Afrocatalyst:
Every snail becomes sexually active from 6months. They then mate with their kind. This can happen at the same sixth month,depending on how good the environment is. Some have the opportunity to mate later than others.

Mating can last up to 12hours. During this exercise,the two snails involved exchange semen and fertilize each other. (Hope you know each snail is a haemophrodite?).

After the whole exercise egglaying starts. And the good thing about them is that one mating can serve them for as long as 4years. They are very good sperm storers. They lay once every two months with the right environment. In snail farming,environment is everything.

When you say environment, what do you mean exactly. Is it the soil composition or absence of noise and disturbance.

Afrocatalyst:
I didn't. The owner suggested that (which is OK).
That's the normal mosquito net you know.

OK. But like how much is the net roofing in the picture worth?

Afrocatalyst:
No it won't. It should be done outside the perimeter itself. How many will what contain?




Shelter.

Please, what material did you use for the roof?

Where else can I get to rub minds with brilliant people, funny people and learn new concepts in business or get information about Nigeria as it is happening?

Please Mr AgrotConsult, I am about to start a poultry farm in Owerri. My problem/bottleneck is disposal of the birds. What strategy can I use to dispose 2,000 birds every two months. What market should I target: fast foods, hotels. Please I need your experienced input.

Do you deliver to Owerri?

After I received the news of my wife having quadruplets, I skiibiied.

Cool. I'm not one for having a celebrity role model, but I'll say this guy is one good celebrity representing Nigeria.

They look confused

OP, source and year pls...

Totally horrible.

Another mad Owerrian on the loose. #I'mFromOwerri sha

Counterers, I hail thee...

INTROVERT:
HBD.

Nice 1 op.

Come o, how do you do it? I mean comment first. I need to learn some tricks from you.

First Lady Michelle Obama pictured
with her mother Mariana Robinson
Last night, Michelle Obama flew into
Stansted on a solo visit to Europe,
while her husband stayed in
Washington. Eagle-eyed viewers
might have noticed that her arrival at
London’s least glamorous airport was
not entirely solitary.
The First Lady! was accompanied by
her daughters, Malia, 16, and Sasha,
13 – and her mother.
Marian Robinson has no official job
title, but in Washington she is
referred to as Grandmother-in-
Chief, or First Grandmother of the
United
States (FGOTUS, pronounced fuh-
GOH-tus – a riff on POTUS, which is
shorthand for her son-in-law’s
position as President of the United
States). They may be jocular, but
these nicknames hint at Mrs
Robinson’s significant influence
within the First Family. She is not
just along for the ride; she is very
much a key part of the Obama
entourage.
“Michelle calls Marian Robinson her
‘rock’. She is steady, she is strong,”
says Peter Slevin, whose biography
Michelle Obama: A Life, came out a.
few weeks ago. “She has opinions,
but she is very grounded in the real
world,” he told the Telegraph
yesterday.
A sign of her importance is where
she lives. Namely, one floor above
Barack and Michelle Obama. While

family live on the second floor of
the Residency of the White House,
