Are you going to start subsistence farming as a tenant.

I started subsistence farming as a tenant. Our landlord was Igbo, so I paid him for use of his land with free access to my ugwu that I grew on his land.

It all depends on the amount of land you rent and your relationship with your landlord and how wise hunger makes you.

jericco1:
May God provide for us all. Quite disheartening people are passing through such dilemma

but why are people not farming? There are enough lands everywhere

RealSean:
lol what do you mean? Tribalism and sentiments didn't allow some of you vote for the man eager to change Nigeria for the best, then you all voted for Mr Emilokan and now want everyone to be a farmer because it happens that way in other countries? Funny people.

If everybody turns farmer who go sell, will you plant tomato, rice,beans, garri for one farm?
A friend of mine gave 15,000 Naira to labourers to cultivate cassava in his farm at Anambra, now his in tension because he has to go and look after the crops and the transport fare is too expensive, he can't leave his job in Enugu just to go check after his crops . I told him to pay someone to do that,he was afraid he will lose his money and crops to thieves and for his village, you no fit beg person to help you

Elubo. Elubo is around 1800 per paint whilesale price at my base



If not that Nigerians are not research minded, 200,000 Naira invested into cassava farming can provide a family of 5-8 with Garri, fufu and the likes for at least 4-7 months of daily consumption

do you know how many months it takes for cassava to mature...also how much to get land for a year lease?

budaatum:
Have you tried sawdust? It's free from the sawmill or 50 Naira per garawa depending on the wood quality.

Alternatively, grow your own cassava and make your own gari.

I am currently farming around ten acres. Say something else please

If Fulanis and their cows allow you abi?
You think many people don't want to farm!

I farm. 70% of the fulanis in my farm settlement know me. They even drive their cows through my farm boundary and do not affect nor attack my farm

Tonytonex:

Simple. Farming is very expensive. I spend over 400-500k monthly on maintenance

cutecommend:

Please understand, things are getting ugly because we allow tribalism to eat deep,now everyone dey feel the pain, Fulani herdsmen killing farmers in the south, bandits and Boko Haram in the north, governors demolishing businesses forcing more people into crime.
Is this how you predicted Nigeria to be in the future?

I think you need to think a bit more about what you read and separate what you think you read from what I am saying.

I am from Osun State. My candidate lost the election. And in the other country where I sometimes live, I plant tomatoes on the window sill.

Pedro334:
carrots and cucumber ,

those ain't food. It will only make you more hungry

how much did you pay for the 10 arces..don't tell lies o, we are here to help each other, unless its your family land you probably paid heavily for that 10 arces right

jmoore:
The price of garri keeps increasing. A paint of garri is 4,000 naira.

Any cheap alternative to garri that one can use to eat soup?

garri is the cheap alternative. things are bad!

Free alternative is sand..... U guys should hit the streets and stop looking for alternatives

that's a large scale. I'm talking about for family feeding

Just pray that the ones who don't know you will not visit you one day

Sawdust would be a cheaper alternative to Garri trust me.

thank you my brother

No alternatives a guy was seen eating grass a few days ago because he can't afford foodstuffs the apc have really finished nigeria completely.

I understand you perfectly now my bro. God will bless you for wanting a good Nigeria.

budaatum:


Don't you think you ought to do whatever needs doing to make your ends meet if they don't meet already?

No, everyone shouldn't need to be a farmer to make their ends meet. There's lots of people here not crying about gari because their ends meet already. But if your ends so don't meet that you need to be crying here about gari, then farming is an option, along with yahooism or ashewo or selling your organs or robbery.

And if you survive till the next election, consider using your pvc much more intelligently than you did in the past.

my riend please die this pvc talk.

the only purpose of a PVC is to make people "feel" like they voted whereas in reality, their so-called vote did not matter one bit. This goes a long way to forestall any uprising because the criminal politicians buy time (4 to 8 years in the case of Nigeria) to continue stealing from where they stopped.

Read my response to the person before you where I say were I plant tomatoes on the window sill.

The point is, farming does not necessarily need to be crops. With some imagination, some are planting actual money.

As for predicting how Nigeria would be in the future, yes, I predicted this future when Shehu Shagari won his second term. Despite knowing there was no way Awolowo could win, it was obvious that how we were going then would lead to where we are now.

And not to claim that I am any good at predicting futures, but I predict here now that anyone who thinks it is bad now does not realise how much worse its going to unfortunately get.

My dear you can get.lands with 20,000 Naira in Nigeria that will.provide food for a family of six for at least 4-6mths.

Sawdust is wood. You must be kidding me. Are you an animal that eats sawdust? Wonders shall never cease!

This is what I would want you who would not vote for me to believe. Meanwhile, I tell those who would vote for me to get their pvc early. That way, while you are sitting there claiming your pvc is useless, I get more votes and win the election and get to rule over you.

I call it, intelligent rigging. Though much more than just that is required, as you might note from my recent loss.

Everlastingson:

Did you hear me cry that I don't have gari or that I am hungry?

Perhaps read the thread so people don't think you are the animal here.

It's nice to know you do listen and obey your mum.

baba, there is nothing like intelligent rigging.

If everybody votes Mr. A and the criminals want Mr. B, on the day of results announcement, Mr. B will be declared the winner.
