stagger: A lot of people send me such messages daily (even today) and I usually have one reply for all of them: KNOWLEDGE COSTS MONEY TO ACQUIRE.
You can get information in two ways.
a) You can PAY MONEY to someone to provide you with the information or knowledge you seek. b) You can INVEST MONEY into your own mission by spending time on the internet to search for the answers you seek.
Both routes cost money. Personally, I have since stopped providing information because it was grossly abused when I first did it (and for FREE too).
So I usually ask people to invest in their own mission by spending time and money in their own mission. I know someone who went from a complete novice (read a social science course in university) to becoming a programmer within one year of YouTube tutorials, spending minimum of 50GB data monthly on downloaded video tutorials. Last I heard, he rakes in close to $5,000 a month.
So it is a choice of being spoonfed, or you actively buy scrap metal, spend time and effort to carve out your own spoon and feed yourself. I chose to carve my own spoon and today, I am neither moved by minimum wage or recession or any of Nigeria's economic problems.
A little piece of information may not hurt. But thanks all the same.

stagger: This is why I am a personal advocate of freelance work, which I got into in 2009 and I have had absolutely no regrets. OP should think about this seriously. Get a new skill, quit that job and use your new skill to eat. What is 59K in today's Nigeria for a family man? Your kids are growing: even university education in our deadbeat universities is becoming more expensive as schools are now pushing fees into the hundreds of thousands (my first year fees was N110; shows how far we have come).
You cannot work on 59k forever. My advice to you is as follows:
a) Tomatoes are a volatile crop, and 1 hectare of land is small. Your first foray should be to test the waters, so you still need to keep your 59k job for now.
b) Hit YouTube and pick up a new IT-based skill. Give yourself 3-6 months to learn it. Then take your new skills to the global market, by which time you need to give yourself an extra 2 months to exit your 59K job, by which time you shoul easily have started making at least $300 - $500 a month. EASILY! So if you start now, you should be quitting that job by June next year.
c) Hone your farm skills and take your new found money to expand your land base.
This is my advice.
Please which IT-baseed skills (and their YouTube links) do you recommend?
And please how can one make $300 - $500 a month easily with these skills?

EISDigital: There is a lot of talk about mini-importation and drop shipping and how one can make lots of money from it. The truth is people are making tons of money from mini-importation and drop-shipping.
The greatest challenge in making profit from mini-importation and drop-shipping is the LACK of INFORMATION. You need the Right Information to GUIDE you on the following:
1. How to source for products to sell and which websites to source from - Here you need to know How and ways of sourcing HOT SELLING products, How to buy these products from the BEST websites, and how to get the products shipped to you or your end buyer as it applies to either mini-importation or drop-shipping. 2. How to Market to the people who will buy your product - Here you need to know how to use Digital Marketing tools to market your product. Tools such as Facebook, Instagram, Email Marketing, Bulk SMS Marketing, etc. Note: You can also pay Advert agents to do this for you at the initial stage. It saves you from wasting a Lot of money on Ads that won't generate sales 3. How to ship your products to your end buyers and how to get paid.
People who've made it in this business INVESTED a lot in acquiring these informations. Application of the knowledge gained from the information is what turns profit for the successful ones.
