GreyLaw: The governmenr told you that no money was stolen and you believed?!? Gosh!
How do you think politicians usually steal money?
They cannot withdraw money from the government accounts, but the steal money through awarding dubious contracts (with inflated prices) without due process (which is what Baru did), and then share the excess money gotten from such contracts.
Let's stop siding this government and begin to ask them questions.
is it today u start asking questions,oya brings out your verifiable documents d contract papers,bank transanctions,use freedom to information to get us d facts & proof to us that $25 or $26 or $28bn was stolen & from which acct?
saliubello: All along this chains, there exist a lot of missing gaps, needs that need to be satisfied, problems that requires solutions. The youths can be actively and positively engaged without fraud, cheat or lies.
Let me be a little more practical. There exist no ceremony across the various ethnic groups where rice and chicken are not appreciated by the guests. What that tells us is that those who position to grow the rice and chicken will always have a filled or swell time by every purchase made.
That's the drive towards rice. In fact this Ofada rice in particular is a great meal that is served even in Government houses and functions.
Ofada rice is the real premium rice.
most pple consumes rice on d table without any input or knows how hard to produce a handful of grains into finish edible rice.i wish i hav d wherewithal to help in design & making of drones for agric purposes,majority of our engineers & scientists are not problem solvers.
Two-point-eight-billion naira Oil money is missing Two-point-eight-billion naira Oil money is missing Them set up inquiry Them say money no lost o Them dabaru everybody Them say make him no talk o "Money no lost," them shout again Inquiry come close o
Nothing is new under the sun. $2.8 billion was missing under Buhari when he was Minister of Petroleum in the 70's.
d entire revenue of nnpc & nigerian budget is not up $2.8bn in d 70's,pple steals in thousands where u won see $bn haba!even $10k na big money for head of state to steal.
why cnt state ministry of transport issue DL why frsc?dl which use to b #5k is now #20k & take eternity to get,& just look @ how expensive number plate is.hav dey ever reduce accidents since their inception?
Gej & pdp shld return dia loot & apologise for 4givness b4 having d moral justification to contest?y is everything about returning 2 power?cnt dey remain as opposition & help democracy?
saliubello: Disprove it if it's not true friend. Just Google it now! Don't just make comments vaguely.
am just joking,how can rice b cheap?with all it problems frm tilling,planting,birds,pest,herdmen,to harvesting,couple with cost of chemicals,seeds & technology making rice farming d most difficult,unpredictable,labour & capital intensive type of farming.
FarmTech: These birds are mean oo. Another strategy I once read is high tech. It involves using electronic rays to detect bird approaching the farm. When detected, it triggers rocket-propelled firecracker that will scare off the birds. This one may be unreacheable for most farmers.
firecrackers even d rocket types is reachable exspecially during d xmas season d noise frm firecrackers will scare dem away.
TangoAlpha: To answer your question directly; the drone will not need to be flown 24/7. The birds attack during the day only. So you only fly during the day. Do you fly all through the day? No. But you may need to fly for most of the day.
Let me break this down a bit more.
Quelea quelea attacks are greatest in the early mornings and early evenings. But they generally attack through the day.
When you use a drone, it's motion and noise drives the birds. If the farm is not so big....the drone can travel back and forth in a few seconds and will leave the birds no respite. The theory is that if you frustrate them so much they will take a break for upto 30-45minutes. If the drone activity continues, and the birds upon returning realise that they still don't have the opportunity to feed on your rice, Thier frustration increases. If you sustain this back to back. You are very likely going to make the birds migrate from the area.
There is a potential problem though. Many drones that qualify for this task have limited battery life. Typically battery life's are about 10-30 minutes. So you may need to have a number of spare batteries to be able to fly the drone footage hours.
The other challenge is if the area you need to fly the drone over is too large (my rice was on about 50 acres, and I had only one drone); the birds will feast on the rice before the drone gets to them and they will fly to other parts of the rice farm once the drone gets to them. Before the drone gets to the new spot, the birds would have done more damage...on and on..
So get as many spare batteries as you can. And plan the number of drones to match the size of you farm.
I used the DJI Mavic Pro. Unfortunately, it didn't help much. The size of the farm and the population of the birds overwhelmed it. I reckon that of I had 5-10 of that drone I may not have a list a single grain to the birds.
not just any drone,drone are noiseless use drone with ultrasonic device. or place ultrasonic device around yur farm connected to amplifier,use rechargable battery with solar charger. 2.design a kite that look like a hawk black or red around yur farm to scare them away. 3.study d direction dey descend on d rice farm,by fishnet d finger size used 2 cover pond,hang it high in there direction of descend?u cnt net d whole farm,but may b 5 or 7 places,it will trap alot of them b/c dey fly in a straight line oblivious of d net,u will hav enuff birds 2 eat.
saliubello: Dear friend. I am very sure that you are unaware that the Ofada rice delicacy is a sought after in any social event in the South West regions of Nigeria. However, it will interest you to note that N700/Kg is even cheap for destoned ofada rice.
To the calculations that I interest you, this prices and calculations are not based on selling ordinary paddy, but processed and fully destoned rice. That tells you I'm thinking value addition already. My market surveys already tells me the market is waiting!
These piece is only for those who give thoughts. Not some ponzi schemes.
counting chicks b4 dey hatch,make una make rice affordable na!
etenyong: See what Nnamdi KANU and his brainwashed followers in the east had cause. The raised false alarm and it has now generated to other regions. When the time for the Vaccination comes now the parents would not allow their children to be immunize. Let watch out breakout for cholera, polio and other disease cos of this action
after ipob will say dey dnt kill,millions of kids will die by diseases b/c ipob scare dem off vaccines.dia blood will b on ipobs head!
which buhari again i thought dem say na jubrin,if he no travel with his beloved family na jonathan family he go travel with?d 1st lady must b @ his side @ all time.
