LAGOS and AGRICULTURE

I have been getting feedbacks about my presentation made last week.

Also featured in 2 different Radio stations in 2 states afterwards.

To confirm it, I have been invited again.

If you are in Lagos, set your reminder.
Tomorrow, I will be live on

JORDAN 105.5 FM, Lagos.
By 10 - 11AM.

Peace 🕊️ and Love 🤍

Happy Easter Celebration.

I was asked a question on a Lagos Radio Station yesterday:

"Why is it that must graduates of Agriculture hardly go into agribusiness?"

I will love to get your thoughts.
I am putting up a book on this.

Is it because of the: capital, interest, passion, something they know others don't know, fear, or others?

Thanks for your contribution.

WHY NIGERIA MIGHT EXPERIENCE SCARCITY OF FOOD NEXT YEAR.

It's on the News that most Farm lands across different states in Nigeria have been submerged by flood.
Especially, one of the largest Rice farms in Africa. Olam International Rice Farm is seated on a 13,500 hectares of land.

This is one of the worst Natural disaster that has affected the country in the past decades.

Unfortunately, this is not completely an unforseen circumstances but a penalty for negligence.
10 years ago July 2012, the flood invaded our farm lands and destroyed lives and properties. There was a prediction of a possible reoccurrence which is what we are seeing now.

We call on the government to not just give relief materials but to find a lasting solution to this disaster.

Also, an alternative source of stable food should be looked into avoid famine added to our already struggling economy.

Currently, Farms worth hundreds of millions are been destroyed by flood in Nigeria.

Livestock and Crop. 😭😭😭😭

FIFTEEN THOUSAND BIRDS GONE?

I saw this photo yesterday; a flooded farm. In the poster's comment section, he stated that they lost about 15,000 matured birds and this reminded me of a similar situation that happened to one of my Lecturer's farm. In shock and confusion, he ended the class and he told me that he got a call that his farm was flooded.

HOW NOT TO BE A VICTIM
Before purchase a land, check the history of the land. Not just what you can see at the moment.
Some people buy their land or rent a pen during the dry/summer season. When it gets to raining/winter, they start noticing flood or other environmental disasters/pollution.
Some areas experience flooding once in several years. Some, once in about 10 to 20 years and even more. My Lecturer was a victim of this kind of flooding.

Getting the history of an area before purchasing a land or building is mandatory.

Ask questions from those who know the land; not just the owners of the land/pen, please. Some people are not sincere. They just want to sell out their problems.

Do your soil test.

Finally, note, flooding is not the only disaster that destroy's a farm. Ask questions about everything.

IN THE LAST 10 YEARS...

Day Old Chicks (Broilers) have moved from N10O+/chick to about N800+

Broiler Chicken Feeds have moved from N3000+ to N9000+

What are you doing differently to remain profitable in Poultry farming seeing many Poultry farms are folding up?

Your advice might save a farm or more. 🙏

Thinking of venturing into the Agric Space?
Think beyond farming.

I will be highlighting areas you can venture in.

One of the best areas to focus on as young agriculturists is content creation!

YouTube, blogs... etc

All farmers are Agriculturists but not all Agriculturists are farmers.

Farming secret...

Farming requires huge financial capital, that's the reason the space is mostly dominated by wealthy men/women that are advanced in age.

As young farmers that lack the fund to build agribusiness, I will expose how you can still find a space in this space that is predominantly occupied by older wealthy individuals.

Key secret...
Go in with knowledge. The rich investors are too busy to learn management.

Master an aspect of Agriculture that they can't do without your services and expertise.

Now that you are a bit free, read, research, volunteer, work for others and thank me later.

Be unique, create your niche, be indispensable.
Know your WORTH so they don't PLAY you around.

If you don't have what to offer, you may have to surfer.

SPEND TIME PLAYING WITH YOUR ANIMALS

People always wonder how I easily noticed sick animals before they show obvious clinical signs. This goes beyond just professionalism.

Just like children, I spend quality time playing with them so I easily noticed my friends when they act differently then I quickly search for remedies.

HOW TO RAISE DOMESTIC VIOLENT CHICKS

Train up a child in the way he/she should go...
This principle can also be applied to your animals.

I have been exposed to different animals (cattles, goats, sheep, dogs, pigs, snails, fishes, rabbits, grass cutters, and poultry). One common act in them is their ability to learn, unlearn and relearn.

Are you aware that your animal has the tendency of understanding any kind of language?

Are you aware that most of our cattles in Nigeria understand Fulani language very well?
I once worked with a Fulani herdsman that speaks to the cattles as though they are humans.
If he tells them not to move, the only solution to make them move is to kill them first.
Although, people said it's juju but I asked him and he told me, "it's training."

Watch the video attached to this post and you can see the little chicks trying to attack me because I am training them to be aggressive and violent.
I have also trained chickens that were so fund of human beings. They will always rush to relax on my body.

Some people ignorantly train dogs meant for security as pets. Vice versa.

Note, how you train your animals will determine how they respond to humans as well as the other animals.

MAXIMIZING POULTRY BUSINESS.

Agriculture doesn't have a waste product, you only don't know how to utilize them.

Using the livestock for reference.

Matured chicken= Meat
Dropping = manure
Feathers = feather meal(feed Production)
Blood = blood meal (feed Production)
Bone = Bone meal (feed Production)
Feed bags = income generation.
Horn and hoof = raw materials (manufacturing)
Offals (intestines etc) = food and meat meal (feed Production)

Now you know what to do with your waste livestock products.

GRAFTING AND BUDDING GONE WRONG

I saw this tree in a Mango plantation some where in Nigeria.

Now, here are my observations.
✓ The tree has 2 different main branches.
✓ The green circled part is the original branch of the tree while the white circled part is the grafted part.
✓ The original branch is darker in color while the grafted part is lighter.
✓The original branch is currently having a bountiful fruiting season while the grafted part is not fruiting at all.

What went wrong?
Amongst the many things that might have gone wrong, my concern is, the person who did the grafting might not had paid attention to the pedigree or history of the grafted part.
It's possible that the original tree is a better fruiting tree and has earlier maturity duration than the grafted part.

Moral:
Don't do a thing because others are doing it. Do it because you understand what you are to do.

JUMBO BROILERS

Recently, I formulated a Poultry ration (feed) which was tested along side the best feeds in Nigeria and mine got the best result despite being far cheaper in price.

Recently, I have reared thousands of birds and all my Productions have been less than 1% mortality.

Recently, I had 3.4KG Broiler bird at 6 weeks without any booster.

Prior to now, I learnt.

I learnt from a professor emeritus how to formulate extra ordinary feeds. He is one of the best Monogastric Animal Nutritionist in Africa.

I learnt how to raise big birds at an early maturity age from an SSCE holder.

I learnt how to raise birds with less than 1% mortality from a man who never saw the four walls of a school. Doesn't know how to read nor write.

I'm a Graduate Animal Scientist with over 10 years of practical experience yet I learn from everyone.

If you want to be the best, you must learn from the best irrespective of the fact that they have what you have or not.

The success or failure of your birds will be largely dependent on how prepared you are before receiving your Day Old Chicks.

Set all that needs to be set including their drinking water.

Go to the delivery point early enough to pick up your chicks and quickly introduce them into the brooding pen that is already heated.

A stitch in time saves nine.

DIRTY PIPE KILLS BIRDS

Having noticed death and also discovered the problem through Post mortem, I decided to treat the birds in the farm yet, there was no response.

Later, I made more research and noticed that the water wasn't clean. We used a pressure pump to flush the pipes only to see these.
