Agriculture › Re: My Dry Season Watermelon Farm Getting Ready For Harvesting by laivwire(m): 12:04pm On Dec 27, 2023
Beautiful. Now the rush begins to sell all of them before they start to rot.

I must commend you because raising these babies is no joke. From rats to insect pests and flower abortions.

Good job

Many are going to get killed for this. Trust me, drug barons don't play.
No one is getting killed. This is a not so rare occurrence. some smugglers place lots pf parcels on floating platforms across the ocean in a bid to beat border security. Some of the packages are found by the navy, some fall into the water.

I have a friend who was a dive guide for tourists in South America. He said they came across packages like this one or twice floating randomly in the ocean. They simply recover the package and contact one of the local barons onshore who gives them commissions after the drug has been sold. Usually a little percentage but still substantial like $20,000 and the whole dive team shares the bounty.

Forums are not social media



Social media is not worth it , it's used to be something interesting back in the dot com era now it's shit


The only social media or anything close to it I recommend is federated software or secure messengers
I'm done with this conversation.

I don't have social media , I just lurk on forums and eat wtf I want
And forums are not social media?

Valerieee:
am I losing so much by being invisible Online?
Social media like instagram can be quite valuable with connecting and keeping in touch with old and distant friends and acquaintances. At a certain age, you just cant pick up your phone and dial or text everybody. Social media like Whatsapp makes it easier. Sometimes just seeing someone's status is enough to let you know they are still alive and doing fine. Sometimes I just drop a smiley or drop a quick message.

Heck my active groups on Whatsapp today are my extended family; aunties, uncles and grandparents, another for cousins, another for old school mates, old club mates etc. It just makes connecting much easier. Meetups with colleagues and church is also online, someone just suggests where we should hang out one evening and posts a live location and time. Who has time to be calling you on phone? How do yu tell your colleagues you missed the bus if your few best friends are not picking their calls?

Additionally, when you stay in some countries up north (Europe and the like) some people are more comfortable giving you their Snapchat ID or Instagram handles than their telephone numbers...and believe it, when you change numbers once or twice it becomes hard to keep track of people on your contact list, contacts that will be quite beneficial in the future.

If you don't have at least one active account, you better start growing it now.

Business is tough, get a licensed business developer to guide you, I am one.
There are many government incentives you can leverage, you can also get many inputs free or super cheap, and you may not have to spend all your 1 M.
Good suggestions.

In addition @Kilisi, I will reiterate that you continue with your job and look for how you can manage the farm on the side (don't splurge on hiring labour if you can do it yourself, save costs). You can plant and forget cassava as it takes 9 months on average. I don't think you can depend solely on smallscale farming for starters. You can also buy grains at harvest time to sell later.

What is needed is multiple sources of income. Even people who have million naira generating businesses still wake 4am and go to their jobs everyday. If you're tired of your current job, look for another one.

Honestly I don't know about your inherent believe about agriculture but I still feel retain belief that farming is a gold mine.If you have to case study to validate your opinion,i also have quite a few to give support to my opinion as well.Furthermore,when I try Google searching about the companies you listed,I found out they were more of an investment company who use farming as a decoy to make potential investors belief their return will be consistently guaranteed.You know all these ponzi/investment company have a modus operandi of running away with investors money when they hit some certain target.
I have made millions from farming on a commercial scale and I can tell you for free, it is a risky venture. Some of the companies are not ponzi but things do spiral out of control with nature, you can't tame it and you can't predict it.

You can make some money from small scale farming but where you really want to be is on the large scale as seasons take time to mature and you need profits that can sustain your lifestyle comfortably. From pests, to low selling prices, to bad weather to herdmen attacks. It is not a business an upcoming entrepreneur should depend solely especially when resources are quite scarce.

He should rather open shop and sell pesticides sef. He will make more money.

Bro modern age farmers are not poor.It is a lucrative business both crop and livestock farming.It only require quite a lot of training and time.But if you put best practices in place,it will definitely yield a good RoI.
Don't be deceived brother, highly liquid companies in farming have gone under. Agrilet, Farmfunded and co for example. Companies with millions to invest and obtain all the resources they need but they went down.

Farming is risky and doesn't pay like trade. Even the USA has the highest costs of farming in crop insurance. No be joke.

