@janefarms, next time don't misinform people. your e book is just an avenue to market your products. it does not carry all necessary info on fish farming. if you want to advertise your products, do so openly.

Our customers numbers and addresses can be given to you if u want or visit our farm, we v bn on ds biz for over 12 years.
How did I mislead you or any other person? I explained all u need to know about fish farming there using recyclulatory systems nd d advantages, all these information can be googled, u can go to where they sell tarpauline in mushin, onitsha, aba or any other place n request for one to be done for you, why not ask ur questions here? I think you should be careful before you raise accusations against anybody, misleading my foot!

lafex:
Tthanks for ur observation.
All I can see in the document are junk pictures

There are no junk pictures there, they re d pictures of ponds installed for people which u can go n inspect and financial guidelines of d biz, its not compulsory u go through me u can do all these yourselve, iv giving enough guidelines, if you want to know more about fish farming, post ur questions here and experts wl answer you on ds forum, did I ask anybody to pay? And I'm I d only one advertising here? It is immature to call projects pictures of others 'junk' wats junk about d pictures? Hv u requested to see the projects physically nd interview the owners?

Call that my chickens are dYing,some said it's heat stress but till today have lost about 25 broilers I seriously need help there stool is watery and the body temperature is too hot infact I can feel it. There suddenly stretch and become paralysed before they die. Anybody with usefull information should pls hlp me.

Firstly, spray their bodies wt cold water, get iced blocks and put in their drinker wt vitamins and antistress, make sure u shield them as much as possible from heat

Attn: for those who doesn't want the mobile tarpaulline ponds, reinforced concrete type with well moulded blocks quotation also available, but much more expensive as we need to use granite or gravel to reinforce each hole of d blocks before laying another one on top, and it must be ratio 6 - 4 - 1, that is, 6 head pan of sand or 8, but 6 recommended, to 4 head pans of granite or gravel to 1 bag of cement, earthen ponds near river not so recommended because of d disadvantages

Invest in fish farming, Agriculture is the new gold mine in Nigeria, I can gv u details if u want

To further clear the air of some raised issue here ,as said earlier we are one big family and colleagues .And there is no power tussle among existing and about to be formed association .
Having said that , i still want to inform my fellow colleagues here to know that , we never in our write up said we are forming a national association that will represent all farmers in nigeria or the so called umbrella body .We are forming a private association that will accommodate all fish farmers all over nigeria .So we all can shear constructive idea ,innovations and prompt and fast execution with , to further increase our business ,better our profits and livelihood at large. it is not must but by choice.
2,There is no time we wrote here that all other associations must join us ,we only advised that, we are ready to work with any sister association in reaching our said goals on time and fast .
3 I dont think there is need to be powerful or know someone in high places to be able to improve on your business or form co-operatives to help ourselves .Personally i believe , with co operation, hard work, honesty and dedication we shall get there.The young shall grow.
4 .We Proposed having zonal co-ordinators in the major fish farming zones of the country, to enable an even and prmpt distribution of the very cheap floating feed, fingerlings and other benefits of the association to members to benefit ,but to me ,i still believe non members can still benefit in all areas.This will be worked out as we progress.
5,No matter how small your fish farm is , it does not matter, Every body is allowed to join irrespective of farm size .ALL benefits will be equal .
Please criticism are allowed but let it be constructive criticism , that will help us improve , grow and successful, Though i still find it difficult to understand how something that has not even started can be criticised with some such bitter wards ....at least let give the benefit of doubt and allow the proposed association to start first then you can be free to criticise the association of its short comings ,because i personally believe that constructive criticism in life help to further improve our potential in life.
And as for track records , you dont need to be 100 years in the business to have track records , quality speaks for itself , Some of us have break grounds in different fields of aquaculture , Some of us have been a member of a team that successfully designed the first almost zero electricity recycle systems used comercially, first of its kind in the world, and we are proud of our achievements . Some of us have been offered mouth watering offers by publishers to come up with books under there company name ,INNOVATIONS IN AQUAPONICS , HYDROPONICS , GELATIN FEEDS ; BIO GAS - making gas and electricity from animals, poultry and fish waste .... Introduction of first fresh water shrimp hatchery in Nigeria , polyculture of shrimp and tilapia raising them to table size with zero cost of feeding in 4 months and lots more ,,,We are ready to shear all this info with our dear colleagues .
Most especially, i believe no great thing comes easily , we never promised a smooth ride all through without hitches and we never promised miracles, but in as much as : there must be rivers to cross , mountains to climb , fences to jump over , journey to walk and so on , but after all we see a bright light at the end of the tunnel , with co operation together and determinations together we shall make it .
In this 2016 lets remove the old cloths of impossible and put on new cloths of possible . A journey of a thousand mile start with a step.
What God has designed can never fail .!!!! THE REVOLUTION 2016 HAS JUST BEGIN !!!!! wishing you all a JOYFUL AND MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!

However, anything that has to do with these quack Nigerian scientists shouldn't be taken seriously. That was how one proposed the use of ewedu leaves in curing ebola.

