ytdivine: 1. Coconut Tree I planted many coconut trees some years ago. Today, I have it in large quantity. There is no university of experience. You have to acquire it. Am writing base on experience. If you have 20 trees of coconut, over a million naira annual revenue is guaranteed. My coconut tree gives over 120 big fruits each per season which translates to over #50k. This is the minimum you can get if you take care of the tree. Please stop the procrastination, the second best time to plant coconut is now
Pls can you share the type of seedling you planted, price and where source for it. Additionally, how many coconut trees can one acre of land contain considering the spacing you mentioned. Thanks....
Yes I did. I visited some notable places in Dhaka, Sylhet, China border etc. I spent 3 months and I bought cheap clothes and other things for personal use only. Things are very cheap in the country. I really enjoyed the place. Nigerians do go there for business.

Please help me. Am broke now. Don't know what else to do.
After the second consecutive attack on our farm and I finally decided to find time to make an official report at the police station, a piece of advice the DPO gave after being briefed about our case keep ringing on my head, his words were "Mr. Oludipe, I've read your statement and I can feel how much labour you've poured into your project and the least expected is the current happening but you have to ensure that you don't take laws into your hand once the perpetrators are caught because it's dangerous to you and your project" which I replied with, Sir, it will only take the Grace of God for me not to take laws into my hand especially if the person is caught red handed then he smiled and truly, it took the Grace of God for me not to respond after the recent biological attack on our farm.
For those who has not been following, here is the link to the initial attacks https://www.nairaland.com/7411904/could-reason-why-farm-poisoned and the series of recent attacks started probably on the 25th of December 2022 and it was a planned attack. They made sure I had left the ranch for Christmas, their village is just by the main and only road and they knew my car and could also confirm if I am on the farm since I'm the only one that currently works here aside the fact that they are our neighbors next to us and could really get close and even sneak in closer to observe our far from a few distance without being noticed, that was the ploy used when our farm was first poisoned and our only crime is our animal graze on their farm.
initially I believed they are going to be asset and thought good things about them as I even plan for the farm, with solar powered irrigation, I've imagined how our irrigation system will power our farm and their for them to remain in business especially since they are pepper farmers and earns every 5 days but only during the rainy season while they're mostly jobless in dry season. But the truth is after I got closer to them, I see how massive their envy and jealous is. They are 3 in number, one Yoruba who happens to be their leader and two cotonue boys, their leader was born in 1985 (inscription from his stomach) while the two boys should be from mid 90s. They specialises in killing, kidnapping and murdering animals that grazes on their farmland but the community is getting wider and livestock are having access to farmland that are closer and while some close lands are being used to plant cocoa which income comes like twice in year, they are perennial farmers, plant corn, pepper and some tubers. Pepper for instance can be picked and sold every 5 days for 6months - 7months and that's having more than enough money to run a family, do village big boy and smoke some Igbo steadily.
So I approached them, apologize for the encroachment of their land, requested for what to pay which they turns dow, told them about our current difficulties, begged them to be patience as we solve those difficulties and promised to settle them better as we've started settling every farmers from the proceed of logs of wood that we have. at that time, we have over 5 acres of land under a very thick forest with over an half a million naira estimate in terms of the firewood. There are 3 farmers in close proximity and settling everyone of them with good amount from the log proceed is never a problem.
So fast forward to the recent attack, I left the farm on the 24th December 2022 at around 9:15pm, reason is to ensure that my car is not seen because I envisage the attack after our animals graze again on their farm. We are in the height of dry season and we don't have a fodder yet while we can't also keep them on dried cassava peels. The shee all that had already pregnant and had never graze outside our farm are left to graze everyday while the goats graze once in every 3 days just to help their rumen remain in good ph. But to goats, plants like cassava leaves smells like the way jollof rice would smell to human. After they finished the cassava leaves on our farmland I reduced their grazing to once a week and it's always monitored, I go out with them and ensure they don't leave my sight but they are not satisfied, I never knew they've pulled a prison break on me until after the 3 day so they've grazed 2 full day outside the guided perimeter without knowing until my attention was called that they are grazing outside and i have to look closer at their house and blocked the exit. I went to see our neighbors on the 23rd December 2022, begged them, asked for what we should pay which the insisted nothing and reiterate on the logs we intend to settle everyone but forgiveness is not in their book which made me understand that there is more to their action beyond the plant that was grazed on.
