Why are there no videos on Homesteading in Nigeria to encourage people? Is it that people don't like nature, want organic foods or they just love city life. I have a farm not too far from Epe I'm in the process of adding a residential building to. If you are into it please give tips on how safe it is and what to expect. I won't be moving in there for another 7 years but it's never too early to start making plans.

I got here while searching for information on homesteading, I'm in a similar situation, let's rub mind together.

I think the reason why there isn’t a lot of videos about it here is probably due to lack of awareness and insecurity. When someone goes to the bush here the lack of security provided by the government is non existent so if one should have a farmland here one should provide security for his/her own self, something not a lot of people are comfortable doing. I personally haven’t started homesteading but it’s something I am planning on doing, I also plan on implementing permaculture because not only would it benefit me but the community I would live in and also the environment and to any person who may occupy the land after am gone, but most importantly because permaculture it’s the most resilient and self sustaining farming philosophy/technique.

How about you? Are there any plans you have made for your homestead?.

PS: The most important thing to make homesteading easier and interesting is to have a PURPOSE! ✅🙏
