Noiler is what autocorrect changed to boiler. They are not reliable for that. Some do. Some don't and those that do can just abandon halfway.

ok. thnk you for your clear response

safarifarms:
You can reach me. No problem.

I'm a farmer and have personal experience with some of these birds and also hear from other farmers.

Most of these birds (so called Agric birds) have been bred to loose broodiness so that they lay more eggs. So Boiler is not reliable for sitting on eggs. Yes some will sit and hatch but there are cases of them abandoning the eggs midway. I used to use local chickens to hatch their eggs.

Noiler birds can scavenge for food like local chickens. But if you are not supplementing they will take longer to attain their full weight and may not even attain if the environment doesn't have sufficient food. If scavenging look at around a year to reach full potential. But if well fed, they arrive at about 6 months giving around 4 - 4.5kg for male and 2.5kg for females. I once a female that wasn't laying and it reached 4.2kg, my highest male was 3.9kg

Ok thank you for the opportunity. But do noilers cover their eggs?

JuanDeDios:
There are. They're not spread across the delta, so you won't find them in all the states. But if you have friends from Akwa Ibom, you can ask them and they'll tell you first-hand stories about hippos. Hippos in the delta are endangered so there are few of them left.

I hope you are not making reference to manatee or dugong

safarifarms:
They are still very much available. The day old are sold as black cockerel but I think its usually the males only that are sold. I think the reasons they are no longer as popular or common again are:

1. Cost: Because of the general cost of things, most people can't afford to by them anymore. The people that used to make them popular were those that brooded them and go about from street to street and local markets to sale them. They are expensive as day old chicks (last I remember is around N400 to N500 each) and feed is also expensive. After brooding for 3 weeks the cost is so high that its difficult to sell. If you do have them and feed them well, you can have 4kg meat when mature.

2. Alternatives: There are two alternatives that have moved the demand for these birds.

I. White cockerel: These ones are cheaper as day old chicks (around N70 to N100 and sometimes of poor demand it can go for N20). So the brood and retail people use this one instead. But these birds would not grow to be nearly as weighty as the black ones. I hate them. They consume almost same amount of feed to produce less meat (about 1.5 to 2kg).

ii. Noiler: These ones cost about the same as the black cockerel and mostly a little more expensive but they are preferred because they come in equal number of both sexes. The males will give you about same if not actually more meat (4 - 4.5kg) which is better than the black cockerel, while the females (with little less meat - 2.5kg) will give you eggs. They can lay about 150 eggs per year when well fed.

III. Broilers: When you consider cost of feed, you'll see that broiler is much more worth it if you are caging or having to provide 100% feed. They mature faster to give better weight of meat with less feed.

Quite informative and interesting. Thank you for this clear explanation. You seems to have a lot of knowledge. I will try and reach you later if it's ok by you
Can noilers brood and hatch eggs?
Can they roam free exclusively for their feeding? I fit no too dey around to look them.
Lastly how many months does it take a noiler to mature for personal consumption?


Back to topic. It's been long I saw this fowl. The last time I remembered clearly was when my dad bought a couple of grown ones for Christmas. My younger siblings nicknamed the last one jolorjolor. Don't remember their reason for doing so

JuanDeDios:
Yes. They're in plenty the Middle Belt. Niger Delta too.

Niger delta? I don't think so but I heard there are few in the north/ middle bet

Unless you want to be aggressively imperialistic, I don't see the need for an aircraft carrier. Moreover, powerful nations won't need an aircraft carrier in the event of a war in the future.

You will definitely need a carrier if you are interested in maintaining any level of air presence. How do you fight an enemy that is far away? Jet fighters are not designed to fly for too long. Even if they can refuel mid flight, it leaves them exposed to enemy radar system and interceptors.
Why do you think the US need carriers? How do you plan to effectively fight far away from home ( middle east) if you don't have a platform where your air assets can land and take off for sorties? Not all countries will allow you to station your men and equipment on their soil like South Korea is doing for the USA. You need carriers to be a global power

It's not a Gaboon viper but a common snake within Nigeria. Different people have uploaded this snake specie on nairaland but I can't remember the specific name.

It is venomous yes.

It's a viper specie. Quite deadly though

Xristars:
Mehn! That looks like a garbon viper, very venomous and deadly

No that's not the gaboon viper but it's a viper specie nonetheless

johnson4nosa:
Please NL what is the name of this snake I killed in my compound, I'm being disturbed if it's a dangerous snake

That's a viper specie. Very deadly.

he doesn't have any nonsense right to give after he enjoyed the sacrifices did for him and enjoyed the traditional entitlement he now realised that the foreign Religion is better than his culture he enjoyed to the fullest . The throne of king is not voted, not mixed purely traditional . I he knew he could not give them what they want why staying ,dinned and enjoyed the one he portray as bad and later thing his opinions and wishes is superior to the post he headed .

