my fellow soaring eagle, I will advice you to know that it's very possible for you to have both goals achieved simultaneously. all of us knows that farming pays these days but you have really gone too far to quit.
everything in this life is possible if you carefully plan them. I know that schooling without much support especially in FUNAI is not funny but I will advice you to make arrangements on how to do the business in partnership with others even if you you get little return at the end of each harvest
I will even like to see you when we resume ,we can search for land nearby and reach some agreements ,you can pay after farming (with God it is possible)
but I will advice you to meet your relatives and your mum to be doing the business, maybe you will be visiting monthly,you just need to teach them everything they need to know about the business. after all life is all about sacrifice, that certificate might fetch you a job tomorrow that will buy a million hectares of land tomorrow . God bless you @your fellow "soaring eagle"

Really, nice to hear
Have already sent a mail

Is better for you to focus your attention on your education first at the moment. Is good as you discovered planB that can fetch you money, after your education, you can focus on it or during your holidays when you travel home. Try to document everything you know so far in text, images and video so you will not forget when you come back to it. You will have enough time to practice your farming after your graduation, but opportunity may never come your way again to get admission or academic certificates you have long suffered for .

Take your mind off from that farming for now or till school holidays if you don't want to be affected academically. Engineering needs full concentration to obtain good GP, it is a deceit of the mind for you to drop your education near end to farming planB. What of if other challenges come up in farming and therefore unable to achieve your target goals, then, regret and depression will come in. You can look into other areas that are combinable with academic to make extra income for you education.

You can go into tutorial by teaching younger classes to raise money, look for buying and selling things for your classmates and other schools, technical writing/project or source for expert at commission. And if your mother or someone you trust can help you manage the farm better, you can keep giving them instruction from school by sending video/images of farm activities, but never allow it to get into your head to avoid graduating with poor grades.

Dropping out of school for now is never a solution, endure till the end with good grade before going back to your planB

Wow, you are full of ideas, thanks for your suggestions

Jackossky:
Why not teach your younger one or someone you trust? He manages the business for you while you are away though he/ she will take a big chunk, however, when you are done with school, you can focus on it big time.


Look at it this way, you got this idea in school, wonder how many ideas are still hidden in school? You have a quantum source to tap knowledge from, don't lose it over small wins.

Thanks man

Emarvel:
Have you forgotten so soon that you got the same information through school?
Imagine if you weren't in class that day, will you be thinking of that aspect of farming?
If schooling wasn't important, then our politicians and big biz men around, would have asked their children not never to enter any institution.
School gives you an edge above your peers.
What an illiterate can do, when a literate do it, he does it BETTER

You made valid points, thanks

Nickshrapnel:
Go to the school admission office and tell them you want to take a break from your studies because of unavailability of funds. Focus on your project for that year, if it yields bountiful results, ask for more time from your school or relocate your farm to an area closer to school, if it does not, go back to school

Thank you so much for this advice, I sincerely appreciate

Hambivert:
It seems you have sparogatively made up your mind on what you want already.

Anyway, if you do consider school as something tangible, defer your admission and come back for completion when you've gained your ground in the business

Thanks dear

Abcruz:
I suggest you shouldn't quit school. Find a way to run the farm to support your schooling, by partnering with someone who will help in overseeing the affairs of the farm while you're away.

Forget what they say about school being scam you will need that certificate some day when the opportunity arises.

Thanks,. Nice one

Tribers:
I won't advice you to quit school but let's be sincere good mindset and focus also boost business if you are committed with your farming school doesn't cut it , you can make the money and go back to school , me for example I make up to 60k - 80k plus monthly I don't sleep at night and it's affect my reading but I don't have choice been sincere with you because if i don't work I won't pay for my school and my grades are dropping but I rather focus on my online business than quitting it for education in this country (so think and pray and let's your free mind guide you) you know the answer to your question you don't need advice you need to trust your gut and challenge your self if you are going to be a farmer set a target I want to make 100k in the next 2 month and make sure you achieve something close or higher and if you want to continue your school make it count also

Thanks dude

sinkhole:
Please OP, consider this advice.
I have actually been thinking so hard but it was just so difficult until I read the quoted advice.
Others did advice well, so far, but I think this is the best advice I could agree with.

