My dad is late just my mum who is in her 62yrs now. And had surgery, she is not yet working except the little things she sell at the junction. Then the house girl of JSS3 and two other adults who are yet to stand and 90% depend on me.

Also, my elder sister who lost her work and she has been on me too. No matter how I try to dodge, I will still send to them.

You can get a POS machine for your elder sister if she will agree to start with that

Rearing for that long is less profitable commercially. There is also risk of death.
They are actually for personal consumption for December

My eyes are already on them and I give them good food without mixing the food with anything

Just food and good water

Nothing will happen to them. Just switch their feed to grower if they are already at a size you wished.
I have one of about 2yrs already.
I normally process my broiler at 6-8wks
Something happened and I had 1left over, so it wasn't having any economic returns again, so keeping for kill
Did you say two years
Hmmm

They are on grower and it's lovely on them as they don't fall sick or look weak

But fat and active

I am short of words. As I am typing this thing now, I am deeply depressed. I am very very hurt.

Straight to the point. I just rounded off my NYSC this October without any savings from NYSC because I bought all equipment needed to start my business once am done with service.

Now, I am back at home since 7th of October. Since I came back, all the feeding bills are on my head. The worst part that made me make this post. You can't believe that I have made 150k within 1st October till today 23rd October. But I don't have 5 naira to show. I mean 5 naira. Nothing is left with me. I don't have girlfriend, I don't club, I don't smoke, I don't squander. All the money I am making are being eating with MOUTH.

I dont have any investment. I put on gen everyday till night to work. But they will all finish it wit mouth. Ok, I borrowed 30k to buy my new laptop of 80k. The money I suppose to use and repay, they have finished it with mouth. I am 100% cashless now.

Pls, how can I go about this? I need to leave house or I fit run mad or commit suicide. I am very very hurt. I am pained excessively. Pls, house I need your advice on this pls and pls and pls. I can't continue like this. I am a man coming up.
Admin you can help me to get more advice pls.
You are trying to stand up and you are carrying heavy weight along, you will definitely fall

Your family have been surviving with out you, so now you have to move out and go to another city or place where you can plan well

If you give them the impression that there is money, they will keep demanding

Establish yourself first because if you go broke you will be worst that a useless man because you will be extremely broke and no one will believe that you are broke

Then from. Wherever you are, you can still send to them

What about your parents are they doing anything to assist the family

5months old broilers are not too old to consume…some people keep broilers as long as 8months.
But I think most people prefer to rare them for shorter periods- 3-4 months. Because of the cost of keeping them for longer periods.
Yes I believe you

I have eight of them and they consume one bag of 7000 in three weeks

But they poo any how

Though they have wire mesh floor so the poo go straight to the floor without them getting contaminated

As a farmer I consider this as crap

Sayed and agrited aren't same at all, Sayed grows faster than agrited from week 1-5 but agrited surpasses them in the 6-7week.
Agrited grows magically, week 3-4 you'd wondering if they're even growing enough but week 5-7 you'll see magic growth as long as there's constant feeding.


The last set of Sayed I did had genetics problem, fatty liver. Still building experiences though but imagine out of 200birds about 15 specifically male birds died off on the fourth week due to fatty liver, I don dey fear them.
I have broilers that will be 3 months this end of October

They are very fat and have fat legs

I am raising them for Christmas for my family

I hope by December when they will be 5 months, it won't be too late to consume them

I mean must they be consumed at three months or they can stay beyond three months

They eat a bag of pallet feed grower in three weeks they have very fat legs from day one up till this three months

If I continue on their feed till December Christmas would they still be healthy

They are very healthy

The only time they will take a break is to drink water and theirs is ‘poo as you go’
But at least what they eat will show in their growth.
I like watching them eat. So I tend to over feed mine. I always feel sorry for them if they don’t have enough feed.
They are really born to eat… no caps!

Chai! Broilers sole purpose in this life is to chop. You fill up their feeders, go and pee, before you come back, they have finished the food. You will just be hearing, konk! Konk! Konk! Sound of their beaks on metal. They will just sit down by the feeder and keep eating till the food is finished... They can eat 20 hours out of 24 hours.
Exactly eat and poo constantly

They love drinking water so much

Hello,

I need an advice, am a plumber and also good at my job working experience at least 5year, am married with 2kids, was introduced to a business (crypto P2P) which I start about 5years ago and it’s a life changing at least I making around at least (2m - 3.5m) monthly, since I join the business am only able to attend to huge plumbing work contracts, I can basically say am at large having my own apartment but since then having been saving up to invest (real estate) and starting a big physical business, was about time to start here comes the JAPA pressure on all aspect people around me moving out of nigeria on student route and the pressure is so much that even my partner and friends are telling to move out of nigeria but at my own end am seeing different thing, start my business and investing in real estates was a big deal just to secure a steady income yearly…

The pressure around is just too much I just need advice either to use my savings to invest or to japa?
I think you should arrange for your family to move then stay behind and watch things

If you want to visit them you do so

Over time you will decide if to go and join them or not
FamilyRe: I Feel I'm Damaging Myself As My Wife Has Left Again by frozen70(f): 4:07pm On Oct 23, 2022
Djbond:
I'll summarize this as possible.

