ok. thanx

Is he talking about the farming or the processing.
I don't really think farming is so much profitable considering the stress involved.
I am not discouraging anyone but let's be realistic. i stand to be corrected

after giving you 150k, they will give you 250k next time you request for a loan.
they just want to be sure that you will repay the first one they gave u in good time.

u didn't put any contact details here.

how much?

Thx for this information. I will come back to farming again.
Technology is really helping and making the job easier for determined minds.

has anyone used the GNLD fertilizer for fish farming?
Pls share your experience and observation (whether good or bad) with us

Yes, the timing belt is intact. The car is properly serviced even before it is due for servicing
ordinarily, one should be able to ring engine like 2 times
but for aluminium engines, it seems to be impossible or not advisable

Pls. I need fish ponds for rent in osun or oyo state. I prefer earthen ponds mostly
If otherwise, should be close to river or shallow well so I can use water pump
Kindly contact me with the details and dimensions of the ponds and other facilities available if you have any
My email: femi799@yahoo.com

for people to actively respond, you must place what you have to offer on board, then, if people find it interesting they will respond/contribute

why don't u want to mention the price here?

If it is the new drivers licence, you can use the photocopy. Preferably, coloured photocopy.
but make sure it is genuine because they can check it on their systems to verify whether it is genuine or not

IdaraCHODB: If you love the car very much, then speak to others who use that vehicle or a trusted individual in your nearest spare parts market, they will show you the top dealers in quality engines for your type of vehicle. Then meet them and strike a deal, let the dealer know what you have passed through and know that nothing but grade 1 will satisfy you. If you have difficulty finding such a person, I might be able to leverage on my contacts to find one for you.
In the alternative, order that engine from the US, they will give you a certified low mileage engine.
I have once tried the engine rebuild thing in Nigeria. The engine will never be the same unless the repairman will follow the manufacturer engine rebuild manual and do such things as replace all the stretch bolts, torque the bolts to the right degree and some other seemingly minor requirements like replace the oil pump with new which will be found in the factory repair manual.
You will be entering dangerous uncharted territory by using an engine with such characteristics in your interstate trips, I tried and I got burnt, so I speak from experience.
You don't want to be stranded in the middle of nowhere.
I was ready to buy all the parts to rebuild my engine to factory specifications but I didn't find someone who could do it for me to such specifications, you may find someone but he will price his services way behind the cost of what they call Grade 1 Tokunbo or what it would cost you to buy and ship the same engine from the US.
So my candid advice, drop the 2 engines, do not sell them as scrap since you might need the parts and get a quality replacement engine for your own sake!!

Thank you. God bless you greatly. I am following you advice.

IdaraCHODB: One thing that can prolong the life of your aluminum engine is a proper coolant mixture not just water. Am sure there is a lot more you can do, please conduct the research and share with us

Sir, you are very correct as overheating will expand the aluminium and cause major damage to the engine

lomomike: Contrary to the feeling that Aluminium engines are fragile, they are much more lighter and stronger than steel. But can't be welded the normal way steel is welded they have to be made using an expensive specialized process. As for the stupid advice to get engine ready when one fails shows you've been dealing with a monkey of a mechanic ignorantly. I believe you're learned and you can read well. I know you have access to internet and you can search on how preventive maintenance goes so as to prevent expensive heart stopping repairs. Please throw that monkey of a mechanic off your car service line, employ more time to study online learn some DIYs and employ someone who knows what he's doing. The last time I checked, engines don't smoke out abnormally, its mostly due to carelessness on the part of the owner or his/her clown mechanic not following manufacturers

Thanks so much for the advice. The first engine that came with the car was OK, but due to mechanic's stubbornness, the timing belt got broken, valves got bent and since I've used the engine very well for almost a year, I decided to buy another one so that I can also have some spare parts. Now, the second one started soaking plugs after about 5 months and it is obvious that the piston rings are worn out. I spoke to like 10 volvo specialists and they were all saying I should replace the engine and that if they ring the engine, they cannot give me any guarantee.
Let me point out that I used to travel with the car a lot because it doesn't fail and it's fast, the balancing is superb. I do at least 3000km/month. The only major challenge I ever have is this engine and am trying to weigh options so that I will not be beating about the bush.

immortalcrown: Apple!

you're not serious!

are you selling fresh maize or dried ones?

I've been hearing of castor for long time, but have not seen anything serious coming out of it.
We were asked to go and farm and invest our money without market assurance.
Well, don't let me conclude otherwise while i hope for the positive

depends on your location.
coppens 2mm & 3mm - 5400
coppens 4mm & above- 5200
durantee 2mm = 5400
durantee 4mm & above = 5200
ziegler = 5200
aqua manna - 4000

local feed with 25kg fish meal/ 100kg = 26k

however, go to the market and enquire

mount1ng: @Ejaja, I got mail. The cost of processing a Tonne depends on the area and state. Some charges as low as N3.50k and has high N8 per kilo. 1000kg make a tonne. So do your calculations.
A tonne is of rice is around 60-80k. The price is not stable. Your packaging depends on what you want to use. U can us nylon, sack or paper carton. Do your calculations.
Eboyin and Abia. I heard that there's a market where most of these commodities are sold, which I am planing of exporting. The state sponsored farms only sell to the state. The state has the right of 1st offer. Just like the rice brought into this country taste different so are the rice planted here. To tell you the truth, people prefers Nigerian grown stone free rice to the imported one. It taste very nice.

Pls sir, I want to get something straight here. Does the processing you're talking about includes parboiling the harvested rice and drying it before removing the chaff? I used to farm rice with my father and these are the things we used to do then (like 20years ago). After harvesting the rice, we squeeze it to get only the grains, then we boil it, then dry it, then take it to machine. Things could have changed, technology is advancing. Kindly clarify.

I have noticed over time that cars with aluminium block engines are not easily repairable or rather not repairable (when they are getting worn out) like their cast block engine counterpart. I used a Nissan primera 2.0 aluminium engine and it was a waste of time and money ringing the engine. Now, I have Volvo 850, only for me to be advised to buy a tokunbo engine anytime the engine start smoking or wearing out.
Does this mean that these engines are so fragile that it cannot be overhauled or our local mechanic are not getting something right.
Learned expert and experienced fellows in the house Please contribute.

how much?

no pix, no details.
are you selling the 3vehicles for 800k?

they will all run mad with this their finding cos they will end up getting nothing.
the work of Almighty God is UNSEARCHABLE

US is friendly enemy.
Their assistance is embedded with disaster

These APC states have so many occurences in common.
Tejuosho market burnt and rebuilt a modern market for the rich, similar thing is happening in Ibadan
Lagos reduced school fees, dem copy am for ogun state
Let's watch out for more...

Those sellers are stewpid and have low self-esteem. How can you risk your life for 1m - 1.2m and u didn't collect upfront. It is high level of madness. If at all they have to sell their kidney, the bargain should start from 10m. With 7m down payment before leaving the shores of Nigeria and 3m balance after the operation. I will take another relative or trusted friend along. All trip sponsored by the buyer.

Nice car.
A/C working?
Lagos cleared or cotonou?
