I am also 48 and I am alive. I want to thank God for his protection and love through the years. If the devil has his way, I would have died years ago. Praise the LORD.

Can scorpion sting kill someone?

A scorpion's sting can kill someone if the person who is stung does not take medication. Cheers.

It is the smaller scorpion species that have the most painful stings and deadliest venoms. Small scorpions are deadlier. Cheers.

The North has an advantage over the South when it comes to drying the Zobo leaves. There is a lot of sunshine all year round in the North. Zobo growers in the south do not have that luxury due to longer seasons of rainfall. So anyone who cultivates Zobo in the south need to buy food dehydrators to help out in drying the Zobo calyxes . Cheers.

Keep it up, bro. Greater doors of patronage will open for you in 2026. Amen.

Tree crop. Best

Yes, tree crops. If you can be patient, you should try and cultivate Cocoa, Citrus ( Oranges and Tangerine ) or go into Plantain and Banana cultivation. You can also intercrop them.

2Minuteswoman:
Yes, you’re right. I heard they came from Cotonou,and most likely won’t even stay up to a year. After a year, I’ll probably start looking for another labourer. It doesn’t really make sense though.

If I may ask, Madam, what is your profession? Do you have a job besides farming ? Can't you manage your farm by yourself? Is your farm far from where you live? 9 acres is not a small piece of land o. Some of us are still trying to buy 1 acre of farm land . God help us. Amen.

Hibiscus farming, popularly known as zobo production, has become one of the most promising agribusiness opportunities in Nigeria. While the crop can grow in different parts of the country, Northern Nigeria clearly stands out as the most suitable region for large-scale and profitable hibiscus farming.

Below are the main reasons why the North is ideal for hibiscus cultivation:

1. Favorable Climate

Hibiscus grows best in warm temperatures and moderate rainfall, conditions that naturally exist in most Northern states. The long dry season also helps during harvesting and drying, reducing losses caused by moisture and mold.

2. Suitable Soil Types

Most parts of Northern Nigeria have well-drained sandy loam soil, which hibiscus prefers. The crop does not do well in waterlogged areas, making the North’s soil structure a big advantage.

3. Large and Affordable Farmland

One major advantage of farming in the North is the availability of vast farmland. Land is generally cheaper and easier to access compared to many southern regions, making commercial hibiscus farming more feasible.

4. Lower Cost of Production

Cost of labor, land preparation, and general farm operations is relatively lower in Northern Nigeria. This significantly improves profit margins for farmers, especially those operating on a large scale.

5. Long History of Hibiscus Farming

Hibiscus has been cultivated in Northern Nigeria for many years. Local farmers already understand:

The right planting periods

Weed and pest control methods

Proper harvesting and drying techniques

This experience reduces mistakes and increases yield quality.

Conclusion

With its favorable climate, suitable soil, affordable farmland, lower production costs, and long-standing farming experience, Northern Nigeria remains the best region for hibiscus (zobo) farming. Anyone looking to venture into agribusiness will find hibiscus production in the North a practical and rewarding option.

My backyard and compound cultivation of Zobo has shown that there are different species of the crop/plant. I am learning a lot about Hibiscus ( Zobo ) farming with my own test run at home. I have even made Zobo drinks from Zobo I planted on my land in Ikorodu, Lagos. It is possible to cultivate Zobo in your compound for you and your family alone . Getting the Zobo seeds is another matter though. It is not easy procuring Zobo seeds that are prolific and healthy. Cheers.

Hibiscus ( Zobo ) can grow in Southern Nigeria. I have planted and harvested Zobo in my compound in Ikorodu, Lagos State. Yes, Zobo is grown mainly in Northern Nigeria and the climate in Northern Nigeria is favourable. However, Zobo can be cultivated in Southern Nigeria too. It can grow on a variety of soils depending on the Zobo species. I still have Zobo seedlings I intend to transplant soon on my land. Cheers.

Akor Adams will continue to improve and score great goals for Nigeria. At least we have a dependable second striker now. Tolu Arokodare could not hold down the second striker role after Chelle gave him the opportunities he was looking for. We have Akor and I am happy.

Where can I buy a Honey Badger in Nigeria ? Please let me know. Can anyone smuggle it into Nigeria? Or can I buy a domesticated mongoose in Nigeria? Cheers.

This is the million dollar question. Can the ADC present popular, respected and highly qualified Governorship candidates in all 36 States in 2027? ADC needs to gather lots of elite politicians and huge spenders to challenge the ruling party-APC- in 2027. Cheers.

Make sure you plant something this year. Plant something in your backyard. Plant fruits, vegetables and Plantain. Plantain grows on all kinds of soil . Enough dodo for you and your family. Plant o .

We need more bombing of terrorist strong holds all over the North. More missiles, POTUS.

Stop barking, Governor Abiodun. Listen to your people .

The figures for the North are even impressive . I thought they are way lower than that . We just need better leadership in Nigeria.

He was not deported for returning a lost wallet but for staying in the country illegally. With his situation, he ought to have avoided anything that will bring him to, or bring the law to him.

So long as he doesn't allow the present development to weigh him down, he will be fine last, last. God may just have opened a new chapter of testimony in his life.
Stay strong and focused.

God has a plan for the Man. He should not be sad. He should find something to do in Nigeria and God will bless him.

You are the one that decides your destiny ultimately, whether in Nigeria or in Europe.

Noted.

I heard and read that last year's Eyo Festival turned into a shoot out and people ran for covet. Hmn. That is very bad.

They must not sub Osimhen. And they should check VAR to see if that ball crossed the line for our first goal.

What if the sweet Nigerian lady that approaches him has a Canadian or American Passport ? Or if the lady is black but has a German or Australian Passport?

OP is earning so much than many Nigerians who work as teachers, factory workers , guards and even some office jobs. I need to increase my earnings this year on a monthly basis.

Noooo. Osimhen should not be allowed to leave Camp . Everyone should be called to a meeting and the issue quashed. We will be playing a stronger opponent in the next game and onwards if we progress. We have a tournament to win.

Wike will get his comeuppance.

Please we need verydarkman at Gbaja boys and clegg girls school complex at modupe Johnson Street,off adeniran ogunsanya... there are some unscrupulous elements building private residential structure inside the school premises with government backings, we the concerned fellows fear for the future of the female student.. because we don't know who this people are , they should not become a threat to this student.. female student could be endangered to rape ,rituals and so on. Thanks

Dude, what is happening in that area of Surulere? You need to involve Fisayo Soyombo and Sowore on the matter too. Plus VDM on the matter, the problem at the school will be sorted out quickly. Cheers.

I like him. If we had more influencers with guts and powerful voices like him, our society will be a better place to live in. Cheers.

[quote author=Riskymarvelous post=137993792]Imagine abandoning party that give you chance to become governor and moving to a party that don't achieve anything for the past 10yrs except corruption and hardships insecurity that's lack of integrity and common sense [/quot

It is very sad development 😭😭😭😭😭.

I agree with Mr Utomi. Our parents generation failed us as leaders. Cheers. Let's give a young leader a chance to occupy Aso Rock.

Very sad development for Nigeria and Nigerians. We are gradually turning to a one party State. I believe APC will lose lots of states in 2027 if the ADC contests for gubernatorial offices in 2027. Cheers.

I like MFM church though.

Personally, I don't want Peter Obi to contest for President in Nigeria again. Our leaders in all the parties do not value this man. Obi is a good man and I believe he should continue performing his good deeds. Any government that values him should make him the Minister of the Economy. Or Minister of Agriculture, Trade and Industry. Cheers.
