I hope they shoot them in the balls and disable their diicks before sending them to the world beyond!!

Now they have been caught, they would wish to live and not sent to meet their "72 virgins"

Any Politician in Nigeria in this time and age whose hands are clean should have no fear of being jailed

Only Nigerians on the streets can tell whether the economy is growing or not.

After being paraded, they would be killed.

Good development.

This thread is making miss Anambra state, had a nice time when l worked there, missing the nchi that was caught regularly in our various rice farms, the fat pigs l did see at the lfite-ogwari market who fed fat from farm produce dumped by farmers.

jethro2:
Anxiously expecting feedback. Thanks for this

Will surely keep everyone posted.

Hello everyone,

I'm a silent reader with growing interest in agriculture.

@pavore9

I would be looking forward to your updates, especially how to get those sacks
I'd like to try this out on a small scale at home before venturing out in to commercial production.

Thanks and great thread mercylicious

There is nothing special about the sacks, with what l have seen so far l think used rice bags would serve. Yes, it is what you can start with 10 sacks and if all goes well you will start harvesting after 3 months then you can expand.

Just spoke with the guy in the first video (growing strawberries in bags) and he explained to me that once it is grown, it is replaced after 3 years but the plants must be well maintained and the soil well treated.

He harvests twice a week from each of the bags, there are months when they would be not fruiting because the plants are 'resting'.

He happily invited me to come visit his strawberry farm, which is about a N100 bus fare and 20minutes ride from Central Nairobi.

Looking forward to eating FREE fresh strawberries . Though as person whey im parents raised well, l will buy at least a kilo from him at least for N500, to support his ministry though the guy is now a 'big boy' at least for the free tutorials l will be getting. So expect updates when l finally go there.

jasper7:
pictures of made in jos strawberry . And I was like Damn! I can do better.

Which variety is this?

He-goat! His corpse deserves to be arrested! l can imagine the embarrasment his family is going through, how can they tell anyone that they lost him through this manner?

Oga jasper7 wan enter exotic farm levels...your dreams are valid! All the crops u mentioned can survive in nigeria, forget the belief that it can only come from South Africa! We only need to take out time to acquire expertise in them, na fire dey go!

@manitoba, why not post the picture(s) here as we do not want this thread to derail with people dropping only their email addresses, we want a conversation going.

jethro2:
This is becoming interesting.

lt is Super story!

Soloxam:
Bros me self the think ooooo, meanwhile Murray Ford just register this evening, with all these commendation I fear ooooo...........

l also saw the registration date, l just tire!

Will be heading to the biogas demonstration centre in Nairobi, escorting a fellow Nigerian who lives here as he wants to gift his community back home with a lighted-up reading centre where kids can go and read, also do their homework till 9p.m.

@boscowjay, "murrayford" posting on your every thread is just not adding up, some threads have only just you "two" posting!

Downloaded a youtube video of it since 2 weeks ago, bought all that is needed for it but laziness has refused to ignore me!

@manitoba, Nigerians keep limiting themselves with the feeling that certain crops like strawberry, apple, plum, grape, butternut squash, broccoli, cauliflower etc can not be achieved in Nigeria but it certainly can!

9free:
Strawberry is cultivated in and around Jos Plateau. Am still researching on it. But if you have the market, I can purchase and send to you in bags.

1. Which variety is available?

2. How is it packaged?

3. What is your price per kilo?

'But if not, may coffin never depart from their fami­lies and the Almighty God, who is the husband of the wid­ows, should visit their wives.”

This is a very dangerous prayer!

mercylicious:
Dear all,
I am intrested in strawberry farming. The market is too much here and the fruit is also expensive.
On further enquiry, i was told they souce the fruit from south africa.
Has anyone successfully grown strawberry in Nigeria?

lf you can sacrifice some data bundle and download these two videos, watch them repeatedly you will wonder why we import strawberry!

Possible that strawberries can grow in a dry area such as the blazing hot, dry area like Sokoto, Kano etc not to talk of the south the weather is cooler.

henryobinna:
wow.

I don't know what's wrong with this people

The funny thing is l have never seen d guy, just relying on his good reputation, he does the phone to phone money transfer, l cash it anywhere.

henryobinna:
wait! you mean Kenyan paypal account can accept funds?

lt does & l sell my dollar to a guy here who pays me 88ksh (N198)per dollar, which he sends 2 my phone in minutes & l cash frm moneyshops around me.

lt is high time Paypal allow Nigerians to receive funds through their accounts. l receive mine through it as l opened it here in Kenya.

There is no crime in having an ambition!

@jeffmyson, u truly have a insider information on price distribution, it is left 4 farmers to utilize it. They should break into markets that provides higher returns, what should stop a tomato farmer in Oyo from taking his produce to the Niger Delta.

And some people are here encouraging others to go into "mini importation" when they should be envagilizing on exporting.

hian!

@stagger, l follow your drift, we are so into the "herd mentality sydrome".

jethro2:
Please can you assist with the purchase of some vegetable seed in Kenya?

l can help but sending things down to Nigeria is the issue, if u have anyone visiting Kenya soonest, do let me know, so we arrange.

l pray you get the right people.
