My Popman happens to have considered Agriculture as an hobby, though he works with one of these new generation banks. He plants several things at his backyard, ranging from Yam, Corn, vegetables etc He showed me some of the things he planted when I came home today.
I was really surprised seeing the yam he harvested from only one ridge (which yorubas call Ebe), and this really shows that if everyone could just get involved in Agriculture, things would be much easier.

See the harvested yams below

Lalasticlala do justice


we need more farmers to boost agriculture sector in Nigeria. South west land is green.

Peasant or commercial
Farming is farming....
The soil is sure good for yam planting.

Farming is family's hobby.
Backyard full of plantain trees, different vegetables, pepper, tomatoes, even lil cocoas

end time yam

No matter how small, the joy of eating this yam can never be compared to the one bought in the market!!

The joy of eating this yam ehhh, seriously. The yam was even prepared the same night and pounded yam with nice egusi soup with chicken was prepared. I was just happy eating the pounded yam because the yam emanated from the backyard of the house.
Even the chicken that was used for the egusi soup was from the small poultry he has.

And in addition to the yam plantation, he planted plantains, bananas, 2 coconut trees already yielding big and delicious coconuts and lots of different varieties of vegetables. Seriously, I just told him, "Dad, this is awesome". You wouldn't believe how the neighbours reacted on sighting the yams alone, they were just longerthroating for the yams. Lol

I am also thinking of doing something similar ; cos it seems it is the right thing and funful thing to do, eating the things you planted yourself, please let's all embrace Agriculture no matter how small.

E se, thank you!
