I also got thesame message just now.

Foolish questions

momexcellency: Thank you so much for your quick response. Please when you are ready to continue the teaching on feeding, marketing etc. About grasscutters, please consider my location, I live in Abuja, hope it is marketable in Abuja and the hot weather what is the effect on them? Thank you as I await your reply,

u are welcome. Abuja ? i am also planning to settle in Abuja once i finish my service february next year. I currenty live in Kaduna.

Back to your question, the location doesnt really matter because grass cutters love heat. infact, you must protect them from cold weather.

Feeding: you can feed them twice a day i.e morning and evening. Grass cutters feed mainly on grass. in other words you dont need to spend money buying feeds unlike other animals. All you need is cuttlas and a pear of jungle boot. You can also intruduce them with concentrates such as corn, rice, pawpaw, bone(to steengthen their teeth) patato peels, sugar cane peels etc

Marketibility: Since its Abuja you dont have a problem, to be frank with you grass cutter meat is very cost compare to other meats. A single grass cutter can go for 2,000 to 5.000 naira depending on they size. Grass cutters are very big in size o no thesame with those common ones you see in the bush, they can even weight 9kg. Your target audience should be hotels, restourants, eateries, individuals and prospective grass cutter farmers. just make sure you have enough of them so that when ever your customers are in need of meat you should be able to give them regular supply.

This is their feeding trough. Its made from clay.

yemmit90: @Emmysteve, Grass cutters is more easier and less risky than snail farming?

Sth!

what do you mean sir?

Theben: Funny enough, 90% of those who have commented on this thread can not mention 3 players each from both teams. And i can bet that majority of posters here would dose off 15 minutes into the match.

Football ought to entertain. Stop toturing yourselves under the guise of 'we're promoting our own', it is needless.

Foooool back out of this thread before i open my eye.. May amadioha strike your left yanshh there.

@momexcellency I think i can help a little and leave the rest to the ogas at the top of this thread. If you have the finance, ofcox you can start the two at thesame time. Personally, i think rearing grass cutter is more easier and less risky than Snail farming. You dont need a big farm land before starting since you can confine them. As you can see a cage in my previous post, that would accomadate upto 20 grass cutters. you can start grass cutter farming with a family. A family of grass cutters is made up of 1 male and four female making five. A family goes for 45, 000 naira. As a fresher, its advisable you buy them at four months old and they start reproducing when they are 6 or 7 months. Grass cutters reproduces twice in a year with an average of 6kids and a maximun of 10 at once. Abeg permit me to stop here, tommorow i shall continue with their marketing, feeding, etc of grass cutters. Dont get it twisted, i be learner like you. I am only sharing my knowledge becouse i am also a potential grass cutter farmer. GOOD NITE

