Who sold mike out?
Suits is back.

Yeah just watched the latest episode too, still wondering who sold him out.

Just love suits, Every episode a hit back to back..

zigalo:
I simply followed the online registration process on the first page

Made a print out of the final page.

Took the print out and photocopies of the document we were suppose to upload online with me (Proof of ownership, Insurance, License & Road worthiness) Thank God I did because documents I uploaded were no where to be found on the dbase when i got there, So the guy collected the photocopies and "re"- uploaded them.

I took the above mentioned documents to SIB, Commission of Police office complex, Ikeja.

Permit was ready in two days. ( processing time might increase when the deadline draws close) waited for another two days. Called the officer and he said same was ready.

Viola.. I paid the agreed fee and picked on the permit

My case is different.

Went there the first day with the online print out and copies of the uploaded documents on Monday, waited for hours cos they were having a meeting

I was told there was a new directive from Abuja, that they have to inspect the car.

Went back on Tuesday with the car, car was inspected, submitted my online print out and was told to come back next week. All these was done at the ICT room. My uploaded documents where found in the system so I didn't have to submit copies.

@ ZIGALO, which one be SIB commission complex again? I was not told to take any documents anywhere o.

zigalo:
Yet to pay. Didn't have that amount of cash on me that day. Besides I was working on the premise that it was free worse case scenario a tip of 2k tip.

Went to the command in Lagos. They were just directing me up and down.

It's either I was unlucky and those responsible to handle it were not on ground or they were all clueless.

What's the update on yours.

Anyone that has actually done the capture?

UPDATE.. .
finally met the right person, they have now been instructed to inspect the car. So anyone going, go with your car and ask for ICT Room

zigalo:
Nothing is actually free in this naija. Visited the Lagos command with my online print out.

I was told I had to pay 5k for the permit. The guy said although it was suppose to be free. But the 5k is for office and staff maintenance

The allocation for maintenance of PC, data capture equipment and internet data does not get to them. So they have to devise a means to internally generate the funds. (Very lame thought) smh for the level of corruption in this country.

Did you pay the 5k?
Did you eventually get the permit?

Happy New Year

My Oga at the top. I hail o. Happy New Year to you

rainbowman:
It is quite unbelievable that the former President is being blamed for an action that occurred at the tactical level. For the avoidance of doubt, arms are issued to soldiers at the tactical level and the President operates at the grand strategic level of war. At that level, he is concerned with coordinating the instrument of national power towards attaining national objectives. Decisions concerning the amount of bullets given to troops are within the purview of the battalion commander who operates at the tactical level. One can not even blame a GOC about the amount of bullets given to troops talk less of the President. For instance if you are the CEO of KONGA, you are concerned with the policy direction of your company at the strategic level. If you are faced with a challenge lets say a debt being owed by an uncooperative customer, you decide whether you would negotiate (diplomatic instrument), sanction dealings with him (economic instrument) or engage a debt collector (military instrument). You are not the one to tell the debt collector how to go about his business as those options are best left to him.

So if the debt collector goes about his business anyway he likes, fails to recover the debt and your company folds up, who gets the blame

Guy it's the CEO jare. Everything rises and falls on leadership. Ultimately if a company keeps raking in profits, the CEO gets all the credit, and when it fails, he should be willing to accept responsibility. Why do you think companies like blackberry, HP and Co, sacked/changed their ceos

If apple start declaring loses today and share price start dropping like fire, I bet you, Tim Cook is in deep shishi

haibe:
About the Linux and Windows statement you made.. Are you kidding me like seriously? would a Linux system come pre-rooted? Also if you don't know, it is not easy getting an administrator's privilege on Windows like having an already Pre rooted Android device. That you are logged in Windows as n administrator will never give you administrator permissions until you go an extra mile to get the "true administrator permission ". To confirm this, login to a windows system as an administrator ans try deleting files in Windows32 folders.

From your post, what I can deduce is this:

Its either you didn't get the point of my post one bit or you don't even know what the word 'prerooted' means and are therefore misusing it, but then I will just let it go.. I don't find it very easy to type these says. Cheers.

