Last year when we came here and learnt we're coming to do livestock farming and crop production, they thought we were mad, maybe we are truly and the next set of occurrences proves they are right.

Had problems constructing road to the site while we ran into some very serious problems with a cocoa farmer on the road whose cocoa had so grown with the hand obstructing the road.

Had problems with our neighbors who had economic important trees around our boundary, watch us cut it while they took us to their meeting (coven).

And finally when it became difficult going back and forth everyday just to clear the site and we talk to them for accommodation, one of them came to chase us in the middle of the night just because we belong to the other faith and not permitted to be in their prayer house. Imagine how it feels chasing a stranger who has got no place to place him head after a thorough farm work during the day. What pained me most was that I tried all best to answer all his question with a cool friendly tone like a sane person despite knowing where he's heading to and when he landed, I still appeal if we could pass the night but he insisted.

For every tree we cut that we could have log into pieces and sold to bakery guys were taken away. Some very long poles that could have been useful for electric poles were stolen and that's when I knew placing all these their palm fronds on item does not work, it's a big fraud.

Then what about the issue of theft when the structure was roofed and ofcourse the about recent issue of farm poisoning, right on our own land, does it even make sense?

Everything done to us in other to frustrate us and chase us here were overcame by his Name and once in a while I blush like this like a MAD man truly just to justify their thought but only a sane person who has imagine the experience highlighted above will understand the strength of determination behind those teeth.

But the truth is, all these stages are expected, some played on my head before it happens, some I see in trace during prayer, some in dream and it only stirs me up and build my faith so I was always wanting to go several miles everyday from home like someone who is going to a paid job.

For one, most of them beleive that you are just one other guy with loads of money who doesn't know what to do with it and rather venture into farming as it looks "fun" to you. They want to show you that they are the masters of it, been doing it for a long while without anything tangible to show for it and your eventual loss should make you a pauper who has learnt his lesson. At least that was my experience.
First year harvest of yam despite all the smirks and scoffs and targeted effort was bountiful. Second year?? It was a disaster and sone people made sure of it

It's their nature in the rural areas to behave like that because they can easily get away with it, if you leave that land unattended for five years, you would likely end up in a land dispute by the time you come back. Farm theft is easy and untraceable so they do it.

Farm theft is a big problem. They can even come at NIGHT when it is raining. So my plan is to buy German shepherd dogs and keep in the farm.

You're very right sir and you've got the best plan as we are planning here too.

Exactly what they're trying to achieve here but they've failed.
