This is to document the process of creating a 50 ton per day palm kernel processing plant.

This project is in 3 phases. 1st phase will process 10 tons of kernel per day.

Some planned costs: will update the actual cost as we go on.

Location: Delta State
Land cost: 700,000 naira
Machine cost: 5 million (1st phase, more machines to be installed as we go along)
Building: 2.5 million
Electricity connection: 500,000
Installation: 300,000

Presently bearing all the cost from my savings and loans. Might accept investors when the installation is finished and we are ready for production.

I am excited about the project and we are forging ahead.

danwa25:
Expenses incurred so far
1. Grater and presser 250k
2. Lister engine 220k
3. Automatic fryer 450k
4. 2 plots of land 300k
5. Agent fee/clearing of land 32k
6. Fencing 726,100k
Total 1,978,100k

Why will you fence a 300k land with 700k

Should have simply used the 700k to ensure that the building is secured.

Wishing you success in your business

Let Buhari Dredge River Niger and stop this rainy season propaganda.

This is an Insult to many people.

Dredge the river first.

They are coming for you. Those who don't know that the river swell by several metres during the raining season will soon come for your head.

So how much are you selling your battery?

Anyway, get lithium iron phosphate batteries and save yourself stress associated with lead acid batteries.

I have a dream, one day we shall have liquid flow batteries powering our homes cheaply. That day we shall use the sun by day and our reliable flow batteries at night. Then we will be laughing at the electricity companies.

70 tons of what? Shea nut or shea nut butter?

Will be following

Someone was saying in one of the threads a few days ago that armed robbers should come and fight for their customers.

Maybe this is the result.

Been dating my girl for almost 7 years now... We started from the university, i graduated and she has graduated too and we both live in different state. The truth ls i am a cheat, but i can bet my life she ain't.

Our relationship had been sustainable through phone calls and WhatsApp messages. I guess she is the type that understands and doesn't go out like that, if your woman has something doing and focused you guys can go for months.

We last saw each other January this year and we are on the 9th month already. If she can cope, it will work.

Should we tell him?

HOW TO PROCESS ALL RELEVANT GOVERNMENT CONTRACT DOCUMENTS (PENCOM, ITF, NSITF) AND A COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF ALL GOVERNMENT TENDERS AND BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES

The economic system of Nigeria being a blend of Government and private participation calls for a synergy between both partners in progress to formulate a course of action that will ensure the best qualified contractors, firms and companies in line with the Public Procurement Act (PPA) 2007 secure the right or license to implement Government projects that best suits public interest.

On the strength of the above premise, below are the eligibility requirements prospective bidders are obligate to present for a successful bid.
Firstly, before an entity can be classified as a company capable of processing a PENCOM, ITF and NSITF Compliance certificate for the purpose of a tender/expression of interest, such a body is expected to have been appropriately registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission and a Certificate of incorporation issued. Other documents issued upon completion of the registration process are Certified True Copies of Form CAC1.1 for newly registered companies and Form 2A, 2.1, and 7A for older companies.

For a successful tender/expression of interest to be accomplished, a copy of the Company’s income Tax Clearance Certificate (TCC) for the last three years preceding the invitation for tender/expression of interest must be presented.

To secure a TCC, a company must obtain a Company’s Taxpayers Identification Number (TIN) from a Federal Inland Revenue Services (FIRS) office. Then an application for the Company’s Income TCC has to be made to the FIRS with the following documents.
For new companies less than 6months:
1. Duly Completed Tax registration input form
2. Completed FIRS questionnaire for new taxpayers
3. A copy of the Certificate of incorporation, Memorandum and Articles of Association
4. Letter of appointment of a tax adviser and letter of acceptance.
5. Completed VAT registration Form (download link - www. ibechidoassociates.com/download-legal-documents/)

For companies older than 6months
1. Statement of Affairs or Audited Account.
2. Evidence of payment of pre-operational levy.