FYI by default, new windows account when registering is am administrator account, the only difference from hidden administrator account is that on the former, you get UAC prompts while you don't get UAC prompts on the later. Both accounts cannot delete critical windows system files within windows environment. That's the purpose of booting to recovery/WINPE environments. It doesn't take anything away from administrative rights.

Same applies to rooted Android phones, there are just some things you cannot do within Android even while rooted, that's why there's recovery/adb/bootloader modes.

Don't even let us go to LinuxLinux

Even on Android, are you aware it's possible to be rooted and yet you don't have write access to the system

I have already tried to explain to you that miui take on Android is quite different from what you are familiar with, so whatever your idea of pre-rooting is (since you have alleged I don't know what it means) is not miui take on it. In the real sense, rooting simply means giving or enabling super user/administrative privileges, it is not synonymous with using chainfire superuser, kingroot or any other rooting tools.. It can be as simple as a prompt asking you if you want to continue Eg you have agreed to temporarily give super user access (root your phone) while performing some manufacturer updates when you decide to accept and continue the update.

So when we say miui rom is pre-rooted, it simply means there's an option to give superuser/administrative right to the user, it's not an automatic system wide super user access like you are probably thinking. Sometimes you may even need to flash su binaries from recovery on some xiaomi phones to get system wide access.

This whole discuss still boils down to you accepting the fact that miui is not traditional Android and it's implementation of so many things is different. Just accept you are not familiar with miui approach and move on.

Compliments of the season to you. Forgive my typostypos

haibe:
Hey am not going personal on you, I never said YOU ARE NOT TECH SAVY, so whats the fuse about?

I haven't used miui Rom truly but I can categorically tell you any ANDROID operating system that comes Pre rooted is not a good one.. Am surprised you are disputing this and that why I said you may not understand if you aren't tech savy.

Rooting comes with a lot of huge dangers and is not advisable by virtually all Android phones manufacturers in the world, that is why before you root your phone there ought to be several stages to undergo (except these Mtk devices which a one click app will help),.. This stages of rooting would at least give an assurance to the manufacturer that those rooting their phones are at leat a bit tech savy and therefore know the consequences.

Why do you think you have to unlock developer mode on your phone, why do you think certain things luke USB debugging have to be enabled and giving express permission before its use, why fo you think the ADB method of rooting will require your acceptance before you can move ahead.? These are controls to ensure rooting "is not so easy" because of the consequences involved.

Having a prerooted device and selling it to someone who isn't tech savy to know what rooting is, is very dangerous and thus I said it isn't a good android phone. Not when we had the stagefright fear just recently that could ruin the whole reputation of Android immensely.

Please if what I have written up isn't clear, you can Google the dangers of using an android operating system (it is open source, so expect this) and then read widely on the dangers of even going further to root an android phone.. This should clear things for you a bit.

But as i said before, if you aren't tech savy at all, you may still not understand this. Merry Christmas.

Like someone said earlier, you need to use miui, then come back to edit your posts.

You may believe you are tech savvy, which I don't dispute BTW, but making a blanket statement that all phones that come pre-rooted are bad phones is odd when you have not even made any investigation on how the miui rom in question handles rooting. Your statement is like saying every Linux computer that gives users the option of having root access is a bad computer or any windows computer that gives users access to administrator account/privileges is a bad computer



Used miui many years back and I can tell you though it's core is Android, it's more like a complete Android fork and so many things are handled differently. It's more like Android on steroids.

Miui is so simple like iOS for beginners (many has regarded it as iOS on Android) and yet has many complex system level customization options to cater for super users.

I cannot go deep into how miui works (been a while I used it), but to my knowledge, I can tell you that even the developer rom that comes pre-rooted, to a normal user, it is still not rooted because apps that require root will never see it as being rooted. So a novice has nothing to fear.
On the other hand, a super user will have to manually go into the permission manager on miui, and manually grant root access to any app for that particular app to see the phone as being rooted.

Also FYI, usually the standard miui rom does not come pre-rooted, but the developer rom or the multilaguage rom does. The standard rom comes only with English and Chinese, some sellers install pre-rooted multilaguage roms to cater for all international (with some sellers, you can choose which rom you want) and even at that, it's still as good as not rooted for novice users.

Just watched season 1 and 2 of 'the affair'.. Loved it. Nice story line

(Fish Farmers Association Of Nigeria)

Over the years, we have seen many fish farmers closing their farm(s) due to huge loss(es) that they recorded from an investment that is suppose to economically empower them; fish farming. We have seen.. .....