Best of Luck

Nice advice there, thanks

Complete it bro, because you were paid well to do better than this

Saig:
Think about working during the holidays and possibly employing someone to do some for you while you are in school. you have limited time left in school. Manage like that for now. once you're done with school you can go fully into it if you like. You will still stand a better chance if anything that warrants the use of your certificate arrives

Thanks dear

Saig:
You are already far in your academics. What I can tell you is go on with your academics and still take that farming as side hustle which can even help you in school. I know of some people that were doing bricklaying work while schooling and today they are still better in for it. That won't stop you from schooling. Remember even your lecturer has not quitted his job for farming , he is doing it together. so why quit yours?

Thanks, I also think that same direction, but the problem is land availablity in Ikwo funai
The lecturer is living in abakaliliki and can access the school & farm so fast because he got a car

delinous:
I see u coming out successful from this farming if u truly put your whole heart and mind to it. By the time your mates are graduating and are done with NYSC, you should be making millions of naira if u work hard farming and saving. Think hard about it cos i won't give u a final verdict. But I l will tell you that the farming option will lessen the burden for both u and your Mom.
Wish u success in whatever future decision u make.

Thanks dear,
I appreciate

This life no balance, are you sure you are not one of them?

For a friend


Hello nairalanders
I need freethinkers on this forum to help make the best decision on what do do and the right steps to take, by reading in-between lines of my few points below.

Am a student of AE-Funai, and 21 years of age (I think this introduction is enough)
Here comes the points
Around January 2018, during one of my ENT 301(entrepreneurship) classes,I was able to pick a vital point, when the lecturer way pointing out the importance of Agriculture and the told us how he normally grow cucumber & watermelon, and he made alot of money from it.
I was motivated and that same day, I met him and requested for for information on the crops, which he gave me and asked me to visit a company by name Thai Agro based in Imo state.
I did some Google search on cucumber farming, quora actually taught me things, but it wasn't enough.
During this covid-19 pandemic break before the interstate lockdown Thai Agro organized a free tutorial program for young farmers called KUCH-99, which I attended and I was well trained and tutored on cucumber & watermelon farming
Now here is the problem to solve, which is truncating my studies and focusing on Agriculture.

I recently practiced cucumber farming three months ago ( June) ,I made around 25-30k (a small farm),
Am in 500l mechatronics engineering, still one more year to go and additional one year NYSC( altogether 2 yrs)
I lost my dad in 2015, since then school has been difficult, mom is a teacher in private school and her pay is less than 15k per month.
And am planning on taking this farming steps, because of the following reasons
1).. Am seeing it as a recreative business
2) I thought of farming and schooling at the same time, but the distance is too far, traveling from Alike Ikwo in ebonyi state (my school) to Ejule in kogi state my hometown (and where am planning to expand the farm) every weekend

3) cucumber is a perishable goods needed to be harvested every four to five days or else it rippens and also requires daily monitoring and direction of stem after staking , meaning I must be around.

4) I had thoughts of hiring land near the school, where I can grow the crops, haven't seen any. Also planned on begging the VC for few Hector's of land inside school since he is from faculty of Agriculture (but I don't see that being possible anyway)

5) paying school fees has been difficult for my mom, in-fact some of my 300l academic session fee's are still outstanding (not talking of engineering parents Levi)
With those few points I believe it's better for me to drop-off ,at least I have been to university and can write and speak fluently.
As to reducing the burden on my mom's shoulder, so she can focus on my other siblings, as for now this pandemic has been hell for us, because the proprietor of her haven't paid them for (march to July) salary because student's are not in school and situation might get worse when federal tertiary institutions resume and we start demanding for outstanding fees, not just now what of clearance?
Help me think about this and drop your suggestions on the comment box, but for me I think the odd for for me truncating my schooling is 70% , should have started preparing for it but I recently came across a post by Richdad50 that says "Life is the consequence of a series of choices you make. If you make good choices, you wont have a bad life. If you make bad choices, you cant have a good life. Take as long as you need to make your decisions. Dont be rushed, because you’ll live with the consequence"
So I needed for minds in other not to live with regret.

