America prosperity is the greatest lie ever told. The United States of America is a glorified shithole country

Your hatred for America hasn't stopped. Na WA o


A nation needs more medical professional because they want to deal with a crisis and suddenly they become a shot hole country because of their need/crisis


Russia sent professionals to help with Italy last week I'm sure this makes Italy a glorified shot hole country too

Russian sailors were stuck in a broken submarine last year and USA offered help but Russian declined, because Russia was in need they are also a shot hole country



Australia had issues with bush fires so much that Americans had to go and support them by sending professionals I'm sure this makes them a shot hole country



Dude go fix your broken life. Your existence is inconsequential and unknown to these people. Dufos

Core i3 12G RAM 1T HDD Vs Core i5 8G RAM 1T HDD, which is better for computer aided design (CAD).
Thanks.

Core i5 will naturally process better than core i3 of the same configuration even slightly higher config

Going into agriculture for the money is the easiest decision you can make. Sustaining the enterprise and making the agricultural enterprise self - sustaining while not introducing or injecting new funds into the venture is key in determining viability.

Look at it in this context, as a cassava farmer with about 10hectare cassava farm. You must wait minimum of 10months before you can make some profit in reality. Every of your labour and inputs are purchased and paid for at the prevailing market rate that suits the sellers. At harvest, you as the owner cannot determine the price you wish to sell your cassava..putting in perspective your input cost. You will be surprised at the buying prices. If you had taken care of the cassava very well, no matter how much it is sold, you will make some money on your expenditure. That entire revenue is what others will term the big money forgetting that you had incured some costs before then.

Have you heard of off - takers who reneged on their promise to buy from you? You can make money big time but not always. Keep that in mind.

Fear based information. Anyone going into farming should not be dictated as to what they can achieve. Even a goat knows cassava plantain banana will take ten months.

This is true. That's only on the surface though, when possession has not become deep.

I met a pastor thatbderailed and suffers all of these symptoms. It has completely stolen his soul in his quest for fame and power

The type that'll tell you to design a logo with a gentle and harmless lion that has it's mouth wide open as if it was angry then the harmless lion will then have blood stains while standing on the lamb it just devoured.

You've experienced them too. Nice one. Guys are discerning them perfectly. I run from many upon interacting with them it's easy to know it won't go down well regardless of output

Publicizing:
Aswear... The kind of customers that'll give you headaches.

I've learnt to discern and run o. I've seen so so any of them

True to the last point. It takes away sleep sufferers suffer consistent hallucinations, loss of appetite and instant fear of the unknown and seeing all sort that keeps them perpetually in fear

wjxp:
Post some here for me to see, then delete them. Or are you on Fiverr?

I'm hesitant because the results people have produced for me have been mediocre and the last graphic designer was the worst yet he kept he kept refusing to accept the order's cancellation. I felt like I was dealing with a 6th grade bully all over again. Thank God for Fiverr's customer support for stepping in. After all that I don't have the energy for Fiverr anymore and have found another means to get it done.

You can still show me what you can do, though. Who knows? I've something else I'm working on and could patronise you.

This skepticism is high. This I'll pass

Driggs:
This WhatsApp conversation is ridiculous..

I dunno what kind of advice to give my friend who sent this to me.

How will someone borrow you money after begging and crying to return it the next day and you have the audacity to use it to do another business?

Like that isn't enough, he's being lieing about sending it for over 3 days now (4 days after the agreed time oo) and he still has the boldness to update his WhatsApp status with motivational quotes.

Chaii.. Nigerians are low-key wicked.

I used to do it too and I thought I was smart but once I started losing good friends, it made me stop.

Moral of this post: Your friends are going through a lot probably lot more worse than you are. If they decide to help you out with a fast loan, do well to pay back before/on the agreed date.

They won't embarrass you because y'all are friends but you will never be trusted again.

I picked it. Started losing good friends

wjxp:
I'm hesitant to make another order with anyone on there again, mcheeww. Where can I see actual samples of your work first?