An evidence of current pension (PENCOM) compliance certificate valid till 31st December, of the bidding year is vital to a successful bid.
The following are the process and documents required before a Compliance certificate can be issued
1. Photocopy of certificate of incorporation
2. FIRS Tax Identification Number (TIN)
3. Processing of an EMPLOYER CODE with PENCOM
4. Registration of 3staff with a pension Fund Administrator (PFA)
5. Remittance of 18% of at least 3 staff salaries for Maximum of 36months
6. Processing of Group life insurance to cover at least 3 staff of the company

In addition, a proof of current Industrial Training Fund (ITF) Compliance certificate valid till 31st December, of the bidding year is fundamental for a successful tender.
The following are essential for registering an employer for an ITF compliance certificate:
1. Duly completed ITF Form 7A (download form link - www.ibechidoassociates.com/download-legal-documents/)
2. Original CAC certificate for sighting
3. Tax Clearance certificate
4. Current Audited Account
Furthermore, an evidence of current Nigerian Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF) Compliance certificate is key to a successful bid.
Below are indispensable for an application for the Certificate:
1. Tax Clearance certificate
2. CAC Certificate of Incorporation.
3. Evidence of remittance of 1% of 5 staff total salaries for a Maximum period of 72months.

In conclusion, for a successful bid to be achieved an evidence of Interim Registration Report from the National Database of Federal contractors, a Sworn affidavit, an Audited Account for the last 3years preceding the bid, Evidence of financial capacity to execute the contract are crucial.

