PoliticsRe: Agunechemba Busts Kidnap Syndicate, Arrests Suspect, Recovers 14 Guns, Others by epainos: 5:03pm On Jan 31, 2025
I think one needs to apply to carry like 2 very good hand pistols having magazines of around minimum of 20 rounds. And if one is very good at shooting the head and heart without missing, one will single handedly eradicate these amateurs. Just look at what they call weapons. Lol.
RomanceRe: Nigerian Men Be Romantic by epainos: 2:35pm On Jan 31, 2025
Looks like this person actually understands how to create viral content. First, she noticed that romance sells on NL, and she plugged into it. At the right time, she dropped her fliers without anyone noticing she is actually advertising her business. Quite creative.
PoliticsRe: Court Strikes Out Afe Babalola's defamation Suit Against Farotimi by epainos: 4:52pm On Jan 29, 2025
If I were Dele, I would be silent too. Lol. Afe Babalola has seen he is heading to a bad end. Lol.

Does it make sense? He tried to get rid of the books in Naija stores, and cos of nonsense Naija, he got it done. He went to Amazon where the books sold madly, and his request was trashed. Lol. Dele was not worried cos the income from amazon is actually over 90% of his income. Those books in Naija stores are pirated. Lol. So, Afe Babalola even helped Dele fight piracy unknowingly. Hahahhaha.

Now, maybe he saw that it is going to end bad (maybe not.....not sure) for him, and he said that obas begged him. Obas begged him, but the book is still out there hurting him and his reputation, and Dele told him to his face that he is a corrupt lawyer. Afenifere, the Yoruba well known group has recently appointed Dele as their secretary on top of all this drama. Hahaha.

Remember that some other lawyers too mentioned in the book as corrupt sued Dele too. What about them? Ahahhaa.


Dele looks like the winner here. If Afe Babalola is truly innocent, shouldn't he clear his name? His name is in the mud, and see...this is an everlasting stain the way I am seeing it.

Does anyone have a counter view to mine. Please, kindly share it cos I want to read counter views. How can a reputable lawyer allow such to go like that even at his age (over 90) knowing this might be the last chance he has to clear his name. History will never be fear to him. Or does it mean he has accepted his guilt and does not want to escalate the situation again? Maybe he thought bullying Dele would bend him. Dele is stubborn. As in ...I don't know who is more stubborn between Sowore and Dele.

It is well. Afe Babalola....hmmm....It appears that his reputation is mud. Can not we see how Femi Falana acted to make VeryDarkMan twist his words? Dele was still stubborn here and said he will rather go to prison. Hmmm. Afe Babalola...history will not be kind to him. This case will forever hunt his reputation. Chai. This baba eventually turned Dele into a hero here. Mehn!
PhonesRe: Microsoft In Talks To Acquire Tiktok Amidst Ongoing Security Concerns by epainos: 1:08am On Jan 29, 2025
China has no say because they are the first bully. Lol. They made sure most American apps are banned in their nation. X is banned is China for almost 2 years. Lol. Whatsapp too for over 5 years now. Lol. Yet without the US all the apps and tech they are building are nothing. Let's all balance these things. Let's not blame the US. China is a mad nation. If they get to become the World power, China will bully everyone. The US to me is still fair, considerate, and accommodating. I prefer this US reign to any useless BRICS nonsense. Those nations there are somethings else. They all have something in common. They are are mad nations. Lol. Russia, China and South Africa are the "most most most mostest crazziesst craziest" of all.

A strong leader with "kolomenta" like Trump especially when Biden decided to unleash out the demons in him without making sure he doesn't return will go to the extreme end. My prayer is that he doesn't turn out to allow himself turn to Hitler. It is possible if he is not careful. I support some of his decisions so far (not all), but they still look so scary.

I wrote about it earlier. He negotiated that Palestinians should leave Gaza for Egypt and Jordan....lol. And then released the bomb Biden blocked from going to Israel because Israel will level everything in Gaza with it. Trump said after all they paid for it. Lol. No be "kolomenta" person go do this? But the truth is that this is the only reason there will be peace. And the only way is that the upper hand person there should take over everything. That's it. You keep saying Palestines are people too..then, the war will go on for life. Is it fair? Nope. But if you want the war to stop, Palestines should quit. Period. If you don't want to take the hard decision, then, just keep shut and close your eyes, and say nothing even though you see kids and women dying anyhow. The better fighter will win las las. Na waste of time trying to put mouth in that Gaza war. A war that has been going on before many were born. Lol.

He has almost stopped Russia and Ukraine war too. I have written about it in one of my posts.

