I harvested this Plantain bunch from the back of my house yesterday. It has exactly 40 big fingers on it. It's about the 15th that I've harvested this year. With things like this, I wonder why Nigeria has to import food. Our land is fertile and can feed us and provide forex via export if only we can farm it. What do you think?

And how is this others business



Goodness!!what exactly is your aim of putting this up in this first place self

Ok,
now what do uu intend to do wit it

To encourage those of you wasting your time in the cities searching for the ever elusive jobs to return to your villages to till the land. Our economic revival depends largely on agriculture. Hope you now understand why I put this here. That single bunch can provide a healthy breakfast for a family of 4 for 10 solid days!. Now this comes from the little space at the back of my house. can you imagine how much more can be realised from cultivating an acre or hectare of land? Use your brain, my dear.

Learn from it. Nigeria can become great if we return to the land and stop depending on oil.

well said...my younger ones (3 in numbers ) all studies in foreigner university with agric money...I see no reason why our youth will continue seeking for white kola job

Wheres ur location?

Initially I did not want to read this thread as i usually read threads on commercial farming but on second thought av read this and it says nothing but the simple life saving truth to us that live in the tropics and the natural blessings we have.
Why do our youths sit around and wait to be employed rather than creating employment for ourselves, @jollyjoy, this thread shows that even with a few plants of plantain, OP is able to visibly establish the fact that no matter how small your agricultural venture is that you can sustain yourself and the economy. OP has harvested 15 bunches in a year, how many have you harvested.
1 bunch of that plantain will go for nothing less than 1500naira in the market, so OP will be making not less than 20,000naira randomly by selling the products if thats an option.
So please the aim of this thread is to show that nothing is too small, step by step anyone can be a millionaire if only they are focused and intelligent enough to make use of what is around them to achieve success.

How can you ask such a question? For me this is the best post for today. Let's learn to produce before consumption.
