I need some clarifications. The cost of setting up the farm to harvest is 420k/acre. I want to assume that this amount covers for up to the 1st harvest. Does that mean that you will hand over the farm to the investor since there will be subsequent spendings after the 1st harvest? You charge 20% of after-sale profit. That implies after 420k is deducted from the total sale for the first harvest/ year, you will charge your 20% on the remaining. what happens in the subsequent years? Explain your charges and the farm management after the first harvest

jam04:
That was an old system. We started new management and financial system early this year. Now we have months where payout is more than 120,000 weekly and some where payout is less than 120,000. In all, we handle repairs and maintenance

Does that implies there is no more fixed income? I read about deduction of 25% from monthly income for some months for maintenance ? Is it from a particular fixed income? What is the amount if there is?

[quote author=jam04 post=36668376][/quote]I thought I read somewhere in your thread that 14tires or more is now 120k weekly

Scrypt:
2 - [1 - (1 - [2 - 3] - 2) + 3]

= 2 - 3 = - 1

= 1 + 1 - 2 = 0

= 1 - 0 + 3

= 2 - 4

= - 2

Start from the innermost bracket, bodmas.

From the point of 1 - 0 +3 above, applying BODMAS, we'll have to solve the 0 plus 3 part first which gives 1 - 3=-2. Inserting the 2- outside the bracket gives 2-(-2) =4. My answer is 4. @OP, come solve the thing abeg

You have no idea of politics. It is not as simple as you think. Winning one man can actually at times imply winning 30million votes

Base on observations and investigation, I realized that Chelsea fans are among the most responsible set of people you can find anywhere in the world compared to other fans who most times behave like touts.

Nee you are wrong! Gather 1000 "agberos", okada riders, "garage people" that watch football matches, 950 of them would be chelsea fans

Thank you sir. Meanwhile, I opened the account last year and when I noticed the problem, I abandoned it until two days ago when I discovered that the problem still persists. I immediately opened another one which has similar problem. Sir for average of how many days/weeks/months from your experience do you think it would normalise sir?

Please I have problem with my perfect money account. Anytime I login, I would be automatically log out within a second. I changed browser, clear cookies, opened another account, went to a cyber cafe but problem persists. Has anyone experience this problem before? What could be responsible? Thanks.

OP,the keywords are in black and its only one professional who does all three.

I was about to ask the OP the name of the dictionary where he saw nursing as being medicine. When you go to the university to study medicine, you are awarded bachelor in medicine and bachelor in surgery MBBS. When you study nursing, you are awarded bachelor in nursing. How then is nursing same as medicine. It is only in Nigeria that someone wake up in the morning, think out a thrash, then comes to nairaland and start posting that "why can't we change our country from that way to this way because my brain tells me it would be beautiful if it appears this way"

bushdoc9919: I still stand by my comment....the AK is the best rifle that you can get at a low price.

After all.,the Vietnamese drove out the USA from Vietnam in the70's with AK's.!

What is needed in the NE is a change in tactics.

Of course they also need new weapons.

Seriously? And you think they can still drive USA out today with same AK47 they used about 40years ago? Common man, use your brain No one is disputing the fact that AK is a good weapon but technology has advanced beyond AK47 and it continues to advance everyday. That advanced technology atleast beyond AK47 is what BH is using and you are saying these guys should face them with AK47?

YorubaJesus: I agree the family won't accept her as their daughter or son if there isn't a traditional rite or marriage but you see a couple is made up of two people. When other peoples opinions come into the relationship, trouble comes. If two people choose not to get married then so be it. But in developed countries, they have live in partners, legal partners etc. Marriage is not a necessity.

Bro in Nigeria, nothing is legal here. If the family do not accept bride price from you and/ or give you or your pastor their daughter, no sane pastor in Nigeria would continue with the wedding. They will always ask for the man that gave the lady out in marriage. The family would also have to sign the certificate in the court for you to have it. If you are living with a lady without fulfilling that, you are not married and your being together is not legal. If something bad happens to her, omo na big trouble be that o.

