Cameroon steemit Njangi (3SBD) Beneficiary post by @fombae

in Steem Cameroon4 years ago (edited)

Njangi is a local initiative practice in our community, Cameroonian parents especially in my community realized most of their through Njangi. Njangi can be a local means of getting a loan to be paid in a bit, or saving which is done in a bit. This is usually done among friends, and the loan goes without any interest.

  • They are many forms of Njangi:

Financial (fiat currencies): Everyone brings in an equal amount, and it handed to one particular member
Labour( workforce): Everyone come together and give a helping hand to a member (example: Clearing a members farm)
Etc

Steemit Njangi was to create the same njangi initiative for cameroon steemians to come together and contribute 3 SBD to empower a member to achieve a particular goal. While others are saving, some will be paying back their loan, and one person will be the beneficiary for the huge loan of the day.

I will be benefiting from today's payout of the 3 SBD Cameroon Steemit Njangi. I did not mention above, Njangi have rules and specific purpose which have to achieve. Here I will be expected to power up 25% and 75% for a domestic activity of my choice.

How will I used my 75%

We are in the most strenuous period of farming which required time and manpower. Farming is divided into clearing, seedbed preparation, sowing, weeding, and inter cultivation and harvesting.

We passed the period of seedbed preparation and sowing, and it time for weeding and inter cultivation. This is time-consuming, needs energy and manpower. Weeding is done with a hand hoe, pecking of climbing crops, spraying of pesticides. Another problem is the season, we are in the rainy season and it not advisable to work in the rain, so work is done in breaks. For the past years, my mom has been doing this all on her own.

So I will be investing my 75% in employing more hands to help in the weed and inter cultivation, which will help cover more during small breaks of the rainfall. The buying of sticks for the climbing crop, fertilizer, and pesticide for spraying.

Why do I need to do this investment?

It is not advisable to pair plants and weeds, It will cost a great loss in crop yields and quality. So it advisable to take off the weed from the plants, giving the plants more access to water and nutrient from the soil. Lastly, we are using a local mechanism that is labor and energy-demanding.

With this, I will be coming back with results of my 75% in two months which will be the harvest period. I bet your yields this year will be more encouraging than in previous years. Thanks, guys for keeping the spirit, let steem on

Agriculture is the present and most definitely the future...

The ground indeed never deceives us hence investing in it is the best decision you have made because you will see the rewards clearly. It’s a good venture and initiative that will also assist your sweet mother because weeding can be very demanding and draining too but thank God more workforce will be joining her. This is definitely what every mother will wish for from their children.

@fombae, wow from your beneficiary post i can tell that there are two powerful njangis running in the @steem-cameroon community,nevertheless i have learnt about types of njangis today that i never knew existed, for example the njangi which entails that members come together and help a single member just like going to farm with them to help them weed or toil the soil, indeed njangis have been one of the major ways that most parents in my community of oku use to pay school fees for their children and also carry out mega projects, i think using your njangi benefits to help your mum with more hands to work in the farm unlike the past years that she use to do it alone will mean alot to her, and as you've said,the yields this year will also be different,we are waiting for you to come testify on steem,lets steem on!

Yeah, some of our parents even completed building projects with Njangi loads or savings. Cameroon steemit Njangi was really a great initiative which will definitely change the life of it members.

Looking at these crops like cassava beans and corn, it just takes me to good memories of me helping my mum in the farm. So sad how she has to weed now by herself and yet I do feel long too when am farming alone too.
Great idea as mum will smile more when you employ some workers to help her with weeding process.

Farming is a hobby I love doing with passion.
Me last year during wedding and trust me when you take off the weed from the plants it gives a bountiful harvest