Thanks

This is a welcomed development. Everyone who has at any point participated in this thread, whether active or not should endeavour to join the proposed association.

We need a collective voice and not being a part of this may actually be a disservice to us.

With the price of crude oil going down, Nigeria has no other choice than to diversify the economy, and agriculture will be one of the major vehicles of diversification. Sometimes success in life can be just about placement, being at the right place at the right time. I see a lot of potentials in this and I am happy the champions of this course are not just local champions,

I personally I go dey follow una bumper to bumper, no dulling for 2016.

Boss soft777 thank you so much for your help so far I really appreciate you sir. I want to use this opportunity to let the house know that the feed formula that soft777 gave me is working magic. My fingerlings of 2months and 2weeks added an average weight of 100grams -150grams in two weeks. Some above 150grams. The fishes now have an average weight of 300grams - 350grams, 400grams-500grams and some above 600grams. They will be 3 months on 3rd of January. I will keep the house posted. Thanks to all the gurus in the house.

This is an excellent result. Mr soft77 is surely da Boss.

I also commend you for following tips here and adhering to good farm management practices. I like the fact that you're weighing your fish at intervals and keeping records, I'm sure this cycle will be profitable for you unlike your first 2 cycles. Keep it up.

I now understand why America shied away from assisting us after they came in to do their own study and investigation and just kept mute afterwards.

Probably they concluded our leaders are the problem and it was not worth saving a people that do not want to be saved. It will be waste of energy and resources on their part.

Nigeria, which way forward

pumppie:
Hello all, pls how do we overcome the problem of low hatching rate during this harmattan period? I assume water temperature will be at its lowest right now.....

It's important you have a water heater and thermometer or just get an aquarium heater.

The latency time between injection of hormone and stripping is temperature dependent and that's where most people get it wrong. They may have been told strip 8 hrs after injection, what they don't tell you is that the 8hrs is latency time is for when the water temperature is 28 degrees Celsius,which is our average water temperature here on a good day. But during harmattan, the water temperature is usually lower, so latency time may increase so 8hrs will be too early and you will get bad results.

Remember the rule of thumb is that it's always better to strip too late than too early. But best to strip at the correct latency time based on water temperature.

Then also apply what Robonski said, and you should be good.

