One thing is certain, Gej till 2019 or Nigeria as we know it ceased to be.
This is no threat. It's a fact. Poverty awaits a lot of people in some places.
Ignore this at your peril.
Anyway never be disturbed cos Jonathan is leaving 2019. Ask me why, it is the fear of the above fact. Stop hoping against hope. It's Jonathan.

You have indeed been thinking with your jaw

Pls Mr Ab1x and other concerned nlers, i just come across one of Mr Ab1x old post in another topic, kindly explain what you mean by this statement please:


" It is important to note that rearing fishes in concrete pond is zero unlike in the earthen pond which is times two of your investment."

Does it mean that rearing fish in concrete pond will not yield profit if the management and feeding is right?

water pump is not ideal for well because of d dept of d well it takes time for it to pump out water and u spend more buying d rubber hose. Why not go for submersible pumping machine wc is less than twenty thousand.

Thank for your advice, i have abandoned the pump for sometimes and i think it could still be useful. Besides i only want to use that as backup when i eventually start

For the people that are going frenzy because of Tambuwal defection, this is the release from House of Representatives declaring that Tambuwal remains the Speaker;

"The House of Representatives yesterday reacted to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP’s, position that the Speaker, Hon. Aminu Tambuwal, should resign following his defection to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

The House said that there were no bases for that since Tambuwal was elected as Speaker by his colleagues.

It explained that the Speakership of the House, or any other national elective position, belongs to Nigerians and not the political platforms upon which such leaders emerge.

A statement by the Deputy Chairman, House Committee on Media and Public Affairs Matters, Hon. Victor Afam Ogene, stated that nobody could regulate the operation and procedure of the House from outside.

He expressed concern that less than 24 hours after Tambuwal’s defection, individuals, party chieftains and groups had gone on frenzy, dishing out varied interpretations to the decision.

He said: “Many of these commentators, rather than correctly stating what the true position of the law and the House rules are, take delight in advertising ignorance of both with some even advocating a recourse to anarchy as a way of achieving what they imagine ought to be the ‘solution’ to the issue.

“Following several inquiries by journalists and some members of the public, it is easy to narrow the concerns to two key issues. One, whether Speaker Tambuwal ought to vacate his seat as representative of Kebbe/ Tambuwal Federal Constituency, Sokoto State, by virtue of Section 68 (1) (g), of the 1999 Nigerian Constitution, as amended; and two, if he shouldn’t step down as Speaker, having defected from the majority party in the House to a minority platform.”

The lawmaker also explained that on the first issue, it was common knowledge that following the defection of 37 members of the House in December 2013 from the PDP to APC, there had been multiple court cases on the matter, rendering it subjudice to discuss any likely outcome.

He, however, advised Nigerians to await final judicial pronouncement on the issue of defection, which had afflicted virtually all political parties.

Citing the case of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, who as a sitting Vice- President moved to another political party, Ogene stated the vicepresident did not get judicial reprobation for the act.

He added that the clear provisions of Section 50(1) (b) of the Nigerian Constitution easily settle the worries regarding the continued Speakership of Tambuwal.

Quoting the law, he said: “There shall be a Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives who shall be elected by the members of that House from among themselves.

“It would, therefore, amount to an affront on members’ privilege to question their constitutionallyguaranteed right to freely elect their leader.

“Additionally, Order 1 Rule 1 (2) of the Standing Orders of the House of Representatives states: “In all cases not provided for hereinafter, or by sectional or other orders, precedents or practices of the House, the House shall by resolution regulate its procedure.

“It is in the light of the foregoing that the House wishes to appeal to those who seek to “regulate its procedure” from outside its hallowed chambers to have a rethink, as the nation’s Constitution, the Standing Orders of the House and precedent – as in the Speakership of the late Hon. Edwin Ume-Ezeoke in the Second Republic on a minority platform – have all provided answers to what would have otherwise been a knotty political issue.”

Aksonman:
But Tambuwal's case is not yet in court and the FG has to defend the constitution.

Bro, action of government is clear case of breach of rule of law?

Do you know that every elected representative is not responsible to the executive but to the constituency as the primary subject and the public as secondary?

If you agree with the above statement, executives cannot and should not override the office of any legislator

It is the members of the hallow chamber that made him speaker and not the Presidency

It was the constituency that elected Tambuwal to represent them.

My point is this, the power to deal with Tambuwal [if he erred] resides with his fellow member and his constituents

publisher:
What does the Nigerian constitution say about defection in the national assembly?

Those making reference to Mimiko's defection are ignorant,as the Nigerian constitution subtly permits defection by Governors.

The Law makers that defected to APC still have a case in court and as such the PDP cannot declare their seats vacant until there is a court ruling.

BUT Tambuwal does not have any case in court challenging the possibility/outcome of his defection and so what the Federal government did was to apply the constitution to the latter. [b]Tambuwal has defected from the PDP when there was no faction, division or crises rocking the party. [/b]This cannot not be said for other lawmakers that defected when the so-called New-PDP was formed.

Tambuwal has just ruined his political future.

