Thank you very much. Instead of the people to be sober, they are jumping up and down. What you should be asking yourself is what is the carrying capacity of those universities versus the number of applicants?

In 1981, we had one federal university in lagos state, one in kaduna state and one in sokoto state

Today, with a population of over 20 million lagos state still has one federal university and the other one still barely commencing academic programs and some people a knocking their heads on the wall that they approved another university for lagos state

Now juxtapose this with old kaduna state now kaduna and katsina

1. ABU
2. NDA
3. Air force
4. University of education
5. University of Kachia
6. University of medical sciences katsina
7. Transport university
8. Federal university katsina

Now look at sokoto state

1. Usmandan fodio University
2. Federal university birini kebbi
3. Federal University Gusau
4 University of agriculture zuru
5. University of heaith sciences Tsafe

You will collect cit from lagos, fiam it goes, you will collect vat from lagos fiam it goes, you will collect customs duty from lagos fiam it goes

You will now leave their children to be fighting for admission coming out with bloodied nose most times yet no admission whereas people in kaduna state are strolling into the universities as if they are walking in the park

Cut off for medicine in most sw universities is about 280 while in kaduna state you are good to go with 240. Nursing is about 270 in sw and like 210 in the federal university in the north. Parents are now forced to have a recourse to an exorbitant fee paying private and state university

So why are my people rejoicing?

AustineE1:
I wonder why the noise about LASU or UniLag being the most sort after when the population of Lagos is 3 or 4 larger times larger than an average state in Nigeria. The only other state to compete with Lagos, could have been Kano state but because the north has not fully embraced education,Lagos certainly is in a world of his own in terms of population.

This was exactly what the young teacher explained to me many, many years ago. It is still the same thing till today. Their leadership are deceitful and that is exactly the difference between their leadership and Chief Obafemi Awolowo. In order to keep their people in perpetual subjugation, they will be using reverse psychology, selling them a decoy that pilgrimage and their set of beliefs is more important than western education that will liberate their minds.

They said they are giving out loan, it is a euphemism for grant. A loan without collateral, no guarantees, so how will you recover the loan?

They so designed it such that the people will in turn continue to “worship” them and they will continue to ride on that crest to keep their people in perpetual subjugation. Most of their political leaders, political power is their oxygen. They have no life outside the politics. You left political power barely four years ago you are still dragging it with the other part of the place giving all sort of what appears like a nonsensical justifications. The other one, the former minister for nin was denied a slot, he busted into tears, the next one came back from petroleum prison, he is fighting for house of representative ticket.

They will be forming alela alela to intimidate the other part and then the other part self-serving, greedy, visionless, and arrogant politicians will go cap in hands begging to build bridge across the river so that they can dwell inside the rock that will be of absolute no benefit to their citizens

What we need is to go back to the 1963 constitution. That is the only workable solution.

1nigeriamyfoot:
It's better to go to hajj than educate almajiri

Many, many years ago, I went for my national service at the then Borno State. Rtd Col Abdulmumini was the state governor then and we had our orientation at the College of Education, Maiduguri.

The first cultural shock I had was seeing not too tidy looking children carrying small plastic bowls all around the street. When I got to the camp, they became particularly noticeable. What made a profound statement to me at the time was when we were eating at the cafeteria and someone close to me stood up to pick something from the corpers serving food and before he came back the children had already swarm on the food. He had to give up even though still hungry. I then became curious.

The place of my primary assignment was at potiskum in a secondary school adjacent their general hospital. I then ask one young teacher to please explain the whole concept to me. His explanations did not totally make a meaning to me at the time but one thing I got was his explanation that that their leadership in an attempt to perpetually subjugate the poor will continue to encourage the practise by propagating the false narrative that western education is not particularly the best that even their children that had their degrees are still looking for employment.

