Havertz10:
Imagine where we would have been today, if mount never happened

When I was saying that I would be content if we lost that final so mount doesn’t get that clout they said I was hating, some even said that I wasn’t a Chelsea fan, men were looking at the big picture, fuckers were cruising assuming that it was banter

Now he has won POY * 2
Got ballondor nomination


Instead of the coach to realize that he is simply shit, they are assuming that he is out of form

So you wished we didn't win the champions league just to proof that the log of wood is not a part of our problem? How do most of you Chelsea fans reason? You say Men are looking at the big picture. What is the big picture if you are not winning the champions league no matter who was in the squad? Ordinary 4FA Cups that we have lost since Conte's time still dey pain me. You are wishing we lost champions league final just to proof a point everyone already knows. Mtchhewwww

Yes, Mount may be part of our problems, but Havertz is no where better. Mount is blind, but Havertz is more than blind.

I don't like Mount at all, because he has shown me from his first season that he is not good with his decision making and he can't spot a chance easily. But Havertz is more of a liability. His decision making is also poor. He can do a lot of things if he wants to, but his attitude is filled with unseriousness.

He is a top player but he is also a liability when he decides not to play and for some months now, he has decided to just continue to commit fraud and get paid without working.

If he wants to go to Bayern and want Chelsea to sell him cheap, he should say.

There are some things your player does and you just ask yourself if he is a professional footballer or if he is not talented. But he is very talented. But he is not using his talent to help us. He can fvck off

rooftops:
Most fans can see the problem with that defence is koulibally, I hope the manager sees it also. Consecutive clean sheets with the absence of koulibally no be fluke.

No be fluke oo. Even though they are average opponents.

I wish the team can be fully fit with Kante, James and Chilwell back when we start our champions league run again.

We might be on our way to number 3. We can't say. I look at all the teams at the moment and I think Benfica, Napoli and maybe Bayern are in top form at the moment. Ah, and Almighty City.

But we might not say. Winning number 3 might be our sure way of qualifying for Champions league

Though I just dey speculate ooo. I just dey wish oo. I need a RB, a CM/DM, and a tall good keeper. . But I wish we win number 3

I don't think Mudryk is match fit. He will gain fitness as time goes on.

And I love that, he comes back to help the defence and midfield. Something that was lacking in My Eden Hazard's game then.

Can't wait to see Mudryk and Felix terrorizing the left wing of the pitch.

Ballzproblem2:
ziyech is terrible but fools will think he is masterclass, can't complete a take on , crossing like shit ,had opportunity to give mudryk assist but greediness he wants to score ,hall should better start focusing on lwb because with what he played today he won't make it far

Ziyech does not even have speed. The best thing is for him to play in a league that is not to physical and tempo high and his team should always be in possession.

A team like Barca would suit him.

He ought to set up Mudryk, but he decided to be selfish. For goodness sake, Ziyech had already left the best position to play a shot, and the idiot_ still went ahead to play the shot when Mudryk was free.

Khayceeofficial:
CSO werey flies in like 007 and always comes out 3rd best even when it involves 2 players. With full fitness, this our bench no go carry players complete. Some players gots go

But the weyrey have found his way back into the team na. Chalobah is now suffering from hamstring. Are we going to rely on only Azpi till he gets back?

CSO is back with his calamity. Silva is another player with Boda Shile.

Khayceeofficial:
Ball he could have set mudryk on goal
Same thing he did against Fulham by squandering that ball to the throw line

I am so tired of him. I shouted shouted and shouted.

ItisHi:
I am tired of this one trick pony. Makes our attack so predictable and very blunt. Either he gets his cross blocked or an overhit cross. When he does well beating a player he never passes. Always looking to score classy goals than just passing for an easy tapin.

Ziyech right??

2 matches gone for Felix to be back.

Those senior players and the new players are not on the same level at the moment.

I pray the new players positively influence the other senior players.

BTW, apart from doing the dirty job in the midfield perfectly, I don't know what Gallagher is good at this particular moment.

Why would his decision making and passing can be this poor. There was this move that ended with him at the last minute of normal time, I was so pissed off. Do these guys train at all?

We had a lot of time to counter with the ball, we couldn't make the right decision at the final 3rd. What type of nonsense is that.

