Expect the prices of these to go up. Expect the prices of flour, bread and other baked products to increase. Biscuits, cake, noodles, and spaghetti. Food inflation rate is over 23% already. The design is to keep you poor.

Note that Dangote just fought BUA last week, calling for the FG to ban sugar dealers that don't own sugar plantations in Nigeria. Government of Dangote, for Dangote. Alhaji Putin Republic.

Boss man, please I'll need your honest advice and observation on a number of things.

How is the Poultry generally?
I heard the customers come to the farm gate to get the products, but seeing you marketing yours online, I'm having a second thought about it.

I hope it's not too challenging to market your wares.

How did you start? With DOC or POL?

Is your facility rented or owned.

Please don't be angry for the many questions. I'm just trying to do my due diligence and look before I take a leap.

I camped in Kebbi during NYSC, and one of their strongest pride is in the fact that they kill Boko Haram like fliers. The state is super peaceful.

Cocoa is a valuable export product and we need to do more to ramp up cocoa export for valuable foreign exchange.

What other countries do to make money and build a strong economy shouldn't be a bad thing when it comes to Nigeria.

What happens after offtaking the cocoa for local use? Rot away or force Nigerians to take them for processing?

How many Nigerians and local entrepreneurs are in the cocoa business or even willing to enter the business?

Are Nigerian cocoa users lamenting over the absence of cocoa locally?

There's more than enough cocoa on the ground for local use, but it is up to Nigerians to enter and create that market and entrepreneurial environment, something that the government can not force us to do, it is up to us to see the potential and access it for wealth and success.

So this clearly is a window of opportunity wasting away, while we lament daily. Hmmm

9jaRealist:
We already have many of them...
Nigeria has had cocoa processors for almost 40 years (ie, before most of us were born).
>

And what's been done by the appropriate authorities to offtake all locally produced cocoa, in other to ensure that we keep the wealth at home?

Or are the processing plants not functioning.

When the industries are not on ground yet, we have to first exploit the market for our current production.

With time, we can set up processing industries.

Although there's the problem of short-sighted government policies, lack of infrastructure, lack of honest human capital, and lack of standards. With Nafdac collecting kickbacks and bribes, it's almost impossible to enforce international food standards.

I hardly see any strong Economy lining up to offtake coca products produced in Nigeria with out current realities.

The business aspect may be far more challenging than you can see on the surface.

But no, you've choosen to be unfortunate in your miserable life.

How long do you think you can sustain this tomfoolery that runs in your family?

geesilver:
in a force majeure like this..... there is little the pilot can do to stop the wind from blowing I don't know if you have ever sail before, you would understand me better

The captain of the ship isn't the one in charge when it happened.

When a ship is entering harbour, there is usually a habour pilot assigned. He knows Everything about that particular port like where the water is shallow or deep, he also has all the necessary resources and info at hand including weather forecasts.


There's a lot the pilot can do to correct the vessel's position given the realities on ground.

This must be down to human error

Exactly, the harbour pilot is to blame.

With full knowledge and experts available on board, this is the result he can give.

Pacesetter123:
Does it mean that the canal is too small for ship of this magnitude?
Talking about wind blowing it off course,so the wind blew it from the center of the canal until it's finally got stuck at the bank of the canal? Wots de distance between the center and the bank?
I refused to completely believe the excuse about the wind.I rather sense human error by the technical crew as the cause of this mishap.

It's very obvious.

Most of what he wrote here are far fetched.

A chick consumes 2kg of feed per day. This one go send person go village o

Planning to be a very lazy farmer is the only way to ensure that you succeed at it.

There are days when you'll feel very ill, or just so tired that you don't want to get out of bed, there are also times when you'll just want to bing on a certain distraction all day. What happens to your "workers" on such days.

I put in 100 percent when I'm farming because it's a way of life for me.
But I work more with reality than fiction. There are days when you have to half-ass it. Those are the days that can undo months of impeccable work.

