They need no PICTUREs to learn or motivated. I saw none myself yet I was able to get started despite having no background at all.

To me, all they really need is HUNGER for selfReliance

Kukutente23:
You mean you are farming al those things alll by yourself despite having no prior knowledge.
I'm impressed with you. I just thought pictures will motivate people to see that it is possible especially doubting Thomases like me.

Me wey don plant

6 stands of Okra,

12 Yellow (Igbo) Pepper. Have plan to increase to 30 stands ,

4 Tatashe Pepper,

7 ugu plants (2nd attempt after previous attempt failed),

3 Bitter leaf plants,

4 Scent leaf plants,

13 stands of Pawpaw (Agric Variety)

52 stands of Plantain (Agric Variety)

3 stands of Banana (Local Variety)

About 9 or 10 stands of Yam (2nd attempt after previous attempt failed)

Have plans to buy half carton of isaBrown layer chicken (for egg production)
Have plans to buy and multiple local chickens (for meat production)
Have plans to rear CatFish (50pcs) + Tilapia Fish (50Pcs)
Have plans to plant other things, and include other animals gan sef.

The plan na to feed mySelf and family, then sell excess and with time, hopefully expand if need be.

Gradually, na only Maggi and PalmOil me go dey buy from market. The pupu from the Poultry and Goats and others would serve as Fertilizer for the crops.

Mind you, I be pure Omo Eko`. na 100% Lagos breed I be and early lat year was my very first time handling cutlass. Me no get Hoe but I get shovel.

Recently, me plant like 15 stands of Red Cassava (heard it can be eaten as Yam). Didn't plant the regular cassava because me never ready stress myself for processing.

All the above on approximately half plot of land. before you talk of space,
The plantain, I used spacing of 6ft x 6ft.
The yam I plant am where space no dey because I no say na climb e go later climb so no need wasting space.
The Pawpaw are planted on edges acting as secondary fence.

Me no sabi rely or wait on God or Government Oooo. The brain wey dey ma head no dey there for FANCY

pseudaria:
So what's your point? Everybody should become a farmer. Do u know how fucking third world your reasoning is? In USA only 1.3% of the pop are farmers, yet they have so much excess that America is tagged the most wasteful nation on earth. Industrialization is the way to go not all these third world shithole bullshit

bassdow:
Never asked anyOne to be anything. Me just talk ma own so those wey wan follow, go follow.

And just so you know, Me be Ajebo (100% Lagos born and raised), and I be graduate + into IT (hence not jobLess) + not as poor as a lot of those constantly crying and disturbing Government + God

I sacked NEPA / PHCN right from Jonathan regime. We need understand there's nothing as BAE as being selfReliant. I just talk make I share am, who knows, might inspire anyOne even if na just 1 person in every 1-million that reads it.

easytig:
Your idea is good,but the world have moved on from what you doing, everything is now industrialized for self sufficiency.
First world countries and even most developing countries all have commercial and industrial food production.
Maybe you should start refining crude to cater for personal use/or produce your own drugs for your health care.

There's the Variety whose leaf is somewhat RED. Ask any (Cassava) farmer and they would tell you. That Variety can be roasted or boiled.

Love800:
Thank you.
But i want to ask. What about the other varieties. Does it means dat if one eats it, he will be harmed?

bassdow:
well I am not a very Experienced farmer.

One thing I know is, Cassava contains high level of Cyanide which can be dangerous if not properly processed. BUT that Variety with red leaves is kinda different. Any REAL farmer would tell you same and getting the stem ain't hard at all as it's often planted together since it equally serves same purpose as the others.
