Egg shell powder is a new goldmine substitute for bone meal and can save you a lot of money.
How do we get egg shells in high quantity in excellent hygiene may be a challenge.
I have tried it in small quantity (steamed, heat dried & smoothly grounded into powder) mixed with feed

This here is a classic & very true. I have seen this & have heard many experiences shared.
Northerners are very accommodating, an average northerner is not a cheat, can trust you wholly because they have d fear of Allah.
Politics have been deepening hate & division unfortunately
A 100kg bag of Maize price has tumbled to N75k on Thursday market day sales!
Tomorrow Sunday is a lesser traffic market day. We hope we see tumbling of prices as new harvests begins to trickle in.

Asked my wife to guess their age; Abdullahi got 42 and Musa 39.
I told her she got it wrong 28 and 25!
She is in shock but she have to calm down! Na so the thing dey be, no be today.
Kindly note:
I don't sell Grains, I only have access to Grain prices from different markets in Kaduna state due to relationships and privilege market surveys.

14 tones per hectares is achievable with d right seed, seed population per stand, farm inputs aside seeds, correct use Fertilizers, pesticides and farm soil testing.
Farmers should also be willing and open to change/modernization.
Above all, genuine Govt support
You want to regulate what I sell my products and you can regulate the my input prices, no be juju be that?
I just bought fuel for N1,150 per Litre now, the Lasota I use to buy for N3500 per a 1000 dose today I just asked and it is N6000. Maize, Soya etc nko? I can go on and on!
This is the best tomatoes my wife could get this evening for N12,000.

We have this Coal in abundance, in Ankpa, Kogi state and Enugu.
We will say we are indeed blessed when you quantify the daily amount of coal being transported by Bua trucks(over 30 trucks daily).

Akwai baban matsala walahi, Allah shi kyauta!
Here in the North we have not had rain 13 days now, this should be a major concern to the nation.
If rain no fall anytime soon wahala go dey oh!
Farmers are also concerned and worried about this phenomenon.
Let's be praying as this also is a serious concern! Let's all calm down!
@patrickanum
Wow! Very indepth, this history is not known by many. Infact I don't know much of your account till now.
The truth is we need d Nigerian history that is not distorted because of sentiment and by any means taught in our schools at all levels.
It may bring healing & d desired Unity
@SOgunwusi
Up north here deep litter (floor raising of laying hens) is very common, mainly because of the short raining seasons.
This type has lots of work sincerely, birds consume more feeds, due to free roaming space and hens are more susceptible to common poultry diseases!
@Radvan_Vedasto
I wouldn't say for certainty birds will start laying at 18 weeks.
I expect you have said all things being equal; weight/breed, management...
I advice most starter or the like to target btw 21 and 22 weeks for their first egg drop, this is even better so you dont get discouraged.
@Radvan_Vedasto
Well.. Hypothetically yes & in mostly few cases, but I would prefer we add it so.
A commercial laying bird wud start laying d first egg probably 20 or 21st wk of age.
They'll feed themselves at about d 23rd to 24th week at 40% & you wud start makin some profit from 25wk on 45-50%
@BashorunGa_
I would say mainly 2 factors: poor farm input especially fertilizers and poor farm mechanization.
Nigeria has gone far beyond challenges with seeds. There are many Hybrids varieties out there that gives fantastic yeilds but demands lot of fertilizers per hectare.
Lobour is crazy!

I prefer pelletized or Crumbled feed.
- it minimizes wasted
- it allows my birds to eat faster especially during the heat period
- it has always given me better result especially overall egg size (all things being equal though)
- Pelletized feed grain has a packed combination

Very laudable. Govt approved selling price is not adhered to by dealers at all! Good quality but annoying quantity. More needs to be done.
Mark my words, before the end of this year TELA Maize would have been in the market, you will eat it & you won't know.
You will keep shouting up & down; "No to GMO Maize" as you dey shout, you dey consume am! After a while you would have become GMO human, living your Simple life!

@Samsoknight234
A Farmer that spends this much on farm inputs & wit high cost of transport can never sell his produce at a cheap price at harvest.
If govt becomes insensitive & constrained to import food next year without any palliative to d farmer they should simply put a knife on his neck!

Bare in mind to change all bulb to energy savers, & minimize use after sundown to have long lasting power all night

This could be true as we have already received notifications of another possible hike in the prices of feed on Monday 11th of August.