This is merely a suggestion;

Have a very solid plan first, and know what your homestead aims to achieve.

Know who your farm hands will be and when they can be available to help.

Ditch the idea of planting weed completely (if you dont have lots of acreage)

Focus only on growing crops that will require minimal agric inputs or work.

You also need to choose short, medium and long-term crops. For food and to generate cash to cover expenses that will definitely come up.

Short term Veggies (4 to 6 weeks) - Shoko, Tete,

Medium term crops (2 to 8 months) - Ugwu, potatoes, beans, Okro

Long term crops (over a year) - Yam, Pawpaw, Plantain, Cocoyam

One or two of different kinds of fruit trees like Mango, Orange, Tangerine, Guava, coconut can be planted on the edges of your property. ( You need to do this as soon as you can find spare time) Down the line, they'll enrich your farm and your experience in ways you can't begin to imagine. You also don't need to care for them much once their stem starts getting strong in a few months.

In the meantime your market waste can feed your animals until you start getting money from your Veggies. The money can be used to supplement the animals feeding (Note that your animals will not make you very happy feeding on weed alone. I've tried it during my NYSC days as a project). An animal that should be reproducing by 7 months can start reproducing in the 9th month, that's even if it gives you the required size of litter. Their growth will just drag and frustrate you.


You can't be an island and grow all you eat, Imagine saying you want to grow cassava and produce garri despite your workload, or you want to grow corn and make pap because you love pap. So you'll need some cash to buy food materials that are not commercially viable for you to produce.

Don't make the mistake of thinking you won't need cash, permaculture was coined in countries with better economic realities than ours. The market prices for agric produce in those countries are also well regulated to ensure maximum profit for farmers. Also bear in mind that this same countries are now more knowledgeable about the health benefits of organic foods and they are usually ready to pay premium (outrageously high) prices for foods grown organically, which means a farmer stands to make a respectable sum from his homestead.

When you read books on minimalism, you'll see that they suggest that you wear used clothes that are donated, or use food stamps to cut your feeding cost, or improvise in the production of most items you use which takes a whole lot of expertise that you probably don't have. They also advocate extreme couponing to help get you valuable groceries. All these are Bullcrap in the Nigerian context.

Brother, you have to make money to live a Minimalistic lifestyle.

Back to the Benefits of this style;
> The weed among your crop becomes a welcomed visitor because they feed your animals

> Your animals fertilize the crops

> Every work done on the farm will show commensurate result.

> Multiplication of your resources will be faster

> Lots of products can be sold as you scale up (Eggs from your chicks, animal feaces, livestock, crops, fruits when the mature)

> Along the line, you can organise coaching sessions for people who want to learn how you did it.

> The kids of your animals can be sold whenever you're cash strapped.

> You'll always have access to good organic food produce.


The rest you'll figure out as you go.

All these are just mere suggestions though. The ball is in your court.

I also intend to follow the animals to the bush to learn what kind of weed they are eating so that I can facilitate it's growth.

Take for instance the weed attached to the layman it's just weed destined for clearing and burning.
But with constant effort and mindful watching of snails I found out that it is a wonderful food for them and ever since then, I haven't looked at it the same way again

It is important because there are days when there won't be bad watermelon in the market for the snails.

All you need is to head into the bush and cut as many as possible. Change their diet as it were

I enjoy your obsession with weed


If the aim of the farmstead is; To feed a family and still leave some produce for sale.

To achieve this aim, you have to be looking at how to get the most value out of your resources.

If you want to cultivate weed to ensure sustainability of the farm, you need to be able to predict the weeds entire life cycle (including whether you need to regrow them from time to time and how they react after grazing) and be able to care for them enough for them to produce most efficiently. You also need to work out a stocking density. That means how much land area do you need per animal on your farm.

