I sold my Ugu leafs 🍃🍃 in an open 🔓 market last week directly to the consumers! And people in the market were just looking at me like someone that wore backside of cloths! 🤷🏿‍♂️ 😂. I was able to finish the sells within 10 minutes. Why? Check CS!

A week after the kidnapping in Oyo state, I went 2 market 2 buy some agro inputs. On our way back to the farm we meet some Fulani boys with their cows on the road. Right dere d bike man said he's not going again I begged him especially bcos of the load, bro. He refused o.

One of the reasons every Igbo man should make time to visit home once in a while. I have an uncle, my father's immediate younger brother, who got married while living in Lagos. Unfortunately, the marriage did not last, though it produced a daughter. In what seemed like an act of bitterness after the separation, the woman took the child and disappeared. Her family was quite wealthy and they were accomplice, and despite my uncle's efforts to find them, he never succeeded. Eventually, he moved on and remarried. Years later, the daughter being an adult reached out and reconnected with her father. Since then, he has been actively involved in her life. The rest of us cousins don't know her because we were familiar only with the children from his second marriage. One day, I travelled home and accompanied my father to a family gathering. My uncle was there, and I exchanged greetings with him as well . While I was seriously concentrating on the plates of the sweet occasion onugbu soup and akpụ before me, a beautiful young lady walked past. You know that beauty of a princess and someone born inside wealth. Immediately, my mind concluded that I had found my wife. I was already planning how to introduce myself and collect her contact. But as the event went on, I heard my father call out, “Chinwendu, bịa!” At that moment, I thought heaven had made things easy for me. Since my father knew her, I was already imagining a loved approved by both parents. Then she came over, and my father casually introduced her to me as my cousin. My cousin? I was like, "Oga I know all my cousins" no whyne me o!! 🙄. Then he mentioned that she was my uncle's daughter from his first marriage. Instantly, the old story came flooding back. We were very young when everything happened, but I vaguely remembered meeting her mum once or twice. I looked at her again, this time properly, and suddenly saw the family resemblance staring back at me. Just like that, my crush became my relative. We exchanged numbers anyway, and since then, we've built a wonderful family relationship. Sometimes, going home doesn't just reconnect you with your roots it can also save you from unknowingly committing abominations.

Beautiful scene!!! . Embrace Nature through Agriculture 🥰.

Last week, someone here on X placed an order worth over ₦200,000 for some agro-inputs from us. As a first-time customer, I wanted to extend a little extra courtesy by arranging for the products to be delivered directly to his farm through a dispatch rider. That was where the challenge began. Five different riders turned down the job, all citing the same concern: insecurity and kidnapping by Fulani herdsmen along that route. The only rider who eventually agreed insisted that he would stop at a particular junction and have someone from the farm come out to collect the goods. Understandably, my customer was not comfortable with that arrangement. He argued that although the community had experienced security incidents in the past, that things had improved considerably. According to him, his farm is active, workers are on site, and farm activities are going on as usual. Yet, the fear of previous events leaves a lasting impression. The stigma attached to that route has remained in the minds of these transporters. And frankly, I cannot blame them. Everyone is trying to stay alive. This is one of the less discussed ways insecurity affects agriculture and agro-business. Beyond the direct losses, it disrupts the movement of inputs, produce, labour, and services. Imagine a farmer without a private means of transportation, unable to bring supplies into the farm or move produce to market because transporters refuse to ply his/her route. Such farm would gradually become unsustainable and automatically fold. Or assuming my "first time customer" changed his mind and asked for a refund, do you think it's good to my own business!. In the end, we resolved the matter by having the customer come to the shop and pick up his order himself. Looking back to the event , I do not think anyone was entirely right or wrong, not the riders, not the farmer, and certainly not me. Each person was simply acting based on their assessment of risk. That, unfortunately, is where we are as a country today: everyone is doing their best to earn a living while trying to stay safe and avoid "emergency death" May our Nation be healed 👏🏿.

