I personally think he is right. I have seen alot of farmers who have been in the business but are still where they are for years. Alot of them have closed down. Feed sellers and fish sellers are the ones making money while farmers are just struggling to survive.

I don't really know how long you have lived outside Naija but if you can lower your standard of living abit, you can have a decent accomodation in a place like Ibadan. A 2 bedroom flat rent of 500- 700k naira per year in a good location should be manageable for you. You can stay in Ibadan and be running your business in Lagos. Even, many people are even commuting Lagos-Ibadan expressway almost everyday and I guess your situation will not be like that. You can also check farming out, I guess you can find nice location at Ibadan vicinities. Don't just go and spend too much to acquire property that will cost you more than necessary. To build 3 bedroom flat to a reasonable taste in Nigeria right now can't cost less than 7-10million naira

To invest, in case you have some trusted family and friends, invest in land properties right now and it can only appreciate in values for you while preparing to come back home.

And lastly don't venture into any business that you can't monitor or follow up upto 80%.

It would have been better if you have some real estate properties here in Naija, nevertheless, you have good amount of money with you, just spend it wisely. All the best.

Nice contribution. God bless you

Please xeeex i sent you PM

Oga you are still thinking? What are you thinking? I strongly hate men without balls. Only God knows what you are still thinking. Break up with that thing before she kills you. Use your brain and think other important things. There are very good girls out there. Take your time and make a good choice.

So because people were allowed to congregate at the burial ceremony of Abba Kyari (an event the SGF has come out to apologise about) means the government shouldn't raise Alarm when NCDC guidelines are not followed? Do you know the difference between you and buhari on this scenario? Buhari Loves his health to the Extent that he deprived his appointees access to ASO ROCK. You on the other hand will not be spared or protected when there's a massive outbreak of the virus in the community. Over 70 stubborn andcareless covid19 patients have met their premature deaths and buhari is still is alive.

You are very smart. I just pity my people.

I personally miss that guy's story alot. I hope he is fine.

Controversial human being... you don go Banana Island before? If you go there, you go see sey dem no born 1 million Boys Brigade to near there. Na shoot at sight ooo.

On a more serious note, bro, you should let go of some of your proclivities so that you can harness the wealth of knowledge and experience this thread possess.

Also, endeavour to make contributions with the intentions of learning more, rather than wanting to impose your ideologies and contrary opinions. It is not a challenge.

Your account is new, so it is safe to assume that you just discovered Nairaland, unless you have been a guest all along or you have multiple monikers. This thread has survived this long because of the constructive contributions anchored on continuous knowledge sharing. We hardly hoard information here. All you have to do is keep asking.

Some months ago, someone gave a detailed exposition about how he started his lending business during his Banking Graduate Trainee days and grew his capital base to tens of millions presently. It was a rude eye-opener for me! If i wanted to tow that line, i could have just sent him a PM and, if he could divulge so much here, i am sure he could have also walked me through privately as well

Late last year too, just when NTB started its decline, you needed to see the discussions that went down here about techniques to be profitable in real estate. It was really really enlightening for me. If i were to venture into real estate today, i am sure i would avoid the pitfalls most of our elders here made when they started out earlier.

Shares and Stocks nko, Elder Emma has taken us through salient tips one should know about Shares. From choosing a broker to even recommending stocks one can immediately buy into, everything was laid bare here.

Most times, when these discussions are about to begin, it doesnt start with the headline "This is a secret". No! But you will definitely spot secrets our formal education and street knowledge couldnt provide. Only practice and experience afforded it.

Capitalism dont exist here, bro. We share information freely, and just like someone pointed out earlier, the sky in here can accomodate all the birds.

You are right bro. I learnt alot from this thread. God bless you all.

I can't stop reading your story everyday. May God bless you and open more doors for you.

Thank you Fhemmmy for saying the truth. I am sure this person just copied this ebook online. And i am sure he has never managed a fish farm in his life. Most people just come here to sell what they dont even understand. Any serious person who wants to start a business should first attach himself to a practicing farmer not all these internet farmers on nairaland.

Sharon, is like you know much about west african countries?

Oh God bless help me. I want to live and die for the less priviledge.The passion is burning like fire in me.

