Well I am proud to be a farmer. How did it start, when I was getting married during my introduction my wife's uncle give us 50k we thanked him as he was the highest giver, then I asked what he was into "a farmer". Got back to Lagos and resumed work. After a year we got a call from the U S it was uncles Daughter calling to say Hi she was in school, ok. Two year later his son was in Canada also in school, immediately my wife and I started thinking, someone we say is in the village sending his kids abroad, I then ask what type of farming? Piggy and plam kennel, wow. My brother and sister that was how I left my job for farming. It was rough the first year but we fine now having 50 acres coping pepper, plantain, watermelon and pineapple. Also now have a farm consulting firm helping people set and run their farm, providing labour and training for the farm owning. If you put your mind to it weather the first year trust me you will be home dry 6 Likes 4 Shares |

kobonaire:think wisely. You may be a fresh graduate hence this your line of thought Who said you can't enjoy all these in your well established farm.Rome was not built in a day.You will even enjoy more of these things.You have you own office well furnished much more than your little shared office.Wise up.The earlier the better. |

You wont smell fowl fowl because you own a poultry if you maintain proper hygiene in your farm. Poultry business is profitable but its not a get rich scheme, you will have to grow the business over time. I run a poultry though with few layer birds and i must say its a business one can do that will bring in extra change. PiccoloBrunelli: |

Yes! I would quit my job to start my own farm without looking back for a sec. I spent 4 years at the university, bagged a degree in Fisheries, served on a fish farm for a year and managed my own fish farm for another year. I now work in an 'office' not because i really want to but because i discovered that to run a farm on a scale big enough to live comfortably i needed some BIG bucks. Saving up on that now and i'm sure when the time is right imma drop the pen, roll up my sleeves and hit the farm! |

Have always love agriculture with passion! And have really worked hard towards becoming a good farmer. I like to farm, and I have an agro allied blueprint for Nigeria and her youth to enable "us" acquire youth common wealth to see her (Nigeria youth) dispense goodies that will see her turn around her economy. Have done a lot of campaign with NYSC and secondary school children, and they seems to like the initiative. Went further to execute some projects with the fund and support given to me during the campaign. Will always be remembered in the community where I served in Ukala, Oshimili North Delta state. The links to some of my works albums are as follows. https://m.facebook.com/ofikwu.emmanuel.9/albums/465152583651431/ https://m.facebook.com/ofikwu.emmanuel.9/albums/320111994822158/ https://m.facebook.com/ofikwu.emmanuel.9/albums/519699281530094/ |

seguno2:you just talked like someone who his dwaft... Ppl with dis ur ideal are who will not let 9ja developed... Do you need a university certificate to be a successful politician? Do varsity like FUTA,FUTO, FUTMINA,LAUTECH who do not have Political science course, Do have SUG? What if you are once an SUG member in varsity now can't be a politicians... All what those need is charisma,good leadership spirit, boldness, ability to solve problem to become a politician#If You can't expect an agric graduate to be a doctor or lawyer... Then Y do yoy expect a Lawyer,Doctor to be a farmar manager. |
