That goat ain't cheap to import, trust me..

-That,s what the Min of Agriculture is expected to do.
- Import some Kalahari goats and cross breed with our local goats
- And/or get semen for artificial insemination.
-Distribute to farmers nationwide at subsidized price
- We should have all these exotic hybrids of animals(goats & cows) in Nigeria by now

Na only MOU we dey see, no concrete results on ground

Brent
- breaking 80 resistance , higher prices to come with shorts squeezed out

(CBN cant complain wt reserves getting a much needed support but d subsidy burden will only get worse)

Outlook for Seplat keep looking bright with this .

wanaj0:
It depends on what they are regulating.

CBN is there to ensure that depositors money are safe. They are not looking after interests of shareholders

SEC regulates capital market operators. SEC will not stop you from investing in any company that you like. They however ensure that the companies have full disclosure and appropriate fines accordingly.

It is the shareholders that should ensure good performance of the companies they invest in! Shareholders are the cause of the problem partly because they do not see themselves as 'owners' of the company. Owners should not behave like some shareholders are doing.

Regulators don't determine which shares we buy!

Dont agree with you !

- CBN, SEC etc need to ensure full disclosure by corporate bodies.
- SEC, CBN etc will not determine which shares you will buy, but they have a responsibility in ensuring the integrity of data submitted by companies which shareholders based their investment decision.
- They have failed us in this core function.
- You simply wonder how CBN and other regulators could not detect Skye Bank has two financial books and outrageous N280bn in suspense accounts to hide various losses and infractions. Most coys are guilty of this practice.
- We have to accept that there is a high level of romance BTW regulators and top management of coys. BGL case & brokerage scandal in Partnership Investment Securities are just examples of numerous cases.http://judefejokwu..com/2017/02/another-brokerage-scandal-rocks-nigeria.html

Has he turned around his state yet, that he wants to turn around Nigeria...

Does he even know how big Nigeria is?

Let him turn around his hometown, Otukpo.

Jaqenhghar:
NOUN is useless. They just come, give you books to read and thats all. No tutoring nothing

Wrong statement.

University of London also have something similar to NOUN. Give you books to read with some assignments and face their exams.
It is tough. Heriott Watt also have something close to this format too... also damn tough too.

U have to read those books and understand, there is no short cut !!!!

Mizwisdom:
I'm puzzled as to why majority of visa applicants are from the South, is it that people from the North love Nigeria so much?

Need books?
contact me via orderbooksng@gmail.com

Northern folks also apply for visa but they dont stay back as illegal immigrants.

All my Northern friends that did their masters and PHD abroad are back in Nigeria lecturing in their local university. I dont know how they do it, but they simply prefer to stay in their local environment.

Mpeace:
Zenith is really fighting hard not to fall under 20.

Ummm.. lets wait till November.... maybe i can pick it up for like N15

Mpeace:
Hmm... $80 loading. Not looking good for bonanza guys.

Just hope this bearish period can push Seplat below N500

Hw much will fix Ipad 3 mini front screen and touch

freeman67:
Na kilishi we said ooo.. People were sabi the market well go still make more for this period pass TBills and dollar..

Pre election jitters and heightened insecurity will likely weigh down on the equity sector.
Anyone in the mkt now should have a medium to long term outlook

velo10:
No sir. You may need to go higher. If serious, kindly call the above number

Can you post image of the dell ?

55k..

sillysassysally:
This is a very flawed reasoning.

Warren Buffett once said that as an investor, it is wise to be “Fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.”

The market is going to go quiet soon - when the earnings season is over and when there are no bullish triggers to propel stocks higher. It'll be a very good time to take position in stocks that would likely report solid Q3 numbers. You can't keep waiting for "one big rally" somewhere.

Looking on to Tbills, yields are around 10% and the expectation is that election risks would pressure rates even higher so if you want to lock in something long now, you'd be biting yourself.

I like Buffet but most of us can take the above decision cos we don't have the kind of money he has. He has the war chest to buy coys & take risk.

Good morning fellow NLers. A friend of mine raised the sum of 2.2m with the aim of starting some cool business with good returns. But the ideas aren’t really coming. I mean the genuine and realistic ones. It’s been from one fraudster to another. Totally he has lost almost 150k to them. Some want to sell ideas, some want to patner but they all turned out to be fraud. So I decided to share it with the house. He needs:
• A good business idea that can yield the profit and capital in a very short time, i.e 3 months
Or
• A good investment idea with a good return rate, i.e 10% monthly.

Cc Lalasticlala dominique mynd44 MrKnowitall pls move it to the front page. Thank you.

Tell the guy to buy a Sharan Bus with like 1.4 to 1.5m.
Register it in a private park with good route.
He will double that money in 2 yrs if he can drive the bus.

Positivepoint:
i am from the north and i was given 2 years visa even though i only spent 2 weeks. They even called me that i am back so early is it that i didnt enjoy the stay or when am i going back. i ve never heard from any northerner visa application being rejected. they usually give us two years

Cos they know Notherners don't stay back as illegal immigrant. I have friends in the North that did their Masters abroad, all of them are back in Naija in the academic sector.

