You remember this post (thread)?: https://www.nairaland.com/3187339/invitation-freely-participate-veggies-demo. The demonstration plot has long being concluded but you know onions spend around 120 days/4 months to reach maturity after transplanting. Today 7th of September, 2016,Team leader of J.B Akin Owen who managed the project teamed up with the lead farmer at Oluyole, Ibadan, Oyo state to carry out the harvesting of onions. At this time of the year when the price of onions is on the rise, this is what is achievable even in South west Nigeria during wet season. Watch out for our article on Onion cultivation protocol and check more pics on flickr.com through our signature.

Na laziness de worry us all Oyel money has made us all lazy. Imagine if the South West states begin farming these and more. Ghana imports onions from South Africa or neighboring countries.

This is impressive and a motivation to many that it is do-able outside the Stereotyped beliefs that it is only possible in the North....na mental laziness dey worry us! Growing it to target harvest during the time Onions will be expensive will make good business.

Kudos

ok, would the price drop accros the country

very nice one from the west... its hightime southerners stopped being dependent on north for food!!!

Southern Nigeria can become self sustaining in terms of agriculture.
To increase local supply of meat and reduce repeated Fulani attacks, farmers in Anambra are taking to ranching with support from the state govt and their cows look much healthier than the ones that have trekked from Sokoto to Enugu.

The Northerners have made us believe somethings cannot grow in the south. First from Moringa to beans etc but those things grow fully well here. It will interest you to note that southwest have their own cow called dwalf in ondo state that is free of tsetset fly, yet we still rely on the so call fulani's herds

really?

Make Sense...
Where my cutlass and hoe

ok

Not only Volta o. brong ahafo and tamale have plenty

Farming and teaching. these are noble profession we don't take serious here in Nigeria. I will change that when I become president.

When there are unskillful and uncreatives leaders, they would called these onions markets nonsense. If these farmers contest for presidency in 2019 general electionsm we won't votes them. Would we votes farmers for presidency