Before you say growing corn is easy just know that if you didn't give sweetcorn quality water during the flowering stage you might not have good fruits. Happy Sunday 🌽✌️

“How much can you make from farming GINGER on HALF PLOT OF LAND” I am running this experiment as a bet between me and my guy that’s a pepper farmer and I am like let me carry my people here along so you can see. The bet is half plot of ginger farm will yield more profit than 1 acre of habanero pepper in 7 months 5million naira is on the line for me. Because most people still think you need acres of land to make millions of Naira from agriculture. I have always been against that belief. So How much can you actually make from ginger farming without owning acres of land? Let’s break it down Video in frame 1 is On April 23rd, 2026, we planted just 3 bags of ginger (210kg total) on half a plot of land. Today, at 7 weeks after planting, the farm is looking promising. No fertilizer has been applied yet. No fungicide sprays yet. Just chicken manure applied during land preparation. Video in Frame 2 is fast forward to 7 weeks after planting… The field is already looking strong and developing steadily. But this isn’t even the interesting part. The interesting part is what this small farm can potentially return. Based on our projections: Worst case (underperforming farm): 15 bags harvest Moderate performance: 21–24 bags Best case scenario (everything goes right): up to 30 bags And that 30 bags is our target All this from half a plot. half a plot. This is why I’m documenting the entire journey. Now if you want me to take this further. For me to breakdown the total cost of this half-plot project full input expenses labor management and projected profit at harvest If you want me to post the full financial breakdown of this experiment? just type “BREAKDOWN” in the comments. 👇 Or should I just keep it private and show the final harvest result?

And it's the same way we don't see the worth of most animals we have. #indigenousbreeds #farmers #Nigeria #WestAfrica #Africa

Ugu farming is a gold mine. Cut it today, apply manure and it's ready for harvest again in 2 weeks. The funny thing is the daily high demand.

The very first day I left Anambra for Lagos, I carried ugu seeds with me. Along with some cucumber seeds. If you ask me why, I honestly don’t know. I just couldn’t leave them behind. I knew how much I bought them. I bought them to plant… then plans changed. I didn’t want them to spoil. Funny thing is, it followed me that long distance, Anambra to Lagos and I still couldn’t plant it. In the end, it spoiled. Later, when I got to Ogun State. I saw many people farming ugu seriously in large scale and with good management. Their target market "was"Lagos. And they were not Igbo. Not Calabar. Just people who saw value and acted on it. That was the moment it dawned on me that the ugu we see as “ordinary” is not ordinary anymore. We as ndị Igbo grew up around it, so we stopped seeing its worth. What is common to us is now gold to someone else. People are making a name with our indigenous plants outside igbo land. Last, year Farmer Samson branded Ugu for export and special market. #farmers #farm

This was where i began! Ugu, Paw-paw and vegetable farming! Nobody taught me how to do it, but I navigated it till i became perfect. You too can do it.

This

Ugwu master Dey ask me wey plant for consumption 😒 me I no know if e cost o I no buy for market

Ugwu farmers

The reason is simple. most farmers were discouraged from planting ugu and some other vegetables due to the poor pricing in the previous batch. so some didn't even. bother to plant as it's already rainy season and they believe the price wil drop further.

So tell me, why did you run away from cucumber after the December glut? Take mic and tell me something. Harvest day is a happy day

Get your seedlings here

I heard that price of Ugu leaf has increased in the food market! 1kg is now ₦1500 naira. Who is farming currently and how true is it?

Indigenous habanero pepper, the best fr Good market value I have over 20 acres at vegetative stage and 10 acres worth of seedlings still in nursery.

Agriculture is largely conditioned offline and online. U hardly see any agricultural content go viral on any social media platform. Dat's y there are so many silent millionaires in agric. You just make your gain or lose and go home nobody really cares or pay attention to farmers.
