ARE FARMERS RICH?
www.myagricworld.com
Can Agricultural Business or farm work Alone make you wealthy As Dangote/Adenuga

If you go into agriculture from the scratch with little capital as will have said, in NIGERIA? You would even be struggling to pay your bills talk less of living above average, talk less of becoming a millionnaire and talk less of being a Dangote and Adenuga, Who told u those 2 guys are farmers in the 1st place? www.myagricworld.com
You will be making common mistakes if you call Dangote a farmer, Dangote is an Agri-businessman not a farmer.... to view know my opinion on this Question... visit the link below www.myagricworld.com ..
i render consultancy service for any intend agribusiness. mainly AGRONOMY..no livestock I also help my client prepare a comprehensive feasibility study on their intend project.
i also training my clients on how to multiply plaintain/banana suckers, maize breeding, vegetable farming.. Not theory oooo.. Praticals
you can mail me on dotmoth4life@gmail.com

see this deluded laptop farmer. I really doubt if u have a farm.
how do u expect to train pple who u already claim have little capital? so u want them to give u the very little they have in the name of ur so called training abi na consultancy?
it is ur type that leaves investors bankrupt after exhausting their little savings on a failed project. the worst part is that u will always provide a reason that will vindicate u and put the blame on the investor.

summary.......? take ur advert elsewhere!!

My brother, that was during our mother's time.Where I come from, as an igbo gurl, my father made sure he slaved to give me the best, despite the fact he is not a graduate. I CAN NOT MARRY A MAN THATS LESS THAT MY FATHER. I CAN NOT EAT THERE SQUARE MEALS IN MY FATHERS HOUSE, ONLY TO EAT ONCE A DAY IN MY HUSBAND S HOUSE.THATS ILL LUCK.I should be the one earning that kind of amount to support my husband, and not him.Its not a sin o, but it's way below what I grew up with despite we weren't rich.BROS, ONCE AGAIN HOLY GHOST FIREEEEE! !

dis girl sef!!!!!!
Ur drama in every thread is just too much. Lolz

hotmas911:
we spent #18,700 per acre

Hotmas911, after all said and done, notwithstanding YOUR "perceived" beef between u and I, I must say that as long as the all important top soil is left unharmed, then u did a very good and cost effective job of clearing a virgin forest at that price per acre. congrats!!!

ol boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! farming is very expensive oooo. especially at the start up phase.

anyway sha, my personal doubts about partnering with u still dey. but like I said, it is just personal to me.

Emmafrancis:
Punchman has finally punched a sac of nails. That picture was not what the reporter made it seems. The man just wanted a private discussion with the govs wife and nothing more. You don't go embarrassing people and expecting them to clap for you.
.
Now the reporter is goin further by embarrassing the police commissioner by publishing their conversation.
.
Don't get me wrong I am not supporting the threats and the outburst of the CP. But the Punchman is just looking for trouble left, right and center.

[size=13pt] the reporter is an attention seeking, money hungry, half illiterate, non professional and biased idi.ot. He is getting what he deserves. Nobody will protect him[/size]

kennygee:
They don't speak for all women.

If you check well, most of them are unemployed.

I'm not generalising on dia actions either.
All am saying is dat no guy will give benefits to a girl from whom he is getting nothing. Especially if he is not the only guy in d girl's life

kennygee:
You think all women are parasites like the fleas dog carry?

my dear, if u really watched dat video, u will notice that all the girls expect benefits from having more than one boyfriend.

so what exactly is the point of ur question?

kennygee:
There is nothing wrong now, as long as y'all don't have anything sexual going on.

So that girl wey fix eyelash like winch wey say "As many as Possible" too get plenty BF?

And many Fine good girls are struggling to find one.

I cannot resist quoting u.
pls tell me. why wud I have a girlfriend who expects benefits from me yet we dont have "anything sexual" going on?

I hate to inform u............but that strain of the M.U.GU virus in men is now as extinct as the small pox disease.

all4naija:
Yes, I can. If only I am impotent or she is my sister.

Sory. But please why wud u be naked with Ur sister? Cuddling or no cuddling?

Are we still in d garden of Eden?

Ikenna351:
So the same way you drive when you have a tyre blowout and brake hard in the city, its the same way you drive when you experience the same on highway?

The same way you drive bumper to bumper in the city (which 70% of Nigerians are guilty of in the city), is the same gap one should give other vehicles on highway on high speed?

So the same way you would swerve in the city to avoid jumping potholes or hitting objects, is the same way one should swerve when on highway and on highspeed and sees a big pothole or swerve to avoid bush meat that ran out suddenly from bush?