No one is perfect, yes I hit her cuz I was suspicious of her cheating. I bought her an Android phone and she started chatting with guys on FB and WhatsApp, talking about location on how to meet. I'm not always around though, I come home once in 2 days and I provide everything enough for she and our 3 daughters need to sustain on a daily. She doesn't work, our first daughter is 4, and our twins girls are 2 years old. So I believe she doesn't need to stress herself but just to take care of the kids.

Fast forward, she left a day after I beat her (I know it's not right but I couldn't hold the anger anymore) and i already apologized afterwards not knowing she had in mind to leave. I came home and couldn't find her and the kids, I called and started begging, my landlady, my friends, all our neighbors in the street called and begged her, she just kept lying that she will come back today, come back tomorrow but we never see her. I cried and cried, almost killed myself, didn't eat for days, just drinking and smoking, got admitted to the hospital, my neighbor called my wife that I'm in the hospital, she didn't care, never came to check on me.

I called her few days after I got discharged that I miss her and asked her why she didn't come to check on me at the hospital. She only gave an excuse that she has started some pos work in their street. She lives in her father's house now with her stepmom. Her junior brothers are the ones taking care of the children. Her junior sister told me all the dirty things she has been doing since she has got back to their house, like going to sleep in a guy's house overnight when her dad is on night shift. I called her dad to explain, but didn't give me the chance to explain. I called her last week Saturday to come see me, and i collected the phone she's using to do runs up and down from her. Now she uses her sister's phone to do those things now.

She called me with her sister's phone on Monday that i should move on when she discovered that I already know all the things she's doing. I have a problem moving on, I always think about her and my children.
I don't have appetite to eat even as I type this, I'm drinking royal circle. I hope this won't lead to my demise as I'm killing myself slowly. I love her. Why are women like this?

Pls nairalanders don't judge me or abuse me for hitting her. No one is perfect and there's no man that will take it if he sees his woman with another man

NB: I regretted hitting her and already apologiized and prayed to God for forgiveness
You are actually killing yourself

If you are ready to share her with other men then go and bring her back

She has gone to test another man and that's the worst that can happen to a married Man

Her reasons are best known to her

Assuming you have a side chic before now, you would have been consoling yourself with her

I think you should consider starting a new life or go back to her and deal with her and her guy's

TPGoddess:
Hi! I am back with another topic.

Okay, my boyfriend and I have been dating for 4 months plus and for the most part it has been terrific. We chat, videocall and do what most couples do.

The only main issue I see is that the entirety of our relationship has been long distance. I was completely aware and consented to it, but now I am having second thoughts on the relationship as a whole.

-- Side Track--
In between being in my first relationship and having high expectations of my man, I have this ideology that as a couple we should treat each other equally. Let me explain, if I go out my way for you, I expect the same. I always thought it would make sense that way.
--Side Track --

Anyways, we made time to meet and he agreed on coming over first. When he came over, I made sure I wasn't an inconvenience to him. However when, I want to come over, he gives me the cold shoulder.

I voiced out my anger and he made me feel like my emotions aren't valid. I have been looking at everything he has done to annoy me and I am starting to second guess.

I need your help on this one. Am I overreacting to the whole situation?
I think you are yet to understand that Naija guys done have the kind of time to handle the kind of relationship that you want or looking for

So, you have to adjust your system

Benokonma:
I had to create an account for this because of the bashing that may follow(the internet never forgives or forget and on this forum I have shared my reservations against single mums..lol).

So back in my university days I had a gf. She took in for me in my final year. Being an Igbo boy,especially from a family that love children and do not like their children growing outside home,my parent's urged me to bring the child home. My ex, is married now. We just grew apart.

I thought being a single dad ,that i will easily find a wife since they are not hated as single mom but I guess things are changing & all single parents are now getting to feel the brunt of it all as all the girls I have discussed marriage with keep hinting and telling me that my daughter would not live with us if we get married. Some have ghosted me even when I was been honest with them.


It is really crazy. Most men will run from responsibility but I did the right thing,became a real man and here is what I get?