So, the checks he has placed on to carry out for China in Panama and Greenland may be a tough decision, but those are pro-America. Belgium has decided to put some billions of dollars in the Greenland security just because Trump threatened them. A place they neglected. Lol. Still Trump said that is not enough and they are still working on how to tackle it. Lol. If the US is successful in doing what Trump is proposing in Panama and Greenland, just forget it....China is finished. All their "gragra" is over. And the next 100 years, US will be world power.

Hate Trump....but the Democrats too will enjoy from these bold moves.

Just imagine how Canada that I used to think is a powerful nation is reduced to nothing. As big as it is, Trump messed them up telling them to become the 51st state of the US. That one cracked me. Not even saying each province should become a state. The whole nation that is like twice of the US in land area. Lol. Trump "menta" no be small. cheesy But it is good for Americans at this time. Trust me...it is.
PoliticsRe: Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala Speaks On Trump’s Tariff Threats (Video) by epainos:
Actually Trump made sure Ngozi Iweala did not become the World Bank DG during his term time. Then, he lost, and the Democrats asked her to become a full citizen of the US which she did and she was made the World Trade DG. She should be angry with Trump but with what I am seeing, she isn't.

I just love her charisma and her approach. Even Fared respected her. Tit for tat will not pay anyone. Despite knowing Trump is trying to make the US great again, I think he needs to be careful. Like Ngozi said, no matter how Trump injures you, try to not react immediately so the damages can be minimised.

Though I support some of Trump's policies but hmmmm....

It is well.

Correction
Obama actually blocked Ngozi first. I appreciate those who corrected me. Bless you. How time flies.....So 2017 that Obama left the white house feels like just 4 years ago.
Foreign AffairsRe: Trump Plans Tariff On Computer Chips Made In Taiwan by epainos: 4:39pm On Jan 28, 2025
Roboto11:
How is he going to convince businesses in China, Colombia, Canada to patronise American-made goods?
Americans themselves are the first market. How many goods from the US do Colombians and Chinese buy? angry

If US produces goods only for its citizens alone, that is huge. Then, they have partners like the UK and top EU nations.

Real markets are in the US, UK, top EU with high GDPs like Luxembourg, Germany, France, etc. Then, talk of oil rich Saudi, UAE. Also...you may think it is insignificant but Nigeria is of better use to the world market than South Africa and Colombia. Do you know the meaning of over 250million population? Yes, poor, but just 5% of 250million that are really rich. .....they are better market than many nations.
Foreign AffairsRe: Trump Plans Tariff On Computer Chips Made In Taiwan by epainos: 4:14pm On Jan 28, 2025
I was curious myself to try to understand the sense behind the billions of dollars Biden gave out then...and for these companies to still use cheaper labor in China and Taiwan. Trump is telling them to build the damn factories in the US.

Trump has a valid point here. Just imagine the billions of dollars OpenAi has been using which Elon Musk had criticised many times in the past before Trump's intervention as wastage. Only for China to launch a better version last week only with a small fraction of what OpenAi used...better than Google's Gemini and OpenAi. And even offering free services that ChatGPT is charging $200 per month.

Seriously speaking, Trump is making moves to put America back in the leadership position; however, things will not go easy like that. China will fight back. China is already big. Really, time will tell if Trump is doing this at the right time. Yes, he sounds like the right thing for someone who is pro-America, but is it the right time to do them? Are they using the right approaches? Hmmmmm!
Foreign AffairsRe: "I Hate That I Voted For Trump" Latina Woman Breaks Down In Tears by epainos: 12:12pm On Jan 28, 2025
When you hit your enemy, kill him fatally with no hope to return. Biden failed to obey this rule, and he will pay dearly for it. On a normal day, Trump would just yell, but wouldn't go ahead with many of what he is doing during his first term. Biden brought out the madness in him, and here is a man who will do everything unimaginable. He's going to be 82 when he leaves office, and he will surely press for a third term. Even if he doesn't get it because it is highly impossible, his own will win the next election with all means. That's another 8 years. Maybe they will ammend the law for Elon Musk to become the US president. Lol. And he is ready to enter prison after his term if things turn against him. But I don't see this happening.