So the same way you would drive while negotiating a corner/bend in a city, is the same method one must apply when negotiating a bend on high-speed on highway?

So the same way a vehicles suspension and brakes would generally behave in the city, is the same way the vehicle would do on high-speed on highway?


Federal Road Safety Commission really need to take the testing of drivers driving skills before issuing new Driver's Licences and renewing the expired ones, seriously. Because the cause of high rate of death on our highways is so pronounced in this thread.

Ikenna

i will just quote u and say nothing else cos u don talk am finish.

interstate/ intercity driving is another ball game altogether. anyone who does not realise it might be looking at a very short lifespan especially on naija roads.

most importantly, pray hard before driving on the highway. witches from the village are looking for exactly such opportunity to flex dia muscles.

I just lost an office colleague this morning due to accident on the owerri - PHC road. from what I gather, the accident was entirely no fault of his.

diddydiva:
eyah.

always walk and sleep with you legs wide open

come thank me later

i hate ungrateful beings

hahahahaha

If u were a guy and just made d above comment, I wud have concluded dat u have other intentions. Especially on d coming back to thank u part

WHY ARE THIS IGBO'S HELL BENT ON SUFFERING FOR NOTHING

THIS PEOPLE'S SUPPORT FOR GEJ IS HAUNTING THEM BADLY. THEY CAN HARDLY FEED NOR SURVIVE BUT INSTEAD OF VOTING FOR A CHANGE THEY PREFER TO SHOUT GEJ TILL 2019 WHILE THEY SELL THEIR CHILDREN TO MAKE A LIVING

THE WORSE CRIMES EMANATES FROM THEIR REGION. THEY ARE ON DEATH ROW ALL OVER ASIA FOR DRUG OFFENSES, THEY PIRATE PEOPLE'S HARD WORK IN ALABA JUST TO PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE.

IGBO'S ARE TRULY DRAGGING NIGERIA BACKWARDS.

SAI BUHARI

I wud have been really surprised if I finish reading page 1 without seeing a tribalistic and bigoted comment.

Nairaland I hail thee

The guy is just trying to gather enough mentions in his profile. Please u guys shud stop quoting him

Coldplay007:

I don carry my busybody come here...
I was quietly enjoying this thread till you came over to derail it with your pointless beef and envy....
Do you know what it is called?...

CRAB MENTALITY..
Wanting to pull someone down because you are envious of their success..7.

I think I will just rest this issue. Just like an old Igbo adage says, "opinions and thoughts are like personal hand luggage. Everyone carries his own"
So if it is Ur opinion that I make my comments out of envy rather than a genuine intention of ascertaining d credibility of a personality I hope to deal with one day, then it is just Ur opinion and u can carry it with u.

Meanwhile, I will keep visiting the agric section of NL, learning new things everyday while at d same time trying to be very wary of questionable personalities in my quest to take a leap into agri business in d nearest future.

zimoni:
Let me contribute regarding payment to the operator and diesel.

We are currently constructing access roads for our estate at Kurudu. We hired some machines from a company, they gave us the operators. We are paying the operators daily and also buying diesel for the machines. I think it depends on the agreement with the lease company.

Oga hotmas, please ignore anyone who may want to provoke you. You promised to give us breakdown when you are done with the clearance on sunday or monday.

Patiently following the thread.

God Bless Us All.

world1:
You can also pay for everything incase you don't have time or vehicle to carry diesel to and fro the farm.
This arrangement is the best once you paid them theirs is to do the 8hrs for you no complaints.
If you decide to be supplying them diesel they believe you want to play smart so the operator will either burn off the fuel by over firing the machine.

Reasonable comments. Learning somethings I never knew before.
Last time we hired a bulldozer to clear our street, we just paid d rental fee and d rental company bore EVERY OTHER COST
It was early dis year. We paid 50k a day

PapaBrowne:
He has nothing to prove to you. He has dealt with lots of people here and his credibility is obvious. Plus he is not even trying to sell anything on this thread , so what the heck!! People like you just feed on envy. And it is obvious in your comments. You are probably wondering to yourself how such a young man is able to pull as much success in "little Ogbomosho" when you in "Almighty Lagos" is having a struggle.
Fact is the way we think affects the quantum of success we achieve. Skeptics and pessimists never succeed beyond average. And the simple reason is risk taking is usually the most important element of success.
Stay where you are and keep learning from your bitter experiences while Hotmas911 builds out the best Agri Centre in Africa".

