No Stipend, No Motivation — Pay TVET Trainees Now!

Delays in stipend payments are not just administrative issues—they directly affect the morale of trainees and trainers. When motivation drops, the overall vision and success of the program are put at risk.

This concerns the 6-month and 1-year TVET (Technical and Vocational Education and Training) program implemented by the Federal Government of Nigeria through the Ministry of Education, aimed at equipping young Nigerians with practical, employable skills. A program of this importance should reflect efficiency, accountability, and commitment to its beneficiaries.

Stipends should be paid promptly to sustain commitment, focus, and productivity among participants. We must also move away from the corrupt practices seen in past programs, where payments were delayed, funds were mismanaged, and starter packs were diverted.

The youth should not continue to be deceived with half or empty promises. We deserve accountability, transparency, and action—not words alone.

If we truly want national growth, then integrity must guide every process. When young people are supported and valued, they are empowered to gain skills, contribute meaningfully, and build a stronger future for the country.

We call on all relevant stakeholders to act now:

Let’s keep raising our voices—respectfully, consistently, and collectively.

Feeding Your Flock: The Key to Healthy Sheep
Proper nutrition is the cornerstone of successful sheep rearing. Join us as we explore the essentials of sheep feeding to keep your flock healthy and thriving.



Balanced Diet:

Learn how to provide a balanced diet that meets your sheep's nutritional needs, enhancing their overall well-being.

In Nigeria, a balanced diet for your sheep might include a combination of locally available resources such as good-quality grass or forage, maize bran, and protein-rich feed supplements like groundnut cake or soybean meal. This mix ensures they get the right balance of carbohydrates, proteins, and vitamins for healthy growth.

Forage Management:

Discover the art of managing pastures to ensure a continuous and nutritious food supply for your flock.

Efficient forage management in Nigerian sheep farming involves rotational grazing in different paddocks. In the dry season, consider planting drought-resistant forage crops like Elephant grass or Stylo to maintain a year-round food source.

Supplementary Feeding:

Explore the benefits and best practices of supplementary feeding for optimal growth and health.

During the dry season in Nigeria, when pasture quality decreases, supplement your sheep's diet with agro-industrial byproducts like cassava peels, yam peels, or maize stover. This keeps them healthy and productive, even when fresh forage is scarce.

Stay tuned for Day 5, where we'll delve into sheep health and essential care practices.

Choosing the Perfect Sheep Breed for Your Farm

When it comes to successful sheep rearing, selecting the right breed is very important. Each breed comes with its own unique characteristics and advantages, we will fosus on our indegenous breeds which include:
1. Ouda sheep
2. Yankasa
3. Weat African Dwarf (WAD) and
4. Balami sheeps.

Today, we'll explore how to make the best choice for your farm.

How to Select the Best Sheep Breed

1. Purpose: Determine your primary goal. Are you raising sheep for meat, wool, milk, or multiple purposes? Different breeds excel in various areas, so align your choice with your farm's objectives, for our program, we will be focusing on meat production as this is the mostly demanded product among other sheep products in Nigeria.

2. Climate: Consider your local climate. Some sheep breeds are hardier in cold weather, while others thrive in warmer conditions. Choose a breed that can withstand your region's climate. You will agree that will the WAD thrive in the southern part of the country, the Ouda and Yankasa do well in the North. It requires time and expertise to stabilise the ones not indegenous to a particular region.

3. Size: Think about the size of your farm and available space. Larger breeds may require more room, while smaller ones can be more manageable in smaller areas.

4. Disease Resistance: Check for breed-specific disease resistance. Some breeds are more resilient to common sheep ailments, reducing veterinary costs and stress.

5. Market Demand: Research market demand for sheep products in your area. Some breeds are more popular with consumers, potentially leading to higher profits.

6. Temperament: Assess the temperament of the breed. Some are docile and easy to handle, while others may be more spirited. Choose a breed that aligns with your handling preferences and experience.

Factors to Consider in Sheep Selection

- Conformation: Look for well-proportioned sheep with healthy body conformation. This indicates overall health and fitness.

- Lambing Ease: Evaluate the breed's reputation for ease of lambing. Smooth lambing can reduce stress and labor during lambing season. Remember that easy breeding will also provide more offsprings and thereby increasing profits to the farmer.

Remember, there's no one-size-fits-all answer. It's all about finding the breed that aligns with your farm's goals and resources.

Do you know that population
of Qatar is less than 4m ? Tell me why their
resources won't be sufficient. When an average
home in Nigeria has about 5 members of the
family and population of about 200m. So don't
shame Nigeria bro

Do you also know that Nigeria is only 10% of Chinese population and they are doing far better than us.

Population is not the problem

When will this joke end.
Heaven won't fall if Nigeria invade Niger and remove the illiterate coup plotters.
If the overfed buffoon who called himself the leader of the government wants to
become president, he should resign from the army and join a political party.

Heaven won't fall abi?
I hope you and only your family will be involved in the war

[quote author=TooNoisy post=113994437]Keep deceiving yourselves. Peter Obi will not get 25% in any northern state. He is unknown over there.

He is not known in Osun, Ogun, Ekiti, Ondo and Oyo. No chance of him getting 25% in these SW states.

He wouldn't get 25% in Edo and Delta for sure. Oshiomole/Obaseki will secure Edo for APC/PDP. Okowa will secure Delta for PDP as he is on the ballot.

Obi cannot win any South South State. Udom will secure Akwa Ibom for PDP. Duoye Diri will do same in Bayelsa. Wike will probably join APC or at least remain in PDP. Cross Rivers will be split between 3 parties. [/quote

Please be careful, most of the agricultural investment company now are scammers.
It is better you do it yourself or partner with a trusted person physically.

Then i need to tell you that it is very hard to make 40k profit monthly on 200k investment.

Last year when the whole world was in chaos due to the effect of the covid-19 pandemic, a lot of people decided to think outside the box and diversify into various investment plans so as to ease the difficulty they were going through and also plan for the future.

Various investment companies including GreenEagle, TheMap.ng, Goat meat, and others used this opportunity to scam Nigerians their hard earned funds and refuse to pay even the capital let alone the ROI as agreed before collecting the funds.

Below is an instagram post about GreenEagle investment, others will be shared later.

Nigerians should be careful where they invest their money.
