superman007:


dear Unionised thanks for your "contribution" but it is obvious from the tone that there is much venom in your statement. Let me help clarify some issues to you, i hope you will be so kind as to spare a minute or two to read through

1. ideas might appear lofty but from my experience and reasoning they are achieveable.
2. it is not a theory, this concept is in practice the world over especially in the new economies ( the Asian tigers)
3. You DON'T need to wait for the Government to form an umbrella body ( Ask Rockefeller and the likes).
4. The antecedents as you have asked are obvious for all to see ( a thread that has run for 2 yrs with forum member/farmers now recording higher and better yields due to quality information)
5. NO single farm ( even Obasanjo farms) has created a substantial support to the Nigerian economy, so i will refrain from saying " childish thought"
6. No one needs to know anybody to become a force in modern day Nigeria especially in the private sector. the Quality of your goods and the packaging and marketing will sell themselves ( Ask Indomie, Dangote cement or sugar or pasta).
7. An association will have a constitution so the position of chairman will be constitutional obviously. BUT people will ONLY vote in those with proven track records of success in maintaining and nurturing ( groups, business and the likes).
8. The government CANNOT teach the private sector about making profit EVER (Chrysler,Toyota, Mercedes, Dangote, MTN e.t.c.) internship so not needed.
9. Associations are not imposed so membership or alliances will obviously be strategic especially if it satisfies mutual interests.
10. Most of us will prefer to build the ship as we sail cause no plan is foolproof, it is the endeavour that will count. Please let the holes remain they will be patched.
11. This merry go round as you call it, is the zone where ideas are fashioned and refashioned as new information is supplied. ( brainstorming)
12. As a personal advice to ALL .ALWAYS THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX. That is the realm of true genius.The information available on this thread has helped many to open their own successful farms and God is still in the business of blessing our hustle.

Thank you Sir
VERY WELL SAID

To further clear the air of some raised issue here ,as said earlier we are one big family and colleagues .And there is no power tussle among existing and about to be formed association .
Having said that , i still want to inform my fellow colleagues here to know that , we never in our write up said we are forming a national association that will represent all farmers in nigeria or the so called umbrella body .We are forming a private association that will accommodate all fish farmers all over nigeria .So we all can shear constructive idea ,innovations and prompt and fast execution with , to further increase our business ,better our profits and livelihood at large. it is not must but by choice.
2,There is no time we wrote here that all other associations must join us ,we only advised that, we are ready to work with any sister association in reaching our said goals on time and fast .
3 I dont think there is need to be powerful or know someone in high places to be able to improve on your business or form co-operatives to help ourselves .Personally i believe , with co operation, hard work, honesty and dedication we shall get there.The young shall grow.
4 .We Proposed having zonal co-ordinators in the major fish farming zones of the country, to enable an even and prmpt distribution of the very cheap floating feed, fingerlings and other benefits of the association to members to benefit ,but to me ,i still believe non members can still benefit in all areas.This will be worked out as we progress.
5,No matter how small your fish farm is , it does not matter, Every body is allowed to join irrespective of farm size .ALL benefits will be equal .
Please criticism are allowed but let it be constructive criticism , that will help us improve , grow and successful, Though i still find it difficult to understand how something that has not even started can be criticised with some such bitter wards ....at least let give the benefit of doubt and allow the proposed association to start first then you can be free to criticise the association of its short comings ,because i personally believe that constructive criticism in life help to further improve our potential in life.
And as for track records , you dont need to be 100 years in the business to have track records , quality speaks for itself , Some of us have break grounds in different fields of aquaculture , Some of us have been a member of a team that successfully designed the first almost zero electricity recycle systems used comercially, first of its kind in the world, and we are proud of our achievements . Some of us have been offered mouth watering offers by publishers to come up with books under there company name ,INNOVATIONS IN AQUAPONICS , HYDROPONICS , GELATIN FEEDS ; BIO GAS - making gas and electricity from animals, poultry and fish waste .... Introduction of first fresh water shrimp hatchery in Nigeria , polyculture of shrimp and tilapia raising them to table size with zero cost of feeding in 4 months and lots more ,,,We are ready to shear all this info with our dear colleagues .
Most especially, i believe no great thing comes easily , we never promised a smooth ride all through without hitches and we never promised miracles, but in as much as : there must be rivers to cross , mountains to climb , fences to jump over , journey to walk and so on , but after all we see a bright light at the end of the tunnel , with co operation together and determinations together we shall make it .
In this 2016 lets remove the old cloths of impossible and put on new cloths of possible . A journey of a thousand mile start with a step.
What God has designed can never fail .!!!! THE REVOLUTION 2016 HAS JUST BEGIN !!!!! wishing you all a JOYFUL AND MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!