Everything he is doing so far is pro-America if we have to be honest. Is it fair? Maybe not? If his grandparents too were immigrants, he has no right to speak to immigrants anyhow. And handcuffing illegal immigrants is not ideal. Ha ba! But when illegal immigrants decide to start behaving like they are the real native of the US even when they have not yet gotten residential permit not to talk about becoming US citizens, hmmmmm? cheesy

It is well.
Foreign AffairsRe: US Suspends Tariffs After Colombia Agrees To Deportation Flights by epainos:
carzeem1:
You saying Palestines should leave thier land for Israel?
A nation that just 70 years ago didn't have a home?
The solution is for Israel to stop annexing more land through an unfair war and international politics that has prevented Palestine from become a nation
Kazeem! No dey hide..you no be carkeem....you are Kazeem...Abdulkazeem. So, I gat you. grin

Did you not read the part where I wrote whether it was fair or unfair for Palestinians to leave Gaza? Whether it is fair or unfair is not my point despite the fact that I wrote it is unfair earlier which you did not take into consideration in your response before allowing your emotion to push you and post this comment. My point is the ONLY way peace will reign is for Palestinians to leave Gaza. Na dem sabi. Israel has already the bomb capable of wiping them out of Gaza. Werin be my own? Let them stay na. And you are free to go and fight for them. grin
Foreign AffairsRe: US Suspends Tariffs After Colombia Agrees To Deportation Flights by epainos:
Lol

We call the US a world power for a reason. Someone has decided to use the US power, and we can see nations bowing in just seconds. First it was Mexico, and now Columbia. Even Canada is afraid. grin I used to think Canada is a powerful nation, but I started seeing traces of its weakness even before this time. Even Elon Musk japa from Canada to the US because he knows the US is where the real game is.

Just wait and see how Greenland and Panama will agree to almost everything Trump proposes in order to avoid conflicts. That of Panama is almost certain...... the US will most likely establish a naval camp at the Panama Canal to begin inspecting ships arriving from China. This is the game. And will most likely achieve the same in Greenland to begin regulating Chinese ships that enter Europe. The idea is to block the majority of Chinese ships and prevent them from expanding economically. US under Trump wants to break China.

Of course, the US has already broken Russia by demonstrating that it is willing to crash the price of oil. Does Russia have any other option but to agree with Ukraine? Ukraine is already weak because there is no more fund from the US.

And what do you think? The US has already approved sending the bomb Israel purchased, which Biden refused to let go because he believes Israel will use it to destroy everything in Gaza. Trump released it. Lol. You think Trump is a mad man? Nope. Before releasing the bomb, he proposed alternatives for Palestine. Run now to Egypt and Jordan. grin. You decide to stay, na your death. Why? Israel and Palestines are two nations that will keep fighting. Israel will never let Gaza go. Not possible. That Gaza is a must for Israel to take over. Is it unfair to Palestine? Yes, I think so. However, without this, there will never be peace in the region. The only way to achieve this is that Palestinians leave Gaza permanently. No matter what you say, this is the way. Will any agreement achieve this? No way. Na to talk and talk. They will settle now, and they will continue. It is an everlasting war. So the best way is to evacuate them from Gaza. Whether you agree with me or not, that's your business. But on this....Trump has my support.

The way Trump has stopped Russia vs Ukraine and Gaza wars is clear now. I kept wondering how this man will solve both. Now, I get it. Do you also get it.

If you like, mess with the US. When a "kolo-menta" president like Trump gets there, you go hear am. grin

No dey deceive una selves, after the US, na the UK. Period. I don't want to hear anything from anyone.
PoliticsRe: I’m A Christian But I Don’t Joke With Ifa — Olusegun Obasanjo by epainos:
Lol

Nigeria's fundamental problem is the existence of powers and principalities. And that is why I support the idea of separation in order to reduce the influence on the entire land. At the same time, I believe it may be counter-productive.

Yoruba is deeply rooted in Ifa. Ifa is about knowledge, unlike Sango, Ogun, and others mentioned earlier in this thread. The Ifa corpus is mathematically based and can be compared to artificial intelligence. We know what data science and AI. AI is deep knowledge. Similar to star readers, these experts use mathematics to calculate and predict deep things. Mathematics is the cornerstone of the world. Engineering math is so abstract that humans used very little of it, which is why abstract math, vector analysis, and higher statistics were underutilized back then. When coding was combined with statistics, mathematics, and logic, abstract maths came to life. Robots are being developed, and space exploration has progressed.Elon Musk expressed concern about what AI will do to the world after witnessing its depth.

So imagine having superhuman knowledge without joining occult organizations.

Jews have a similar knowledge to ifa called Urim and Thummim. Check out the Old Testament to see what they were used for. When you understand how to use Urim and Thummim, you understand Ifa as well. So, Sango worshippers, Ogun worshippers, Oya worshippers, Benin god worshippers, and all Yoruba deities consult Ifa. The ifa priest is called Babalawo. As a result, the Babalawos' leader is a senior man with extensive knowledge of the occult. Everyone consults them.

According to the information I have, Presidents Obasanjo and Tinubu are both babalawo coded. Both have done extensive research on the Ifa corpus, which is why they are such powerful political figures.

