AGRIBUSINESS: How to get optimum yield from cassava cultivation

    By abdulsalam Olawale

Get Optimum Yield Cassava Cultivation: cassava, described as the ‘golden crop of Africa,’ plays a significant role in the move towards food security and hunger eradication. However, productivity per hectare remains low due to poor awareness about modern farming practices. FEMI IBIROGBA presents step-by-step cassava planting techniques to enhance maximum productivity.

The emerging value chain development of cassava in Nigeria has brought the crop to the limelight as one of the most industrialised and widely consumed tropical crops. The root crop is processed into food such as garri, lafun and fufu as staples directly consumed at homes and restaurants, while it is also used in industrial production of high quality flour, starch, ethanol and animal feeds.

Now they say our population is not large enough to produce a governor in Edo State but if we tell every Esan man to come back home, I’m sure we will be the largest ethnic groups in Edo State, that’s the truth.” Sergius

SOCIAL ORGANIZATION AND POLITICAL STRUCTURE

SOCIAL ORGANIZATION AND POLITICAL STRUCTURE

By Dr Christopher G, Okojie

The entire social structure is based on KINSHIP. The smallest social unit being UELEN which consists of a man, his wives, children, junior brothers, his yet unmarried sisters and any other such persons as his mother and servants. When the junior brothers grow up and get married, they build their own houses round their senior brother's which was their father's house before his death. This man is the king post of the whole structure and I name him outright for easy reference: he is the OMINJIOGBE (AKHEOA in Esan 'B'). As the brothers' own families start to multiply it is easy to see this man's position as head of the family increasing in importance. He speaks for his unit and takes charge of the Ancestral Shrine.

 “For tomorrow belongs to the people who prepared for it today.” Esan  proverbs

By @WPP Jr

God create music for the upliftment of human spirit. Music is the food of the soul because it has the power to connect us to our spirit being. It arouses our attention and leads us into dancing mould until we’re transfigure, driving by terrestrial angelic forces, we’re lifted, transformed and elevated beyond the physical because our minds is lost in merriment. In that very moment, we are separated from the pangs of life. Music is what good medicine is to body of mortals that needs healing; it relieves our spirit from living weights. Likewise is one’s latter glorious day if we plan well and work the goals.

EMUAKHAGBON

Meaning, to keep your focus on tomorrow concerning that thing you’re doing today in that not to suffer at old age.

 If You own one Hectare, one Hundred or a Thousand Hectares or more in Any Location in Nigeria and You Want to Farm With your Eyes on a Sustainable and Viable Retirement opportunity over the next decades, you must consider cash crop today. If you are a Farmer, Farmrade, Investor (or anybody interested in farming as a Long Term business or investment), You are Around 40yrs plus, & you are not planning on going into cash crop, then you maybe short changing yourself.

Why? You may ask. Some of these reasons will suffice. Cash crop is the only agro investment where you plant/invest once & harvest for many many years. Cash crop requires minimal care unlike arable crops that require ICU treatment. Cash crop can be used to hedge against any other financial investment. This is because, if done well; you are sure of good returns every year for a Minimum of 10 years.

Bitter leaf- my menstrual cramp aid

By AgroNigeria

I could remember vividly my days as a free young girl, who didn’t have to worry about any cramps or pains, didn’t have to be cautious about getting stained or even refrain myself of taking sugary substance. Oh! How I miss those days. But more glaring to me was how my class mates who have started seeing their monthly flow made me feel, unknown to them. I could remember a time when makers of ALWAYS sanitary pad visited my school to educate girls on how to use menstrual pads and also talk about sex education, my home economics teacher had instructed every girl in my class to leave whatever they were doing and ensured they attended the seminar/workshop, she also emphasised that particularly girls who had started seeing their monthly flow.

ITS TIME TO TAKE ESANLAND BACK

HEALTH - AFRICAN LOCUST BEANS, NATURE’S RARITY

By AgroNigeria

What comes to your mind anytime you come across the saying ‘‘don’t judge a book by its cover?’’ Beyond the literal meaning it depicts, it’s deep and applies to everything we do and engage in, even in terms of the food we eat and the ingredients we use in preparing them. I have pondered several times why some things that are useful to humans would cause a kind of displeasure or discomfort.

Okay, let me put it simply. Take Onions, for instance, it has so many health benefits, yet it provokes tears from one’s eyes when peeled. What of lime? It has a sour taste but very medicinal. There is no way you will taste lime and not notice some changes in your body system before it performs its functions.

ESANLAND DID YOU HAVE HEATH INSURANCE?

By Ramatu U Bako

One of the under-utilized, under branded and under popular policies of our government is the National health Insurance Scheme (NHIS). Or the Private Health Insurance Scheme (PHIS) for those not working with or for government.

There is absolutely no reason why people should be going around looking for money to go to hospital or buy prescription in this country. It is appalling that in this day and age, people die not due to illness but due to the time lag occasioned by relatives running around trying to raise money to pay for test or medicines etc

LUCRATIVE OPPORTUNITIES IN GINGER IN NIGERIA

By @WPPJr

Ginger In Nigeria; Ginger is well known in many human communities around the world. Nigeria is the fourth largest exporter of ginger in the world, with China being the second largest producer and India the largest producer and exporter to more than 50 countries and accounting for more than 70% of the world’s production.

In the Nigerian market, ginger is well known and on high demand even though it is quite expensive.

IDEA IN BUSINESS MANAGEMENT IN NIGERIA

by @WPP Jr

I would love to reiterate again because I’ve said this before and I will say it again. THIS IS THE BLACK MAN CENTURY. That means this is Africa time. And Nigeria is going to be one of the driving forces behind this phenomenal transformation that’s happening in Africa this century and beyond. It’s already happening. If you live abroad, is easier to be blinded by Western stereotypes and media bias toward Africa.

So, open your eyes very well and make sure you invest back home.  Buy as much land as you can, they don’t manufacture them anymore. Think property investment.