Gabygaby: --------------------------------------------------- You are confused and at the same time contradicting yourself,from your statement you does not regard wedding in the church and you said you are a christian. at the other hand you couldn't declare the one you fully support,in that case you are waiting for majority vote,negative or positive. This is a complete sign that someone is not groom into the spiritual guidelines of the church of which he/she claimed to be a member and this rampant among christian. NOW LET ME EXPLAIN IT TO YOU MAYBE IT WILL BE OF HELP IF REALLY YOU ARE NOT A HYPOCHRIST. Firstly ,Traditional marriage is a perfect spiritual arrangement on her own which will attract both physical and spiritual blessings from both parents of the new couple. secondly,church wedding is a sacrament (For we Catholics,it is the Sacrament of Marriage, or Holy Matrimony, is a public sign that one gives oneself totally to this other person. It is also a public statement about God: the loving union of husband and wife speaks of family values and also God's values.) this can be done in the church or any where considered to be sacred. NOW why is it done in the church? Just like baptism,(for we Catholics,the Sacrament of Baptism is the first step in a lifelong journey of commitment and discipleship. Whether we are baptized as infants or adults, Baptism is the Church's way of celebrating and enacting the embrace of God.) IT IS A TOTAL INITIATION INTO CHRISTENDOM which in theology means (the collective body of Christians throughout the world or throughout history) The issue here is if you are initiated or baptized in christian church you are obliged to obey the rules of initiation or you end up being mess up in life.so in the case of marriage you must wed in the church or as permited by the leaders of the church. failure to do that will amount to disobedient ,and the same Bible tell us christian that obedient is better than sacrifice. And if I may ask, is double or triple blessing a bad thing? if not why do people purposely fight the church unreasonably? Finally the two ceremonies have their great advantage and if you are a christian you are strongly advice to do the two completely so as to get the blessings from both and as well fulfill your obligation as a christian,God bless you as you do.

Is that the law of your church or that of the bible? Tell me about one couple that were joined by any priest, Jesus or any apostle in the bible. Don't mention the marriage at cana of Galilee because Jesus was a guess at that wedding. He didn't joined them and it was not done in the synagogue. What is your source of couples being joined or initiated into something? Is that a biblical teaching?

19naia: Everybody knows it has no cure and the disease cannot be treated.. They will just be isolated until they die and being in Nigeria, its normal to fear for your life when people come looking for you because they fear you spread death on contact..
Also Nigerians don't like to face bad news, they say a prayer and tell themselves only what they want to believe even when the bitter truth is sitting on their face.. So they may also be running from the diagnosis for fear it will be bad news.. In Guinea, there are villages running from health care workers and forbidding the health workers from entering their village because they believe the health workers brought the disease from the very beginning..
If they run for over a week with no symptoms, then they are justified because nigerian quarantine authorities would do something stupid like quarantine all ebola suspects in the same facility to share same toilet and bath and everything.. That will keep the outside society safer, but it will allow the one suspect who was the only one with Ebola, to infect the rest of the non infected suspects in quarantine.. after this, the officials in charge of quarantine can just tell the world that the ebola suspects were all infected and congratulate themselves for saving the public.. Never underestimate the incompetence or simple unwillingness of Nigerian authorities to not blunder even the best of intentions and as a result, cost innocent people their lives..
If they have the well being and strength to run, then thats a good sign of good health, they best protect themselves from the mental illness of the delusional do-gooder authorities trying to save them or society as a whole...

I have been scrolling to see if someone could think about it this way rather than being selfish. 1million likes

donnypool: People at risk of getting the infections are people that stay/work closely with the victims. All the rest of us need to do is avoid many things for now

Avoid contact with any body sweating
Use gloves to open public doors to avoid contact with sweaty hands of other people
Stay clear and report any sick person.
Keep surrounding clean and tidy.

The disease kills faster but the mode of transmission is relatively low unless you work/stay with the victims.

Good one there but unfortunately you don't know who an infectious victim is. One could sit beside him in a bus, sit on the spot he just stood up, collect from him a naira note he has been keeping in the pocket or some other materials that are exchanged daily , buy bread and some other materials he just helped in packing where he is working, collect money from an ATM he just loaded, buy some foodstuff from him in the market which he measures with hands etc. The best way of controlling this disease is by ensuring that those "suspects" are strictly monitored otherwise.....God save Nigeria!

Walphem: some people criticizing the pix has mediocre or something terrible... why don't you make some effort also use your smartphone(s) and take some pix and also put it online.

It is because some are born to criticise and will die doing same. They never leave same spot. The best bet is to ignore them. Simple!