Listen, while almost all deities were destroyed in Yoruba land, the ifa corpus was kept hidden because it is knowledge shared without being written down. I believe that much of the discovered knowledge could have been lost, but because the foundation cannot be erased from memory, it was rediscovered. And many yoruba studies professors have dug deep again, discovering new things. Just wait to see what AI will do to Ifa, Urim, and Thummim.

I have been writing about Igbo and Yoruba lately, but some people may interpret it as hatred after reading just one post. At times, it may look like I support Igboa in at times Yoruba. You will understand me better if you continue reading. Now listen....Nnamdi Kanu got the idea of Igbo Jews from his elders. Why? Igbo always compete with Yoruba, and vice versa. They know about Ifa Corpus, and so, you can add one plus one. The best way is for them to embrace Urim and Thummim. While I am not sure if Igbos are Jewish, the evidence is there. And if not, there must be a connection. These are deep issues. Even Isreal is connected to Yoruba one way or the other. And I know for sure that it is how Ifa was established in the Yoruba land. I will explain it very soon. Thes things are deep.

Why do you think Israel and the US always link with Nigeria. Many reasons...this is one. And take note, they always pay more attention when there is a Yoruba Nigerian president. E get reason. cheesy I believe they will pay more attention if an Igbo president emerges, but I am convinced that will never happen.

Knowledge is deep. Hmmm. However, based on my own life and experiences, I am currently with Jesus and will be forever. I am a man of experience and I understand life. I have been through it all: failure, success, trials, victories, wealth, poverty, abundance, want, and so on. I prayed deeply, and a time, I was about going into Ifa.....but when I saw what has been attached to it, I took off. grin Do not go there unless you are willing to sell your soul to the owner of Ifa Corpus. Of course same way I have sold my soul to Jesus. I will discuss Islam and Quran someday too. Very deep stuff.

Thank God! Thank you, Jesus...we can now pursue deep knowledge without selling our souls to the occult world. Yes, I believe in the Holy Spirit; however, if you still want to use math to make accurate predictions, get involved with artificial intelligence. It contains a powerful type of knowledge. Most people seek world knowledge, which is why they join cults. Just leave everything and go learn math and coding...you have got it.

So...you do not need another bloody Ifa where AI is. I'm telling you the truth. Leave Ifa and concentrate on AI. Ifa has too many hidden secrets, AI is public knowledge for everyone. This is why I have chosen AI. Very hard, but very useful.

Goodluck to everyone.

bjdon:
Chi do you even know how to read? Go back and read what I wrote, slowly grin
Many of you think you are smart after they have rubbished your useless comments. Definitely, any deep thinking person who analysis most of your posts and mine will see who is the illiterate. Lol. But you don jam person wey pass you since you first made comment on my post first. I hardly bothered myself about people's comment. But when you carry your empty brain come talk for my post and I slam you, and you still return to clean your mess by using useless "style style" like this, then, I will finish you finally.

This is your old comment again:
bjdon:
So na SS and SW dey finance this country!! If only the Yorubas were not so trbalistic, I would advocate a SE SS merger. That would be a very powerful and rich nation.
I have bolded the part I addressed in your comment. Man, maybe na Spanish or Swahili you wrote. Lol.

1. If one the Yoruba were not so tribalistic:
And I replied you. Not only Yoruba is, but both Yoruba and Ibo. Your statement is an "if conditional statement". Bro...the only way this will change is if you don't know how to use an if statement, or you don't understand it. Bro...no be pigin you wrote there..na English. Lol. So, in your mind if you meant something else, and you still come out to say if I don't know how to read....you are a joke. And the joke is on you. Person wey no sabi English...e no better u use pigin? Olodo. You even used second degree. I won't say much.

2. I would advocate a SS SE merger:
Despite you wrote in second degree, the intention is still your advocating for SS and SE. And I replied you again that it is not even impossible in your imaginary state of mind. My reasons were given in the lost too.

3. Your last statement: That would be a powerful rich nation:
Thank God it is in your imaginary mind, but that your imaginary mind isn't possible at all. Lol.

While I agree with you that your imaginary mind is indeed not possible, so addressed your post to solidify the very high possibility that it cannot be a reality. Never. It won't.

The above is exactly what transpired between us. So, if you meant something else, na your wahala. So, I admonish you to use pigin to express yourself better. Mr. Man...I addressed your imaginary mind perfectly.

