Farming is good, but should adults be forced to farm. Is that not tantamount to slavery or forced labour. Singapore has no farm, yet they have a better economy than Nigeria. People should do things on their volition. Government should come up with good ideas not telling people to farm. Even early men farmed when there was need for it.

There is nothing wrong with the State empowering her people with knowledge on how to go about certain productively. If as a civil servant l get to learn how to grow lettuce, capsicum, cabbage, cucumber etc which are brought in from outside the State, that 2 days off will be more meaningful as what l will earn from the sales of my harvest would outstrip my salary but since one has an option not to farm, he/she can opt to relax at home on those days off as that will not affect his or her salary at the end of the month.

I doubt it is on Youtube. The Kenyan guy who constructed it did invite me to go along with him where he was to construct one, so l could video record the construction but l never followed op because of my schedule.

So sad....the Police owes the family of the man financial compensation.

I hope no one will shout Islamic agenda when Muslims start their own evangelism

As long whoever is preaching irrespective of religion is not inciting hatred nor violence, all is well and good!

“As we talk, the food we consume in the state like rice, yam, tomatoes, pepper, and livestock all come from the north.
“If they (north) decide to cut the food chain, we will be in serious problem,“ the governor said.........It proves the State Ministry of Agriculture have been idle for the past 5 years, it is not as if the State do not have rice growing communities!

lol sure... Av a great day man

You too.

Lol sorry sir.... My mind is just waking up....

You need a steaming cup of pure cocoa powder to wake up your mind fully!

obstead200:
I am doing such experiment too. I think it also depends on when it is harvested. Those harvested at full maturity (when the flowers have fallen off) tend to last longer

When at full maturity, it is. I ask did it with butternut squash, bought it same day with the cucumber (23rd December 2015) and cooked it first week of July, 2016.

NameCheckers:
Dunno how to explain it 2 u....

What did l post that got your attention?

BobUg28:
It's a retail-base grocery stores. We sell most of our commodities in bits. So it's very hard to recall all what you have sold to some customers. And again, we usually have a massive influx of people.

Get a cash register and CCTV then you will feel a huge change in your operation. I do shop for Plantain, Okro and Scotch bonnet (Ata rodo) in an Indian owned store in Nairobi though the size of store is about 20ft by 20ft, it has CCTV installed and payment is made at the cash register as the Indian woman or her daughters are always behind it.

NameCheckers:
See ur mouth like produced in the North.

Quoting me or Okorocha?

"There is nothing that is cultivated or produced in the state. All the things we eat like tomato, pepper, cucumber, groundnut and others things are produced in the North. Think of a situation where the northerners decide to stop supplying us with these edibles, what happens?”

Not just tell them to go and farm as he has a responsibility to see that the State Ministry of Agriculture empower Imolites with the knowledge of how to productively grow these crops, make hybrid seeds easily available for people to buy then post handling and value addition.

lanre2009:
You mean it lasted for 3 months, that is so awesome.....

It did before l caved into the temptation of juicing it.


An under 20 degree room temperature extends its shelf life. Our farmers can have this constructed to store their cucumber for weeks while they wait for buyers. It only needs water poured into the PVC pipe so it soaks the jute bag wrapped round it in order to keep the inside cool.

It is cheaper to learn from others' bitter experience.

“Mostly, top government officials use their influence to buy from the CBN in the name of going abroad for official assignment,” he further alleged.......The rot still persists!

Nice one. I did an experiment on how long cucumber could last after harvest, so l bought one that was very fresh and no cut on it on the 23rd day of December 2015 then had it placed on the counter top of my kitchen with a room temperature of about 18 degrees.

I finally ate it on the 31st of March, 2016 and the taste was okay.

I suggest farmers to be careful when harvesting to avoid cuts on the cucumber, so one will not be forced to sell off and lower price.

Where is ikorodu? Izzit in this Lagos?

No, it is somewhere near Onitsha!

a, Tell them you wanna bet
b, Plug your phone
c, start selecting teams as slow as you can, make sure you play up to 70-90 matches, your bet slip would be longer than river Nile, after 30 minutes of brainstorming odds accumulation, tell them to print the slip then unplug your phone and put it in your pocket.
d, bring out your wallet and shout 'chai' while claiming not to have any money with you, the operator would vex and tear your ticket.
e, Walk home happily with your re-energised phone
(Please, don't try that stunt twice in one shop)

Nice one, Do go further by empowering your people on how to raise cows for meat and milk as it is not an exclusive of a particular tribe.

He is still on the road.

A "Pastor" consulting a native doctor for solution!

The word tourist made me laugh, as my friend said na im all the Nigerians said they were but the immigration no believe as dem no say Nigerians no dey do tourism na hustlers the Nigerians be, E say one of them whey be Pastor, load im luggage with native shirts to sell so as to cover im flight ticket!

ideology:

Bros how is Kenya? am looking forward to visiting an African country one of this days, in case, Nigeria collapses, i pick race, hahaha

If Zimbabwe neva collapse up till now, Nigeria get hope. Kenya is cool, is just that their Immigration just dey open serious eyes for Nigerians coming in! A friend came over last week just to spend 2 days in Nairobi and fly over to South Africa, on arrival at the Airport in Nairobi na im dem say all Nigerians to move to one side, over 30 of them and were threatened with deportation. Even at the Lagos Airport, the Airline said if u no hold $500 cash for hand, no boarding of the plane!

Truth be say some of us here dey spoil name for others, as yahoo yahoo na im sure pass for some!

Professional political hustlers!

Always crying in the movies!

hinohsend:
I was about to mention the same thing, I belive a city like Abuja can also host such International conferences thereby injecting lots of income/forex into our economy . But first, we had better start making Nigeria look attractive in the eyes of the world.

That is why it is so easy to walk into a bureau de change here in Kenya and buy Forex of your choice because it is readily available, as foreigners are bringing them in on a continuous basis.

Haben1:
Income way be say nah only TOP go dey feel am? does way dey ground no dey feel anything

The hotel workers, cab drivers that pick visitors to and fro the airport, art and craft sellers go see something inside the money.

The Kenyan government says they are projecting an income of $120m from this conference into their economy, with about 10,000 foreigners around for the conference just as they earned $60m from hosting UN Trade conference in July. We have so much to learn that hosting International conferences is a big source of income
