God factor in farming

In this 2015?


Silly Africans and their really pathetic superstitions.

Explains why we cannot feed our population, import toothpicks, wooden furniture and frozen fish.

Pathetic.

What a load of idiotic twaddle!! Let us review the EVIDENCE!! Not the superstitious nonsense. Which countries produce the most food in the world. How Godly are they? How much fasting and melon juice do they indulge. Holding the rain,stopping combine harvester. Will anyone accept such idiocy from the Chief of Army Staff about why Boko Haram is not defeated( They are using bullet proof jazz. Israelis farm successfully in the dessert not by fasting and praying. Everything about farming has to do with knowledge,technology and resources. If you have those then you do not need God. If you are trying to make "Paradise" fine but on this earth there is no holding rain
. STOP that nonsense!!
When people speak you can guess their background. Did they grow up in comfort or hardship? Did they grow up on food cooked with Kerosene ,firewood or gas. Did they have running water in their homes or did they have to go out to fetch water. Don't get me wrong nothing wrong in being born poor but generally poor people in Nigeria have a certain mindset and mentality and even if they become billionaires that mentality never leaves them you can always smell kerosine in their speech and thoughts. They are the main customers of "men of God" . They believe in Magun and the possibility that someone can touch you and steal your penis. Generally they are lazy mentally and cannot THINK deeply preferring instead to believe such nonsense as people "holding rain" for a year!!

It is important to answer such foolishness ,one cannot allow it to stand unchallenged as many are susceptible to such foolishness and someone needs to speak truth to idiocy. This particular kind of idiocy is so transparent it does not require much argument just a simple smack down "STOP THE FOOLISHNESS AND WASH OFF THE KEROSINE"

following.... lesgupnigeria carry on sir! season greetings to you.

A story was told of my father some years back how he lost money in his corn farm business;infact he was unable to harvest a corn on his farm.It happens during one of the era of a military government where farmland were forcefully acquired from the villagers and reassign to some of the them to made use of for large scale farming.
He was able to access over 100 acres of those land.Initially,the villagers complained bitterly and above him to stay clear of their farmlands.After much diplomatic meetings to strike a deal with the villagers,they would not bulge telling them their source of livelihood is at stake.

Have you seen or heard about people using diabolical means to hold rain in a particular area even during the rainy season?
The villagers held the rain and there was no rainfall for that season in that location.All the corn grown could not be harvested because it did not bring out corn.The all abandoned the project.Most of the locals sees you as a threat to their source of livelihood.

Another incidence happen in Igbeti,Oyo state where a rice farmer lost nearly 50% of his harvest because there was a delay in his harvest.The new Combined harvester bought could not work;Not until the village head who sees the harvester as a means to displace them were summoned and appeased before the new harvester came back to life.
If you are a practising farmer regularly on the field,you will understand better.
If the truth be told,these are some of the spiritual challenges not being talked about but exist and can only be overcome by being spiritually upright as well.
Being spiritual and prayerful is the key here.
Whether you are a Muslim or a Christian,you will need tons of it to succeed in the business.There are spiritual forces that are above you that you need to subdue before you can near successful agribusiness.Believe it or not,it existed and the earlier you recognised it,the better.
The richest man in Africa was interviewed one time by a popular Magazine where he said he just finished 7 days fasting and need to break with melon juice.He once had people on his payroll praying for him 24/7,you can't build such a massive business with your natural strenght;there are forces to subdue spiritually before you can do such.
This is not to say spirituality should take the place of hardworking and experience,they are to work hand in hand.
Remember, heavens help those who help themselves,Hardworking can't take the place of prayers and vice versa.
This Godfactor is the spiritual side of every success in agribusiness and you should also imbibe it as well.

Stay tuned for more.

So the Chinese put God first? Why talk like a fool.? When the EVIDENCE is in front of you. The world i full of successful people who have absolutely no business with God or gods.And then you come citing yourself. So you are now a shining exemplar of farming success whom we should try to emulate? Do not be ridiculous. You cannot eat your cake nd have it.If you want to advance the argument that putting God first lead to financial or farming success then such people must be at the top. Farming has to do with technology and capital and that is why countries like China and Russia and the US and EU are years ahead of us. They are not concerned with God. I do not object to belief in God ,it has its place but let us not lose common sense or reasoning.Godliness is not what makes successful farmers
