Pastor Olu T: This is the problem with all we want definition for everything, and anything that dont fit or fit into the concept our little mind created is taken or discarded as the case maybe.

Do not be deceived God cant be mocked, for whatever a man sows that he shall reap. If you sow to the flesh, u shall of the flesh reap corruption, and if you sow to the spirit u shall of the spirit reap life everlasting!

xxKofoxx: Leave the judgement for God

abubaka101: Though I do not support some of the attitudes displayed by Nigerian religious leaders, I do feel this man's statement is remarkable. "Even if I send someone from hell they would still not listen": I feel this goes out to all those hypocrites deceiving people, and to those ignorant ones too... Always do what is right in the face of God, because the way of man is not the way of God...

JENMAUCY: Dear fijiano,I dnt think there is need calling names here,you can believe or leave it because you are entitle to your own opinion...but the truth still remains that virgin mary is blessed,as the op said,go to luke 1:27_28,here the angel told her that she is favoured and blessed among women,remember its a message from God,and I know that the angel deliver the message the way the sender ask him to. Let's go futher to verse 40-42,elizabeth stil cal her blessed,because of what she felt immediately she step into her home,it doesn't mean that the angel or elizabeth is worshiping her rather they apreciate what she accepted to do...or did you forget that heaven and earth await her answer after the angel have delivered the message? Yes heaven waits to hear her answer and in verse 38 she said behold am the handmaid of the Lord be it done to me according to thy word...do you know what it means? Even the angel can't leave without hearing her opinion on the message..then in verse 43 ,elizabeth asked her who am I that the mother of my Lord should come to me? My dear friends the angel $ elizabeth greeting makes up the hail mary you people hear today...hail mary full of grace the Lord is with you(angel..luk 1:28 )...blessed aree you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb (elizabeth luk 1:42 ) then the catholic church taking a look @ what happened at canna in that wedding feast,the role mary played in that miracle that takes place there decides to ask for her intercession not praying to hher! If she can intercede when she is not asked ,what did you think will hapen when she is asked to? She talked to her son and he oblige her on earth even when he is not ready to perform..or do you think Jesus is not aware that the drink has finished? That is where holy mary mother of God pray for us sinners now and till the hour of our death....

The Unbeatable: @ farm tech:

We have different goat breeds in nigerria namely;
Red bororo, west african long legged goat, west african dwarf goat. These are the ones I can identify myself and can talk about. To the best of my knowledge, the west african dwarf goat is best suited to the west and south(edo, delta). They are hardy(rugged, rarely sick, strong) and gives delicious meat especially in "obe ata".
Cost price of weaners is around 3-4k depending on size and location and adult sells for 13- 18k. It is a good business but you can not raise them well in confine( I stand to be corrected anyway but this is what I have known with experience).

pman06: My suggestion is that, if you have such money to buy the lands, why not just use it to rent more land, 1hectre is 5k per year. Cheaper and saves cost too.

quivah: Guess we misunderstood you..
But your stories from people from hell only bring fears to the heart of people.. this is not the reason Jesus came..

Some of your personal beliefs are misleading.
Please stop them! And help people work toward their salvation not instil fear! with your usual "if you do this,you go to hell" evangelism.

As regards to this,joining the army is not the issue. It has nothing to do with your spiritual life,just like the lawyers..you are actually helping your neighbours as the Lord requested..

Let the Holy Spirit put you through.

FarmTech: Hello Nairalanders. I hav great interest in goat farming but I'll like to know if there is one in nigeria, especially in the south or east region. Another question: can all those northern goat breeds resist tse tse fly in the south? Thanks as i anticipate ur replies.

FarmTech: i totally agree with you. Nigerians shud learn how to freely share information. The problem with many is that they even sell information that shud be free. Thanks so much. The australian lady u visited her farm, please i'll like to know some of the tips she shared with you. If u have pictures of how her pen look like, please share. Thanks.

FarmTech: hi Unbeatable, can u pls tell me which meat goat breed is suitable in the south-east region? I really want to go into goatry.

omotititi: @Farmtech.....what is the size of ur farm? welldone so far and wish u the best in ur farming enterprise.

The Unbeatable: @ bawelat,
Irrespective of your "insincerity" today, I will still respond to your question on "goatry"

Goatry is not a business for starters! The business appreciate over time and you will need to have a source of income. You can't depend on funds from your goatry business to give you your daily food if not you will kill the business yourself!
Now, let's get to business. Answer these questions sharp sharp
1. How much can you aFford to start the business?
2 your location matters. It will influence your choice of breed to buy.
3 availability of "range" ( do you have a fence house? Goats don't grow while tied to a stake. They grow if allowed to walk arround. That's the secret!
4 is there protection against pilferry (thieves/ ole) or poisoning from bad people?
5 have you done market research in your area about the marketting of goats?
You will need a vet doctor, can you afford it? If not befriend one of them o ( laughing)
6 you need shelter against adverse weather conditions. ( Do you know that water don't touch some parts on the head of goats? Dats why they shake their head while running for shelter on a rainny day)
7 can you cope with the menance of their bleep and dungs?
8Can you make pap and milk and spoon feed them if they are sick and can't eat? Especially the young ones!