I am 32,with a flat of three rooms and I earn well with the prospect of venturing into side business. In fact I am doing well for myself and can comfortably take care of my daughter, a wife and the kids that would come from my marriage. So what is the problem?
I am good looking and fit as well(registered in a gym class) so what is the problem here?

My daughter is twelve,she can bathe herself and do house chores and is well behaved. So how is she a burden? If she were a baby or toddler needing motherly attention then it will be justifiable that they don't want her to live with us(in that case I would have hired a nanny for that).

My baby mama isn't in the picture at all, she is focusing on her marriage, so what is the problem?



These ladies dont give me any tangible reason ,aside the usual "if I were a single mom will you allow me to bring my own kid to our matrimonial house?". Is it now a thing of revenge?

The last heartbreak was painful. This Lady literally bonded with my daughter.plaited my daughter hair, assisted me in school runs ,in fact on several occasions I dropped my daughter off at her place when I went for business trip and my daughter called her "mother" only for her to bring up the issue of my daughter not living with us should we get married. Her reason was that they may be sibling rivalry between the kids and the rest. I was really shattered for my daughter sake because my daughter was already attached to her.
Since then I swore never to introduce any woman to my daughter in order to protect her from rejection.

Single parents in the house that got hitched please show me the way.

Insults are welcome but please include advice after the insult.

Mods (mynd44, farano,rocktation) abeg move to the front page.

PS: Some dolts who were dropped on their head as babies are already throwing insults.
But let me add the following,
1.this women I meet are good women and are not the hypergamous girls after my money(they are not demanding and giving is mutual). They are decent girls from god fearing families,as I don't wink at subpar women. They only issue here is their insistence that my daughter would not be brought to the matrimonial home.

2.comments are welcome from single parents who are now successfully married with their kids living with them,and wise monikers(as mentioned above). If you want to chip in advice, do so.if you have insults to give, that is fine,but please include an advice as well else I would report you for an instant ban.Don't spam the comment section.please
I feel your pain, but what you need is a very matured lady or woman who is really ready to settle down for marriage and it's challengings

Look for women who are on the 30s, they are hardly naughty

Any woman that doesn't want you to bring in your child, has an agenda

Keep searching but not with women below 30yrs

You dont need a learner
You need an experience and matured woman

My wife says– No family planning, No sex.
for the past four months, my wife has been mounting series of pressures on me concerning family planning and I kept on ignoring her, but these past weeks, she has shown me what shege really looks like.

Up to three weeks, my wife has denied me access to her sacred part, insisting on her "No family planning, No sex" rule, anytime a tried to make love to her.

I've Three(3) beautiful Angels with her and my last child clocked 4 Years old. She said, she's not ready for another child despite our last child who's our only daughter being 4yrs old and my second son is 6, while my eldest child is 10years( that's 4 years gap). she said she's done with giving birth.

I got the shock of my life this night, that she asked me to go and get c*ndoms, if I want to have my way to her sacred part or otherwise we visit the doctor for counseling or do the family planning, reason why I picked up my phone to write this. I'm fed up because I don't subscribe to this idea of family planning or anything related to it, due to it's several after effects.

But it seems like she's winning, but either ways, I would sincerely like to see some opinions from here before going to see the doctor whether to give in to her request or not.

Women bear children and they know the capacity of children they can carry

It comes with some factors

If she is a working class woman, then sje has lots of stress on her and she is feeling that she can't carry another pregnancy couple with the daily stress she goes through

If she is a business woman or trader, she has decided that she can't be over hustling not even with another pregnancy

If she is the bread winner, she has lots of bills on her including the children school fees and since it's her alone, she can't go beyond three because she knows what she goes through to put them in school

If she is of a certain age, her body may not carry a successful pregnancy and that may lead to miscarriage and the rest

Then if she is a seat at home mother,
She does nothing but to look aft the children while you toil the soil to feed them and pays the bills without out her contributions

Meaning that you really want more children and can afford to pay their fees and the rest bills, probably she needs a break and may return back to child bearing

The buttom line is for you to seat her down and discuss with her and know her reasons

Whatever it is that is her reasons you think about it

If her reasons doesn't make sense to you

You can start another family, na you go dey suffer am

What kind of lessons do you think you want to teach that particular tribe that you are afraid of

They trade, make money that will sustain them incase that place is closed for a year

They plan themselves very well that's why they don't get broke

You will hardly see a nuisance from that tribe lazing about

They have targets that they aim to get and when they get it, they use it to develop your village

Any country that you can't find that tribe, don't have a viable economy

Please married women what is the cause because right now, I am experiencing this in my house even though my marriage is not up to 2 years
Stress factor

Economic factor that affects her state of emotions

Child bearing and nursing

Family and work pressure

Lack of attitude and attention from the husband

Lack of show of love