This looks like an aberration to me. Adams Smith the father of classical economics once postulates that it is in the interest of the baker that he bakes best quality bread and not necessarily the interest of the consumer otherwise competition will edge him out of the market. The same sentiments was alluded to by Bismark. He once said that in Warri, there is a saying that the poor can not sleep because they are hungry and the rich can not sleep because the poor are not sleeping. These people should know that it is in their own interest to keep these children off the street and that was what gej was trying to achieve with his unique school model at the time.

Russia/Ukraine war started barely four years ago they are both struggling to recruit front line soldiers. This insurgent had been active since 2009. The minting machine and the breeding ground for the recruitment of bandits is their practises. Spotlight should be on their governors and their leadership. For some years some local government in the three front line states were under occupation by boko haram and yet faac allocate funds to them. So where are the funds?

Part of the people supporting the terrorist are the enablers of the terrorism. If there had been sustained concrete steps at moving those children out of the street since 2009, children aged 16years and below will not be available for recruitment. Their leadership might be deemed to be complicit in the protracted insurgency.

Elusive001:
Start with those who support Iran, hamas, Hezbollah, houthis, etc.

They are always silent on Islamic terrorists in Nigeria. They are against anyone and everyone who stands against terrorism, especially of Islamic origin.

Exactly, that is why you need state policing urgently for speed of response

thrillionaire:
Just imagine citizens are allowed to bear arms for self defence. These useless terrorists would have behaved themselves.

This is a recipe for collateral damage. There is nothing that any military formation fear than an ambush. Unlike Isreal, this is like a guerilla warfare.

The military are almost getting there all they need now is to partner with Ukraine on the Utilization of advanced sensor technologies to detect and track enemy movements together with a very strong aerial coverage

They appear to be in a high spirit

ufotunang:
The solution is for the military to be proactive not reactive..take the fight, battle, bombing, drones, fighter jets to the terrorists hide outs bomb and kill and wipe out many of those terrorists away and arrest and presecute those that supply weapons, ammunition to the terrorists and also arrest and presecute their sponsors.. terrorism will now reduce and gradually end in Nigeria

This is what Isreal normally do

When I was much younger, as a Christian family, my parents bought for us a book called – My book of bible story. It was an interesting read at the time. There was a particular story in the book that was intriguing to me and that was the story of how Esau sold his birth right to Jacob for a plate of pottage. It looks out of place to me at the time as it were for someone to sell his birth right, his inheritance for a mere plate of pottage.

For some of us in the south west, Chief Obafemi Awolowo was our leader. He gave us free education, he gave us free health, he gave us industries, he gave us full employment, he handed over to us integrated rural development with farm settlements all over the place, he gave us a thriving economy, he gave to us what is akin to a paradise on earth and most importantly he handed over to us the 1963 constitution which was our inheritance and our birth right

Then the military struck with their command structure, sat down quietly somewhere, drafted a document called the 1999 constitution that does not have an input from the good citizen of Nigeria. It might not totally be deliberate because of their command orientation but what they crafted was a unitary constitution presented as a federal constitution

Then the disciples of Awolowo rose up in the form of Afenifere with the political arm as Alliance for Democracy with a specific agenda being to re acquire the paradise that was lost. Naturally, the sheep knows the Shepard, and the south westerners naturally gravitated towards Alliance for Democracy. Then the black sheep came up, they rebelled against the leadership of Pa Adesanya. They undermined AD and float a parallel party. They kept on calling Pa Adesanya my leader while actively undermining him. They formed a parallel body the council of Yoruba this Yoruba that all because of an allure for a plate of pottage – Aso Rock. They threw a whole race a whole Yoruba nation under the bus because they want to live inside the rock

Now, today, the rock here I come – of what benefit is it to an average south west citizen? Our people left leprosy they are curing eczema. Instead of clamoring for the return to 1963 constitution, my people are sadly fighting for a pot of pottage. The interesting thing is that the other side will not play by a gentleman's rule so you need a constitution. When it comes to political power, they will say – it is my constitutional right to aspire. When it comes to distribution of the spoils and largese they will say let us evolve a political solution. A classical case is this vat issue. @ Oyedele was correct. He said vat is a sales tax and recommended 60% as derivation. That was equity, that was fairness and that was justice. But they watered it down to 30%.