ogogoromaster:
Okay, so now I’ve got a post about Melbourne out of the way it’s time for me to say a little something about Nigeria. With the exception of a week in October when I need to clear out my apartment, I’ve pretty much left Nigeria. My assignment there officially finished on 31st July, although I will have to return for business trips over the course of the next 3 years because the project I am on in Melbourne is for Nigeria.Somebody once said that there is much to write about Russia, but when one tries you can never find the words to write the first line. Nigeria is much the same, and indeed there are many similarities between the two countries. I have tried to describe Nigeria to people who have never been there, and failed on most occasions. A colleague of mine stopped telling people back home about the place because he was getting a reputation as somewhat of a bullshitter, even though he didn’t exaggerate anything. I was at a seminar in Paris some time ago and I was describing the working life in Nigeria to a group of Frenchmen. One of them quipped that I was exaggerating and that “it couldn’t be that bad”, which prompted another Frenchman, sitting beside me, to nudge me in the ribs and remark “wait until he does his Nigerian assignment”. He was based in Port Harcourt.Nigeria has a reputation, and I knew about it before I arrived. Most of what I’d heard proved to be completely true. Almost all of it, in fact. To get a general picture of Nigeria, just read the news, and you’ll not be far wrong. It isn’t a place like Russia, the US, or France which surprise visitors when they see the contrast between what they’ve imagined (based on exposure to their tourists or foreign policy) and the individuals they encounter. But beyond the general picture, there are some subtleties worth mentioning.It’s first important to understand that degree is as important as form. Russians, faced with criticism of corruption in their country, often retort that corruption is found everywhere, even in the UK. Which is true, but in many countries it does not infest every authority, office, and institute like it does in Russia. It is the degree, or extent, of corruption which makes Russia different from the UK, not the form. Understanding this concept is important in describing Nigeria.There is no getting away from the fact that corruption in Nigeria has infested almost every aspect of life, work, and society. I can’t think of a single area where I didn’t encounter a scam of some sort. Some of them were pretty normal – policemen hassling motorists for bribes, for example – with others being less common elsewhere. Filling brand named alcohol bottles with local hooch was widespread practice. Not so bad in itself, but these were being sold through supposedly legitimate suppliers and turning up in established bars. Others were unique to Nigeria. I knew a guy in charge of oil shipments for a foreign oil company who received a call from somebody in the authorities saying he was not going to release the multi-million dollar cargo until somebody had bought his cousin $10 worth of phone credit. My acquaintance found himself going to the shop, buying a phone card, and handing it over to some scruffy bloke who showed up at his office in order to allow his crude oil out of the country.The corruption, theft, and graft can take many forms: falsifying a CV (I don’t mean enhancing, I mean pretending you’re a Lead Piping Engineer of 12 years experience when actually, until yesterday, you were a fisherman); selling positions in a company; stealing diesel from the storage tanks you’re paid to protect; issuance of false material certificates; impersonating an immigration officer to access an office, from which you then tap up the people within to fund your latest venture; selling land which isn’t yours; deliberately running down the country’s refining capacity in order to partake in the lucrative import of fuels; falsifying delivery notes of said refined fuels in order to receive greater government subsidies; deliberately restricting the country’s power generation capacity in order to benefit from the importation of generators (which must be run on imported fuel); theft of half-eaten sandwiches and opened drink containers from the office fridge; tinkering with fuel gauges at petrol stations to sell customers short; conspiring with company drivers to issue false receipts indicating more fuel was supplied than actually was; supplying counterfeit safety equipment; falsifying certificates related to professional competence (e.g. rope access work); paying employees less than stipulated in their contract (or not at all); cloning satellite TV cards, meaning the legitimate user gets their service cut off when the other card is in use (the cards are cloned by the same people who issue the genuine cards); the list is literally endless. There is no beginning or end to corruption in Nigeria, it is a permanent fixture.Nepotism is rife: family members are employed and promoted before anyone else. Outright theft is rife: from a pen lying on a desk, to billions from the state coffers. Dishonesty is rife: from the state governors to the street urchin, lying to enrich yourself is the norm. You name the scam, it is being done in Nigeria. Eventually, nothing surprises you.As I said before, you’ll find such practices everywhere, but to nowhere near the extent found in Nigeria.Apparently it wasn’t always like this. There was a time, probably from around the 1970s to 1990s, when Nigeria had a reasonably diverse economy. Besides the oil and gas, they had agriculture, manufacturing and assembly (Peugeot set up an assembly plant in Nigeria in the mid-1970s), brewing (there is a both a Guinness and a Heineken brewery), refining, construction, and pharmaceuticals. Some of these survive today. There were decent universities, and students wishing to graduate had to apply themselves. Security wasn’t much of a concern to the average citizen.I don’t know the details, but at some point in the 1990s one of the military dictators decided to flood the place with oil money in order to buy support. This had the effect of drowning every other form of enterprise and ensuring that oil and gas was the only game in town. This is bad in itself, but by no means unique to Nigeria. What was worse is that this quickly instilled a mentality across Nigeria that there was a lot of money up for grabs, and getting your hands on it wasn’t in any way related to honest efforts or