Bro, so what is bothering your mind now is how to retain a lady who is not yet your wife? Who might even abandon you and move on with another man. A lady that truely loves you will stick to you. You dont need to fight with anyone because of her. I think you should focus your mind on something meaningful.

I am not going to say any rip to this coward, who just wasted his hard earned money on something that does not belong to him. This is a big lesson to any young man who is wasting his time and resources on his so called girl friend. This coward has wasted his life now, while the lady is busy enjoying the dick of her new man. Anuofia!!!

Bro , if you are my brother i will beat hell out of you. Wasting your valuable time and asset on a useless thing.

Why not ask God to direct you where he wants you to work for him. Are you truely a man of God? Why asking people to tell where to work for God?

Pistotita:
These are specialized area. Very lovely you have chosen this path to making additional income. I am glad my articles and posts are opening the eyes of people. Bros, you are buulding your life with this. You go abroad and have good vacation. You will command respect at home too. Do you know that there is too much confidence that oil and gas boys dont have which what you want to do will give you?

All the areas you have chosen are good, but it depends on you. It seems that snail and dogs breedings are the two areas which do not need too close monitoring. UUnfortunately, I do not know the details of these two areas.

1. Broiler: You can easily sell your birds if you keep your cost of production down. It is straight forward. Dedicate 3 months to go on a pilot with 50 birds. I will not want to give you a budget. Find out the present cost of DOC which fluctuates seriously. Of course, find a good seller. I dont believe in buying from big brands. My gut tells me to find a trusted guy who works in any good hatchery. If I was to do it, i would want to attain an average weight of 3kg in 49 days, of course can be up to 3.9kg. And my plan is to keep my cost of production to N1,000 per bird. I may start with N1,500 per bird...of course, that is just to get the basis of doing it. My subsequent pilots, I start trying out many things until I optimize to N1,000 cost of production per bird or below. This is my life. This is how I operate. Therefore, find threads on broiler and start asking questions. You can do it yourself. But if you are a big boy, you can use 1,000 as a pilot. Every 7 weeks you get a new batch. You can even stop at 42 days which makes it shorter. 2kg is the standard accepted weight. Lets say you optimize and you make N650 - N1,500 per bird, you can structure your farm into batches. And you have continuous production where you supply 2 to 3 times per week the same buyer. The mistake most farmers make is that they produce huge numbers of birds at the same time. This is a very wrong approach. To do this, you need to consult someone who understands it very well. And a business structure like this is what I have developed for myself. Visit Emmachile threads. There is one other NL master that I know, he may not like it if I mention him, but trust me, this guy is good in both organic and inorganic. Then, look out for organicfoods too. He knows about broiler. Also, talk to Turk or Turks. He is always on Emmaachile's broiler and noiler threads.

2. Turkey:
This is a business for the biggest boys. I finished developing N480 million annual sales yesterday. I am still fine tunning it. What I love about this bird is that "Owambe" Lagos and Abuja parties orgsnizers can easily patronize one and use these birds instead of beef. Of course, most people will buy into it. And when you get the right breed which are called "Foreign Breeds" in Nigeria, you are in big money if you can learn how to take care of them. I know two breeds that are highly sorted after. And the chance of getting crossed breed is very high. If you have some serious cash, and you want to look into this, I can put you in the right direction. I do not buy into using local breeds. This is a business I am seriously considering to start anytime. But you must be financially ok. A day old poult is presently N1,400 to N1,800. Just imagine buying 1,000 poults. 99% of NL farmers will take off like Usain Bolt. Lol. But I am trying to build a business which supplies 1,000 6-months old turkey birds weekly. Of course, I can easily find Owambe parties and supply per week. A bird goes for N16,000 - N25,000. I believe N15,000 to N17,000 is a wonderful price most caterers will rush. Just try to open a processing unit, and you are in a big boy business. However, learn the act very well. This is a business I am working on presently.

3. Layers: If you can learn broiler, layers becomes very easy. The choice you have to make is to buy day old chicks, or to buy point of lays. Do not let any consultant make any decision for you. Make deep research. But you get to make daily sales here. Remember that you can strucrure boilers to having 3 sales per week also. It depends on how you structure your business. And it is going to affect the way you manage your birds. Remember that most people are not deep thinkers who can structure it like this. So, most farmers usually make sales one time quarterly or bi-annually.