Anyone that is jumping up and down because of tokenism of Lagos – Calabar Expressway, pockets of appointment here and there that never translated to an improved level of welfare to the vast majority of our people will appear to me to be a biblical Esau. Our birth right is what we actually need to recover. As a people, we must stand on our inheritance

I stand to be corrected but a lot of people are with me on this – Akeredolu of blessed memory, Wole Olanipekun, Odumakin of blessed memory, a former governor of Kaduna state and many more rational thinking people

SmartPolician:
Stop telling us stories and restructure Nigeria. This is something Tinubu has always promoted and the APC has already drawn a template for it.

The only person I see since the beginning of this democratic journey that has an idea of how to run an economy is Ngozi Okonjo Iweala. She said windfall - excess crude should be invested in sovereign wealth fund. Unfortunately, the governors did not agree with her and they decided to fritter away the fund. She herself appears complicit as she failed and or neglected in jealously guiding the federal government portion of the fund

There is an hypothesis the Economists call permanent income hypothesis and transitionary income hypothesis. What the hypothesis says is that your consumption depends on your permanent income. Your transistionary income are windfalls and as such does not determine your consumption pattern. But you can convert your transistionary income into a permanent income by investing in wealth that generate streams of income

Providence has endowed nations with windfalls but the impact of this windfalls on the generations yet unborn depends on leadership. I agree with someone that said we have leadership curse and not resource curse. The Europeans had their windfall inform of exploitation from slave trade and their leadership converted it into permanent income by investing in industrial revolution

In Nigeria the windfall is crude oil that providence has endowed the nation with. But instead of translating it into permanent income, they said all revenues must be funneled into federation account to be consumed by all. Even if they fix that road today, because of the vagaries of the elements, the road would have collapsed in less than ten years. In about 2022, Fashola was constructing Ogun/Ondo border to Benin expressway. Today, you will see porthole dots here and there. So in ten years time when the road would have terribly deteriorated where will the funding to overhaul the road come from? - When crude oil production with sustained depletion would have declined to much more less than the existing 1.3 million barrel per day

As painful as it is, because the federal government is not driving value in country, we must start tolling all our roads and create sovereign wealth fund that would manage the proceed to forestall diminution in value as inflation gallops. That is the only way you can have sustainable road infrastructure in the country

God1000:
They should fix this road or forget the 2027 election in this region, this is the worst road in Benue state

Thanks @Xpol

If the experiment is successful, it will be remarkable. That quantity should be enough for the experiment at the first instance.

I will get back to you shortly.

Thanks

Xpol:
but I'm imagining a problem here, if you buy just 10 cedis, delivery will even cost them more than 10cedis.

Talk to them on that, tell them how much you're willing to buy and know whether it's free delivery, tell them they'll deliver it to kotobabi so if they're charging for delivery them you'll know how to do your calculation.

Total cost excluding facilitation fee will be approx 12k - right?

Thanks

Xpol:
10 cedis is around 1160 naira

Please how much does this translate to in Naira? I'm not too sure of the cross rate

Thanks

Xpol:
depends on the quantity, if it's just the one I saw in the pic I have a driver who won't take more than 10k from me you'll need to know the cost of the fruits in naira plus 10k. The delivery and sending to Lagos will be when I go to Accra (right now I'm not in Accra)

Thanks for getting back

Please what is the cost implications for you to place an order for the item for me

Thanks

Xpol:
Okay. It will be between 10-20k depending on the driver.

I see that you are selfless in your response to enquires.

Please what is the cost implications to waybill this kind of Cavendish banana from Ghana to Nigeria?

I want to propagate them by tissue culture procedures or any other suitable means.

