Peter Obi might be a good man, he is not really a problem or trying copying anyone, his followers are the biggest problem that might cost him a lot of votes before February.

The man may be inexperience at this level but he is trying his possible best to reach out to people he think can give him votes. Obidients should please allow this man to do his thing in peace without unnecessary hype or tag of being a messiah. You don't need to insult or course others to defend him, let him and his campaign team do the talking where it necessary or important.

Now that you had insulted hell out of other candidates, and your candidate did the same, how would you defend that? Let be guild in our utterances toward one another.

Some people like to play with emotions of others on Internet. When we People realise that many come to political rallies for frivolous reasons and not base on their support for the candidates. 80% of those at rallies went there to see dignitaries they normally see on their TVs, (fact).

Besides, every politician on the ballot can easily gather large crowd up north. I have seen the same massive turn out in APC, NNPP and LP, what is so surprise about this one.

Fiscus105:
Go and update urself before ignorant destroy you ok.

Update in what sense?

Have they fully implement all I listed and see not working before introduce 20k daily withdrawal limit?

Are digital transactions free? Have they introduce compulsory ATMs cards to everyone linking to BVN? Have they made available very low cost easy use POS machines to traders and business centers in the country? Have they introduce a program where everyone, especially uneducated people would be taught important and how to transact digitally?

To some of you siding this man thinking he is fighting vote buying, your eyes will clear when he finally destroyed Nigeria economy.

How on earth will you introduce this wicked policy in a society that almost all her entire citizens transacts physically.

Make 1000 and 500 a scarce commodity, let the highest denominations depense by ATMs be 200 notes or less. Impose high taxes and charges on heavy withdrawal and deposits. Encourage zero charges on all electronics transfers.

This will gradually discourage people from holding cash and opt for electronics transactions.

bonechamberlain:
France fought well and gallantly, tlbu they should have an alternate keeper for penalties, Lloris is a failure in the area.

Congrats to Mbappe the next world's best player. 8 goals in a world cup, first and only world cup final hat-trick. Your Idol Ronaldo would be proud.

Ronaldo de Lima also had 8 goals in 2002 world Cup. Messi will win another world best for the 8th Times

Argentina will have themselves to blame if they eventually lose this cup. Very funny coach, you want to defend for 45min, remove your most vibrant attacking player.

See as Argentina reduce almighty France to nothing. Let hope they change their game plan in the second half.

No one should compare Measi with any footballer on earth again.

FreshFarmAgro:
I hope you can agree with me that i wasn't wrong about creating this post now. Sometimes, we don't know what we truly need.

Btw, I think from what you posted about your ordeals, you need to work more on your organizational structure. Let me explain, For almost eight years I was the key supplier for a food product for one of the foremost food retail shops in urban Lagos, and during delivery I always get access to behind the scenes, the kitchen, the store, the staffs etc and I saw rigorous organizational structure that they knew what even two dices of maggi could produce ( soup or food quantity ) and the finances such will produce.

The owners never ever visited to my knowledge during the eight years of my doing business with them, and there was never a case of organizational issues ( to a massive scale ), though they had minors but easily detected it because of their exhaustive routines. I think you need such structure. I've adopted this in my case. Even f i drop a bag of rice with my workers, they and I know the number of days/weeks/months it will last. Same applies to feed use and distribution. And i try as much as possible as sticking to the routine. However profitable any business may ever be, the moment I do not know the ins and outs on a regular basis, i do not put my hand.


I always like to have a clear managerial structure of everything I do on a day to day basis. So, if for example, feed that should last a week finishes in three days, I know there's theft. Also, i do not excessively stockpile resources. Example, I need up to 120 bags of NPK by March next year. I will be buying on a 5-30 bags basis, so we use and apply. before the next batch comes in to avoid theft caused by accumulation of resources.

If you have feed suppliers close by, avoid stockpiling excessively. In the end, business without supervision is not business

No sir, you are not wrong by creating this post. Like I said earlier, broilers business is one of the best out there especially if you have market and resources. Your asking of what led to the collapse of my broilers business structure prompted me to narrate my experience.

And if you read it again, you will see that everything that happened was above my power or control even after putting every effort in place. It doesn't mean you or any other person will experience the same, it is just as it be on my side.

1. You will never know if they are stealing your feed or not except you stay in the farm 24/7. They cant steal my birds as we take stock at the end of every production circle but you see feed, there is no way you will know. You may ask them to give the birds 5 bags, and they will give them 3 bags, and if you are not always there, you will never know. As for the result, there is nothing you can do about that because they will insist they carry out your instruction by giving them everything. Though I later realised maybe CCTV could've lessen the effect to a certain extent.

