robonski15:
Fish farming like other business has its prons and cons.. And truthfully its a very lucrative and yet a money draining business..

I have read articles about how lucrative the business is and how to invest and reap millions.. All I do is just to laugh on reading such article.. All they want is just for u to buy their manual and make money.. Surprisingly most of them don't have a farm of their own, they are computer farmers who don't have any experience whatsoever in the business..

I know of farms within my area who have shut down their farms due to frequent loss over the years.. I was also considering shutting down myself after I lost close to 2 million naira, yeah u heard me TWO MILLION NAIRA, but after diligent study which took about a year I decided to give it my last shot..

To be continued..

this is one of the best thread I have read on this forum, please write a recent one because it deserves the front-page.

every part of Nigeria would be better off if we just divide this country, the recent events in this country have even rendered the masses too speechless to protest.

Mortiple:
You are such a big embarrassment to your Moniker.
You pretend to be a Christian yet spew so much hate.
Jesus Christ must be very ashamed of you.
Perhaps, the "Jesus" you identify with is NOT of "Nazareth" but "Jesus of Oyingbo", your kinsman.

the guy is a Muslim fanatic.

XBLadez:
Don't be deceived, that's NgeneUKWUEWU's alt account. He has lived in Enugu and can speak and write Igbo like most of us.

Ngene ukwuenu is a Delta Igbo,she's the special assistant to buhari on social media, her real name is Lauretta Onochie,I won't be surprised if she has lived in Enugu because many modern day Delta Igbos were born and raised there or lived part of their lives there.

It must be said that all forms of fish pond has its advantages and disadvantages, from Concrete Pond to Earthen Fish Pond to Collapsible or Tarpauline Fish Pond. This Analysis is intended to emphasise the cost requirements for 1,000 fish capacity of a concrete fish pond, the dos and donts, the cost of set up & management cost for a duration of 6 months and how to crop and harvest your fish pond every month or every 2 months if you have a set of 6 to 7 ponds. Also these article is intended to suggest alternative feed options to help cut cost against wastage of resources, management approach, employable skills and mechanism, marketing & processing options for a desired result. It must be noted that a minimum of 3 ponds will be needed to start a standard commercial fish farm. The 3 sections are needed for the purpose of Nursery pond, grow out pond for the adult fish, and the 3rd designated for sorting as the fishes grow in varying sizes.
Pond Construction: It must be stressed that with #55,600 Naira, you can afford a concrete fish pond excluding the cost of aerator which is not always mandatory but if you must employ the use of fertilizers in your fish pond and allow for longer time to change your water, then the use of aerator is expedient at an extra cost of #20,000 naira.
Here is a detailed break down of a concrete pond construction: For a pond size of 6ft width X 12ft length X 4ft height. The blocks needed for a unit pond are 4blocks X 8 blocks X 5 blocks= 160 blocks needed per unit pond at #150 per block = 160 x 150= #24,000 worth of blocks.
1 tons of sharp sand per unit pond = #3,000
1 tons of granite stones per unit pond = #4,200
4 bags of Cement per unit pond = 4 x #1,600 = #6,400
Pond Construction workmanship = #6,000
plumbing materials and workmanship = #6,000
Carpenter material & workmanship for wood work pond top covering = #6,000.
TOTAL cost per unit pond = #55,600, therefore the cost of 6 to 7 unit concrete pond for a technical and routine harvest every month will be for a span of 6 month cycle = #55,600 x 6 = #333,600 naira. If plus aerator for a consistent oxygen supply in situation whereby pond fertilization is needed, it will be #55,600 concrete pond cost + #20,000 aerator cost = #75,600. Therefore 6 units = #75,600 x 6 = #453,000 naira. With this cost, you are sure to have 6 ponds with a bonus to make it 7 ponds all together in case u chose to stock 2,000 fishes for a start but it must be noted that a unit pond of 6ft B x 12 ft L x 4ft H can only accommodate 1,000 fishes at most and such limit must not be exceeded as the feeding cost and management quality approach are also contributive factors to determine your out put.
This cost excludes other essential essential provisions which are believed to be readily improvised before the conception of a concrete fish pond idea and whose cost are as follows.
Scaffolding for the suspensions of 2 GP tanks are = #120,000
GP tanks of 5,000 liter capacity X 2 = #45,000 X 2 = #90,000.
Submersible pump = #28,000
Surface pump = #15,000
Borehole = #250,000 (only in the west and south of Nigeria but most likely to be higher in the east or Northern part of Nigeria due to elevation and topography ).

