Don't start that which you can't finish. You don't want a situation whereby you're constantly looking over your should + getting dirty with people who other than their (miserable) life, have nothing to loose makes very little sense.

It could be difficult winning a battle where you are not just outNumbered, but don't know all your opponents. Any one of their friends or distant relative(s) could give you a shot while you're on the busStop and that alone, could isolate the issue making it nearly impossible to know the motive or perpetuators.

Funny enough, you still dey find how to get a gun, when your opponent(s) might already own gun(s).

To acquire a gun is very simple, either get one illegally / legally, or if you own the land and live there sometimes, you're automatically a member of the landLord association so you could join their Vigilante group (doesn't mean you must do the Vigilante sef so long you attend some of their meetings and pay your dues) and you would own a gun.

You're very correct, I've rated my priorities and my goal is to be fruitful in this jungle, I understand things will come to this stage and I've braced up my mental state never to be fingered, I've been having problems with the community since I came, the first person that made a similar move before me left abruptly only with a tent, his business was meant to be a garri processing plant then i came, had several problems from clearing tall palm trees by our boundary close to our structure (house), had problems making accessible road, several times I've seen charms hung close to my entrance and a lot more, many things ive experience were never told to my family, I just smile over them and remain focused on the goal, becoming one of them to get a dane gun is not an option, getting a pump action and get it licensed at a moment is considered a luxury especially when I have several things to resolve with money.

I understand I'm passing through a phase and becoming violent with the host will never resolve this phase rather than complicating it further.

Sukkyy2010:
I've watched your video, that attacked body part of the ram indicate Jaguar 🐆 is responsible for the attack. Jaguar is a giant wild cat looking like cheetah. It attack it prey from neck from behind just as leopard attack the neck and pluck out prey throat.

And to experience this brutal killing definitely your farm must be in a very thick jungle.

You're very correct sir, I'm alone here and its the middle of the jungle, if I'm able to get a drone, I would have shot an area video, the dude calling me coward can't spend a night here let alone setting up anything and guess what? When the community chased us from the mosque, we set up a tent to continue the project, that was in 2021. I'm emotionally more balanced for anyone to finger my mental state over what us replaceable.

lovediehatelive:
Please did you finally catch the predator? Did you find out which animal it is?

I put poison in some places within the farm and the predator are it then died and stopped coming, I was hearing a foul smell from the section of the jungle but didn't bother to check it out. Too busy with many things.

ford101:
oga it's true.its like you are not so good with the cutlass.i advice you to get a registered pump action.it ll be easier and some warning shots could go a very very long way to drive fear into the minds of the villagers.

You're correct and I believe everything comes in stages, I've discussed with my lawyer and I'm pleased to know that it doesn't come expensive to have a pump action, licensed it and easier to use.

Josbreed:
What killed your dogs?

We suspect over-eating of intestine/meat

marlow1962:
Nawa o, una get beef with the community?

Big beef bro.

fixedhollies:
Well done boss… everything is not by force. I like the way you are taking it easy. Look for the strong man in the community. Buy him to your side. Let him warn those idiots on your behalf.

I would suggest adult dogs. You can keep them in cages for like a month. They would have known you well. Release them at night.

This is exactly what I'm planning, I've met with the strongest man but he's not into the affairs of maintaining order in the community so he let me on what to do, he felt sad about the occurrence, I've planned to installed 3 streetlight and a solar-powered borehole as we are installing ours in the farm but it's all cancelled. We are installing a dog cage next.

Powersurge:
Bros don't mind the children calling you weak. You will come out of this stronger. You will defeat your enemies. And your ranch will become mega.

Amen, I believe.

Jollos:
U are a coward true true. Am sorry to tell you that, but is the fact. The day I caught one guy stealing my pig, the kind beating I gave him, if he steal again in his life, then is not ordinary eye.

Except u stole ur investment money and is nothing to u if everything is gone while u fold ur hand and watch.

Life is a battle, is either u won or u loose.

Is your pig located in the thick middle of the forest? Do you stay alone keeping your flocks? If the answer is no then your situation cannot be likened with mine and you may actually get away with any action you took.

Bobbiee:
Oga please don't disturb us with your problems again. If you're not ready to
1. Get the police involved or hire a detective
2. Install security dogs, warning motion sensors around the perimeter of your premises, or install covert CCTV cameras
3. Hold meeting with the village council to find out the source of the problem and see if it's something that can be addressed. Maybe the town would contribute money to buy back your farm and properties or they'll find the root cause of the problem and address it.

Stop crying on social media and expecting us to solve your problem. You're the only on that can solve it yourself.

