rainylad: AngryRebel: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. modified: do you know that kano once had the largest pig farm in the north? food for thought. |
he'll win, Hands down.
sad, but true. |
NOC1: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. |
DAVEZONIGLTD:if you had real info, you'd be praying for the opposite. let me leave it there. |
bbxxxxxx:sorry sir, Nigerians are too lazy or cowardly to demand good governance. therefore PVC will be useless in 2019. small rain fell in Lagos, they refused to vote for LGA elections- the most important one o! 2019, throw knockout, everybody in VI will lock their gates. again, sorry sir. |
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. Buy from hawkers (those who sell on the road or around your home areas), because our brothers/sisters are becoming jobless. Buy from people not machine, please! So that they will earn a living! — Saleh Shehu Ashaka (@AshakaSaleh) April 23, 2018 https://sunnyehigiator..co.ke/2018/04/stop-buying-airtime-from-banks-buy-from.html?m=1 |
myself13:hm. well, boys are seeing red in this economy. time to restrategize. |
Adekdammy:you want governors to actually work?! Haba bros... ![]() |
dheilaw1:waiting for 2019 elections is like allowing a drunk driver to reach ur busstop before you get out of the car. it means we should start taking action now against bad governance. make sense? |
#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. https://mobile.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1877822802236067&id=100000250974271&_rdr |
rusher14:excuse me. what exactly are the "lazy youths" getting from the state? maybe I missed the news. kindly list them. |
Okoroawusa:hmmm... do you think those who've been murdered in many middle belt villages will agree with you? what of the over 10 million who lost their jobs last year? or those whom lassa fever is still killing? much less idps who've been duped, bombed and starved under buhari? just asking. |
progress69:hi there's a fellow hunting for you in politics section. what did you do to him? |
come, you this op. do you have sense at all? what do you mean by '2023'? buhari till 2035!! when he dies, we'll use his corpse. embalming tins. if nothing else, hunger and starvation will help us control our population. cheers! |
it's impossible... he must have been misquoted. I'm sure this is fake news. |
debaj10:who's this guy and why are you pursuing him like this?! |

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: |
