Why Do Some People Think Farming Is For Poor People? —Yam-Sack Farming

I got married to an agriculturist that always want to experiment everything he studied in school.

Yes, where I come from, people see farming as suffering but my husband sees it as fun.


I'm like, you are using the farming thing to joke because you didn't come from a home that their children go to farm daily, by now, e for don tire you.

He will just laugh about it and reply,
“It’s always worth it.”
And honestly, doing this with him is fun.


What some people see as suffering, others see as opportunity.
What some people call dirty work, others call food, business, peace, and investment.

Now this Yam-Sack Farming we’re doing has become another reminder that farming is not just about hardship. It can also be creative, productive, and even exciting when done with passion and knowledge.
At the end of the day, farming feeds everybody, rich or poor.

We couldn't do this (plant yams on sack) last year because we had to take care of the little cutie added to the family.

The yam sacks are to be placed in our backyard, so we went to the land opposite to get some black sand.

Here she is having the best time of her life 😄

@TheLordofHost

Come and see the real definition of unkempt here😄

My Baby and I forgot to wear our wigs to the farm.

Ahhh! She's playing with sand, she's not supposed to touch it.

You can mess with me on my thread and I will stay quiet but messing with a 1 year old is the height of it.

You called my baby unhealthy, look at her body shape and energy, does she look hungry to you?
You said so many things because you want to get me pained and I'll still remind you that she's not the cause of your problems.


After today, you will be mindful of what you comment on Nairaland.

Meanwhile, I'll keep documenting our lives on Nairaland and you can keep crying about it.

Peace ✌️🙂

Your baby girl is very beautiful.

Don't let their negative comments get to you.

Always speak life/positive words into your baby (into her spirit)
She will hear/understand you, and flourish.

Pray for her always, especially before posting her online ( I know why I am telling you this)

Negative words of others don't matter. They hold no power over the life of your child. Especially when you counter it with positive words.

You're so right

Thank You ❤️

You're a disgrace to humanity and your family can never be as happy and peaceful as theirs.

It's obvious that someone that's pained about other people's happiness and success can never be happy.

Our cute Angel will grow in strength and wisdom.


Amen 🙏.

@thelordofhost, this is very bad. Learn how to respect the privacy of other people. The op's husband might be taking marijuana as a recreational drug and taking weed is his own cup of tea. Not your own problem. Why post his picture online ? It is like you have an axe to grind with him 😬😬😬. Sort out the matter offline and not on Nairaland. Cheers.

Funny enough he roams on Nairaland picking on people's posts.

They barely create meaningful threads but get jealous of other people's threads.

Op, Just listen to @Mariangeles advice and completely ignore him.

Because Nigerians want to go and work in an office, not work with the hands.

It is because of the orientation they grew up with it. Farming is actually fun if done with the right knowledge and investment capital. Most farmers equally fail to get their children involved in farming.

Visit developed countries and you will realise that farming is hereditary moving from generation to another. A farm in the United States has a poultry, a large hectares of lands for special maize farming. These maize are used for feed production while the remnants are used kept for feeding other livestock like cows, goats etc.

Our people need to understand that there's life outside politics and white collar jobs

Don't mind them, comment like that always come from a particular tribe, very bitted set of people, some of them are still feeding from the their parents

I have been involved in both farming and the trading of agricultural produce, and I am still active in the latter today. Based on my experience, I can confidently say that farming in Nigeria is largely a survival venture for the poor. Of course, a poor person cannot afford to operate a large scale irrigated farm.

What an agro trader can make in a single month, many farmers struggle to earn in an entire year.

As for sack farming, I would only do it out of a passion for agriculture. From a profitability standpoint, I would rather drink beer and catfish with the money

When you factor in the cost of seedlings, labour, maintenance, transportation, and the sheer stress involved, it becomes clear that many Nigerian farmers are simply storing money in the soil rather than running a truly profitable business.

This is not to say farming is impossible to profit from, but for the average small scale farmer in Nigeria, the returns often do not justify the investment, effort, and risk

The little guy look cute. Welldone sor!

Unfortunately Tinubu reduced the purchasing power of people
Insecurity
Hyper inflation on the rise due to dollar exchange rate and other economic factors
Only mechanized farming is the way to go if the average man wants significant wealth from farming
Subsistence farming and the use of ancient tools isn’t the way to go

Even the sight of the yam 🍠 looks like poverty

Farming is risky you can get screw at any time, it should be done as a side hustle

to work in hand is not a funny thing if you are not financially ok

Yowaa...... send am por my famfay and ofay, pipty million

Even as a kid I hated agriculture. I ditched that subject in Jss 2 and have never regretted it. Only thing I go to the farm for is harvesting and going to join the workers while they're enjoying. I can only invest and never participate.