2. Outbreak is when there is flu like diseases( severe gumboro or Newcastle). You may ďo all the vaccination in this world and still experience it. Besides, most of the vaccine being sold in the markets has lost its potent due to breakdown of coolness chain, and the sellers will never disclose this to you.

3. The coldroom that got spoiled was completely non of my making.

4. The attack on bitcoin wallet and after match of it was also not of my making.

Sometimes, there are circumstances that are beyond our control, let just hope we are always fortunate in whatever we are doing.

Wish you all the best in your endeavour.

If I am to be Obi, I won't even bother myself for their endorsements because these old generals has absolutely no electoral value. Infact, it is a waste of precious time seeking their support.

Obi might need charismatic vibrant politicians to defect to LP or openly endorse him and stop seeking support of these pathetic old generals. The same set of greedy leaders that destroyed anything good about this country.

FreshFarmAgro:
About loses, i have heard of people losing their entire stock

God help us. This means one viable alternative to consider is having layer chickens on the side

Yes, have layers as well.

FreshFarmAgro:
Wow. Such a sad ordeal. Thanks for sharing. I'll be mindful of these

You seemed like everything was going on well with/for you. What collapsed your business bro? Mind sharing?

Lolz, the only person outside my family that I partially told about this is one good brother from Nairaland (who now live in USA). But will tell you here, maybe you can pick one or two things especially in the area of working within your capacity.

Like I said before, it all started with yearly workers who stole so much feed and birds before I discovered. Glut as a result of covid- 19 lockdown. Diseases outbreak which killed alot of birds especially Turkies( about 1000 pieces of 2 months old, both local and foreign) and 1400 point of sell broilers. After this, I got mature birds from other farms for processing, and the rented cold room got spoiled without us known on time, lot of investment capital got lost in this. After that, I was robbed at gun point by those who disguised as bitcoin trainees, and my wallet was empty and sold in my present( both my money and that of those invested with me gone). These people threatened hell, and I has no other choice but to pay them off with capital invested in other side hustle. All these happened within the space of 10 months ( 2020- early 2021).

Do not pity me because I am very fine now, though I do alot of farm consultation now and advise broilers farmers on the way to avoid loses. Broilers, processing or farm business generally is most risky business you can think of, and one must be very careful when investing to avoid story that touch. My empire would've still Be very much intact because I've learnt for long not to put all my eggs in one basket, but that attack on my bitcoin was what further broke it down.

Big farms like Zartech, farm support, Amo and Tuns are not left out in which I know of. There was a time the loses were just too much for Tuns to bear, they have to forcefully deducts money from their workers salaries. The same scenario happened at Amo farm. Even the small processing plants like Opadex, Green pasture and some others at Oluyole industrial estate has got their fingers burnt so many times and lose alot of millions.

All said, broilers processing business is still the best if you don't encounter any big problem that will destroy the channel.

FreshFarmAgro:
I am growing rapidly across the entire supply chain my dear brother Yemi

I am working with my financial strength and might. I.e, my daily income can conveniently feed the quantity of birds i raise at any time for one week stretch. But there's nothing wrong about being ambitious and having expansion plans

Btw, I keep misplacing the phone number of this man that gets farm workers you've shared twice with me. I've been embarrassed about calling you again to ask for it yet again. I secured some cotonou workers through another guy from this forum December last year because he helped me in securing lands at Apete.

Would you believe all three workers I got from him absconded without providing service?


I am going to run maize cultivation like mad come April next year, please I want to get four boys from him. I need his contact again please? Can I reach you privately ?

That is quite impressive then. Good you are growing rapidly in your business, may God continue to bless you sir.

As for the yearly workers, I don't use them anymore( even before I lost my business empire), they are too wise these days, they can do anything to abscond with their master's resources. They cost me alot of damages which resulted into serious loses and debts, the ones I got for someone at Moniya side previous year, non of them remain at the place now, they almost beat the farm manager if not for the intervention of Amotekun perosnnels. So i will advise you to thread carefully when you want to get them again.

You can private chat for the man's number.

Why not work with what you have and grow at your own pace?

Numbers is not always determine your profit in broilers production but your ability to sell the few at good and reasonable price. The only investors I think you need with 300 birds is someone who can provide processing facilities for you to be able to sell to final consumers as frozen food.

Angelfrost:
Morocco isn't joking around...!

It's not enough to hit an African milestone of world cup semifinals, why not finish third while at it... Get 2 impossible records!

