stechi:

@Lesgupnigeria I so much commend your generosity in giving us all these information in plantain farming and be rest assured that God would continue to bless you richly in your businesses because you are really uplifting lives.

By God's grace, I own quite some plots of land in my villa back in the eastern part of the country (village within Imo State precisely) and sincerely I have always been thinking on venturing into agro business once I leave paid employment and plantain (being one of my favourite) is basically the major crop I want to deal on along with Yam and Cocoyam.

I would like to find out if your mentoring would take care of me considering the location of my land and also once I am ready to start,I hope I can buy your suckers to use on my farmland.

Concerning your free training,for those of us residing far from your location,how do we stand to benefit.
Do you mind organising a seminar/workshop here within Lagos even if it means paying (considering venue and other logistics that would be involved)?
Because, I am an advocate for entrepreneurship considering the economic situation of things and the number of graduates churned out of higher institutions regularly. We need to encourage our teeming youths not to wait for government windfall (if any) and get themselves engaged in something meaningful,agriculture is about being re-birthed as a major income source for the economy,the earlier we key into it,the beneficial for all involved.

Lesgupnigeria:
