Month 2: Zero Follower And Zero View On Tiktok. Who Cares ? We Nairalanding !


We're On GEAR 5.


We're Nairalanding The Zero Wastage Of Cassava In The World (ZWOCITW) Now!




Some Of You On Here Have A Clue Of How I; The Crypto-Forex Messianic Paparazzi Of African Agriculture (TCFMPOAA) Started Out Here In Cross River State With My Research Journey Into The World Of Cassava - All The Way From "THE YEAR 2020 ENDSARS PROTEST" Which Was RALLIED AND NOISED Up In Lagos State - Western Part Of Nigeria.



Originally, Before Visiting The EndSars Protest As An Independent Agricultural Journalist, I Had Already Moved To IGEDE-Ekiti - The Hometown Of My Earthly FATHER - My Creator!


At That Time; I Was With Three (3) Of My Messianic Disciples (MD) Who Moved On The Mission Of EXACTLY And WHATEVER Life Holds For Us. However, Upon Any Direction Which The "Tomorrow Of Our Yesterdays" Held For Us - We Understood That We Needed To Be KEYED Into AGRICULTURE.

... Not Any Luxury Type Or Kind Or Niche Of Agriculture!

We Were Keyed Into "GRASSROOT AGRICULTURE" Simply Because We Understood That The GRAND Solutions To The Development Of Agriculture In Nigeria And Any Country Of The World MUST START From THE GRASSROOT!

.... And We Never Stood To Be Corrected!


Our Parents Would Persuade Us, Advise Us, Beg Us, Pray To God For Us To Quit Our SEEM-TO-THEM FRUITLESS SOJOURNS OF AGRICULTURE As We Moved Across States To States In Nigeria - (Sometimes) Trying To Close FRUITLESS AGRICULTURAL DEALS That We Ignited Online.


Those Days Were DARK.


Pocket-Wisely, Most Days We're DARK For Us Because Even When We Ran Out Of Cash, We Kept Moving Ahead With GREAT OPTIMISM Through The Financial Wilderness Whose Path We Chose To Follow Through.




But Just Like The Way Magic Happens, On One Days Of One Of The Months Of Pisces ♓, We Hit Our First JACKPOT On A Local-International Deal Of Setting Up A 1 Hectare Of Ugwu Farm In The Village Of OWO, Ondo State.

Our Jackpot Was 2,000,000 Naira With Housing And Offices Equipped With Powerful Solar Generation Systems.



I Still Remember The Night Before The 2 Million Naira Deal Just Like Yesterday.


I Was With "CJ FILMS" - One Of Messianic Disciple Yet Messianic Mentor In Cinematography.


We Had Garri.

No Soup.

No Gas.


But With The Last Hope Of "Just Follow Up On Your Already Submitted Agricultural Proposal", I Did Some Followup With My Neurosurgeon Financier Who Owns A Neuro-Surgery Hospital In Canada. He Is Also Based In Canada.


It Was My Last Followup Message To Him On WhatsApp As We've Been Going Back And Forth On Whether He Should Consider Me To Work On His Newly Establishing 56 Hectares Of Land.


A Back And Forth That Has Been Happening Over Chat For Over 3 Months.



I Submitted As Many Farm Sensitization Documents That Became Relevant To This Financier That One Part Of His Mind Wanted Him To Give Me The 1 Hectare Ugwu Farm Setup Contract.

But, Just You Guessed Right: You Know "My So-Called Village People" - They Kept Tweaking The Mind Of This My Nigerian-Canadian Financier To Quit His Dealings With Me !


That Very Evening Of "Just Garri, No Soup, No Gas" In The House; He Seemed To Be The Only Hope Worth Hoping For As A Better Tomorrow Uprising!

So, Even If We Slept Hungry Or With Just Garri In Our Belle; Atleast - We Had Great Hope For Our FIRST BIG AGRICULTURAL CONTRACT Which We Strongly Believed Was FORTHCOMING.



Omo....