Cost of Shooters fingerlings or Juvenile: at #25 per shooter, #25 x 1050= #26,250.
FEEDING COST: for 1,000 / 1050 fishes, you need between 80 to 100 bags of feed to nurse your fish to a 6 months harvest. if a bag of high formula or foreign feed is at #7,250 therefore 100 x #7,250 = #725,000 or to cut cost, you can buy 20 bags of imported for the 1st 2 months and 80 bags of local for the last 4 month. If 20 x #7,250= #145,000, and 80 x #5,200 of local = #416,000; therefore, #145,000 + #416,000 = #587,250.
For 80 bags of 6 months feed budget cost for 1000 to 1050 fishes, we can also feed the fishes with 20 bags of foreign for the 1st 2 months at #145,000; 60 bags of local for the last 4 months. 60 bags x #5,200= #312,000. For those of you who may worry about the size and cost of feed for the fingerlings or juveniles for the 1st 8 weeks or 2 months, get the regular imported feed size of 3 to 10mm and grind to fine granules of 0.8mm to 2mm at the feed mill and use it for your starter stocks. Don't forget to budget to budget #30,000 for your multivitamin, antifungal and antibacterial, fertilizers and mineral supplements.
Here are the total cost in summary depending on your budget
For 100 bags of imported feed all through with 6 to 7 ponds construction: #725,000 + #453,600 + #30,000 = #1,208,600.
For 100 bags of imported feed all through the 6 months with a single pond : #587,250 + #75,600 + #30,000 = #692,750.
For 80 bags of mixed feed with 20 bags of imported and 60 bags of local feed with the cost of 6 to 7 ponds of 6ft B x 12ft L x 4ft H : #312,000 + #453,600 + #30,000 = #795,600.
For 80 bags of feed with 20 bags foreign and 60 bags local with a single pond budget: #312,000 + #75,000 + #30,000 = #417,000. Your resources or capital at hand will determine your budget.

NOTE: There are different kind of feed out there, the type and the quality of the feed you use couple with other factors will guarantee you result within 4 to 6 months. At least you should have it at the back of your mind that 79% of your running cost will go into feed and The feed industry is more like the drains where most of the profit goes but one must be inventive if one must cut cost and yet meet your targets. A handful of foreign plus a few quality feed industries are the ones taking the credit such as Zeigler, Coppens, Durante, Top feed, Multi feed, Aqua feed, Ranan, Vital feed. It is sickening that we have all sorts of people into the feed mill racketeering business taking advantage of the deficiency of the local feed mill sector due to poor effort divulged into feed mill research. That's why we have intensive fish produce of poor economic importance with vulnerability to carcinogenic effects on human consumption compared to the local breed and also why some people have difficulty ever achieving 4kg at 6 months if fish harvest but instead struggle for the target of 1kg and 2kg respectively before the end of 6 month. The fish I hold in the attached picture to this article is a 4.2kg size at 6 months harvest with a concrete stock capacity of 2,000 fishes using an inventive method of feed.

NOTE!! Our inventive method of fish feed can help you cut fish feed cost by over 60% giving you 3 times profit than the anticipated or regular profit made on cropping. For such info call in for such enquiry as we charge for such Knowledge.

Lack of parental care due to polygamy spotted.
Anyway nothing more should be expected from the 30th piglet of his family. Someone the father pig himself don't even know. All he knows is that the wife Number 5 has 12 piglets for him.