Thank you very much sir for your sincere words.. The truth is no man is an island we all learn from one another, iron sharpeneth iron.. You have to have a big vision and take very small steps to get there, gradually and steadily. You have to be humble as you execute but visionary and gigantic in terms of your aspiration, it's not about grand innovation, it's about a lot of little innovations every day, every week, every month, making something a little bit better.. This thread is open for everyone to contribute his or her own experience.. Mr soft is someone i also respect a lot we seem to share the same vision and we have resolved by Gods grace to actualize this vision.. We sat down just overnight to talk about actualizing the plan pf the hatchery and it has been a very huge success and there are still room for improvement.. Thank you for all the support. One love

Hello Sir,

Please, how many juveniles did you buy from Robonski and how was it sent to you in Abuja? What was the transportation cost?
Was the mortality due to stress from transportation high?

I just want to have an idea as we intend to buy 5000 juveniles from Robonski and have them sent to Owerri, Imo State.

Thanks for your anticipated swift response.

Many thanks
Bought 6k juvenile they weren't stressed at all, arrived hale and hearthy, paid half of the transport.

An simple but elaborate topic will be treated very soon stay tuned
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by soft777(m): 11:56am On Dec 26, 2015
for example using a concrete pond as a study .
When you weigh your fish and get average weight of 200 gram , then the next week u get an average weight of 300gram means your fish has gained 100kg in one week .The third week you weigh again and get an average of 450g means all good, u got extra 150kg in 1 week interval .If at 4 week u get 500kg ,fine you got 50 kg extra but from your projection your weight have dropped and because you were getting 100 and 150 weigh gained before so with 50kg you will start to be very carefull and try to determine 3 things...........
1, Make sure its not your water quality problem that reduce the weight
2,Make sure you are giving your fish the right feed in quantity cause as they grow you must increase the amount of feed
3 make sure they are not sick or affected by diseases
These are the 3 major problems that can affects your fish weight gained, but if u see that all these factors are ok then you now start to realise your fish pond is getting to its carrying capacity so start to look for buyers and sell .
Or when you weigh your fish and discover your fcr is increasing .So at 1.2 fcr, using how i explained to calculate fcr in my previous write up , then you know its time to sell. because at fcr above 1.2 i fear loss will set in .
In every 2 weeks interval an increase in feed should be administered most time a 1/4 increase in feed for example , if you dont have acess to weighing your fish regularly in determining the calculation i stated on my topic feed on earlier post, you can use this crude but effective method .
For example if you give your feed 10kg daily, by 2 weeks time ,all things been equal , you need to increase by 1/4 , so by calculating this will give us , 1/4 of 10kg , that will give us 2.5 kg. Meaning the amount of feed to be administered after 2 weeks will be 10kg plus 2.5 kg this gives 12.5kg , and in every 2 weeks a good growing fish will need fish size change .This implies that in every 2 weeks interval if your fish is consuming 2mm feed by 2 weeks ago .Then by today they should be consuming 3mm, and what it implies is that, at 2 weeks ago consuming 10kg and 2mm should today consume 12.5kg and 3mm. That means you have increase both your feed quantity and size to meet up with your growing fish every two weeks.
These are when all condition are perfect because if you have disease out break or slow growing fish it may not apply.
When you buy fingerlings from hatcheries make sure they are of uniform size , because too many un uniform size will lead to carnibalism and there for reduction in your fish quantity and eventual loss.
Let me elaborate more, for new farmers to understand better ,starting with good quality standard fingerlings eating 1mm feed after 2 weeks , they should be taking 2mm and by next 2 weeks again, they should take 3mm , but you can feed 2mm to your fish from juvenile till they are 1month after juvenile and feed local feed .
Those going for grow out;
because fish reared for grow out will need to feed more of 2mm before changing to 3mm or local feed , because this will ensure there fast growth cause most 2mm foreign feed contains more percentage crude protein than 3mm , and above .
But for melange farming u can feed 1mm to fingerlings after 2 weeks you change to 2mm for 2 weeks then start local feed .I will elaborate further when i treat the topic melange farming revealing some detailed secrets on how to maximise your profits in mellange farming.
But if you know the technique like in my farm , we feed local feed from fingerlings to grow out which helps us maximize profits .
For better understanding of the technique i advise you book a day starting from febuary ,for a 1 or 2 day intensive practical training with our farm.DETAILS WILL BE RELEASED SHORTLY !!!


