I got this from facebook and decide to share it here. I don't know who this might help.
Every plant you see here in Africa is pure potential income - you just need the right knowledge and connections to turn them into profit!
Last year, we secured a contract to export 20 tons of dogoyaro (neem) seeds, and just last month, a friend sent me a deal for 7,000kg of dried guava leaves - which we’re actively working on now.
And look at this - dogoyaro leaves taking over my backyard like free money waiting to be harvested!
Due to sea levels rise and land scarcity, Netherlands is leading the way with an ingenious solution - floating farms.
They're built on water, can withstand floods and adapt to changing sea levels, making them climate-resilient by design.
By harnessing solar power, wind energy, and rainwater harvesting, these floating farms produce fresh food - from dairy to hydroponic vegetables - without occupying precious land. This revolutionary approach offers a sustainable blueprint for farming in an era of climate uncertainty.
Imagine growing crops and raising animals on water. I asked AI if this was fake but it confirms that it is true. Neatherland is doing it.
This is good for areas where land is scarce and very expensive. Using such land for agriculture will not be profitable.
Also, there is no need to try and reclaim land from the sea, which is very expensive and time-consuming.
From Soil to Wealth: How One Woman is Making ₦43M/Hectare in Ginger Farming
Meet Ann
The farmer who went viral for proving what's possible:
Ginger Farming Numbers
- ₦150,000-₦180,000 per bag of ginger
- 180-240 bags harvested per hectare
- Potential ₦43 MILLION per hectare
- All in less than 12 months
Ann's Testimony
"Since January 2025, ginger sells for ₦150k-₦180k per bag like this one in my photo.
One hectare needs: 29-32 bags of seedlings (properly planted) Organic fertilizers Consistent monitoring
But the payoff? Minimum 180 bags/hectare Often reaching 240 bags!
Now tell me... why should I chase office jobs when my land can do this?"
About Farming with Ann
- Documents real farm life daily
- Inspires thousands of youth
- Proves agriculture beats 9-5
- Shows unedited struggles AND wins
At peak yields (240 bags) and prices (₦180k): ₦43.2M!
3 Harsh Truths from Ann
1. "Organic farming isn't cheap - but buyers pay 30% more"
2. "The first 3 months will test you - most quit too early"
3. "Middlemen will rob you blind if you don't know real market prices"
Why Ginger Farming Works in 2025
- Global ginger demand increasing 15% yearly
- Nigeria controls 1/3 of world supply
- Organic produce gets export premium
- Smartphones connect farmers directly to buyers
Ann's Achievements
- Building generational wealth
- Creating local jobs
- Feeding nations
- Earning in dollars
Final Words from Ann
"Farming is LIFE. But treat it like a BUSINESS - not peasant work."
To Ann - keep inspiring! Your sweat is rewriting Nigeria's agricultural story.
To YOU reading - that hectare could be yours. That ₦43M could be your testimony.
But here's the crazy part – the farmers don't know the buyers, and the buyers don't know the farmers!
Middlemen are making all the profit while farmers struggle and buyers overpay.
Here's Your Golden Opportunity
Imagine this:
- A farmer in Wudil has 500 bags of maize to sell.
- A buyer in Abuja needs 500 bags.
Right now, they'll never find each other. But what if YOU connected them?
That's where your B2B Agro-Trade Platform comes in.
How It Works (Simple Version)
1. Farmers list their produce (quantity, price, location).
2. Buyers browse, compare, and order directly.
3. You connect them with trucks for delivery.
4. You take a small fee (3-5%) per transaction.
No farms. No trucks. Just smart connections.
Why This Will Work in 2025
• Kano is West Africa's biggest grain hub – Dawanau Market alone moves thousands of tonnes weekly.
• Farmers are tired of middlemen – they want fair prices.
• Buyers want reliable suppliers – no more shady deals.
• Smartphones are everywhere – even rural farmers use WhatsApp!
• Agro-export is BOOMING – ginger, sesame, hibiscus are in high demand.
• No dominant Northern B2B platform yet – you can be first!
How You Make Money
1. Transaction fees (3-5% per deal)
2. Premium listings (₦5,000/month for top visibility)
3. Ads from seed/fertilizer companies
4. Data subscriptions (buyers pay for market trends)
Realistic Earnings
- Year 1: ₦500M trade volume → ₦15M+ in fees
- Year 2: Scale to ₦2B → ₦60M+ revenue
And the best part? You don't touch a single bag of grain!
