We also line earthen ponds and water reservoir with tarpaulin to prevent the loss of water in areas with porous soils.

Kiki now at 7 months


Anywhere I seat, they come and seat with me.

Kiki still bullies Kenya even though all the chain breaking suggest that Kenya is stronger than Kiki.

They are both trained and listen to commands.

They know

1. Come
2. Seat
3.Down
4. Stay
5. Go (they would go to their different chill zones - I dont have a cage for them)

and leave me alone

That's because I have a snooker table in my compound and whenever I'm shooting pool they want to come and play with me and lick my feet...No ! Leave me alone

agarawu23:
how much is nutriola and what's the probability of growing faster with this particular food?

I bought it 6k o...it says chicken and rice on the bag as it's main ingredient. I think it likes it, because I use the pellets as treats when I'm training the dog.

Officialgarri:
I don't think the dog is growing at all

Maybe the picture isnt doing her justice...

I also got Kiki this supplements. She takes 1 per day.

Picture 1: The supplements I used for Kiki. I also bought the same for Kenya.

Picture 2: Kenya...first of her name, the breaker of chains...leader of the free world. Kenya has broken more than 4 chains. She would break it and then bring it to show me that it has broken. I'm like, The essence of keeping you in chains is for you to stay there, not for you to break the chains.

Yeah, I dont have cages for my dogs. The only time I chain them is when I have guests around. They dont like guests

Picture 3: Anywhere I seat in the compound, they would come and seat with me.

I changed the meal to Nutriola and Compounded feed.

I want her to be as big as possible, I hope I can get her that big if I stick to this diet ?

So I use 1 cup of the compounded feed and one cup of this Nutriola. Morning and evening.

I used Booster for Kenya. With chicken bum for a while...

Later I reverted to my cheap compounded feed

Initially she used to eat bread,milk and egg...

But I figured I need her to bulk up ! So I changed the diet.


First Picture: Kiki at 1 weeks in the house (March 2019)

Second Picture: Kenya at 2 weeks in the house (November 2019)

Third Picture: Kiki and Kenya are eyeing you.


Edit 1: So I started of feeding both dogs with bread egg and milk. After 2 weeks, I switched to Nutriola for Kiki that time, but I used booster for Kenya. That Booster was so expensive mehn ! I used only one bag and switched to my secret formula...�. I'm a fish farmer, so I know how to 'grow' an animal cheaply. Even my Vet agree say the dogs dey come out well.

So I decided to keep a pet...and an online diary for her as well...

Kiki is the Alsatian. Kenya is the Rott.

So here is Ki-Ki. Very agile and Smart. She knows when I don't like something she did.

Kiki is an Alsatian. I'm thinking of getting another one. Maybe a rott or a boerbel.

Edited 1:

First Picture: Kiki the day she came into my life. March 2019.

Second Picture: Kiki patrolling the compound. No lizards or any living thing allowed on the premises.

Third picture : Kiki @ 7months. There's this football field in my area, I stroll to watch their matches in the evenings and Kiki likes to come and watch too. It also helps her to see many people walking around so she's comfortable with people outside.

Fourth Picture: Kiki (1 year old plus) and Kenya (8 months old as at the time of that picture). I'm grateful I got Kiki before Kenya, Kiki is not as strong and fierce as Kenya , but because she was bigger when I got Kenya, Kenya dey fear her.



Edit 2:

So I eventually got a Rott. Her name is Kenya...and she turned out to be such a beauty. Fierce, Committed and just beautiful. When I walk her on the road like this...see the stares and affection. I think she enjoys it sef

Wow !

Now with data like this you can do research for many things from migration patterns of birds to climate change effects on animals e.t.c

Am sure one animal scientists somewhen would be grateful for such data.

Slayar:
I invested in BTD Multiglobal Ltd along with about 8000 investors, this company claimed to do a sort of mutual funds which they claimed 100% insurance for first time investors and 50% insurance for other investors in the event of loss of funds. Guess what? When the problem started ,the company wasn't even registered, I lost N500,000 .The case is with EFCC currently.

Me too.

1.4 million.

I only invested after 2 of my trusted guys had been investing with them for over 2 years.

I first did 200k. Withdrew it. Then 600k. Then 800k.

It pained me and took me to ground zero, had to shut down some of my farms. I'm a fish farmer.

But God dey.

There's nothing we lost that we don't have the capacity to recover.

RevT1:
Maybe u should add pictures of these different sizes for easier comprehension.
I am interested in getting one.

Most times the sizes can be 'customised' based on your stocking density.

habadesh:
what size of galvanized iron will be used for the frame

Most times it's 2mm pipes that are used.

But I think the frames are one of the most important parts of the fish pond.

See how this ones are filled to the brim with water ?

AnthonyAk:

I WANT TO LEARN PRATICALLY WHICH FARM WILL I VISIT

Anyone and 'ALL' you desire !

jaxxy:
I know they are not scammers cos even banks do forex bt banks use safe business modules. These guys take more risks and yet pay out ridiculous interests rates to customers which can not possibly be sustained. That’s just what happened. Poor risk assessment.

Reading it all now I think these guys where not even highly experienced for what they were handling. U lost sm funds and cos ure under pressure to pay crazy rates kept gambling and loosing more funds by taking more ridiculous risks

I concur. One bad thing was how they falsely assured us that the funds were insured. That was the clincher for me...coupled with the fact that they had 'successfully' run for years.

Samsam27:
If you lose 2 billion you might change your mind about running... just saying

Let's hope not

This people did me bad...

Went for thier meeting in Ife...and listened to the young men, sound guys from what I noticed, and they stressed that they weren't an MLM scheme, but traded with the funds on binary options and what have you...they had been running for 2 years before I put my cash...

Alas ! They ran away...maybe they lost the money truthfully, but they should have been bold enough to stand up and face the truth. I've lost money in my own ventures too, but I didn't run away.

Cassie74:
Made in Nigeria good feeds like.....

I'm sorry, I am not a marketer, and the feeds company have not paid me for advert....yet

But if you walk into your local feed store close to you and ask for the prices of the feeds available, I am sure you'll find those made in Nigeria feeds. They are quite popular now because 'almost' everyone is switching....

Dayssie08:
Please am interested in starting the business small, i have already bought a tarpaulin pond prior to this time but am having financial challenges of how i would feed the fishes when i bring them in. So now I want to reduce the quantity of fish and start small 08102194949

That's very good Dayssie, I always recommend starting small. There is no point raising fish and being stranded for feeds later. Always start with what you'll have money to finish. Right now, with the advent of some good made in Nigerian feeds , it is safe to budget between 450-500n to raise 1 fish to 1kg.

imatalks:
my farm consultant has warned me severally about purchasing a trampoline tank because of Babylonian rat that could eat them up. please respond

No sir , they won't eat them up. If you leave small water inside the pond, nothing would happen to it. If the pond is empty, it might be affected.