If you are unlucky to be given last growers by bad hatcheries ,all hope is not lost what you need to do is add fish boosters to your feed and water ,at least 2 sachet to 100kg feed but please this is for people with low growing fish ,dont add fish booster to normal growing fish because they already have active enzymes in them that already support fast metabolism which is breaking down or cnverting there feed or fod to flesh so adding high concentrated boosters may be too saturated for normal fish and may cause health problems ,its only used for slow growing fish because the fish booster acts as catalyst, which are nutrients that helps fasten or increase fish metabolism making them to grow or help kick start there body enzymes for faster metabolic reaction.
When you sort your fish the slow growing or smaller ones can be boosted by separating them in a different pond and add 2 sachet of fish booster to there own feed and feed them.
Also on weekly bases add the liquid booster to there pond water anytime you change there water, though it may cost you little more ,but it is better than losing them to low sales cause of slow growth problems.
Though i still strongly insist that to make reasonable profit ,get your fingerlings from reputable hatcheries ,do not look at the time or distance ,better to be late than never.
How to catch your fish at regular interval to weigh them .I see some farmers draining down there pond , before they weigh , but that method will stress you and your fish. What you need do, taking earthen pond as an example .The night before you weigh them , take a 2 square meter mosquito net. insert it under the feeding point of your pond , and tie its four edges with a rope. Let the rope on the four edges be long enough to get outside the pond and use very strong stones to hold the rope edges firmly to the ground so as not to let the wind blow away the net.
Note this should be done a night before the next day weighing process , cause if u do it same moment when you want to feed them , as said earlier , catfish are very intelligent fishes ,they will not come there to feed when they discover you setting a trap there ,.
So after successfully doing this , by morning during feeding, they will all converge at the feeding point not realising the net under them...
Make someone to assist you by pulling the net handles, that is the ropes very fast this way you will catch a hand full of them and this should be done when they are fully engaged in their feeding. Do not wait till they finish eating, so that the new feed they are just eating will not add to the fish weight , giving you a wrong calculation .. The average of the fish caught is then weighed and returned back immediately.
How to weigh your fish to determine the average weight , for example if your net catches lets say 6 fishes, you weigh them all together lets say they give you 600g. This means you divide the 600 gram by the total number of fish you caught giving you 600 DIVIDE BY 6 that is 100g.
This implies that your average weight of your fish is 100 g.For concrete or plastic vat just put your weight checking on one of the days you do your pond water changing .when u reduce your pond water to change it .Take like 5 to 6 of them and the average weight taken . This way you have done 2 things with one method
Please for concrete pond users when you do partial or total water changes please endeavour to add either fish or poultry anti stress to your pond for 30 minutes before you fill it up back with water this does 2 things ,
1 Will help them begin to take food faster again after water changes .....
2,It helps condition the water as in making the water to settle down faster and properly.
Note anti stress is different from fish booster.
When you dont use anti stress t condition your water, its why some concrete pond users encounter fish disease more than the earthen pond users because when they change water regularly which is a good practice ,but without giving them anti stress .it causes stress t your fish so my candid advice for concrete or plastic pond users ,is to do flow through system when changing water.
Than the drain all and refill system.
NOW MY CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR EVERYBODY ,
A little secret, in as much as the iya eleja that is the fish buyers , likes to cheat ,we will not encourage ourselves to do the same but i see most farmers here, when they want to sell there fishes at maturity ,they dont feed a day or skip a day feed before sell, yes sure its normal practice , so the fishes do not vomit out there feed when harvesting and making a mess of the whole place. But skip a day will definately drop the weight of your fish there by reducing your profit
In fish farming every gram counts, do this 2 days before selling ,I call it super energy chunk feed ,its called chunk feed because you feed your fish with it 2 days before you sell ,and the feed will remain in your fish belly as a chunk for more days to come without fully digesting. This will help maintain your fish weight for the 2 days without feeding and its weight will be increased or stable and they will not vomit it out .
Its a 10kg feed mix 7kg palm carnel cake pkc with 3kg yellow grounded corn, pelletize them together and add 1/4 liter fish oil .if you cant get fish oil buy pure cow fat from abatior heat the fat without water in a pot till it gets to oil and measure 1/4 liter of the fat oil and mix with 7kg pkc and 3 kg grounded to powder yellow corn, then pelletize and give your fish . You see this 2 simple and readily available cheap ingredients will keep your fish weight intact.
This feed formula is only given 2 days before selling .you will discover drastic weight increase and there will be no vormiting of feed while harvesting ,but please dont give your fish this feed as a regular feed ,keep to your normal feed formula till 2 days befre harvest, because if u give your fish this chunk feed as regular feed , it will block there digestive system and this will be bad for your fish .
The formula should be given only 2 days before selling thank you for reading.......................
AFTER HAVING GOOD SEED .GOOD FEED FORMULA AND KNOWING HOW TO FEED ,THE NEXT STEP IS HOW TO MANAGE YOUR WATER;UNDER THIS TOPIC I WILL TREAT ALL POND SYSTEMS AND ALL POND TYPE IT WILL BE A 3 TIMES WRITE UP WATCH OUT. IT WILL BE EXPLOSIVE::::: merry xmass everybody!!!!