None of the animals were sick before I left but by the time I came back on the evening of 26th December 2022 after spending nights consecutively with my family for the first time since August 26th that we've been here, I resumed to sick animals, a pregnant nursing mother sheep and a weaned young ram. They are just unable to walk and I thought it was because they haven't grazed since straight 48hrs because I left a strict warning never to let loose the animals while I left enough food both cassava peels and formulated feed.
And by the morning of 27th, they are dead. Both! But we are still in the mood of celebration, I palm it, processed both, the matured was roasted and the baby for our dogs. Not until the death toll reaches 4 with the same style of death starting from disoriented walk to loss of appetite, inability to walk then bloat and death. I sat to tackle the initial sickness that resembles listeriosis (lack of calcium), called our feed supplier and told me it's not from the feed, he had the courage to say so after the death toll reaches 4 and I believed because he's a professional and I've also gave them calcium gluconate injection, then the next that came to my mind is why would a bloat not go? I've rescued more than 4 animals since we came and by the following day they are ok so why would a bloat automatically leads to death? So I thought of post mortem.
All these animals are healthy before I left, we are in the dry season and there are hardly bloat causing plant so something else is affecting the rumen so I went to check where I emptied the rumen of the recent animal and viola I saw the foreign object that blocks the rumen and put more weight on their lover body that then causes the disoriented walking before finally bloating which is the last stage before death. A circle that leads to death no matter what I do to save them.
I knew it was an attack and since it's the only sheep that are the victim because they are allowed to graze outside, I thought about checking their grazing route and by the time the death toll reaches 7 with the same death pattern and even after they are no longer allowed. to graze outside I knew the it's their house and viola I saw 2 of the bait. A twine cut into pieces and knotted them soaked. Twine are fibres, ruminants likes fibers and the oil makes it more palatable in their mouth till the swallow and get stuck in their stomach.
Now our flock has reduced, to just 3 animals, a mother, a child and a father (ram). I was calling places to keep them just to save them but no one is available then I said to myself tonight, I'll be watching over them disrespect of how tired I would be, but my spirit says no I shouldn't because it's not as if I don't know the perpetrators but the thought sounds foolish and I discarded it, I brace up myself but the thought still coming back and I keep discarding it so I went to bed earlier, set my alarm and started thinking about best place to stay till it's 3am when cock crow then I stood up and was led to a portion at the back of the goat house close to the boundary river, as I laid carefully, that thought came again and said "you're making a mistake, this is not your battle and if you fight it you will loose", I asked why and the spirit said the perpetrator would never have expected me to be around least alone have cutlass with me and by the time I caught him i wont be able to curtail my anger and a single strike is all it takes rubbish all my efforts, labor and dreams about the project and also probably be behind bars then the DPO will remind me of his fatherly words we had in his office. It was the Grace I asked for that was speaking to me since the moment I conceived the thought to catch the perpetrator.
At about 4:15am, January 11 Wednesday 2023 after being in trance for almost 40 minute, the person came, saw our dogs by the river, chased them as they came to our land, never knew they followed me and he also crossed to our land, heads straight to the back of the goat house and within few seconds, he's back to the river, wet his pepper and left.
Now when he crossed and heads to the goat house, the spirit that was talking to me was silent, I had an option of turning on the light and I wanted to but my heart raced into other few actions that would have followed after switching on the lamp, I'll have stood up, held the machete and swing from his neck downward to his chest and that would have been the end. I saw it but Grace withered my whole body from acting. When he went back to the river to water the pepper that same spirit asked again " is this who you wanted to be fighting?, is this who you would have risk aborting the project for?" I said no, he is not worth it, nothing is worth it.
I stood up minutes after he left, heads to the goat house but sadly the last mother sheep has eaten the knotted twine he three bringing the total victim of the biological attack on our farm to 9 pregnant sheep and a ram.
At the moment, we have completed our irrigation casting and covered the are with chainlink net. Here is the video of our irrigation system https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Bo3Mhc6WI8
Let people tag you a weak person; but I believe that you are strong. Don't worry, the set back you are facing presently will be part of your success story in the future. Pls maintain the solid character you have built overtime. I'm so sorry for your loss.