Wow!!!
Something is not right here. We all use pseudonyms and monikers on NL so I can't rule out d possibility dat dis is still hotmas911 talking.

His reluctance to address or counter simple straightforward issues I raised shud raise alarm in d minds of proper reasoning pple. What is d big deal in addressing d issues and convincing me rather than making subtle attacks on my person.
I tot a good businessman or marketer (since he mainly sells land) makes all efforts to convince prospective clients by responding to all reasonable enquiries no matter how crude or controversial it is in presentation.

When u try to push away questions or digress to other talks irrelevant to d issue at hand, pple naturally become suspicious.
Please be reasonable. Dia is nothing envious in my comments neither is dia anything to be envious about. I'm not a land seller, I'm not yet a farmer (although intending to be and looking for credible contacts to deal with), I don't live in ogbomosho or lagos. So what exactly shud make me envious? I dont even know u or hotmas911 in person.
I'm doing well enough on my own while looking for trustworthy pple to deal with in my desire to enhance my life by going into agriculture. It is dis quest for credible pple dat makes me examine every prospect I come across, (especially on an online forum like NL) very thoroughly while praying dat such prospect wud convince me enough to invest my hard earned cash.

missjenna:
This is why I love Genevieve.
After 17years she has succeeded in maintaining her body shape and general physique.
Unlike her friend who has become what Igbos will call "akpa akpu"

Its evident in the photo.
Genevieve even looks more slimmer and prettier than she was back then

Before people will criticize me for my comment on the friend, please note that the fact that you are married with kids, doesn't mean that you shouldn't take care of yourself

I have seen women who are married with kids but still maintain their body fitness
An example of such women is Omotola Jalende

By the way, happy birthday to her friend

@missjenna, I notice that ur profile pic speaks in direct contrast to ur comments above.

I wonder if ur actual picture will support ur comment. can u upload it?

by the way, team slimfit girls for me........................... although that is only on paper. in reality, I can make do with plumpy (but not fat) girls. my wife is plumpy after child birth.

hotmas911:
if you have any issue with me bring it here. this is not your first and i still remember the first time you came attacking and for those who don't know your history with me i think i should pull them here from this link https://www.nairaland.com/1998205/farmers-lets-see-farm-post#28032085




hahahaha what if you are wrong?



because you are used to seeing farmers sweating in dirty clothes
You will also have the same 'serious feeling' about Dangote being a farmer. I farm in the order of the Dangotes






so what exactly is your headache?

hey bro!!, I have no personal issues with u.
why don't u view my comments (or attacks as u call them) as an opportunity for u to once more prove ur credibility for the benefit of some of ur future but very skeptical clients?

u see, money is not easy to make. I was brought up and also learnt from bitter experiences to look very closely before giving it out.

hotmas911:
honestly you are right in your summary. You did a great a job summarizing your ignorance. You successfully proved you know it all and are too proud to learn.
I can take anything, but never call my Ogbomoso a village again. What you know is what you know. What you don't know, you don't know.

As usual, u fail to address d issues on ground. Ur dodgey manner of response suggests dat one shud look well before doing biz with u.
Sory, when I say ogbomosho is a village, I do not mean d area is undeveloped. I only mean dat d farm is located in a rural area.

But please keep dat aside and address other issues I have raised. Pls try to base Ur arguments purely on d merits of each point.

hotmas911:
Cost and expenses so far:
Bulldozer hire for 10 days 600k
680 litres of diesle at #135 per litre 91,800
Cost of low bed trailer to and fro 100k
Operator 5k for 8 hours
Transportation of Diesle to farm 6500

Those are the ones I have on record for now. Will update when I'm back from farm today.

Am still reading comments but I have some observations.
Why wud u pay 60k for a bulldozer and still buy diesel and pay for d operator?
Why shud a bulldozer cost 60k a day in a village like ogbomosho when it goes for abt 50k a day in d townships especially when u are booking multiple days and d owner will still bear all cost.
I feel d only extra cost apart from daily rental shud be d cost of d low bed (and except it is coming all d way from lagos, 100k is toooooo high) intact, at 60k, some rental companies bear cost of d low bed especially if Ur job will last for up to 10 days.

Summary:
Dis is way too expensive and discouraging to intending farmers.

And please, don't come and tell us that d bulldozer clears 10 hectares a day.

