Agriculture , our lost glory The worse of it is that we hardly would have an ordinary Nigerian say this right now with the current insecurity situation in the country, saying he is leaving his job in town to retire to his farm in the village.
Such person will go hungry because the farm that was suppose to provide food for you will be overrun by herders. No, I seriously disagree with this bold statement here, yes it's true that we have security concerns going on in the country, but not everywhere in the country as you are making it looks like, some people can sleep very well with their eyes close because peace and security of their farm products is secured, not everywhere we have security issues.
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.
This is also false, buhari our past immediate president has a large farm that he is presently running in his home town duara, even though he has labourers working for him, the reason am bringing this up is for you to know that something like this is also happening in Nigeria, just that the media wouldn't focus on such because the bad deed of our politicians has overshadowed their good deeds and what they are presently doing, so we also have politicians that is also farming in large scale, just that they have people in place working for them, and if you are in position, you will do the same, you will definitely employ labourers to do it for you not you going there yourself.
