What is the standard and what is the substandard here?


You can actually use many different food items (breadfruit, sweet potato, corn, cassava, plantains, carrots, pawpaw etc) to bake different varieties of

bread either wholly or in different combinations.


The only reason why we assume that only wheat flour can be used to bake bread is because it was introduced to us by the white maen who baked their bread using wheat ,which were readily grown in their environment.


Similarly, we can brew beer from virtually all foods rich in starch but we restrict ourselves to only barley, hops, malts and sugar


Until we start massive decolonization of our food industry and other sectors of the economy, Nigeria will find it difficult to develop

Well spoken. Kudos.

This is how Millet looks like when you plant. See the attachment to this post. Cheers.

This Government is putting the cart before the horse. A company like JB won't come to Nigeria where it is not guaranteed steady and cheap electric power. Tinubu should fix the electric power crisis first before approaching great companies to invest in Nigeria.

I have opportunity to leave the country. I chose productivity in Nigeria instead. Next year, my dream farms would have expanded to 1,000 Acres. Nigeria is a goldmine for the discerning, hardworking and the research-minded individual

Well Spoken. Thanks.

I see now. Something must be feeding on the lizards. Everywhere will be full of lizards if not for snakes that feed on them. I see now.

Some Mafia groups will be looking at what is going on and thinking of billions of dollars that can be made from online betting on the Miss Universe winner. Hmn.

Land is not an issue here, I have access to any amount of acres of land I need, 5,10,20 or more...

But is there any government loan for agric business that I can have access to?


I have 80% of the knowledge cos, I'm a product of Agricultural science student


I will be glad if the moderators can help me push it to front page. Thank you in advance

Why don't you partner with others with the same vision on Nairaland? Look for people with similar ideas to yours and partner with them. Then you can share proceeds with them. What do you think about that ?

You can get someone to clear the land and then you pay for making mounds and provide seeds. Then you and your partner contribute money for weeding etc. You then share profits. Cheers.

May God have mercy on you these online farmers who do not have a plot of farm but turn themselves to agricultural consultants

Silence is the best answer for a. ..........

Fill in the rest for yourself

olawooro:
It is obvious you're ignorant of Nigerian varied vegetation and climatic condition. Very pathetic! Even, if you claim you were not offering Agric science and Geography in secondary school, at least you studied social studies.
Ask a junior secondary school students, he will explain to you.

The world is a different place now where impossible things in Agriculture are happening. I won't say more than that. Cheers.

Their is virtually nothing that grows in north that can’t grow here, in fact it can grow here more than there because we have enough rainfall.
But due to unexposure, education and westernization, people see farming here as work of the forgotten, poor, wretched, so that is why their is limit to what will do. And we are not exploring new stuffs. Omo, the time I planted watermelon in Oyo state and it was very big, many were shouting how is it possible, they said they think only north plant it.
Seriously, their are so many facts that we need to unlearn and relearn.

You have spoken well, Sir. One Aboki told me two days ago that Cassava is being cultivated in Katsina State through irrigation. I was shocked . These Northerners are very serious about farming. There are no limits to what can be cultivated anywhere. New seeds and cultivars are coming out every year. Plants can adapt to any environment after some years. People should watch more documentaries and read more online. We are yet to scratch the surface when it comes to Agriculture in Nigeria. Thanks.

Science subjects chemistry, Biology.. I can't imagine living alone or having a fiancee with that pay. I am currently in my Parents house and I am preparing to leave. That's the issue

There are secrets to teaching you need to know. Some private schools pay very well in Lagos. Look towards part time teaching and home lessons. Drop your CV with good schools in Lagos. Then negotiate for good money as a part time teacher. Weigh your options well. Cheers.

dboY1123:
Greetings all.
I amam currently working as a teacher in a school and my monthly salary after tax and school deduction is 47,700.. Tax is 1300 and school monthly deduction is 1000 (refundable when you want to quit).

The school is an average school, and S.S classes school fee is around 100k-160k.. I have walk some distance like 25 minute. Inside of me, I desire to start learning a skill like Digital marketing, and I don't want to stay long in this job with the current situation of Nigeria.

Do you advice I quit this job? I'm thinking of saving up some money first before leaving maybe next year., 50k job is useless as P in psychology because you can't even take good care of yourself or rent a good house, annual salary is 600k..