With due respect, it is libelous, defamatory and childish to refer to this hardworking, intelligent and promising lady as a quack, has the facts published being disputed? I mean no harm what are your own achievements in your field of specialisation?. How can you refer to her as a quack without any proof? The ewedu you made reference to has a lot of medicinal benefits from time immemorial and up to date, scientists and nutritionists confirmed this, if GNLD use ordinary grass picked from our country to manufacture drugs, people like you will spend thousands buying it, for God's sake when are we going to start appreciating what God gives us? Continue wailing till this glorious lady is awarded with a Noble Prize, kudos to you Nkiruka Odoh.

– Fulani herdsmen are not buying the idea of grazing reserve

– Some of them see it as an infringement of their rights to movement

– There is suggestion that the herdsmen be educated on the importance The nomadic practice of moving cattle from one place to the other that is common among Fulani herdsmen in Nigeria has led to violent clashes between the herdsmen and farmers but the end of these confrontations doesn’t seem to be near. This is because the idea of providing permanent grazing reserves for herdsmen to prevent them from roaming with their cattle from the northern part of the country to the largely agrarian south is not welcomed by some herdsmen who feel their right to movement is going to be infringed.

In a report published by Daily trust, some herdsmen and milk sellers expressed displeasure at the idea of restricting their movement and claimed cattle could not survive restrictions. A herdsman, Muhammadu Tukur said the idea of a permanent reserve will not work.
“It will not work out because we always relocate to where pasture can be found.” Adamu Birniwa who is the secretary of the state chapter of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association said he was aware of the federal government’s plan and that there was plan to educate the herdsmen on the importance and benefit of the grazing reserve. Halilu Alhaji Ya’u who is a herdsman condemned the idea and said it would not work. “If what you are saying becomes reality, it will inconvenience us.”

Alhaji Muhammad Hussaini who is the chairman of the Nasarawa state Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association, Nigeria said it was a bad idea and an invitation for to trouble. “We have over 35 million Fulani herdsmen in the country and stopping their movement with cattle might not be possible.” “If you force a Fulani man not to move with his cattle, you are inviting trouble.”
Hadiza Umar who sells Fura Da Nono rejected the idea and said it might kill her business.

“If you stop moving cattle how do you feed them? Do you think you will get grasses and water from a location to feed them? Where are we going to get the milk? If you don’t get the milk from the cattle rearers in the bush, where do we get it? They are planning to kill our business. They shouldn’t tamper with our means of livelihood and find an alternative means of resolving their problems, and not create another because this move is unacceptable.”
The debate rages on…

Samson Folarin

A man, identified only as David, caused a stir at the retail outlet of Scanfrost, at the Ketu end of the Ikorodu Road, Lagos State.

He brought out a knife and threatened to kill workers in the place if he did not see Omotola Jalade-Ekehinde, whom he claimed to be his ‘wife’.

Omotola is a Nollywood actress who is also a model for Scanfrost, an electronics home appliances manufacturing firm.

Billboards bearing the pictures of the actress had been placed outside the retail outlet and at its entrance.

Two weeks ago when David first made his appearance in the area, he was reported to have made enquiries on the whereabouts of Omotola.

He reportedly threatened mayhem if workers at the outlet did not meet his demand and produce his ‘wife.’

PUNCH Metro gathered that the death threat scared away some of the workers.

The owner of the outlet, however, did not take it seriously until on Monday when the suspect appeared again with a knife and started chasing the workers, calling out for Omotola.

Policemen from the Alapere division were said to have been invited to take him away.

When our correspondent visited the area on Tuesday, he was told that David had yet to return to the area.

It was learnt that the owner of the outlet, on the advice of the police, had bought a long whip in the event that he returned to foment trouble.

A witness, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said David was popular in the area.

She said, “He is a popular face here. He is a regular visitor to this place. He had been asking for Omotola for the past two weeks.

“Every time, he would say that he was looking for his wife, Omotola. He said he had paid the bride price on her and she was being held in the Scanfrost building.

“He had been threatening that if we didn’t produce his wife, he would kill people.

“There was a day I was alone and he suddenly rushed at me and started asking for Omotola. He was shouting, ‘where is my wife, where is Omotola?’ I told him I didn’t know where she was. I was really afraid because his look was scary and when I had my chance, I fled.”

The owner of the shop, who asked not to be named, said the suspect appeared to be from a good home.

“In my few interactions with him, he told me his father is the Babaloja of a market in this community. He always dresses well and every day, he wears different clothes.

“He said Omotola was his wife and I looked like her. He sometimes spoke Ikale dialect. He told me he saw Omotola a few days ago entering the building and we should bring her out.

“I asked him to enter the place himself and search to clear his doubt, but he declined and said we would kill him. The unfortunate thing is that he has driven away my workers because they are scared of him,” she said.

Our correspondent gathered that the suspect brought out a knife around 5pm on Monday and started asking for his ‘wife’.

Some men were reported to have overpowered him and taken the weapon from him.