Then see Havertz. See Havertz. God! How can we go from Drogba, Costa, then to Havertz?

Will Porter die if he starts D.Fofana? We are already playing with a player down if we are been pressed from all side. What is the worst that could happen if he starts Fofana?

There was an attack Havertz just decided to mess up, while there were 2 free players at the middle of pitch.

Why does Havertz need to always run with his face downwards without checking his surrounding? We won a lot of balls with our press, but what to do with the ball after winning is a big fvcking issue.

Saw glimpses of our style of play in our champions league winning season, but the decisions by those attackers are so so poor.

Enjoy the next 2 weeks Chelsea fans.

"Battle of the mid" for a reason.

See Mudryk na. Playing without fear. The other senior players keep playing with fear.

Klopp dropped Trent because of Mudryk. Chaii.

I am just looking. Which kain lineup be this.

Amoto94:
I have a contact who may buy the cashew flesh they produce alcohol with it, I have contacted him when he gives me feedback I will get back to you if you're interested then you guys can talk business though the company is based in Nigeria.

Thanks bro. I dey chop and throw the flesh away. Make e contact you, make he talk how much them dey do am, and how I can preserve the flesh.

Once again, thanks big bro. Let me follow you, so that you can contact me through NL/Email.

A40:
Lmao you're still carrying one team will win in 2023?? Lai se UEFA

Na odds wey sweet na.

Wetin make I dey carry?

OasisX:
Nice, educating convos since morning. Bimffo.... I advise you pm ibim.e for guidance and possible linkups.

You gonna make lots of money with your cashew business. I have secured 4 acres of land for tomatoes farming - exportable tomatoes not the common ones in Nigeria Markets. 🍅🍅🍅

I am much interested in Agrobusiness, hope to read more from your experience so far.

Yea. I will surely pm him when the time is right. I will need to learn from him.

Those Tomatoes. Do they last longer than the Nigeria own. If yes, how many months. And who are those that will buy.?

Ibime:
Na the main wahala of Nigerian investments be this, especially bush investments. If Naira is not hammering you, then safety and security is a concern

One need to look into how to run this same thing for another African country where land is cheap and life is secure

My papa sef dey regret sey e advice me. . Na him call every evening and morning.

Even with the security agents Seyi and his fellow South western Governors have deployed, they still dey kidnap 24/7. But I go sha chop. I go sha Japa.

Thanks for the enlightenment tonight. I will screenshot before NL Tsunami happen again. Lightening can strike twice.

FBS:
No stress for you guys, you have 98% chance of winning the league anyway.

Abi, you wan use am compare if you draw, na 15th you go find yourself.

See where Boehly and his cohorts dey carry us go.

FBS:
😅

I don give bet9ja money today again.

Ibime:
Japa talks aside, you are sitting on Fixed income there. Another 50 acres join sef

I think the new set will even survive at 90% because I already learnt my lessons why some didn't survive with the older set.

What of harvesting, processing and transportation (operational) cost? is it deducted from that N10k wey you calculate?

Yes. I have deducted harvesting and transportation cost and then I am transporting to a nearby factory or give a middle man. I am not processing. The stress will choke me. I am been waiting consistently for 5 years.

Typically a business with proven and stable cash flows in a stable economic environment can be valued at 7 times EBITDA (Operating profit). So the value of that 50 acres is N210m at maturity if N30m is the proven annual EBITDA. You also have another 50 acres coming to maturity in another 6 years. The only caveat with such a valuation as applies to Nigeria is the stability of the Naira.

You are very very correct. But as you indicated, the price of a kg/tonne, keeps dropping. It is not stable. That's the problem about farmers. The price is not stable, then we have the stability of the naira. 600k per tonne in 2017 to 350k per tonne last year. The price dropped, then naira value dropped massively.

As cashew is a cash crop, if you can lock into the international market, you can stabilise your cash flows regardless what Naira is doing. On my travels to Gambia, I met a British-Jamaican guy called Bonga whose work is adding value to cashew. He doesn't own any trees, he pays all the local villagers 10 dalasi per sack of cashew they bring from communal trees, he then hires some niggas from Guinea Bissau to roast and process in his roastery (Cashew business is big in Bissau and Mozambique in Africa) and then he packs about half to a full container of processed cashew to ship to UK per year. He gave me a tour of his roastery, and said that's his main income source. The cheapest cashew you will buy in UK is like £6 per kilo in the discount stores, I imagine he will be collecting like £2 per kilo, meanwhile average international export price of cashew is like $1.20 per kilo which I'm sure still works out much higher than your yield of N10k per tree.