You can still be a teacher and make good money. With WAEC gradually becoming computer based ( from 2026 ), and cheating being reduced drastically in exams, good teachers will be highly needed. Try and get a part time job as a teacher . 50k for a full time Secondary school teacher is too low. You can get a part time teaching job for 50 k with negotiation in Lagos. Then you can augment it with home lessons. What subjects are you teaching, please? If it is Maths or English, you should leave the school and go freelance. Search for big schools in your area and drop your CV with them. Tell them you're available to teach part time. Then negotiate wisely with the principals for a good salary. Even for other subjects, push for good money.

You can also decide to combine farming with teaching. Cheers.

I am still available to teach in your school. Call or Whatsapp me on 07049598500. If you are looking for a good teacher. Call or Whatsapp me. Thanks.

CodeTemplarr:
Corn has improved varieties that can "hold belle n bodi". Can we say same for millet?
I have a leaning towards cropa that are free from modifications (non-GMO). Millet happens to be one but is tasteless and boring. Though good.

There are different varieties of Millets. Millets can be used to produce all kinds of snacks when mixed with other flours. Composite flour mixes. It is also very nutritious.

Why dont Nigerians farm and eat more Millet?

Please take the thread above to the front page. Let Nigerians discuss it. Thanks.

Lolzzzzz 🤣

I'm sure you no study or do agriculture at any time

said " did God create a crop to be specifically grown in an area" - too pedestrian

God that gave oyinbo wheat, and gave us cassava, some places abroad they only have banana and don't have plantain
Abi you think Apple is you see in nigeria is grown here

In crop production, weather, climate, soil type, precipitation etc play different role

Stay blessed too

Yes, weather, climate etc play a role in crop cultivation but modern Agriculture is innovative and the story is changing. Read more online and watch YOUTUBE videos. Stay Blessed.

Apple is grown in Nigeria now. Read about the Wambugu Apple. Go to Plateau State and see things for yourself there. And wheat is cultivated in Nigeria, though in very small metric tonnes. Do I have to study Agriculture to be a farmer? The foreign looking apples you buy in cities here in Nigeria are now being cultivated even in the southwest. What are you spewing?

Mango: was brought to Nigeria from South East Asia either from Bangladesh or India.

Cassava: was brought to Nigeria from Brazil.

Sugercane: Was brought to Nigeria from Brazil and South America.

Guava: from Peru and Mexico.

Coconut: From Madagascar.

Maize: Brought by the Portuguese missionaries from Central America and North America. And so on and so forth.

Guinea Corn and Millet are native to Nigeria and Africa. Why are we skeptical about our native plants?

lereinter:
Why don't you plant cocoa, plantain in northern nigeria too

Have you tried it there and it did not work? I believe some species of Cocoa will thrive in the North . Plantain might be difficult to plant in the North, but hey, why don't we give it a trial? Like I said earlier, Millet and Sorghum grows in Southern Nigeria. They are cultivated in some parts of Oyo State ( Oke Ogun area ).

Did God create a crop to be specifically grown in an area, region or part of the world? Just like immigrants to a new land, crops can adapt to a new environment over time. Most of our crops in Nigeria came from other continents. Stay Blessed.

Interesting.

TheBillyonaire:
I think it is because most of us grew up not knowing what millet is, except when we use for feed production. I have personally no knowledge of how a millet plant looks like.

I intend to buy more farmlands soon, I might consider growing it alongside corn for feed making. And if my stomach loves it, I could try it.

A millet plant looks like the Corn\Maize plant. It is just that the fruit/kernels of the Millet crop are on the top of the plant when it is time for harvesting.

I carried out an experiment with Guinea Corn in Ikorodu, Lagos. On my plot of land, I planted two species of Guinea Corn ( Sorghum ). This was in 2022/2023. The guinea corn germinated and grew . I saw it with my Koro Koro eyes . Guinea Corn ( Sorghum ) and Millet are very hardy crops which can grow on poor soils. They are in the same family with Maize, Oats, Barley etc. It is just that the awareness about Millet and Sorghum ( Guinea Corn ) is very low in Southern Nigeria and the nation generally.

Anyone that is saying Millet cannot thrive in Southern Nigeria is deceiving you. It is the same reason we left the commercial cultivation of beans to the Northerners , because we believe we can't cultivate it in the South. Has God placed any limits on where plants can grow?