A resident said, “He was saying if people liked, they should kill him, that he did not care. Even when the police came, he dared them to shoot him.”

An aide of the Nollywood actress, Damilare Daniel, when contacted, said her boss was not aware of the incident.

He said, “When did this happen? I am not aware sir. Please give me some time and let me get to my boss because I don’t think she is aware also. We will get back to you soon.”

The Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Command, SP Dolapo Badmos, confirmed the incident, but said investigations by the command revealed that David was mentally ill.

“After interrogation, our operatives discovered that he was mental,” she said.

’Femi Asu

The rejection of load allocations from power generating plants by some electricity distribution companies is one of the factors preventing the country from fully benefitting from the 6,500 megawatts generation capacity of the existing power plants.

Our correspondent gathered that some power plant units were being shut due to high frequency occasioned by the inability of the distribution companies to pick their load allocations.

For instance, the nation lost about 2,821.5MW of electricity generation on Monday partly due to the rejection of loads by the Discos, it was exclusively gathered from top industry sources.

The nation’s electricity generation as of 6.00am on Monday stood at 3,548.7MW, while the combined generation capacity of the power plants was put at 6,370.2MW.

Some of the plants affected by the load rejection or low load demand were Shiroro, Jebba, Egbin, Okpai and Afam VI.

Others are plants under the National Integrated Power Project, including Alaoji, Odukpani and Ihovbor.

Shiroro and Jebba saw their generation levels reduce to 200MW and 260MW, compared to capacities of 300MW and 341MW, respectively. Odukpani generated 60.1MW instead of its capacity of 360MW; Egbin, 820MW (880MW); Alaoji, 51.5MW (117MW); Ihovbor, 78.4Mw (109MW); Okpai, 282MW (366MW); and Afam VI, 378MW (555MW).

The General Secretary, National Union of Electricity Employees, Mr. Joe Ajaero, had claimed in a statement on Monday that the real saboteurs of the power sector were those who refused allocations from the national grid for onward distribution to consumers.

A former top executive in one of the power firms explained to our correspondent that a distribution company could decide to reject load due to low revenue generation from a segment of its customer base.

The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Eko Electricity Distribution Company, Mr. Oladele Amoda, told our correspondent in a telephone interview that load rejection could be as a result of capacity issues between the transmission and distribution networks.

He said, “In some cases, there is no enough transmission equipment capacity to wheel power to the Discos. Sometimes, the Discos also do have issues; that is when there is powerful wind, which, sometimes, leads to tripping of the breaker. But it doesn’t take time before that is restored.

“Everybody knows that the weakest link in the power value chain is transmission. So, the blame cannot be put solely on the Discos.”

According to Amoda, the nation’s transmission network cannot wheel more than 6,000MW, while the distribution networks nationwide can take more than 10,000MW.

“At Eko Disco, we are not rejecting load. We are not even getting up to our allocated percentage because of constraints on the transmission equipment,” he said, adding that the company had spent more than N11bn on network rehabilitation and reinforcement, among others.

Amoda said the government was working on improving the transmission capacity, noting that the Transmission Company of Nigeria had been starved of funds for a very long time.

“The government is looking into how to quickly strengthen it financially and with all the provisions that it will require to quickly ramp up its capacity,” he stated.

The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading Plc, Mr. Rumundaka Wonodi, said, “When the Discos reject load allocation, the question is why are they rejecting it? It could be that their system is weak, which is why we keep talking about the need for investment.

“When this (load rejection) happens, it has an effect all through the value chain because generation companies cannot generate power and maybe they have ‘take or pay’ obligation on their gas supply; so, they have to pay for gas that they did not utilise at that time.”

The Chairman, Egbin Power Plc, Mr. Kola Adesina, said the talk that the Discos were rejecting allocation was an indication that there was a major problem far more significant than frequency and pressure of gas.

“There is no justification for somebody to reject power. You need power to make money. You need money to be able to pay your loan, to be able to continue to service the system. So, nobody will naturally want to do that,” he said.

The spokesperson for the Kano Electricity Distribution Company, Mr. Muhammed Kandi, said, “In Kano Disco, we do not drop load. In fact, we don’t get enough allocation; so why should we even drop load in the first place?”

He explained that the company only received about 260MW on Tuesday morning, compared to a maximum energy demand of 600MW.

The Acting Chief Executive Officer, Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, Mr. Anthony Akah, said, “Clearly, the issue of load rejection has been addressed by the commission. Under the new regime, that is the Transitional Electricity Market, the distribution companies can no longer reject load that is within the allocation level that they are supposed to get.

“If it is due to the constraint of the distribution companies, they will be penalised for that. If it is the transmission company, it will also have to be penalised. That essentially has been taken care of, unless there are other reasons behind why it happened.”

The Chief Executive Officer, Association of Nigerian Electricity Distributors, Mr. Azu Obiaya, said, “It is irrational that anyone of these Discos will reject load right now because they desperately need the power to, first of all, meet their revenue requirements as well as distribute to their customers.”
