samshoz: Exactly.

Chai no try am o. dem go jus die sharply becos dem no like cold at all. u have to build a proper shelter for dem.

samshoz: I would like to learn about grasscutter farming, that can be setup at the backyard. Just teach me and other silent readers what we need to know about such farming. Thanks in anticipation of your responses.

backyard as in an open space at the back of your house?

Buchika: I rented 166 plots of land where I cultivated my cassava 12500 naira total cost plus 2 gallons of palm wine. not up to 2000 naira per hectar and its within awka axis

hmmm thats supprising. I have heard of this before and i'm still wondering how such expanse of land could be leased at a give away price. Is the road to your site motorable?

Buchika: I rented 166 plots of land where I cultivated my cassava 12500 naira total cost plus 2 gallons of palm wine. not up to 2000 naira per hectar and its within awka axis

I think it's safer to own the land on which you farm. Villagers can really frustrate a leasee.

felixzo1: Even in nature there is natural selection (survival of the fittest) it is a form of natural genetic modification. Only animals or plants with certain traits and pest and disease resistance can survival and reproduce.

You are talking about genetic mutations which are indeed natural and is the primary source of evolution. However such phenomenons are rare and can be either advantageous or deleterious to the organism that incurs such. If its deleterious then that gene will either become recessive or extinct but if its beneficial; in that it enables the organism to adapt better, then it spreads through out the population. So the question is "will a genetic mutation that enables a cow to produce 45 litres of milk a day be advantegeous or deleterious?" Well be informed that if such a cow is not milked daily or frequently the over productive cells in the mammary glands could become cancerous.

felixzo1: soo change is invertible, natural or artificial, people are just afraid of changes. There are a lot of natural freaks without man intervention.

Well change that comes naturaly is always for the greater good. Nature has its checks and balance. Humans on the other hand have an obscure and incomplete knowledge of natures intricate and highly efficient machinery. Out of arrogance, we dabble into things that we neither fully comprehend nor control. The long term effect of our blind experimentations often hit us with supprise and dismay.

felixzo1:
A hybrid is simple a crossbreed of related specie/breed. This can happen naturally or artificially. There is a lot of advantages’ to this,
Hybrid vigor, expansion of gene pool, creation of a new breed or variety, disease resistance, higher yields. For example our African oil palm Dura palm has been crossbreed with the pisifera palm of South America to produce a unique breed (tenera palm) which is more productive than either of the parents. Capable of producing 40 liters of palm oil a year against the 10 liters of our local palm

I am not against crossbreeding per se since its still quite a natural process. If any two given related species can mate and reproduce then the laws of nature have not been tampered with. Nonetheless, the problem am trying to shade light on is in regards to the genetic engineering that's carried out in biotech research facilities where abnormal recombinant genetic sequences are created with the aim of expanding agricultural productivity and boost the profit margins of greedy capitalist. Such recombinant sequences can never be reproduced by natural mutations. The scientists behind this dont have a clue of what the long term implications could be. They just act like they know. lol.

felixzo1:
The breed producing 45 liters of milk a day is more than a 100 yrs old cattle breed, milk yield from the cow have increase over the years by mating them with similar dairy breeds to obtain a unique breed,( a dairy breed is a cow that can produce more milk than the calf can consume, and has a long lactation period) such a cow may have a genetic information of 3 different cattle breed ( 3 way cross) or just two distinct cattle breeds.

Again, there are genotypes that cannot be attained via crossbreeding alone. They can only be made possible through genetic engineering.

felixzo1:
Inbreeding (maintaining 100 percent genetic purity of a breed) has more disadvantages in the long run; most notable is disease and retarded growth and poor yields, genetic disorders

I didnt say pure breeds are attained via inbreeding which is when offsprings of the same parents mate. This too is abnormal because the offsprings of such a cross hardly survives due to several chromosomal deficiencies. In fact pure breed are unattainable by human means. They were already given by nature. They are breeds that havent had any kind of exchange of genetic material from another population or specie. Pure breeds are truely rare these days.

felixzo1:
Organic food are grow without use of pesticides or fertilizers, and is not possible in agricultural mechanization (commercial agriculture)

Yea you are right. Thats why massive global engagement in small and medium scale farming is the solution to the sustainable mass production of organic foods. It is also much more efficient than mechanized large scale farming. Cheers.

These abnormalities stem from the indiscipline which is imbibed from home and then promulgates through out society. Parents maintain discipline in your home units. We used to be better.

As the world populatn rises, we have to meet food demand.

Actualy theres enough food to go around is just that some people take more than their fair share. Greed is a global problem.

felixzo1: i am not surprise at your response, i believe you do not know what genetic modification is.it is only in africa we do not carry out any research or invest money on research. this cows have been able to produce this amonth of milk dues to hundred of years of crossbreeding with different cattle breeds selecting the best triats of dairy cattle.i will tell you in the next 50 yrs a cow will produce 100liters of milk.they genes have not been modified in any way.this breeds are develop breeds through research and cross breeding.100 of years have been put into getting this breeds.if you want continue using hoe and cutless to farm while others use tractors and combined harvesters to farm.