4. Snail:
Honestly, I cannot tell you the details. You should check Moboj on nairaland. She understands it. I have checked her threads.

5. Dog: Seriously, I do not know much, but I am planning on breeding farm dogs soonest. I will be here to read comments from masters.


My guy, the king you never mentioned is Vegetables. Lol. And this is my specialty. I love fruits too. If you have 1 acre to 1 ha, and you want easy money with little or no work, start with papaya. Then, if you have time, and you want to make some serious money, you start thinking about cold loving plants. Practise, perfect them, and see yourself making serious income: cauliflower, brocolli, green peas, special cold loving cucumbers, sweet pepper, beetroots, etc. You can start with lettuce. 11 - 12 pieces is presently N500. And you can have 5,000 - 7,000 plants on 1 plot. You may even grow vertically. Calculate sales and see. You can have 25 - 35 days cycles. Cut off the period needed for nursery. So, you may divide one plot into 3 or 4 parts and choose 3 to 4 different veggies. Oga, it is called easy income if you can stay with it.


Above all, take your time to research these areas extensively before you commit yourself into one or two.

Note: Learn odorless poultry farming so you do not offend your neighbors. It is advisable you do veggie so you can easily move your manure and use them if you choose poultry. Otherwise, you will make many enemies around you since you are likely to have neighbors.


Best of luck sir.

Oga , you are very smart. I have read most of your post.You are very intelligent.May God keep and bless you more.

I think accomodation is very expensive in Abidjan compared to most cities in Nogeria.

biz4realnair:
Hello Mr. How are you doing? I saw your advert and decided to give you my candid opinion concerning what business to do with this sum of money without regretting or burning your fingers.
Let's talk further on my WhatsApp 08102805200 Thanks

Others gave their honest advice here.Why do you want to have private chat with him?

Pistotita:
July 11. Good. You have N200k. Lovely. You need another N200k from people..



July 16 - The zeal was made known on nairaland. With no asset. Buy you have N200k. Have you forgotten? Or are you trying to combine Agriculture with the idea you have? Or was Agric the idea that you collected money for? Scary!



July 24, This looks more scary. No capital again? No more capital 13 days after you declared you have N200k and you ask ppl to invest in your idea. You opted to work on farms. Very interesting.



August 3, you tried business thread to ask more opinions on different businesses. But N700k landed again 10 days after you declared you don't have start up capital. Ok. Looks like this is the money you collected from people who you told to invest in your ideas. Lol. Chai!



August 4: 7 days after you raised N700k, you don chop N100k from the money. "Chineke!"

You want to guard the money you collected from people to partner with another person who calls himself a consultant here, and you want it fast because Roi payment date has been set.

My brother or sister, try to walk carefully as the land you are on is slippery.

God bless you!

Thank you Mr Okroemeka. That is exactly what I was thinking.But I am considering availability of cheap farm land in Akwa ibom.I do not know if one can easily get cheap farmland to buy in Akwa ibom.For ilorin land is not an issue.Again thanks for answering my question (Chukwu gozie gi nwanne mmadu).

May God bless Okoroemeka for opening this thread and also for sharing very important information. I spent almost one day to read this thread from page one to the last page.You guys are just good. I have a strong PASSION for agriculture right from my primary school days. I am considering location .I want to ask you guys to suggest to me.Between Akwa ibom and ilorin which state is better to establish a farm.Considering availability of land and market.I have interest in piggery, poultry and vegetable farming. May the good lord bless all of us.

There is hunger in the land.God have mercy.Lol

And also how much does it cost you to raise them from day old to this stage? Well done brother.

LOSKYXANDER:

Is it crop or livestock farming? I think you should be specific

[quote author=Chidonc post=79344614]I pity anybody entrusting money into your care, I don't support the person not paying the 50k but people like you I fear the most, 200roi on poultry, you are a scammer.[/quote ] Bro i think it is possible to make 200 roi in 4 months on poultry.A very close friend of mine is into commercial broiler production.

Why sending him to Rwanda? What is so special about Rwanda? I am thinking because i have many guys from that country who stay here and are vowing not to go back. I am not saying that Rwanda is bad but my question is why Reanda?
