And when there is anger and resentment, prayers doesn't work.

The Bible said if one is having issues with his/her neighbour, that one should settled with him before even bringing offerings for it to be accepted.

autoez:
Games women play. See how it ended.

Lessons: Anger is bad and God hates it. Anger leads you nowhere

Don't say what you don't know.
The idea that he didn't not make attempts is wrong.

Abi you no know say; if woman put there mind into achieving in life the will surely do it.

dominique:
Imagine if the mother had not died and one of these children become a famous celebrity and wants nothing to do with him. He will go and start granting interviews and crying to the cameras that his children are avoiding him. How can you be alive and chose not to be actively involved in your children's lives?

All this talk about their mother blocking him from seeing them are bloody lies and utter balderdash. Did she lock them up in a vacuum chamber and made them inaccessible? You're in the same country for goodness sakes, why not take her to court if truly she was preventing you from seeing them?

She's dead now, you know she can't defend herself, you now want to use the same lame excuse men have been using for decades for refusing to be in their children's lives. Kolewerk!

That ia what the system what us to believe

Zocalite:
Oga catfish is luxury oo

Ordinary fish kote, alaran, sawa, etc are daily consumed fish, even all this have become expensive , moreover catfish which is mostly consumed recreationally

Who Should Fix the Price of Catfish in Nigeria - Part 2?

Today, let us speak plainly.
Fish farming in Nigeria has become a system where everyone profits except the farmer.

The middlemen decide what to pay.
They show up at harvest, bargain like it’s a charity market, and walk away smiling while the farmer counts losses.

I am of the opinion that the middlemen must be eliminated completely.
When farmers sell directly to consumers, both sides win.
Farmers earn a fair price.
Consumers buy at a fair price.
And the old saying “Olowo ni n jẹ eja” (only the rich eat fish) becomes history.

We are a nation of over 220 million people.
If just 10% of us ate fresh catfish weekly, there would be nothing left unsold and prices would rise naturally, not by manipulation.

But what do we see instead?
Fish from farms are made to look “exotic,” reserved for the wealthy few in Lagos and Abuja.
The market has been hijacked not by scarcity, but by systems that benefit the middle chain and starve the producers.

I have read so many opinions from farmers
some say “add value,”
others say “produce the sizes the market demands,”
and a few suggest “form cooperatives and set the price together.”

All great ideas… but as long as the fox remains in the pen with the fowl,
the outcome will always be the same.
We will continue to work, while others dictate what our sweat is worth.

It is time to reset the story.
Fish is not luxury it is food.
And those who feed the nation deserve dignity, not pity.

Who Should Fix the Price of Catfish in Nigeria?

Le us talk truth today,, the kind of truth that burns the tongue but purifies the heart.

Who should fix the price of catfish in the market?
The farmer who raised it, the bulk buyer who transported it, or the market that doesn’t even know what goes into a single kilogram of flesh?

We need to have this conversation because something is not adding up.

💭 Think about it:

When a poultry farmer raises chicken, he feeds them for six to eight weeks, sells, and still makes at least 70% ROI.
He gets his capital back, his profit intact, and a smile to the bank.

But for the catfish farmer?
Six months of sweat.
Feeds that cost like gold.
Diesel that drains the soul.
Water bills. Security. Labour.
And when it is harvest time, , someone walks in, prices it like garri, and says “₦2,6600 per kg is fair.”

Fair to who?
Because when that same fish gets to the market, it is sold for ₦4,000 or more,,sometimes even ₦4,500.
They say it’s “transportation and logistics.”
But let us call it what it is: injustice in uniform.


The bulk buyer calls it risk.
He forgets the farmer risked everything,;
the fingerlings that did not survive,
the fluctuating feed prices,
the power outages that killed the aerators,
the loans that came with deadlines.

The real risk begins inside the pond, not on the highway.

The farmer feeds Nigeria, yet goes hungry.
The marketers make more profit than the people who actually produce.
And consumers don’t get cheaper fish either,, they still buy high.

So who is winning?
The middlemen.
And who is bleeding?
The farmers,, the backbone of our nation’s protein source.

💬 It’s time to ask:
Why don’t farmers have a say in fixing the price of what they produce?
Why is it that the one who labours most gets paid least?

In the poultry sector, farmers formed cooperatives.
They talk, they decide, they stand together.
But in aquaculture, everyone fights alone
and that is why everyone loses.

This is a call to conscience.
Farmers deserve a seat at the pricing table.
If fish farming will remain sustainable,
then farmers must determine what their sweat is worth.

Because until the farmer can smile after harvest,
no pond in this country is truly profitable.
