Agriculture › Re: ... by bixton(m): 3:26pm On Dec 28, 2018
sammorad:
I am always interested in this question of ' how much do I sell my broilers?, what should my profit margin be? '

Like every other business, we are in 4 profit. Unfortunately, many of us over estimate our profit, while others under price themselves.

There are 3 important questions.

1) What is the selling price in my environment?

2) what kind of market do I have

and lastly how much is my cost price?

Until u answer dis 3 questions, I believe u are not yet there.

Each area, I mean ur location is unique on its own.

Likewise the market u target is another thing u must understand, I have sold birds weighing as much as 3kg after slaughter and likewise less than 1kg.

Top of the questions, is how do u calculate ur cost?
[b]Ur cost must include the cost of raising the birds u lost during productions, [/b]and the cost incurred until d last bird leaves ur pen.
Now u can sit down and see how profitable d business is for u in ur location. How
Please can you explain how you go about the bold ?

Use the assumption of starting up with 1000 birds and about 300 birds lost in the production process..

What does it take to build a complete house!?
-- Get a land, do the required documentation for owner and run a survey.
--Employ the services of an Architect to put up a design plan of your choice.
--You can decide to get the services of a Quantity Surveyor to put up a Bill of Material/Quantities to enable you know the cost.
--You can choose to allow the Engineer, Builder, Artisan provide you with immediate above if the individual is the person you intend giving the job to.
--Get the services of a Civil Engineer, Builder, or a good Artisan to bring the design plan to reality. You can also opt to the method of DIY.

maxwell530:
the likes of Emir of Kano were outspoken and boldly talk against the killings during Jonathan administration but ever since a northerner is now the C in C, he has gone silent and mute.what do you call that? I'm wondering if he still lives in Nigeria sef.
If you go back to the outspoken-ness of the Emir, you'll notice he speaks more when there is a killing/retaliation of his kinsmen. When such killings occur sides are spoken for and against depending on who is speaking. When such deaths occur they are not first considered deaths of Nigerians but deaths of a certain tribal/religious group of persons.
Politics › Re: Killings: Three Reasons Northern Leaders Are Silent – Shehu Sani Reveals by bixton(m): 11:13am On Dec 25, 2018
Ever since Shehu Sani left the APC he has been more confused. Since the creation of Nigeria and killings in the North to Middle belt occurring there has being no traditional ruler, elder states man that have outright spoken against it. The only time you hear them speak is when there is a retaliation of killings and the others tend to make political statements just to be relevant.
Trying to say anyone who speaks ill of it will enter the bad books of PMB is nothing but dumb. It happened during OBJ and GEJ.
All politicians, traditional rulers, former military personnel and in security outfits in the affected regions, know who is responsible for it and they all benefit from it at one time or the other.

I know of about three projects listed by buhari that has not been touched since 2015, yet they were listed as having been completed and gulped billions.
Buhari is just a puppet. Some people just give him a paper to go recite before Nigerians. He doesn't even know if the projects exist.
Can anybody tell me if they hsve ever seen buhari go to supervise or even see the level of work on any project.
That's how I was shocked when Lai Mohammed listed some projects as achievement of buhari and was shocked to see an abandoned bridge in my town listed as completed, something that was last touched during the military era. Yet hundreds of millions had been retired as spent for it!
The corruption in this govt will shock Nigerians. They don't even make any attempt to do some work before siphoning the billions
Can you please mention those three projects you know that were mentioned by PMB that he has completed that have not been but only gulped billions of Naira?

And who told you ATIKU from your write up made those companies close shop? Some will just write without proper facts and some will just copy blindly...

Why is ATIKU running for president? Why is he roaming the streets..He should be in jail now na? No prove to substantiate all these claims..even your APC govt knows this...I am so baffled when people just come up with fallacies...If he made all these companies close shop, he should be in jail by now cos you and your writer have insinuated he is a thief...without empirical evidence to prove.... But APC said he was an asset in 2014
You are looking for empirical evidence because your intention is to write a chemical reaction using symbols or what?
There'll be no evidence or proof to tell if anyone steals from the Nigerian treasury.
The former petroleum minister is not a thief because the court's have not found her guilty.
James Ibori is not a thief because he's not been found guilty by the Nigerian court.
OBJ is also not in that list because no court will find him wanting of any crime.
If Abacha was alive we'll most likely not hear of abacha loot.
There are more than 20 ex-governors and incumbent ones who are notorious for stealing public funds but there'll be no proofs because we're in a country where such hardly comes to limelight.

