I have observed some farmers(both animal and plant) on the internet especially in developed countries assert that they are organic farmers. I see this as a marketing strategy cos of the way they display the advert. What exactly is organic farming? what are the practices? what are the challenges? Can an organic farmer compete with a non organic in the market?
I know one organic farming practise for crops- Using animal manure as fertilizer. Experienced farmers, can u compare the output from both?
Please lets contribute.

Hello Madam Mercy, Please I would like to ask questions about this plantain farming. I sent you a mail request already. Thank you

Two weeks ago, a guy who was pitching his company's services said that the 24ft by 72ft greenhouse they build produces 1650kg of capsicum monthly & they will also facilitate exporting the produce as it attracts good price in d international market.

But do you think a greenhouse is necessary considering Nigeria's generally hot weather?

I am interested in this project but I am from the south west. Do you think that will be problem?

okine4real:

Your 6 hectares would take only a maximum of 900 palms... if you know you really want to make good money, then start with 300 hactares.
just my take...
Am back........

300 hectares or 30 hectares?

This is truely the grand papa of all bears that we have been waiting for. Chei!

How does one produce high quality tomatoes.

What are your charges for managing 1 hectare plantation. What yield can one expect to have?

A point of correction for so-called "educated" folks here who keep saying Buhari is an Illiterate.

An Illiterate is not someone who did not attend school, even though Buhari actually attended a military college. An illiterate is someone who can niether read nor write. Clearly Buhari can read and write. He even speaks better English than most of you here judging from the comments I have read so far.

jethro2:

Most are contented with where they are. While some are looking for sharp sharp money. We also have those that are waiting for the non existing government to send assistance. They keep forgetting that God help those who help themselves

Thanks Jethro for sharing your experience.

I know you mentioned that the min. Yield is 20 tonnes/ha but I would like to know what your own yield was?

What was the cost of growing the tomato from Planting to Harvesting? can u give a brief breakdown

What is the duration of growth?

Can direct me to any online resource to read more about tomato cultivation

Thank you so much

i read all.our posts from jan.2014 till dec 2014 and i was just smiling.
this thread is nt just informative but entertaining.

Great job Madam Mercy. How did we fare? To what extent have sentiments and opinions of early 2014 matched the realities of the year's end?

Chibuking preparing for Armageddon. Nice forward thinking

To me, while his response is not exactly on point, it is not really far off the mark as some mischief makers make it to be. You have to realise that today, a major reason no one wants to invest in Nigeria, has to do with security. In the North as well as in the South south. Many Oil companies can't expand their investments because of vandalisation while some are selling off their assets as we speak. Entire towns in Northeast are gradually being reduced to ghost towns. People are afraid and can't do business. This impacts the economy negatively.

So it makes sense that in our current situation, we can improve economic well being by simply guaranteeing the security of lives and investments with the armed forces. If the safety of people and property can be assured, Foreign direct investments will increase and the economy will be better for it. The armed forces will be crucial to achieving this.

If you re-read the statement with a little more thought, you will see that this is what Buhari had in mind.

Chimamanda keeps outdoing herself... I so much respect this woman

A Federal High Court in Makurdi on Friday lifted a government ban on the use of HIV vaccines produced by a Nigerian doctor, Jeremiah Abalaka.
The court, presided over by Justice Binta Nyako, also restrained the Federal Government and the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, from further interfering with the use of the vaccines.
Mr. Abalaka, an Abuja-based medical practitioner, had challenged NAFDAC for banning him from using the vaccines he discovered in 1999 for the treatment and prevention of the deal Human Immuno Deficiency Virus, HIV.

The therapy, which generated controversy for years in Nigeria, was banned by the Obasanjo administration.
Joined in the suit were the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Attorney General of the Federation.
Testifying before the court, Mr. Abalaka, who also called three witnesses, said he discovered a recipe to turn the virus in the infected blood of HIV infected person into both preventive and curative vaccines.

He said he applied for the patent of the discovery and was granted on July 22, 1999.
“I wrote to health institutions and authorities in Nigeria to draw their attention to the discovery to collaborate with me to test and confirm the breakthrough,” the doctor said. “This was in order to bring succour to sufferers of HIV but the letters were ignored.’’
Mr. Abalaka said the National Institute for Pharmaceutical Research and Development, NIPRD, took him up on the discovery and confirmed the potency of the drugs.

“This was done through a report on Feb 28, 2000, but the Federal Government discontinued further collaboration with me and the institute,” he told the court.
He disclosed that various agencies of federal government, including its hospitals, had purchased the vaccines from him and applied them on their own patients who had HIV and many were cured.
“When the FG discovered that the vaccines were potent, it sent agents to me with the sum of N10million for the breakthrough to be announced in Atlanta Georgia, USA, but I refused,” Mr. Abalaka said.

Mr. Abalaka said his vaccines were then banned from being used for the treatment of HIV epidemic in Nigeria by NAFDAC.
His counsel, Mr. Paul Omale, had urged the court to determine whether the defendants had justified their banning the vaccines and “sentence about 3.5 million Nigerians to death’’ while there was effective and safe vaccines to cure them.

Mr. Omale further urged the court to determine whether the defendants had shown any harmful side effect of the vaccines.
Counsel to the defendants, Uche Ezekwesili, however, abandoned their plea as he could not call witnesses to justify the ban.
Delivering the landmark judgment, Justice Nyako said since there was no cure yet for HIV, it was only fair for the defendants to have allowed the plaintiff to use the vaccines on infected persons with their consent.

samflexxy:
huh wait is there any thing wrong in watching porn the op clearly stated porn and not self-service. But some women can be senseless @times

But both of them usually go together most times

Recently I met a lady who despite her difficulty finding a suitable spouse, left a prospective fiance when she discovered he was watching indecency. I have also heard about a few marriages where indecency-watching by the husband is threatening to destroy the marriage. The only thing keeping the marriage is the fact they have kids and the husbands seems to be well to do.

And this really got me thinking, in a world where the average man/boyfriend probably watches or has watched one form of indecency or the other, are there ladies to whom this issue is no problem?

Ladies, will you still marry your boyfriend if you found out he is watching indecency?

Please share your comments