To Buhari, if after 2yrs u re still fighting to convince someone that u love him, that means ur hatred for the person is very obvious

+1000 likes.

argue with your actions instead of your words.- the 48 laws of power. I'm tired of the man and his useless campaigns.

who takes buhari and the APC government serious anymore?

seguno2:
According to some shallow nairalanders, it is about packaging in order to make people comfortable enough to trust you with their money so you can scam them.

unfortunately, there's some element of truth in what he wrote, Nigerians always self destroy themselves due to their tendency to live above their means.

bigeliot:
Fuel...300/letre....... Recharge card...+10/20......investors running....fulani idiots killing uppandan....president giving emotional speeches to attract pity......rochas statueing all his ancestors......atitu atikulating......pastors scaming....omo na to run commot fr dis kwantry na em remain.

at the rate things are going, Nigerians would soon flood countries like Benin, Togo, Ghana, Botswana, Angola, Uganda, South Africa etc in their millions as economic refugees.

ha ha,sai baba, sai chanji.

tosbobby:
Organisational standard matters.
standard private company would pay minimum of 1/4 of 1m as basic.
If you are a certified ICAN holder, you may not need to wait till a job opening is announced, what u need to also do is to go to web pages of high profile companies n submit ur profile.
With ICAN, KPMG need u die but they may want to consider age sha. In fact, as a staff of KPMG, the company pay for all ur ICAN exams and also pay some allowee for the matterials also organise classes before the exams at no cost. Only staff can enjoy this privilege.
Its also super okay when u apply as fresh graduate n then tender ur ICAN when the need comes up because of the variation in demands.
I discovered this high profile company
C & I Leasing PLC
Big but not alarming.

thank you and remain blessed, but what about the age issue?

Fchristo:
Salary is #189K

thanks for the answer.

ufotty2001:
being a chartered accountant in nigeria is over rated by ICAN meanwhile in the public they earn as low as 50-80k... Na ican just make the certificate look over hype.. the way the country is going to now this certification go be like tissue paper in the next 10years or ot will look like BSC...

wow,that's quite sad,so what would you suggest for young professionals.

GavelSlam:
Remuneration is rather low in the country but there are so many facets to why.

do you mind explaining more? thanks.

geostrata:
40k foundation
70k intermediate
over 100k professional

with experience over 150k and above

wonderful answer, thank you.

yeyerolling:
No such tin as starting salary for a chartered accountant. In big fours like pwc,kpmg nd others you get 120k-150k, in banks dey are treated as same with oda entry levels, some chartered accountants are contract staff in banks earning 50k-80k, some are full staff earning 120k-240k. In small audit firms 40-50k. For other industries if you have zero experience u get paid same as other entry level staff. NB- been chartered for 8 years

thank you and remain blessed.

Inyanga:
If I may ask, are you one? You don't really seem like one..

She is a stupid big capital okpokoro fool.
Why embarrassing him publicly,?
Even if she is not interested in marrying him, she would have pretended to say yes in public to avoid embarrassment and then call it off secretly with him.

God bless you but the guy is partly responsible for his misfortune.

Pepsi101:
To think that this Adesina is a pastor and spewing these rubbish is very disheartening.

This administration is very insensitive and bereft of management skillsets to run this country

I can't believe people are still deceived by those claiming pastors and imams.

eagleeye2:
Thank God I met you here.
Now, you see why we cannot look the other when Human rights are being violated? It doesn't matter if they are alleged suspected kidnappers/cultists or this girl. It's either you respect human rights or you don't. I am very sure that if this story had come out at the time of her arrest, some people will be asking why she associates with a cultist boyfriend.

most of the idiots supporting police brutality here to pain government online influencers,check out the thread on why the police shot suspects in the genitals and notice that the same monikers were making repeated posts in the first three pages I. support of the police.

SpecialAdviser:
You are a certified fool.

I support you %100, they're now blaming the victim.

Stylz69:
Ose sharp shooters!!! So they fired at you and your skilled marksmen decided to incapacitate them by shooting their “machine guns”. Tell me another lie!!! Our police are barbarians in uniforms!

some weeks ago,we read the news of ten young men freed by the court in Enugu after spending ten years in prison after over false accusation by SARS of been armed robbers.the lack of respect for the rule of law in this country is tears inducing.

the day that I accepted that Nigeria is hopeless, is the day such news stopped saddening and annoying me. God, please, help me to migrate out of this country.