I will appreciate your response in this respect.

Thank you.

Xpol:
.... good day, you tried to mail me. Just want to know if there's anything

:-

The man appears funny You cream resources off the people significantly improvising the populace and you fan the resources to the state governors and the bureaucrats to squander

This is a classical case of what Economists call crowding out phenominum You are crowding out a more efficient private sector in resource allocation

The resources cornered from the people should be ploughed back in a transparent manner either in form of infrastructure or funding support

The military did way better with the petroleum trust fund although accused of bias in allocating the resources If you say we operate a federation account Why can't you open a trust fund for the portion that belongs to the federal government?

PLOUGHING
Before have planned to used tractor this year to plow the farms, but due to their unavailability, I have to resort to the old ways...
That's cattle plow.... I mean mean Rickshaw PLOUGH Yes yo raise bulls to draw plow no be beans, so most people resort to using rickshaw, rickshaw cargo, others even use car to plow their farms.

So as some Nlanders requested me last year thread to record and post the video of Rickshaw plowing, I manage to record the video when they are plowing my farm, I will drop the link below.

Read the write up again carefully and slowly. Where did they said that their leader did a splendid job other than to provide leadership and galvanized public support?
We need to situate issues appropriately 5 billion dollars is not too difficult in Nigeria where dangote constructed 20 billion dollars refinery dufii constructed 2 billion dollars deep sea port bua constructed 2 billion dollars cement plants and so on
If you read the writeup carefully it said their central bank provided 91 percent of the cost and their capital market provided the rest through bonds and other instruments
Nigeria is so unfortunate that what we have been having in cbn and sec appears like dead woods back to back administration No developmental orientation and this is what we have been saying
We are not a developed country for crying out loud You can not be managing cbn as if you are in Europe Sec are like cult instead of sensitizing people and industrialist on available funding options Until those organs are restructured things will continue to drag

Christlike01:
The rulers of Nigeria need to sit up! How can a country with so much potential and the capacity to rival great nations like the United States, China, and Germany be in such a terrible state—simply because its leaders are too corrupt, greedy, and selfish?

The Ajaokuta Steel Complex was supposed to be the backbone of industrial progress for Black Africa, yet it continues to rust away, abandoned and underutilized. Nigeria has the capacity to build—without depleting its reserves—four or five dams like the impressive one just constructed by Ethiopia. But, once again, corrupt politicians and leaders have stood in the way.

Nigeria has no excuse—we are blessed with everything. It’s a shame that the country has consistently failed to realize its full potential. However, the day Nigeria gets it right, Africa will become truly unstoppable.

Congratulations to the government and people of Ethiopia on this remarkable achievement. We are proud of them and join in celebrating this joyous occasion.

Please, what is the source of water for your irrigation?

The set up looks nice

Thanks

Patriot001:
Farmers in the house come to my rescue ooo. This is what am witnessing few weeks after harvesting. Ive been give nutrients, spraying, watering back to back. Please ooo

@Esude007

Some people are of the opinion that Faro 61 is superior to Faro 44 in terms of yield. Can you please, share your experiences in this regard

Thanks

Esude007:
Farming rice is not just about planting seeds and waiting for harvest. It requires planning, timing, and understanding the right agronomic practices.


Farming start with the soil test, soil testing will give u the detailed nutrition of the soil. From the test we discovered that the nitrogen level of the soil was high, the potassium was medium and phosphorus was very low. Though the low phosphorus wasn't a surprise because kogi state soil I deficient in Phosphorus.

The zinc content of the soil was also low, which means we have to be ready to apply a zinc based fertilizer I order to prevent Khaira disease of rice.


I used 50kg of Faro 44 seed, farming starts with the right seed, when you select ur seed, check the following features.
(1) is it suitable for your agro ecological zone?

(2) what is the yield potential?

(3) what are the defensive Agronomic packages of the seed?

