This is commendable

Some of us have potentials we'd never delevop, voices the world would never hear, virtues the world would never see, stories we would never tell, heights we'd attain, opportunities we'd never explore. We have so much in us but we hold back in fear, believing we ain't worth anything or people wouldn't listen to us

What do you have that can bless the world? What story can you share with others to get them blessed?

I have realised that our journeys on earth is so different. While something seems to happen "earlier" for somebody. It might happen "later" for another person

This is life, because we all have different paths, we all can't flee from the country, we all can't remain stagnant in our father's land, we are all going on different directions and we all have different destines and purposes.

This is the reason why we should try everything within our power to quit comparing or measuring another person's clock with ours. Do not let society and family pressure tell you that your time is running fast. Never let anyone, who doesn't hold their own time in their hands tell you that your flourishing years is running fast. Nobody holds their time in their hands. Only God does

Agriculture had always been a gold mine. It's a job most youths find it somewhat difficult to engage in. Even the government had longed abandoned it for crude oil. I have little farm at the back of my compound. I planted ugwu, plantain and corn. Myself and neighbours had been consuming the little products from it. Even while in school, i utilized the very piece of land at the back of my hostel to farm. This is something i had passion for. It's in me

I'd love going into farming. Preferably at Ogun state. The state is blessed with vast arable land, good soil structure though with bad road network compare to Lagos state. I'd prefer going into cassava, ugwu and maize. There is no issue of farmers-herdsmen clash in some parts of the state like Ewekoro, Ipoka, Egbado and many more. These are places with abundance lands for farming. The fulanis are not as evil and wicked as people and the internet described them to be.

My major obstacle is Capital. Lease of land (I'm good to go with 1 acre or 2 for a start), getting farm inputs and equipments, hiring supporting hands, miscellaneous expenses et al

I can even decides to process my cassava before selling. These are essential commodities needed on a daily basis. There are markets for sales. This is a very profitable business I'd love to venture into. Even poultry farming isn't bad either

If corporate job isn't fortcoming. We should be able to think outside the box to explore ideas that are creative, unusual and that are not limited or controlled by rules or tradition to solve.

I gave up the idea of farming, when I and my mother clear our land, dug the mould, planted yams, staked the yam, weeded the yams and someone else harvested it for us and nothing happened...

Agriculture can earn nigeria bigger money than oil industry more than ten times.
It can provides tens of millions of jobs to our unemployed people.
But there is no sensible government to make it happen.
