Thanks! Hope it goes well for you. Keep the thread alive with updates, challenges and successes.

I've expended close to 2million, securing the land, building materials and labour is quite on the high side now. For a starter, i will advise you use wood to construct your pen, you will still need to concrete the floor anyway.
I got my weaners at the range of 25-30k, i ensure a vet comes in once a month for check-up, i currently have more than 10pigs now and i spend roughly 30k on feeds monthly.

Your profit comes from either you are rearing for fattening or to keep reproducing so you can keep selling the weaners. Some farmers castrate their pigs so it can grow so big to sell for slaughters, a kilo of pork now is #1200, imagine if you have 10 pigs that weighs 200kg each?
And if it is for selling your piglets, the least price for a weaner now is 18k, the exotic breeds cost way more, so if your female pig gives birth to lets say atleast 8 piglets, multiply it by 18k. Good business huh?

My side dey excellent and full of glory sir! Lol. Since our November meeting no hold, make we ndito isong try converge for AKS nah.
Menwongo, etiumo, ekpang nkukwo, will be preferable o Or mbot udia! Lmaoooo.

so many pple have been calling and complaining why I stopped the usual class section we use to have here. some even accused me that I've gotten enough clients.... lol, well the answer is simple, we had exhausted topics on the production curriculum.
so today I decided to start something new.......
it's a new topic and curriculum :
PALM OIL MARKETING AND SUPPLIES
yeah once u are done with the productions, how do you market your products.!!! well every top client will ask you some or all of the following questions :
1: what's the source of your oil
2: what's the price per keg/ton/litre
3: what's the grade
4: what's the specifications
5: how often can you supply
This and many more shall be attempted during this new series. stay tuned.
God bless our hussles


I have a question on the marketing and transport especially. I have read reports of the challenges in transporting the oil from producing states to the North. What are these specifically and how can potential investors help to alleviate it?

In Malaysia Palm oil is transported in tankers or smaller trucks with capacity ranging from 10,000 -35,000 litres? How possible is this in Nigeria and what are the challenges involved?

I think its better to move in tankers and reduce the risk of transporting hundreds of yellow kegs daily on the roads with all the risks involved

what do you guys think?

Today's price
One kegs goes for #9,000 - #9,500.

Bulk customers buy one keg at #8,000 - 8,500. (this customer gave use money to buy palm fruit, hence they buy cheaper)

Do NOT make the mistake of choosing Petroleum Engineering. I'd strongly advise that you put in for Mechanical Engineering. Let's look at the reasons below:

1. Mech Eng is versatile compared to Pet. Eng. With your mechanical degree, you can be rest assured that you'd be able to work in numerous fields, in fact - in all fields. Mechanical engineers are in huge demand compared to Pet. Petroleum engineering is limited in terms of versatility. Think about what becomes of you if you're unable to secure employment in an oil & gas company.

2. The oil company has lost its glory days. The good old days are gone. The oil industry is highly volatile. You can be in today and out tomorrow due to the sensitivity of the industry to the prices of Brent. So, don't think because you studied Pet Eng, then you have an automatic ticket to work in the company. in fact, you'd still have to compete with hordes of engineers from other fields - electrical, mechanical, chemical, civil etc. If you check job adverts from oil companies, you'd see that job openings are always open to all engineering fields. in fact, we have more of electrical, mechanical and chemical engineers in the e&p industry compare to Pet eng.

3. Everything you will learn in your five years of study under Pet Eng could be learned in 1 year. Yes, 1 year. Facts and statistics shows that students from other engineering fields perform better than students with petroleum engineering background in a Master's class in Petroleum engineering. My point is that you'd see that most of the principles used in Pet Eng..are from advanced mathematics and physics. Mechanical engineers delve more into this than PE students. Talk about using complex mathematics principles such as Ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, Laplace theorem etc to model fluid flow. PE students are not exposed indepth to these mathematical principles unlike their mehcnaical and electrical engineering counterparts.

My recommendation is that you should put in for mechanical engineering and pursue Petroleum engineering in your Master's.

In the light of current prices, this house will cost you about N17m for the construction till the roof is finished with parapet and good gauge aluminium sheets.
The furnishing of the two ground floor flats with the plastering of the whole outside will take about N8m in today's costs. This finish includes the inner plastering, dressing, electrical wires and fittings, lights, switches and distribution boards, plumbing piping and fittings, tiles and the workmanship, doors and windows, POP ceilings, I can even give you a soakaway system.

Uber will fail in Nigeria with time. they are getting more desperate by the day.
i pulled my cars a couple of months back when i saw this disaster coming.
uber has failed their riders who now have to ride in older and unsafe cars.
they failed themselves for being so greedy trying to appeal everyone. i mean how do u justify riding in a brand new car for as little as N500 of which 25% goes to uber.
the MD needs to be fired for failing its partners.

SurewayBookings:
I am a very good driver with more than 10years driving experience and in all these years I have never had an accident while driving. I am also very very good when it comes to car maintenance as I can pet a car like its a new born baby.
I am based in Lagos and into hotel bookings and reservations but I will be very glad to become a personal driver for any uber partner.
One thing I can assure anyone who will want me to drive for him/her is that I am a very sincere and open minded person who will take your car as my own and will ensure that I treat it with lots of care and also make you reep the benefit of your investment.
If you will be happy to hire me please reach me through the number in my signature.
Thank you and God bless.