Hello my fellow farmers/businessmen,
I am fairly new to fish farming, I stocked my first set of 1550 post fingerlings in earthen pond last week and they are looking good. I haven't noticed any dead fishes floating yet. That must be good....majority of them have double in size in this one week. The only concern im having is algae, my pond looks so green in the late afternoons, is it healthy for my fishes? I av a flow through earthen pond with water coming in and out of my pond 24/7
Im thinking of liming, would it help?

When you dont use anti stress t condition your water, its why some concrete pond users encounter fish disease more than the earthen pond users because when they change water regularly which is a good practice ,but without giving them anti stress .it causes stress t your fish so my candid advice for concrete or plastic pond users ,is to do flow through system when changing water.
Than the drain all and refill system.
NOW MY CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR EVERYBODY ,
A little secret, in as much as the iya eleja that is the fish buyers , likes to cheat ,we will not encourage ourselves to do the same but i see most farmers here, when they want to sell there fishes at maturity ,they dont feed a day or skip a day feed before sell, yes sure its normal practice , so the fishes do not vomit out there feed when harvesting and making a mess of the whole place. But skip a day will definately drop the weight of your fish there by reducing your profit
In fish farming every gram counts, do this 2 days before selling ,I call it super energy chunk feed ,its called chunk feed because you feed your fish with it 2 days before you sell ,and the feed will remain in your fish belly as a chunk for more days to come without fully digesting. This will help maintain your fish weight for the 2 days without feeding and its weight will be increased or stable and they will not vomit it out .
Its a 10kg feed mix 7kg palm carnel cake pkc with 3kg yellow grounded corn, pelletize them together and add 1/4 liter fish oil .if you cant get fish oil buy pure cow fat from abatior heat the fat without water in a pot till it gets to oil and measure 1/4 liter of the fat oil and mix with 7kg pkc and 3 kg grounded to powder yellow corn, then pelletize and give your fish . You see this 2 simple and readily available cheap ingredients will keep your fish weight intact.
This feed formula is only given 2 days before selling .you will discover drastic weight increase and there will be no vormiting of feed while harvesting ,but please dont give your fish this feed as a regular feed ,keep to your normal feed formula till 2 days befre harvest, because if u give your fish this chunk feed as regular feed , it will block there digestive system and this will be bad for your fish .
The formula should be given only 2 days before selling thank you for reading.......................
AFTER HAVING GOOD SEED .GOOD FEED FORMULA AND KNOWING HOW TO FEED ,THE NEXT STEP IS HOW TO MANAGE YOUR WATER;UNDER THIS TOPIC I WILL TREAT ALL POND SYSTEMS AND ALL POND TYPE IT WILL BE A 3 TIMES WRITE UP WATCH OUT. IT WILL BE EXPLOSIVE::::: merry xmass everybody!!!!

