Many succedull people in NIgeria passed through difficuit stage in life. Their parents lifestyle is farming of these they were trained to be educated with farming profession utill they adchieve in life.
In Nigeria today, farming system had gone in extinction of which many graduate regards farming profession as a set back in life. We have seen many students that graduate with BSc. in Agriculture and end of in banking system.
Every body worried about food as a why of life but never want to look back into farming system as a way of food production.Nigeria has estimated population over 200 million with less than 10% professional farmers. Why the scarcity of food? Why are we importing agricultural product that can be easily produce here in a Nigeria fertile lands.
Farmer lifestyle is a natural life ever. Many have tasted roasted maizes in the cities but never experience the
lifestyle in the farm. Aye Oba loko....Jaye loko bi awon ijoye....Have
you tasted any of these before in your lifestyle? Do you experienced any
of these ;lifestyle before you migrate to cities?
Let us have a rethink and start farming as a business, been a public servant or civil servant does not stop you investing on farmers. If every body invest 10% monthly earning into Agriculture on yearly basis, there will be surplus food in the market. Farming as a way of life will result to excess food supply for the Nation