How much of the the new notes do you currently have in your possession as at when you read this post?
craves: Any idea pls... I tried making a few calls but most bank call center agents don't like disclosing deposit rates over phone calls
Use RENMONEY or Branch investment. Their interest rates are between 12-20% per annum. You can research about them. I have abt 5million in their fixed deposit.
Nijagogetsense: I sent some amount into my branch account today. I wanted to transfer the money to another bank account but was telling me to update my account. I can't find the same branch app on google playstore.
Any one with a solution?
Same thing happened to me. I had to upgrade my account before I could transfer a million naira to the account and perform other transactions. All you require is your NIN and NEPA bill. They have a good customer care and they could be of help.
Peledonomy: I dey owe branch over 60k for 8 months now
Thank God you did not try it with other useless loan app that knows how to tarnish people's image. However, try to pay up to avoid embarrassment as branch loan is one of the best for now because they always give their customers the opportunity to pay back their loan without any form of harassment. Integrity is the key.
breakthrough22: If she stays too long in her father house,I will never accept her back .
Seriously, I have missed my family but I am not accepting her back if she spend the remaining days in January in his dad house and I will never send a dime to them
You have not learnt anything from your mistakes; you pushed her to the wall and still ranting. You guys are not divorced but only separated, and it's your responsibility to cater for you child. The law will force you to pay for the upkeep of your child. You need a change of attitude to convince your wife to come back as I presumed her to be suffering emotionally. Get a good marriage councilor as soon as possible before it will be too late. A word is enough for the wise.

After having their hair cut on the 22nd of Dec, my kids requested to visit their great grandma who leaves around that area, but on our way there the terrible accident happened. ( I don't want to go into details how it happened cause everything is still playing in my head)
My son was unconscious with blood all over his head and face, I thought he was death cause he was in the theater for more 1hour before some people rush to me to come and hear my son crying. I kept crying and declaring my son's name Emmanuel God is with you will die no way because Emmanuel is also the reason for this season's celebration (Xmas). Prayers was offered even people I don't know that witness the accident rushed there ready to donate blood in case of necessity.
I want to use this medium to once again thank especially the Doctor that God use to work and stitch his scalp and face together, he was actually going to his place of work saw the nature of the accident and decide to follow the bike men to the hospital where my son was rush to, we later got to know that he works in a different hospital but a specialist in such cases., to the people that rushed my son to that hospital God will reward them accordingly ( I don't even know them I would have gone to their various home to thank them and to all d nurses and staff of Good Shepherd Medical Center Ayingba kogi State, thank you all and I pray God will always come through for you all in Jesus name.
An accident that claim 3 of my son's teeth, the devil came to late, we give God the praise
Nairalander please wish us speed recovery, we have been discharged from the hospital.
stuffs2002: I don't think you can get 80 pieces of that size of yams at N20K in any market in Nigeria. You may not get it as cheap as that even if you went directly to the farmers
I did not write for you to agree that the quantity can be bought for the stated price; but all I can tell you is that I have bought it countless times with Jara. I'm not a yam seller, but I do buy it for consumption and as gift for my neighbors. For you to establish that you can get some commodities very cheap in some places is based on the knowledge you have about different states. I have travelled to 90% of the states in Nigeria including the hinterlands.
Guest2008: Just one month left my people. Were you able to accomplish what you aimed for at the beginning of the year?
As for me, I'm still hopeful on the God of the eleventh hour
Yes, I thought all hope was lost but in September, God made me achieve three times of what I hoped for. This is my best year so far. I'm hoping for a bigger one in 2023. God can still do your own.
Kswine: Please what is this thing about mother in-law and daughter in-law that doesn’t make them get along?
Am in the middle an issue and don’t know how to proceed, let me tell you how it all started.
I’m the first born of my family, my father left us with my mom and marry another woman. To assist my mom I had to get a part time job while still in secondary school and this really affect my life.
Fast forward to 5 years ago I met my wife and we begin dating, during this time I won’t lie I saw some red flags about her family but was hoping things will change along the line. Her mom is a prophetess in a white garment church, she said my wife was her favorite in all her children. I didn’t count it because I see it as a normal thing for a mother to love her child endlessly.