Actually the data shows that there are more poor Nigerians under the PDP than now. From 112 Million in 2012, it has now reduced to 87 Million Nigerians. The number of extremely poor Nigerians is actually reducing now.
Probably yes and no.
What I was trying to say is that the NBS is running such statistics with a wrong template.
Just a few days we were told the President asked them to alter the statistics on unemployment rate by adding job creation arising from agriculture. Because from the general outlook it appears NBS figures are mainly based on white collar jobs and that has to change.

Facts about Extremely Poor Nigerians!

- OBJ/ ATIKU met extremely poor at 64 million in 1999 & took it to 85 million in 8yrs.
- Jonathan got it to over 112 million by 2012.
- Buhari has brought it down to less than 88 million.


Nigeria's population in poverty
1980: 17.1 million
1985: 34.7 million
1992: 39.2 million
1996: 67.1 million
2004: 68.7 million
2010: 112.47 million

Always take such statistics with a pinch of salt.
Even the Oil magnate Emeka Offor declared himself bankrupt the moment the presidential election went in favour of APC.

What is not clear is that, what template have they been using to give statistics about employment or unemployment?

Because if the template is only about white collar jobs then I feel every other statistics given by the NBS since 1999 till date is nothing but wash. We are still not yet in time with other nations and we claim to be developing!!

Peter Obi is not answering questions based on the platform of the PDP for reasons best known to him. He is doing whatever he is as an individual but he failed to inform his audience how he would change the economy of the country other than throwing figures and statistics.

You should also know that the budget for health as at 2014 was around #262B. Do the math again.
Peter Obi failed to tell us what amount he stipulated as budget in health in his state when he was governor. He should tell us that so we run a comparison to that of Nigeria.

There'll be no need for you to make trouble with your landlord. There are better things you can do with your time.
From your statement it seems you have time to look for an alternative place. Except you mean to say there ought to be some refund you're entitled from your landlord due to repairs you made.

In as much as PMB or VP were not in attendance which is bad, I think we should pay more attention to value and add value to the living rather than attending burials of persons just for show.

As regards why no federal delegation were in attendance, please what happened to the SP and his deputy or the Speaker and his Vice?

Or have Atiku forgotten they are still part of the FG ?

Politics › Re: Throwback:why Buhari Removed Fuel Subsidy – Osinbajo by bixton(m): 8:07pm On Dec 15, 2018
duni04:
I think a lot of Nigerians are guilty of ignorance in this issue of subsidy. The FG did not increase fuel price to N145. They simply put a cap on the price, above which no marketer is allowed to sell!
Fast forward 2years and the FG through the NNPC is now the only importer of petrol. Why? Because the other importers pulled out because they couldn't get forex to import. Even if they did, they would be selling at a loss because the N145 cap is still there while the price of oil has more than tripled from $30 in 2016 to $60 today. The NNPC is importing petrol at a massive loss and offsets this loss by using NLNG dividends to augment it's books.
The FG cannot transfer the tripled cost of petrol to the people at N220 because it simply won't fly! That is why the NNPC is still taking this loss/subsidy.
This kind of subsidy is very different from the PDP subsidy where there was plenty of forex for marketers to import products, but they would import very little and fraudulently claim they imported millions of litres of petrol or not import anything at all and yet get paid by the PDP led government.
The Nigerian media is very guilty of not letting Nigerians know exactly how this petrol subsidy works and how different it is from the PDP subsidy! This is something that affects everybody's life in Nigeria and judging from the comments here, Nigerians don't know anything about it! It's shameful!
The Nigerian media is complete Junk! I
Bravo bro. Thanks for educating the ignorant ones. I hope they can read through and understand.
What this administration is doing as regards the petroleum products for consumption cannot be regarded as subsidy. There's a term used specifically for such and I can't seem to remember.

I don't see how throwing up statistics will change the economy of Nigeria. People intend to know how you want to improve the standards and not tell them what they already know about it.