Agriculture is the only investment that can guarantee more than an 100% return on investment actually but one has to undergo some training before venturing into it .
So why are farmers poor?

Lonikit, you had better be certain of your mastery of whatever business it is before you put even one naira into it or else loss and debt will be your first and surnames.

My other suggestion is to start a business that requires little to no capital expenditure. Don't spend money on things you can't quickly liquidate and get your money back in the event of things going awry.

A good idea will be to trade something. Even if it's pure water bags or bread. All you need is a table at a good roadside location. Buy direct from producers and sell to motorists in the evenings as they return from work. You have to follow it up with a lot of legwork but that's what you need at the start of a business. When you have some change, you can start aiming for bigger things like a farm or shop.

Even though it evokes nostalgic feelings, the 505 is not all that glamorous. With the door handles that fall apart, flat cushion seats with that Peugeot smell. Hmm

That sound too. Maybe I'd be convinced if it were a 505 V6.

This particular low frame mitsubishi is very useless,Trust me.
No offloading abilities,lacks auxiliary gear,small tires and very weak suspension and hence poor load carrying capabilities,quite slow too and burn a lot of gas.
Avoid mitsubushi L200,I know because I have one exactly like this and it's the worse truck in My fleet.
I know right. About burning gas though, I'm not sure because it's engine is quite small.

Yes!
Of she gets a very good lawyer,especially those hot head human rights/family lawyers, she gets ALL the kids. You will have visitation rights and will be paying for their upkeep.

If I'm in her shoes, my lawyer would have handed me those kids since.
Not if he has an equally good lawyer. There are numerous ways to discredit the mother from taking custody of the kids.

Why not take an online program? There are lots of verified online universities that can give you a high-quality law education. They may be free of physical lectures but make no mistake, they are equally intensive and thorough.

If he's so optimistic, he should google up a top 50 list of precious rocks. If he can't find a similar rock somewhere in there, he should discard whatever stone he's holding promptly and focus on more productive work.

It's only poor men that go searching for luck.

AfahaAbia:
To me men who marry at that age are very big fools!!! Most of them hope to use their children as retirement plan!!!
What gibberish. When those who marry at 40 continue child-raising way into their retirement age, others who marry early are done with intensive child-raising by 60. Who then is using children as a retirement plan?

Does marriage stop you from making money? Working marriages actually enable you to save more by streamlining your expenses and focusing on more capital and forward-looking projects other than wasting it away every Friday and on girls you have no future with. You also get to pool your resources reducing the impact of expenses and investing more.

Family › Re: My Partner And I Dont Love Each Other But We Respect Each Other by laivwire(m):
ademola2017:
In 2017, i expressed my deep concerns on nairaland about my now ex wife double dating game before we got married, her attitude towards me and how the relationship was one sided.

I got several advices to let her go but decided to give the marriage another chance but it eventually crashed in March 2022. We did all we could to save the marriage but to no success. We were done patching. No child was involved and absolutely nothing to show for the marriage after 8years of being together. I still feel the pain but it gets better everyday.
I credit myself for not cheating on her till our last days together and even months after our separation.

After several months of being celibate, I had sex with a young 25year old lady. I met her through a family friend 2 months before she got pregnant

Just one intercourse, she became pregnant. At first, i doubted it because I laboured very hard to father a child for 8yrs and with just one sexual intercourse, someone is carry my baby?? with me being very knowledgable about calculating ovulation dates and timely intercourse, it conformed so I had to accept the pregnancy as a sign from God.

Deep down, my new partner and I do not love each other but the respect for each other is on point. We have ZERO expectations from each other. We communicate well and have started living together in peace. No arguements, no drama and no issues at all.

I changed my mindset by taking her as my younger sister and she does same by taking me as an older brother.

It feels strange to be at so much peace with someone that I dont love at all. Our baby is coming and I am scared things may change when the true reality sets in.

What do you guys think?
So do you plan to have an open marriage or something?

I don't understand being stuck to someone you don't love for an extended period. What happens when you grow old? How do you want your family to evolve?

Will you enjoy an ideal family setting when your children see their parents relate as mere acquaintances?
Fwiw, you should know that you'd need someone close to rely on in your old age. Someone you know, love and have come to trust.
