Currently statistics show that the agricultural sector accounts for monumental economic growth in most countries, but with the emerging trend in the IT World and Telecomms by extension, which sector would you vote more lucrative?

I have this conversation with bobos back in naija all the time. I will say that IT in general is more lucrative in the short-term. Long-term however is another story. At the end of the day, nigerians must to chop eba for example. how much for one cup now? We think that working a blue-collar job is beneath us and as such leave them in favor of white-collar jobs, regardless of pay. Lines like "Ol' boy, I be banka o" are very common to hear when I visit. Forget that the "banka" is what we call in the states a teller - someone who dispenses money to customers LOL.

bottomline, as a human, we can go without phones, without the internet, without buying new clothes or moving to a new house. However, we cannot go without food. Think of it this way - if Agric weren't lucrative, what are all those white guys who left Zimbabwe doing in kwara?

My 2 cents as always

Agriculture is better.

Telecom
This sector is much cheaper to enter, think about it most of your asset is based on traffic, so all you need is equipment to capture that traffic and then license to protect you legally some fancy adverts and you are good to go.

Agriculture
In agriculture first and foremost you do not make money on the first day, it takes time. Now during that time you could easily lose everything based on pests or weather e.t.c Not the mention the crippling amount of money needed to move a stone in this sector.

Finally in a recession- economy we will continue to eat but make less calls. So agriculture is a much safer investment when you exclude natural problems. Hey i feel a lot of naija folks should be farming, especially all those ladies selling vouchers what a waist of quality labour.