Everything you mentioned don't come cheap while they are top of our priority. The last time Halima Abubakar cried like this on social media, you people donated over 2.5m

baralatie:
Hmmm!
I read where you said you encroached in neighbouring farms and it has not been settled?

Yes, I'm settling them once I'm able to sell the logs of firewood but I met with them, begged them to be patience with me, I've got firewood worth over 500k but since they've took action, I'll be giving them peanuts instead of settling them handsomely as I've initially planned while the rest money will go into restocking.

CallmeTrinity:
Do you take drugs sir? I will not have not and will never watch any of your videos.

Seems this whole thing was a marketing gimmick to push your low budget trashy YouTube channel ?

Idiot

Marketing gimmick? So you think I'll rather loose a selective flock of broad stock because of marketing? By drug, what do you mean?

CallmeTrinity:
I am not watching jack... Dude stop bothering me and go hunt down the those who wiped all your livestock.

Werey

So you've change the context from weak and coward to werey

Oya check this out, I promise you'll like it, it's about a wild animal that keep hunting our broad stock, can you guess which wild animal it is?

CallmeTrinity:
Oga come on gerrout from my mentions. Next time conserve the energy for those poisoning your flock and stop urinating on yourself.

Coward.

This is a post ranch poisoning video, it should calm your anger

CallmeTrinity:
Kai what a waste of a man... Hìtch arse weakling. Re you still seeking our sympathy for your uselessness? You have failed at even protecting your own flock now what do you want us to do?

Trance indeed.useless weak beta male ...
I am sure you are the sort of person who wakes up everyone in the house to tell them he is going to bed. Serves you right

Useless cutlass weilding coward

You keep repeating the same thing, agreed, I'm weak but show us your real life as a strong man or you're just strong behind the keyboard? Show us your evidence of survival as a strong person and I'll be willing to learn how to be a strong man like you.

The batcher beside the building in the video above is where I used to stay when the project was commencing in 2021 when me and my boys were chased out of the mosque building given to us. For a weak/coward man that would have been the end of the project, oya bleed me more of your emotions.

CallmeTrinity:
You are talking rubbish sir..dink some water and learn how to be a man. A coward dies a thousand times before his or her death ..
Die for something than live a life of a coward. Just read how pathetic your story is. Your neighbours poisoned your animals and you were too cowardly to confront them.


Then you know they were coming back yet you were too much a coward to even defendant he remaining animals..

So what are you coming here to do ? So we can endorse your cowardly stupidity?

Any sons you raise would be so useless as men . Is your type that give birth to gay men

Since you're not a coward, why are you then still living? Well if you're living by chance then show me the real you behind this faceless forum.

illicit:
You and ur dogs are cowards

Why stay awake all night to see something and do nothing

My dogs are still puppies, needless to say they are also dead too, but since you and Callie Trinity are just little boys who are yet to grow to have their emotional bubbles controlled, lemme feed you.

A coward don't stay alone in a jungle, a weak man don't own possession of over 10 acres of land with building & structures on it.

Every livestock lost is replaceable but a single act from me can cause a big set back for the project if not terminate it, a weak man will not think this way just because emotions don't rule us.

CallmeTrinity:
You are a coward , weak man and a coward 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


Foolish man confusing fear with spiritual advise. That was your cowardice talking ... Weak willed coward 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

You are a so weak and a coward. You know who is killing your flock and you are too much of a coward to defend your investment 🤣

Even the Nigerian law recodnizes self defense. The moment someone steps foot on your property and is killed the law recodnizes your right to defend your life and properly and won't persecute you so you are talking.trash..

You are just a coward who has been bullied and his investments wiped off because you are too weak and cowardly to pick up a machete and lay a trap...

Foolish man ,trying hard to make his cowardice look like a virtue ..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You can call me anything, it's a faceless forum but I'm not faceless while you are. It is my investment while I've not written anything about virtue, you don't know me enough to call me weak and even if you know me, you can't know me more than myself.

To God be the glory, if I be a weak man and coward could have a life, a verified asset, an investment and cropping up a business in a legal way, show me what a strong man like you has gotten.

This is what happens when a boy with a loosed temper thinks he's man enough to have a baby in his house. Now he will get to spend a long time behind bars.

After the second consecutive attack on our farm and I finally decided to find time to make an official report at the police station, a piece of advice the DPO gave after being briefed about our case keep ringing on my head, his words were "Mr. Oludipe, I've read your statement and I can feel how much labour you've poured into your project and the least expected is the current happening but you have to ensure that you don't take laws into your hand once the perpetrators are caught because it's dangerous to you and your project" which I replied with, Sir, it will only take the Grace of God for me not to take laws into my hand especially if the person is caught red handed then he smiled and truly, it took the Grace of God for me not to respond after the recent biological attack on our farm.