Number: No matter what you wrote, you were so clear Yoruba are tribalistic...and I replied you exactly what you deserved. I did not start defending Yoruba, but stated the fact. You must be an Igbo man. Na so una dey be like chameleon...exactly what I wrote. Dey play...the joke is on you. And Yoruba dey flog you back to back. No be lie na. Una think say una wise. Leave story....both Yoruba and Igbo are tribalistic. And we know what happened. If you don't know....of course I have written about it several time..go and pick FFK article. He write exactly how the Igbos killed themselves. Who doesn't know that SS and SE used to be a powerful nation. Your imaginary mind is just what happened in the past. Is that imaginary? Olodo. SS was under SE before. And SS were like slaves. Stop pretending. Yoruba and IBB removed SS from SE. While SE felt they were at advantage of getting more revenue from Nigeria because they have more states, they didn't understand that the process was to give SS freedom and weakened Igbos. By the time igbos realise the mission, it was too late. Let Igbo say rubbish now...SS will blast them. That your imaginary merger was what we had before and immediately after independence. That was what Nnamdi Azikiwe of Igbo used to flog Obafemi Awolowo of Yoruba many times. Awo knew he had to break the region into pieces before he could achieve anything. He couldn't do it during his time, but while luck faces Igbo, they also asked for more states from IBB during the military regime. People vexed that they are not that many there na...why more states. See...dem never still even understand because the foolish people among the igbos till date are requesting for creation of another state again. grin Foolish people. Some of them still don't recognise the poison that killed them. grin


Stop making the Yoruba the demon. Igbos are demons themselves, and Yoruba just happened to be able to defeat them. And the northern empire are lucky to have Yoruba to always tackle Igbo. We know it. Let's not tell each other lies. Yoruba and Igbo cannot have the same political goals. Not possible. Igbo has proven to want to not partner with Yoruba a long time ago, and Yoruba has accepted. No be today dem be political enemies.

But when it comes to families, sexual relationships, friendship.....leave them ooo. Yoruba and Igbo no send. They will go to the eternity to enjoy themselves. Yoruba man with an Igbo wife will still tackle Igbos' political agenda. Of course, the woman will always protest, but the two of them will still not allow it affect their marriage. Vice versa, igbo man or woman will do same. Na so e be. Na so dem dey roll.

Yoruba has the upper hand because they have formed good relationship with the north and SS. Whose fault is it that Igbos are marginalised? No be Igbo at war with others? So, there is no way Igbo can ever prosper in this Nigeria. Never. Na the truth I am telling you. They will NEVER become the president of Nigeria. So, I always post it that Igbo needs to leave Nigeria if they want to produce a president because there will only be an Igbo president of an Igbo nation.

If anyone calls it tribalistic, fine. But it is the truth. Someone like me (i dont mean myself exactly here but someone with my thought and stand on this issue) who posted this truth can still have a beautiful relationship with an Igbo. This is how we roll in Nigeria.

Good luck to you and your useless English. Whether you share my opinion or not....whether you felt your comment supported my initial comment or not....English maybe your challenge. So, take your own advice....read and read this again. Go and learn all "if conditinal statements" also so ypu don't write what is not your thought again. Many of you write against your ideas due to poor grammar usage.

If you like return and point out all my grammatical errors after given it to an expert because I am not checking or editing any shit. As a dey vex for you is how i dumped it here. Whether na typos or not ooo....Take the truth like that. Lol. I don't have your time again.
Take care!

I will give your suggestion a greater consideration and i hope to update with whatever progress i make.

God bless!
Do you think many of us don't want to outsource also so we can do other things? Don't worry....you will understand later. My lips are sealed henceforth. If you cannot produce your suckers that you can put right under your nose, I wonder how you can manage a farm. You wan outsource it also. grin

Oga, if you cannot monitor any agricultural small scale farm from the beginning to the end, and be present everytime, just forget it. Failure will definitely occur. Only a lage farm with real structure where you have staff in different departments and you pay each head of department N500k to around N3million as monthly salary is when you can stay away from the farm. But a small farm like what you want to do...you have failed before starting.

The truth is bitter.

Irony1:
But Asari has said no alignment with Yorubas, so how can SS align with SW. Again where is the evidence that SE bullied them? Make una take am easy to dey lie.
Is Asari the leader of South-South? grin Common sense is not far na. And you asked where SE bullied SS? Lol. I will tell you. Lol. During Ojukwu's time...did you ever hear about SS? Tell me anyone from SS who became the leader of the old eastern region. No be only Igbo dey rule? Osu issue is there. Any Osu is an outcast. Lol. Ikwere men like Wike blasted Ndigbo last week not to bring their nonsense to his side. He said he is not an Igbo man. Igbo people started saying, they are Igbos. Lol. But una no think deep, how come SS has started telling Igbos off? Yet Igbo still want them. Make Igno allow SS be the oga na. Will that be possible? Igbo wants to continue where Nigeria stopped with the SS oil. Lol. But the truth will always be the truth... If you like embrace it, if you keep deceiving yourselves. Since 1999 when we embraced democracy again, the only two regions who have a strong partnership in the south are SS and SW. The evidence is there na. Igbos want to go...but they want to drag SS along. And SS keep teling them, they are no longer under Igbo. grin They keep saying it that...Igbo...we no want you. While Yoruba too dey always tell Igbo that they can do without them politically. Lol.

