Alphafarms: Greetings to everyone from @Alpha fisheries & farm services, like we are known here to be fish farmers (catfish & tilapia) respectively.
Lately, people are accusing me of abandoning catfish for tilapia farming, but I beg to disagree on this, both have their strength and weakness, and we are still farming catfish since inception and we will continue, no matter the status of the economy.
Back to the topic at hand, how can one still be in business of farming catfish in this current economy of ours? before now, most of the farms I supply catfish seeds to have shutdown, or planning to shutdown activities, due to high running cost. Eg fueling feeding, drugs etc.
I tell people in fish farming business today, that I have engaged more hands in my farm, added more ponds, expand my hatchery, got an operational mini bus etc all in this current economy.
I will be sharing my ideas here for free, for people not to give up on farming fish and for newbie who wants to take fish farming as their business, they say desperate times requires desperate measures, below are some the measures we took to revived our catfish farm business
1. We changed our marketing strategies:- dear fish farmers in the building, how will you suffer to raise catfish to table size, only for you to call those middle men and women to come give you peanut and take away your sweat? And at the end, these middle men and women will retail those fish and make a fortune on your sweat. Why not retail them yourself and make your money. For details on how to go on this, let's discuss further.
2. We improved on our hatchery seedlings:- you can't sow a wrong seed and expect to reap well, this is as easy as A B C, we invest heavily on knowledge, that was why we went to Thailand & greece to see what they are doing right over there, we are galad we added this technology to our knowledge of hatching here.
3. We are taking advantage of the naira to dollar wahala:- we went for a search for selling our smoked dry catfish to europe and the uk, we got a link for that, and we are keying in to it, our target customers are Nigerians over there, they must cook our native soups that for sure, so we are filling the gap on that and earning in foreign currency.
4. Attaching your fish farm with other related business:- have you ordered for a pizza of 5 to 6k, and it was delivered to you in your office, home, hangout spot etc? My wife grilled some table size catfish in the comfort of our house, and has 2 delivery bike men that delivers in and around the estate or vicinity. Believe me she makes millions from that side hustle of hers, a drlled big fish can go as 7 to 8k, and she gets nothing less than 10 to 15 orders per day, by weekends the order doubles, now do your math
5. Go earthen pond way:- the cost of pumping water to concrete ponds or traupolin is draining, due to the current cost of petrol or diesel, I will advise anybody that wants to venture into fish farming, to have a swampy area and prepare your farm there to save cost of buying fuel on a daily basis, what you need to do there is to make sure there's security 24/7.
In conclusion, every business is facing some challenges, fish farmers are not left out, you need to think out of the box to sustain your business.

deborah was killed 2022 according to what gentle d yahoo said he killed those guys cuz they use the weapons gave to them to fight the Nigeria forces for robbery and they’re his men now my question is was Deborah killed by Muslims or not did the community leaders condemn or arrest his killers yes or no?are they all arrested till today?why did Deborah get killed by those useless Islamist?answer my questions asap have gave answers to urs I’m waiting
those people saying there’s no killing of Christian in 🇳🇬 what about Deborah Samuel that was burnt to death and alot that was Štøńę to death abi we dey 4get something so easily
She will be billed just as you will be billed for a paramedic ambulance trip to the hospital which ranges between $500 to as high as $2,500 depending on the county.
Even in a road accident , you will be billed the cost of moving your vehicle and any sanitation carried on the road from removing car debris. If you destroy public utilities in the accident, you will be billed and no insurance will cover that.
You think America is land of the brave and free?
Its more like land of the work slave and the fee.
even though they pay heavy bills at least they see what they’re money use for not like outright leaders here share d money among themselves
jaxxy: The US doesn't intervene until its absolutely necessary and yes I support them intervening when the people are helpless under corrupt and criminal leaders who manipulate the systems and capture the state and think they are like god.
u will be humbled.
why can’t the US intervene to Nigeria at least 100 people die weekly from bandits terrorist kidnapper here in Nigeria and d government never do anything about so what’s d difference
Putinofrussia: Those people are gala hawkers from SE. They always come all the way from their region to beg for alms in the SW.
no come dey talk nonsense for here I’m not from SE and I also live in ogun state all those touts and egbon dem dey tax person pass tax collectors me wey never chop sef I dey dodge some streets here i they think I was like b4 when I get small change
see sane country I pity people wey dey compare Nigeria to those advance country whenever they is crime in this sane country they start to compare Nigeria to them look at how security work a lot of people have been killed so many yrs nw till now they never caught some of they’re killers and u want me to believe Nigeria will be great what d way d country is
dominique: Trump and other republicans that are pushing this Christian genocide propaganda should grant refuge to Nigerian Christians the way he did for white south Africans. Oh I forgot! They don't give a rat's ass about black Africans! I'd be very worried if somebody that never rated me suddenly starts acting like they're concerned about me but as usual Nigerian Christians are too dumb to see through this sham. These people have a mission, they use heavy propaganda to give a reason to invade a country. Once they do so, even the Christians they're pretending to care about will also be at the recieving end. Go and ask the other countries they invaded to bring "peace" to.