Well that is how you view it but truth be told, the court will honour the wishes of a dying man ( will).

This is a lost cause. If the late monarch left instructions on how he should be buried, nothing anyone can do about it.

2cribz:
The NA should be slammed,insulted and slammed to court and fined 10billion naira for damages.
It is not the duty of the NA to arrest suspected Internet fraudsters,no where under the Nigerian constitution was the NA given the privilege to impersonate the anti graft agency In rounding up cyber criminals. No legal backing.Infact see them in court.
What nonsense

Have you heard of citizen arrest? I can arrest you by myself if I see you committing a crime but the next thing is that I must hand you over to the police. So if I, an ordinary citizen can carry out an arrest, a security agency can but must be handed over the appropriate authority

jericco1:
it is worth it if you ask me as the country will definitely benefit

Sometimes you people don't understand how these things work. No matter how much you spend, once you have insecurity challenge, you money will amount to nothing. Investors and tourists alike are looking for stable economy, safe environment etc. They have as much information on your nation as you do.
That's why I laugh when I hear Nigerian government officials say they are going to look for foreign investors by junketing all over the world. The people you are going to beg to come and invest knows so much about your own country

NEVER OPERATED POPULAR HOTEL would have been more appropriate. I'm over 50. That structure had been there for more than 3 decades if not more

Is it not owned by someone? Doesn't the owner have kids? I really don't know the story behind the hotel but I'm wondering what right the government have in demolishing someone else's property

Is this the handiwork of Alex reporters?

Why is the guy looking like rick Ross in the 3rd picture?
Kudos to him. I like seeing young business men thriving

Reflect7:
Igbos need to stop this nonsense.

This whole idea of going to another man’s land and declaring yourself a king is just not on.

Why antagonise your hosts?

This is not Igbo tradition.

Try ask around before you hurt yourself.
He never said he was King in Ghana. He is simply the leader of igbo people in Ghana, not leader or king of Ghanians.
Even Fulanis have their sarkins and so do a host of other tribes. They .may not be as flamboyant as the Igbos but it's all the same. The hatred for Igbos in this country is alarming! People no go fit enjoy Their lives again?!

telim:
Who are the scholars? Nigerian phd and msc students is what you called scholars?

Those people that build the tools were not Nigerians. Alot of our msc,phd and proffs are usesless to themself, their family and to Nigerian as a country.

Nigerian as a country as unlimited problems we need brains that solve problems not those that seek employment.

The job seekers in question should hire a good lawyer and sue peller for the mockery maybe they might get some millions from him.

You just display your ignorance online. Are you aware that there are tons of Nigerians scholars who are outside the country plying their trade respectfully.

I am saying they are not getting what was quoted in the budget, not that they are not getting funds.

You can only judge them by thier expenditure not by what was budgetted

So what you should be asking for is expenditure in that fiscal year.
So if 250 million was budgetted for and only 100 million was expended, we should be auditing the expended 100 million not the budgetted 250 million.
So yes money was spent, but it is wrong to judge efficiency of that organisation on budget not expenditure.

What ever was received would have been able to revamp the hospital to global standards. I can bet my left hairy ball on this. There is no commitment to fix this things. No explanation will suffice pls

Proudlyngwa:
That is what am trying to make you understand, it is budgetted based on expected income, if the income is not achieved it can not be executed.
The same thing you are expecting for health, someone else is expecting for education, another person is expecting for security, another person for infrastructure, so which one should be done and which one should be excused, putting into perspective limited income.
So the question is not why is it not done, because there is no money for it.

The real question should be how can people be made to understand this limitations , remove biasedness and look for actual working solutions.

This i say because most people will have inherited anger because the keep on seeing bogus amounts being awarded for the same thing year in year out.

Please help me answer this question first. Does the hospital get any money at all or not? Are you saying they never received a dime in all of these years

Proudlyngwa:
Budget in national context does not mean it is what will be spent, it only means earmarked.

Lets say i pan on making 100 million this year, i budget buying a car, building a house and marrying my second wife, if i dont make that 100 million will i achieve all that, Next year i will adjust my budget based on expectation.

This is different from reoccurring expenditure.

So all those numbers you are seeing there are just amounts earmarked based on an expected benchmark, not what was spent.

It's no different from what I have in mind.
But truth of the matter is that even if the hospital don't receive all that money they budgeted, at least it gets a sizable chunk of that fund each year. Why not fix the damnn hospital and the health care sector by extension? If you want to go outside for treatment as a president due to security reasons, no problem, but fix these facilities so that Nigerians can get quality service then you can go and die in your London clinic, no problem. The other time Aisha was complaining about the state of the said hospital. let's not keep making excuses for these demons.
