This initiative is quite impressive. Well done, Op.

Thank you for the kind comment.


Your comment is well appreciated.

obinnazy:
Should I drop my Whatsapp line? You don't mind sharing them to me on Whatsapp?

Go ahead

This is how my feet looks like following the stain from the very dark soil. It's still very shocking to me

cigwegbe:
Hi

Talk to me. You have my attention

seunowa:
God will help and support you in all your endeavors.

Amen. Thanks for the encouraging words and prayer

GreaterFuture:
In search of it.
If you have in Lagos and Can sell like 3 to 4 bags, please DM

Hello. I like to confirm if you finally got the vines ?

If you claim Mr. Obi ought to wait for the court before making any declarations, why did you not wait for courts pronouncements on the issue before embarking on a demolition process.

Also, how is Mr Obi wrong in the sense that every demolition must be proceeded with a court order which ought to have been presented to the property owner before the demolition exercise.


The actors could not provide any court order or demolition order nor knew their principal, yet you claim being right ? I am not an obidient and do not desire to be one, but atleast communicate truth please

It will be nice to push this thread to FP to motivate youths to come into the agricultural space

Can you imagine that i interrogated a security man that works around the farm this project is setup and i asked him how come such a good land is unused. He said for the past four years the land was unfarmed because people did not have interest in farming.


Please push this thread to the FrontPage let's encourage more and more youths to take up agriculture.


Also, this thread will help inform farmers the way to go about Farming maize in June

Imagine spraying herbicides into 07.30pm and leaving the farm past 8pm. I am extremely tired

WhiteAngels001:
This is the sign I needed, thanks boss

Do you mind sharing some of the benefits you experienced from relocating? And which side do you stay, perhaps, I can consider moving there.

Peace of mind

I literally blow bike within 30 minutes to my destinations without the hassles of holdups.and sweat

I experienced true growth and stability i always yearned for. My financial life and career is on a highly positive trajectory

My friend wants to travel and he's trying to get proof of fund. I have like $11,500 I can give to him but I'm not sure how to go about it without risk of not getting my money again when time comes. You know people can be funny. I don't relate much with bank people and I don't want to involve other people to avoid some thinking I have so much money to give away. I'm still struggling but we thank God for life. Please advise

Proof of funds does not mandate you give your friend the physical cash. Would a statement of account alone not prove adequate ? You can tell your friend it is business funds or life savings and that you can provide statement of account as POF, not necessarily give outrightly.

Go ahead. I made this move years ago and it's a journey you will not regret

Talk to me. I design, setup, manage and supervise farms

More random pictures. Embrace productivity today !

People used to be classy about hidin envy, not people can't help but display their crassyness. Imagine the flagrant display of envy. How did Napoli make Osihmen ?

For the spraying process, i normally use atleast 220 Litres per acre. For this current 3.5 Acres, I am making use of 750 litres of water with three farm labour. I estimate the job to be done and dusted within 4-6 hours timeline.

More random images from the land preparation to crop cultivation.

Protecting your farm investment is the next thing to do right after your farm setup. I hired labourers to fell tree and make fencing blocking any possible entry and exit points across the farm. I wished i could make videos of the boys panting hard as they were striking their cutlass against tree trunks. Omo, life is tough. .

Can you imagine the quantity of seeds in this 25 KG sack alone and the duration and work out into cultivating the seeds 2-3 per hole ? We started 10am, finished past six.

To cover an expansive weed profile, I am using Lagon, Forceup, Sunphosate and Atrazine. Combining so that the weed growth resistance would be strong and longer.

Optimization of productivity is a considerable factor as far as achieving food securty in Nigeria is involved. There are two tenets that are important in order to realize success in the enhancement of maize productivity.


In every case, it is important to use the appropriate type of seed. The climate change caused the right seed variety namely the drought resistance seeds.


Always follow the good Agronomic practices.

This research is aimed at verifying the potential of yield of Seedco SC719



The yield is also significant to the Maize population. It is because of this reason that the right quantity of seeds are to be planted rather than quality seeds.


My target is between 2.5 and 3 tons per acre. To achieve this objective, one must plant atleast 8.5 KG.


With a planter, planting precision can be achieved, however, in it's absence, if you are to cultivate manually, always have this calculation in mind :


One Acre = 4,000 sqm.


4,000/0.75 x Y = 21,333 plants. If you use a calculator or pen and paper, you would come to this spacing calibration :


0.75 x 0.50 = 2 Seeds per hole


I ensure the workers planted using two seeds per hole, sometimes, three seeds. This leaves the allowance of 5-15% mortality. In case 5-15 of the seeds fail to sprout, then the resultant effect would be that I will get 17,000 - 19,000 successfully growing plants per acre.


More Arithmethic :



When you have say 20,000 stands of maize in ur farm, and then one maize cob will weigh 350g when Agronomic practice is done well. Following shelling it can decrease to 250g.




Farming is a business that is extremely difficult to get into, but when you get into it right, then you will become UNSTOPPABLE



Agricultural projects should not wait, quit procrastinating and start now !

For this exercise because of the time of the season the project is taking off, I will be using Seedco SC719 seed variants because of its drought tolerance and ruggedity.

