Idiotic pigs of Buhari will like this ideal grin grin
the purpose of the thread is to ensure that indigenes key into the program.
NEC has suggested it. soon, fg will begin to buy land in states.
it's up to indigenes whether they possess their possessions or leave the ranches for Fulani herdsmen to occupy.
at least you now know it's a lucrative business.

but the cyber urchins who uploaded the picture out of hatred yesterday, chose to upload only the truck like machine so as to let the Nairaland lazy youths who cannot research online kick the bucket so fast due high rise of hatred.
in a way, this is an own goal.
just this week, lai was boasting about all states having bumper harvests and net export of agric produce.
are these implement a matter of duplication of the state govts efforts, or is it that the farmers were all using hoes?

Saudi’s largest dairy farm – Almarai
- Seán Cummins May 15, 2016, 5:00pm

Farm facts:
93,711 cows
72,985 young stock
1.2m litres of milk produced annually
3.45% butterfat
13,500L rolling herd average
41L of milk produced/cow/day
2,750 farm employees

[@ 6.30sar; ($1.68 /l) in Saudi; OR $1.19 in NYC, each cow earns minimum of $ 48.79 /day = N17,564.4, @ 360/$]

=> 10 cows will earn over N170,000/day!; over N510,000/month!!
- op



Almarai is one of the largest dairy farms in the world milking over
93,000 dairy cows in the Arabian Dessert in Saudi Arabia.
Earlier this week, Roger Barkley, the Farm Manager of the Cappoquin
Estate spoke to the Teagasc Dairy Farm Management class about his
seven year stint on Saudi’s largest dairy farm.

“In March 2000, I boarded a plane after the interview process and I
went to work in the Arabian Desert managing 5,000 cows and 146 men.
Barkley said that the operation in the Arabian Desert has grown
considerably over the years, with the farm now employing 2,750
people.
“Back in 2000 Almarai was running five farms with a total of 25,000
dairy cows and 14,000-15,000 replacement heifers on the ground based
over five different farms.
“Now they are managing nearly 95,000 dairy cows and some of the
super farms are up to nearly 25,000 cows,” Barkley said.
Barkley worked on one of Almarai’s operations, managing the day-to-
day running of a 5,200 head dairy farm.

“If your are employed in Almarai you usually start off at the unit
manager level and have a lot of staff working under you, he said.
But, he said the operation allows its employees to gain on-farm
experience and training by spending time working in the parlour, with
young stock and breeding.
“By the end of year two I had progressed to an assistant farm manager
and I stayed at that level until I left in 2007. So I did two years training
and I spent five years as an assistant farm manager,” he said.

Key Milking Differences On Almarai
He also discussed some of the key differences between the Saudi set
up and Irish farms.
Barkley said the cows are milked four times daily, in a 75 unit rapid exit
parlour, which allows 75 cows to be milked every 5-7.5 minutes.
He also said that the cows udders were cleaned in group spray pens
and dried using fans prior to the start of milking, which is a little bit
different to the teat dipping or wiping carried out on Irish farms.
Barkley also discussed the forage production on the farm, saying that
maize and alfalfa are grown on farms over seven hours away and the
feed is shipped to each individual dairy unit in containers.


Financial Rewards
Barkley said that the starting off annual basic pay with Almarai is
€46,500 paid tax free
monthly installments.
The farm manager also said that the severance pay after year one is
5%, at the end of year two you get a further 5% and at the end of year
three it jumps to 15% a year.
“At the end of year eight your can walk away with an additional year’s
salary,” he said.
Barkley said that the package includes 97 days holidays and six return
flights to your starting point, or somewhere else if you don’t want to
come back to Ireland every time.

It’s Not All Rosy
However, Barkley said that financial circumstances brought him to
Saudi Arabia, but the rewards came at a price.
He said that he found it difficult to find work when he moved back to
Ireland, as many potential employers thought he was over qualified
after his experience
from work with Almarai.
He also said that the differences between the Irish grass-based and
Saudi TMR system made it difficult to find work once he returned
home.
Barkley said that during his seven-year stint with the operation, only his
wife came to visit him is Saudi, with none of his other family members
making to trip to the Middle East.

BusinessStop Buying Airtime From Banks, Buy From Hawkers- US Journalist by aloeman15(op): 1:44pm On Apr 26, 2018
US based journalist, Saleh Shehu Ashaka who works for 'Voice of America' has pleaded with Nigerians to stop buying airtime from banks and rather 'buy from hawkers (those who sell on the road or around your home areas), because our brothers/sisters are becoming
jobless'.
He says, 'Buy from people not machine, please! So that they will earn a living'.
Please!!!
Stop buying airtime from banks.

And the fraud continues.

Why would tiers of govt cone together to share money particularly the state governments, can't they formulate policies on how to be independent of these fraud sharing formular?

Several states can make huge revenues through tourism + hospitality, natural resources, building correct human capacity....

I think the 2019 election should be a deciding factor, what genuine reforms are you bringing as a camdidate to the table in terms of revenue generation, job creations, smes,....
you want governors to actually work?!

it means we should start taking action now against bad governance.

Politics#beyondpvc - Do You Agree? by aloeman15(op): 9:36pm On Apr 25, 2018
#beyondpvc

elections are ONCE a year.

governance is 365 days a year, 24hrs/day.

we must start practising how to monitor and regulate our elected SERVANTS.
otherwise what will change?

we must get in the habit of Citizen participation.

PoliticsRe: Before Nigeria Goes The Way Of Rwanda By Dele Momodu by aloeman15(m): 8:22pm On Feb 17, 2018
I think you've missed the point completely.
Genocide in Nigeria is entirely possible.
Once the mob starts cleansing in their strongholds, most of the middlebelt will easily fall.
Every area with large muslim populace will join them (out self-preservation or genuine glee) in killing 'infidels'.
By then, most southern states will be too confused and overburdened by refugees to take decisive action.
Moral of the gist:
Never say never.
Sprumbabafather:
After the beating of Olu Falae and burning the farms of Samuel Afolayan and the yorubas refused to fight, Nigeria can never become Rwanda grin
