9 Major Problems Of Farm Mechanization In Nigeria

1.   Land Tenure System: The type of land tenure especially communal land tenure system does not allow for large farm holding suitable for mechanization.


2.   Scattered Land Holding: Scattered farm holding or farms not located in the same place is not conducive or economical for mechanization especially in West Africa.

3.   Poverty: Most o the farmers especially in West Africa are very poor and cannot afford the cost of tractor and farm implements.

4.   Inadequate Machinery/Facilities: The facilities or machinery to fabricate and repair farm implements are grossly inadequate


5.   Topography: Topography of most West Africa countries is bad and  not conducive for farm mechanization.

6.   Varied Soil Types: Soil types vary and the machines used on a type of soil may not be fit for another. For instance, Nigeria depends on imported machinery most of which are not suitable to cultivate our land


7.   Inadequate Spare Parts: Spare parts of these machines are still being imported therefore they are not readily available


8.   Inadequate Technical Manpower: Available technical manpower to operate or service is not adequate




9.   Problem of stumps and logs: During clearing, heavy stumps and logs are usually left behind and they constitute additional problem in mechanization.

How To Remember Anything !

As mentioned in the article previously posted here a person may train their memory by associating names with specific illustrations. This works just as well with written information. There are several key words or a key thought in each paragraph of printed matter that can be associated with an illogical or ridiculous illustration.

It is much easier to remember and recall ridiculous associations than it is to recall normal and uneventful relationships.
As you proceed through any text choose one or several Key words or key thoughts from each subject and relate the same to a ridiculous cartoon or illustration, yes cartoons are done by intelligent programmers.
Actually "see" it in your minds eye as it relates to the key word or key thought.
When you have occasion to remember a particular matter, the "picture" should automatically appear to you and the entire thought should be recalled.
Be sure to SEE the ridiculous picture associated with the printed matter you wish to recall.
As you proceed through a book, practice seeing a picture and relate it to the key words or the main thought of the written material.
This method of learning should improve your ability to retain what you read.
With sufficient "practice" using this method, many individuals will be able to develop a "photo-Type memory.
The Key to this memory system is to "see" the "picture" in your "mind's eye".
After you have practiced and mastered the system and are able to get instant flashback recall you should be able to read most any text material and visualize ridiculous pictures to associate with the thoughts expressed in the printed materials.
We suggest you prove this system to yourself.
As you read the first several pages of information, "see" a picture related to the words or  thought. It may be rather difficult to "see" at first but by constant effort and concentration amazing progress can be made.
When you have seen the picture, just go on reading the following subject matter and repeat the process.
Don't be concerned that you will forget the prior subjects! They should remain imprinted on your mind and recalled later, instantaneously and clearly.
After you have read several pages, recall the first few "mind-pictures".
If you originally "saw" the picture as related to the key thought of the printed material, you should remember
the basic information. Try it!  It's interesting! After you have mastered this learning system, it should be easy to file various programs away in your memory and recall them as needed to progress in your search for success. Have  a wonderful time.
