My dogs are still puppies, needless to say they are also dead too, but since you and Callie Trinity are just little boys who are yet to grow to have their emotional bubbles controlled, lemme feed you.
A coward don't stay alone in a jungle, a weak man don't own possession of over 10 acres of land with building & structures on it.
Every livestock lost is replaceable but a single act from me can cause a big set back for the project if not terminate it, a weak man will not think this way just because emotions don't rule us.
Kai what a waste of a man... Hìtch arse weakling. Re you still seeking our sympathy for your uselessness? You have failed at even protecting your own flock now what do you want us to do?
Trance indeed.useless weak beta male ... I am sure you are the sort of person who wakes up everyone in the house to tell them he is going to bed. Serves you right
You're correct and I believe everything comes in stages, I've discussed with my lawyer and I'm pleased to know that it doesn't come expensive to have a pump action, licensed it and easier to use.
Don't start that which you can't finish. You don't want a situation whereby you're constantly looking over your should + getting dirty with people who other than their (miserable) life, have nothing to loose makes very little sense.
It could be difficult winning a battle where you are not just outNumbered, but don't know all your opponents. Any one of their friends or distant relative(s) could give you a shot while you're on the busStop and that alone, could isolate the issue making it nearly impossible to know the motive or perpetuators.
Funny enough, you still dey find how to get a gun, when your opponent(s) might already own gun(s).
To acquire a gun is very simple, either get one illegally / legally, or if you own the land and live there sometimes, you're automatically a member of the landLord association so you could join their Vigilante group (doesn't mean you must do the Vigilante sef so long you attend some of their meetings and pay your dues) and you would own a gun.
Jollos: U are a coward true true. Am sorry to tell you that, but is the fact. The day I caught one guy stealing my pig, the kind beating I gave him, if he steal again in his life, then is not ordinary eye.
Except u stole ur investment money and is nothing to u if everything is gone while u fold ur hand and watch.
Life is a battle, is either u won or u loose.
You are the real coward and let me add a big fool. You got away with beating a thief and that makes you strong and smart.
When it's your turn for what the OP is going through, commit laws into your hands and see what being a strong man can land you into.
Ted4real: Have developed and maintained a cocoa, palms, cashew and Avocado farms from 6 years with nursery sessions inclusive and I know how to use a good rural philosophy on the 3 host communities and we weren't attack or our plants infringe in a day. You cannot be risking your life staying awake in order to catch a thief who can maim or kill you and the investment will go on. 07030919616 WhatsApp me as I have the antidote for that.
Between cocoa, cashew and coconut, which is more profitable?
Because i am still researching.
I plan on leasing 100 acres of land for the plantation.

After the second consecutive attack on our farm and I finally decided to find time to make an official report at the police station, a piece of advice the DPO gave after being briefed about our case keep ringing on my head, his words were "Mr. Oludipe, I've read your statement and I can feel how much labour you've poured into your project and the least expected is the current happening but you have to ensure that you don't take laws into your hand once the perpetrators are caught because it's dangerous to you and your project" which I replied with, Sir, it will only take the Grace of God for me not to take laws into my hand especially if the person is caught red handed then he smiled and truly, it took the Grace of God for me not to respond after the recent biological attack on our farm.
For those who has not been following, here is the link to the initial attacks https://www.nairaland.com/7411904/could-reason-why-farm-poisoned and the series of recent attacks started probably on the 25th of December 2022 and it was a planned attack. They made sure I had left the ranch for Christmas, their village is just by the main and only road and they knew my car and could also confirm if I am on the farm since I'm the only one that currently works here aside the fact that they are our neighbors next to us and could really get close and even sneak in closer to observe our far from a few distance without being noticed, that was the ploy used when our farm was first poisoned and our only crime is our animal graze on their farm.
initially I believed they are going to be asset and thought good things about them as I even plan for the farm, with solar powered irrigation, I've imagined how our irrigation system will power our farm and their for them to remain in business especially since they are pepper farmers and earns every 5 days but only during the rainy season while they're mostly jobless in dry season. But the truth is after I got closer to them, I see how massive their envy and jealous is. They are 3 in number, one Yoruba who happens to be their leader and two cotonue boys, their leader was born in 1985 (inscription from his stomach) while the two boys should be from mid 90s. They specialises in killing, kidnapping and murdering animals that grazes on their farmland but the community is getting wider and livestock are having access to farmland that are closer and while some close lands are being used to plant cocoa which income comes like twice in year, they are perennial farmers, plant corn, pepper and some tubers. Pepper for instance can be picked and sold every 5 days for 6months - 7months and that's having more than enough money to run a family, do village big boy and smoke some Igbo steadily.
So I approached them, apologize for the encroachment of their land, requested for what to pay which they turns dow, told them about our current difficulties, begged them to be patience as we solve those difficulties and promised to settle them better as we've started settling every farmers from the proceed of logs of wood that we have. at that time, we have over 5 acres of land under a very thick forest with over an half a million naira estimate in terms of the firewood. There are 3 farmers in close proximity and settling everyone of them with good amount from the log proceed is never a problem.
