The issue of insecurity is quite alarming in Nigeria and that has affected agriculture in the land making hardship to become unbearable as it stands now. Agricultural products use to be our main export in the recent past but what has happened now is that politicians have become indifferent to the challenges facing the system. Here we see a Vice president from Tanzania retiring back to his father's farm but same is not happening in Nigeria unfortunately. I would have shown the picture of the VP but I'm yet to get to where I can attach images for now.

None, I do not think there is any politicians that has interest in a farm to retire to instead they will use all the money that they have stolen to start up a company that they will be overseeing when they retire from politics. I have not seen any politicians that wants to go back to farming. They can claim to be farmers but they are not the ones going to the farms instead they have many farm workers that do everything for them then they make the money. The have upgraded the way the farm are being done but the numbers of politicians doing this is not big. The challenges of farming is increasing because of the increase in insecurity and untill insecurity is fought then won in the country, farming will keep being a dangerous career to take. Farmers do not make enough money and have high risk of kidnappings, sexual assault for woman and other bad things.