[b]all i will say is this;
marriage is not an automatic meal ticket to the woman. if I were not married,I can never marry any woman who sees the marriage as a meal ticket.
marriage is an invitation to partnership. to join hands together to build a home for urselves and ur children to the glory of God.
if God provides means for the wife, she should not hestitate to help out fully in the expenses. she shud also do it without looking back or complaining. But I dont agree that a man shud abandon his responsibilities as the head of the house. the only thing I can see in this case is an issue of distrust and lack of love in the house. the only thing the couple really love is money. if not so, this are all basic issues that shud be understood and discussed b4 going into marriage

I earn way more than my wife. but she keeps 90% of my money cos I trust her. because of this trust, she does not hestitate to hand over all her money to me to use whenever I ask for it. cos she knows That I wud always have her back financially come what may.

at times we have our little squabbles over money but she always trusts my judgement at last. [/b]

freecocoa:
Na wa o, English is indeed very difficult for some people.

You just said that bursars have contact with students on special occasions and I said bursars do have contacts with students, how are we not saying the same thing? The contact can be on special occasion or not, still, there is contact, what then is your issue?

Only if bursars don't have any contact with students at all(emphasis on at all) would you be in the position to call me a liar.

Please learn how to read and understand, before making a big f00l of yourself, thank you.

No need for insults here.

u need to understand something about written english.
I can write a single sentence in which I really mean one thing but then I structure it in such a way that my readers wud think I mean another thing.
ur sentence which I bolded intends to make the readers believe that bursars do have a sustained contact with the students hence u believe the story may be credible.

I corrected u because the level of contact bursars have with the students is so low that chances of the story being true (the way the OP narrated it) is very unlikely. this is what I want u to understand.

acidtalk:
No! They were sacked to cut cost. You employ contract staff who you will pay far less and will do more job.

Why pay someone N150,000 to do a job and the person will be frowning and thinking he is doing his employers a favor when you can employ 3 people and pay them N50,000 each and they will work extremely hard.


OUTSOURCING IS THE WAY OUT ALL OVER THE WORLD.

u sound happy with d developments.

While I don't doubt d positive financial impact of outsourcing on the bottom line of d private biz man, I want to point out dat it is d primary duty of d govt to provide an enabling economic environment for its citizens to Survive and thrive. So u shud not pray for mass sack especially in d civil service when govt has not provided an alternative investment and survival option

naijasinglegirl,

u need to write a book. u are really funny and I always enjoy ur posts.
by the way, can u post ur pic? I want to see ur face

DoTheNeedful:
Why do I find this difficult to believe NLders will quickly believe this because they like stories revolving around lust and romantic adventure .
You went to sign a course form with a bursar Do you know that a bursar is a principal officer in a university together with the librarian,DVC,registrar and the VC. You as a student may not see him for up to 3 times befor you graduate.
Maybe you were just harassed by one account officer like that or you are a student in one mushroom college of education or a private university.
There is something definitely wrong with your story

please help me tell the M.O.FO

freecocoa:
I was wondering too, then I decided, I don't know how all universities across the nation operate, therefore....

Btw, bursars do have contacts with students.

@ the bolded; very big lie. except on very special and peculiar circumstances.

Hychineson:
. I doubt if you are actually a university undergraduate because as far as university system is concerned, Bursar as a principal officer in the university has nothing to do with course forms and has no direct contact with students. I think u fabricated this story and I don't know why this came to the front page.

may God bless u richly for this piece of wisdom. In any govt owned higher institution in naija, the Bursar is a god, feared almost as much as the Rector or the VC. He is a principal officer with offical vehicles, security details and other paraphenalia of office. he can never be be-littled to the extent of signing course forms of miserable students.

I work in a bursary and even I myself is way above attending to mere students not withstanding that i am very very much below the rank of a Bursar.

I believe the OP is in a secondary school

OR
(modified)

students sometimes have dis stupid habit of referring to anyone, even the security man they meet in the bursary building, as the Bursar. It happens often in my organisation.
The bursary messenger who sits in the bursars file room and receives memo from staff and students was often mistaken for the bursar by most students. such was their level of ignorance.

Oklander:
Oga, it seems to me that you are deliberately getting it wrong. Do you think a WHITE CIA or a mossad agent would dress like an American or an Israelite do and supply other people weapons to kill themselves? The connection is easy, they would most probably have a middleman who has no religion or most definitely not a Muslim or even among themselves(CIA or Mossad) who would act and dress like one and make a contact. With the intelligence at their disposal, it is easy for them to brainwash the ignorant ones.

may God bless u mightily for ur level of common sense. The sudanese president has some valid points and i've always fully shared the same view on the issue.