soft777:
Very intelligent question , from your calculation you did a mathematical simultaneous equation to get 5000 divide by 15kg to get 333 naira . In the mathematical world you are very correct, but in fish, livestock and poultry , it is not calculated that way .Your calculations are based on optimal feed consumption and growth but in reality the growth rate of fish is not constant, so using a simultaneous equation to calculate live fish , can never be feasible , Growth rate is never constant .In the determination of how much feed, a fish will eat for 4 months , all variables are never constant, because its not the same amount of feed, that 1000 fingerlings will eat, that 1000 juvenile will also eat .This implies that as fish grows its feed more and its fcr increases . So instead of using simultaneous equation, you should use an inversely proportional method to do your calculation. But i will use a simpler method to do this calculation so that others can understand better . Now we have what we call GROWTH RATE and BODY WEIGHT , these are variables as fish grows . Using the growth rate chart , cart fish have lowest fcr at younger age than when they are grown . This means that, they eat less to grow more at younger age, if u have seen the growth rate chart, u will observe a very fast rise in the graph , and as the fish grows more than jumbo size , you still continue to see an increase , till it gets to optimal point at 4 months , like your calculations it starts to drop . This implies that if u dont sell at optimum point , you will start to run at a lost, that is the reason why many fish farmers run at a lost, they sell at wrong time and the fish consumes all there profit as feed .If u dont know your optimum point you can be feeding your fish ,and they will just consume the feed without adding any significant weight gain . This is the secret of catfish farming business . Many people go into catfish hatchery because at small stage or lower age , catfish fcr is very low , so hatcheries tend to make better profit than grow out , but the technicality of hatchery management is more risky , because if u dont know it , you can run at a very big loss in a very short time .This is one of the reasons fish farmers, prefare grow out farming because of less technique and less risk . Now for feed , most of my write up are based on cost reduction but quality feed . i in particular i cartegorise both nigerian made floating feed and the exported feed as foreign because ,most imported feed are so high not because of the feed have much better quality but because of the fall in nigerian currency in the world market . Please note, am not trying to spoil any feed sellers business here . I cant buy a floating feed for more than 4k , i dont mind buying the nigerian made , even if the fish smell in the nigerian made is not as strong as the imported type . What is important is the balance nutrients in the feed , and a little secret is adding or mixing fish oil with the nigerian feed . Fish oil cost about 60 naira per liter .The oil gives the feed a stronger fish smell and it also serves as an attractant to your fish. when you try it ,You will discover how aggresively your fish will feed ,when they smell the fish oil . My calculation are based on cheapest floating feed , 4000 naira , now for our simple calculations . In fish farming we have different stages , fingerlings, juveniles, mellange and table size , at these stages their feed quantity or amount feed differs . So to get our optimal point using my feed amount and quantity , i buy 15kg feed for 4000 naira this means, with a good fcr i will be having 4000 divide by 15 that will give me 266 naira, at a good fcr. Now for first stage fingerlings, u feed one quarter of the body weight this implies 266 divid by 4 this gives 66 naira at fingerlings stage, at juvenile/ JUMBO STAGE you feed one third body weight this implies that 266 divide 3 u get 88 naira , then at melange u feed half body weight this implies that 266 divide by 2 u get 133 naira and at last stage grow out ,u feed optimal fcr which is 266 naira... You can see at each stages, as they grow the amount of money spent increases , so to get the average, u add all the 4 amounts divide by 4 you will get 66 plus 88 plus 133 plu 266 u get total 553 naira . then divide by 4 to get your average amount spend per fish this will sum to 553 divide 4 and you will get 138 naira. Now it dosent end there , i said 130 naira . You should know for example when you stock 1000 fishes , lets say they eat 1 bag in 3 days, and so when u stock 2000 fishes to a lay man, he will say they will eat 2 bags in 3 days ,but its wrong . calculation in fish is not just ordinary mathematics . You have to remove or subtract one quarter in every additional stock ,that is why, in mellange fish farming, when u stock at high density u make more profit , than stocking at normal density. This is the advantages of high super intensive capacity farm . We have many such farms in Nigeria , i dont want to mention names . In my farm, if i tell u i feed locally made feed through out a cycle ,and i get far better results than any foreign feed using super intensive system to get maximum profit. MY profits are far higher than the 280 i calculated ,i know many people will say how come , but we will leave that for another day.So going back to our calculations , if we remove three quarter as we increase stock , the calculated 138 will be 130. but these calculations varies from farms to farms and it also depends on management and system adopted . i hope this cleriffy your doubt , GODBLESS

You know you and I, our disciplines, we love calculations

Nice info, Thumbs up!