Make more money raising guinea fowls

Entrepreneurs are reaping from little known
animals with promising future, such as the
raising of guinea fowls, geese, rabbits,
grasscutters, quails, ducks, snails, etc. This is
because the business is easy to start and it
requires a small capital. Our nationwide
seminars are initiated to drive investments in
agriculture, skills and develop a robust
economic base that can withstand the shock
that will come after oil.
For people who want to start their own
businesses, I will advise them to try raising
guinea fowls for a steady income. Given the
state of the economy, guinea fowl farming is
one of the most lucrative ventures for small
scale farmers. Guinea fowl is a valuable
genetic resource for evolving a low input-
grain saving poultry alternative for production
in the developing world. Today’s farmers
should embrace creative subsistence farming
to meet the food needs of the family and even
to augment income.
At Jovana Farms, we are looking inwards and
focusing on the neglected, but vital sources of
animal protein for household diet and
employment generation. Therefore, our
nationwide agro-seminars are intended to
provide useful information on the various
aspects of animal production, create
awareness and thus motivate Nigerian
farmers, investors, job seekers, retirees,
students to get involved in animal farming for
profits.
Many people have never seen a guinea fowl,
not talk of hearing of the fowl. Guinea fowls
are galliformes, a group encompassing all
chicken-like birds. Native to Africa, they are
known for travelling in large, gregarious
flocks. There are seven species of guinea fowl,
of which the helmeted pearl is by far the
most common. Others are the white and the
lavender, etc.
Guinea fowls are raised mainly for their tasty
meat and eggs. The meat has a taste similar to
other game birds and has many nutritional
qualities that make it a worthwhile addition to
the diet. The meat is lean, dry and rich in
essential fatty acids. The meat has a high
yield of 80 per cent after processing with
excellent meat to bone ratio. Many people
don’t know that it is more profitable to raise
guinea fowl than chicken.
The business
Chicken and turkey farmers keep guinea fowls
to ward off poultry-eating predators.
Ranchers turn them loose to discourage
rattlers and copperheads. Rural dwellers like
the way they gobble down diseases-carrying
ticks. Orchardists use them to drive off
marauding birds. Farmers put them to work
patrolling for row crop pests. Guinea fowls
perform these functions without damaging
crops because they much prefer insects,
weeds and seeds.
Guinea fowl farming can start with a unit
normally called a foundation stock, which is
sold for N25,000 depending on the specie. A
unit comprises two males and eight females.
It may interest you to know that you could get
fast-growing species of guinea fowls and other
animals, including large quantities of geese
and quail eggs from our farm.
Rearing systems
Three methods of rearing guinea fowls are
free-range, semi free-range and intensive
systems. When kept intensively, low light
intensity should be used to reduce possible
flightiness.
Guinea fowls are difficult to confine in open
yards unless their wings are pinioned or one
wing is clipped. In their wild state, guinea
fowls mate in pairs. This tendency prevails
also among domesticated guineas if males and
females in the flock are equal in number.
They are hardy birds; therefore, they do not
suffer from many diseases as compared to
chickens.
Feeding
Those who believe in the virtue of hard work
are advised to try raising guinea fowls. A good
commercial chicken or turkey mash will give
satisfactory results, with birds either on free
range or in confinement. In the wild arena,
the guinea fowl eats a variety of foods but
most important are weed seeds and waste
grains, which fall to the ground after the
harvesting of crops. Some common guinea
fowl diets include: fruits, berries, seeds, grass,
insects, worms, molluscs and frogs. They have
gained popularity for use in reducing insects’
population in gardens, snail farms and around
the home.
Reproduction
The guinea fowl can begin to lay eggs as young
as 16 -17 weeks old and can lay up to 120
eggs or more in a year. In tropical Africa,
laying only occurs during the rainy season
and a few weeks that follow. A clutch size of
12-15 eggs is common. A guinea fowl’s egg is
smaller than that of hens, and on the average,
weighs 40g and has very hard shells, which
are difficult to test for fertility by candling.
Incubation period is 26-28 days.

Below is my cage. 6ft long, 3ft wide. Its actually bigger than its looks

Thank you very much Unstopable and Dr Isa for ur concern, i really apprecite. I think i av settle. Bellow is the pix. Thanx.

PurestBoy: My oga pls also avoid words like ''person'' and ''retardeen"

Whats this one saying

naijaborn001: Wetin concern me? Shey ASUU don call of strike ni?

Mr man if you dont have a point pls back out, Not every body is a student.

I saw this article writen by one @Deo of KickOffNigeria site. Please read and share your though.

