I keep saying it, and will not stop saying, a typical Nigerian Fulani man or woman is not capable of killing, a Nigerian Falani man is usually very much afraid of Uniform men or law enforcement agent, I am from the eastern part of Nigeria and have encountered the real Nigerian fulani men with their cows in the forest on several occasion of which I stop and have good conversation with them on several. The blood testy nomads who goes about in most Nigerian villages killing and maiming life and properties are not fulanis, these people some times are Malian, Tchadians and Nigeriens, they are self sponsored by their beast lords for the purpose of dis-integrating our great nation. It's high time we get united as a nation to fight this foreign beast who have a sole aim of making sure that we dont have peace in this nation. I was born, brought up and bread in the north. 4 Likes 1 Share |

[quote author=Ymodulus post=45460858] Tomatoes is also been imported from Benin and Togo into Nigeria. Did a quick search before I type rubbish and found out there's a big farm (Songhai Farms) in Port Novo that grow tomatoes in commercial quantity. Port Novo is less than 2 hours away from Idiroko. The climate is the same, the soil type is probably be the same. Now the question: Why dafuck do we not have large tomato farms in such areas? 4 Likes 1 Share |

Let his operational pedigree speak for him. I tested him with small money and he frustrated my life with that. I was glad the money wasn't more than that.

hahahahaahh hear yourself,you bought an anti malaria drug manufactured in a company where bill gate is the investor and you say he gave you a 20% discount,i would call that good marketing strategy ,by the way i would advice you to check which sickness that drug gives you because bill gate believes the world is over populated and some people should be killed,definitely not whites.so that leaves people like you stainlex: |

Nice read. I have discussed something like this before and I have a thread which has helped many people understand this: https://www.nairaland.com/1163912/funds-not-business-actually-need I have also always maintained that there is a huge demand for all these products. However, my approach was that people should plant these vegetables including tomatoes in Nigeria and make more profit. Imagine, you planting the tomatoes and then selling instead of importing it. Ymodulus has done good for himself and I like his business mind. I will implore that he gets a land and start cultivating this product here in Nigeria together with his import and later when his farm is sustainable, he can reduce the import. In this way, the money stays within Nigeria and helps the economy. And all other youthful mind wanting to jump into this business must think this way...What if I can plant this crop myself?. My thread has explained the potentials and how any type of tomatoes can grow in any part of the world. It was something we did in our little garden in Ondo State with just little fertilizer, our tomatoes were bigger than most bigger tomatoes in the market and for a year we had continuous supply of tomatoes. I explained all these in my thread. You can also read of other business ideas; areas untapped that people can go into. Not everybody can go into the commodity business. No matter how good Ymodulus explains to you, you can't understand until you start and feel it yourself. I did some business years ago in the area of bringing down yams from the North to sell in Lagos and so on. I had to learn the risks when losing and then gained afterwards. In short, please let us encourage Nigerian produce....let the planting begin. Check the thread for other areas you can tap. 5 Likes 1 Share |
