Think the impossible. Get outside the box. Free your mind.

baba11: thanks.. I read your piece with rapt attention and I can deduce from it that although, the writer is right but if we consider Nigeria clime, he is wrong.!For any successful farmer,he must get support most especially from the government.If we really want to achieve this,commercial or large scale farming must be practised. What about the availability of land,fertiliser subsidy,interest free loan.Storage mechanism is also not on ground.Do you expect me to harvest a large hectares of land and sell everything @ once.That's not possible,I'll run at a loss.....
hia this govt. Stop dreaming bub. In this country we're on our own.save and Start small and then scale up. If you have money for large scale farming you have money for tractors(instea of buying second or 3rd or 4th car)fertiliser(the output is worth the investment),storage(instead of building houses you can build silos and barns),while land can be gotten from rural communities.(obas,obis,sarkis) (you go school na,try think outside the box,more n one way to skin a cat.become a master of the game of thriving in nigeria despite all odds .cheers

you only need to develop your interest into passion. Learn all you can and take a step towards having your own farm.

I saw him on cnn future finance yesterday saying this on power point presentation
“So you can see we have a huge crisis facing us; either the price of food is going to go much, much higher and draw in capital and labor and management, or we’re not going to have any food at any price. I assure you it’s not going to happen that way. What will happen is agriculture will becoming exciting and profitable, young people will see farmers driving Lamborghinis, they’ll see stock brokers driving taxis, and they’ll say ‘Aha, I’m going into agriculture.’ So, you will have more production come into agriculture and more people will make money and the cycle will start all over again.” on CNN

Word! So true. Agriculture has always fascinated me since I was a kid. I studied Geography at Unilag, and I started out Masters in Agric Geography 4 years after graduation, but finances and some other problems didn't allow me finish the program. Now, I finally started my first poultry farm last month, and I can say I have never been happier.


I intend to go into the other areas of Agric, and the prospects excite me every single day.