For faro 44, it is mildly tolerant to blast, it is can go as high as 6 tons of u follow good Agronomic practices.

We used dibbling method for planting.

For the weed control, we didn't use glyphosate as it is considered dangerous to the health.

I will be explaining our success and failures as we learn together.

Feel free to comment. Attached also is a video of the operation for those that want to see it visually.

Thanks....

It is a cyclical thing

The tide will soon turn. Farmers had premium prices in the last season

FarmerPro:
We need your prayers here wlh, cause it's hellish for all Middle to small scale farmers

That is three and half tons per hectare -- Not too low in my opinion for our ecology in terms of erratic rainfall, inadequate application of fertilizer and poor quality seeds - some even use grains

The numbers looks modest except for the land rentals

The margin appears tight

Zocalite:
70 bags from 2 hactares

That's low

All those hausa words you put a price what does it mean

From head to toe since the beginning of our democratic journey in 1999 , this is the third person that in my opinion understands the fundamental issues afflicting the country and that have spoken to the kernel of the issue

I want to say two things - while I was in secondary school so many years ago, our geography teacher told us that oil industry is a robber industry that you keep on robbing the earth of her resources without replenishing so it will be depleting and will get exhausted one day unless you keep investing to unlock the reserves

The other thing i want to say is this - Many years ago - those days Unilag used to admit students into Part 1 via direct entry. We were at the art block discussing - economics students Part 1 - then someone said to hell with the Niger delta crude oil and then Biodun - he is now the coo operations of a pan african bank domiciled in uk - he said if the crude oil dries up that shirt you are wearing, you will not be able to buy one- he is very prophetic about it

What we must all realise is that the internal is the reflection of the external just like you will say that a multiple cracks on the topmost floor of a superstructure is a reflection of the foundation

The problem of the nation is that all through the years we have always had an arm chair central bank in my view except for the tenor of Emefiele. In my opinion, emefiele is the only hard working central bank governor that took developmental role of central bank passionately. Unlike what we have now people sitting inside their air conditioner offices, emefiele as a sitting central bank governor will be going from one swampy rice farm to another from one rice factory to another aside from his monetary policy role. He unlocks potentials in plantation farming and exports through his cacs loans - commercial agriculture credit scheme that enabled plantation agriculture. A company I'm associated with at a time is a beneficiary of about half a billion Naira that that has since been repaid

In my view the current central bank appears a tragedy. All they want to do is to spell the monetary policy rate and determine the cash reserve requirement and allow the economy to move on auto pilot - they call it laissez-faire aka invisible hands. But the countries that developed this template are directly intervening to guide their economy. Why can't they go and persuade Trump to sit akinbo and watch china ruin their economy?

In 2024, crude oil export was about 36 billion dollars while non oil export was about 5.5 billion dollars and cocoa and fertilizer are the lead. Just like emefiele opened the vault of the cbn for rice and plantation development why can't you open the vault for cocoa rebirth and double the capacity of the fertilizer producing companies? If we can double non oil export to about 11 billion dollars, it will be about a third of crude oil export

Some people ask why is it that a country that can provide subsidy during Obasanjo regime can no longer provide subsidy again? Why is it that yesteryear is always better than subsequent years? the answer is in the structure of the economy that relied on depleting robber industry while the population explodes

The other two persons are Okonjo iweala - listen to her - “We are launching today with STDF, ITC, and the NEPC, a project to help with international safety and quality certification for sesame and cowpeas or black-eyed peas. The agriculture sector in Nigeria has the potential to be a major driver of export diversification and job creation – but too much of this potential remains unrealized, due to a variety of barriers. In fact, Nigeria has not only lost out in agricultural export markets, it is a net food importer spending about billions a year on goods, many of which we can also produce here. Some of Nigeria’s unrealised potential has to do with trade-related problems on the supply side – and that is what this project is seeking to rectify.”

The other person is ayo teriba - listen to him - “If the president can complement the efforts on tax and finance reforms with an investment act to attract $50bn FDI within the next year, exchange rates will stabilize, and inflation will drop to single digits.”