for example using a concrete pond as a study .
When you weigh your fish and get average weight of 200 gram , then the next week u get an average weight of 300gram means your fish has gained 100kg in one week .The third week you weigh again and get an average of 450g means all good, u got extra 150kg in 1 week interval .If at 4 week u get 500kg ,fine you got 50 kg extra but from your projection your weight have dropped and because you were getting 100 and 150 weigh gained before so with 50kg you will start to be very carefull and try to determine 3 things...........
1, Make sure its not your water quality problem that reduce the weight
2,Make sure you are giving your fish the right feed in quantity cause as they grow you must increase the amount of feed
3 make sure they are not sick or affected by diseases
These are the 3 major problems that can affects your fish weight gained, but if u see that all these factors are ok then you now start to realise your fish pond is getting to its carrying capacity so start to look for buyers and sell .
Or when you weigh your fish and discover your fcr is increasing .So at 1.2 fcr, using how i explained to calculate fcr in my previous write up , then you know its time to sell. because at fcr above 1.2 i fear loss will set in .
In every 2 weeks interval an increase in feed should be administered most time a 1/4 increase in feed for example , if you dont have acess to weighing your fish regularly in determining the calculation i stated on my topic feed on earlier post, you can use this crude but effective method .
For example if you give your feed 10kg daily, by 2 weeks time ,all things been equal , you need to increase by 1/4 , so by calculating this will give us , 1/4 of 10kg , that will give us 2.5 kg. Meaning the amount of feed to be administered after 2 weeks will be 10kg plus 2.5 kg this gives 12.5kg , and in every 2 weeks a good growing fish will need fish size change .This implies that in every 2 weeks interval if your fish is consuming 2mm feed by 2 weeks ago .Then by today they should be consuming 3mm, and what it implies is that, at 2 weeks ago consuming 10kg and 2mm should today consume 12.5kg and 3mm. That means you have increase both your feed quantity and size to meet up with your growing fish every two weeks.
These are when all condition are perfect because if you have disease out break or slow growing fish it may not apply.
When you buy fingerlings from hatcheries make sure they are of uniform size , because too many un uniform size will lead to carnibalism and there for reduction in your fish quantity and eventual loss.
Let me elaborate more, for new farmers to understand better ,starting with good quality standard fingerlings eating 1mm feed after 2 weeks , they should be taking 2mm and by next 2 weeks again, they should take 3mm , but you can feed 2mm to your fish from juvenile till they are 1month after juvenile and feed local feed .
Those going for grow out;
because fish reared for grow out will need to feed more of 2mm before changing to 3mm or local feed , because this will ensure there fast growth cause most 2mm foreign feed contains more percentage crude protein than 3mm , and above .
But for melange farming u can feed 1mm to fingerlings after 2 weeks you change to 2mm for 2 weeks then start local feed .I will elaborate further when i treat the topic melange farming revealing some detailed secrets on how to maximise your profits in mellange farming.
But if you know the technique like in my farm , we feed local feed from fingerlings to grow out which helps us maximize profits .
For better understanding of the technique i advise you book a day starting from febuary ,for a 1 or 2 day intensive practical training with our farm.DETAILS WILL BE RELEASED SHORTLY !!!


