God does not choose a wife for Moses, Abraham, Isaac and all those influential men in the bible, why will God come and choose a wife for you? God can only guide us in making a decision. He told us that we should NOT marry outside the household of God, meaning that we should marry anyone within the household of God.

You really inspired me. Thanks very much.

For a 10 by 10 standard concrete pond:
168 blocks 150 = #25,200
Sand: half trip 1/2 tipper=#8000
Gravel: 7 wheel barrows = #20,000
Cement: 8 bags of cement = #16,000
Workmanship: 1 bricklayer and helper for three days: = #20,000
.........
#89,200

But if you are buliding more than one pond the prize will definately reduce by 15%.. And pices of raw material differ from state to state.. Thanks

The 10 by 10 size, is it in meters or what?

Adeymorla: How many litres is your pond capacity. IDeally you are supposed to have one fish per 4 litres of water since you don't use an aerator. To get better growth with catfish, u definately need one. Ihave been using mine for 2 yrs now and last year I made 70% return on my investment. If ure intrested I can show you how.

Stocking fish is not base on volume, it is base on surface area.

I spent the 2 million overtime in the space of TWO AND HALF YEARS.... My first stock was 5000 fingerlings which I bought for 20 naira each.. And feeding them with about 700,000 naira,I still have the records.. At harvest I only sold about 300,000 there by making a lose of roughly 400,000, if u minus feeding and the purchase of the fingerlings..Of which I did not even add salary, fuel,drugs etc..

I harvested 5 times within the two and half years.. Of which I consequently lost money all through..roughly With my calculations its even more than the 2million naira...

I know I could learn it in lagos but like I said earlier on most of the farm I visited where not even sure of what they where really doing..they only told me what I know already... I had to source for a training outside because I wanted a different training to what others are doing.. I thank God I took the right step to learn from songhai..
Thanks

How much does it cost you to learn outside?

Is it possible to use earthen pond instead of concrete pond?

robonski15: Like I said earlier on I sold the remaining 9000 fingerlings which I sold for 7 naira each and made 63000 naira hereby stocked the best 4000 (shooters) and I started raising them for the next 5 months..

Before I stocked the pond I disinfected it with "BLAGDON ANTI FUNGAI AND BACTERIA" by doing this u have clared the pond against any fungai or bacteris present in the pond.. Sometimes u may stock and after a while they start dieing due to an outburst of disease present in the pond, so I advice all farmers to disinfect there pond using the afor-mentioned drugs..

After two weeks of stocking I started to sort them into sizes Big, medium and small.. My brother sorting is one essential activity u MUST do to save ur investment.. If u don't sort only less than half of your fish will grow well and be ready for sale when most should be ready.. This is because its only the big and aggresive ones that will be eating most of the time and they are usually less than half of the entire stock you have in the pond.. But when u sort regularly most of the fishes will be of regular size and they can compete with themselves for food.. So they can all grow at the same pace.. PLEASE DONT TAKE SORTING LIKELY..

Sequel to these I stocked my pond with a thousand fish into four ponds ie I had four pond and stocked them with a thousand fish in one pond to make up for the four pond (4000)..

One other thing that makes us loose money is overstocking of your pond.. Your fishes will not grow.. Because the water gets polluted easily and this will cause the dissolved oxygen to be depleted in the water.. And when this takes place the fishes wount eat well their appetite for food will be lost.. So I guess a farmer should measure his pond well before stocking..

What is the size of your pond. I want to know the stocking density you're using. God bless you for all these, may your business continue to prosper.

robonski15: Fish farming like other business has its prons and cons.. And truthfully its a very lucrative and yet a money draining business..

I have read articles about how lucrative the business is and how to invest and reap millions.. All I do is just to laugh on reading such article.. All they want is just for u to buy their manual and make money.. Surprisingly most of them don't have a farm of their own, they are computer farmers who don't have any experience whatsoever in the business..

I know of farms within my area who have shut down their farms due to frequent loss over the years.. I was also considering shutting down myself after I lost close to 2 million naira, yeah u heard me TWO MILLION NAIRA, but after diligent study which took about a year I decided to give it my last shot..

To be continued..

Computer farmers, I like that statement.

That's a nice little biz you have there. I am seriously eyeing it.

You will need a UK address to receive your check before it is sent to Nigeria.Open a domiciliary account in any of the bank to cash your money.

Is it only a UK address you'll need? Also, can you show us a proof that you have made money online.

There is a lot involve in making money online. I advise any body that wants to start to sit down and choose his topic carefully. Some topics will not make you money.

No land for sale in the SE?

Wonderful. Thanks it was corrected.

confluence: my broilers doing fine

They're panting. This means that the temperature is high. Be careful because once grown, temperature is the main cause of broilers's death.