These are some of the questions I can remember now. Please answer them in your heart and if you are bold and sure enough? Reply my questions here and let's discuss further.
You can still count on me if need be but you need to be straight forward with me. If you don't know, before I make any post, I still go back and read previous posts before replying any question or making any comment.

Evalastingly at it,
The unbeatable.
Mind you, dis is my nairaland name oooo! I am a cool Yoruba man and agric is my PRIDE!!!

Emma Ajayi: I have 40 broilers and 40 cockrels which l bought at day old about 10 weeks back.
Just employing this as a trial run. We started with Starter Vital Feeds for a month plus after which we started with Finisher at 8weeks plus. The broilers consume a lot more than the cockrels. I had to resort to buying local foods for them from experts at Abbatoir which cost lesser. The fact is that they were not rushing the food as they used to rush the Vital Feeds, but now they are getting used to it.
At each stage, we had to mix their drinking water based on specification by the Vet. Practitioner.
Both the broiler and cockrels now attack one another maybe because of not being promptly fed. Some of them have lost their eyes in the attacks which necessitated moving them to seperate cage. I also suspect that viruses attacked them thereby affecting their eyes. This attract the the attention of others who keep on pecking them in the affected parts.
Still need invite expert to inspect them and prescribe what other things we need to do as they are approaching 11 weeks.
We have lost 4 of them to dizziness and probably illness.
After this we intend to build a shed that will house about 2000 birds later.

n0m0705: Please I am very interested in how effective the wire merge you use for the floor is , please share with pictures.

5p1naz: I have zero experience in snail farming practically but vast knowledge when it comes to theory. I have been taught one on one... Read books and attended seminars in Nigeria and Ghana. Truth is I still wasn't convinced about the profitability of snail farming because these guys who teach these snail farming at these events don't even drive a car.

Not that I am here to boast or anything, I already have businesses giving me money, so if I can't. Get first hand facts about. Returns on an investment I immediately loose interest in the business.

Now the major reason why I am talking so much is this, first all I would say Isa and unbeatable, I think you guys are doing something good here that should not go "uncommended", taking time out of your busy schedules to educate us is commendable. Now the reason for my post, like I said earlier I have a lot of Infos on snail farming theoretically but never practically... I've tried and tried to get correct information on income and expenses locally but Nigerians are just not forth coming... All they are interested in selling to you is their book or more seminars.

I visited these guys farm in Lagos and I told him i already had enough seminars.. I just needed clarification on a number of things, he told me point blank he won't disclose anything to me until I paid for his seminar. I was disgusted.

So Late last month i went for a 2weeks holiday in Australia, and I met this Australian lady also into snail farming... Even though our african snails are different from their snail type, the farming practices are so much identical.. I was amazed at how much help and info she was willing to give out. She told me all I wanted to know.. I spent a whole week on her farm and we worked together all day.. She was just amazing. Now I know a lot better. I would try to use some of her skills here in Nigeria and hope I can make it bigger than hers.

Her farm is on a 3 acre and she produces 10000 snails every week.

Moral of the story: Africans would forever remain undeveloped and poor if they do not emulate the attitude of the aussy lady, Isa & unbeatable.

I would start my farm soon on a 1 PLOt and see how it goes. Then I would enlarge it if successful. Whilst clearing the one plot of land, we found several snails (acharchatina marginata) which I kept in an enclosed space, 2 of which have just laid eggs. 1 didn't count the first Set of eggs from the first snail, But the 2nd egg was laid yesterday morning and I counted 50. That's a good start and promising. Anyways, I would order for my first set of breeders once the coco yam start to grow as shades on the land. And I would upload the egg pic as soon as I get on my pc. I'm still a learner and I would appreciate any suggestion.

This is just my experience so far...

Cheers

boluwajokosegun: Good thinking, A friend just started with two goats in two years he has 8 goats all together. There is no established commercial goat farm in the west or east but there is very high demand for goats in those regions, only recently ogun state just establish one, so an opportunity abound for any investor who want to go into goat farming, perticular in those part of the country with year round green vegetation that is why the fulani greeze their cattle to those part & it feed on farmers's crops which in turn result to fight.
If u are interested in setting up a goat farming them please employ expert with good feasibility study.
You can rent rent an acre of land in oyo state close to ibadan at N5k per year or buy for N150k an acre close to farm settlement.
