CrimeRe: Photo Of The 23-Year-Old Man Sentenced To Death For Stealing Android Phone by akhis: 6:57pm On Mar 29, 2017
Nigerians should learn to understand issues before jumping to conclusion. This guy in question did not just steal a phone, he killed his victim during the stealing act. We should check for facts first. The judgment was because of the killing not because of the phone. Infact he disguised and asked his victim to borrow him a phone to call someone that he was stranded and he ended up killing the victim

Thanks but whereby farmers are not handy nko...I'm planning on constructing a mini soak away with blocks where the feaces can be flushed through a pipe into the soakaway.how about that?
This is a good idea but the issue with this is that the soak away could get filled quick. Also, in dry season you may not be able to burn it off. If u have a space, u can spread it on it but preferably, dig a hole and drop only the waste and with time, it will dry up and u can burn off.

@dyydxx 30Tons of that is sand filling is 18k, if is very full it will make 22Bags @ 2250 = 49,500 of cement for 50Bricks per bag x 22 = 1,100
18000+ 49,500 = 67,500 (cost of sand & cement)
67,500÷1100 = 61.3
Cost per brick is 61.3 naira
Oga this your analysis is not very correct. You did not add the cost of labour per bag. You did not add cost of water if you are to buy. when i was constructing my pen last year, cost per labour per bag was 650 I dont know how much they charge at your end

cassava peels is beta but both are good,hope you add enzymes to there feeds so as to Aid digestion,what other source of protein do u use cos Pkc has more fiber so there shld be other source of protein
I use PKC and add some blood meal to it from abattoir. As per the enzymes you mentioned, wont that come naturally from the protein? I have been using the other type, maybe I will switch to the pill that you mentioned. As for weaners, what type of composition would you recommend that is also cheap?

Pls, drain the pond by covering the pipe mouth with net. Pick out the dead.
Separate the weak from healthy ones.
Put them in separate bowls containing little amount of water. Apply procaine penicilline(injection powder). Pour out the water after 2-3mins and re-stock d healthy ones first, then d unhealthy after 15-20hrs or 1day.
...to be continue.
Thanks alot. I treated them and the mortality has reduced very well. Seems my inexperience in counting here

Hello Hous. Finally I have started my small fish farm but I need help. Pls dont mind me, a beginner. I stocked my fish on Sunday and started feeding on Monday morning. As at date, I have recorded mortality of almost 100. I stocked I350 in a pond of 8by16 feet pond. (Concrete). I called my supplier and he said I should treat the fish with injection powder, salt, ampiclox and chlorophenicle. (I hope I spelt it well) He also said I should use vital plus as well. I just did that today and am praying things improve soon. Pls what could have been the cause? What am I doing wrong. I feed the fish with 1.8 coppens.
CrimeRe: Driver Steals Master’s ATM Card, Withdraws N2.7m (photo) by akhis: 5:38pm On Aug 11, 2016
flyca:
How long can be used to withdrawn 2.7million from an ATM? For most banks, daily limit is N100K. That means it happened in a space of at least one month? If he took 100K er day, it would take him 27days to withdraw N2.7million. That means oga boss did not receive or make calls with his business line over this period?

To be honest, I think his boss exagerated.
Gt Plantinum card does 200k per day. at club he may use POS the leaves him to use unlimited. So in a week, that money can actually go
Nairaland General10 Common Words Nigerians Use Everyday, But Which Don't Exist by akhis(op): 10:16pm On Aug 07, 2016
Many people speak English as their first language. It is one of the most commonly spoken languages in the world.

Nigerians are very good at a number of things and one of them is inventing their own version of English which has become popular overtime.

Some of the words and phrases we use often cannot be found in the dictionary. Some are words you picked up from others and they have become quite a norm.

It is not only the uneducated folks that are guilty of using these wrong words as the very educated Nigerians also use the English language inappropriately.

Below are words Nigerians use that don’t exist in the English dictionary.

