The tendency of the average Nigerian investor is to set up a business on a foundation beyond his experience because he sees others doing it. He starts a poultry farm as a large investment of capital and stock which will require immense amounts of energy and funds to maintain which may be beyond his capability. Some inexperienced investors have set up, misled by fantastic statistics which make them believe that poultry business is the quickest route to become a millionaire overnight.For example, i saw a thread at nairaland.com where a poultry promoter gave the impression that one can invest N500,000.00 in poultry and reap N5million in a year.This statistics is a deceit, misleading and an IMPOSSIBILITY in the present day Nigeria.Some starters rely on dubious statistics generated by some arm chair consultant.Some are attracted by the earning potentialities but give no thought to the other side of the coin. Nigerians are enthusiastic about poultry farming and many are going into it. This

I once heard that in Africa, Nigeria precisely, any ailment beyond the reach of medicine is often attributed to spiritual causes. sometimes it is not so. Sociopath , often referred to as Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD), is a complex and controversial mental health condition characterized by a persistent pattern of disregard for the rights of others, lack of empathy, and manipulative behavior. Individuals with sociopath, known as sociopaths or psychopaths, may exhibit a range of troubling traits and behaviors that can have profound effects on their own lives and the lives of those around them.

Did you know... INCUBUS: It is a demon that perches on top of sleeping people. In the past, what is known today as "Sleep Paralysis" is attributed to this, which is when you are asleep and you feel that someone is watching you, but you can't even speak or move, you try but you can't; You scream, you cry, but nobody listens to you.

Now that you can find plentiful information just by typing G-O-O-G-L-E into a keyboard, it is no longer acceptable to simply call someone up to pitch your business.
