*MEN OF GOLD DON'T WEAR GOLD*

Yesterday I had to visit somewhere and it was raining so I did not want to drive there since I was not too familiar with the road, so I parked my car somewhere close and used a keke (local tricycle).
While I was there I got a call from a long time friend reminding me of my promise to her husband over a job, so I quickly told her my location, and asked her to tell her husband to meet me up ASAP since I will be leaving town soon, but I told her to tell her husband to meet me up where I packed my car since that place was a popular land mark .
I don’t know her husband and we have never met before. As I sent her the address, she called me back and was so excited that I was even around her area which will make it easy for him because he did not even have transport to come out,things was that bad. So I told her that he should pick a drop and I will pay.
In other not to keep him stranded I had to start rushing back to where I packed my car. God, I even entered under the rain, cold, just to meet up with him so he will not be stranded. As I was walking under the rain I saw a keke and stopped it. The keke man asked me to beg the man inside, so I started begging. The man refused and said I was wet. I told him I will sit one side, and he refused, saying except I pay for both his fare and mine.
I agreed, then he allowed me. As I entered this man kept me uncomfortable, saying if my wet clothes touch him again I will get down. I just kept my cool until I finally got to my destination. I did not even reach until I stopped at the junction and paid then used my legs to walk to my car, since it was very close.
I was inside my car warming myself, then I got a call from my friend saying her husband was around, so I described my car and he came. I saw someone knocked on my car glass, wound down and it was this same man in a keke with me. Gosh!
I was supposed to pay the keke man, and recommend him for a job? Tears rolled down my eyes, I brought out N3,000, gave him, started my car and zoomed off. My friend has been calling and sending me messages, I had to block her. Be careful, many times men of gold don’t wear gold.
Be nice.

To begin beans farming, there are things you must know. Apart from its high demand for it and the short supply, we have provided a guide below to start your own beans farm in Nigeria.

1. Selecting a good site

Your first step is to starting a beans farm is to choose a suitable location for it. Normally, the south eastern and western part of the country is very good for beans farming business. The pH level of soil favorable to beans farming is 6-7. This means the soil pH level should be neutral.

Also in this stage, preparing the land by ploughing would be a good idea. However, the soil should be well drained as beans cannot survive in a waterlogged area. To let the legume germinate well, you must expose the soil used in planting beans to sunlight. Mind you that a damp soil, will weaken the seed and might cause stunted growth.

2. Seed Selection

After choosing your farm location, the next step is choosing the seed variety as each have what it is best made for. Read on the variety of beans, specific requirement and what they can be used for.

If you have done your research of the different types of beans grown in Nigeria, it would be better you select the healthy seeds for planting. Damaged seeds won’t yield you a good return on investment. As with the normal practice, the seeds is expected to be planted at least 2 inches deep into the soil before it is covered with the soil surface.

If done well, your beans would sprout within 6 days. This shows you that the seed planted is already germinating, which is a good sign for business.

If you have a fertile soil for beans farming that has been prepared organically, you won’t need fertilizer because of the soil quality. Most beans farmers apply artificial fertilizers moderately due to poor soil type. The ideal fertilizer for beans farming is the nitrogen type.

3. Planting & weeding

Normally, the month to plant beans is by March. This has always been a favorable planting season. But before you start, loose the soil and plough it. After that, you can then plant the seed. As earlier said, the fertility of the soil matters if you want to harvest beans in excess quantity. The only time you should apply fertilizer is if the fertility of the soil is low.

Here is how to plant the bean seeds: the beans should be planted with the eye downwards the soil. Give about 4 to 6 inch gap apart. Watering the soil is also important. This should be done regularly until the bean seeds begin sprouting out.

During the process of watering the plant, ensure the water don’t touch the leaves, this will avoid mould growth. We often advice to plant the beans close to an onions plant. Every four years, develop the practice of planting the seeds at exact spot more than once.

After planting, take care of your farm by weeding when necessary to watch out for pest and diseases and control them immediately to avoid spread. Weeding is important to produce healthy seedlings. While uprooting the weeds be careful to avoid contact with the roots of the bean plant.

4. Harvesting

Beans are usually ready for harvest 60 – 80 days after planting. Very important, it is best to harvest during a dry weather and avoid harvesting during a wet weather. To harvest, gently pull the beans from the vines or snap it off the vine ends.

There are 2 factors that influences harvesting beans and they are type of growth and the stage of growth.

For the stage of growth, you can harvest the beans at the snap, shell or dry stages.

The snap beans are harvested when the seeds are still quite still immature. A problem with harvesting at the snap stage is that this type of beans doesn’t develop the proper flavor and texture. Normally the easiest way to ascertain the suitability of the beans for harvest in this stage is by harvesting one or two pods to determine the quality before going into proper full scale harvest.

The best indicator of snap beans is the diameter of their pods. The ideal diameter is between 1/4 – 1/8 “. You can choose to allow your snap beans to develop into dry beans before you harvest.

The shell beans are harvested at a later time compared to the snap beans. Once the enclosed seeds become quite obvious, the beans can be harvested. The beans can be eaten fresh or dried.

The dry beans are harvested when the seeds have reached complete maturity.. The dry beans should be grown in plenty of space and ventilation. If during the harvest period, there’s a spell of rain, you can remove the plants from the ground and hang it upside down to allow drying to continue.

After that, the harvest goes to the process of threshing to remove the extraneous pod materials. It is important to avoid harvest early so you can get the right flavor and texture. On the other hand, if you harvest late, it becomes tough.

As you can see that beans business in Nigeria is a very profitable one and can yield you millions once the planting season is over.

*Agriculture and oil*

*Agriculture is superior to oil.
*Agriculture is older than oil
*Agriculture will live longer than oil.
*Everyone living benefits from agriculture
*Agriculture is easy to trade.

I agree with what professor Wole Soyinka once said, the nation was doing very well before we discover oil.

Assuming we don't discover oil, the nation would have been better than the way it is now, that is true.

I urge you all to learn how to grow some crops or rear some animal.

Then invest on it gradually. Don't be ashame to start small, that's always my advise and don't put too much money as a begginner.

The truth is, agriculture pays, it gives cool and real wealth with lasting success, if you have the right technics, you can make more money on 1 plot of land than someone who have 10 acres of land without knowledge.

If you want to go into agriculture. Don't procastinate, don't be ashame to ask questions.

Believe me, farmers are God's partner they are into the business of the Almighty God. That's my confidence, your success is very sure.Paul planted and Apolo water but God gave the increase, he gave seed to the sower.

God is mindful of your success as a farmer, yours is to be available on ground to work and be time conscious, farming is timing.

Greetings to you all my fellow corporate Farmer.

For many of you calling, I believe you are all enjoying the rate in which you crop are growing.

The rain has started fully and the time for wet 🌽 has started, no more waiting.... Start planting your maize and cassava now.

There are still many advantage for those who don't have Farm Land to cultivate... Contact us and be among those to laugh soon.

I remain Deji.

This helps to lowers the chances of cardiovascular diseases like atherosclerosis, heart attacks, and strokes.

🍃Cancer🍃

Vitamin B9 present in Jute is considered to be an essential component for reducing the occurrence of cancer in the human body. It helps eliminate the likelihoods of cancer in various forms, including colon cancer, cervical cancer and lung cancer.
