issue of submission.
kenlinzo: Nice Teaching........Every young girl about to go into marriage or already in marriage to take these things he said very seriously. Every wise nd God fearing woman that knws what husband/marriage is all about will not disagree bt commend these statement. When u take ur husband as ur master then, u serve him nd the home very well. but, when u equate urself with him, there is bound to be trouble.
It is left for the man to look for that woman that will not disagree but commend those statement because people have different formation.
p1jiobi: Pastor Chris is right. When someone is responsible for your feeding clothing housing etc. That individual is your master period. Women who enjoy their marriage are playing to this rule
What if it is the woman's income that is taking care of the rent, school fees etc?
Ivuogo: Army carried out the arrest in conjunction with the navy, air force and secret agents of the Defence Intelligence Agency. - For one man...... nawaooooooooooo!!!!!!!!
What the U.S Government spent on getting Osama dead is more than our National budget!
This is impressive and a motivation to many that it is do-able outside the Stereotyped beliefs that it is only possible in the North....na mental laziness dey worry us! Growing it to target harvest during the time Onions will be expensive will make good business.
