Please explain to your dad that your next of kin is "expected" to out live you so a sibling, spouse or child is most appropriate choice

Wow! That's an interesting perspective. I have never thought of this, to be honest.

OP, talk for yourself (I see you have even deleted your account). Stop being bitter for those who still have what you have lost.

I do care. In fact, any virgin fit call me on my number.

CuddleBear:
how can you be poor and have 5 kids and one coming through

Huh? Tell me you're joking. So you haven't seen poor families with 7+ children?

When I see such, I am almost moved to judging them - I probably judge them. God have mercy.

chiommy123:
Its not that women can't do it but the way this guys will behave after that. You know most of them have pride in them.

Chioma, na you be that. I see you.

From advice i have stopped sharing my trades here, Active students will keep getting trades on the group. Meanwhile i will keep sharing information here to help the masses.

I will keep sharing basic information daily for educational purposes.

Question concerning broker: What broker do i use now?

Answer: It is highly confidential and only revealed to my group students because other brokers will keep blocking your trade, 90% of them.

When did you share the trades in question? I mean you only started this thread yesterday and I can't even seen any here.

First thing is to set up your landing page with your BUY IT NOW price before contacting end users. Some of the end users may not even reply but will visit the Domain directly if interested and if the buy now price is within their budget, they purchase over there without even contacting you at all. Seems that most of them don't have much time.

Thanks, bro. That's actually what I meant by "Namesilo lander." I only listed the name on Afternic for promotion on its network.

But I am sure it was one of those contacted that bought it.

One approach I'm thinking of adopting going forward is quoting a slightly higher price on Afternic.

izsmike:
Invest it in learning drop shipping and start it up and thank me later

Hi, bro. Are you sure this really pays?

A piece of advice for people like me who are trying to find their feet in this domaining stuff.

If an end user you contact asks you for price, consider sending them link to your preferred marketplace where you listed the name when replying - that's if you have specified a BIN price. I learnt this the hard way with a small sale ($xx) recently.

I used a Namesilo lander before sending emails to end users. My thought was that interested persons would check the domain in their browser if interested.

A couple replied indicating interest and asking for the price. I gave the low BIN. About a couple of hours later, I received a notification from Afternic that the name had been sold via their network. You know what that meant - higher fees for nothing!

Learn from my naivety, newbies.

SmilingMary:
Exactly. Whether black or yellow Asian, she's representing one country, Japan. Do you still see AJ carries Nigeria flag again. He's British now

Sorry, sir, the question was whether she's Asian or mixed. It wasn't about country.

Nice thread!


Ekiti has an awesome hilly geography
which if well harnessed will bring in foreign
exchange from tourism. I've been to Ikogosi
Warm Springs Resort in Ekiti West LGA.


Ekiti State also has very successful and
upwardly mobile guys in the Diaspora [Lagos,
Ibadan, PH, U.K., Canada, U.S. and
you would never know until you are told they
come from Ekiti via especially the paternal
lineage. Some that I have met have never been to the State. But at least Ikere-Ekiti gave us Sade Adu
who has won multiple Grammy Awards since 1985, which
is something to be proud of!


Lanre Olusola [whose family name was
originally Kupoluyi. Lanre Olusola is a
very intelligent and popular financial trainer and lifecoach] is also originally from Usi-Ekiti
[His father was a Senior Financial Comptroller with Dunlop in Lagos and he passed on in the first Nigerian commercial passenger plane crash in 1969 while flying into Lagos from London].


Some citizens in the civil service state
can do with more financial education to rise
above the subsistence living which I saw in
some places in the state and duly amplified by
the recourse to using their land for mass
Indian Hemp production which has to stop
in favour of proper agribusiness value-chain
ventures.

Interesting. Never knew Ikogosi is in local government!

Deelola:
hello HooxJnr I had my surgery in February this year.yes,you need to have 650k.I use contact lenses instead of the usual thick eye glass.cheers

Hi! Saw your diary entry but not allowed to comment. I have a curious question: what's your line of work? Nothing more than pure curiosity here. Thanks.

prettysassygirl:
Only you is Steve,Stephen,kelvin,mick,martin,only you too is 27 yrs,28yrs and 30yrs,which one we go take brother Linus.

Wehdon, ma. Detective of life! That's an instance of casting your nets abroad.

I initially thought this was a joke. If I were the OP, I'd hide this conversation from third eyes. But here he was posting everything on a public forum.