1. Go-slow: When Nigerians say go-slow, they mean congested traffic, which is wrong. The meaning of go-slow in the English dictionary is, a form of industrial action in which work or progress is deliberately delayed or slowed down.

2. Disvirgin: This word is used on a daily basis by many Nigerians when they intend to say a woman has lost her virginity. There is no word like disvirgin. The correct word to use is deflower. Disvirgin simply does not exist.

3. Trafficate: Nigerians use the word to describe a situation where a driver indicates to other drivers that he/she wants to take a turn. It is used so often, that it has started to sound like proper English.

4. Flashing: Every Nigerian knows “flashing” to mean when someone calls your mobile phone and cuts off before you answer. The word ‘flash’ is so common among Nigerians and its used at least once daily by many. Flash has different meanings but none has anything to do with a phone call. The word doesn’t exist in that sense in English.

5. Installmentally: Don’t be tempted to use the word ‘installmentally’. Though it sounds correct, it isn’t. There is no such word in the English dictionary as it exists only in the Nigerian edition of English language. The correct thing to say is ‘in installments’.

6. Opportuned: What exists in English dictionaries is ‘opportune,’ without ‘d’ at the end. Opportune means ‘timely’ or ‘well-time, especially convenient or appropriate for a particular action or event. Opportuned is only common in Nigerian English.

7. Cunny: This is a word which Nigerians use to describe someone that is being deceitful or crafty. The right word is cunning not cunny.

8. Next tomorrow: Most Nigerians generally use “next tomorrow” but there is not such word as next tomorrow. Instead you should say, “a day after tomorrow."

9. Packer: Nigerians probably got the word from pack. The right word is dustpan. Since dustpan packs dirt, Nigerians like to call it packer.

10. Pepperish: It is common to hear Nigerians describe a meal that has too much pepper in it as pepperish. The proper word should be ‘peppery’. No native English speaker uses the word pepperish” to describe the burning sensation we feel from eating pepper.

Which of these words are you guilty of?
You can add yours.

Ttalk:
This is a very good work, may God continue to strengthen our effort. However i will advice insert pillars most especially in between the L of 16 feet to make your pond solid since you didnt bind it with iron after the second coach of block.

Where is your location sir, and you source of water supply?
My Location is Itori in Ewekoro and I already have a bore hole for the water supply.

I did not put pillars primarily becos of cost by am filling the block holes especially the angles up with concrate.
Do you have a pond already? Where is your farm and how have you been faring?

aoladayo:
Congratulations on the mile stone achievement, be sure to solidify that walls by filling the block holes with concrete/stones/gravels/sand.

It's great but if you are intending to go 1250 you should split it into the 4ponds to avoid over crowding, else some fish will not feed well and will have to result to sorting them out separately for separate care and feeding.

Net covering is perfect to guide against predators.
The roof I'm not sure it's necessary as that might be extra cost u can make Ur net cover half canopy half net instead.

Good luck and God's best


Thanks alot @ aoladayo. You are that the roofing willbe more cost and infacta thats why am just coverying just two for now . I thought about the canopy but my fear was there could be less ventilation if I have to cover some parts with canopy. The temperaturein that locationwhen its sunning is very hot and am avoiding issues that could arise feom the water
going hot and all the fish dying from hot water
. I have asked them to fill the block holes with broken blocks and concrete just as u advised. Thanks alot

Hello House great morning. I have been following and evetually started my pond construction of 8x16x4. Picture is attached. I was inspired by what I read hear, what I saw in my brothers farm and the abundance of magots in my present pig farm. Pls I will appreciate any criticism and advise to move this ministry to permanent site.
I intend covering the ponds with a net and also have a roof to avoid direct sun cos its always very hot here. I intend starting with 1250 juveniles with one pond only for now.

This so story is so watery. Tje so called unamed source which the writer used non try. The writer should have at least visited Benin. The throne to Oba is NEVER contested unlike other western states. From the day a heir is born, its known to be the next Oba except he dies before the Oba which has always been unlikely. So why will he say the contention. Some of us know the reason the news about the death was kept and norlt some craps as reported bu the author
