Na food and to carry plate da beg up and down dem sabiiiii

you think it's by your power you were not born in the north to unfortunate parents ba. May you never be tested

mykelmeezy:
the fact remains Nigeria has a bigger stake to lose here generally compared to SA


if dstv go you bbn fans will have to go back to pornhub ya know

leave dat thing
That rubbish star times, TVc and other satellite TV companies will buy the rights to show those programs

[quote author=nurey post=54005089]That's what am saying, the lagoons won't work, the fish needs salty water so you have to go through beach. The last time I checked, all the beach in Nigeria are privately owned
[/quote ]

When were akwa ibom or ondo or ogun or ph or Bayelsa beaches privatised
Lagos is not the only beachy coastline Mr know it all

Also if the beach permission is given, you need to site your water tank far off shore, the last time I checked you need a permit from the Nigerian Navy to go that far offshore, you need to rent/lease the sea, your own transportation vessel for food, medicine etc. All this can be done but it is either you pay for it or press button the naija style.

The same Nigerian Navy that can not stop sea pirates abi
The ocean is a very large place my friend
You can start now and pay later or just move around
[quote]Now oil and plastic, shows you don't buy Nigeria to grow Nigeria if you actually buy local fish caught in the sea or reared in the lagoon (makoko people) you will know what I am talking about.
[/quote ]
and you my friend are pretending like you're not a Nigerian
Where ppl dug up buried bird flu chicken
Is it oil and plastic that will starve them
Abeg talk something serious

[quote]Now you talk about local consumers, you very funny last time I checked cat fish is more nutritious and has better value than the mackerel in fact you can buy 2 mackerel with the price of one cat fish.

[/quote ]



My point exactly
Why buy cater when mackerel is cheaper
Abi you think say everyone get moni like you


[quote]Also you said to hell with international market, shows you don't know the power of agribusiness instead of agriculture. If I was rearing mackerel and it is sold at 2dollar 50cent to international market and I have to sell at 300naira at local market, do you think I won't prefer the dollar?
At 320 naira to a dollar my mackerel goes for 800naira,so if I could make more, why will I settle for less.
[/quote ]



We cant feed ourselves yet you're worried about int'l market
And if int'l market is willing to pay more then I don't see the problem
You're only worried when int'l market can out produce you and crash price not when they pay more


[quote]Also on this point have you been patronize by a middleman in Nigeria, I guess not because the way they price your product like tomorrow will not come is appalling

time to sell directly to consumers
If you have enough to start a giant project like thirty have enough to market direct to consumers.
And if it's too hot for you, get the fork out the kitchen and allow serious ppl see road (figure of speech, not you personally)

Etranshub:
@ smoking your own catfish means value adding to your harvest which gives you more than 100% profit on your investment if you are selling locally and more if you are considering exportation but just smoking your catfish is not enough for the export market as you have to make sure your fish is smoked and packaged in a very hygienic environment and also the level of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)is less than 5mg/kg of the product. Else the product will not be allowed into places like US and EU where you have large populations of customers for the product. PAH can be prevented to the bearest minimum by using the right desight of smoking kiln and the right power source (sawdust and firewood is a no no) call 08167488947 or email olowaolugbenga@gmail.com for the design of smoking kiln with temperature gauge, automatic oil and moisture collector, racks on roller etc

what smokes without smoke. Dried fish is not same as smoked fish

Kondomatic:
All those idiots shouting religion is our problem will never show on this type of post.

it is one of our major problems

[quote author=nurey post=53976794]very funny, seems you dont know the kind of law we run in Nigeria, you think you can just carry canoe/boat any how in Nigerian waters, we have inland water ways security (police) their head quaters in lagos is close to military hospital Ikoyi.
[/quote ]

It's Nigeria
Anything goes
Shoot everything goes
How many canoe police get
Police can be bribed
Ocean is not inland waterways

the mackerel grows in salty ocean water not river or lagoon.
[/quote ]

Duh?
[quote]Besides have you seen the water close to Nigerian shores, is that the kind of water you want to grow your own mackerel?

[/quote ]

What's wrong with the water
What's the difference with the picture I sent
[quote]prepare to be selling fish with plastic, dirt and oil (petrol, diesel, engine oil)found inside, [/quote ]

What oil plastic in Lagos lagoon
[quote]i dont think the international market will buy from you as quality is compromised.

We have about 200 million hungry consumers
What the f do we need international (further 600 million in Africa)
To hell with white man
[quote]The documentary i watched was an offshore farm tank in a building not open sea water.

Hmmm
Building
On water
Gotta love the white man

nurey:
This would have been nice but remember he would need the Atlantic Ocean for it. With our stupid maritime law, the way things work in this country, he would have to settle a lot of pockets, do a lot of paper and leg work, in fact it would be better to just build a offshore farm tank

which permit
Who go hold am.
Our brown water Navy?
Or who.
Besides if he has enough to do what I am seeing in those pictures then he has enough to do the needful.
Or do you get land for fishpond or farming for free ?