So fast forward to the recent attack, I left the farm on the 24th December 2022 at around 9:15pm, reason is to ensure that my car is not seen because I envisage the attack after our animals graze again on their farm. We are in the height of dry season and we don't have a fodder yet while we can't also keep them on dried cassava peels. The shee all that had already pregnant and had never graze outside our farm are left to graze everyday while the goats graze once in every 3 days just to help their rumen remain in good ph. But to goats, plants like cassava leaves smells like the way jollof rice would smell to human. After they finished the cassava leaves on our farmland I reduced their grazing to once a week and it's always monitored, I go out with them and ensure they don't leave my sight but they are not satisfied, I never knew they've pulled a prison break on me until after the 3 day so they've grazed 2 full day outside the guided perimeter without knowing until my attention was called that they are grazing outside and i have to look closer at their house and blocked the exit. I went to see our neighbors on the 23rd December 2022, begged them, asked for what we should pay which the insisted nothing and reiterate on the logs we intend to settle everyone but forgiveness is not in their book which made me understand that there is more to their action beyond the plant that was grazed on.
None of the animals were sick before I left but by the time I came back on the evening of 26th December 2022 after spending nights consecutively with my family for the first time since August 26th that we've been here, I resumed to sick animals, a pregnant nursing mother sheep and a weaned young ram. They are just unable to walk and I thought it was because they haven't grazed since straight 48hrs because I left a strict warning never to let loose the animals while I left enough food both cassava peels and formulated feed.
And by the morning of 27th, they are dead. Both! But we are still in the mood of celebration, I palm it, processed both, the matured was roasted and the baby for our dogs. Not until the death toll reaches 4 with the same style of death starting from disoriented walk to loss of appetite, inability to walk then bloat and death. I sat to tackle the initial sickness that resembles listeriosis (lack of calcium), called our feed supplier and told me it's not from the feed, he had the courage to say so after the death toll reaches 4 and I believed because he's a professional and I've also gave them calcium gluconate injection, then the next that came to my mind is why would a bloat not go? I've rescued more than 4 animals since we came and by the following day they are ok so why would a bloat automatically leads to death? So I thought of post mortem.
All these animals are healthy before I left, we are in the dry season and there are hardly bloat causing plant so something else is affecting the rumen so I went to check where I emptied the rumen of the recent animal and viola I saw the foreign object that blocks the rumen and put more weight on their lover body that then causes the disoriented walking before finally bloating which is the last stage before death. A circle that leads to death no matter what I do to save them.
I knew it was an attack and since it's the only sheep that are the victim because they are allowed to graze outside, I thought about checking their grazing route and by the time the death toll reaches 7 with the same death pattern and even after they are no longer allowed. to graze outside I knew the it's their house and viola I saw 2 of the bait. A twine cut into pieces and knotted them soaked. Twine are fibres, ruminants likes fibers and the oil makes it more palatable in their mouth till the swallow and get stuck in their stomach.
Now our flock has reduced, to just 3 animals, a mother, a child and a father (ram). I was calling places to keep them just to save them but no one is available then I said to myself tonight, I'll be watching over them disrespect of how tired I would be, but my spirit says no I shouldn't because it's not as if I don't know the perpetrators but the thought sounds foolish and I discarded it, I brace up myself but the thought still coming back and I keep discarding it so I went to bed earlier, set my alarm and started thinking about best place to stay till it's 3am when cock crow then I stood up and was led to a portion at the back of the goat house close to the boundary river, as I laid carefully, that thought came again and said "you're making a mistake, this is not your battle and if you fight it you will loose", I asked why and the spirit said the perpetrator would never have expected me to be around least alone have cutlass with me and by the time I caught him i wont be able to curtail my anger and a single strike is all it takes rubbish all my efforts, labor and dreams about the project and also probably be behind bars then the DPO will remind me of his fatherly words we had in his office. It was the Grace I asked for that was speaking to me since the moment I conceived the thought to catch the perpetrator.
At about 4:15am, January 11 Wednesday 2023 after being in trance for almost 40 minute, the person came, saw our dogs by the river, chased them as they came to our land, never knew they followed me and he also crossed to our land, heads straight to the back of the goat house and within few seconds, he's back to the river, wet his pepper and left.
Now when he crossed and heads to the goat house, the spirit that was talking to me was silent, I had an option of turning on the light and I wanted to but my heart raced into other few actions that would have followed after switching on the lamp, I'll have stood up, held the machete and swing from his neck downward to his chest and that would have been the end. I saw it but Grace withered my whole body from acting. When he went back to the river to water the pepper that same spirit asked again " is this who you wanted to be fighting?, is this who you would have risk aborting the project for?" I said no, he is not worth it, nothing is worth it.
I stood up minutes after he left, heads to the goat house but sadly the last mother sheep has eaten the knotted twine he three bringing the total victim of the biological attack on our farm to 9 pregnant sheep and a ram.
