Electronic clipper works for me. After shaving I use soap and water to clean off the shaved area.

I tried using the usual shaving stick once and it was not good..

The major setback with electronic clipper is when you are far from the city and there is no access to electricity.

What a coincidence: I just finish shaving about 5 minutes back.

Nice one Mr. Jasper. The idea is applaudable and a feasible one also. Distribution and presentation is a different ball game on its own... One crucial aspect of making the project is the re-orientation of retailers.

But before you take a dive pls do test the water. We are in a hot temperate region which have its own merit and demerit. But a cooler region as an edge. Availability of Electricity is also a big deciding factor.

An almost new model for our temperate region is crucial.. Using a copy and paste approach of other countries model could be detrimental cos they ve things we don't have and we have things they don’t have.

So a feasibility study that will mainly factor in open market will see this idea metamorphose to something real. Open market in the sense that one don't need a defined structure like walmart or target to make sale. Open market will help market like mile 12 and the rest. Since they are the major market, it is logical to have it as ur study theme.

But first... A small model should first be created and studied before looking at the expansion phase.

I am also looking at the pricing scheme of produce. A semi-central agric stock market will see everybody (farmers, distributor and retailers) happy.

Goodday house,

Please do any one know the procedure carried out to ascertain the purity of charcoal.. Some of the contents for lookout are ; Fixed Carbon
Moisture Level , Ash Contents, Heating Level, Volatile Matter. I don't want to know by word of mouth though I read SGS, Bureau Veritas can ascertain that but I don't know if it located in Nigeria. Can such procedure be carried out in a room with few apparatus?

I know people will say go get a manual but most contents are recycled. Though I prefer the one on one consultation, it is quiet expensive for me. Please Nairalanders anyone with a good knowledge of Charcoal and its export should help me. Or even one with "average" understanding is openly welcomed, for we can share what we know freely.

Hoping to here from any one.

I am also interested in the local production but I have read at a good length about it but further knowledge is no crime. Getting export license from the NEPC seems like a walk in the park but I hope it will not be strenuous compared to CAC online registration method.

In general, I will like to share knowledge with anyone interested in the world of CHARCOAL trading.. Please drop a comment or PM me.

THANK you all.

Use DD force or put kerosine/Petrol inside water and spray them. You will get your result instantly

Thanks alot. But do you know how long this would remain effective. I simply mean is it 3 months, 6 months and so on. And hope it won't harm snail, ugwu plant and pawpaw plant?.. I ll google DD now but i don't know it..

Thanks and expecting your feedback..

Hello all,

Seasons greetings. Please I need you all advice in getting rid of soldier ants in the soil. I am planning on setting up free range snailery but I encountered soldier ants when supervising the land am to use today. The land is situated in south east. I have seen some chemicals online but I want a real life approach from Nairalanders.

I have attached some pics and also the soil texture picture and I noticed the soil is good cos of the good water retention ability.

Please any input would be greatly appreciated.

Regards..

Please kindly add me to the group...

Hello lordhugo,

My major challenge is security if i am to get a farm land for snail and veggie farming. Please how do i solve this because farmlands for sale are kind of out of the city. Because i will like to be close to the farmland. I presently reside in lagos but i am considering moving to ogun state for this. Which city is close to a farmland for sale and i guess i have to look for money to fence a part of the acre for snail..

Please i am very new to farming in general.
I am pasting this here so others can learn and also as per your instruction..

Chumani:


Thank u very much for ur concerns, I quite appreciate u.

The girl in question has the crisis everyday (like 10 times or more in a day) to the point of thinking that she would give up.

10 times is alarming.

If you check my post, I am a firm believer of jesus christ so no matter how 'unconventional' people may see me mentioning my believe or this post, i don't care. They were not there when the US trained neurologist said "he does not know what to do".. But Jesus solved it.

I am seizure free today ALL to the glory of God. I can assure you if you sincerely pray to christ jesus he will solve it. But you have to totally depend on christ and not mix him with other gods like sin or contrary believes. Do it for your neice.

There are different ways God works. Mine was i got a drug for mine. Some people they don't need drugs again.

When I had seizure then, i bit my tongue so hard.. My right is almost lost but thank God. My lags behind alot. And i was depressed.

