People are addicted to snapping pictures even in dire situations!

Nice read.

Hustlers and someone will come up and say do not judge them!

Most of our billionaires got undue concessions from various government in power and most of them are linked to the Oil and gas industry.

l do not want to believe that majority voted PMB just because of the N5,000 stipend but rather tired of nothing refreshing coming from PDP after 16 years of same story!

Following your progress........I just love the array of veggies you grow. many still have the stereotyped thinking that such can only do well around Plateau State. The South West is in a very strategic position to produce such veggies for the huge Lagos market and nearby states thereby cutting low on dependency of their haulage from the North.

Evil must be triumphed over,

Out of my very tight schedule.... This evening I transplanted my tomatoes into my make shift vertical sack.

Pavore promised to send a sample of the sack from Kenya..my tomatoes can't wait though.

Hian! you carry my case come here! . Just send me a reminder mail by Saturday so it will be available early next week!

The SURE-P funds is surely in some private accounts!

He has not insulted the British that coupled Nigeria together but it is okay to insult another Nigerian outside Igboland. l keep saying it that my igbo identity will never be validated by Nnamdi Kanu's ideologies because my formation is way above that!

As country hard, everyone is remembering who has taken their money!

Falsehood do not take one far but being a 'guest' of the Nigerian Police, u go know how far!

According to "The Sun", the airline's round-trip fare will be N149,000 ($677).
Not bad for a 6-hr flight.

The price is okay for the Nigerian market but still high in comparison to flying from Nairobi to London which takes 9hrs if is a direct flight via Kenya Airways but one can get a get a ticket for about $645 with Turkish Airline though a stop over at Istanbul. The Dubai route is so cheap, got a return ticket for N80,000 via Ethiopian Airline though has a stop over at Addis Ababa but total flight duration is 6hrs 10mins.

Hope it will force prices down!

Those egusi are unpeeled

peeled egusi are sold in mudu not in bag..see picture below how mudu look like..four cup of peak milk makeup of a mudu.

peeled egusi hand peeled go for #570

hand pealed go for #470 per mudu.

Do you have any idea where Egusi is processed into oil and how much a litre could go for?

Crazy minds!

Hopes it ends with a conviction and repayment!

You are right about the veggies....I also thought about them and it was a nice idea for me......but my only obstacle with the veggies is that it needs one's attention, and I am a student, schl in Imo state. The labourer that will be taking care of the farm might not have good knowledge about veggies....bt they do have good knowledge about plantain pdtion.... my mum was a plantain farmer and she stays close to the farm.

The only time my presence will be there is during the planting period, occasional visit to the farm(maybe 3 to 4 wks intervals) and the harvesting period.
But I must say that u are right.....and I don't think I will be able to sleep well tonight with ur point in my head.

Thought lettuce was for temperate(cold) weather

No lettuce is not for temperate regions, just like cabbage, cucumber, celery, parsley, aubergines etc it will do well across Nigeria. Just like with right knowledge one can even grow Strawberries right there in your village!

Bad market for some!

And we all also have a role to play in creating wealth and jobs in Nigeria, it starts with a right decision.

Nice input.

No more middlemen.

Pharaoh, fare thee well!

Hian, it seems everyone is lying in wait for the next man!

Russell145:
Its about 30-45 mins drive to Benin........most veggies are sold at the general market, Oba market for example...bt we still have vegetable market.....their supplies comes from the north.

That is your opportunity right there! With that size of land you have, you do not have comparative advantage over the North as regards cereals. Go into vegetable cultivation as the return on investment is higher and has shorter cycles. Lettuce as an example, is what one can get to harvest in 2 months. Since you are going to have irrigation facilities on site then you are sure of all year round cultivation. If you can get to understudy how to grow lettuce, cabbage, capsicum, parsley etc you will have every cause to smile as you will be supplying these to Benin reducing the dependency on them coming from the north.

Russell145:
Ok...thanks a lot. I am actually preparing to sink a borehole for irrigation purpose.

I just wanted to know if the rainy weather is gud for it........though I will be intercropping it with plantain b4 the suckers grow bigger leaves to cover the land.

The land is about 2hectares.

What is the driving distance between your place and Benin City? Where is veggies like lettuce being sold in Benin City being supplied from?

hotmas911:
Thanks Pavore9. We call it Agunmaniye here. (tall without sense)

But with its value, it makes real sense!

Looking good.

UnknownT:
is he not that former referee?

You know the man wella! There was a time he dragged the National Referee Association to court, was also banned by NFF some years back. That man is a real rabble-rouser!