WhatsApp. I have tons to share with you. Note. I didn't ask pay before work so why should you be hesitant?

saliubello:
Remember the each to his own part? Calm down. I just wish I could communicate the message better. Nonetheless, my aim isn't to spread fear and panic. Your opinion noted. Let's review this discussion again after the 100acres project. I'm not talking with you based on theory and textbook. I'm writing based on my field experiences. A few of my exploits I have documented online here. No. I'm not rewriting tales by noon light. Infact I like it as you have disagreed with me but I'm a bit vexed because you are not patiently reading my words.. read till the end before taking me up.

Guy..you done derail the thread oo

Lol@practical. I relocated from Lekki to a rural area. As I'm speaking to you I own my own 100 acres project. Though it's tough. One has to come into agriculture with though mind.30 acres corn 70 acres another crop. Bros. If it's practical I virtually stay with crude villagers and have relocated here permanently



So I'm also a doer. The culture of trying to denigrade ventures or mix fear and excessive caution has to stop


I'm not using people's money o before they I'll come again. God is doing the work Himself

wjxp:
I've ordered from three graphic designers on Fiverr with good reviews but none of them have been able to deliver proper results.

Are people buying reviews on Fiverr or posting fake reviews or why are people with good reviews producing poor work?

Can you let me handle those graphic design projects.? I will love to prove to you that tgere are still exceptional graphic designers

God bless you. It takes a lot to give even when one doesn't have surplus.

saliubello:
How then can I choose right? What value are you bringing on board? What are you coming to do differently? What new skills are you bringing to the table?

I have taken this posture knowing fully well that their exists alot of poverty, fraud, ill feeling and wickedness in the land..No one cares for the other. Rather, they are out to reap you off your hard earned cash. Or just turn you to a cash cow from the start.

If you chose whichever of the niches very carefully, putting in mind the afore-mentioned. value addition, employment generation, wealth preservation or giving back to the land, you will surprisingly wriggle out successfully. Irrespective of the motives of the populace you will work with..

Can you imagine calling in some labour to work for your on your farm. You have bargained and paid the agreed sum. You have paid for food and their transportation just to motivate them to do the work adequately..But they just come and bury the weed for you rather than removing them. Of course, the weed will spring up the very next day the sun is up. What do you call that? What warrants that such horrible thing be done?

You have employed some staff on your poultry. You pay their salaries promptly and pronto they are the ones stealing and selling your eggs. What category will you put that??




The real discuss is coming oo..[/size]

If you will communicate other than people are out to scam cheat dupe and all these negatives like people are out to weed farm bury weeds etc. Please stop spreading fear. There are mechanical weeders, tractors, ploughs.large scale farming activities should work with mechanical devices and a supervisor overseeing works done before disbursing payments.


I respect every source of fluctuations and instabilities should be studied and fixed. Please try informing the public without diluting good information with fear please

saliubello:
Lets me illustrate the above scenario more explicitly..

1. Since the close of the Nigerian borders, Fruits farmers like pineapples have been smiling to the bank..this is largely because the Cotonou supplies has been cut off the Lagos Markets and so their product command fairly good prices and are sold promptly too.

2. Since the ban on the importation of rice, local rice farmers have been smiling brightly.

3. Despite the border closure, the prices of cassava and its derivatives has been relatively low compared to previous years.

4. Despite the close of border, the maize farmers have not felt any significant price appreciations, as importation via the ports is allowed. though you cannot export from Nigeria.


So If we are to juxtapose it or say revert back to the status quo of open borders, what will you think will happen to the farmers growing this crops. i can tell you for free that they will lose what they made during this season.


2 years ago, cashew nut sold for over N500,000 a tonne. Last year and this year, the price is ranging between N200,000 and N240,000. If you therefore, had taken a loan and opened a cashew farm focusing on the N500k a tonne and you are confronted with N200k a tonne. What will you call that?

Same 2 years ago, the prices of cassava was really high..very high. Can we say the price remain same?


As stated in the opening statements, if you are here for wealth preservation devoid of inflation and inflationary trends. Then you are good and your smiles will know no bound.