The potential of cross breeding is much more limited than genetic modification. In the so called "developed countries" almost every agric produce has been geneticaly modified to meet one condition or the other e.g Fish genes have been tranplanted into tomatoe to boost tolerance to cold temp. Cross breeding uses what is already naturaly available but genetic modification can produce an anomaly. A freak of nature for lack of a better word. A cow that produces 45 litres of milk has been geneticaly modified because nature cannot allow such. Organic food always tastes better than genetic hybrids because the soul of the organism is lost during the process of genetic manipulation. Mechanized farming and genetic modification are unrelated so your reference to it is irrelevant.

Africans sef. To us everything foreign is superior to local content. Look, these foreign breeds have been intensively geneticaly modified via boitech and therefore cannot be classified as pure. Rather its our local breeds that are organic and pure. Its not normal for a cow to produce 45 litres of milk a day. Does a calf need that much milk? That's a genetic disorder. The mammary gland inhibitors have been silenced this allows the over production of milk.

Buchika: umu nne m daalu nuo, abum onye igboukwu. I am into cassava farming and processing, but to tell you the truth it's not easy at all, I started with the wrong foot forward and I lost heavily, was demoralised but now I am understudy ing a successful poultry farmer cause I believe I must surely make it in agriculture. ka ohagodi m etua

Yes that's the spirit. Farming isnt for the faint hearted. Lots of patients, courage and perseverance is required. Just that failure is part of success.

am representing oraukwu but i dey breed grasscutter for 042. My farm is about two months old so i just started. nno nu o.

@dejia this AI you are talking about sounds like its a fertilized egg that's been implanted into your sows and not sperm. In other words your sows serve as surrogates.

oh yea, docs in public service should not be allowed to run private clinics on the side. It will be a distraction.

These docs and their God complex sef. Every proffesion in the health sector is vital and indispensible. They all need to work in synergy if that sector is to function optimally. You arrogant docs cant specialize in all areas so respect yourselves. Besides you lot are underperforming. All those yrs in school with nothing to show for it. I never trusted western medicine.

You are not listening
We all say it is wrong yet show by our dating choices that we prefer the fair skinned ones or those with hair extensions etc calling them sophisticated...
Actions speak louder than words... bro
You cannot divorce actions from the causal factors

No you are the one not paying attention. Ok assuming it's true that most black males prefer fair skins this does not still justify the act of bleaching and other acts of self hate done by black women. It's just like using the materialistic tendencies of modern black women to justify the several evil acts i.e theft, fraud, murder etc perpetrated by some young black males who claim to engage in such activities in order to meet the desires of women. When an adult does wrong, unless physically forced to do so, he or she shall bear full responsibility without regard for "causal factors." Black men are also victims of western and arab indoctrinations so it will come as no supprise if the majority do in fact prefer fair skins and fakery.

pickabeau1:
I will speak for my sisters in this side of the atlantic who are still dependent on men for a lot and not like those on the other side of the atlantic who earn a bit of money
Most Nigerian guys are attracted to fair-skinned ladies, and those who use hair extensions and all the what nots
We cannot divorce ourself from the reality
We also encourage this unwholesome attitude
If you have read the comments of some of the female posters, you will note guys tell them to lighten up etc etc
Im not twisted..Love is cool but before you can change something,, you have to understand it

I dont know if you are male or female but i do know that this issue doesnt require much gramma and semantics. The question that's being addressed is "is it right for a black female to bleach her skin or undergo any artificial alteration of her natural self?" if you, like i and most of the respondents on this thread, know it's wrong then our women ought to be woman enough to accept responsibility for the wrong choices they have made regardless of what ever compelled them to make that wrong choice.

pickabeau1:
lol.. calm down.. why focus on the self hating women and not the men who are attracted to fair ladies and disregard dark skinned ladies

if you are trying to say that black women bleach because black men are attracted to fair skins then you are on a long thing. I have ended a couple of relationships due to my partners rigid self hating frame of mind. What we are dealing with here borders on some sort of psychological pathology. So even when their bf or fiance or hubby advises them to be natural they resist the idea with vehemence and this indicates that their thirst for fakery is way beyond "a supposed attempt at gaining acceptance from the opposite gender." It's just one of many tired excusses. Besides, it wasnt the black man that pushed their women into fakery. It just so happens that the black woman is simply more susetible to western indoctrination and miseducation. She choose that route thinking it's the right way to attain "sophistication." Funny enough you are even doing a disservice to the women by claiming that they do evil so as to please men. That's like saying that their faculty of moral conscience is under-developed and inadequate. lol am calm o. Dont get it twisted. I do this out of love. peace be unto you.

na today? i have been on the case of our self hating women since day 1 and am still here in the wilderness of cyber space reproaching their evil ways. Enough!

Egg is a chicken embryo and is therefore unclean. Why dont you lot eat the fetus of goats and cows etc?

op you are on point. my parents are control freaks; The "my way or the high way" kinda folks but I no send. I do who i am and what i know is right. It's only i that can know wha.t's best for me. I want to be fully responsible for my actions and never blame the next man neither do i want to live with the thought of "what if."

they wore neither wigs weaves nor perm; all natural. With self love and knowledge our sisters can perform wonders. Right now most of them are fake, stuck on self hate and excessive b*llshit. Go figure.