We all know that all those guys going for Masters are not coming back to
Nigeria. Those guys in the U.S. Embassy Know it ....

You need to package yourself to show you are coming back to Nigeria.For example,
Have a good business with reasonable turnover and assets on ground .
U need to show them u can't just afford to sit down in Yankee when u have a good biz in Naija

Destinydele:
Good morning investors; my tb mature august second though i tick roll Over; can i go and add money before the roll Over date

Give your bankers a counter instruction not to rollover on maturity. It will drop in ur acct, then u can add money and issue a fresh instruction

This is a simple housing format that u can adopthttps://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ-7NgjEQr4wJHtwjCbXSNaSqMmghvp5ZNGPgel4gkce2O_BJ4

This is not commendable. State govt need to step up their game to empower Nigerians.

What is the essence of giving them chicks without providing access to market?

Organize these women into Clusters
Teach them best practices and give them chicks
Link them to market that they can supply at guaranteed prices

EMMAACHILE:
Indian local goat breeds are better than our local goats here. Check their weights. Forage crops are not usually available in urban areas just like op case.

Ops need to look at AI to get better breeds and improve on the WAD if weight is a major factor.
U can get land in developing areas in urban areas to plant your forage needs
Folks are rearing dairy cows in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya
Ops should make more research and have a sound business plan

Corn silage....hmmmm

2 acres of land .....hmmmm that i can use to rake in the sales of 100 goats in a year with crops. How many goats will 2 acres feed? Just trying to understand livestock operational management in Nigeria.

Legume fodder in addition, plus many other goodies.

Is it really worth the investment and stress? 2 acres of land? For start small, grow big goat business? 2 acres?
Medications not yet included.

I need to really see the start up cost and operational costs of this kind of proposal.

I am not against livestocks, but it seems it is not worth the kind of energy we put in it.

That 2 acres is what I am still trying to see. I think hydroponic fodder is the way forward, and not 2 acres fodder. And I have to install sprinkler during dry season for goats?

Maybe you need to really explain this well. Looks like I am missing many things here.

Even pigs, poultry, fish businesses are all same to me. It is always the extreme high cost of feeding. How can the cost of feeding ONLY be over 70% of total cost of production? And then you start picking up crops and fodder farming to make them work well. Just my concern. One can easily grow corn to make profit. One can easily grow soy to make profit. But one starts growing maize and soy to make livestock businesses profitable is what I still do not understand. Most of these livestock farmers eventually abandon livestock when they see the profit in the corn and soy if sold for human consumption.

Or am I missing anything here?

Maybe we all need to turn to vegetarian. If you get veggie right, I swear, you will never near livestock. You just need them for manure production. Honestly.

This get me really thinking deep again.

Corn silage is affordable & cheaper and can be made available throughout the year.
Hydroponic fodder is not cheap cos you still need to buy the grains and also deal with fluctuation in grain prices locally.
It is suicide to plan your herds need on supply of grain from our local mkt and having a b/ward integration to have your grain needs cover may be a suitable alternative.
The only alternative to the above scenario is to plant specialized grass and maintain the grass. It is said that some grass can give up to 100 tons to 200 tons per acre for a year. It is dirty cheap to maintain one acre of green grass to buying tons of grains in the mkt for hydroponic fodder.

This is the recommended practice for keeping dairy cows in Kenya, Ugandan etc which had been largely successful.
Market is the problem for most livestock farmers in the country, the absence of off takers in this segment is a major factor why farmers abandon their farms.

EMMAACHILE:
Raising a local goat or goats on intensive ranching will never yield profit due to the low reproduction capability and the slow growth of goats. The cost of feeding will kill you even if you decide to use fodder.

It's like raising local chicken in pens. It will always be a loss. Your best bet aside poultry is pig, rabbits or even catfish where fodder can be used extensively for the former two mentioned here and their improved breeds are available unlike goats.

I dont agree with you on this.

Intensive goat ranching is all over India and its sister countries. There is need to have enough knowledge to plan and make profit.
Cost of feeding can be reduced significantly by having control over your feed resources, i.e plant all your forage requirements.

Have corn silage available
Have one or two acre of green fodder grass
Have legume fodder like Lucerne and tree fodder
Make plans to have affordable concentrate

Bear no good ooo. See wetin bear don turn people to. It's so funny that people can't control their emotions in this bear market and we ain't see anything yet. Warren Buffet said
"You shouldn't own common stocks if a 50% decrease in their value in a short period of time would cause you acute distress."
I pray people won't commit suicide by the time Zenith touches 10 naira similar to what happened in 2015.

Buffet quote is suicide for some folks, our ability to take and manage risk differs.
I purchase common stocks, but I cant watch my portfolio have a 50% decrease.
The rational thing is to exit stocks and place funds in money market instruments to cushion your loss in stocks and preserve your capital.
He that fights and run away will live to fight another day.
