LESSONS FROM A GOAT
A friend told me "The animal I love and probably will continue to love is the goat"
Goat?! I couldn't even begin to imagine what likeness someone would ever have for such a stubborn creature.
I was about to voice out my opinion when she surprised me with her next comment.
"The goat is the only animal you will chase away and it will yet come back. No matter how hard you try, it will always try to return"
Then, I stopped to think.
I looked at the goat from the angle of DETERMINATION and not STUBBORNESS.
Determination is the only factor that will continually make you rise to your feet no matter how many times you fall and no matter how hard the fall.
This was my first major lesson from the goat.
Be determined.
Be courageous.
No matter what life throws at you, do not be dismayed.
Even if you fall, take a deep breath and rise on your feet.
You can do it, yes you can.
GO FOR IT
My next lesson, don't judge people from your first perspective of them.
I have always looked at the goat from its stubborn nature.
I have never for once,thought of its determination.
First looks might be deceptive,
But I tell you, it is not instructive, neither is it conclusive.
Instead of judging that lady by her dressing,
Why don't you move close to her and know her better?
You never can tell, she might need your help.
That guy looks so irresponsible,
But have you ever thought of him as someone who needs a friend to talk to.
Help someone in need,
For a friend in NEED is a friend INDEED.

You are different
Hellooo....feels so nice to write something again. Well,my blog will basically serve two purposes. While I give you updates about agriculture, I will occasionally drop some words of encouragement about you,you and yes,you.
So,let me drop these few lines just for you. Enjoy...
YOU ARE DIFFERENT
She's running,running at top speed and you are like "Oh,I just want to catch up with her", you will fall.
"Oh my God,this guy is just too good. He does everything so perfectly. How I wish I am just like him",you will fail.
Girl,relax,calm down and take things easy. You are not slow,you are just in time.
Guy,be careful,don't imitate,you are just on point.
You cannot continue to compare yourself with others and expect to excel.
When you compare yourself with others, you only bring out the faults in yourself and you condemn yourself the more.
But when you work on your God given talent and run at your God given speed, you achieve purpose.
See,if you continue to strive to be like everybody, you will end up becoming a nobody.
Why must you go on the same lane everyone is treading? It's already worn out, create your own path,try something new.
Don't follow the multitude, follow your heart.
When you do what they've been doing, you'll only get what they've been getting.
Then,how do you expect to create a difference?; how do you intend to change the world?
The difference is not in the world;
The difference is in you.
Be the difference;
Be the change you wish to see.
Tell it to yourself,
I am different, created differently;
To do things differently.
I stand out for I am a difference.
Yes,you are a difference;
A masterpiece of God's creation;
Fearfully created with an intention,
Wonderfully made to go on a mission.
Look,you don't struggle for attention.
What you need is the vision.
Then,work towards it with determination.
And with God, you become the attention.
So,let me drop these few lines just for you. Enjoy...

Agriculture and You
HELICICULTURE
The rearing of snail is known as Heliciculture. Snail rearing is a business opportunity which is sometimes overlooked because most people feel it can never be a source of income or wealth. Snail farming in Nigeria requires small capital compared to other animal husbandry line poultry,fishery etc.
Snail farming is an an just gaining its recognition in animal science and research has shown that there are a lot of nutritional benefits deprived from snail meat. Snail meat has a protein content of about 16-18% and has a low fat content and low cholesterol level which makes snail meat a good antidote for vascular diseases such as cardiac arrest, hypertension and stroke.
It would interest you to know that every part of snail has its own unique functions. While snail meat is edible and nutritious, the snail shell can be used for traditional medicine, ornament or beads and for local tools. Snail eggs are consumed by most people and the snail slime can be used for traditional medicine, treatment of burns and for cosmetics.
Snail rearing, as it is, does not involve some much technicality, just the necessary basic things which includes: attention, care, feeding, housing and good management.
Feeding your snail is really not costly. This is because snail feeds on fruits, sweet potatoes, cassava tubers, soya beans, maize chaff, palm kernel cake, fish meal, tomatoes, cocoyam, pawpaw fruits, cucumber and even household wastes such as: solid paper, bread, cooked rice, eba, etc.
Snails require a well ventilated and spacious housing. The housing must also be constructed such that it is able to protect the snail against predators and insect infestation. You can prevent ants or insects by digging some trenches around the underneath or foundation of the fence and pour some engine oil on it. This will help in preventing the gathering of ants or insects.
Good management is essential for snail farming. Just because snails do not fall sick as much or that they are easy to manage dies not mean you should not take care of your snails. Know when to provide food to your snails. Feed your snails regularly morning and night with drinking water. It is important to note that snails Williams not eat if the elevator is too dry, therefore always try to make the environment conducive by wetting and covering the floor with dry crop residues such as banana, plantain or cocoa leaves for the purpose of retaining soil moisture and providing natural environment for the snails.
Do not give treated or chlorinated water to snails, rather provide fresh, clean untreated water. Always try to frequently clean the feed and water dishes.
In conclusion, you have learnt that snail farming in Nigeria has a lot of advantage which ranges from low cost to easy management and profitability. I would like you to know that the secret of making millions in any business is to master your game, dream big, try to differentiate yourself from competitors and work smart.
