Calitoscassius:
i am not entirely sure, but getting a HONEST, dedicated and good football agent would help.

dominique:
A lot of northerners have gotten super rich from agriculture. A lot of mallams that left security guard job in my childhood neighbourhood to return to farming in the village went on to become ballers. I don't know how they're faring now with banditry and insurgency.

The Agriculture Problems In Nigeria:
Your permutations -on Agricultural Prosperity is Not True,yet there is Money 💰,BIG MONEY 🤑 in Agriculture- if we are Ready and if we can Do it Well
-Those Northern Mallams,only makes agriculture for their Families no more and possibly migrated to another jobs- e.g Okada-transport and that is why you don't see them again!
If the Agric businesses is so money- rich,then ALL those in the North should be NBillionnaires by Now!
- Agriculture has goods things -attached but Govt- from Local, States and Federal Govt MUST give Funds -to Support Agric and this is lacking in Nigeria!
-Ask the Various Ministries- they Only Seat in the Offices,Draw on the Budgets Money-and went their Ways- every year!
•Why Can't the Northern People,with the Land they have- Feed the North- e g Bauchi , even Borno OR even Feed the whole Nigeria?
Because Agriculture Is Stressful,as you need A Big Financial Support, different from your own
- Why Can't those Billionaires in the North, even in Nigeria- e .g .most Governors, Politicians moved into Agric,but easily got Oil Blocks- to be enjoying Oil Money 🤑 for life!
*Solutions is for govt to :
1.Create a yearly AGRIC FUNDS - like Anchor 🔱 Borrower's Farmers Money,to Assist both New and old Farmers- to get Access ♿ to Cheap Funding of Agriculture in Nigeria,but your bro Former Govenr Emiefiele,under Buhari - Killed the Initiatives that Dr Adesina - former Agric Minister-under GEJ- Put in Place,so many Non-Farmers got the Money- Under Emiefiele ,because of Political Interest and Corruption,then the Farmers disappeared, and No Food For Nigerians.Who Do You Blame.
•2.All Farmers Funds - should be given to Farmers -at a Very Low Interest Rates e.g 2- 3% Banks Interest Borrowing Rates- but our Nigerian -Govt don't see it that way,s the Banks in Nigeria Charges a very high Interest Rate of 20- 27 % and above - is this the way to get Money/ Funds in Nigeria?
- ALL Over the World 🌎,e.g Europe has Zero Interest Rates for All Agricultural Loans,
same in USA, even in India,but Nigerian Govt - is too abstracts - why Should we be Charging 27% Interest on Loan Facilities in Nigeria Or 9% Interest Rates?
Are we serious in Nigeria at all?
- If the Various Govts- Past and the Present ( States Governors,Legislators, including Foreigners that wants Agric and the Govts in Power-that came to Power - have taken Agriculture Seriously,has given it a Priority - Nigeria will be Exporting Agriculture Products - to the World but Greed and Corruption - became part of the game , even from CBN, and the Banks!
e.g Why are the Agriculture in Nigeria - is Practised in the Offices,under Air-conditioned Office!
• In the North today,ONLY Governor Bago of Niger State - has taken Agriculture Seriously 😳 and Kudos To Him!
-We MUST ALL go back to Agriculture - if India Country of 1.45 Billion People are Feeding themselves - a Country as Big as Africa and are -Exporting Food 🥝 🥑, everywhere,e.g Indian Rice is all over Nigeria,so Why Can't Nigeria Feed her 220 -Million People?
-Why Can't We Feed Africa and and earn FOREX ( foreign exchange 💱??
We can do it,if and when we are Serious
- even from Local Govt,
from the States Governments and
-From the Federal Govt - Ministers of Agriculture in Nigeria are sitting down in Air Conditioned Offices- but NBillions Agric Budgets -are going down!
- We can Overcome the Security of the Terrorists,the Kidnappers, and Criminals Across tOur Borders- if the People are not Benefitting from the Crimes- by given these Criminals - Support by some Community Heads, Collecting Money 💰 from the Terrorists- to get Information they used against our Security!
-We( ALL)- Should Be Patrotic enough,as NIGERIANS and help the Govt- achieve Breakthrough in Agriculture and Feed Ourselves.
Remember the OBJ- Operations Feed The Nation then,so what happened?

Yes, you need a work permit to play proffessionally.. obviously, if they are going to pay you they need to deduct taxes.

sigh... ok thanks

sylve11:
Bro, kindly share me your contact. There is something i want to reason with you. You can quote me on dead thread. Thank you.

Okay. You quote me there and I will drop

gracealonev:
Farming is naturally profitable....