GenOrumov: All what you have said only shows ignorance and not wisdom. Our fore fathers died from all sorts of diseases because there was no western medicine for early detection and treatment. Let me give you an example: in the case of "Abiku". There is nothing like abiku, its those that had sickle cell that were always prone to illness and were very likely to die at a young age. Do you think people just sleep and don't wake up the next day? No! A medical condition (cancer, sickle cell, hypertension, aids e.t.c) which was long undetected must have triggered it. God that gave us the knowledge to mix up herbs for our health also gave the whites the knowledge to make ground breaking breakthroughs in western medicine. If anyone you know has AIDS or cancer, advise them to take only herbs and not western medicine and watch them die an avoidable and early death.

twosquare: GOD spake to me one afternoon i was washing dishes....like a voice speaking to my inner man&ears....it was so distinct and i was like,what just happened...just like any other voice,wants me to carry out an assignment.....i wanted to doubt but i couldn't,coz it was like a burning fire.
Evening came....praying alone and He spake via my mouth,the atmosphere was electrifying.....GOD speaking to folks is not a strange thing....

What was the assignment the voice asked you to carry out? Could you share?

thegoodone2: it started when i was 12 years.then i can say am d boy who see tomr.when i was 18 years i started hear voice. now my wife said i belong to ........or may be my father has give me something when i was small. if i tell her anything it always come to pass. some time it come through dream and voice.

Be careful when you link the voice of God to a voice you hear. You may truly be hearing the voice of God but I'll advice you to see a senior pastor or consult a christian doctor to be absolutely of what you are hearing. A lot of people who hear a voice tend to jump into jubilation claiming they can hear God's voice whereas they are on the verge to ruin their lives? Have you heard of auditory hallucinations before. It is one of the symptoms of schizophrenia or other neuropsychiatric disorders. They hear clear voices of man/men speaking to them. Some have visual hallucinations. It could manifest in different forms. I have seen many cases of such in the past. Some people are aware from outset that the hallucinations are symptoms of some conditions whereas many don't accept the fact that something is wrong.

My advice, don't just jump into jubilation for hearing a voice claiming it is God's voice. You might need a guidance from a spiritual father

tbaba1234: You missed the verse before:

Fight in God’s cause against those who fight you, but do not overstep the limits:c God does not love those who overstep the limits. (2:190)

A little education will be appropriate here.

The word 'Qitaal' translated as fight refers to mutual combat, I.e War.

Meaning people who are also fighting you.

The original context of revelation is actual war situation.

We are to deal justly and kindly with those who have done nothing to harm us: Allah says

"Allah forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you not for your faith, nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them: For Allah loves those who are just" (60:

We are to deal justly and kindly with those that have not harmed us in any way...

So wars do happen, don't they? ... What are the rules of conflict for the muslim?

Narrated By 'Abdullah : During some of the Ghazawat of the Prophet a woman was found killed. Allah's Apostle disapproved the killing of women and children. (Saheeh Muslim Book 019, Hadith Number 4319).

Then Abu Bakr, the first caliph based on the prophetic teaching advised a military commander, Yazid, "I advise you ten things| Do not kill women or children or an aged, infirm person. Do not cut down fruit-bearing trees. Do not destroy an inhabited place. Do not slaughter sheep or camels except for food. Do not burn bees and do not scatter them. Do not steal from the booty, and do not be cowardly." Maliks Muwatta Book 021, Hadith Number 010.

Thanks for the explanation. Meanwhile, those are the words of some Allah's prophets before or after war. But are those actually the words of allah? Besides, you can't use the context of war front to explain all the verses I quoted. Many of the verses are straight command to go out and kill the "unbelievers". what about this.

Quran (9:5) - "So when the sacred months have
passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever
you find them, and take them captive and
besiege them and lie in wait for them in every
ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer
and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to
them."

Quran (8:59-60) - "And let not those who
disbelieve suppose that they can outstrip (Allah's
Purpose). Lo! they cannot escape. Make ready for
them all thou canst of (armed) force and of
horses tethered, that thereby ye may dismay the
enemy of Allah and your enemy."


Quran (9:29) - "Fight those who believe not in
Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden
which hath been forbidden by Allah and His
Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth,
(even if they are) of the People of the Book, until
they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and
feel themselves subdued."

Please explain the verse 29. Who are "the people of the book" above? From my research, they are christians and jews. I stand to be corrected.

Quran (9:73) - "O Prophet! strive hard against the
unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding
to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the
destination."