The emphasis is on the external!

zkm3:
That's not what we need.

We have Nigeria Export Promotion Council and Nigerian Export Import Bank. We need to avoid duplication of roles. This is to avoid people seeing government jobs as survival jobs instead of serious jobs to change the lives of others.

The only appointment needed is that of a Chief Economic Adviser.

APC has actually made the task easy for PDP sadly for us in the SW Just persuade gej to contest the man has a human face He will divide the block vote of labour party in SE/SS and with the existing strength of PDP It is a smooth sail Although with the election coming closer the eyes of APC are coming down small small and their shoulders coming down

Edygrin:
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, says Nigerians will vote out the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, the way the New Patriotic Party, NPP, was kicked out in the just concluded Ghana elections.

@Esude007

Your weed management is top notch

A few questions please

1. It is evident that your seed is drought tolerant. What date/week in June did you plant your maize?

2. After spraying glyphosate and atrazine at planting, have you performed any other weeding operation subsequently?

3. I know you are meticulous at record keeping. When was the last date/week/approximate that rain fell before you started experiencing rain break in your location

tnx

Esude007:
60 days old.

No rain in this location for 3 weeks now.

I’m not too sure, labour union understands what they are saying. They don’t appear to have any strategic faculty in their team. To put the whole thing in perspectives, minimum wage is what the federal government traditionally pays an average youth corper plus some fractions. How will the federal government pay the multitude of graduates graduating from our higher institutions about 8m per annum – does it make a meaning to anyone?
Labour wants to set the whole system ablaze with inflation. The tragic aspect of it is that inflation redistributes income from the productive sector to the unproductive sector. The productive sector are traditionally the surplus sector that saves their surplus by the time they want to access their savings, the value is all gone. Manufacturers and multinationals can relate where exchange rate realignments and inflation evaporates all their revenue reserves
Labour member are in fact shooting themselves at the foot. Before, we had defined benefit pension plan in the past, but now it is defined contribution plan that federal government is running so you eat what you save plus 10% by the government. At retirement all their savings with the pension fund administrators would have fizzled out because it is not indexed to dollars
Federal Government capacity to generate revenue is weak with vast majority of the populace that are straw like – You cannot squeeze water out of stone. The only way to raise funding is what the government earns and loans. Since the earning capacity is weak, you cannot owe salary the next thing is to result to loans or if that is difficult fall back on ways and means. But ways and means is a high powered money with reverberating effect on inflation. The federal government is looking for a way of sucking out the said 10 trillion pumped into the economy without productivity labour is still trying to create more complication
It is a paradox really, while the political head is talking about productivity, the labour union is talking about consumption of food, of transportation of this of that. Why can’t they give the federal government policy options on how to reign in inflation instead of re-inforcing inflation? They should be discussing mass housing, mass transportation, reduction in duty rates, boosting agriculture etc etc
The federal government should also be sincere. The minimum wage is already 30k you added wage award of 30k you are now offering 50k – does that make a meaning?
I think the best thing is to ask an average youth corp member to step out to tell how much will be enough for him to rum for one month plus some savings to step down after the service year

phemmie06:
Government should try reduce inflation

The whole of labour's razzmatazz is a fallacy

Many years ago, we were complaining to our Finance Director that our take home pay was not taking us home. He explained to us that the size of the rat is the size of her nestle. Labour should look at the size of the Federal Government budget before making demands

There are some fundamental flaws in the assumption of the labour union

1. They kept on talking about the family of 6 but they are negotiating minimum wage meant for entry level who are barely married so that their minimum wage should in fact be divided by 6 so the 100k appears fair As you grow up the ladder, the salary increase will take care of increase in family size

2. The labour union should promote productivity so they should not assume that only one family member draws salary from the Federal Government The spouse is expected to also be productive so you can not cunning rest all the responsibility on a member in your attempt to be aggressive in your negotiation

3.Some state governments are deeply in debt like the governor of one north western state mentioned at a time so after the deductions of debt from their faac, the rest is barely enough for salaries So how will they develop infrastructures and provide security?