Damn! Some statements up there would make me think better than to let another person see them. Rather emasculating! Oh, well.

iykepromotions:
let me give you a clue; increase the price in your BIN with an option of make an offer and contact him again. Tell me the outcome.

Interesting, this. I may try this one as well. Thanks for sharing.

But I am wondering what the reasoning behind this might be. Care to share?

hourl:
I opened my hunter.io acct easily even with gmail, but I used vpn to change my location to Japan or so and I received the code on my mtn instantly. I think they're just frustrating Nigerians.

I thought the same as well, bro.

otoboson:
This is most likely due to your sim service provider, try with a Glo number.

Sadly, I'm not with my Glo SIM presently.

awoofawoo:
Just borrow from someone closed to you....wife, brother, girlfriend, sister in fact anyone you fit borrow from to receive the code...

Good idea. But who knows I might need to use same number later when the owner may not be accessible. Rather inconvenient.

I may have to settle for a Hunter rival eventually.

awoofawoo:
Try and find airtel Sim to use...... Can you receive mail through you dedicated email?

Bro, that network don show me pepper so tey I promise myself never to near it again.

Yes, I do receive emails with both personalised addresses that I used.

Wehdon, sir! You copied other people's info and pretended it's yours. What are you trying to do?

awoofawoo:
What service did you used to personalized your dedicated email..... Maybe I can help

I don't think that is the issue. The problem is that I am not getting verification SMS.

I used Zoho for the first email address and a hosted domain email address the second time.

awoofawoo:
SMS verification through airtel number

Registered again with a different browser, personalised email and phone number. Still no show, no SMS. I even deactivated DND to no avail.

I taya!

Yeah, right.

awoofawoo:
Still working just did mine this morning with airtel thus......dedicated email setup

You got the verification SMS?

Of course, I used a personalised email address. The problem came when I tried to unlock the account to use after registering.

Seeing others around here using the service, I don't understand what Giovanni was trying to explain about IP address and domain name anymore.

jamih:
Clear your browser cache and try again, it might be a glitch in their system

Thanks, bro. I was actually informed about the IP and domain name email part after contacting support.

So, it doesn't appear cache was the issue.

jamih:
on their site, beside the contact us they sometimes put their actual email address.
whoxy and whoisology dot com still show some whois.
hunter dot io and clearbit dot com

Bro, how did you get an Hunter account? I tried getting one last week but was denied.

I couldn't get the verification SMS. When I contacted I was informed my IP address (can't remember whether it was MTN or 9mobile) and domain name had been banned.

It was my first time of trying to register.

fluentinfor:
@kunleweb, good suggestion. I understand you very well.

OP, be an entrepreneur before becoming a farmer. There is wealth of information here on nairaland you can use. However, it may be exhausting, and you may not know where to start. I feel you.

Let me help you, start with market research to know what to do.

First: Decide if it is long term biz or short term.
Second: livestock or crops.
Third: Do you want to own a farm or you want to do processing and packaging?

And many more questions you must answer.

1 million naira is nothing these days. At the same time, you can use it to build a good business. So, it can fly away in just a twinkling of an eye, or can build an empire.

Listen, if you are smart, you do not need to attend any training on farm for 6 months. Some people need it, while some do not. I did not attend any training before I started. I trained myself. All I did was to attach myself to experts. And today, those experts consult me. Also, buying seed from sellers who work with experienced farmers is rewarding. As soon as they know you are their customer, they can even visit your farm.

But if you think you need to be on farm for 12 months, go for it. For livestock, try to make yourself worthy so you can observe a farmer. There are procedures you must learn with livestocks, and secrets you must know. You may need to know hydroponic to survive some livestock businesses, and you may need to formulate your feed to perform excellently in others. You may need to study hard too. Do not be deceived, you will need the internet for serious research, except you want to rely on another person. And once you do that, you cannot be better than him/her.

I think it is easier to start crops than livestocks. Just my own accessment. And it seems the profit in crops is more than livestocks farming. Just my personal opinion too.

If you have time, and you can monitor your farm, go for veggie. If you do not have time, go for trees: papaya or plantain. Make sure you make research very well. Do not just buy suckers from anyone. You can get good deals. I mean excellent deals than those on this nairaland.

