Happy Independence NIGERIA!!!

 
   

AgroGold wishes to congratulate Nigeria on her independence on its 55th year of existence. below are the complete text of Mr President's speech:

     

      "October 1st is a day for joy and celebrations for us Nigerians, whatever the circumstances we find ourselves in because it is the day, 55 years ago; we liberated ourselves from the shackles of colonialism and began our long march to nationhood and to greatness.

      No temporary problems or passing challenges should stop us from honouring this day. Let us remind ourselves of the gifts God has given us. Our Creator has bequeathed to us Numbers – Nigeria is the ninth most populated country on the planet. We have in addition arable land; water; forests; oil and gas; coastline; and solid minerals

“We have all the attributes of a great nation. We are not there yet because the one commodity we have been unable to exploit to the fullest is unity of purpose. This would have enabled us to achieve not only more orderly political evolution and integration but also continuity and economic progress.

“Countries far less endowed have made greater economic progress by greater coherence and unity of purpose.

“Nonetheless, that we have remained together is an achievement we should all appreciate and try to consolidate. We have witnessed this year a change in our democratic development.

“The fact that an opposition party replaced an entrenched government in a free and fair election is indicative of the deeper roots of our democratic system. Whatever one’s views are, Nigerians must thank former President Jonathan for not digging-in in the face of defeat and thereby saving the country untold consequences.

“As I said in my inaugural speech, I bear no ill will against anyone on past events. Nobody should fear anything from me. We are not after anyone. People should only fear the consequences of their actions. I hereby invite everyone, whatever his or her political view to join me in working for the nation.

“My countrymen and women, every new government inherits problems. Ours was no different. But what Nigerians want are solutions, quick solutions not a recitation of problems inherited.

“Accordingly, after consultations with the Vice President, senior party leaders and other senior stakeholders, I quickly got down to work on the immediate, medium-term and long-term problems which we must solve if we are to maintain the confidence which Nigerians so generously bestowed on us in the March elections and since then.

“As you know, I toured the neighbouring countries, marshalled a coalition of armed forces of the five nations to confront and defeat Boko Haram. I met also the G-7 leaders and other friendly presidents in an effort to build an international coalition against Boko Haram.

“Our gallant armed forces under new leadership have taken the battle to the insurgents, and severely weakened their logistical and infrastructural capabilities. Boko Haram are being scattered and are on the run.

“That they are resorting to shameless attacks on soft targets such as I.D.P. camps is indicative of their cowardice and desperation. I have instructed security and local authorities to tighten vigilance in vulnerable places.

On power, government officials have held a series of long sessions over several weeks about the best way to improve the nation’s power supply in the safest and most cost-effective way.

“In the meantime, improvement in the power supply is moderately encouraging. By the same token, supply of petrol and kerosene to the public has improved throughout the country. All the early signs are that within months the whole country would begin to feel a change for the better.

“Preliminary steps have been taken to sanitize NNPC and improve its operations so that the inefficiency and corruption could be reduced to a minimum.

“Those of our refineries which can be serviced and brought back into partial production would be enabled to resume operations so that the whole sordid business of exporting crude and importing finished products in dubious transactions could be stopped.

“In addition to NNPC, I have ordered a complete audit of our other revenue generating agencies mainly CBN, FIRS, Customs, NCC, for better service delivery to the nation. Prudent house-keeping is needed now more than ever in view of the sharp decline in world market oil prices. It is a challenge we have to face squarely. But what counts is not so much what accrues but how we manage our resources.

“We have seen in the last few years how huge resources were mismanaged, squandered and wasted. The new APC government is embarking on a clean up, introducing prudence and probity in public financing.

“At an early stage, the federal government addressed the issue of salary arrears in many states, a situation capable of degenerating into social unrest. The APC government stepped in to provide short-term support to the debtor states and enabled them to pay off the backlog and restore the livelihood of millions of Nigerians.

“Fellow Nigerians, there have been a lot of anxiety and impatience over the apparent delay in announcement of ministers. There is no cause to be anxious. Our government set out to do things methodically and properly. We received the handing over notes from the outgoing government only four days before taking over. Consequently, the Joda Transition Committee submitted its Report on the reorganization of Federal Government structure after studying the hand over notes. It would have been haphazard to announce ministers when the government had not finalized the number of ministries to optimally carry the burden of governance.

“Anyway, the wait is over. The first set of names for ministerial nominees for confirmation has been sent to the senate. Subsequent lists will be forwarded in due course. Impatience is not a virtue. Order is more vital than speed. Careful and deliberate decisions after consultations get far better results. And better results for our country is what the APC government for CHANGE is all about.
“I would like to end my address this morning on our agenda for CHANGE. Change does not just happen. You and I and all of us must appreciate that we all have our part to play if we want to bring change about. We must change our lawless habits, our attitude to public office and public trust. We must change our unruly behaviour in schools, hospitals, market places, motor parks, on the roads, in homes and offices. To bring about change, we must change ourselves by being law-abiding citizens.
“Happy Independence Celebrations. Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

Poultry Farming In Nigeria

   Hello Great Nigerians!!

         Please try to go through this little research on poultry farming it might rely be of help especially to the Newbies in the Poultry farming business.

    We humans have really grown poultry for almost as long as they have been involved in Agiculture.  This particular business of poultry farming had rely been existing for long which implies that millions of Nigerians have indeed taken good advantage of it and so many are still looking forward to venture into it. A school of thought also reveals that poultry was part of the Human diet. Please name any family or community where poultry farming is not encouraged if not for anything then it will be for the over demanding factors surrounding this same poultry farm animals. they are very much needed in every sector and most especially if you must look for an alternative to your everyday beef consumption and so on.  

   However alot of people have restricted the idea of poultry farming to only cock and hen thing but it goes alittle deeper than that. Poultry farming actually includes the following sub divisions which icludes Turkeys, Quails, Ostrich, Ducks, Geese, Guinea fowl and Pea fowls. All these are simply the various sectors of poultry farming which do exist.

Ducks

Turkeys

  

  From all the above stated poultry animals the one which the largest remains the "Growing of Chickens.

     Generally Chicken Production is divided into two major categories which are;

1. Broiler Production

2. Egg Production

   The two divisions stated above was what majority who practice chicken production really do specialize on when it comes to poultry livestock. The production of chicken generally is what alot of families today do consider as alternative to the High Cost of Cow meats especially when it is being needed in large quantity. Chickens are generally raized for both meats and eggs.

  The female chicken is kept and preserved to lay eggs while the male chicken are butchered for meat abundance.

  Broilers are chicken that are produced for meat. they are ready available for meat consumption anywhere anytime they can always be acquired. They are marketed at about 8 weeks of age and shockingly broilers can growned to the point that its heavier than half the feed in half the time.

                            STEPS IN PRODUCTION OF BROILERS

1. Hatching of chicks (Eggs must be hatched in large commercial hatcheries and eggs must also be fertile. It means that hens have to be bred by roasters or they are artificially inseminated. Mean while in commercial hatcheries, Eggs are incubated in two separate rooms called the "settings room" and "the hatching room"

     

    The eggs are placed in the setting room incubator and closely monitored for temperature and humidity.

2. The Eggs are turned everyday to ensure that a high percentage of the eggs hatch after the chicks are hatched, they are cleaned and dried. they are then placed in a room environment.

3. When they are about a day old, they are vaccinated and debeaked.

     I hope all this really goes a long way if you need further clarifications or if possible proper training on poultry farming then contact AgroGold Connect.....

   God Bless Nigeria
