Hybridfeeds,Location jos.Pls how can I improve their performance. Thanks

First of all, 8 bags per day isn't adequate for 1845 laying birds. You should feed them with at least 9 bags per day. Do that and place them on multivitamins for a week and let's know the outcome.

Oil prices rose on Tuesday on evidence the global market was tightening as lower production by OPEC and other exporters drained stocks.

Meanwhile, an increase in drilling in the United States could keep a lid on prices.

Benchmark Brent crude was up 40 cents at 55.63 dollars a barrel by 0840 GMT. U.S. light crude was 40 cents higher at to 53.15 dollars.

Ministers from OPEC and big producers outside the group said on Sunday that 1.5 million bpd had already been cut.
The supply balance already appears to be tightening.

Bernstein Energy said global oil inventories declined by 24 million barrels to 5.7 billion barrels in the fourth quarter of last year from the previous quarter.

Still, this amounts to about 60 days of world oil
consumption.

A former CBN Governor, Prof. Charles Soludo, Capital Oil boss, Dr. Ifeanyi Uba, Sen. Uche Ekwunife, and ten other aspirants have indicated interest to contest for the All
Progressives Congress (APC) ticket in the forthcoming Anambra governorship election.

Mr Emeka Ibe, Chairman of the party in the state, made this known to newsmen on Tuesday in Awka.

He stressed that there would be no automatic ticket for any aspirant, adding that they would all participate in the state`s primaries to emerge as candidate for the election.

“We will give all aspirants equal playing ground. There is no special interest in any aspirant.
“We will hold transparent primaries for them because they are all qualified to unseat Gov. Willie Obiano.

“Any of them who emerges as our candidate in the state is capable of removing Obiano from office,’’ Ibe said.

He added that the party would embark on continuous membership registration exercise before the end of the month to accommodate those who want to join in the state.

Ibe, however, said that anybody with criminal records would not be allowed to join the party in the state.

He maintained that there was no zoning arrangement in the party, adding that new members would have equal rights as old ones.

Others, who indicated interest to contest the APC ticket include: Chief George Muoghalu, Chief Barth Nwibe, Mr Obinna Okonkwo and Chief Paul Chukwuma.

Others are Dr Chike Obidigbo, Chief Raph Okeke, Dr Ifeanyi Ubah, Chief Tony Nwoye, Sen. Uche Ekwunife, Sen. Andy Ubah, Chief Obinna Uzor and Prince Donatus Okonkwo.

In 2015, the Nigerian Communications Commission slapped MTN Nigeria with a fine of ₦1.04 trillion for failure to disconnect unregistered subscribers and after months of negotiation, the fine was slashed to ₦330 billion.

One of the requirements of the agreement and resolution was that MTN was expected to take immediate steps to ensure listing their shares on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE).

Last year, the telecommunication giant announced that it would list it’s shares on the NSE in 2017 “subject to suitable market conditions”. This may not be the case anymore as according to MTN chairman, Phuthuma Nhleko at the World Economic Forum, listing has been deferred till 2018.

“It’s a work in progress and hopefully within the 12 to 18 month period we will be able to do it”

He gave regulatory issues and the present economic situation of the country as reasons for the delay.

MTN, according to Bloomber,g has lost more than a third of their shares value since they were fined by NCC in 2015. Also, the telco lost its number one position as Africa’s biggest telecommunication company to Vodacom in 2016 as a result.

As reported at the end of 2016, the Nigeria Stock Exchange All Share Index was on the poor side and the listing of big multinational companies like MTN would help to deepen the market, improve the portfolio and boost stocks on the exchange. MTN listing is expected to increase the market capitalization of the NSE by 22% and also encourage other multinational companies and telcos to do the same.

Through this listing, the government would also be able to generate revenue through tax and create opportunities for Nigerians to become shareholders of the company, supporting wealth creation and distribution.

We can only hope that other telcos like Glo, Airtel, Etisalat and other multinational companies would take the plunge and get listed as they stand to attract finance from the market and expand their businesses.

