“…The results of these studies suggest that deficiency of N, P or K in the tomato plants could be detected at early flowering (seven weeks from sowing) by sampling the fifth leaf. Earlier work by Akinyemi and Sobulo (1970) indicated that the maximum nutrient demand of tomato was at 13 weeks after sowing for three varieties, including Ife 1 used in this study, but that yield is not likely to be affected when nitrogen is applied before this period. Berbieri (1965) claimed that tomatoes benefited when nitrogen was applied in three split dressings, namely at planting, before flowering and when the first ripe fruit was harvested.…”

The fifth leaf of tomato plants sampled at the early flowering stage (seventh to eighth week after sowing) gave good assessments of N, P and K requirements of the tomato crop growing in the field but total N was less useful than nitrate-nitrogen for diagnosing nitrogen needs. The levels of critical N, P and K in the crop were 0-4 per cent NO 3 -N, 0-4 per cent P and 4 per cent K, with severe deficiencies when levels were less than o -1, 0-15 and 2 per cent respectively.

“…For half a century, every few years, and sometimes daily for months, a Nigerian press storm laden with scandal and outrage formed over Fernando Pó (Akinyemi 1970: 243; Ejituwu 1995: 45; Obadare 2001: 85; Falola and Fleming 2005: 152). Journalistic exposés contained interviews with deported politically active labourers who told ‘newsmen in Calabar that they had suffered “the most inhuman, hellish and brutal treatment” they ever had heard of in their lives’ – principally at the hands of the colonial police.…”

Dash-peonage: the contradictions of debt bondage in the colonial plantations of Fernando Pó

Dash in pidgin English means an ancillary gift to an exchange. What happened when the dash became attached to the indentured labour contracts that the Spanish Empire brought from Cuba to their last colony, Spanish Guinea? On the island of Fernando Pó, which came to be almost wholly populated by Nigerian labour migrants, the conditional gift in the form of a large wage advance produced a particularly intense contradiction. In the historiography of unfree labour, the excess wage advance is thought to create conditions for the perpetuation of bondage through debt. However, in imperial contexts, the wage advance did not generate compliance and immobility; exactly the opposite – it produced unprecedented waves of further escalation and dispersed flight. The dash was pushed up by workers themselves and relayed by informal recruiters. Together they turned this lynchpin of indentured labour and debt peonage into a counter-practice that almost led to the collapse of the plantations in the 1950s. The trajectories of the dash led to a more pointed version of the foundational thesis of global labour history: namely, that it was actually free labour, not unfree labour, that was incompatible with labour scarcity-ridden imperial capitalism.