Was it not the Yoruba and SS partnership with the North that brought Tinubu to power? Igbo was not part of it. Igbo is a nation on its own. They haven't been part of Nigeria for many years. Nigeria ef should let them go in my opinion. Make dem go stand alone and see how dem go survive. Lol. We no see the income dem dey generate. People wey no contribute much to the income of the nation dey fumble say na dem build Lagos and PH. grin

Keep telling yourselves lies. It is a strong fact that Yoruba and Igbo are enemies. Yoruba no fear Igbo again because they have successfuly removed SS from them. Lol. And Babangida Yoruba and the North used to accomplish that mission. grin

But Igbo still want to claim SS. OK ooo. Igbo can try their luck, but na disgrace dem go meet. SS will rather partner with Yoruba rather than with Igbo because they know Igbo are too demanding and they will start again. Who no sabi Igbo to always bully people. grin Even Yoruba know them. Na Hausa and Fulani no dey try wndure their bully "at all at all". Lol. Dem even dey Yoruba side in Lagos dey say na dem build Lagos. grin Yoruba fit say that for dem land? But Yoruba sabi deal with them. Ibo go make mouth...but when action time reach, Yoruba always force alliance with others that always breaks Igbo everytime. Even Hausa and Fulani sabi too say if dem wan deal with Igbo, na Yoruba be the right region to talk to. grin Yoruba people don show dem shege. grin

My comment na the truth and not tribalistic. Very funny, but it's the truth. I know say my comment dey pepper Igbos, but na the truth na. grin

Nigeria cannot be united. We know it. Let's not deceive ourselves. E go better make we separate resources and financial matters if we want to stay together as Nigerians. Otherwise, let them all form their nations. To me, Igbo will do better as a nation on their own because they will be forced to make alliances with others.

Igbo wey go dey beat chest dey talk say na dem own everyone wan kon dey form victims on social media. Lol. Na so Yoruba don break you? grin

Thank you chief

Please don't be weary in letting your advice if possible, I'm not under the influence of any consultant

1. I'll do well to make continuous research. The person you mentioned only made a comment here just like you, I don't know him personally. (Seems you guys have issue, well, please settle it amicably smiley)

2. Now I get your submission about the year of current lease just as DrDoc buttressed. As I mentioned before this reply, the plan is to purchase the land outrightly, although it's not in the current agreement. So I'll work on extending the lease period.

3. Well, for the pig, there is not going back in the stage I am currently. They are two different operations, in different locations, with different advisors I've been engaging.

Thanks for the input, really appreciate
You are a wise man to quickly see my point. Bros, don't vex ooo. My first comment here sounded like I attacked you, but it was psychological. See, if you are a consultant who wants to use this thread to deceive people, you will attack me. But since you are genuinely someone who wants to make your farm work, you did not mind my initial comment. And that's me. But you see...many people who put up threads like this use them as baits. Lol.

As regard the guy, I don't even know he exists. That's the truth. Wetin be mine? Someone I don't know about his existence is who I will have issues with. Lol. My concern is the majority here.

Concerning the land. You know Naijas very well cos you are a naija too. You know how land issue is. Tell me, if the people you lease land from are not with "Godly" heart, won't they be tempted to find a way to send you away after 3 years? The owner don make small change na. Na land we lease you....oga, and e don expire...we wan use the land...Come carry your pineapples. Na so, you go panic too...OK. Give us twice the amount of lease...give us part of the pineapple. Next year, the same thing happens. Go and ask farmers who leased land for banana and plantain production in those days. Lol. Bro....abort the plan. Buy the land first, secure it very well before you set up crops with longer years life span on it.

If there is a stream close to the place or can you drill a borehole? If yes, consider converting the project to papaya. Research first.

Do not ever go ahead with pineapple...you will regret it. After 2 years that the walaha will likely start, it will disturb you from doing other things. You will lose focus. Better avoid the wahala now. Papaya has a shorter life span.

You may consider goats if you change your plan. Again, the chances that you will have a smooth land purchase after planting pineapple there is very slim.

Make sure that you pay for three years lease, so that if there is any delay in the production cycle that sees the frutiting enter into the third year, the land owners wont want to take advantage of the situation. You are on track. You will learn as you continue on your journey.

Good day chief

2 years lease... Too much or not enough?

What challenges do you envisage?

Thanks
Hmmmm. I will give you clue...go and make further research. If I start telling you many things here, your consultants are reading. They will use another method to injure you. But for the sake of readers, I will drop two hints.

