Kenya that is also importing it even with recent hike is selling a litre for N175 and so readily available as one can go to a filling station and just buy one litre!
dmz1: I do not know of anyone like that. I will have to rely on you to send it through any traveler to Nigeria as courier is too expensive. how will the money be sent?
Do you have anyone coming down to Nigeria from Kenya because paying for courier will be high as the cheapest courier is about $50 per kilo. Though l will be on the look out for who may be travelling down as one only has to pay $5 per kilo for the excess luggage.
I have an audio recording of a BBC radio documentary titled Forgetting Igbo. Igbo language is really sliding! l was born and raised in Lagos but l never lost my igbo identity because growing up my parents made sure it was part of our upbringing. We were free to communicate with our friends outside the house in English, Yoruba and pidgin but once you enter the house it is igbo! I think in Igbo.
dmz1: Oga pavore9 thank you so much, how much is that in Naira and please may you buy it for me and how do I remit the money to you. once again thank you and good day.
Black market rate determines the conversion. How many kilos are you looking at buying?
asuustrike2009: Why is India and China different inspite of their mulpilicity
Many languages that serves as official language of a Country has its own "pidgin version". Let us take us Swahili in Kenya as an example, Swahili is taught in schools but sheng which is the pidgin is not and people still flow with it.
asuustrike2009: We talking of mother tongue right, if everyone speaks their mother tongue how would they communicate among themselves?
That is why English language is taught in schools and pidgin is picked up easily in the course of interaction with others, speakers of it did not pick it up from the classroom!
asuustrike2009: What local language? Are you aware that we multi lingual?
Are you aware that many cannot communicate in their mother tongue? English language is taught in schools, Pidgin is the street version which people easily pick up. Why should effort be made for it to be taught in schools also not forgetting it has so many variants? I communicate fluently in English, Igbo, Yoruba, pidgin and Swahili. so speaking one's mother tongue is a preservation of identity.
I see no reason why it should be taught rather focus should be on our younger ones learning and speaking our local languages because many are heading to extinction.
VictorRomanov: Thank You my bro. It baffles me how some fellas reason. Even the politicians don't reason that way. That's why u see them defect at the slightest opportunity. The day Nigerian youths evolve from the mental blockade of partisan politics, that day they will positively have impact in their development and the development of the country at large.
They are comfortable wallowing in mental slavery and l feel no pity for them as they would by themselves realize that they have wasted their time being fanatic over a mirage! They are so much they could occupy their minds with that could positively impact on their lives and their communities but they rather focus it on hero-worshipping politicians.......it is really sad.
VictorRomanov: That's for u na. Speak for ya sef! Maybe u don't know that there they re people who consider all politicians and political parties to be of the same bunch and therefore can't perform entirely different from any previous administration.
Don't be narrow minded in your views about life!
You captured my thought. It is saddening that views have been compartmentalized into being either a wailer or a zombie forgetting the glaring truth that PDP and APC are the two sides of the same coin. How people are being fanatic still baffles me.
In my compound...we have quite some space with which grows plenty of the plant called aspilia africana. Dont know the local name but I had known this for over 20 years then when we kept rabbits.
So right in my backyard and within reach I have fresh greens for them 24/7. >
Bumped into the plant somewhere in Okigwe where a trado-medicine practitioner was using it for a herbal preparation. I think it is called orangila
BeMerciful: @Pavore, i search on goggle and read few things about this "helitec organisation". Nice organisation really, strickly organic.
Those guys are really doing well and their farm trainings are really well attended because they are very practical. They have an eye for high value crops. Visited their stand at a fair and they were selling a kilo of their organic flax seeds for $30 and so huge on value addition as they have yoghurt sweetened naturally with stevia, some flavoured with herbs....Helitech makes sense.
lanre2009: Really nice. In the video i attached below, the vertical sack farmer outlined a way she uses her bag for farming, she plants lettuces, spinach, etc on the sides of the bags, while she divides the top of the bag into four parts and plants crops like cabbages, carrots, onions etc
dmz1: oga pavore9 please how our where can I get these sacks? also may you get the seed of Rhodes grass that is used in grazing goat for me over there in Kenya?
Kenya seeds company sells the seeds but l do not know how much.