4. How will professionals managing their various practice firms pay such humongous salaries to their drivers , secretaries and office assistant. Labour is thinking employers stops at Federal government? That is another fallacy

I think Federal Government should just negotiate a reduction in the number of days at work such that they will work shifts but the offices will be opened for five days and the rest days they can use it to go in pursuit of agriculture to augment their earning

helinues:
Toh

The state governors are just laughing at the Labour Union drama.

Ordinary N30K, the state governors are owning months, even sometimes self, they have to wait for bail out from FG before paying the salaries

Labour should come down from their high horse and be realistic for once

Please, did you fill the seedling trays with coco peat or loamy soil

Tnx

Dear Diary,

Weeds are sprouting on our groundnut farm once again

We did manual weeding today but will continue tomorrow morning

We discovered the seeds Are coming outside of the root, we're fetching soil to cover it up.
This will inadvertently lead to more seeds during harvest

Diary,

I'm glad everyday seeing what's becoming of my farm across different locations.

Good night diary,
Much Love
Keju

I think @ eadewunmi is correct’. All the rigmarole of @taiwoyedele is naught. In my profession, you must not only be independent, you must be seen as being independent and that is the view of @eadewunmi
In fiscal space, you have the fiscal agencies and the private sector participants. Equity canon in fiscal space is a different issue in its entirety but @ eadewunmi is talking about the committee composition. Considering the antecedent of @taiwoyedele as a private sector champion, it does not appear right for the government to appoint him as the Chairman of that committee He is already a prejudice party. An Academia would have been a better fit. However, considering his wealth of experience and industry reach, he is eminently qualified to be a member of the committee

ganisucks:
They asked you to explain why the receipt you offered has a price higher than what the product is worth, and how come your entry into the books showed a price lower than the actual price, and your response is the definition and history of bookkeeping. Guilty conscience is killing you, simple! 😆😅🤣😂

Your harvest looks bountiful - beautiful!

You have started harvesting this early May when rainfall started only in March?

Please, when did you plant your watermelon?

Tnx

Dadadididacontr:
It the first harvest from different varieties of crops on my 15 acres farm.
The output is encouraging despite inconsistent water supply.
The best bet is irrigation system which is in progress.

This is the second truck load trip to market

I like this your concept - It is simple, efficient and affordable. It is a practical solution to unavailability of farm hands during the planting season I'm not too sure however if this will be workable in the south west with her tough terrain - you will need a lot of stumping One might however use tractor at the first instance and this equipment on subsequent ploughing

Can you please show us the pictures of the plough, the rough and dirty idea of pricing and where we can likely get the equipment

Tnx

RuMiRgO1stSon:
Well we aren't using oxen to pull the plow, but machine like tricycle both pickup and keke napep type, while others use car etc.
Both the plow and the machine wasn't mine, but Friend's.

Your beans looks luxuriant and nice to behold!

Please,

i) What spacing did you use within rows? - They appear fairly compacted

ii) What selective herbicide did you use? - That did not hurt the beans at this stage of foliage

Thanks

Maryam1234:
Dear Diary,
Currently applying herbicide on my beans farm and watching as the sunset behind the abyss of the Rock.The progress so far was "WOW" The contentment that will come with this year's harvest is gonna be amazing The beans are doing pretty well from different locations and no regrets at all.Alhamdulillah, which of the favours of thy Lord will I deny?

@maryam1234

This looks nice and healthy!

But the moisture level of the grains appears high How do you intend to dry it further in this wet season?

Tnx

Dear Diary,
It's been ages So sorry about the neglect huh! My maize did well,we have started harvesting the first batch.The Okra travel Miles away from me,the feedback was heavenly.