1. Stay away from people who jump to advise you especially that dr.doc. Please, stay away. I won't say much about it. If he is your consultant, use wisdom to handle him. I won't say much. Check everything everyone tells you well. Do not just listen to me too. Check what I have posted here.

2. Pineapple is a perennial crop that can give you back to back income for around 7 years or more if you take care of it well. So, do you think 2 or 3 years lease is a wise decision? And can anyone allow you have a longer lease? Use this information to see if its a wise decision to lease a land for pineapple production. Since there are not so many pineapple farmers around...go and consult banana and plantain farmers. Ask them...do they lease land and how long if they do? If they say yes, ask them the procedure. Also ask the pros and cons. Consultants always tell lies about its lifespan. Lol. Don't listen to that quack adviser.

Guy, real farmers are already smiling. They won't say much. cheesy I have finished my job here. With the questions I have giving you to ask around, you will understand everything very well. Even without asking anyone, anyone can use his/her common sense to quickly get my point.


Let me give you jara.

3. Do not start even that pig farm until you have answers to the questions. You will be shocked what you will unravel.


Goodluck!

ollyboy009:
Also, have you ever come across a plantain variety that fruits 2 bunches on the same tree? I am looking for the sucker of such plantain like a lost wife. I will appreciate a direction to where i can get them to buy.

My elder brother has this variety in his compound, maybe about 20 stands or so. The beauty of it is that, each bunch usually have about 50 to 55 big fingers, i have talked to them at IITA but they don't seem to know the variety.

If i see someone who can mass produce the suckers from the ones my bro has, i won't mind paying the person.
Oga, sit down and learn how to multiply the ones your brother have. You gat everything you need. Your brother's suckers are enough to fill 100 hectares in a short period of time. And it is extremely cheap to produce. Do this thing yourself.

Here is the truth: if you cannot produce these suckers yourself since you have plants you can use, you cannot make a plantain or banana business prosperous. If you can learn it and master it, the sky is just the beginning for you.

So, I encourage you that you should learn it by yourself. You can do it.

The only issue is that you should not become a suckers-seller and lose sight of your main project, which is banana/plantain production. The moment you start selling suckers, you are gone. Sure, contracts can come which is OK....like someone sees your farm and insists you sell him suckers. That's fine. But you start making ads, start soliciting around...you have lost it. And this is how everyone I taught mass reproduction turned to, except a guy and a wealthy woman. This woman is so wealthy that ...let's leave story. She had been wealthy before she learned it, and the knowledge has helped her to maintain her farm. Till date, she sends me free plantains, pineapple, banana, etc. Infact, what I have eaten are more than the amount I could have collected from her...but then, I have given her much more. She is just a woman with a thankful heart who knows how to make more wealth. When I give out these fruits because my family alone cannot finish them, people think I have a pineapple/banana/plantain farm....but they aren't my focus. Lol.

I want many people to be succesful.... You will do well when you learn skills instead of using useless consultants here.

But don't get me wrong, there are still good consultants here. I have seen some guys doing wonderful things. If you want to know good consultants, the fellows will not rush to your farm. Why? They are always very busy. You may have to push before you get hold of them. And if you don't contact them again, they don't care. cheesy

From my tone, do I sound like someone who gives a damn? Someone asked me...why do I give free information? The information I give people, many repackage them into what they sell today. I don't care because such people always fail. Some even copy my content around the Internet and sell. Lol. The moment you decide to copy what is free and repackage them to sell....na curses you dey put on your head. The person will always be below of the person he copied. That's the truth. It is a spiritual law.

Finally, the very message before this one looks good. I don't always say go to this person or that person. Not sure if the person knows about mass production of suckers but what I know is that he has the heart of a farmer. Do you know the meaning of having the heart of a farmer? Lol. See, if you can approach him to teach you (if he can do it), he may not even collect a dime from you if he has the time. Well...not sure....but even if he asks for a small change, give him. If he doesn't ask, you better be like 0.1% of that wealthy woman to him because, you will get more. 0.1% of the woman is huge ooo. The woman sef dey gain seriously till date. One day, I just met landed on her farm unannounced and I flew a drone round her farm in the presence of her workers. Made recommendations and "piam", she don order everything cos na me still taught her importation from US and China. Lol. Sharply, she did everything when she heard I came to her place. She laughed that day eh...that she will always have it at the back of her mind that good things will come from me anytime. Lol.

Bros...take this thing serious. Go and learn it. Don't rush it. And don't use the skill to become a consultant. You will thank God for this message in 2 years from today.

Blessing.