For those who has not been following, here is the link to the initial attacks https://www.nairaland.com/7411904/could-reason-why-farm-poisoned and the series of recent attacks started probably on the 25th of December 2022 and it was a planned attack. They made sure I had left the ranch for Christmas, their village is just by the main and only road and they knew my car and could also confirm if I am on the farm since I'm the only one that currently works here aside the fact that they are our neighbors next to us and could really get close and even sneak in closer to observe our far from a few distance without being noticed, that was the ploy used when our farm was first poisoned and our only crime is our animal graze on their farm.

initially I believed they are going to be asset and thought good things about them as I even plan for the farm, with solar powered irrigation, I've imagined how our irrigation system will power our farm and their for them to remain in business especially since they are pepper farmers and earns every 5 days but only during the rainy season while they're mostly jobless in dry season. But the truth is after I got closer to them, I see how massive their envy and jealous is. They are 3 in number, one Yoruba who happens to be their leader and two cotonue boys, their leader was born in 1985 (inscription from his stomach) while the two boys should be from mid 90s. They specialises in killing, kidnapping and murdering animals that grazes on their farmland but the community is getting wider and livestock are having access to farmland that are closer and while some close lands are being used to plant cocoa which income comes like twice in year, they are perennial farmers, plant corn, pepper and some tubers. Pepper for instance can be picked and sold every 5 days for 6months - 7months and that's having more than enough money to run a family, do village big boy and smoke some Igbo steadily.

So I approached them, apologize for the encroachment of their land, requested for what to pay which they turns dow, told them about our current difficulties, begged them to be patience as we solve those difficulties and promised to settle them better as we've started settling every farmers from the proceed of logs of wood that we have. at that time, we have over 5 acres of land under a very thick forest with over an half a million naira estimate in terms of the firewood. There are 3 farmers in close proximity and settling everyone of them with good amount from the log proceed is never a problem.

So fast forward to the recent attack, I left the farm on the 24th December 2022 at around 9:15pm, reason is to ensure that my car is not seen because I envisage the attack after our animals graze again on their farm. We are in the height of dry season and we don't have a fodder yet while we can't also keep them on dried cassava peels. The shee all that had already pregnant and had never graze outside our farm are left to graze everyday while the goats graze once in every 3 days just to help their rumen remain in good ph. But to goats, plants like cassava leaves smells like the way jollof rice would smell to human. After they finished the cassava leaves on our farmland I reduced their grazing to once a week and it's always monitored, I go out with them and ensure they don't leave my sight but they are not satisfied, I never knew they've pulled a prison break on me until after the 3 day so they've grazed 2 full day outside the guided perimeter without knowing until my attention was called that they are grazing outside and i have to look closer at their house and blocked the exit. I went to see our neighbors on the 23rd December 2022, begged them, asked for what we should pay which the insisted nothing and reiterate on the logs we intend to settle everyone but forgiveness is not in their book which made me understand that there is more to their action beyond the plant that was grazed on.

None of the animals were sick before I left but by the time I came back on the evening of 26th December 2022 after spending nights consecutively with my family for the first time since August 26th that we've been here, I resumed to sick animals, a pregnant nursing mother sheep and a weaned young ram. They are just unable to walk and I thought it was because they haven't grazed since straight 48hrs because I left a strict warning never to let loose the animals while I left enough food both cassava peels and formulated feed.

And by the morning of 27th, they are dead. Both! But we are still in the mood of celebration, I palm it, processed both, the matured was roasted and the baby for our dogs. Not until the death toll reaches 4 with the same style of death starting from disoriented walk to loss of appetite, inability to walk then bloat and death. I sat to tackle the initial sickness that resembles listeriosis (lack of calcium), called our feed supplier and told me it's not from the feed, he had the courage to say so after the death toll reaches 4 and I believed because he's a professional and I've also gave them calcium gluconate injection, then the next that came to my mind is why would a bloat not go? I've rescued more than 4 animals since we came and by the following day they are ok so why would a bloat automatically leads to death? So I thought of post mortem.

All these animals are healthy before I left, we are in the dry season and there are hardly bloat causing plant so something else is affecting the rumen so I went to check where I emptied the rumen of the recent animal and viola I saw the foreign object that blocks the rumen and put more weight on their lover body that then causes the disoriented walking before finally bloating which is the last stage before death. A circle that leads to death no matter what I do to save them.

