Morning milking is done! My 3 cows gave me 37 litres today, and they're all expecting calves. Dairy farming has great potential, but profits come from good management, not just owning cows. Learn first, invest wisely, and stay consistent.

Before I recover from the period from the previous month before, next month’s period has already arrived. This is not life.

Today, I introduced myself to this Haitian grandma and mentioned I was bilingual (English/French).

She immediately retorted, do you not speak a native language from your country? To which I reply, yes.

So you're Trilingual🤦‍♂️

Ashey colonialism don get me since.

Bro to Bro:

Don't talk down on things you've achieved.
It may not what you want yet, but it is progress.

Respect it.

Quality coffee starts with quality storage. Green coffee should be kept in a clean, dry, well-ventilated warehouse, with sacks stored on pallets to preserve every bean. ☕

[farmer_cist @grace_orji73673]

If you go into farming with the mindset that it is a quick way to make money, you may give up before the money ever comes.

There has to be something driving you beyond profit.

Because there will be seasons when prices crash. There will be times when pests attack. There will be days when the weather doesn't favour you.

Real farmers don't disappear because one season went badly.

They learn, adjust, plant again, and keep going.

The profit is important, but it shouldn't be the only reason you're on the farm.

What keeps you going when farming gets tough?

Each time an app asks me in the middle of a task if I’m enjoying said app my answer is automatically no, don’t stress me.

Sometimes when you suffered too much, enjoyment go look like crime.

When you see quality good looking harvest from @sFarmLab
you'll ask yourself if this is from Nigeria!

We are used to seeing badly handled food that when we see food products managed with quality standards we think this is not normal.

There's no physical difference between GMO /Organic/hybrid. You can't differentiate any of this with physical appearance.

Also, eating GMO doesn't do anything to you. Nigerians have been eating GMO for years. GMO doesn't cause cancer. What causes cancer is the uncontrolled use of chemicals/pesticides/insecticides to control pest on and even preserving these foods.

Imagine using sniper to preserve beans, isn't that calling for cancer? Many of the pesticides used are cancerous in nature but farmers still uses them.

If you see good looking vegetables, it means the farmer and retailers took care of their goods. Buy them eat them and be nourished!.

[Kunmi Àgbà Farmer @kunmigbenga]

A pepper being shiny or attractive doesn’t mean it’s GMO. You can’t identify a GMO crop just by looking at it. Good seed varieties, proper nutrition, and good post-harvest handling can also produce smooth, shiny peppers. Let’s be careful not to spread misinformation…food safety should be based on evidence, not appearance.

Met two geriatric clients who were on it before we met.
1. Female, post menopausal, diabetic with osteoporosis. Did nothing for her hence why her daughter insisted she sought help
2. Man in his 60's , hypertensive and on amlodiphine. Took it without his Gps knowledge, had to stop and take dietary measures as well as take stress management seriously.

My sample may be poor but it's what's I seen and I'm glad to contribute to the data pool.

...'offended' on his behalf. Apparently, I was 'disrespectful', he was an elderly man so I should not have spoken up.

Good thing was this daddy was very reasonable, stepped back, apologised and everything. He genuinely did not realise he was so close to me.

[Dorothy, Not Dorathy 🪐 @Dottie900]

Yesterday I was in front of a line in the hospital, the man behind was standing a bit too close to me so I very kindly and quietly spoke up only for the woman beside me (who should have been behind him, but Nigerians hate to queue) to burst into an angry laugh because she was...

NAFDAC tested 314 tomato paste samples sold across Lagos markets.

286 of them — 91.1% — failed to meet the minimum standard for tomato paste.

Most of the failed samples in that survey were imported products, originating from China.

See how to check the next tin you buy.

[NOSKI💥 @cadeszworld]

@kenkenlewu Diagnosing fresh pepper as GMO and linking it directly to cancer just because it looks too shiny and clean in the market is a wild stretch.

[naijafemalefarmer @naijafemalefama]

Stop the habit of mis-informing the public, how can you say you identify a GMO product by site, are you a farmer? Did you buy a little quantity to cut open and saw that it is GMO? So because it is shiny and attractive makes it GMO? Please buy lands and plant your food crops