For the 3 Acres, I am cultivating, i got 30 KG seeds and ploughed 3.5 Acres of land so there is more land than the actual spacing the plants needs. This is my new strategy now, because of errors during planting, I always make sure to plough extra spacing to accommodate the right quantity of seeds for every project.


Note using the right quantity of seeds means pre-estimated crop yields won't be met. So, if you are going into maize cultivation, always strive to cultivate between 9-10 KG of seeds per acre.

An important thing to also consider during tractorization is untouched spots. Always make sure to look out for sections that are skipped to ensure the tractor operator reworks these sections, otherwise you loose money.

The journey begins with tractorization. The idea way to go about farming is to plough twice to ensure the terrain is fine, loose and completely free from weeds, but to save costs, we often times do just single ploughing like in this case. ..

This is how the farm site looked like before tractorization. Once the rental fee is paid, the journey begins. Farming inspires resilience, patience, grits, guts, hard work and patience. This is why every farm story should be told.

God is telling you to start raising boys, mentees in your craft. Train more than three because of possibility of dissapointment. Later station two in one, two in another and begin to open branches here and there

Do not doubt your intuition. Your gut is your first and most reliable guide in life. Call your daughter aside.

Taquin:
This one is for the babes who are starting to question their worth because of what they see online. I turn 30 next Sunday, so I believe I’m in a good place to write this, not from a place of fear, but from experience and sense.

Over the last few months, I’ve seen some wild comments from men on Nairaland. Things like “after 7”, “evening newspaper”, “depleted ovaries”… you name it. But let me tell you: that’s not on you. That’s on them.

If you're feeling down because of these words, pause and breathe. . These men; the ones who use these terms. I’ve studied them. Yes, I went through their old posts. The youngest among them is about 43. 😂 Imagine a 43-year-old man online calling women expired. God forbid my own future husband is wasting his time typing such rubbish on a forum.
One even replied me once saying I should "rest". This is someone struggling to pay N150k school fees for his 8-year-old child and rent somewhere in the bush in Ikorodu. 😭 Another one, sleeping in the office Monday to Friday because transport to Ajah will eat his entire salary. We already had our third degree by 23 but one man from Ogbomosho thinks he would be doing me a favour by marrying me. These same people shouting “in saner climes” but the only airport they have seen is from watching James Bond movies. 😭😭😭

And these are the same ones screaming "I can't marry a 25+ year old, they’re too old." At 40+? You’re not even ashamed. Ato ole.

Ladies, these are the ones calling you evening newspaper. Do you now see that it has nothing to do with you? If you’re here and you’re worried about these people, don’t be.
This message is not for the real men who respect women and are just struggling financially. My message for you is: it’ll be okay soon, amen.

Now for the rest of us baby girls 👸🏽:
There’s a flawed logic these same men like to push. This idea of "100 women to 1 man". It’s a lie. Statistically, there are more men than women in Nigeria and in the world. You can Google it. They just use that flawed stat to make women feel desperate.
Let me say this clearly girls:
If you are not earning your own money, you have no business dating.
Once you start making money, your standards go up naturally. That’s why you’ll see Regina Daniels with a Ned Nwoko, but you’ll never see Temi Otedola with Dangote. 😏
I saw a thread the other day. One Nairaland uncle asking for advice on dating an 18-year-old. By page 2, he had mentioned giving money to her mother.
So please, work. Even if it’s small. Take yourself on mini-vacations within Nigeria. Join clubs. Play sports. I play chess. In fact, there’s no antichess player in Africa better than me. Just recently, I came 3rd out of 2,500 players globally in the Antichess World Championship . 💅🏽
I’m also starting Pilates with my girls, and I’m going to take standard chess seriously again. I want to become Nigeria’s first grandmaster by age 37.
So please my girls:
1. Buy good skincare.
2. Learn how to do your makeup — Mac, Fenty, Lancôme… get at least one.
3. Look younger, stay fresh.
4. Don’t ever beg for transport fare to go on a date. 🙅🏽‍♀️


Don’t settle because some man with a “Akungba university 1984” ID is calling you names online. 😭
Look at Asa Asika. Look at Davido. Look at Toolz and Tunde. Real rich kids marry close in age because they’re not looking for desperation, they’re looking for a match.
Take your time. Don’t lower your crown. Someone will love you fully with money, respect, maturity, and peace of mind.
There’s someone for everyone. Just don’t rush because of what these agbado philosophers are saying on Nairaland . 😂
Remember:
When they say “You’re too old,” just remember, The only thing outdated is their mindset which expired after Jonathan’s first tenure. Stop explaining your standards to people who’ve never met them.
There’s a man for every woman and yours will see your worth without needing you to shrink or beg for it.
So to every woman reading this: You’re not behind.
Evening newspaper still has breaking news.
Bye baby girls

Why everytime Ogbomoso. What has Ogbomoso done to Nigerian youths ?

Have you first considered relocating to the rurals in Nigeria and then practice farming ?

Enoughpull:
she was throwing numbers like an illiterate. 75% lol that's 7 folks in every 10 or 75% of lagosians? Sounds like all those Cyprus and Ukraine trained doctors
