Dairy Contest 22: Pre-planting Operation
Good evening the beautiful people in steemit entrepreneur. It was a stressful day for me today. In my side Akwa Ibom State in Nigeria, almost everyone is preparing for the new planting season ahead. A lot of people have started clearing their farmlands, waiting for the first rain of the season.

I organized some friends few days ago to come and assist me to clear the land. Some of them came with the hope of getting paid. Of course that's what they do for a living. I debated the price with them and we came to an agreement and I fixed a day for the work which was today.
However, my siblings and I made the preparation very early in the morning. We cook soup that the workers will eat during the clearing process. My brother helped in sliding the vegetable that was used for the soup.

While the food was still in the process, I gathered all the matchets that we were to use for the clearing and sharpened them one after the other.
Before 6:00 am, the boys were already in our compound and we head out to the bush. We started clearing the farm joyfully and with gists. It was a large plot of land and we were just four in number. We cleared more than half the portion of the land before my siblings brought food and we suspended the clearing and ate the food. Although, the boys did not permit me to snap them while eating, but the food was very delicious.
After eating we went back to the clearing of the remaining portion. My siblings made the work fun-filled. My little boy was not left behind. He wanted to catch all the birds flying over his head. He screamed constantly in a bit to shout Catch it!

We enjoyed every bit of the work. Although, we were tired, but my siblings and my little boy added for to it that we almost forgot the work was huge.

Moreover, before 3:30 pm, we were able to clear the entire bush. I was very happy because I thought we would not be able to clear the land in a day. I appreciated the boys for the work well done. We washed our hands and legs, and we returned to our compound.
I paid the two boys that I hired the sum of #3000 each. The other person was just assisting me. I couldn't let him go just like that, and so I gave him #1,500 to buy soap as an appreciation.
Right now my entire body is aching me. I expected that. But it is the season of planting and so, I have to get myself prepared. The clearing part is done. We are looking forward for the first rain to signal in order for us to go and burn the bushes. After that comes the planting proper.
Hi @emmathompson it's wrong to repeat your post in different communities over and over again, it's called self plagiarism.

I'm urging you to desist from this act.
Alright, I have heard you. Besides I am a newbie and I really appreciate your advice.
Really? Do you mean you were not informed?
@destinedhanik what do you have to say about this?
Yes, I wasn't. But I have taken note about that.
Really?
I warned you, didn't I?
@goodybest, thanks for calling my attention to this. Please let me explain in details. My colleague in school was interested in steemit, her name is Edaramfon. I told her how to open it and I asked her to meet me let me put her through, that I never for once learnt online, rather I was taught physically.
I was surprise when @emmathompson here whom I have never met or known in person used my name to open it, I dint know what relationship my colleague has with him, I have never spoken to this @emmathompson and I know nothing about him. Please I'm really sorry for whatever has transpired, but my only mistake was telling my colleague, Edaramfon about steemit and she went ahead to do things with my name. She didn't even take permission from me before giving my name to this person. I'm apologizing, this has taught me a lesson.
@destinedhanik, first I would like to say thank you for introducing my friend into steemit. I am sorry she didn't have the chance to come to you in person for ideas and as you said, I couldn't come to you for the said understanding of the platform. Yes, I made the mistake. I am not proud about it. There's no one above mistake and I am very sure you must have made mistakes elsewhere aside from this platform. It was not a mistake introducing my friend to it. I am very sure Steemit will like people to introduce people into this platform and as matter of fact, being a help to someone else is not a bad exercise. Yes, I made the mistake and I am not afraid to face the consequences after all it is not a do or die affair. Stop making it look as if you were doing the wrong things for us. Yes, we couldn't come physically for you to train us but we weren't staying close. But I can remember vividly how many chats with questions we asked you concerning the platform and you rarely answered. We thought we were bothering you so much and decided to try it ourselves. It is even @goodybest whom has been correcting some of our mistakes. Trying to put us in line. However, no problem. You are a sister and I wouldn't want you to regret helping us. You are not a part of this problem and I am using this moment to apologize to you and to the community I valuated their rules. I really don't need blames right now, all I need is the way forward please. I appreciate.
@emmathompson, like I said, it's all about sacrifice. I can't remember paying my way to meet ettete to show me some things in steemit. Please, you fo not have any excuses, I have spent money going over to someone who was far away to teach me, but anyway I passed my message, thank you.
@emmathompson or Edaramfon, please I can remember telling you that Miss Nsisong taught me steemit physically, and you have never met me to explain anything to you. It's called sacrifice, I have introduced Mr Dabby and Enobong, the student, and they are doing things right.
I'm not happy that you are doing the wrong things and I'm mentioned cos I introduced you to it. I'm not happy at all. Please if you can't meet someone to teach you, remove my name, cos I never complicated things for Nsisong who taught me. Thank you.
I apologize for doing the wrong thing, it was really intentional. Being mentioned here doesn't mean you are directly involved in this mistake I made. And I like said. Forget about the mistake and help me rectify the problem. I assure you I will not try that again. Do like someone who really wanted Edaramfon to Excel. Ignore the mistake and guide us out if you really care. Thanks and I appreciate
Okay, guys, that's enough; let me get something @destinedhanik: is Edaramfon a user on Steemit? @emmathompson what's your relationship with Edara? Anyway just know that any form of plagiarism is unacceptable on the platform, likewise the use of AI to generate content, so be guided. If you need any help feel free to contact me on Discord: goodybest.
@goodyb4st, thank you so much. There is only one account and that is @emmathompson, so Edara and @emmathompsin are two people handling one account.
Oh, now I get it, but they've not stated it in their introduction, and they have to; also, Dara and Emma have to update their verification photo by standing together and holding a sign with the current date.