Dehumanizing those who reject
Islam, by reminding Muslims that unbelievers are
merely firewood for Hell, makes it easier to justify
slaughter. It also explains why today's devout
Muslims have little regard for those outside the
faith.

Explain this one please

Quran (9:123) - "O you who believe! fight those of
the unbelievers who are near to you and let them
find in you hardness."

tbaba1234: Nor kill (or destroy) yourselves: for verily God hath been to you Most Merciful! If any do that in rancor and injustice, soon shall We cast them into the Fire: And easy it is for God. Chapter 4 Verse 29 - 30

Narrated Jundab the Prophet said, "A man was inflicted with wounds and he committed suicide, and so Allah said: My slave has caused death on himself hurriedly, so I forbid Paradise for him." (Bukhari Volume 2, Book 23, Number 445)

Narrated Thabit bin Ad-Dahhak:"And if somebody commits suicide with anything in this world, he will be tortured with that very thing on the Day of Resurrection. (Bukhari Volume 8, Book 73, Number 73)

One of the greatest scholars of this century, from Saudi Arabia

"...So what we hold is that those people who perform these suicide (bombings) have wrongfully committed suicide, and that this necessitates entry into the Hellfire, and Allah's refuge is sought; and that this person is not a shahid (martyr)..."

- Shaykh Muhammad Bin Saalih al-'Uthaymeen, Saudi Arabia

There are actually many verses in the quran that support violence. I am not a muslim but I have read through the quran to find out if there are such verses. Of course a muslim can choose to act or not to act on such verses. As long as those verses exist, violent muslims would continue to exist

Quran (2:191-193) - "And kill them wherever you
find them, and turn them out from where they
have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah [disbelief] is
worse than killing...
but if they desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and
merciful. And fight them until there is no
more Fitnah [disbelief and worshipping of others
along with Allah] and worship is for Allah alone.
But if they cease, let there be no transgression
except against Az-Zalimun (the polytheists, and
wrong-doers, etc.)

Quran (2:244) - "Then fight in the cause of Allah,
and know that Allah Heareth and knoweth all
things."


Quran (2:216) - "Fighting is prescribed for
you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye
dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye
love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah
knoweth, and ye know not."

Quran (3:56) - "As to those who reject faith, I will
punish them with terrible agony in this world and
in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to
help."


Quran (4:74) - "Let those fight in the way of Allah
who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso
fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he
victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast
reward."

Quran (4:89) - "They but wish that ye should
reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same
footing (as they): But take not friends from their
ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From
what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades,
seize them and slay them wherever ye find them;
and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from
their ranks."

Quran (4:95) - "Not equal are those believers who
sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and those who
strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their
goods and their persons. Allah hath granted a
grade higher to those who strive and fight with
their goods and persons than to those who sit (at
home). Unto all (in Faith) Hath Allah promised
good: But those who strive and fight Hath He
distinguished above those who sit (at home) by a
special reward,-"

Quran (4:104) - "And be not weak hearted in
pursuit of the enemy; if you suffer pain, then
surely they (too) suffer pain as you suffer pain..."

Quran (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of
those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their
heads and strike off every fingertip of them"

Quran (8:15) - "O ye who believe! When ye meet
those who disbelieve in battle, turn not your
backs to them. (16)Whoso on that day turneth
his back to them, unless maneuvering for battle
or intent to join a company, he truly hath
incurred wrath from Allah, and his habitation will
be hell, a hapless journey's end."

uran (8:39) - "And fight with them until there is
no more fitna (disorder, unbelief) and religion
should be only for Allah"

Quran (8:59-60) - "And let not those who
disbelieve suppose that they can outstrip (Allah's
Purpose). Lo! they cannot escape. Make ready for
them all thou canst of (armed) force and of
horses tethered, that thereby ye may dismay the
enemy of Allah and your enemy."

Quran (8:65) - "O Prophet, exhort the believers to
fight..."

Quran (9:5) - "So when the sacred months have
passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever
you find them, and take them captive and
besiege them and lie in wait for them in every
ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer
and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to
them."

Quran (9:14) - "Fight them, Allah will punish
them by your hands and bring them to
disgrace..."

.....and MANY MORE

My conclusion: islam as a religion is violent. The choice of a muslim to practice that violent aspect depends on various factors such as education,westernised lifestyle, rational reasoning,environmental influence,emotions etc