While Thinking Of Our Next Immediate Action For The Night, Before We Could Say "PIM"; The Instant Message That I Received From This Potential Financier Was BLUNT AND FINAL According To Him.

It Was An "Eye Sore And Mind Intimidation".

In Context, He Wrote:

"Thank You For Everything You've Done For Me With All The Agricultural Advice And All, But After Much Consideration, I Won't Be Needing Your Services."





Omo, After Reading This Message; With The SAPA In My Stomach And Realising How Long This SAPA Would Continue If I Don't Get To Secure The Deal;

Omo - Instead Of Begging This Man To Reconsider My Proposal And Deal; My Mind Was Strongly Raised To IT'S RAGE.


I No Know When I Enter "GEAR 5" To Start Condemning The Selfish And Time Wasting Approach Of This Nigerian-Canadian BILLIONAIRE.


I Didn't Even Care If He Was A Billionaire.


With FACTS, FIGURES And FIERCENESS - I Told Him "HOHA" Straight Up That If He Really Claimed To Be A Philanthropist, He Would Consider A Young Graduate Who's Been Following Up With An Agricultural Proposal With Him For Over 3 Months.

Giving Me The Opportunity To Set Up 1 Hectare Of Ugwu On Your New 53 Hectares Of Farm Will Not Hurt You.

I Wasn't Asking You For An Urgent 2K Or Begging You For Lazy Money - I Told Him.


I Told Him Straight To His Face That What Was The Point Of Paying University Scholarships For Students Who Are Natives Of OWO When They Would Finally Graduate From The University To Remain Unemployed.


"HOHA" - I Told Him That He Is Just Another Philanthropist Who Is A Mere Catalyst To "Education Recycling Poverty" On Scholarships In The Guise Of Philanthropy.





I Ended The Chat With Him Letting Him Know That His Recent Scholarships To A Few Students Which Was Aired By The Traditional Media In Ondo State LAME And An EMPTY SHOW OF SOCIAL-SOCIETAL THEATRICS If He Would Chose Not To Honour A 3 Months Agricultural Proposal Which He Had Already Agreed With Me To Approve As I Continued To Sensitize Him Almost On A Daily Basis.




For Some Minutes, He Was Mute.


His Following Message To Me Read:

"Okay, I've Approved The 2 Million Naira Contract. Can You Travel Down To Ondo State Tomorrow To Go Sign The Contract With My Lawyer ? How Much Would You Need To Take You Forth And Back From Ondo State To Lagos State ?


My Response:

Yes. I Can Travel Tomorrow. 20,000 Naira Will Do.





Then He Wrote Again:

"Send Me Your Account Number" .





I Did. Or Didn't I ?



Anyways; The REST Of The Story Became The Sweet History Of That Very Year 2020!










Moral Of This Story:


"Worries Are Wasteful Thinking. They Lead No Where But Worsen Your Situations. So Deliberately Choose To Stop Worrying When You're Faced With Worrisome Situations.

Instead Of Worry Your Mind And Cause Yourself More Harm, Rewire Your Mind To Not WORRY.


Get MIND To Face Your Situations Of Life "HOHA"!





"HOHA" - You Need To Be Fearless And Understand When To IGNITE Your "GEAR 5" To Paralyse The Unscrupulous Pitfall Of Your So-Called Village People (Your Worries)!





"HOHA" - Get MIND.





Sefini.

Talk Am As E Be, No Dey Stammer!


"HOHA", Get MIND, Or Sink.


If I Had Stammered And Accepted The Initial Fate Which Baba Nigerian-Canadian Had Dished To Me Out Of Being Unworthy Or Worrying To Be Less Of Myself;


My NYSC First Bank Account Of That Year No Go Need UPGRADE TO TIER 3.


TIER 1 - Our 19,500 Monthly Stipends Of That Year No Fit Carry 2,000,000 Milla!

Naso We Tear TIER 3 For FIRST BANK That Year!




And "HOHA"; Na Agriculture Still Run Am.



Normally, "Agriculture" Na "Money".
