₦airaland Forum

Good morning all,

I have been reading all the conversation on this thread for some days now and as a result of my interest in being a member of the train I decided to open a nairaland account to enable me connect with you guys.

You guys are doing really great, and I really appreciate that and kind of jealous too. Anyways, I am also an aspiring farming, that's what I can say because I have only being training and gathering knowledge about different kinds of farming (animal & crop), but I have not started out my own farm. I used most of the times I had during the many delays that my Alma mater (O.A.U Ile-Ife) brought my way during my university days to learn farming as it has always appealed to me.

Now, after spending so many years in delay, from schooling to NYSC, I have found my self at home jobless despite graduating with a good grade (2.1), and even taking professional certifications (CIPM, CICRM) to boost my appeal of employability to employers since I have a deep passion for people management, I still find myself checking my mail each day to see if I have been called for an assessment by prospective employers, yet nothing, and I still keep sending out CVs.

Although I have always had it in plan to venture into agribusiness but I was not seeing it as a stand alone means of livelihood. "Me sef wan wear suit na, and tie rope for neck, and AC dey blow me, you get". Then I can now use some of the money I get to finance the farm blah blah blah since the knowledge was there already, that was the plan. But now things have not gone as planned. It is now approximately 5 weeks and 2 days after P.O.P and still nothing. But before I finished service I started making plans towards starting a farm since I was already seeing signs of no job prospects, but my main issue still remain - LAND, I have not being able to get since I have been searching.

I had plans of starting my farm in my service year before but fortunately I was posted to Lagos, in the heart of it - Ikeja. Where will one be able to farm like in such a place?

Well, guys please I would love to join the association in advance prospect of starting up my farm, I hope my request will be granted. Anyhow "sha", I pray the Almighty God bless our hustle.

Still in search of land, and as soon as I get one, ugu is a prime candidate for my venture start up, for I look forward to start up my farming venture with crop farming - vegetables precisely before any other provided there are viable means of advancement.

Thank you for your patience and time. Mr Egula hoping to hear something positive from you and the crew.
