Mr Emeka, you are making me to cry right now. You gave me all necessary assistance when I first venture into cucumber farming as a novice. You give out information to everyone as if you are our blood brother or relation. Here you are again, giving me great hope. With the few things you have shared on nairaland since November 2018 till now, I have made some cash as a corps member(nysc). Now that I am through with nysc, I want to go into farming business. I just wish every politician is like you. This country would have be one of the best places in the world.
May the good God that see everything continue to bless.

Big Amen!

Idemu joseph you seem to look familiar,

oh my God bro its you!
But why did you not tell me you were on nairaland?

I just know its you!

Indeed keeping a low profile is key.
Your trust on me is one of a kind.
Even though we are not even related at all!

as for the cucumber biz.
You could have called me to come help you in the marketing aspect,

the thing about inter state farming is this!

In any state you visit as a farmer try and know what sells best there.

In yoruba land water leaf are been regarded as grass or weeds,

but in calabar water leaf is a pure gold there!

In igbo land they dont seem to eat much of okro but they like ugu leaf!

But in lagos okro sells well,

so also you are to find out what sells well in the north incase you move up there!

Its just a basic thing for you to know what vegetable that sells well in a particular state or place.

But am sure cucumber will sell in any place!

But bro when will you come back to lagos again.

Our long journey to ogun state last year was indeed hectic.

Dont really know if you still have the number of that land agent man that showed us around.

I seem to like him!
He is straight forward but his prizes for lands are just too cost!

This place in lagos i have now is good but not really big enough for expansion!

All thanks to you am now in business,

but you know real farming starts from acres of farmlands!

I will make sure not to fail you mr joseph,

Cheers!