Oga Aaliyah wea all know this. Please stop miseducating the public spreading fear and paranoid. No reasonable established institution should use loan as a regulatory servicing tool for business. Furthermore, no reasonable enterprise setsbits peak price as regular price. You're misguiding people please.

saliubello:
Dear Friend. Im glad about the nice words you used in describing me. Thanks. I will always uphold that ideals that you have known me for. However, if you give me the permission to expose you to the insights I am digging up. Only at the end of the expose can you make an informed decision and take a decisive stand either to agree or disagree with me.


Making money in agriculture follows certain dynamics which I believe you might have known but have not cautiously paid attention to. Basic economic teaches us about demand and supply, that when the demand is high and the supply is low, the price shoots up High..Right? When the supply is more than the demand, the price will actively be very Low, Provided all other things remain same or all things being equal.

This is the new angle that I am bringing to the discussion. All these other parameters that must remain the same. They have the following attributes:


1. Out of the control of the farmer.
2. Affected by socio-political decisions of government, politics and relationships.
3. Affected by Natural phenomenons and disasters.
4. GMP observed by the farmer.

Therefore, I make bold to tell you that you will only make money, - the money - provided some of these factors are held down which you do not have control over.

Where there are no external funds entering and revolving/mixing in your agriculture business balance sheets, you will only make the big money, only but once in a blue moon. How you now utilise these funds in your expansion drive and subsequent experiences will determine where you will be, going forward in this business.

I know you more than you think. You're one of the only names I can take serious on the entire forum. But you're postured to lean too much towards the negative hence I will disagree and quarrel with you about your stance as its not healthy and even you don't know it. What do I mean, every business has a risk/instability factor, issues like market pricing factors, demand and supply, competition, alternatives and so on a few which you also quoted but even in economics, there's a deeper dimension that understudies the lacking factor in systems and makes it available so uncertainties and risks can be reduced and limited which ultimately results in predictable and consistent results which nullifies your theory of only expect much once in a blue moon.


I'm setting up a 100 acres project and am also well informed about the internal dyanisms and operational dynamics of the sector both practically and from theoretical perspective. To me facts must be presented without fear or basis as emotional contaminants terminates the quality of information. Simple. Remove fear and panic, preach the message

jethro2:
We should learn to ask question and not ask people not to say what they feel.

Speaking out will be saving a lot of people from getting into the same situation without knowing what's ahead

Not all that glitters is good

It's good to listen

Here you go with the typical Nairalabder assumption of failure/fraud and disappointments. I've said it Most Nairalanders have a damaged psyche caused by the way people think and interact on the forum with the assumptions and presumptions of failure and disappointments before starting


BTW I'm not marketing anything o


You guys on the forum are the most pessimistic human beings I've ever seen. Jesus


Thankfully before you say more. When I was searching out for my own niche. I worked under some shrimp industries and saw things first hand


I know how a poultry with 60,000 birds function cause I've worked in one before


I know how commodity supplies work cause I've worked for someone in the industry before, from palm oil to food supplies.


I hawked ugwu to complete my secondary school education and I've prepared a plan to go into 20 acres ugwu production. God help me I make side funds for the project.



Am I a millionaire, No. I don't know if I have more than 40k in my account now. But I have learnt how to see issues for myself without seeing it through our people's prejudice and pessmisim they try to project on me. Conclusively, I choose to be optimistic. Life is about finding the missing piece of the puzzle and putting it in place not whining or complaining.



There are lands to lease depending on financial power. A start can try 10,000nqira per acre, a medium level income person can try five acres that's 50,000 naira and try their hands from cassava to maize to vegetables. It's not rocket science. Enough of all these fear laden information that has proliferate the web. People learn from failure. If they start and they fail they get up.




The fear of failure is paralysis. I rather dare than not try

Oga Saliu please stop it abeg. Just stop it. I'm not finding it funny.


If not that you're one strong person I respect here I would have looked your face.


Haba. I've known you for years and have followed your development.


And I can beat my cheat to say anyone that wants to learn should follow you. And you're a real practitioner.


But stop trying to paint it like agriculture is negative or big bucks can not be made from it and people with expectations will be dissapointed.


People can make millions from Agriculture and can make it big, but while looking at figures they need to follow through with action plan. Simple