@ Bolded, allow the court to determine that anything outside that is impunity

The implication of FG action can be dangerous, what if anything happen to Tambuwal after this withdrawal, when we all know that security situation in this country is terrible?

How will the government prove its innocence?

This is not the first time a legislator of Federal Republic of Nigeria will decamp from one party to another, nothing happened when Obanikoro decamped then from AD to PDP, recent decamp by Gov. Mimiko and his co travellers in Ondo house of Assembly into PDP was equally applauded by PDP sympathizers, why the beef because Tambuwal decamped. This shows that PDP under the leadership of President GEJ has exhausted all its strategy to dismantle the opposition to no avail. This is a clear show of impunity and highhandedness, it is now getting clearer what Jonathan government meant for this nation, but someone should tell him that if he cannot reform he should not destroy. Shikena

PDP has always been number one breaker of law, they profess the rule of law yet be the first to break it. Why cant FG uses judiciary to propagate its course, while resulting to this shame of inferiority in order to prove a point.

Sutsillac:
If u can't install it urself, my advice is to get a good plumber to Install it for u. But my main concern is If the well will be able to supply ur water needs efficiently..

Thank you bros, I intend using the well to "test run" and conduct practical on what i have learned so far, and possibly for hatchery.

I suspect i need to fixed FOOT VALVE to the pumping machine for it to pump. I will fixed by weekend and post the result.

Sloan:
Buhari+Fashola => Will deliver entire NW, NE, Most of NC, entire SW. It should deliver in Edo State at the very least.
Amaechi would be better for the Senate. He might deliver Rivers State but that is one state compared to multiple states in the SW. Also, at the last minute PDP might go tribal and start fear-mongering people in the SS, especially using the Ibos (SE), saying all kinds of tribalistic and false statements just like APGA used in Anambra State to win the elections. In the SW, their is nothing tribalistic you can say about anyone that people will not individually consider, plus ibos are the least to even advise Yorubas how they should vote. In the SS, there are still parts that have ibos who now bear SS names, and who will readily buy the propaganda. Such propaganda will never sell in the SW.

So Buhari+Fashola gets the most votes!

I will vote either of them as VP, however i concur with your submission

vicadex07:
PDP IS OUR MAIN PROBLEM IN NIGERIA. ALL THEY KNOW HOW TO DO IS CHOP CHOP AND CHOP

Leadership at all level has failed the masses of this country, however there are few exceptional who standout among the crowd to prove their worth, BRF readily comes to mind. The way and manner Lagos government responded to Ebola outbreak makes me conclude that if given opportunity at the national level could springs surprises. He is one of the few we can rely on to tame the crises bedeviling power sector in 2015 if we so desire improvement of this sector.

It equally shows that the problem of this country is not the followers but leaders because a responsible government will always be supported by the followers just like Nigerian supported her government to purge the country of the deadly Ebola

Looking at the crowd i must say this in my mother language, Wee wee is shaking me!

Sepp360:
Ebola is a serious virus, and can take an African's man life.

I quite agree with your statement above and i think the fear of being contacted spurred our government into taking decisive action

But epileptic electricity aint a virus, and it can't kill an african man.[/quote]

No, do you know the number of people that died daily because of lack of electricity to powered hospital equipment in case of emergency?

Do you know that people are poor not because of laziness, ignorant or education but because the society lack basic amenities i.e electricity that could have made them vibrant?

Do you know the number of sacked people that are dying daily of hunger because their employer fold up for lack of electricity?

Why do you think the average life expectancy of Africans is less than 60years? this is as a result of many factors of which electricity cannot be downplayed

How come Nigerian Government was able to contain Ebola spread and eventually eliminate this deadly virus within few weeks but fail to fixed our electricity problem that has been killing majority of Nigerians indirectly for lack of employment.

Does it means that Ebola knows no strata but the elite can survive without fixing the nation's power problem through the provision of powerful generators which they bought for themselves at the expense of the masses?

Does it mean our government {Federal + State} genuinely fought Ebola to a standstill or it was borne out of fear of being contacted?

Could one wish electricity is viewed as deadly as Ebola? Then the electricity problem will be a solve within one year.

What is your take?

Tbagwell1:
Someone once told me dat Abuja consume about 50million Naria worth of fish weekly. I think that explain y fish has to be imported from the south, the same thing applies to my location Makurdi, Benue state, I know of a woman who usually buy a truck load of fish from Ibadan every week. The farmers in abuja nd environs can't meet up with d demand 4 fish, hence dre is need 4 importation locally.

That means catfish production will be profitable in Abuja with the right management as Oga Robonski pointed out irrespective of the high cost of production, right?

Pls how can Gasolin [Petrol] Water Pump be used to pump water from a well? The type of the water pump is the one normally used to pump water from river. Any idea from members of the house please.

You can view the link below to see a similar pics of the pump

robonski15:
sorry for the late response..

1. we cant conclude that fish business is more viable in the south than north.. The price of feed in the north is a bit high with a corresponding increase in the price of fish..

2. Both type of pond culture are good, depending on the knowledge of operation. A farmer using a concrete pond will be doing well than another using an earthen pond if the right knowledge is not applied.. we have seen farmers loosing out in both earthen and concrete. All what we need is the right knowledge of the type of pond culture one wants to venture into.

