FoolishBoy419: Everything you said is valid except for the example you made with Venezuela. The country is in tatters mostly because of America's bullying and the undue sanctions placed on its economy.
Well said... I was about to point out the devastating U.S. sanctions against Venezuela to the guy you quoted. It's just like the sanstions that devastated Zimbabwe when Robert Mugabe was still in power as the President of that country.
Quintessence44: If you are planning to JAPA, my advice as an economist and oil industry analyst is that you WAIT.
Give it at least a YEAR from today before making the final decision.
The Dangote refinery is a game-changer.a
Nigeria becomes self-sufficient in refined petroleum products, and a net exporter of same, bar none in Africa.
That’s a huge deal.
A great many businesses will be established in the months and years ahead based on our self sufficiency in petroleum products.
Millions of new jobs will be created.
In fact one foreign report states that the establishment of the 20 billion dollar Dangote refinery in Lagos officially makes Nigeria an industrialised nation.
In addition, Nigeria will stop importing diesel, petroleum products, fertiliser and petrochemicals.
“That is saving over $26 billion in foreign exchange” per annum, according to official sources.
In addition to all this, the Dangote refinery will generate 12,000 megawatts of electricity.
You can imagine the impact this will have on the economy going forward.
To JAPA right when the nation is on the cusp of economic and industrial transformation is in my view, ill-advised.
Hence I urge a one-year moratorium on all JAPA - related activities.
SuperMyke: I have been a nairalander for years but this is my first post.
My name is Michael Ameh; a poultry farmer in Ado odo local government areia of Ogun state. Yesterday, a giant crocodile was caught just behind the farm and I felt I should share it on the forum.
The greatest difficulty in feeding man is to supply a sufficient quantity of the body- building material i.e protein. The other three nutritional categories are: the source of energy food (carbohydrates and fats), accessory food factors (vitamins) and inorganic compounds which are indispensable to good health. Water is of course essential (Chang and Buswell, 2003). In addition to their good proteins, mushrooms are a relatively good source of the following individual nutrients: fat, phosphorus, iron and vitamins including thiamine, riboflavin, ascorbic acid, ergosterine and niacin. They are low in calories, carbohydrates and calcium. In ancient Egypt, people consider mushroom as the plant of immortality, and the Pharaohs, respecting its delicious flavors, decreed that mushroom should not be touched by commoners. Today, the science of mushroom has been fully developed for many species in the developed countries in Europe, North America and Asia. For example Agaricus bisporus,mostly produced in North America and European countries. Volvariella volvacea produced in china, Taiwan, Japan, the Philippines and Indonesia. Oyster mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus, P. pulmonarius produced in Asia, Italy and Hungary. The Jew’s ear Auricularia auricula is produced in China for centuries. While these countries are now deriving a great economic benefits (in mushroom exports) and increased the dietary of their people. There is alot of demand for Mushrooms in Nigeria due to the continous increase in population.
BENFITS
(1) Mushrooms offer tremendous applications as they can be used as food and medicines besides their key ecological roles. They represent as one of the world’s greatest untapped resources of nutrition and palatable food of the future. Mushrooms have been found effective against HIV, cancer, cholesterol reduction, stress, insomnia, asthma, allergies and diabetes (Bobek and Galbavy, 1999) (2) The demand for mushroom is higher than supply all over the world. (here lies a great opportunity for those that are smart). (3) Mushrooms are very cheap to cultivate, they grow on waste substances such as, Sawdust, Wood shavings, Cotton waste, Rice bran, Wheat bran, Yam peels, Cassava peels and other agro-industrial wastes. (4) Mushrooms are relatively fast growing organisms. Some tropical mushrooms can be harvested and consumed within 10 days after spawning. (5) You do not need a land, a room is enough to start with. (6) Thus the activity can generate new jobs, especially in tropical or less developed countries. (7) The return on investment is 500%!
Spawn of different species are also available for sale.

VeryWickedGoat: Hyenas and wild dogs start feeding from the most vulnerable parts at the rear end or belly. They also consume all parts including skin and bones since they hunt in packs. This kill reveals that the predator was acting alone, caught the goat and waited till it was dead before devouring. It also shows that the predator is selective with desirable parts.

Tetraozonaitera: I just remembered what a younger colleague of mine in the US told me. When he was traveling to the US years back, he was delayed at the airport by US immigration. They were interrogating him and some others. For more than one hour he was delayed. The person waiting to pick him up was worried too as she waited.
He said, one of the interrogating officers asked for his phone and he instantly gave it to him. He said the first place the guy went to was his browsing history.
"Why did you have to Google AK/47?" The guy asked.
He said when he heard the question he smiled and the guy was surprised.
"Can you answer the question please?" The guy said.
"Can I have my phone back so I can show you why sir?" My guy replied.
The officer handed the phone back to him and my guy went into his picture folder and showed him some photos of himself at work. He is an artist and shortly before the time of traveling, he was handling a sculpture project of a Soldier. So, he needed the picture references of AK/47 to get a perfect job.
The officer looked at him and got convinced.
He said, some of the other guys were taken to the room for deportation. Some of them were Nigerians and they were already crying. My guy was freed and he has since been living there.
Be careful of browsing history when traveling. The devil can use anything to kill someone's joy.

