It is said that a river that forgets its source must surely dry, so as a nation whose initial and advent of her source of revenue (Agriculture) shall pay dearly for it when overdependent on non Agricultural sources aren't functioning.
Agriculture in Nigeria was our major source of income during the pre discovery of oil period but this God's given job was neglected which was characterized by discovery of oil boom in '70s. This mega rich source of income, however, dint only prompt the neglect of Agriculture but also killed the desire of agric enthusiasts as all focus was literarily shifted to oil discovery with its mega income by Nigerian govt not been mindful the effects of oil if dries up or the further income the mega rich Agriculture sector could generate to the nation's pulse.
As oil price globally in few years dropped, and recently rose (a little bit), I think it is advisable for everybody interested in farming for both subsistence and economic benefits to take the bull by the horn as govt isn't ready to give needed attention to that sector which is still being hindered by their belief on oil.
For me, I have ventured into it by starting with plantain as most people in our farm settlement area (Ago Owu/Alaguntan/Alipanu @Osunstate) being surrounded with only specialize in plantain and cocoa.
Check the pics of my farm.

Agriculture will certainly be the panacea of our economic issues when a good number of Nigerians start exporting agro-products to foreign countries and making millions of naira. Click on the first link on my signature for details.