Youngzedd:
There's this fish they sell in the market, it's called horse. I have been wondering if any fish farmer is into it.

I have researched and I haven't found anyone into such fish specie.

Do you have any clue on how to rear such fish and where to get it?

capital intensive but possible to raise marine species

Much of the power infrastructure had already been privatized long before Rocket scientist showed up, so it isn't his fault, his ministry is directly responsible only for transmission

For generation to improve, and by extension for us to get light 24/7, we need to get up to 80000mw...which means millions of billions of dollars. And we have to replace the transmission system too.

Hence Gej privatizing the whole thing.

he can build industrial parks to take load off the grid while powering industry

Can also finance solar wind or hydro on lease to individuals so they pay ''mortgage ''

He can enforce distribution of meters to stop easy money of estimated bill which will force improvements in generation

Jacksparr0w127:
As citizens, what do we even stand to benefit from this government? Security, they can't provide. Job, they can't give. Water, story for another day. Power they can't. Good roads, no hope. Housing, no hope. Even fuel that we have in abundance, they still can not make it available

We provide everything for ourselves. Why then do we even need government?

The only thing they've got for us is hardship hardship hardship

what have you done to change it

9jakohai:
Good idea

But a windmill works only if the wind is constant.

Which is why big windmills are built by the seaside for example.

Solar is still a good alternative

no sun at night, banker!

Nukualofa:
LASG will come and collect miney for windmill permit

that's how you know revolution is imminent

grammy:
Is there truly a demand for agricultural products in large quantities like cassava, maize, wheat and soybean in Nigeria? I have seen many topics here talking about how profitable agriculture is in Nigeria and how agriculture is the next big thing for Nigeria.

But then the question is why are farmers complaining that there is no read market for their products, why are many farmers so broke they cannot even afford to buy tractor or farming equipment on installment.

The truth is that in any business you only make money after you make a sale, so if you are not selling then you are not making money and if you are not making money, it is only a matter of time before you will leave or go bankrupt with the business, which means either you like it or not, the business will die out.

The reason why oil was booming for a long time is simply, there is a ready market market for oil, even if you steal it; someone at the other end is willing to pay you for it and will not care where or how you got it. So for any business to be viable there must be a market for it. Is agriculture is truly the next big thing for Nigeria, then where is the market (point of sales) for the product. If there is truly a reasonable demand for our agricultural products, then you will improvement in that sector as more and more smart people come into the industry.

One case i have noticed is how people write blogs all over the internet about how cassava farming is very profitable and then you look at the cassava farmers and their story is the opposite, after all the stress of planting and using manual labor (which i believe is the wrong method) to plant their crops, at the end of the harvest they cannot sell at reasonable price because nobody wants their crops. They have enough to make fufu and garri and then what happens to the excess. That is why you cannot convince a farmer to expand his farm because he knows and thinks he is fine with the little he manages, so where is the room for commercial farming.

In 2012 i tried farming, i invested into cassava and maize farming, i got a manager to handle the farm for me starting with one hectare; we were planning of moving to 10 hectares and i was ready to start pumping in the money when i decided to pay the farm a visit. I came down to Nigeria and i meet with my farm manager and decide to see the farm.

When i got to the village where my farm was, what i saw was amazing (in a bad way). I could not believe people were still using manual labor to farm, so i asked if there was a way to get tractors and other farming equipment, to my surprise the answer was NO. There are tractors at the government house in Oyo state, but as usual it is for decoration.

To cut my long story short, i believe that if there exist truly a high demand for cash crops in Nigeria, then we would not need to advertise and beg people to go into farming, you will see how able people will venture into this industry, it is simple logic.

If anyone knows about companies that have demands for either maize, cassava, wheat or soybean kindly correct me and prove me wrong either in Nigeria or abroad.

NB: Maize is on the prohibition list of the Nigerian Custom, so if we cannot export corn, so what will i do with my 10 tons of corn after harvesting and i need money to replant for the next season.

maize etc expensive
Caused by high demand low supply
Farmers are poor because they are low producing
They can't afford tractor cos they are poor
Tractor costs 5 to 6 mill
Farmers only farm 1 acre of land
Why don't you buy (even tokunbo) and rent out to them

Chicybez:
INNOVATION NAIRALANDERS... package our local garri like this, u will definitely sell

only lekki and asokoro ppl buy this

Tazmode:
Good good


That Ikoyi supermarket should be searched again for any other substandard products. If it can house unauthorized and unacceptable garri, then there may be other fake goods


In short, lock the place up until the search is complete

who authorised the garri you eat normally wey fly de perch on top

Rtopzy:
They've swung into action, Nigeria is not a dumping zone for garbage. Nice one.

how is garri garbage