One thing I've come to realise is that the weeds that you assume will grow fast can become a pain in the ass when you decide to grow them and pay attention to them. Instead it may be better to grow crops alone, at least you can eat, feed livestock and sell some when you need cash.

Weeds usually come when you grow crops, and you'll need to clear them. Whenever you clear the weeds, you can pour it in your animal pens, they'll do justice to it. Do you know that almost all weeds are edible for animals?. I've given my animals all weeds you can think of, they'll mostly avoid the toxic ones and focus on the ones they can eat.

Energy is another resource that you need to manage jealously. Let's assume you have 20 different crops on the farm and today you need to;
stake your yams and cucumbers, while the potatoes are already needing second ridging, you still have to go to the market to get food for the animals, at the same time the snails have laid many eggs this same morning and you need to transfer them to a nursery. You also have to pack the litter in the pig house because its starting to really smell. Rain didn't fall for sometime and you need to wet all your vegetables. You still have to make breakfast or find something to eat. How do you intend to do all these jobs while running the errands, bearing in mind that before evening there will be another set of challenges, like goats going to eat in another person's farm, or one of your animals put to bed and the mother needs assistance with caring for her kids?

Oga Stagger. Good evening. I hope you got my mention?

I've been trying to reach you and drink from your well of knowledge and wisdom. Please sir, kindly reply me. Thanks

A note of caution;

The free waste will start getting sold to you, once the market women see that you're are constantly needing it in larger and larger quantities.

It'll cost you money to build suitable and comfortable pens for each kinds of livestock you intend to keep. And don't even think you can cut corners here. Rabbits need a cage for each unit. As cute as they are, they can be very territorial animals. If you house them togther, don't be surprised if you come and meet blood stains everywhere in your rabbit hutch. Pigs can eat through and even destroy their pen if not properly made, then they'll feast on your lovely chickens. The only animal I believe you can cut corners with are the chickens, you can just make an open shed for them, they'll go there to sleep at night by themselves.


I'll advice you leave goats out of it completely, if you're going to be growing crops around your homestead. Because no matter how strongly you fence your goats, if the fence can't hold water, you can be sure that your goats will find a way to escape and eat all your crops. Houdini (the escape artist) is an apprentice where goats are concerned.

Since you talked about biogas, you'll need to build your pens such that you can always scoop the animal droppings for your biodigester. Mind you, it's not advisable to put sand in a digester.


You also cannot assume that seeds will grow from your animal manure (it rarely happens- you're likely going to get weeds). If you want crops, you may have to plant them yourself and tend to them.

I think I'm going too deep

I'm just so excited to see permaculture in our local context.

Ejikesuv

Permaculture is an excellent idea that can reduce feeding cost of a family to the bearest minimum. And maybe have some left for selling. I'm happy to finally see someone keying into the idea.

Building a biodigester and using biogas for cooking is also a nice sustainable idea.

You can even go one step further and process bio diesel for your power needs.

I'm excited to follow your journey.

He made promises, but didn't give any details on how the inputs will be distributed, when or where it will take place.

Is this another format to siphon his state's funds?

funny comments.

I can't advise, but I'll suggest you first ascertain that you're dealing with a genuine travel Agent.

Start plenty of research about your intended destination. Thanks to the internet, you can seek out platforms where you can read from the locals themselves and have a strong feel for what the current realities are in their country. Remember that Covid has rewritten the narrative in many countries.

Bearing in mind that it'll take some time to put your travel documents in place, you can do well to attach yourself to a practising and successful goat farmer so that you can learn the easy and the cheap way.

If your prospect overseas are looking good, you move with a good knowledge of what to expect, if not you can start your business riding on the knowledge you've gained and the fact that you have a mentor whom you can always run to when the chips are down.

At least, that's what I'll do.

A woman cannot spend a dime on a man without the world knowing, especially if she isn't getting anything back.

I'm sure you've learnt. Things will change and I hope you won't commit the same blunder again