Interesting

I feel Trump is trying to make a point here, but I may be wrong. If Biden can pardon his son, he will keep pardoning anybody to provoke everyone. So, he wants to bring up a debate on the issue. This is what he is likely doing. People will start talking very soon, and he will say that if they want him reverse his pardons, Biden's son must be prosecuted too. So, he will ask them to review the law and invalidate Hunter's pardon. This is exactly what I feel he is doing.

But is it really necessary?

You need to understand how banking gimmicks work. They so that to gain investors trust. First thing you need to understand is why bank are paying very low? And downsizing work force? Presently they only taking HND? Closing of branches and mergers.

Besides bank is not making money trom those branches. Most of the branches are just for poor customers compliant. The real players don’t even go to the bank.
Why will an industry that is almost taking over by AI keep employing labor force? Airports and seaports will soon send off most of their personnels too. Wale Edun is a slow old man on my opinion, and he isn't able to match up with the interior minister. Almost all those immigration officers will be sacked soon because AI is taking over soon. The way those immigratin workers are cursing the minister is just funny. But the real truth is that they will be replaced very soon with robots. Thats the truth, they are all mostly illiterates and they dont still get it. It has to change because Nigeria is almost late. Go to the US and China and see how robots have taken over operations there.

You can't say rubbish here. I'm into finance...if we check well, you don't have my qualifications and experience. You are just defending ilegal businesses that you are making money from. But can't you see that it is almost over? No one should even tell you....it is almost over.

In this 2025, you expect banks to still employ like the do before? What exactly are the people going to do exactly?

Politicians are already employing IT guys to navigate how to continue stealing. But they might not be successful because the block chain tech itself is not easy to manipulate. And if the president of the US can push out his coin meme a day before he came on board again, digital currency is here to stay. Putin has embraced it too. Why? You can't easily manipulate it. So, politicians will soon start stealing with sense cos it is not going to be easy again.

Can't you see how Tinubu is rushing on setting up instrastructure here and there? He just has to do it because he is doomed if he doesn't. Why? History will be brutal with him. Buhari is already has a disgusting history because he is a failure for life. Tinubu knows what is on ground and he just has to deliver. And he knows that with the new game on ground, he will capture everywhere. You don't get the meaning of data analysis and AI. A beg...just get the crap off. Your days are numbered.

Oga, las las cashless policy is what will still take over. Cashless policy is the best, but "Emewerey" did not provide the necessary infrastructure and management for it to work well because he only wanted to pull out of circulation currencies so that politicians will be stranded, and they will see him like a god.

Don't bring this nonsense to my table. I have bolded that evil gimmicks above. You all are evil. Before Nigeria can really be good again, people like you need to vacate your positions because nothing good but only evil can come out of you. Just imagine what this nonsense person is defending and saying it with boldness. You that should be cooling off in kirikiri.

The thing is that you will see that very soon, many of you will commit suicide because you cannot function in a normal society again. When truthfulness returns to Nigeria, many of you will commit suicide. You better leave those gimmicks and find honest work to do and earn good money.

You will soon be shocked. I repeat...your days are numbered. You are all FIRED!!!

IT and communications sector is delicate and need funding; however, it should be critically reviewed very well what this minister is asking for. This is an area that can flourish without the help of govt because investors are out there. I think we need a real entrepreneur in this area and not a communication expert. To me, Bosun should function as an adviser and not a minister with what I have seen so far. He seems he doesn't have the capacity to bring in income from outside Nigeria. Interior Minister is the one who should be complaining and not communications. Haba! And the interior minister is even navigating hurdles on his path with the budget allocated to it.

Some bank couldn't even power their AC in for capacity. Even inverter battery and panel went above the rooftop.

When POS became rampant banks sees a relief to bring down all ATM after they close. And besides no money during the day self. Because the money keeps recycling without reaching the bank physically.
The moment it becomes practically impossible for banks to power their ACs, then they are finished. Na same Nigeria we dey. Stop being ridiculous. The same Nigeria where banks make crazy profit on sms services alone. The same Nigeria where banks don't give interests on savings accounts again, but even tax them more.

UPDATE: CROP

1 acre acquired on lease for 2 years
Projecting 5000 suckers of pineapple to be combined with cassava and maize

Hoping to use proceeds from maize to offset Cost of Production (COP) for pineapple and cassava.

Land clearing ongoing. I'm going to send pictures later on.

Seedlings ordered.

We're getting set.
I think you should stay with software oooo. 2 years leased for pineapple. Na waooo. Who dey advise you people? Damn! Cassava, pineapple and corn. Lol. That guy wey wan cash out has already cashed out selling his suckers. Anyway, I hope you are making dollars with your software stuff...cos it is very sure you will face serious challenges.

I'm just for waiting, and it is very sure that you will stop updating or start lamenting as soon as success is close by. They will make you invest very well and the time you start harvesting pineapple, you will understand. Happy spending.
