I will say, you are welcome here.

If you are here to say things like; what a waste of time, energy or resources, could you please click any link close to your mouse pointer?

But if you like to strive and do something new that could impact your life and those around you. Then you are welcome. I'm not selling anything, not claiming to be an expert or even trying to convince you to go into farming. All I'm here for, is to find people with same drive as my self in order to maintain that drive and also give us the room to see things differently, which means to learn off each other and broaden our horizon.

You will have to forgive my English, it's always been my weakest link right from day one in the KINDERGARTEN (even though I didn't have the chance to attend that, LOL).

Remember? I didn't introduce my self, right?

I'm Abiodun by name, A jobless man in the face of most Nigerians but a freelancer in the face internet AGE-GRADE. Why? Because once you don't work for the government or a boss, most Nigerians will believe you are jobless.

I'm a transcriptionist, a graphic artist and a FARMER(something I'm just diving into).

MY STORY IS GETTING TOO LONG, I'M SORRY. BUT I WILL TELL SOME MORE.

I have been in love with farming or let say, AGRICULTURE in general since my secondary school days, but as there is not much I can do then or put straight I didn't really have enough motivation to overcome the challenges and dive in. I had to look at poultries and farms in awe. But still then, I managed to set up my rabbit cage and also took in some chickens, I dived into quail keeping also but stopped midway as there wasn't much market for it. During this time, I plant 10-20 pods of maize in the compound as a kid.

But my first real FARM practice was during my service year, after all the coaching and long talks by the NYSC officials coupling with my realization that I'm not a MINISTER'S, GOVERNOR'S NOT EVEN A COUNCILOR'S son. I realized there is no job waiting for me after my service year. A reason why I have to find my ways. Three things I did was,

1- To list things I love which can bring me some coins.
2- To check those I'm able to do well.
3- Then, It all came down to FREELANCING and FARMING.

Because being under a boss wouldn't have allowed me the freedom I need to farm the way I want and right from onset, I always believe I will be a success as a freelancer.

A reason why I put aside some of my ALAWE, and acquire some space around my PPA and that place now is called, Oko Copa (Copa's farm). I still have my cassava there right now.

Getting back to my state, I didn't stop. Now I have my little farm where my MAIZE, G/CORN AND PEANUT seem to be enjoying themselves.

A small farm for now because of the financial constraint, something I planned to expand the following season, provided I'm still alive. Something I pray God will made possible.
I will come here with PICTURES.

I'm not a millionaire, not even a rich thousand holder. But I'm doing what I love and I'm happy.

There are people who love AGRICULTURE but can't summon the courage to banish that DON'T-DO-IT spirit.

I'm not an expert, in fact I'm just diving into agriculture. But I am here to motivate you, if you are yet to do something, please do. If you are doing something already, I can learn from you, you can learn from me. A REASON WHY I CREATE THIS THREAD.

I WILL PREPARE PICTURES OF MY FARMS. HOPEFULLY, THAT WILL MOTIVATE YOU TO DO SOMETHING.


I THINK THIS IS GETTING TOO LONG, LET ME CUT IT HERE TO HELP MY NEXT POST.

Op ride on .

Op ride on. It takes great courage to venture into agriculture. Agriculture is by far the most frustrating enterprise. Once u decide to venture into it , get ready to be frustrated by climate change ,pests ,diseases , humans(theft) e.t.c

Op I envy and salute your courage

I really admire your courage and I know without any doubt that you will succeed in this venture, ride on boss of life,Q..

God bless the works of your hands bro.
I love the Entrepreneurship spirit so much.
Nothing as fulfilling as it.
God bless our hustles....

Talking about procrastination, let me share this to share to everyone also, hoping one or two people learn something here......

[b]PROCRASTINATION IS THE THIEF OF TIME

I have lived in this area for 6 years. I eat Akara a lot but no one fries it here. I was forced to learn how to fry it so I can eat it to my fill.
I learnt it. So for the past one year or less, I have been eating my own fried Akara. I can do it well.
Sometimes in December last year, one Igbo man started frying Akara here. My first taste of that Akara sent sweetness down my throat. I stopped frying mine and started buying from him. I have never fried Akara till date because of this man.
Last weekend, I went to buy Akara in his shop. I met him instead of his boy (he doesn't stay. I guess he has another business he runs). So I asked of the guy. He told me the guy is now in another branch he opened the day before. �
I didn't understand. I said "kedu otuo" (how do you mean).
He said he has opened another branch (he mentioned the name of the street) and is looking for someone to start staying in the one close to me whereas the boy I was asking of have moved to the new branch. He wants the boy there because of his good sales skill.
I went away feeling so ashamed of myself.
Why did I not start the Akara business and leave it in the hands of competent people to do for me?
I just recovered from the shame this night and decided to let my Facebook family know.
To you who has the desire to do something. Pick up yourself and start it today. Tomorrow might be too late.

We Nigerians like finding faults with everything.

Nice one from you bro... Seems like minds would meet here. I have just started my small poultry here also, and i hope to go into crop production next season limited by cash this season. It's nice in the midst here.

You have problem with comprehension bro. You can have a PhD and yet never attended a Kindergarten. You vex me I swear.

It's a great step and investment when herdsmen don't invade your farm.

agriculture is the best, but it requires patient and persistence to make millions out of it. and if you really want to make it big you need to plant crop that can last while harvesting, e.g plantain, palm tree e.tc and complement it with fisheries, poultry, piggery e.t.c.
