Smart chic. If only safety and power wasn't an issue we would have had a stampede of foreign investors scrambling for involvement in our land of milk and honey. My business plan is guarded. I'll be there...when the time is right for me lol |

Etinosajay:Dont we have Nigerian rich enough to acquire these lands?.... That is exactly what I'm talking about, Nigeria isnt made up of only poor unemployed graduates who cant organise lands for farming. Besides acquiring the land, there's also an option of hiring a massive expanse of land at a much cheaper rate. 1 Like |

obailala: And you think farming ends with acquiring land? Like I answered some persons before, there are thousands of Nigerians (young n elderly) graduate and non graduate engaging in commercial farming per size desired. (crop production, pig farming, fish farming, fruit farming, etc) You won't hear of them, because it's not news. Only when a white lady entrepreneur does it, that's when it's news because the papers, tabloids and blogs want to make money. You eat fruits too, don't you? Who farms those? Aren't they Nigerians? Most people here clapping and scolding and labelling Nigerians as lazy, don't know so much. They just want to be what the next successful person is, every minute. |

Welcomme: Which constitution or culture is compelling you to study for Masters? Isn't it your choice to make? Aren't there people working with only BSc in Nigeria? I don't know what your point is. Even this oyibo profile that is inspiring you to drop out of school, she studied MBA at Harvard. Isn't that a masters degree? You can't be different people every new day. I hope you didn't consider selling bread, when you heard olajumoke's story. |

landinfo: We need orientation in Nigeria, how much is the cost of an acre of land ? An acre of land even on Nairaland cost between 50k to 70k, Ikire,Ogbomosho, Iwo etc. if you move to some inner villages, you can get it cheap. |

Pamelayoung:There is absolutely no hypocrisy about this. Oh yes Nigeria has farmers doing this but we need thousands, if not millions of more people doing this. And yes, this is definitely news worthy because the person involved is a Harvard product, a non-Nigerian and a white woman; this is glaringly a different case so I see no reason why you regard this reportage as hypocrisy. Regarding the ability of Nigerians buying large hectares, are you trying to suggest that we have absolutely no Nigerians who can buy large hectares? ... why is it that whenever the topic of 'Nigerians not involved in farming' is discussed, some people only begin to see it as an advise to poor unemployed graduates? Besides the plethora of rich people in Nigeria who can equally afford these lands, the fact is that land for farming doesnt even necessarily need to be bought. |

Bollinger:This doesnt change or invalidate my earlier post. I see no reason why more Nigerians, including state and LGs, private enterprises, our multitude of rich men buying luxury cars and planes and yachts etc cant go into farming. When I say more people should go into farming, I'm not automatically referring to only poor people. |

quickly: What about the Africans that own property in Europe and America. Are Africans really cursed to the point where they will not want progress, this is a form of foreign investment, She has even floated her company, this will bring jobs for the locals. When the white man comes to Africa they create jobs when the African goes to Europe they take Jobs . 1 Like |

mikolo80:My point is simple, are there not at least over 10,000 Nigerians with far more than that amount sitting in their bank accounts?... What about the big private businesses, state governments, private corporations, LGs, past and present political leaders etc, are we saying all Nigerians are poor an we can't get people who can raise a mere $300k to replicate what the woman is doing and thereby create more jobs for other Nigerians (who cant afford to raise that amount)? |

obailala:rich nigerians are already rich. they do not need the investment. they do not want the investment. poor nigerians need it. they do not want it. nobody wants to farm. rich people do not need to help poor people they do not want to help poor ppl so there you have it we are a complacent ,content and lazy ppl comfortable in our local shampionism until we need to make money,(need not want) we will continue misbehaving but don't worry we are almost there we will soon start investing as little as 3000 naira in any and everything at least the next 1% will anyway BTW why you no do am if e easy |

Etinosajay:Nope, I am not clapping but I am scolding. Yes we have lots of Nigerians doing what the lady is doing but we can do much better. We need millions more doing the same thing for Nigeria to break away from the shackles of poverty and 3rd world status. Now you ask why it is news because a white lady is doing it?... Answer is simple, it is news because it a white lady doing it. If we have a white man today in Benin as a commercial okada man, it will definitely be news too; that is not to say we do not have over 10 million Nigerian okada men. By the way, with your first sentence, are you by any means justifying why many more Nigerians aren't or shouldn't go into farming? |
