Ginger is cool money now. How did you plant it. Seeds or grafting. I have no idea.

I plan to start my farming side hustle by March. Which is purely Ugu, water leaf, bitter leaf and maybe pepper. Setting up the farm house now. But I don't know how to do with worker. I feel I might just need 1 worker since it's a 6 plots stead. And I plan most of the processes to be automated with time.
But fear still dey catch because this is a new territory for me

He should buy an acre of land and do everything to plant at least 200 plantain trees and 100 Coconut trees. Any money he makes again should go into gradually fencing and gating it. He will be in a very good place in 2/3 years.

You are very right on this.
My great-grandfather who I never met left over 200 oil-palm trees (the tall varieties) when he died.

In the month of October, the caretaker who manages the hectares of land in the South-west pat of Nigeria recently called me to come and pick up 12 (25kg) kegs of red palm oil for the extended family.

Each keg at market price costs N60,000. Cool cash right!!!

On the same plot of land, there is Cocoa in a section (river side) of the land, there are oranges and mangoes, Bitter Kola and plantain trees.
Imagine, what comes from the land yearly without ever breaking sweat.

My fathers brothers recently planted another 100 oil-palm trees (short agric variety) in the last ten years.


You have spoken well. People don't know the power of the soil. The soil is the best friend you can have . Do you know the miracles one can achieve even through small backyard farming? Just small backyard farming can make you comfortable in cash if you know what you are doing. Not to talk of cultivating acres of land. The Northerners are not comfortable with Southerners going into serious Agriculture. This is one of the reasons for the Fulani onslaught on farms in Southern Nigeria. This threat should not stop you from getting serious with Agriculture though. Cheers.
Most of them have passed away but the legacy still remains.

Not everything is buildings or hotels or houses.

Did you write the company that paid you and the person that gifted you to resend the money through other means as the money was returned to them by paystack? Since it was legitimate transactions they would have sent the money back to you.
Furthermore it is normal for such financial institutions to reverse reject or reverse money their system automatically flags as high risk, it is either it is blocked or refunded, this is to avoid them running against Eg money laundering laws governing their operations. Oga this time last year I had emergency and needed money, I tried fluttereave send app but for reasons I do not know it did not work, I called a friend in the UK that I know does business here in naija that he should give me his account details so I could transfer money from my UK account to his own while he gives me naira, Omo I tried 5 times it did not go, even when It went it returned to my account within minutes. Someone linked me to a person doing money transfer to Nigeria, I tried to transfer to the person's account, same thing it did not go. Guess what, I finally had to transfer to my brother's account and it went instantly! How come? I was told for what ever reasons those transactions was flagged through some funny algorithm in the banks network.
Since you did a work for your money or it was gifted, then contact the sender to resend through other means.

My friend and I relocated to Oyo and planted about 5 hectare of maize and cassava, two months later, after fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides and all that, fulani herdsmen entered the farm and destroyed everything with their cattle. It was as if our child died.
We went to their settlement inside the bush, tracked and located the persons responsible, arrested them with police, and then used our savings and shop investment money to be pursuing police and court case with herdsmen. Nothing came out of it. We stopped when our money was exhausted, there was threat to life, and an intercommunal dispute because of us, and began from ground zero.
We had to take up teaching jobs just to survive, before we relocated out of the place.

Mine was when I was posted from one of the south south state in 2010 to one of the western state. I am a federal Worker gotten there my boss called everybody out one day and said money spend in clearing the compound surrounding the office complex is huge that he wants any office willing to farm to be given portions, some of us from other states agreed why the indigen from the state didn't show interest.
Though farming has always been my hubby, I planted yams,vegetable(ugwu) and maize on my farm . The harvest was huge and I gat to be bringing yams to my state in the south south anytime I go back to pay my parents visit and I really enjoy those yams. What shock me is that some of my colleagues when I am not around they will just go and be stealing some of my things in the farm and these were the people that said they were not interested.

Some years back when i was at my parents home. I planted pineapples and i may sure i watered it every morning and evening but it took up to 2 years for the pineapples to mature and produce fruits. I was so happy when it finally produced it first fruit. I felt like a proud father.

Dynahh:
Your best way to cultivate this is by intercropped with maize, cocoayam, plantain with cocoa

There are more germs on the phone you are holding to take pictures than inside of the bottles she picked there. The bottles are closed with the lid before been trashed in the dustbin