3. The price of fish has increased in the past ten years, sometimes back a kg of fish was 250-300.. Though the price of fish has been static due to the monopoly of the market women.

4.depends on the overall management, if u don't play by the rules you loose out.

5. poultry has its own "wahala" i have met people who have vowed never to go back to poultry business again.. both fish and poultry has its do's and dont's.

Thank you bro for your response

excelsiorfarm:
just to add a thing or two to what my bro wrote, poultry is more risky than fish farming, d consultant that gave the analysis above, especially in abuja, most likely isn't doing fish biz. A lot of fishes leave from lagos, ibadan , ogbomoso to abuja because of d ROI, and fish farming can be concluded as a biz with limited stress when all d parameters(knowledge, funds,water, feeding) are right. Every biz has its challenges, even sleeping has its challenges

Yes i quite agree with you that large amount of catfish consumed in Abuja is being imported from, south, i.e., Lagos, Ibadan, Ogbomosho etc.
Does that not explained my fear that catfish business is less profitable in the north?
Or do we agree that there are limited fish farmers in and around abuja? As well as limited knowledge to manipulate production to maximise profit?

Having read up to this page i can say that i have completed my Fishery 101 and thanks must be giving to the gurus in the house who make this discussion robust, educative and informative, thanks to Robonski 15, Exellecorfarm, Abx 1, Juve farm, Phemmy, Ayosat and other gurus in the house.

This has led me into going into next stage by seeking practical consultation within my area in Abuja to know the viability of the business, this led me to a consultant with a degree in Fishery who express his reservation on fish farming in this part of the country for following reasons:
According to him,

1. Fish business is more viable in the south compare to north
2. Earthen pond is better than concrete pond because of its ability to absorb wastes and less usage of water
3. The cost of foreign feeds has increased from N2500 to over N5000 in the last 10years without the correspondent increase in the cost of fish
4. The profit after the cost of feed does not measure with the input and labour
5. The same amount of input would generate more returns when ventured into poultry

Although most his concerned have been discussed in the post above, yet the different in location south/north could make a big different in success or failure of catfish business. While i believe there exist different means of maximising profit among fish farmers in the south by the usage of local and formulated feed to reduce the expenses and increase the profit because of the availability of the components in different parts of the south, the same cannot be said about fish farmers in Abuja who largely depend on foreign feeds from inception to maturity.

How can a farmer in Abuja make profit despite the huge cost of foreign feed and non availability of local component to formulate local feeds that are less expensive?

Please i need answered to the questions from the farmers in Abuja and environs and other gurus i.e. Robonski, Exellecorfirm, Abx 1 and others who have been genuinely impacting, educating and sharing their knowledge free of charge on this forum

I intend rearing learning hatching to get my seed to be stocked in 2 10X10 concrete ponds beginning from January

Also when digging a borehole what should be the needed water level for catfish rearing, i heard of something like [neutral] dont really understand it

Also what is the cost effect of flow through system over concrete pond that uses aerator to supply the needed oxygen

Your opinion on the above question is welcome

Good analysis, wonder why people detest fact, either they likes it or not GMB will win 2015 election

You lied, there are more anti-Jonah topics than the boko haram leader. It just shows you're anothed jweed looking to open yet another anti jonah thread. Good try at being neutral.

Could it have been the fear of GMB that prompt higher discussion than the incumbent or his popularity, your genuine contribution please without bashing

Ikengawo:
Buhari is the entertainment of the week, which is fine jare. To be fair, should he get any of the proceeds? He overthrew a democratically elected government, scrapped the constitution and imposed totalitarian rule to a level unseen prior by silencing the media through assassination, beatings, vandalism of properties and arrests. Should he even get 10%?

I used to believe you are one the finesse and critical thinkers of Nairaland until this your submission. How can you be blinded with hate? What do you have to say about IBB, Obansanjo, Gowon and Abubakar who ruled this country as military leader

I know GMB has been a man with integrity but can never believe he could have done this for his country. This is a great sacrifice, and i hope this is true, then i will put all my effort to bring on board our own "MANDELA"

Complexalfa:
They keep telling us how clueless gej
is but they forgot to tell us how rapid
nigeria has developed over the yrs
with him in power.
These shiit,forgot to tell us about the
over 130 special schools built
specially for those abandoned kids in
d north which they tagged "almajiris".
They all forget that,i as a person never
saw a train in motion until GEJ made it
possible.


They forgot to tell us that gej has built
over 9 new federal universities in
nigeria with about 6 of them bin in d
north.
They forgot telling us that agriculture
was looked down upon and people
tend to view it as a job for the poor
untill gej turns in to a gold mine.

These guys also forgot to tell us that
my state,akwa ibom was once
unheard of untill gej and Godswill
akpabio came on board.
Nobody heard of jigawa,enugu and
akwa ibom when development was
bin discussed untill sule
lamido,Godswill akpabio and sulivan
chime came into power.

God bless u GEJ
GOD bless me Complexalfa
God bless u all sincere advocate for