For people who think that 94 set is better
than the present eagles, i diametrically
disagree with them. Remember that agianst
Zambia in 1994 nations cup finals, the super
eagles struggled against a totally new and
home based zambian team (apart from
bwayla and one other player) to win the the
cup. If we may recall, the main core of the
zambian team all perished in a disastrous
plane crash just few months before the
nations cup and they had to raise an entirely
new team for 94 nations cup. Yet with all
our said talented players, we came from a
goal behind to struggle and win that cup. Yet
some people have refused to acknowledge
and appreciate the present eagles team who
not only played zambia(as defending
champion) in the group stage but went
ahead to beat ivory coast(which the 94 team
struggled to beat by penalty shoot out in 94
nations cup) during regulation time.
Also remember that the present ivory coast
team is the best that ivory cost has ever
assembled and is stronger that their 1994
team in terms of exceptional talents like
kalou gervinho, drogba, yaya toure, kolo
toure etc and yet the present team beat
them during regulation time..
it will also be recalled that the 94 team had
to wait anxiously for their last match against
algeria to qualify for world cup, but the
present eagles already had an advantage
from addis ababa before our last match in
calabar which invariably means that nigeria
already qualified before our last match.
without sentiment, prejudice or bias, I
humbly submit that from the objective,
factual and reasonable point of view, the
present super eagles are better (especially in
terms of positive results) than the 94 squad,
though 94 squad might have had better
individual talents. The fulcrum of my
submission is based on the fact that football
is based on results and not necessarily on
exceptional talents. Do not get me wrong, i
never said that exceptional talents are not
good. All i said is that the nitty gritty of
football is on results and not on exceptional
talents in a team.
Finally, Keshi has done a good job to build
the present super eagles team. Let us
support, appreciate, and encourage him and
our super eagles player instead of making
unnecessary comparisons to discredit all his
hard works and that of the players who took
the bull by the horn even when our super
eagles hit the rock bottom by failing to
qualify for nations cup for the first time.
Let us us stop using such disparaging
remarks like " the super eagles struggled to
qualify for world cup" just because some
of our favorite players are not yet in the
team. Up super eagles!! Up Keshi!!!, Up
NFF!!! Up Nigeria!!!. I am always proud to be
a Nigerian.

Why should you compare Golden eaglet with super eagles? is something wrong with your brain? super will win the team of the year

Like play like play, see where Stephen Keshi landed the Super eagles in 2013lllllll God bless you stephen Keshi for restoring sanity to our football

Good day every body, the thread has being silent for a while now.
I dont know wheather to be happy or sad now because i am really confused and several thought has being runing my mind now. As promised, my cage is ready (sorry i couldnt snap it but with do it tomorrow) The cage is well constructed but the problem is that its too big, beyond my expectation. The size is 6ft long and 3ft wide. I cant even lift it, not even two people. I have negotiated with peagut driver to bring it down my house. I dont know how it will enter the house where i live now. are you there Dr Issa and Unstopable.

Super Eagles tend to play well against stronger opposition than weaker teams. They shown lack of seriousness against Ethiopia yesterday knowing fully well that our ticket to Brazil has been secured in the first leg and that early goal. Again, they were more concern about the game against Italy than the already won battle against Ethiopia.
I would have predicted an outright win against Italy if not for the time frame. Be that as it may, i fore see a draw.

Sorry, this post has been hidden.

My only concern is the time frame. BTW, another chance for Sunday Mba to prove himself. I still believe in that guy despite passing a trial moment of his carreer.

*Walks into the stadium, clears seat and sits down* With my green and with jersy

Emenike and Ideye combination will render
Ethiopian defence useless

Nigeria XI vs Ethiopia: Vincent Enyeama (c); Elderson Echiejile, Godfrey Oboabona, Kenneth Omeruo, Efe Ambrose; Ogenyi Onazi, Obi Mikel, Victor Moses; Ahmed Musa, Brown Ideye & Emmanuel Emenike.

egbaguy: a lot of players in the eagles dnt deserve being there..........

Dont allow me reign curses on you

bizibrain: Some people also av dat feelings in d first leg in ethiopia, its notin dude, u just anxious.

All d matches Nigeria won dis year, nt all Nigerians admit Nigeria will win(including thahiti and ivory coast encounter), so its normal.

Gbam!

Nigeria 5-0 Ethiopia.