To cut the long story short, last year my babe got pregnant and we decided to introduce both families and after that she will go stay with my mom for a while because am not always around and she need someone at home with her.
Now during this time mom do complain that she’s not free and do isolate herself from the rest of the family, on many occasion I’ll sit her down and we talk things out only for it to repeat itself.
On the second month of her stay with my mom I told her to go visit her mom maybe when she comes back things will be better, my wife got to her house and told her mom all sort of things and the next thing she and her mom started insulting my mom. All this thing happened around March this year and since then they have been begging because I told her nothing will make me marry her again.
Family meeting upon family meeting has been going on and at the end they want me to forgive her and bring her home which my mom insist.
Now I don’t want to look like a weak man because she and her family went too far by insulting someone I love and cherish and on the other hand I don’t want my daughter to grow up without a father figure in her life, so I don’t know what to do.

FashionCookie: Christianity 4 Nigeria get as e take dey. If person wan reason as e take dey, to go church sef go hard.
I like your submission. I have learnt to only go to church to praise and worship God. I usually step out immediately after service and zoom off. Gossiping is more rampant in the church of God. Let's learn to concentrate on God and not on man. The reason why some people are relating with you is because of what they can benefit from you. They will abandon you the moment you are down. The simple truth is that, no matter the effort you put in place to please human being, they will still disappoint you.
Finalex: I had an experience that left a sour taste in my mouth and now this is happening,so I came here to here to seek varied opinions.
So when I first started work,a friend kept begging me to help her submit CV because she needed a job badly,na so I take her CV and she was later employed and we were in same team And I was very close to the manager,the girls then gossiped the hell out of me and this my unfortunate friend joined them.
So one day,the supervisor announced that we will having a meeting at a location,the next morning I got there first,it became war,they said if I wasn't dating the manager that how did I know about the meeting and the location They all denied that they didn't hear. Long story short,this girl fought me as in physical fight o, exchange of blows hmm.
I later lost that job and I vowed never to help any body in job related anything.
This incidence happened a long time and I am working somewhere now,2 people dropped from team and my boss is scouting for replacement,not that this job is high paying but I hold it dear to my heart,is my second oxygen,Nigeria is not smiling
So I know this lady,not that we are close,she called me that the bank she is working laid her off,so she is seriously searching for another job
She calls me incessantly,she is married with kids...I know I can help but I am keep remembering what ijeoma did me.
So I came to ask, should I or should not....
I will advice you to keep doing good. You will mature with the damage. You can't excape such people in life. Keep doing your thing and everything will continue to work in your favor. Above all, be careful and pray.
kernniejay: From the experiences of people on Nairaland, buying a Nigerian used of any Peugeot car is very risky. Peugeot is very sensitive to bad maintenance that is why most Nigerians that want to sell their Peugeot are only looking for who to pass their liabilities to, except in few rare cases. So go for the Nigerian used Honda.
I have been using Peugeot 406 and Honda EOD for the past 9 and 2 years respectively. Both are good if you have efficient maintenance culture. In terms of fuel economy and endurance, my Peugeot is the real deal becos I travelled with it a lot. I travelled with my EOD from the North to Lagos only once without problem. My EOD is often used within the state and not for long journey. Your choice depend on the reason for buying the car.
lekkys: The car is super clean,first body paint, toks standard,brought in by the owner in 2018,but owner is always in and out of the country. The price is #3.1m,slightly negotiable call or watsap me on 08179484015.
If you gree for 1.5m let me know. I want to buy it for my Uber business.
Tinubu will lose Lagos. That's for sure. Non indigenes outnumber the indigenes and APC has been winning by less than 100k margins the past few years. Tinubu is a bad product that doesn't inspire hope in the masses especially the youths who are now disillusioned with bad governance and are very energized to vote against the misrule of the APC. Tinubu will be shocked by how big his loss in lagos will be.
Continue to be deceiving yourself on nairaland. It won't be easy to defeat Tinubu in Lagos. As you are here typing on nairaland he is strategizing; the man too Sabi politics. If you are not careful, he will win your polling booth. Start from there!