Morocco's records will likely take a Century for another African nation to match!

Nothing is impossible, with good grade A coach, the current super Eagle team can do it.

Ogbuefi2020:
You all have said these things countless times, you people said these about Obi too. These two guys are not yorubas who are so psychological weak that the fear failure like mad, making them support any nonesense as long it will put them on the winning side

Never in your life quote me with tribalism nonsense talk you guys are engage on Nairaland. More reason I rarely talk about politics on Nairaland because I know many of you kidds know next to nothing about it.

This is absolutely beautiful, nothing last forever.

Realistically, only few humans are smart, the rest are just ignorant or dumb. The few smarts take life as it is, they realise human only need food, shelter and sex, and they enjoy peace of mind and good health. These particular set of humans are many in advance Western countries.

We are all ignorantly working all our lives for other thinking we are accumulating wealth for future. Your houses, cars, money in accounts are all for others the moment you say goodbye to this wicked world.

I don't blame anyone accumulating wealth because, in this part of the world where there is no single social program for the children and the ages, one need to plan his future very well. This is the secrete of advance countries that dumb Africans fail to realise. Every citizen irrespective of his/her social or financial status must have access to abundance quality food. Children and ages much be well take care of.

It is a simple logic, why would I steal money or accumulate wealth when I know that government will take care of me at old age. Why would I accumulate money for my children when I know government will take care of them till they start working on their own?

DearDealz:
We have seen him commission nnpp offices with massive crowds.

We have Seen him at peace accord
We have Seen him attend presidential debates
He hardly misses any organised event to showcase his manifestos

...But we are yet to see him organize rallies!

Is it lack of funds ?

What happened?

That is smart calculated move by him. With the present political structure and arrangements, he know he can't win, so why waste your scarce resources on fruitless mission. He will eventually work with one of Atiku or Tinubu before election day.

rbjimoh:
Let's know your identity, if you have heart. You shall die a miserable death.

But why are you fighting for God? Is God not omnipotent enough to fight and protect you?

Besides, why are you fighting for middle East God that was brought and enforced on you?

I didn't say they are not real( both Islam and Christianity as I am a Christian myself), but it quite absurd and brainless to be defending God we claims omnipotent and omnipresent.

Can't someone stop these people from this barbarism. How can you be in a secular country like Nigeria and still be operating sharia law and even have a gut to carry out capital punishment.

Can't this man approach normal court in the country and get a deserved judgment. This is highly unfair and negate the principle of rule of law.

gare:
So what about me that studied Igbo Education, can I apply too.

I think local languages teachers still have hope of getting jobs in Uk than normal non- science subjects teachers.

occfx:
E be like we go put head that way... Will the visa and flight tickets be free?

Free for where, you will still spend through your noses like others. The only difference is guarantee job and stay.

I am 100% sure they only want science base teachers. Subjects like physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology and literature are very difficult to see quality teachers to teach in our public schools, and now that the door is open in UK, it will seriously affect our educational sector.

Argentina has to double their efforts to beat this resilience French team. Argentina will be reduce to nothing if they can nullify Messi movement and ability to start counter from the midfield.

Croatia were very solid and looks promising until that first goal. Argentina is likely to score more goals on counter should Croatia come out fully in the second half.

Lure you as a robot or what?

You better desist from smoking to avoid future health hazard.

Zonefree:
You looseguard. You introduced the buyer to the seller means they have no use for you again.

You're obviously not business inclined.

Exactly, he didnt know how to do business especially with an average Nigerian. He should have added his #500 to 32k and collect it at point of payment. That is how commissions are obtained and not on empty promise after deal.

Nigerians don't keep to agreement, know this and have peace.

Crystil:
Quite a lot of things will be effected but if it will help stop vote buying then I'm fully in support

It won't, like the article has clearly stated, the big politicians will always have their ways. Some are too big that they don't need your regular banks for huge withdrawal again.

Roboclopp:
And this is not the “you have family and friends”

I feel really empty and struggling with intense anxiety.

I can’t find a reason to fight this and continue because everything feels pointless.

Why are you alive?

Every single moment has a purpose in life. In the journey of life, there is time for joy, sorrow, disappointment, misfortunes and happiness. Everyone, irrespective of social status will pass through these, so this could be the time of your sorrow and misfortunes . It shall surely pass away to pave way for another journey.

Stop thinking about tomorrow that have never come, work hard for today and re-strategize. Tomorrow will take it natural cause as a result of your effort today. Pray for luck to come your path as well, and if possible, you can relocated to start afresh.

It shall be well with your soul.