This is my life story,so don't comment rubbish
Mature minds please
@Richiez help get this to front page I beg.

Gov. Fayemi dey compromise

Thinking same thing right now

former Minister of Aviation, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode, has reacted to the suspension of Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State and ally, from the All Progressives Congress (APC).



Igbere TV had on Friday broke the news of the suspension of Gov Fayemi by a faction of the Ekiti APC led by Senator Tony Adeniyi, over alleged anti-party activities.



The APC said the governor was suspended due to “his numerous anti-party activities, especially his role in the recently concluded governorship election in Edo state” which saw the party losing out in the contest.



The party claimed that five days before the Edo election, Governor Fayemi hosted PDP big wig Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode in the government house in Ado-Ekiti and planned a coup against Edo APC.



"This is same Fani-Kayode who daily abuses President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, the APC as a party as well a vital section of our country. We have evidence of that meeting.



"Fani-Kayode specifically said he has gone on his tour as part of an effort between him and Fayemi to build a cross-party alliance and few hours after leaving Ekiti he fired a shot at Asiwaju Tinubu", APC alleged.



But reacting in a statement made available to Igbere TV, on Friday, Fani-Kayode said suspending Gov Fayemi from the APC over his visit to him in Ekiti was absurd.



"Governor Kayode Fayemi is a loyal member of the APC whilst I am in PDP. Accusing him of "anti-party activities" & attempting to suspend him from his party simply because I visited him to discuss national & SW issues is absurd.



"Is it "anti-party" to meet with a friend of over 30 years? Is it "anti-party" to try and find ways to enhance national unity and cohesion?



"Is it "anti-party" to apttempt to engender peace in our nation & to build bridges across regional, ethnic, religious and party lines? Is it "anti-party" to practice politics without bitterness?



"We must accept the fact that talking to those thet we do not agree with politically is something that ought to be encouraged. Politics is not war!", the ex-Aviation minister added.

Tribunal has sacked Kwara APC lawmaker, Adam Rufai



- Rufai's victory was nullified on Monday, September 28



- The tribunal, however, declared the PDP winner of the by-election



A candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Kwara state House of Assembly rerun election, Adam Rufai, has been sacked by the state election petition tribunal.



Legit.ng reports that the tribunal on Monday, September 28, nullified Rufai's victory in the by-election for Patigi constituency.



The tribunal subsequently declared Salihu Mohammed Gada of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) winner of the by-election held on March 14, 2020.



Reacting to the judgement, the Kwara state chapter of APC rejected the judgment of the tribunal which declared the candidate of PDP the winner of the recent Patigi by-election.



The tribunal explained that the judgment was based on the difference between ‘Adam’ and ‘Adama’ on the certificate of the candidate of the APC.



Kwara APC made the complaint in a press statement by its publicity secretary, Folaranmi Aro, on Monday, September 28.



The statement was titled, ‘APC rejects, to appeal Tribunal’s judgment on Patigi … Says judgment a judicial subversion of people’s mandate’.



Aro complained that the PDP never called any witness from the examination body to substantiate its claim that the APC candidate was not the owner of the certificate he tendered for his election.



Part of the statement read:



“The tribunal did not deny that we won the election overwhelmingly. It instead hid under a feeble excuse that the names of our candidate on the two certificates he presented to the electoral body are slightly different from each other to award our mandate to the opposition.



“This judgment is a violent attack on the position of the Supreme Court in many established cases where an alphabet was either omitted or added to a candidate’s name. We are definitely going to appeal the judgment because it signals danger for our democracy and amounted to stealing the mandate of the people. The judgment is a judicial subversion of the mandate of the people.”

That's the way it should be, thanks to the judiciary