Okay , are you profiting too?

floss:
You don’t mean it

Me sef I'm asking

whippersnapper:
The owner of umza airlines?
Billionaire Alhaji Umar Abubakar maifata from Kano made his money from selling rice.

Selling rice? Or planting rice and selling
There different types or aspect and ways to "selling rice"
All of which can make one wealthy

BlueStripper:
Agriculture is the way to go.

A tech bro must eat.
A Doctor must eat.
A lawyer must eat.
A pharmacist must eat.
An engineer must eat.

The beautiful thing about Agriculture in Nigeria now is that we set the price and you have no choice than to purchase it.

If you complain, we say "Tinubu Regime, Fuel Don Cost or Dollar don High"

Don't mention me to talk about the ripple effects. I am enjoying it 😀

I like when other professionals who the society applauds are begging me to sell my yams to them like their life depends on it (of course it does 😉).


All those things they do to me in the hospital when I need medication, I do it back to them. I even tell them to get out of they don't want to buy my goods. Lol

Like every other profession, we put in the work when it's time and reap the rewards with time.

Most of us have gone into warehousing, storage and hoarding.

So apart from farming , you are now doing warehousing and storage? How are you doing it?

You farm mainly Yams?

MaziObinnaokija:

What's that?

Tradepunter2:
Forget all these nonsense talk.... What crop are they planting??

As you can see, I'm only asking questions too.
Cos I know most farmers till today, are not all that there
Trying to understand. Why all this misguided, taking without understanding

Tradepunter2:
I have meet many hausas that are farmers that left because of insecurities.... Met many middle belt people who left because of insecurities.... And all have in common is that timing of rain is essentially for certain crops.... Now I ask myself how many hecters of land do this so called rich folks harvest..... What is the demand and supply equation... Don't just put lazy topics and think everyone is gullible....

Insecurity aside, I'm talking of those in places where insecurity isn't a thing. Fairly safe.

Secondly in what way am I putting out lazy topics? When you go through my topics, you will see that I post topics to discuss as things come to my mind

Tradepunter2:
Even in Benue that produces yam.... I have met more farmers that farm for self consumption.... We made order couple of weeks ago.... The transport cost alone to Lagos nearly eroded protected margins.... Now if we reject the yam... What other markets can the Farmer go to.... All these senseless topics

I'm also asking too, because I want to understand, and I know reality is different.
Why saying senseless? Did I insinuate anything? I just said an observation, meaning general situation & reality must be opposite and this my observation goes against it

Usmanovic95:
Agriculture is the only sure investment that can give you back 100% ROI if done correctly and you put in the best practises.

Which one are you doing

Tradepunter2:
Yesterday our truck of potatoes landed.... Lagosians consume more potatoes than yam.... Because price is Fair across all value chain....

Which type of potatoes?

sacajawea:
Which one are you doing

Livestock farminng(Rabbit)

Emeskhalifa:
Money dey farming ooo. But thing is, won't people laugh at you when you tell them na farmer you be?
.

Wtf??!
Tf is this??

lapintoz:
Ebinpawa o.....only for the lazy people....

This TPain era, I am smiling to the bank doing my buying and selling quietly. Increased my margin, increased my revenue, increased my profit... 😁

Okay. In what crops exactly?

lexy2014:
Has he motivated himself?

Who??

Usmanovic95:
Livestock farminng(Rabbit)

Okay... And it's going well?

lexy2014:
What about you?

What is your agricultural testimony?

If you read it well, you will see I'm not into it. just sharing my thoughts and waiting for others to comment

sacajawea:
Okay... And it's going well?

Yes ,Thank God for that. Hopefully I will love to set up a crop farm before the end of the year and start an integrated farm.

sacajawea:

Can you show where you stated in your post that you are into agriculture?

If you are into agriculture, why are you talking about other people instead of yourself?

sacajawea:
In a space of a few months, less than 6 months, this is the 3rd person I'm meeting that got quite comfortable, within a short space from Agricultural and farming.
Leased a land, planted crops, harvested, made money.
It was fairly straightforward.
I know others, but these ones I know from very close, not too far, some I've known many years ago, now they now got better financially. Much much better

What about you?

What is your agricultural testimony?

sacajawea:
Who??

you

Usmanovic95:

Please how do you sell the rabbit?

I mean what’s the market like

Bluewurld:

The market is big although you can't compare it with chicken or beef, it's not at that level but it's actually getting there. You need to network and connect with other farmers through Facebook and WhatsApp rabbit farmers group to sell as livestock or sell processed grilled rabbit on e-commerce food website.

lexy2014:
you

Why do you say so?
How would you know that?
