The problem is that our waterways need dredging as heavy rains wash silt into the river beds thus making the rivers overflow during heavy downpours.

Other than dredging we need to reclaim and help retain shorelines by simply planting trees in and around water shorelines.

Trees not only act as rain interceptors thereby reducing the impact on loose soil but also help prevent both surface and subsurface erosion.

The Cameroonian dam release has an effect as an increase discharge during heavy rains will impact on the entire Niger basin.

The dam is quite old and silt deposit would have accumulated thus requiring more frequent discharge also areas around the dam wall in Cametoun would attract farmers and settlements making the dam engineers to release more water to prevent flooding upstream.

The best thing we can do is plant much vegetation along our waterways, and dredge the river bed. Building resrtviour dams along the Benue will be expensive and take up much land that we don't have anymore owing to our population.

Nobody should blame this on climate change as that is a ruse but rather poor land and water management.

Thumbs up for the bolded.

MasterJayJay:
I thought as much. How can a small dam make River Niger and River Benue to overflow?

What are the records of the average depth of River Niger and River Benue for the last 50 years? Would dredging minimize the flood?


Many areas have never experienced this kind of flooding..

The government is still clueless on the major factors that led to the floods.

There is a large expanse of land UI owns around the main campus...I have never seen that land flooded before till now, and I have been living in this axis for 7 years now. I wonder what's really the cause of this floods.

Redomi:
That's a fact lie. I have been marking my eggs for long and they are hatching

Cool.

idrisaleo1:
Please see the first page for rough estimate. I sent the money, my dad started with the supervision. And up to the roofing was done last year. I don't think that will be very helpful?

Okay. Thanks.

WHAT YOU BOOK FROM US, IS WHAT YOU GET FROM US.

Please what kind of chickens are those in the first picture...I mean the white chickens.

idrisaleo1:
We moved them today to the bigger coop.

Nice. They have enough space to run around. Apart from the blocks, how much did you spend on the covering and roofing of the place? I plan on doing something similar to this next week and just want to have an idea how much I will be spending.

Thanks in advance.

idrisaleo1:
I pray they come out good. It's always nice to have different breeds on the farm. Apart from the business side, I enjoy watching them.

Me too.

Redomi:
This is the mother frizzle brooding some eggs

Interesting. I used to think once you touch a chicken's eggs, it abandons them.

Blue3k:
lol this guy makes up the most idiotic stories and yet people still report on it like he has credibility. If someone collapsed why would they go take a multiple hour flight to paris instead of using local emergency services? Also there's somehow no videos of the incident. Just remember his previous tales.

HAHAHAHAHA! This his tweet made me laugh.

What's up guys. Please, I need information on this car from those who have owned it, currently own it, or just know about it. I plan on buying this car next month, and I just want to know about it...Tell me the pros and cons of owning this particular Benz.

etrange:
Farming is both fun and lucrative.

When I was a kid, there was a chick depot near our house. They sold in cartons, but I was able to buy one for N 15. When I got home, the little thing started following me everywhere I go. It was probably hungry and couldn't eat what I was feeding it. I can't remember what happened to it eventually, but I remember people laughing when they saw us together. If I weren't into tech, I'd probably be into animal husbandry. I like taking care of animals.

Nice one, OP. Good luck!

This your story reminded of when I was doing my youth service in a village in th east, and I was bored, so I went to the market to buy two chicks. I thought they were agric...but later found out they were local. They started following me everywhere. Imagine walking around your corpers lodge to see all your friends, and two black chicks following you about. Even when I would be gisting with friends or playing whot with friends, they will come and sit on my head or shoulder. lol! They thought I was their mother.

Unfortunately, they followed me to see one of my friends one day, and while waiting outside, they ate ants that had been killed with Sniper, and it killed them. It was so heartbreaking...I had bonded with them so much.

idrisaleo1:
I mean that's always been my worry. I want to buy feed for three months on the minimum, hopefully.

Good idea. Or at least, for 2 months.

idrisaleo1:
100+ feeding got 12 bags of ultima starter and grower

19500 per carton... We got 8

10k+ for medication

Those are what I can remember for now...

Thanks

idrisaleo1:
Would have loved to do that. But na feed money I de look for now. I won't deceive you.

Omo! Make sure you keep feed money for one side o. I remember when I started with 100 birds like 7 years ago. It got to a point, I was fasting, just so my birds would eat, cos I was short on cash, and those birds eat like crazy. Chai! That was one crazy time in my life.

brandsoncharlie:
Go to any timber around you, they will give you Wood peelers for free , use your empty bag feed to the timber to convey them to your farm.

Free ke? That thing is GOLD here in Ibadan, I don't know about any other place in Naija.

Redomi:
Also naked neck

Where did you get the chickens from?

idrisaleo1:
We aren't immune from this problem boss. How do we prevent it, please?

Get empty bottle water container, fill it with water, and put on top of the drinkers. Or, if you can find schnapps bottle, that would be a good option too. For the feeders, you have to find a way to hang it from a high point...so, that it is suspended, and dangling, and not on the floor.

Redomi:
Meanwhile I'm trying something new with frizzle feathered chicken

What kind of chicken are these?

Redomi:
I still don't know the difference between noilers and Kuroilers. To me they are same.

They're the same, just different brand name.

idrisaleo1:
Bro no money for now jare...just bought the sand yesterday. Hoping to see how this pans out...

Apart from money spent on the building where you're housing them, what's the total money you have spent to get the 400 birds and for their upkeep so far?

Shedrack777:
stop giving them all these lasota and whatever, the only best medicine that works for these birds is amoxiline. it is what i always give my birds and no loses or regrets. only give them their own medicine of eating food. but for their health, amoxiline does the job better than any medicine

That's an antibiotic right? You also know too much antibiotics is not good for these birds and for the people that will eat them in the future.

drdeath:
Oga no need of all these sakamanje vaccines.
They need to be outside under the sun.
You grind corn,rice into pieces for them.You also provide them with water.They need to be stepping on the bare soil with their foot.
They need the sun for growth.
You will lose over 70% if you are not observant!

No wonder your name is dr. death. Which kind of pessimistic comment is this. They are not local chicken, why would he put them outside to be running around.

organicfoods:
I will advice you to use wood shavings...I found out saw dust will lead to CRD. They have poor nostrils and can get blocked by the small particles easily, which can Lead to difficulties in respiration.

That looks like sand, not sawdust.

idrisaleo1:
Day 22 in pictures...

From the pictures, they are not flying on top of the drinker and feeder to sit and poop. That's nice. That's one thing that used to get on my nerve when I was raising Noilers. Once they get to 2-3 weeks, they become super active, and start flying on top of any elevated spot they see, and pooping there.

lhordspy:
A country that works right? But when people protest in Nigeria here too for same reasons.. You call the country a failed country.


You people are hypocrites.
Enemy of Nigeria.

lol. You're so right.

LeoDeKing:
Choi, Sowore, your own don finish kpata kpata.

Ipob pigs will teach you the lesson of your life this afternoon.

Seems Sowore doesn't know Pandora crook is the latest god of ipob pigs and no one dares say anything wrong about him.

Sowore, my prayers are with you on this ride.

I think he knows what he's getting into. He is a media guy...he knows they will focus on him with insults, but that will also drive a lot of attention his way. He needs the attention.

I thought Sowore and Obi were padis.