applying yourself to something constructive. Nigeria became a place where if you’re not getting your hands on some of the oil money, either directly or indirectly, then you’re going nowhere. With oil money washing over the whole country like a tidal wave, soon everyone was trying to secure their own piece of the action, using fair means or foul. Imagine throwing a huge box of sweets into a playgroup shouting “Grab what you can!”, and the chaos that ensues will be similar to what happened to Nigeria on a national scale.At least, this is what I gather happened – I may be wrong – but for sure, the current situation reflects what I’ve described. The economy is funded almost exclusively from oil and gas revenues, and everything else is merely feeding off that. The new hotels in Lagos, the growth of capital city of Abuja, the importation of luxury goods, the Audi and Porsche dealerships, the sky-rocketting real estate prices, the money earmarked for infrastructure projects, the increase in flight passengers, all of it is directly or indirectly linked to the oil money. Okay, maybe there is some hyperbole in there. Agriculture still makes up the lion’s share of GDP, and the services sector is booming. Advertising is a big industry in Lagos, although the most common thing you see advertised is advertising space. But nobody is going to get anywhere herding cattle, picking pineapples, or working in a sawmill. Even the owners won’t be earning that much, not if that’s their only income. There is very little opportunity to get rich, or even advance, unless you are somehow connected to the supply of oil money.One of the results of this national free-for-all is the formation of groups, societies, associations, and unions whose raison d’être is to obtain as much money and benefits for their members as possible. This isn’t much different from Europe in respect of trade unions, but groups and subgroups form at micro-levels with sometimes comical precision. The Lagos Association of Road Maintenance Engineers, Roundabout and Lay-by Division, 4th Department. The Nigerian Association of Water Truck Drivers, Lagos Chapter. Membership of one or more of these associations is both essential and compulsory: essential because an individual would get trampled very quickly in the general melee of Nigeria, and compulsory in the sense that you have almost no chance of being allowed to quietly ply your trade without paying dues to some group or other. It’s not clear what the legal standing of a lot of these groups is, but it’s often hard to tell how they differ from a standard extortion racket. One of the most powerful unions in Lagos, the transport union, used to shake down any okada (motorcycle taxi) driver passing through their checkpoints, claiming the money was used “to protect them from the police”. I doubt the money was used in such a manner, but people do need protection from the police in Lagos. Not that the okada drivers had any say in the matter: membership was automatic, and the union muscle would beat any non-compliant driver or confiscate his vehicle. The power of the oil and gas workers unions is legendary, ensuring their members enjoy pay and benefits which are the highest of any local staff in the world, and often outstrip those of the expatriates.This in itself might not be so damaging, but ubiquitous to all competing factions is a rapacity the likes of which I doubt can be found anywhere else on such a scale. There is a culture so prevalent that it is a defining characteristic of Nigeria whereby no amount is ever enough, and no sum too small to be pilfered. There comes a point in the career of most people who have gotten rich, either legitimately or otherwise, where they stop chasing the small stuff and are only interested in adding to their pile if the increase will be substantial. The police chief of a sizeable Thai resort town has his fingers in many pies, but he’s not interested in shaking down street vendors. His minions might in order to supplement their salaries, but generally once the boss has his cut of most of the action, he’s not interested in sweeping up every last baht. As a result, commerce can continue relatively unmolested. The same is roughly true amongst the Sheikhs of the Middle East. Bung the Crown Prince a few million for the contract, and he’ll allow the project activities to go ahead pretty freely. He’s not interested in making an extra $10k by insisting you hire his brother’s lorry fleet to transport the gravel. Such restraint may also be practical: the dodgy official in the UK isn’t going to be interested in taking pennies if he risks getting fired or going to jail, he’ll have a minimum price he’ll work for.But Nigeria has the same problem I saw in Russia: an almost pathological insistence of securing for yourself 100% of everything that is available, and not a kopek or kobo less. I have observed before that Russians would rather have 100% of nothing than 50% of something, and the same is true – but on a far greater scale – in Nigeria. The inequality in Nigeria is horrific. The middle-classes are tiny, those who are neither stinking rich nor mired in poverty. As it happens, most of the Nigerians I worked with fell into this category: lucky enough to have well-paying jobs, but not ordering Porsche Cayennes for each family member. Statistically, almost all Nigerians are dirt poor. A very few are stinking rich. Again, a manageable problem in itself, but the rich haven’t finished yet. Indeed, they’re only just getting started. I spoke to a couple of Angolans in a seminar once, and they said that although their ruling classes had enriched themselves immeasurably, they were at least spending some money on the country, and improvements were noticeable. The reason the Russians accept with a shrug the siloviki helping themselves to millions is because they (rightly) feel this is inevitable and – more importantly – life is actually improving in Russia and has been doing so since they came to power. Sure, it’s a slow improvement and life is still hard, but they are at least moving in the right direction (for how long is a discussion for another post). There have been improvements in infrastructure in Russia, the new Sheremetovo airport to name one example.By contrast – and I challenge any Nigerian reading this to disagree – there have been no discernible improvements in Nigeria in the past decade (outside of Abuja, where all the politicians happen to live). http://www.desertsun.co.uk/blog/?p=1734