soft777:
A catfish business write up does not really need elaborate or long write up, i will concentrate on the variable cost ,which is the daily or monthly cost of running a catfish farm ,why the fixed cost are like land , ponds and water source either well borehole or stream. For any new fish farmer, i want you to have this in mind for maximum profit, 1, Source of fingerling 2, Cost of quality feed and quantity of feed fed , 3, Water management . If u get this 3 things correct you can never run at a lost by Gods grace, now according to most new comers here, sine you say u already have land, ponds and water . I will say that, try to make sure u do flow through system or if you do not have good irrigation system, then do a regular change of water at maximum 3 days water change ,to ensure wellness and oxygen . Now taking our fixed cost constant , lets concentrate on variable cost . I personally call it the left and right equation which is, cost of production ( CP ) should be lesser than the cost at sales ( CS) this equal to profit ....... CP < CS = PROFIT . Now for a business plan on how you do your cost , I will use a single fish to do this analysis . If u buy a standard fingerling for 15 naira which i know u can get from mr robonski for far less like 8 naira, and your cost of energy which is 25 naira per fish for 4 months , cost of labour or staff which is also 25 naira per fish , cost to feeding fingerling for four months to table size using foreign feed is 130 naira per fish , miscellinious expenses like drugs, transport etc at 25 naira per fish .Remember we are dealing with only your variable cost , so fix cost is not included . With this calculation we will have ONE FINGERLINGS 15 NAIRA ; ENERGY 25NAIRA ; LABOUR 25NAIRA ; FEED 130 NAIRA; MISCELLINIOUS 25 NAIRA = 220 naira total to grow 1 fingerling to table size using foreign or floating feed , so in a good time and area you sell table sizes at 500 naira per kg when u subtract u will have 280 naira per fish .lets say u stock 1000 fingerlings that will be 1000 multiply by 280 naira you get 280 thousand naira profit , but this profit is for 4 months of rearing , so if u want to make it your monthly salary ,then you should have 4 to 5 thanks to harvest 1 each month . But the truth is , to get this profit you have to follow the rearing methods to the later or else you can rear for 6 months without getting 1kg fish . To increase profit , is to increase the number of fish and from the calculation, you can see the feed carries the highest amount , so what you do is to reduce feed cost, is to turn to local feed which may reduce your cost from 130 naira to 90 or 80 naira which depends on your knowledge of feed formulation ,i will guide u on making a gelatin fish feed or locally semi floating feed cheap quality to help you maximize your profit . So for a starter to raise 1 fish ,it cost 220 naira and u want to rear 1000, then u need 220 thousand naira ,considering u have land pond and water source ,this is for a simple normal system .If you are going commercial that is intensive or super intensive then your cost of production will reduce by one quarter .This implies that the larger your fish ,the lower your cost of production because same pond size used for 1000 fish in a simple system can be used to rear 2000 or more in an intensive or super intensive system and your laboure , energy etc remains almost the same .If i did not mention any particular area of your intrest , then u can ask me a direct question on my whatsapp thank you. goodluck.

Nice write up with priceless info.
a quick questions.. .

. How did you come about N130 for feeding 1 fish especially since you mentioned using IMPORTED FLOATING FEED.

Let's even assume there's the possibility of buying a good imported floating feed @ N5000 for 15kg bag. That already translates to N333 per kg of feed.

In your 2nd write up about fcr, you mentioned for catfish fcr of 1.2 is the average value.

Now let's assume it's possible to get fcr of 1.0 which means 1kg of feed will grow a one fingerling to 1kg table size. From above calculation that's N333 to grow one fingerlings to 1kg.

So your N130 using floating imported feed to feed one fingerling to 1kg is not really clear, kindly educate me, seems I'm missing something.

GurlFriend:
In 2007 she was 17. The Child Rights Act which is in force in Abuja says that it is a crime to have sex with anyone younger than 18. It is called statutory rape.

Just my 50 kobo

Not sure this argument will work in naija where Nigerians usually claim different ages for different purposes at it suits them, and interestingly can provide birth certificates to back up each claimed age.

This brings us to a major issue, girls of nowadays are way sexually developed compared to their age. You will see a 17 year old minor looking like 21 and asides their physical maturity, don't even go to their sexual knowledge, it's something else!

Just thinking.. .what's the solution to avoiding getting in this kinda mess for people that are sexually expressive in their relationships. Should the guy go and meet the girls parents to confirm her real age before having. ..with her?

I don't really think a 17 year old girl that wants to play naughty will actually tell you she's 17 especially when she looks more matured.

Please house, there's a particular coppens catfish feeding schedule tablee I used to have like 15 years ago, I can't seem to find it again on the net. The one I see now is not the complete one. The one I see now is not broken down to the exact fish weight and daily ratio, rather just a weight range and %body weight.

Anyone with the table broken down to daily feeding rate with daily fish weight? I don google am tire, wished I had stored it in my email then.

This thread is quite old, nevertheless it was interesting going through the comments.

Just wondering why it never occurred to anyone that the husband may be a closet gay. I have come across this type of scenario before.

The signs are quite glaring. He won't allow the wife touch him, he finds it difficult to get an erection except he watches porn and even at that he goes limb once he is inside are. Hmm. These signs seems obvious to me.

Anyways wish your friend the best.

Before increasing tariffs, PHCN should be mandated to install a prepaid meter for every household.

With that we can all pay for what we use.

Hope you guys are aware the phone comes with dual battery.

You have to use the first battery up to 0-1% left before the second battery kicks in. Just saying.

So if you keep recharging your phone at 5% you are still using one battery which is half of the stated 6000mah capacity.

Disclaimer.. .i don't have the phone and I have never handled it.