Unemployment and food insecurity are two major challenges to Nigeria’s quest for development. Any programme that will provide solution to these problems will surely receive the support and encomiums of Nigerians. Daily Trust on Sunday reports how wheat production is providing employment opportunities to many residents of Kaduna State.


Thousands of hectares of land are presently under cultivation in Zaria and other parts of Kaduna State. Farmers are being empowered to grow wheat on the lands. The aim of the programme is to provide employment for about 10,000 youths.

Presently, one of the major issues disturbing most Nigerians is food to put on the table. Many Nigerians are surviving without a reliable means of eking out a living. Therefore, the wheat production programme has offered many of these categories of Nigerians living in Kaduna State a means of livelihood.

When our correspondent visited Gagara Kutare and Shika dams in Kubau and Zaria local government areas, respectively, thousands of youth-cum-farmers were seen working on their allocated fields.
In an interview, one of the youth, Rabi’u Jafaru, 24, said he has been a subsistence farmer for the past five years, but decided to participate in the wheat production programme because he wants a bright future. “Before this time, I only assisted my father on his farm. For the past five years that I fully participated in my father’s farm, we hardly produced what to sustain our family for the whole year. Therefore, I see this programme as an opportunity that is capable of turning my life around. At least, even at this level, I feel that I have a job. The aura of employment is beginning to get out of me,” Jafaru said.

He explained that the officials of the wheat production scheme have provided them with water pumping machines, seed and fertiliser.
Daily Trust on Sunday observed that the Gagara Kutare wheat production land was harrowed before it was allocated to the individual beneficiaries.

Jafaru added; “I have been allocated one hectare. I have started work. In fact, anyone among us who would require the services of people that would assist him in cultivating his land would be given some cash in loan. That was what the officials told us. However, there are some of us who can use their Allah-given strength to cultivate their lands.”
On the conditions upon which the cash and inputs were given to them, Jafaru said, “They said the seed and the pumping machines were free. After harvest, the officials said we would be free to sell our produce to whoever we want, including the initiators of the programme. But we would be only required to pay back the cash given as loan and the cost of the fertilizer. This initiative is to assist people like us who are virtually unemployed.”

Our correspondent observed that water channels were constructed at both Shika Dam and Gagara Kutare wheat production lands. A heavy-duty water pumping machine has been provided at the Gagara Kutare area. This machine pumps water from the dam to the various channels, from where the famers can tap the water with their small machines to their various farms.
According to the executive eecretary of the Kaduna State Industrialisation and Micro-Credit Management Board, Alhaji Sabi’u Sani Isma’ila, 10,000 hectares have been cultivated at the Gagara Kutare area. He said the scheme had already created 10,000 job opportunities for youths in the state. In Zaria, about 3,000 hectares of land is involved. He said the essence of the programme was to strengthen national food security, facilitate import substitution and enhance job and wealth creation at rural communities in order to pave way for self-reliance.

“This administration wants to reduce rural poverty, curb unemployment by creating job opportunities for the youth, and at the same time, support the national food security. This can be achieved through the use of our God-given resources of fertile land, water resources and youthful population. That is why we thought it was wise to commence the creation of commercial production of commodities, starting with wheat under the Anchor-Brower-Programme,” Isma’ila said.
He said the pilot areas were selected after studies were conducted to determine their suitability for wheat production.
For the farmers to be guided properly and attain optimal result, the state Ministry of Agriculture and the Kaduna State Agricultural Development Project (KADP) were assigned to provide extension services, while the Lake Chad Research Institute was providing training and technical support.

For now, apart from solving the problem of unemployment in the selected areas, the wheat production programme has also solved the problem of access road for the Gagara Kutare community. A tarred road was provided by the Kaduna State Ministry of Works, linking the area with other communities, particularly the Kubau Local Government headquarters.
Traders, food vendors and other businessmen and women were also seen making brisk business.
Beneficiaries are, however, praying for a bumper harvest, which will ultimately boost food security in Nigeria and allow her to utilise her scarce forex in other productive areas.