This is one hell of an assessment, generally not too far from the truth.

enigmatique:
This thread is a sibling of the thread on agritech crowdfunding platforms (linked below). It is birthed as a result of the post further below, which seeks to look beyond agritech platforms that crowdfund their operations to companies that crowdfund (or are trying to crowdfund) their operations in real estate, micro-lending etc. Just like the agritech thread, we are here to share ideas, review the performance of these companies and provide intel that all Nairalanders can use when doing their due diligence into whether or not to invest in these companies' offerings. We are also going to be looking at ONLY non-agritech companies in this thread as we intend to diversify our portfolio with non-agricultural opportunies. Again, read the post below for more info about "why".

Like I said this is a sibling to the agritech thread, so if you come across this thread and decide to follow it, I strongly encourage you to follow that thread too.

Now, let the discussion begin.

*CYBER CRIME : A BILLION NAIRA INDUSTRY.*

*... Dissuading the youths*
*... Rehabilitating convicted offender..*

By: Amb Timothy Nwachukwu (08097311499)



It is very glaring that no country aspiring to greatness can afford to ignore the contributions of its youth or allow them to constitute a major threat to the realisation of its policies and programmes.


Unfortunately, the current social, economic and political trends have left a sour taste in the mouth of the youth; particularly, those from poor social and economic backgrounds.


*A finger of blame should also be pointed at the portrayal of cybercriminals in popular our movies. The internet underworld has made appearances in movies and they have generally been portrayed in a positive light. 70 per cent of hackers and online scamers featured in films were portrayed as heroes, thus setting a negative precedent for the youths.*

Globally, The Cyber crime industry is worth more than $388 billion more than the illegal drugs market in heroin, cocaine and marijuana. In Nigeria, according to a report made available by Nigeria Deposit Insurance Cooperation (NDIC) Nigerian businesses loose over 270 billion naira to Cyber crime annually. Report also revealed that over 81 per cent of cyber security incidents in the country are either unreported or unresolved, leaving room for the proliferation and escalation of illicit cyber activities.

The involvement of youths in Cyber crime related activities has become worrisome to both public and private enterprises, hence the need to address the fundamental issues which attracts and leads the youths into cyber crime.

*Apparently, the present high value for money and other acquisitions regarded as yardsticks for determining the status of individuals in the society seems to have worsened the plight of the youth. This is because they have eroded the societal values for dignity of labour and moral integrity as they direct their energies towards earning a living through foul means.*


*The distinct increase in youth cybercrime, suggest that more youths are committing cybercrimes simply to reap the large illicit rewards that it can provide. There will always be some youths on the look out for an easy money.*


*An increasing number of the high-profile data breaches, financial cybercrimes and DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks against small companies, corporates and individual targets alike involve young people.*


There is no doubt that today’s youths are becoming more and more willing to commit cybercrimes. One question that needs to be answered is ‘What can be done to address this problem'?*

*Our Anti graft agencies has been celebrating the bursting, arrest and conviction of youths involved in Cyber crimes with little or no attention paid to their rehabilitation.*


*The best way to halt the youth cybercrime phenomenon is through widespread education. There is an urgent for youths to be taught the legal and ethical rules of the internet, as well as how to use the internet responsibly.*


The UK and US have adopted specific initiatives to reduce the instances of youth cybercrime. Targeting teens with highly technical skills, the two governments created a contest aimed to test the skills of young hackers and to attract them to the idea of using their skills for positive purposes, rather than becoming cybercriminals.


*In one of the US challenges, competitors were required to analyse a hard drive to find evidence to convict criminals, while in another they had to defend a network from attacks.*

*The aim of the programme was to encourage young hackers to consider careers in internet security, either for the government or private corporations, rather than using their skills for criminal motivations.*


*However, this Campaign Against Crime, An Initiative of Anambra Security Watch has earmarked plans to address all the loopholes and fundamental issues which give rise to youth involvement in Cyber crimes.*

2face going to farm with armed bodyguard.

Anyway, that is one hell of a political farm, nice try but wrong crop spacing. Much weeding will be required due to the wrong crop spacing and yields will be lower than optimum.

10 hours a day is a very good start. So you can also testify of the improved electricity supply in your area in Lagos. That's great!

People like you are the problem we have in Lagos.

What has the state government done to improve the electricity situation in Lagos State. Did the state government build any power plant? Did they build any distribution substation or did they start importing extra electricity from outside Nigeria for the use of Lagos citizens, the answer to all these is no.

Lagos is nothing but a glorified slum, is is glorified because people like you glorify the slum called Lagos.

No pipe borne water
No central sewage system
Terrible traffic situation
Epileptic power supply
Smelling environment
Flooded localities
Bad roads
Polluted ground water are all legacies of Lagos yet people like you will come online and be praising the rubbish.

That is how they were praising Ambode until tinubu ordered them to stop the praise.

Op something must be wrong with you for saying god is great, was it god that directed the man to rape the kid, she is not even a teenager yet