At the moment, we have completed our irrigation casting and covered the are with chainlink net. Here is the video of our irrigation system https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Bo3Mhc6WI8
Let people tag you a weak person; but I believe that you are strong. Don't worry, the set back you are facing presently will be part of your success story in the future. Pls maintain the solid character you have built overtime. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Yes, I'm settling them once I'm able to sell the logs of firewood but I met with them, begged them to be patience with me, I've got firewood worth over 500k but since they've took action, I'll be giving them peanuts instead of settling them handsomely as I've initially planned while the rest money will go into restocking.
You're not just a coward, you're wicked. You grabbed someone's land and you are coming here yo lay complaint? Your animals even grazed on someone's farm? You're wicked.
CallmeTrinity: You are a coward , weak man and a coward 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Foolish man confusing fear with spiritual advise. That was your cowardice talking ... Weak willed coward 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
You are a so weak and a coward. You know who is killing your flock and you are too much of a coward to defend your investment 🤣
Even the Nigerian law recodnizes self defense. The moment someone steps foot on your property and is killed the law recodnizes your right to defend your life and properly and won't persecute you so you are talking.trash..
You are just a coward who has been bullied and his investments wiped off because you are too weak and cowardly to pick up a machete and lay a trap...
Foolish man ,trying hard to make his cowardice look like a virtue ..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've watched your video, that attacked body part of the ram indicate Jaguar 🐆 is responsible for the attack. Jaguar is a giant wild cat looking like cheetah. It attack it prey from neck from behind just as leopard attack the neck and pluck out prey throat.
And to experience this brutal killing definitely your farm must be in a very thick jungle.

Please how old are you? Do you even know the law? Pls be careful with this your half-baked knowledge cos the law does not recognise ignorance as excuse o.
Bigchristo: People like this spew nonsense can’t even defend themselves when the time comes, You speak nonchalantly like you don’t understand the system of this country where judgement is overturned, the reporter can be accuser when it comes to the same Nigeria law you speak about, let me share my little experience with you for your sense to come back to life, dated back 2001 when I was still doing petty jobs I work with a pure water factory as a manager then, the compound of that place have a big space where there are crops like yam n corn 🌽 being cultivated aboki bring in their cow and scatter all the crops eat the entire crops, I got there early morning and still meet the Aboki and the cows I signal some guys in the area to join me we apprehended him and beat when we take aboki to the station for that matter even the police came to inspect the said crops that was destroyed do you know I was arrested and detained for that matter? Just Dey play

What type of human beings do we have on the forum? Instead of showing empathy, the victim is being vilified and called coward. Oga, sorry for your loss. Please never take laws into your own hand. You may appear weak this way, but at the end you will see you are the strong one here. Just follow do process to get justice. There's that appeal of immediate self- satisfaction from taking the law into your hand but it's just a mirage. The self-satisfaction is always short-lived before the reality of your crime sets in. As bad as they are, use law enforcement agency. Finally, find how you can work with them. You cannot do without being in good terms with the host community.

You're very correct sir, I'm alone here and its the middle of the jungle, if I'm able to get a drone, I would have shot an area video, the dude calling me coward can't spend a night here let alone setting up anything and guess what? When the community chased us from the mosque, we set up a tent to continue the project, that was in 2021. I'm emotionally more balanced for anyone to finger my mental state over what us replaceable.
Mr. man I won't insult you but you are forcing me to say you are such a fool. Even if you won't attack the person doing all this to you why won't you switch the light on and see the face of the evil person or you are scared he will beat you or what? I am sure if he knows you saw his face he won't even come there again but you allowed him to go and you come here to Nairaland to say what ?
Don't start that which you can't finish. You don't want a situation whereby you're constantly looking over your should + getting dirty with people who other than their (miserable) life, have nothing to loose makes very little sense.
It could be difficult winning a battle where you are not just outNumbered, but don't know all your opponents. Any one of their friends or distant relative(s) could give you a shot while you're on the busStop and that alone, could isolate the issue making it nearly impossible to know the motive or perpetuators.
Funny enough, you still dey find how to get a gun, when your opponent(s) might already own gun(s).
To acquire a gun is very simple, either get one illegally / legally, or if you own the land and live there sometimes, you're automatically a member of the landLord association so you could join their Vigilante group (doesn't mean you must do the Vigilante sef so long you attend some of their meetings and pay your dues) and you would own a gun.
You're very correct, I've rated my priorities and my goal is to be fruitful in this jungle, I understand things will come to this stage and I've braced up my mental state never to be fingered, I've been having problems with the community since I came, the first person that made a similar move before me left abruptly only with a tent, his business was meant to be a garri processing plant then i came, had several problems from clearing tall palm trees by our boundary close to our structure (house), had problems making accessible road, several times I've seen charms hung close to my entrance and a lot more, many things ive experience were never told to my family, I just smile over them and remain focused on the goal, becoming one of them to get a dane gun is not an option, getting a pump action and get it licensed at a moment is considered a luxury especially when I have several things to resolve with money.
I understand I'm passing through a phase and becoming violent with the host will never resolve this phase rather than complicating it further.