If you are unlucky to be given last growers by bad hatcheries ,all hope is not lost what you need to do is add fish boosters to your feed and water ,at least 2 sachet to 100kg feed but please this is for people with low growing fish ,dont add fish booster to normal growing fish because they already have active enzymes in them that already support fast metabolism which is breaking down or cnverting there feed or fod to flesh so adding high concentrated boosters may be too saturated for normal fish and may cause health problems ,its only used for slow growing fish because the fish booster acts as catalyst, which are nutrients that helps fasten or increase fish metabolism making them to grow or help kick start there body enzymes for faster metabolic reaction.
When you sort your fish the slow growing or smaller ones can be boosted by separating them in a different pond and add 2 sachet of fish booster to there own feed and feed them.
Also on weekly bases add the liquid booster to there pond water anytime you change there water, though it may cost you little more ,but it is better than losing them to low sales cause of slow growth problems.
Though i still strongly insist that to make reasonable profit ,get your fingerlings from reputable hatcheries ,do not look at the time or distance ,better to be late than never.
How to catch your fish at regular interval to weigh them .I see some farmers draining down there pond , before they weigh , but that method will stress you and your fish. What you need do, taking earthen pond as an example .The night before you weigh them , take a 2 square meter mosquito net. insert it under the feeding point of your pond , and tie its four edges with a rope. Let the rope on the four edges be long enough to get outside the pond and use very strong stones to hold the rope edges firmly to the ground so as not to let the wind blow away the net.
Note this should be done a night before the next day weighing process , cause if u do it same moment when you want to feed them , as said earlier , catfish are very intelligent fishes ,they will not come there to feed when they discover you setting a trap there ,.
So after successfully doing this , by morning during feeding, they will all converge at the feeding point not realising the net under them...
Make someone to assist you by pulling the net handles, that is the ropes very fast this way you will catch a hand full of them and this should be done when they are fully engaged in their feeding. Do not wait till they finish eating, so that the new feed they are just eating will not add to the fish weight , giving you a wrong calculation .. The average of the fish caught is then weighed and returned back immediately.
How to weigh your fish to determine the average weight , for example if your net catches lets say 6 fishes, you weigh them all together lets say they give you 600g. This means you divide the 600 gram by the total number of fish you caught giving you 600 DIVIDE BY 6 that is 100g.
This implies that your average weight of your fish is 100 g.For concrete or plastic vat just put your weight checking on one of the days you do your pond water changing .when u reduce your pond water to change it .Take like 5 to 6 of them and the average weight taken . This way you have done 2 things with one method
Please for concrete pond users when you do partial or total water changes please endeavour to add either fish or poultry anti stress to your pond for 30 minutes before you fill it up back with water this does 2 things ,
1 Will help them begin to take food faster again after water changes .....
2,It helps condition the water as in making the water to settle down faster and properly.
Note anti stress is different from fish booster.
When you dont use anti stress t condition your water, its why some concrete pond users encounter fish disease more than the earthen pond users because when they change water regularly which is a good practice ,but without giving them anti stress .it causes stress t your fish so my candid advice for concrete or plastic pond users ,is to do flow through system when changing water.

@Soft777
Thanks for this incisive write up.
In the opening lines of this thread Don Robonski said he will rather not go into feed formulation himself because of adulterated ingredients but used the lkes of Vital etc that are local and relatively cheap. Has this position changed? Do you make your own feed used in your farm yourself?
Once again thanks for the valuable information

Fellow farmers,
The birth of the much awaited and talked-about association is here at last----ALLIANCE FISH FARMERS OF NIGERIA (AFFON).

I want to congratulate you all as we partake of the much anticipated "AQUACULTURE REVOLUTION 2016".

"AQUACULTURE REVOLUTION 2016" is our dream as a family which we will all pursue holistically with an open mind for all to enjoy. This coming year is a year that much revelation on aquaculture shall be revealed to us all while we increase our farm management skill for a better profit maximization ...