I cried to God for mercy. Ofcourse God answered but I was patient.

Please give me more details whether it happens mostly morning or night. Is she always weak.. Does she play normal or she showing sign of depression.. What are neurologist saying.. Please go to epilepsy.com forum.. You ll be surprised how many people want to help cos they understand. Please help me with more info or pm the info.. Also pm her name, i ll love to put plead mercy from my jesus cos he is ever loving.

God bless

I av a 2½yrs old niece who is suffering from the disorder. I am curious to know if it is curable.

First, there's yet to be a known cure. But don't feel down yet.. Drugs can repress seizure for years as long as it is taken..

Please be wary of fruitless hope. Epileptic people do well in life so don't let misconception bring you down. Ok.

I think mozart or beethoven was.. You can browse men and women that did well even with the disability..

Don't be surprise i called 'disability'.. It simply means one is simply limited in some things.. Almost everyone has a form of it.. People that use med glasses are also disable.

Orientation is most needed to overcome this. Love your neice for she is a proper child. Don't ever think otherwise cos once you do, you add more to the problem.

Just to add.. Sufferers of these are very smart.. Not al but most from observation.

I am sorry i was not able to post. The anti spam bot add my post limited till this very moment. Can't understand why..

I will like to thank you all for your encouragement and appreciation. It beehoves me to really do my own part in spreading awareness, love and most especially hope.

For the individual that requested the different medications i tried. I can't recall the first one i used about 10 years back. For that of 2012-2014 when the seuzure was heightened i used keppra but it was of little effect..

Finally, i am on tegretol and i have been seizure free since dec 2014. Hope this helps.

ministerblessed:
I suffer from from seizure disorder....... I see my doctor regularly and av learnt to notice d symptoms so I can avoid it.
I don't stress myself and I stay away from cold. I take antimalarial regularly......
I thank God for my family and few friends who stood by me when it all started.
Honestly its nt an easy ailment to manage,dew were times wen I convulsed in church and even in d lecture room, I used to b so ashamed. But now I never miss my drugs and wen I get to a new environment I try to let at least one person know abt my condition. I know I will overcome!

As for fast remedy I dad squeezes onions juice into my nostrils and even says I should eat as much as I can but am not faithful in dt sha.........

I concur that stress induced activity has a 90% chance of triggering it.

Stay strong, Stay blessed

Caracta:
@lexicot, thank you so much for sharing and encouraging others.

I can't explain how I felt reading your post. I just want to hug you over and over again. You are an inspiration. You are sunshine.

Thank you. I already felt your hug..

My story is so touching.. It bring tears to close ones around. Epilepsy is a scourge, a disability that will likely take away your self esteem and even your life if you are not careful.

Once I get my footing, I will spend my life helping people passing through this stigma and ofcourse talk about my loving Jesus.

I am that brillant fellow in the engineering faculty people know about as being witty and to himself. Good looking but relationship issues is far from his side (despite not been too close to God then).. Did well in school, was on scholarship.

Went further for an MSc in the states then the seizure kicked in. Note that the seizure never attacked me doing my undergrad except for some disorder or migrane.. I almost did not complete my Msc cos of the seizure. I have thought about the fastest/painless poison killer but anytime that thought comes my mum face shows up.

I was even ready to make hell but the love of God has for me is so immeasurable. I have watched friends gave up on me. Relationship gone down the drain. Hope lost.

Oh my heart bleeds just recalling having those episode. At times it can be twice a week. Was this it I asked?

I hated life. I cursed myself and wept bitterly on my pillow every night.

My memory was going numb. My academics was shaking. My thesis prof broke my heart when he said " my effort induce sympathy" so as to accredit my research.

Oh, how did I stoop so low? How did I lose life dignity?

It is a year back and I still feel it as though it was yesterday. If not for Jesus, I would have taking my life like a childhood friend. I am not better than him but christ just love me.

Please I beg you. Stretch out an helping hands to anyone passing through this tumultuous event. Please I plead.

A poem to sum it.

