So all along... even your subconscious knows it's you and your family, not Uhuru, you and your family. I then really wonder why you have us all here engaged in futile, cyclic, irrelevant arguments of back and forth.

No one who succeeds in life would even dare reason like you have because that kind or reasoning and trail of thought is definitely setting you, your family and loved ones up for utter pitiful failure!

In August I will be travelling to .Ke to specifically vote Uhuruto OUT, since this is now a very personal family matter to me. If my sis is in trouble, so am I.

Eh? Eh? Eh?


So?

FYI I've been busy dealing with the snow.....

100K business with a return of 10K every month.

Let me work with a smaller figure just in case small siz did not have savings.

Agri-business

Crop: Cucumber
Maturity: 60-75 days
Planting to last harvest: 5 months

Lease land: 15K 1/4 Acre in Lower Kabete/Thogoto/Gikambura/Waithaka etc
Seeds: 550/= Griffaton Sachet
Labour: 3000/= (Zero if you can dig, plant, water, etc for yourself. After all you are jobless)

Other inputs: 3,000/=

Total cost: 21,550/=.

Working figure: 30,000/=


Seeds planted: 350 seeds. The extra in the packet are for replanting tose that don't germinate.

Harvest per plant: 20-30Kg

working with 300 plants, not 350 seeds.

300x20kg= 6,000 KGs of cucumber over a period of 5 months (planting to last harvest).

Selling price: 30-100/= per KG.

6000X30 = 180,000/=

180,000 less 30,000= 150,000/=

150,000/5 MONTHS= 30,000 PER MONTH.

I have worked with lower figures. A well managed cucumber crop give at least 25KG. Average price is 50/=. Current farm-gate price is 60-80/= per kg.
(Ngara Fig-tree market price is 100/= per kg.)

With a quarter acre, you can first do 1/16 acre. Two weeks after germination do the next 1/16 and so forth. You will have something to take to the market for over seven months. Low and high prices will ''find you kwa soko''.

That is just one tried and tested example.

With this kind of a mind, you can never blame anyone for your failures. Only if this so called retrenched sister of the OP was here to see this. It would set the pace to success in life like for example go into consultancy for an organization such as the UN. I have run into many consultants there.... nkt!! having a brain and failing to utilize it is an insult to oneself.

I have a feeling @Hardwood was doing this post to test waters. To try get a narrative to help his people counter the NASA case of unemployment. I could be right.

I also think so. Good thing is whichever narrative he chooses, his camp loses.

@CoolBull
Guess what? I had tried the cucumber, egg plant and courgette (Kojetti) on an 1/8th plot and I only harvested 1 courgette/kojett n it was yellow n looked like it had skin disease. So sasa ujue u are -30k in your capital na all the while unakula na unakunywa. Haya plan B ndo nini?
