I agree with you to a point, you don't go into a business without the knowledge, like your case, u can make hair, u have an idea about the business already all you need to do is expand and monetize it.

farming isn't as easy as projected please do not be deceived it's not about getting a land and hiring laborers, u need to know when to weed, what type of cassava you're planting, the type or soil you're planting on, when to harvest etc

nothing is easy hence we learn everyday
it's expensive to get labourers when you don't know anything about farming, they will milk you. you must learn to cut loses. e. g. one who has oil palm plantation spends a lot just to cut it down for you, farming is another thing all together, it is either you pay double or you cook for them. I don't know about others but my village pple don tear eye finish.

Op, you shouldn't have made this about the ladies to avoid unnecessary insults on ur gender.
A lot of us graduates are still hung up on the ultimate white-collar dream that we are painfully unaware of our environment.
Apart from 'em hard skills, we are so severally deficient in leadership, PR and marketing skills.
Any successful entrepreneur must marry both hard & soft skill.
I like how you described your sewing experience, that's what keeps us going during downtimes, more ink to ya pen or elbow as the case may be.

@Bella, I could go into all the aforementioned without using my hands. All I'll need is capital and labour.
Anybody can!
Who is going to fund your idea is the million dollar question.
Unless you from a wealthy home, ur only option is to either get a job or slug it out on the streets.

The aim to be productive. I don't need to learn a skill to be in a particular field of labour. Your case of Cassava farming for example, since you've got a land, simply hire a labourer who's into farming, get them plant for you, and after six-months, you could do the harvesting, peeling, washing and sun drying yourself. Days later you could hire another set of labourers to fry for you. Depending on the quantity.

I make hair very well and if I should open a standard saloon tomorrow, I'd still employ the professionals in hair making, and may be doing less in the saloon.
harvest cassava in 6monrhs?. Even if it's hybrid stems it's not possible.

What do you call a million dollar idea?. Lol, to learn a skill you need money to do so and to start up a business you also need money to do that. What I stated isn't a even a million naira idea.

@OP

Not until people like you understand that skill can be either mental or manual, would I begin to take anyone of you serious.

What everyone, not just women, need is to have an understanding of something valuable (i.e. skill) and commercialize same for the betterment of self and others. . . When you commercially better the lives of others through that which you understand, what you will gain in return is money.

I bet you, someone that's intelligent but has indignation for manual work can never make any headway should she go ahead to acquire skill in such line of act and vice versa.

You didn't get me, it's a known fact that getting funding for new businesses from financial institutions or govt is very difficult except you have family willing to back you.
I simply asked how you intend to secure the much needed funding for your new business/idea.