When my space is beclouded
with so great sorrow and grief
When hope is lost in abysmal
And joy is alien to my existent

When I cry tears so salty
My mucus stream through my mouth
When I search for succumb
Only to realized I just had another seizure

Oh what unjustifiable pain
Oh what spear thrust to my heart
I craved death solace
But I guess that was not the means

Now, I look back
So indebted and timid
How did I pass through this valley
How did I see this light at close of road end

It was no other
But that loving and compassionate friend
That being where love emanate
No other but Christ Jesus

When I saw the word "seizure" on front page I couldn't help to comment. I am also passing through the whole ordeal of one that's epileptic. mine is nocturnal epilepsy(meaning it happens when I'm asleep or half asleep), but it is one of the most dangerous.

My story is long.. But I want anyone reading this to encourage anyone passing through it. I am very close to Jesus (not ashamed to cry it loud) and that as helped me alot.. I finally got the required drugs for me and I have been seizure free for 1 year.

Talk about suicide, talk about depression, I passed through all of this for close 10 years.
I am young and very good looking and brilliant, that you won't have an idea that I pass through this. It almost terminated my life but thank God.

Please it is not infectious. I got mine from an head injury when I was much younger.

Op, God bless you for helping that fellow. My drugs is on the high side but thank God for his provision. Would have typed more but I have to run to bible study.

God bless

This is beautiful and thrilling.. It strengthens my fear and respect for the Almighty God, the more.

Start - 3:30 Stop - 4:30

Total trades - 5

I noticed an important thing after a breakout.. The market would likely go the length of the range when there's a breakout of the range. That's where I hoped on a runner though we still had a runner.

Trade one: Typical setup but a range like entry. Entered cos of failed breakout (W)
Trade two: Entered at a pullback. Profit target was right but I moved my profit target aiming for a runner
Trade three: Typical pullback. Netted 2.5 points
Trade four: Typical pullback but market got to its exhaustion point early. I presume my premonition of friday's was true
Trade five: the entry was not idea because of that exhaustion of the trend and considering the type of day too.


Points I took from friday's trade : Market is rangy so expecting a runner can be detrimental (That cost me) ... I also noticed market exhaust quickly after a 3-4 points move. If I had stick to my ratio of 1:1, friday would have come out positive.

Why I like runner: I could get a good Risk: Reward of 1:3 and I am done with the day. This tend to happen more on tuesday and wednesday.

Chart below...

@Jideams, how do you filter stocks.. Do you follow the "pro's" or is it fundamentally based?

You are right about me being a day trader but I use volume chart of 6500 value. I have used tick chart of value 2000 and from my little experience both tick and volume chart filter noise better than a a time based chart.
I do better focusing on just Emini S&P 500 trade since I need all attention doing the trading day. Though I know a little about pattern trading in stock especially penny stocks, I notice my personality fits better as a day trader. I am not patient enough to filter stocks using yahoo finance, stockwit and the rest. And also trying to now which trades people are betting on. But it is worth it if you are good in it. I am considering it after I have build my portfolio and maybe consider diversifying my portfolio to better manage risk.

It is difficult to combine trading with another handwork especially if you are trading and not "investing". Realizing that successful traders take trading as full time. I normally finish my day in the space of 1 - 2 hours but my analyses can go on for 2 days for the particular trading day.

" although I would like you to confirm how u identify what to trade for a day." .... As I said earlier focusing on just 1 - 2 markets preferably one, will better a day trader chance.

I trade pull backs mainly in a trending market and this is where my methodology do well. I am trying breakout trades (from trading range) but honestly, I need more work here. About 50% of my failed trades are as a result of false breakout.(Note: I know it is 50% percent cos I document my trades religiously kudos to emini-trades.com excelsheet)

This week came out negative cos it was mainly ranging if you follow Emini S&P 500. I don't know about the parent S&P 500 but I believe they will likely move alike.

Why I trade S&P 500 (E-mini) : It is a big market comprising of top 500 companies, so the influence of smart money or HFT is minimal. This is very crucial for a day trader. NASDAQ and SPY market are also good but Emini S&P is definitely the first choice amongst day traders.

So I believe you are an intraday trader or an investor?

I will add my friday trade after this post. A good trading day cos almost all rules were followed thru but 1.75 points were lost.

Regards

Below is my ES trade yesterday.. Not a good trading since I gave out almost all my profit for the week.. My nightmare has always been rangy market and false breakout though I have managed to tame the false breakout ish.

