I could read someone even said they planted since 2020, why aren't they producing now...

My thought is: how many years does it take a palm tree to start producing fruits?
If you can get the idea of this, then you wouldn't even be making reckless or careless post or asking questions out of ignorance.

These guys planted from scratch and it takes a typical palm tree 6-8 years to grow (according to findings), yet someone was expecting huge revenue from trees yet to even mature.

One of the plans is to acquire an existing farm which can fast tract things, yet some wouldn't stop have issues over a sector they knew next to nothing about.

Sorry, I have sent it to Mercy through email

The forecast is not from Ellah Lakes but from Meristem Research. They have analysts that research different sectors of the economy.

The essence of this research is to guide investors about their expectations.

Up till now the management of Ellah Lakes have not been able to give us their forecast for the next 5 years

emmanuelewumi:
@ Emmaodet can you share report on Ellah Lakes here. I am finding it difficult to attach the document

Streetinvestor2:
When did they release this forecast. Pls don't loud it before they say u want price down to buy cheap

⚡The US is sending more warships, including a missile cruiser and a submarine, to the southern Caribbean to target drug cartels. This follows last week’s deployment of three amphibious ships with 4,500 troops.

⚡Secretary of State Marco Rubio talks about why the US is preparing to invade Venezuela:

Maduro's elections were completely rigged. Russia's presence in Venezuela is noticeable, and Iran's influence is growing.

The Iranians are building drone manufacturing plants there, right in our hemisphere.

Additionally, the Venezuelan regime issues illegitimate but genuine passports to Hezbollah forces.

People in close countries eg, Philippines, India, Bangladesh and lots of other countries with poorer people than naija will fill such roles, people that can fly out with little money to their countries for the 3 month exclusion period yet earning will still make sense.
As a naija person imagine the cost of ticket from naija to new Zealand, then think of flying out then returning every year. At the end of the day no meaningful saving go de.

We don't know where you live or the standard of living you had when things were good. Someone who lives in Ikoyi has a different standard of living compared to someone who lives in Ogudu, and the cost of living in Ikoyi is also different from that in Dutse GRA.

Where do you live? Does your wife work? What do you do for a living? Do you pay rent or own your property? What assets do you have? What is the age range of the 500 children that you have? Why did you go on to have 500 children in the first place? Were you not alive when Buhari destroyed the Nigerian economy between 2015 - 2019? So, why have 500 children then blaming an innocent Tinubu? Tinubu sef does not have 500 children, nor his son Seyi.

No go find work..the way you reason eh
At 25,are you ready to marry your female coursemate? Too young to marry her,too broke to care for her .you want to be knacking her for half decade and she will do abortions for you till you are ready. If at all you ever will be.
Except church guys whose parents sponsor the wedding most young guys aren't even matured emotionally for serious relationship.
The older guys are not the best option too but which is better?
A brokie that will not marry you and you will not see shishi or the rich guy that will not marry you but can help change your destiny small.
How many times have you seen a rich man blackmail his ex or share her nudes?


Heal from the rejection you face as a broke guy and God will give you a good wife. Even if you later become rich and find wife don't be like emma.odet that hasnt forgiven women for rejecting him when he was broke.


Ps:the 38 year old didn't trap him into marriage but just wanted a child
You can't see a woman in her 30s that isn't trying to get preggy.
Most don forget marriage already and are looking for child. So knack those women with caution.just blink at them small and they will get preggy

⚡Ukraine is reportedly arming and training Islamist militants in Africa to target Russian allies, according to a new Izvestia investigation citing unnamed sources.

Ukrainian GUR operatives, allegedly using diplomatic cover, delivered drones to the ADF, an Islamist group active near the Uganda–DR Congo border.

Objective: destabilize pro-Russian governments and strike Russian PMC-linked sites in the region.

Ukrainian UAV instructors have also been observed in Mali, CAR, and Sudan. They are said to train militants in advanced drone warfare and have been seen using NATO country passports.

DR Congo and Russia maintain strong partnerships, making them a reported target of this covert sabotage strategy

so one should marry for money not love?

franchasng:
I acknowledge the points you raised as very big factors in what has been responsible for increase in poverty among Nigerians.


But those aside, how about those that have good jobs but refused to control the way and manner they produce children with the belief that God will take care of them?

Birthing more than 2 kids is not ideal for average income earners in Nigeria of today. Couples should restrict their child bearing to just 2 whether boy or girl, they are all the same in our evolving world of today. Gone are the days of seeing a male child as a superior child just because of lineage continuation.



Many guys got good job, started well and ended up marrying one zero ambition, lazy, zero talent, zero skill, zero dream girl in the name of mistaken love, and such marriage end up destroying all their hardwork and future prospect.


Marriage is very critical to every man's future. Who you marry matters a lot. I am married and I am telling you this from experience.

Many great guys doing well for themselves got slowed down and some sent back to square one by the woman they married.


Don't waive laziness aside. There are lazy Nigerians, or haven't you heard about some Nigerians that traveled to western countries with opportunities and came back home in the name of the culture there is too different, who does that if not the rich? Examples abound all over the place so don't think there are no poor Nigerians that became poor out of their own laziness and zero ambition/push for success.



Let me stop here for now

BREAKING!! RUSSIA STRIKES AZERBAIJANI (ISRAELI) OIL ASSETS IN ODESSA!!

Russian Geran-2 drones have struck the Usatovo area in Ukraine’s Odessa region, targeting both a rail station and a fuel terminal operated by SOCAR, Azerbaijan’s state oil company.

This follows a similar Russian strike on August 6, when a SOCAR oil depot in Orlivka was hit, injuring employees and damaging the facility.

SOCAR operates energy infrastructure across Ukraine, including terminals and logistics hubs. These repeated strikes have raised alarms in Baku.

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev condemned the attacks and warned that Azerbaijan may reconsider its ban on supplying weapons to Ukraine if Russian strikes on Azerbaijani-linked energy sites continue.

These incidents come amid sharply rising tensions between Moscow and Baku, with SOCAR’s presence in Ukraine becoming an unexpected flashpoint in the broader conflict.

My issue is married women withholding sex from their husbands. Aside from outsiders dictating to someone how to spend their money, there is nothing I detest than a married woman who deliberately denies her husband sex even when the man fulfills his side of being a husband.

The tales from married men of being denied sex, begging for sex and doing all sorts just to make their wives happy all in the bid to get sex is very worrisome. At the same time, the man gets criticised when he goes outside. I'm yet to read any pastor talk about this issue.

Indeed, they are not just on the bourse. They are right here in our eyes and noses.

Like I always say, there is nothing wrong in getting your fingers burnt. Just make sure you put the experience in your CV.

Another thing to consider is the quality of the earnings.

Some profits are not backed by cash.

I expect a free cash flow conversion of at least 70%

That is free cash flow/profit after tax.

Profit should also be from operation. Some businesses that are popular here made profits through the disposal of their assets or tax credits. This is not sustainable

Continuous reduction in ROE and margins are also red flags