Another great angle. The international market. Last year, the farmer got way less than a dollar for a KG even though the dollar was at 500 naira then. 350 naira for a KG. The people at the supply chain (middlemen) make much more profit than we that planted. But, what about if I am the farmer and also the middleman. I need connect. I will look into this. (I can be like your friend and then supply to any western country I Japa to.)

Without digressing too much, you are sitting on a reliable future cash flow which with development of foreign buyers can yield substantially more.

I have a dream of working 4 months in a year and chill for the remaining 8 months. But I am super scared of Nigeria. Nigeria can happen to anyone, and you will think you figured it out when you have not even started.

If not that Cows can't eat Cashew because of its acidity, they would have destroyed my crops like they did my maize. I just had to stop planting maize.

Last Year, the cashew had small harvest, I couldn't enter farm/bush o. People no even follow me go the farm. Make Herdsmen and Bandit no carry us go where I no know. (That last year was that Igboho's time. It was fire for fire.) I stay for my Lagos. Because where I wan see 50m ransom.

I just mad small this year, I suppose no go. But I don dey on for like 1½ weeks now.

How can I have something, and I can't access it because of insecurity?

Reason I want to run away before them nab me, and I find myself begging European league section guys for ransom.

Ibime:
So N30m per year using N10k per tree at full stage in about 3 to 4 years

Is that profit, Gross Revenue or Net Revenue? ie before or after costs are deducted

How much you been want sell am for japa runs sef?

It should be profit considering I can pay the debts I have incurred on the farm in 3 years time. Used like 7 million in taking care of it.

Was searching for someone that I can lease out to sef. For 1 year, and thee person will give me 10 million naira.

The picture shown was me last year, at the desperation of my Japa fever. . The guy I message didn't reply. Second picture is to show you date.

I was tired and desperate that last year. But unfortunately for me, na embassy USA send me come house.

Looking at this thread with 1 eye

Ibime:
N3k?

How many trees enter 50 acres?

It will produce at full stage at age 7 or 8.

I planted 4.5m by 4.5m.

99 trees on an acre. But the thing is, not all of them survived. 70% survived. 3,000 trees at least.

At full stage, it should give me at least 10-15k per tree, no matter the state of the economy.

Ibime:
Have you started harvesting? If so, run the numbers for us.

I will do the breakdown by the end of March or before rain starts.

We are in year 4. First harvest.

But for 1½ weeks now, we've been getting 3k per tree averagely. Those trees harvested will still sow more fruits and nuts though.

What inspired you to invest in Cashew?

50 acres no be small land oh[/color]

Ginger and Popsy.

He told me, there might not be work by the time I leave University. So he bought land. Acres of Farm Land for cheap.

I then contemplated.

Plant Gmelina Arborea, then wait for 5 years without taking care of it to cut once, or plant cashew, use money to take care of it for 4 years and run harvest for 50 years.

I went for the hardest.

I feel it is the hardest. The money I use to take care of it till maturity is from Bambiala from Family members.

raumdeuter:
I am not a visa expert and I wont make myself to be what I am not

That 1year study, what is it? Is it Masters. And who is advising you? There is a Canada visa thread on NL, visit the place and ask questions from people

50 acres of cashew, I don't know about the business. I am sure there are people making it majorly from it. I might not be the best person to speak to that

Do you have a mentor in the field who has done the cashew business before.

Watch the first season harvest and sales and decide on your own what is best

Okay. Thanks for the 2 cents.

1 year VISA to study a course, so that I can work in Canada. That was what I was adviced. If I want to work in Canada, I must study in Canada. But the main goal na to just JAPA.

I will check travelling section.

Thank God I didn't follow you people for live bet at halftime. Chaii, I for just dey read lamentation like this.

Conte will miss Chelsea at this time.

We go 2 goals up and its game over.

The mentality was massive. Even with a bad team, we were not push overs under Conte.
