I once listened to a Lady Facilitator and farmer at an Agribusiness seminar in February 2017, she said Nigeria has a population of over 200m, and that if each person eats N100 each in the morning, afternoon and evening which is N300/day, that it gives a total of N60bn daily, and she asked a question, “how much is your own there”.

I became very restless from there on, and the following morning, I started calling my relations to find out where I could get land for Agric purposes. This wasn’t just the start, some things in life has a divine link, I was listening to a man of God in October 2016, he was raising an offering he tagged “Loving the Land”, I participated and he said the proceed would be used for Agric purposes in that land, I was in USA when this happened, I got back to Nigeria and everything that entered my head was all about Agriculture, prior to that time if anyone had told me I would be involved in agriculture, I would have asked the person to sleep back and wake up again to be sure of the person he needed to deliver the message to.

It was the time for the 2016 Lagos International Trade Fair and I went all round looking for anything Agric., and wanting to know more, I obtained the form to join the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) and since then it has been from one progressive step to another.

watch out for this space for the continuation series.
