Governments in Nigeria is not functioning. We can't keep waiting for empty promises. Start small from your angle.

100Cents: I have not been successful with animal farming.
Dunno why.
I bought male and female goat in 2012 and the male was always making noise. The male goat never mated with the female. I killed the noisome male. The female is still there.
I asked one silly girl to help me buy local breed of male and female chicken for agric, she went and bought only a Cork, no hen. I asked her why, she said she will sell me one of her mature hens..
Now the Cork has run away, no hen yet. Smh. If she brings the hen, I will just eat it.
Nah only plantain and banana I get for backyard be the only farming I don do. Yet I love farming.

Childish comment!

@op, nice write up I must say.

Misterpaul: I think a lot of youths are actually interested in agriculture, but the problem is that most don't have any idea and access to good and reliable information on how or where to even start from.
When you go on the internet to source for information on agriculture, all you'll is some useless people asking you to buy one nonsense Ebook or attend seminars where they will ask you to buy materials.

carzim: good write-up but do you have any idea about plantain farming

moredolu: Really agriculture would have a been a better option for the youths of this nation but there should be a sound knowledge about it. I once farmed while I was doing my youth service and I really had the intention to continue on that line, but we all the community havested the same time and our produces were perishable goods, there was no storage facility and majority of us couldn't store for a long period so I was left with no option but to sell them. I made little or no gain after much labour I was discourged after my service year and had to return back to city and searched for a white collar job.
Please don't get me wrong, agriculture goes beyond farming.

dellaziz: Please anybidy has a clue how much tractors cost..I I saw on john deree site . .15-10 mills...can 1 find cheaper Dan 5milla

jethro2:
You are right. But one has to keep searching and looking for information until you get the right source. Most of the Ebooks and internet information are quite misleading. They are extremely different from the practical aspect. Seek for real farmers that are in the field. the internet information could serve as a guide though

topetobi: One aspect of agriculture dat is not too detailed is d marketing aspect, I believe to a large extent dat agriculture is a gud venture to invest in without much loss(if there would b) but wen u don't know where to sell to,then one is kept in between, soybeans is abundant where I'm presently, infact I have a small soybeans farm but where to sell it to, to make gud money is d problem cos it's in abundance here to make reasonable profit
