Nigeria's future millionaires and billionaires will make their money from agriculture. This assertion was made recently by the country's Agriculture Minister, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina while speaking at the first convocation ceremony of the Land Mark University held on the school's main campus in Omu-Aran, Kwara State. Adesina posited that the bulk of these nouveau riche class will be made up of young persons adept at creating jobs for millions and bringing hope to rural communities all across the country.

However, the minister said for this to happen, young persons must begin to find ways to key into the ongoing transformation in the agricultural sector. "Nigeria faces a rapidly ageing farming population” he stated, while placing the average age of the Nigerian farmer at 60 years. The minister further enjoined young people to stop seeing agriculture as a tool for development but as a business. "Presently, Nigeria is said to be losing N1.2 trillion every year to poorly developed and inefficient agricultural sector. These inefficiencies could be eliminated if we have young people who will get into the sector and change the face of how things are done".

Did you know that snails are the most
prolific livestock animal producing
morethan 150 eggs at a time in one clutch?
It’s also the livestock that requires less
stress in breeding them. You can buy a
baby snail for less than N30 and make more
than N200 as profit on such snail when it
reaches table size.
The prolific aspect is that you can decide to
breed 4 snails and before a year runs out
you will have more than a thousand snails
in your snail farm. Though their is a kind of
spechie that produce this amount of eggs
at a time twice in a year. It is called Achtina
achatina, capable of producing 300 eggs in
a clutch.
If you can produce at least 30, 000 snails