Let me ask you, if you are doing plantain or papaya, are you going to stay with a farmer in the bush for 6 months to learn? Maybe with veggie, ok. Maybe. But even you are doing veggie, it may not take you that long period to get it right. It is a fact I can defend anywhere. And you do not need to suffer yourself in the bush for the sake of learning. You can teach yourself. The teacher teaching you might not attend 6 months program when s(he) started, so why can't you not do it without 6 months training? But anyone whose intelligence level is low may stay up to 12 months and serve the trainer very well. Not bad! It is a matter of choice.

Let me ask you this again. There are big boys in the oil sector that own farms. Do you think they went for training in a bush for 6 months? Let us be realistic. Where is the time to go for training? OP, if you're rich, and you've like 30 million naira to invest, do you see yourself spending 6 months in a bush? Be realistic.

So, ask yourself, what did those successful people do? Go ask most of those who jumped to farm for 6 months training without carrying out proper research, they graduated, and started working for big boys earning N30,000 to N50,000 monthly salary. It is a fact. You have this 1 million naira, make sure you do not squander it. If you do, you will also turn to " a beg to apply as a supervisor/manager on farms, i learned in the bush for 12 months, I am experienced" lol..

Market Research First! Business Research follows! Then, get involved with people who will help, and not those who will destroy you. It is a process you need to take. When you have carried out your research excellently, no one can easily destroy you. But when you are lazy, you are a free meat for them.

It is your money. Sit down, make thorough research. Find fish farmers and ask many questions. When you are done, move to a pig farmers. Snail, poultry, grasscutter, rabbit, cattle, goat, sheep, etc. Take note everything. Then, move to crops: cassava, plantain, pineapple, veggie, papaya, etc.

I feel your pain sir. I can give you free info on veggie, papaya, plantain, pineapple and some other stuff. Then, i can link you with another trusted farmer who can add more to it, and also give you info on fish, poultry, rabbit and grasscutter. If he knows you are from me, he will attend to you. I can give you livestock info, but I will let the guy who knows short cuts and deeper secrets to take you. Afterall, if I want to do any of them, I will have to consult him too.

Thenafter, approach other farmers for more info. Compare everytning you have. Then, sit down and decide what you want to do. It will take you time, but it is worth it at the end of the day.

I do not spoon feed. If you can tweak your brain, you will enjoy working with me. If you cannot, you will find it frustrating. It is the truth. Decision making is a process.

More areas of thought:

1. I want to recover my investment fast, and my level of risk taking is high.

2. I want an extreme low risk area, and I do not mind low ROI. I just do not want to lose my money

3. I can afford to spend millions continuously for 5 years before making profit. But when the profit starts coming, they are like money rituals.

4. I cannot visit my farms, except on weekends.

5. I have more than enough time to sleep on farm and monitor workers. And so on.....


Send me email or get me through telegram. Best of luck!

Let me start by apologising for reviving a somewhat stale thread. I just felt like commenting.

You made some valid points in this post and others I have read. Well done!

But permit me to state that N50,000 is significant for anyone who has no job and is tired of staying idle. Your advice mainly applies to people like the OP.

As for jethro2, I can't fault her either. She also has her points. I was actually contemplating participating in her training at some point until I saw another that would be taking place at a nearer location.

Someone like me just want to have a feel of agribusiness to better assess if it's something I'd want to really do. I actually think of this as a way of first doing my research, since the time is there, while also being trained.

I couldn't find your Telegram handle, sir. It will be a pleasure to get useful information and ideas from your wealth of experience.

TrumpsWall:
This is exactly why she doesn't need to keep hold of the code and put it public .. how many emails does she want to bloody manage and keep up with

Absolutely no sense in it! .. not your fault though so no blames

There is, sire!

These are 'Nairaland' leagues. You must be a member here to get code for the classic league.

When the codes used to be public, non-members (even people whom I suspect to only come here to get the codes) used to take over the show.

But the classic code could have been made public all the same since no prizes are involved.

As for the H2H leagues, only 'serious' people are needed - not those who abandon their teams mid-season.

Mukina2, Mukinatu! Abeg helep me reserve my FA Cup code.

Last season's FA Cup 'regular-season' winners (e pain me gan), and 7th overall in classic league.

Nice share. It's this kind of thing that drives me close to despondency sometimes when thinking about this country. Imagine a hike of about 4000%!

As the writer noted, this happens in practically all government offices. How did we get here? The current older generations have failed us!

^^^Who is talking about deception here? Some people sha.