oga e don do abeg yes I know whites don’t rate we blacks at all they’re d one that makes us be this way but what happen since independent what did we benefit as a Nigerian citizen I don’t care if they coming to take our oil since we gain independent what good have the oil money do to we Nigerians at least South Africa is one of d best Africa country and that’s because they’re whites folks there maybe if they come to us now Nigeria we be among d best Africa country
courage89: All these negative, fabricated stories needs to be repudiated by all Nigerians. When their true goals, objectives begin to manifest, it’s not only the north, or Muslim that will feel the impact, it’s the whole Nigeria. Christians, children, elderly, Igbo, Yoruba… pretty much everybody.
American politicians are drumming the war of sanctions that will cripple Nigerians again: cause chaos in the country to destabilize and paralyze our economic activities, create high inflationary environment leading to unending devaluation and increase poverty in the land.
They want to create chaos in the land, similar to what’s going in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), for them to have unfettered access to our natural resources, rare earth metals.
This is where all Nigerians needs to come together in respective of political affiliation, religion and tribal affiliation and push back on this false narrative.
I think if d government do d right thing we Nigerians at least 70% Nigerians we tell them we don’t want them but d country condition is worse right now bandit terrorist kidnapper everywhere not to talk of economy
Saturnalia: You mean iPOB and UGM ? Well, the security forces are ready too.
We have learned our lessons from the End Sars protest and will never allow proscribed Terrorist Organization from infiltrating any protests in our region again.
Any bitter non-indigene that wants to protest must do so in their own region.
enough of this nonsense tribalism shit I think we practice democracy in 🇳🇬 as long as you’re a Nigerian u can protest anywhere you’re and is it only d igbos that do d protest why can’t d police make sure the protest is peaceful arrest anyone that try to do anything funny on d protest day e je kan ma rora
jaxxy: But it is morally right for the dictator to kills and oppress his own citizens?
if its by morality the US has enough reasons to have invaded many years ago.
Like we charged Abacha to court? LOL
After the invasion he will definitely be charged to court if alive.
i love US but I just hate it when they interfere to another country that’s thousands miles away from them why can’t the people vote the president out or plot a coup against him is he powerful than the people
jaxxy: There is a history behind it This is not the 1st time this discussion has been had. its close or more than a decade of issues and discussions and mist of it was initiated by Venezuelans asking the US to intervene.
then why can’t they charge him to court instead of doing this is that d democracy they stand for
jaxxy: Maduro thinks being president of Venezuela by force is his birth right.
u rule like a dictator and won't conduct free and fair elections and oppressing ur people.
if the US can help us do this in Africa especially west Africa e for sweet me maybe they don’t care about us we black Africas or they is something behind it
advanceDNA: Anybody meeting their "original" partner after getting married to someone else is just greedy ..their eyes is still in the street...
..u will.meet many more fine pple after u get married......face ur marriage...... Na because u never start to dey live with them they look like the best spouse
I agree with u 💯 but some people change after they get married or being in a relationship either the man or d woman maybe d man treat d woman bad like man beater or irresponsible if that kind of woman later met a man that cherished and treat her good if that kind woman later be in a relationship with him I don’t think that’s cheating but as long as the first man love her wholeheartedly and she met another man that also love her and accept him that’s cheating
franvincoop: Your proposal is good but not good enough. It's very very easy for a scammer wey scam na im 24hr job to provide all this information and still carry money waka. If you like add ID card and passport, it's still easy. Based on the level of Tinubulation, I go Sabongari now with 20k, and obtain all you required for from 20 different people.
Oga, if you are serious to minimise scam, look towards the creation of an escrow, same like Paypal which will hold the buyers money until delivery, confirmation of quality and quantity is done by the Buyer before funds are released to Seller. This way, you will eliminate 100% all fake sellers but you will be dealing with fake buyers now. Buyers who will receive product and complain and request for refunds. To eliminate the fake buyers, we need talk am in private cuz the left hand should not know what the right hand is doing. If u drop whatsapp, I go give u more info.
The escrow to create does not necessarily need to be a website or an app. But a simple nairaland page, with some trustworthy nairalanders you know acting as escrow agents, whose accounts will be used to receive payments from buyers and sending of payments to sellers after delivery and confirmation. Even 1% fee no be small money. PS: I am not trustworthy when it comes to money but try me when it comes to advice. Good evening
u right 💯 bro I just laugh as I read that what my guy will do on his laptop within 2 hours unless they do it the way u said