Please note.. I tried last year to trade with just a $2k account considering I risk just 2% per trade. But unfortunately with SL of 6 - 10 ticks, there was no possibility of that happening since my trades were mostly emotionally induced. Though I came out breakeven after like two months of trading, I decided to trade with an "emotional free account size" which is still in the pipeline.

Also my trading is 90% technically based but I never underestimate the power of the Fundamentals

Summary of ES trade 11/12/15
Trade 1: Typical pullback (W)
Trade 2: No signal bar (Not a bad entry but I did not forsee it was going to be a rangy day (L)
Trade 3: Prediction was right, wrong placement of stop loss (L)
Trade 4: Trying to trade a range day using the typical set of a trendy market (Bad choice) (L)
Trade 5: Entered cos of a break out of the resistance line but entry was poor. I entered so close to another resistance line and I paid for it. (L)



I am 15 minutes away from today's trade, I will also paste the outcome.. Friday's tend to be rangy (we will see)

If we have biafra, this question beckons for answer; Who will lead?

Sure, I believe every individual have a right to self existence and sustainability..

If our electoral system is trusted, I would have suggested a vote among the Igbo populace on whether to secede or remain as an entity (Nigeria) .

Honestly, I don't blame my brothers but I will not let emotion overhaul my reasoning because I am yet to see a workable blueprint of a new nation.

I am praying the present leadership under the auspices of President Buhari prove to all nigerians that Nigeria can survive as a prosperous nation with no bias or tribalism.

Again, where do I start from, all my life is in Lagos (born and breed), not that I am afraid of taking a step of change, but my main concern is to see a well justified and workable blueprint.

one thing I know in a greater probability, is that If this four years is the same old story, if no substantial economic advancement, if power sector does not improve reasonably, if unemployment is still at its high, this protest would have a higher leverage of being justified.

But I know God has a plan for this country especially the path this present government is threading.

It shall be well.

NOTE: To tribalist on NL, you almost sore a seed of discord in my heart everytime I read your writeups. But I thank God your plans failed. You almost twisted my view on yoruba ladies, on my igbo sisters and on the hausas as a whole. If you guys know the damage you caused people with good view of Nigerians before joining NL, you will change your ways.

Please seun and the moderators, prove you are true Nigerians. Say No to ill generated traffic which beget hate.

God bless

sandraokosun1:
why cant u learn frm buhari integrity that won him aso rock, why cant u learn frm buhari doggedness in contesting 5times and winning. Why cant u learn frm buhari tolerance and patience in spite of blackmail by haters in the election. Why cant u learn good things. Is life not a balance of good and bad. If u want to learn frm apc, why not learn frm its head buhari and why people troop in sun or rain to see him. Do u have the video recording of buhari killing coppers? Take it to court

Your statements made sense until the 'bolded' one. Do you think hitler picked up a gun during the world war 2 conquering quest. Words and motivational speech are far stronger than the most sophisticated man made weapon.

Dog and baboon blood will soak together - Buhari (paraphrasing)

The above wordings is enough to justify that he is solely responsible for the massacre of innocent people during that election. He is far guilty than the person that picked up the weapon.

Next time try to draw reasonable conclusion as per providing evidence. I'm Sick and tired of this blind follower-ship.

I am really elated considering the fact that US stocks is been discussed here.

I will be commencing virtual stock trading (mainly penny stocks) until I finish raising cash with suretrader. Forex was the first world I got introduced to some years back but futures stole the love while I was taking a finance course when I was running my graduate program in the states.

My plan was to get a job after my master (energy field) and manage my trading but the economy downtown was so bad for the energy sector that I had to come back to nigeria but unfortunately it's worst landing a job here in nigeria compared to the states.

I'm presently saving up to face this career I love, and I intend to manage two portfolios (E-mini S&P 500 and penny stocks). I already started futures trading far back as 2013 while doing my Msc (using mainly price actions by al brooks and Mack but with a volume chart). My mistake then was I did not have proper documentation of trades but I've started keeping records religiously.

Hopefully, within the first quarter of next year, I should go live. And I will share my experience here.

Please keep the thread alive. Can I paste my E-mini S&P 500 trades here?

Regards...

Only one stands out.. And that is Miss Kebbi..
