Nice one....what is the source of heat and do you do trainings on how to bake

I feel so sorry for myself living in this helpless society

mrtomola:
Samething just happend to me now. N50 for mastercard charge And N238 for Sms charge.

Dear nairalander, please help out.....
I noticed last month that my bank.....charged me a monthly fee on my Master card....I approached the customer care desk and was told it was a directive from the CBN but would be reversed.
Shockingly, instead of the reversed, I was again this month charged for the same ATM. I do not understand if this is applicable to only Master card users or cut it across....Its unimaginable the ridiculous open and hidden charges the banks subjected Nigerians bank customers to.....When will the policies of the Central Bank of Nigeria ever favoured the Nigeria customers. What justification has the CBN after a customer has paid for his/her ATM.
Dear Nairalander share your views...

Dear Nairalander share your views...

Today, many wonder why men, most especially the married one, engage in extra marital affairs....study shows that, most married men in dare need of intimacy with their legitimate wife are often time if not most time denied sex with the later(wife) giving varying excuses, forgetting an oath of for better for worse....
Have you been a victim of such....how did you calm down......

Good morning compatriots and fellow farmers.....I'm an admin of three whatsapp group since last year and I can no less agree with your position on such social platform....indeed it has its merits but most often times does not really address the specifics....some Adkins created whatsapp for their selfish intentions, some whatsapp members joined for their selfish intentions.......it takes God and a sincere, passionate and committed agropreneur admin to manage such platforms....
In addressing some of such limitations.....my network though not specifically for ugu will support every move to see your idea comes through....we are over 50 registered members across Nigeria......should we be able to get it right in consolidating our efforts....it may history in the making.......
Below are few pics of ugu farns visited yesterday for survey and data collection......
God bless Nigeria Agriculturist/Farmers....

You are so right on point. But about passion and implementation, I believe we don't need crowd of people to actualize it. Doing the course of running this thread, I have come across people with like passion as yourself and I. What we just have to do is create an enabling platform to help us achieve our goals.

I intentionally did not want to create a whatsapp group. I have seen some loops in using such medium as some are just there to feed on their knowledge bank without contributing an iota of input to the group. It takes a lot drive for one to follow a nairaland thread and POST.

Believe me, I have related to persons and there's enough drive to achieve Ugu Farmers Association (UFA). We can't start letting all the geese out of the bags yet. The password to any info for UFA is PASSION and COMMITMENT.

Try discussing on both threads, so we can fish out the genuine ones. I believe the present youths in the country are yearning for a platform with great minds. Let's make this happen.

Some info you deem it's not fit for the public eye can be shared to my email. If I or you see other commitment individuals, please do let us know.

We need Commitment and not Crowd. The Crowd will fall in place in due time.

It is critical we build a structure and a thorough objective for UFA.

Looking forward to working with you and other committed fellows.

Ejula Farm

I've said it couple of times and always worried by farmers attitudes towards their intellectual rights... So far...and for once, I support the move of to have specific farmers asociations far different from the politicised Nigeria's Farmers Association.....just few days ago, I sold my ugu and was shocked at the experience inspite of huge resources invested into it....funny enough...the vulganizer, tailors, hairdressers etc...has "local" as they look....have formidable association recognised by law and fighting the interest of the members with one voice....such is far from farmers....my greatest challenge with us..is PASSION and implementation....

IMPORTANT UPDATE

During the course of this thread, I have received quite a good number of recommendations. And the top of this recommendation is

- Setting up a corporate body for Ugu farmers
- Help to set up Ugu farms.

The aim of this thread is to help young men and women interested in Ugu farming. And I am taking this bold step with the support of great Ugu farmers like olaide68, youngzoologist and DBPOWER to launch an experimental online association strictly for Ugu farmers. I am proposing an easy recognizable name for the Co-Op. So I am recommending UGU FARMERS ASSOCIATION of Nigeria. (UFA). The Nigeria usage is not highlighted because we believe the association will transcend the shore of Nigeria.

This experimental phase aims to achieve the following

- To help get the real interested ugu farmers involved.
- To setup our objectives

If the above objective is setup, we will take the big leap of faith to make the association functional in all capacity.