I knew it was an attack and since it's the only sheep that are the victim because they are allowed to graze outside, I thought about checking their grazing route and by the time the death toll reaches 7 with the same death pattern and even after they are no longer allowed. to graze outside I knew the it's their house and viola I saw 2 of the bait. A twine cut into pieces and knotted them soaked. Twine are fibres, ruminants likes fibers and the oil makes it more palatable in their mouth till the swallow and get stuck in their stomach.

Now our flock has reduced, to just 3 animals, a mother, a child and a father (ram). I was calling places to keep them just to save them but no one is available then I said to myself tonight, I'll be watching over them disrespect of how tired I would be, but my spirit says no I shouldn't because it's not as if I don't know the perpetrators but the thought sounds foolish and I discarded it, I brace up myself but the thought still coming back and I keep discarding it so I went to bed earlier, set my alarm and started thinking about best place to stay till it's 3am when cock crow then I stood up and was led to a portion at the back of the goat house close to the boundary river, as I laid carefully, that thought came again and said "you're making a mistake, this is not your battle and if you fight it you will loose", I asked why and the spirit said the perpetrator would never have expected me to be around least alone have cutlass with me and by the time I caught him i wont be able to curtail my anger and a single strike is all it takes rubbish all my efforts, labor and dreams about the project and also probably be behind bars then the DPO will remind me of his fatherly words we had in his office. It was the Grace I asked for that was speaking to me since the moment I conceived the thought to catch the perpetrator.

At about 4:15am, January 11 Wednesday 2023 after being in trance for almost 40 minute, the person came, saw our dogs by the river, chased them as they came to our land, never knew they followed me and he also crossed to our land, heads straight to the back of the goat house and within few seconds, he's back to the river, wet his pepper and left.

Now when he crossed and heads to the goat house, the spirit that was talking to me was silent, I had an option of turning on the light and I wanted to but my heart raced into other few actions that would have followed after switching on the lamp, I'll have stood up, held the machete and swing from his neck downward to his chest and that would have been the end. I saw it but Grace withered my whole body from acting. When he went back to the river to water the pepper that same spirit asked again " is this who you wanted to be fighting?, is this who you would have risk aborting the project for?" I said no, he is not worth it, nothing is worth it.

I stood up minutes after he left, heads to the goat house but sadly the last mother sheep has eaten the knotted twine he three bringing the total victim of the biological attack on our farm to 9 pregnant sheep and a ram.

At the moment, we have completed our irrigation casting and covered the are with chainlink net. Here is the video of our irrigation system

Very insightful, I learnt something today.

Thanks for the head up

You're welcome

rainmoredays:
Just being curious sir,

How/why will a goat or sheep eat a twine. Or perhaps maybe I don't know why a twine is

Twine is just a regular role used to tie animals but when it's cut into piece, tied into small knot and soak into oil, it becomes a very dangerous biological weapon to sheep and ram.

This is just the ripples of what is coming by the time the new administration takes over and necessary actions are not taken to douse the effect of the last 8 yrs of the current administration. People will vex at the slightest provocation, they will take an overly measures to tackle simple issues that dialogue would have resolved.

Brace yourself up for the coming days.

The last 4 weeks has been rather stressful, the stress nearly ran me mad because starting from Dec 26th till middle of January, someone from our host community keep sneaking into our farm to drop a twine soaked with palm oil and once our sheep or ram eat such twine, that's their end. The incident coincide with the construction of our 5,000 litre irrigation system which has a quite number of professionals working on it while I act as both the engineer on supervision as well as the labourer.

The continuous attack on our flocks was targeted to frustrate our efforts in here but God pass them. Ironically, these people would have been the biggest beneficiary of everything we're doing over here but black mentality would only make them see us as a threat and a rival.

What do you think about the design?

You boyfriend has 3 kid. How old is you?

Jeweltz:
This guy has been all about virginity and virginity since we start talking. This is a guy that might've had uncountable sex with all sort of women in America o. Now he comes and he said he love his wife a Virgin. I only ever had about two sexual experience with men . Never seen a grown man obsessed about virginity like that

Just 2? Buy tightening cream and other virgin kit

Can you set this up in our farm?

Thank you for your support one way or the other.

Here is our lowest point this year in footage.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oHg6IptPlM
A twin attack that almost wipe off our flock.

Another lowest point is the constant attack by a wild animal which has since stopped after poisoning some location we suspect the predator lives.

There are several high point but I'll just mention few which include barricading the livestock which is ongoing as well as our 6000 litter irrigation capacity which is as well ongoing.

We thank you all for your love and care during our downtime, we thank Seun and all the moderators who made it possible for our efforts right in this jungle known through this forum.

Thanks and God bless