Bad experiences/losses of some farmers increased our quest for knowledge and reseach for a better yield in our respective production, our team members and partners across the globe are working tirelesly in acquiring information that will better our productivitity and profitability. I can assure you that we have our dedicated team working around the clock to help us in reducing our cost of production while our profit margin is excellent.

Sir/ma, just as been cleared by some colleagues in the house, myself, Sof777, Robonski and some well infomed farmers and well wishers, the birth of AFFON isn't about power tussle, NO!!! It's not about search for recognition. Rather, the birth of AFFON is about VICTORY to all fish farmers because it'll afford farmers to see things via another perspective. It's about having a HOME!!! Having a SHOULDER TO LEAN ON!!! Been a SUCCOURER to wounded members and farmers at large.

With all honesty without pretence and mincing word, AFFON will agressively and passionately cater for her MEMBERS in all possible ways. We will lay down our life to ensure the success and survival of our members because we believe that "injury to one is injury to all". But, we can asure all non-members that they are open to enjoy all priviledges too as does our members but as practiced in all associations and family setting, there exists some very few privileges that will be strictly open to our members ALONE e.g. Sponsoring of members to trainings, conferences and seminars within and outside the country, recommendation of members for access to grants and loan and so on.

However, AFFON shall not work in isolation. We shall work with our sister associations to FEED THE WORLD AT PROFIT!!!

Thank you for your much support all the way and the anticipated love, support, co-operation in the future... #OurFutureIsBright!

LONG LIVE AQUACULTURE!!!
LONG LIVE ALL FISH FARMERS!!!
LONG LIVE ALL EXISTING ASSOCIATIONS!!!
LONG LIVE ALLIANCE FISH FARMERS OF NIGERIA (AFFON)!!!

Wishiing you all the very best!!!

Its an honour to be part of this great team and association ,were i can get to meet and rubbing minds with great guys like ROBONSKI , NUVEMBARZINTL, and EVERY BODY HERE .
The chosen name is one great step and the major huddle is about to begin .And most of us have already given our full support to sacrifice time energy etc to make sure we all benefits .Having got a name ,then i say no time to waste the future is now . But no association can start or move swiftly into action .
So the house is open for nomination for our leader cause its a democratic thing any interested farmer that is ready to lead us can nominate him or herself or be nominated .without further talk .
Am nominating someone because of the following reasons :
1, With about 15 years experience in all field in aquaculture .
2,Great leadership experience in handling treads on agricnetwork and other agricultural platform.
3; Wealth of experience in nigerian fish marketing.
4,Vast ground breaking records in modern techniques of aquaculture.
5,Honesty dedicated and prompt respond to solving problems.
With these and many more qualities i humbly nominate NUVEMBARZINTL as leader of this great about to formed association THANK YU

Am humbled my brother by the nomination and the piece written abt me... Am looking 4wd to seeing U write my "Biograpy" grin. But point of correction pls, despite my 15yrs experience, as I alwyz say on agricnetwork.com, "am a learner too. We are all learning. A man stop learning only in death". There are so much to knw and to be learnt. But by God's grace, all our efforts will be crown with huge success.

Wishing you all the best!!!

Yes it will be nice to have NUVEMBARZINTL introduced.
Robonski hardly need any introduction but if a great mind like Soft777 nominates somebody else, I think it will be nice to have him introduced. I will also suggest we have real names so that some searches can be made.

Its an honour to be part of this great team and association ,were i can get to meet and rubbing minds with great guys like ROBONSKI , NUVEMBARZINTL, and EVERY BODY HERE .
The chosen name is one great step and the major huddle is about to begin .And most of us have already given our full support to sacrifice time energy etc to make sure we all benefits .Having got a name ,then i say no time to waste the future is now . But no association can start or move swiftly into action .

Gentlemen I believe that if two of our most eminent and selfless minds can nominate Mr Nuvembarz farms as our potential leader. it is a rare display of selflessness not usually witnessed in our country and I would like to say there likely is more to this amiable gentleman than we know " we are all together learners grin". Let us achieve greatness together
Nuvembarz has my vote,
