Recently, I have been thinking about traveling to abroad for a better and non chaotic experience of life, an environment that sane and calmer than what we experience in Nigeria.

It would also give me chances of exploring my wide engineering interests. At the same time, I would like to live comfortably abroad.

I have been thinking of establishing a farm in the Zaria part of kaduna where they don’t have insecurity issues. My idea is to legally partner with someone who lives there and has interest. I will bring all the funds, he will manage the farm, and he takes percentage from proceeds.

I also have thoughts of doing it in the southwestern region, somewhere very close to town but the land will be more expensive and I don’t know if I can find someone that I will do a partnership with, that won’t mismanage it.

But people with more experience are in the north. But if I establish here in southwest, I will need to be actively involved for some time so I can give lessons.

What do you guys think? The money can’t do anything abroad, so better to put it here.

Don't do any farm establishment in the North. The Zaria part of Kaduna that is peaceful now may be in Chaos tomorrow as insecurity in the north is spreading faster. Instead, Go to south south, Akwa Ibom or Cross River. Plant Economic trees, Cocoa or Ogbono. Leave the maintenance for locals. Travel, follow up via WhatsApp calls. Few years you will be glad you did.

Most of the cocoa plantations I’ve seen are often have infections beyond repair, it makes me scared of cocoa. I don’t know anything about obgbono, how long does it take to mature and what is the fruiting cycle like?
Big question is still on management, as I don’t know how the people in these areas you mention are. Before they will harvest and run. lol

We have not even scratched the surface when it comes to farming in Nigeria. Let me just pause here.

Rockyfancino:
I’m not sure I understand what you mean in relation to the topic