Pavore9: It is farming under a confined controlled environment as against the traditional open field farming. The structure can be made of glass or polythene covers depending on availability and cost of materials. These structure ranges in size. lt is not a new technology as it started way back in the 13th Century in Italy before it spread.
Various crops are grown in a greenhouse including cucumber, flowers, tomatoes, capsicum, strawberry etc Generally crops grown in a greenhouse should be of high value returns comparative to its high cost of construction. With greenhouse farming a farmer can get more yield per unit area of land, easier control of pests and diseases, prolonged production period, efficient water utilization, low cost of labour (that is spraying, weeding and watering) High quality of crop produce. timely crop production, less exposure to chemical toxin.
There are also challenges of greenhouse farming as the high initial cost of investments to set up one and high level of greenhouse management skill is required.
Truth is that greenhouse farming is usually seen as the exclusive of big time farmers because of the high cost of construction but there are low cost greenhouse which are constructed with locally available materials and this can last up to 10 years.
For a low cost greenhouse measuring 24ft by 45ft, l believe N180,000 can cover the cost of construction especially if you are in the rural area as one can utilize the wood from the trees around, get nails, condemned engine oil (will prevent the wooden materials from insect infestation), black tarpaulin (would be wrapped at the base of standing post), insect netting (to enable circulation and prevent insects from entering the green house). poly cover (200 micro greenhouse cover)
It involves 2 stages, the first involves setting up the structure which involves setting up of the frame and the second is covering with insect netting and greenhouse cover, Tired of typing it is almost 6a,m my time here and l have an early day. Let me just post pictures to give you idea of what the process looks like.
NOTE: One must personally be on the field to learn how to construct it and if you acquire this skill you can easily plant even STRAWBERRY without soil inside the greenhouse by way of Aquaponics as the Reverend Sisters l work with have greenhouses they built by themselves each measuring 24ft by 90ft and in each they have fish ponds which has about 10,000 catfish and the waste wate from the fish pond is what feeds the strawberry to grow without soil, growing on PVC pipes and they harvest about 1000kg of strawberry every month from each greenhouse.

DyshApp: Controversial transgender, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has reacted to claims by actress Sonia Ogiri that he impregnated a lady secretly. Sonia Ogiri claimed that Bobrisky, who presents himself as a crossdresser on social media, is privately married and expecting a child, deceiving his followers about his true lifestyle.
Recall that a few weeks ago, Sonia and Bobrisky fought dirty online over claims that the crossdresser was responsible for the trends of males parading themselves as female.
The health condition of Jay Boogie had caused the fight between the duo as Sonia vowed never to donate money to him, blaming Bobrisky for deceiving young boys, but the latter warned the movie star to avoid making issues with him.
In a post on her Instagram page on Tuesday, she claimed that the crossdresser inspired other young men down a dark path, but is secretly married to a woman with a family.
She wrote: “Days after, paid privately to follow up. Oga has married secretly oh, and his wife even get belle, oga is a man at night and a woman during the day. Oga secretly visits at night and is on the internet deceiving young boys that should focus on more productive things. I know a low now.
“You should know who but if you don’t then you can never know the cause of Nigeria’s problem. Congratulations are in order as we Nigerians always show love. Oga has 1 and is expecting another, just dey play. This little gossip is between you and me, I close page since two weeks so no other person fit see am, I just day make i share with you because I love you oh, me don dey go, No call my name oh.”
Responding to the claims, Bobrisky criticised her for bringing his name into her statements and expressed dissatisfaction with the points she raised.
In his words: “Soniaogiri do you know you can make ur valid point without mentioning my name? But if person wan chop knock for head the head must surely scratch am. Your write-up ain’t brilliant at all. You need to do better next time. Love and kindness have no boundaries. I will say dis over and over again. No one deserve to dis over how he or she choose to live his or her life. Regardless people who will still want to help her/him will stand up up for him/her regardless. You are only in position to control how u give ur own money not how others want to spend theirs.
“Sonia need a brain surgery cos her IQ is short. If jaybogie was ur junior kid you will also be among people asking d public for funds, but now she is not in ur family it easy for you to open ur disgusting mouth that smell like gutter to type trash. Remember the day any of ur family too will need help people will bring out dis ur write up.
“Now let me warn ur whole family never come for me again in ur life I don’t know even if you had once be in dm before which I still didn’t recognize you. Olodo.”