The following objective are limited, but as the association get more brains involved we will expand and re-edit the present ones.

- To help support young vibrant youths interested in ugu farming. This support will rage from technical to financial
- To form a synergy that will speed up the process of Ugu export to the EU and US
- To help with all certifications like NAQS and NEPC, for our members
- To make the voice of Ugu farmers loud and clear as the nation tilt to agribusiness as a main source of revenue
- To create a platform where ugu sellers (no matter their level of literacy) get involve in this mammoth project
- To create a database of all Ugu stakeholders
- To involve repute investors and expose them to our members in need of them..

The aim is to empower youth.

I urge serious people interested in Ugu farming to join the moving train. The group is open for now but once the structure is lined out it will be strictly by membership.

Please if you are not motivated enough, don't get involve because we will know the "realers".

We will use Nairaland platform and an email platform to create the structure for now.

Show your interest in this thread or the other one https://www.nairaland.com/3620133/ugu-farmers-association-nigeria-ufa

God bless Ugu farmers

Ejula Farm

@Ejula...happy new month to you and all visitors on your thread...please, I did my first cut of ugu two days ago...I was told a pampa goes for two thousand naira but shockingly...the guy that helped in the cutting used one and a half cement bag as one pampa....how true is this....what's your measurement and prize in your area

Brother I totally agree with your experience.....in my own case...i did quite a number of comparison and decided to adopt manual all through on half an hectare...its been pretty challenging but the truth behind it is that I wanted to be sure of the profit margin at the end...
I can only wish that our unemployed youths and the government are truly serious with the agric sector

Update...

Challenges

Some of the major challenge with vegetable farming is effective irrigation and labour. This challenge has made me cut down my project size from 10 plots to about 3 plots for the time being.

Effective irrigation: A pumping machine + hose is manageable for 1 plot but not suitable at all for 3 plots and above. I am not saying it is not achievable but it will be unnecessary stressful. So please take note.

So from inquiries, use rain gun or drip. Yes it entails huge cost but with proper management the ROI is worthwhile.

Labour: Trying to maintain 3 plots of Ugu by yourself is very tasking. Considering especially my archaic form of irrigation. If it is a crop like plantain, then it is very possible to effectively manage even an acre but vegetables are so tender that they need daily attention. From watering to applying fertilizer to weeding.


So far... The effort is worthwhile. I have learnt a lot and with further better management, the venture would be rewarding.


Ejula Farm...

Whaoooo....I think I love this....it looks neat and clean. I wish you could indicate your whatsapp number and location for prospective patronage

I actually do not like giving a pessimist and discouraging comments on other members/group thread but pardon for doing this most especially for the singular fact that you included agriculture.
If your interest is 3% on a monthly basis, that gives 18% to a farming of six months gestation period giving bus an interest pay back of #90,000 on #500,000....I'm sure this is exclusive admin and other charges.
This is quite high for farmers especially if your model demands a monthly repayment without moratorium.
Honestly, I think organisations like yours should give exceptional incentives to agriculture if indeed you are keen in helping to diversify the country economy from oil and gas.
This is just my humble opinion and mean no harm.

@praiseon...I can tell you there are such groups and system that can support farming..the bitter truth is that many startups aren't ready to postion their enterprise for such opportunity....you cannot expect any potential investor to fund a business that has no convincing track record...my submission is such startup should do all to build a promising business....believe you me with patience and prayers....funding will surely come

Are you tired of idleness this new year 2017 and willing to break the challenges of joblessness.
Are you interested in starting a small business with as little as #20k.....this is not an online or networking business....its purely an offline business with a guarantee of at least #40k per month.
Interested drop your whatsapp contact....

Please share the pix of the PVC with hose pipe. Thanks

As a beginner I tried ensuring all best methods I can adopt to get it right cos its a group project...the rope was just to help determined where we planted the seed. Its an hectare farm land.
Currently, we adopted a manual irrigation method using the PVC with hose pipe

AKMoney1:
Please how do you water your farm and what's the purpose of those ropes?

My brother thanks for your reply....I hope to share documented experiences too after harvest...thanks for your good works