How to Start Small & Scale
1. Begin with WhatsApp + simple website (no need for a fancy app yet).
2. Partner with local cooperatives & Dawanau traders.
3. Add logistics partners (trucks, warehouses).
4. Expand to Kaduna, Katsina, then exports (Niger, Ghana).
What Farmers & Buyers Will Say
• "I sold my onions directly to Lagos – no middlemen!"
• "Found 3 exporters in one week thanks to this platform!"
• "Saved ₦200 per bag – game changer!"
Final Advice
• Verify all users (no scammers allowed).
• Use escrow payments (safe transactions).
• Follow regulations (avoid trouble).
You're not just building an app – you're building trust, efficiency, and wealth.
So, are you ready to become the "Jumia of Farm Produce" in Northern Nigeria?
How to Make Your Maize Stovers More Nutritious for Livestock
Hello farmer friend! Let's talk about turning those leftover maize stalks into quality feed for your animals. It's easier than you think!
First Things First - Make It Digestible
- Chop stalks into small pieces (about 2-5 cm) so animals can eat them easier
- Try the urea trick: Mix 4kg urea with 60L water per 100kg stover, store airtight for 2-3 weeks
- Add some molasses (2-5kg per 100kg) to make it tastier and more energizing
Boost the Nutrition
- Mix in protein-packed legumes like lucerne or desmodium (1 part legume to 3 parts stover)
- Always provide mineral licks or salt blocks
- Consider adding protein supplements like soybean meal (0.5-1kg per animal daily)
Smart Storage Tips
- Keep your stovers dry and off the ground
- Use airtight storage for treated stovers
- Watch out for contamination from chemicals or waste
Keep an Eye on Your Animals
- Monitor weight gain and milk production
- Check manure consistency - it tells you about digestion
- Compare animals eating treated vs untreated stovers
Quick Urea Treatment How-To
1. Chop and weigh your stover
2. Mix 1kg urea with 15L water per 25kg stover
3. Sprinkle evenly and mix well
4. Seal airtight (plastic or soil cover works)
5. Wait 4-5 weeks before feeding
Remember: Not for young calves or donkeys!
See? With these simple steps, you can turn waste into valuable feed. Your animals will thank you with better health and productivity!

At 79, George hung a sign: "Broken things fixed here. Payment: tea and talk."
Neighbors scoffed. But George remembered his late wife Ruth's creed: *"Waste is a habit. Kindness is the cure."*
First came Mia, 8, with a broken toy truck. George gave it bottle-cap wheels. Then her mom needed a résumé. Soon, retirees taught skills in his buzzing garage.
Officials tried to shut it down. The town protested. They won an old firehouse - now "Ruth's Hub," where:
- Plumbers teach plumbing
- Kids learn to darn socks
- A baker trades muffins for repairs
Years later, Mia - now a robotics intern - wrote: "You taught me broken things have value. I'm building solar prosthetics."
Today, twelve towns run Fix-It Hubs. All serve tea. None take money.
When American soldiers liberated Dachau in April 1945, they encountered a world where survival had defied all logic.
Among the skeletal survivors was one man, curled in a corner, clutching a spoon with such desperation that rescuers had to gently pry it from his hands.
"It was my mother's," he explained in a whisper.
"I dug with it. Ate with it. Prayed with it."
The spoon's handle had been worn smooth - a silent testament to years of hunger, hope, and unbreakable will.
Today, that same spoon rests in a Holocaust memorial in Illinois. Not merely as an artifact of suffering, but as evidence of how ordinary objects can become vessels of extraordinary survival.

Some of you came to Kano, spent 12 months for NYSC, and went back home just to start job hunting.
What were you doing here all that time? Didn’t you see the abundance of food and produce to buy and resell?
Did you even ask the right questions?
How can you serve in a state like **Benue**—the nation’s food basket—and not tap into agriculture?
The opportunities in agriculture are endless, across every value chain. But these same opportunities are so overwhelming that they could set you up for life—enough to even become an **employer of labor.
This isn’t rocket science.
A simple food distribution business can change your life and secure your future.
If you’re a serving corps member in Nigeria, look closely at your PPA (Primary Place of Assignment).** There’s always something in **abundance** there—package it and sell it where it’s scarce. Identify problems around you and provide solutions. If God blesses your hustle and it takes off, you’ll **never** worry about unemployment after NYSC. Instead, you’ll be making money and creating jobs for others.
Oh, and speaking from experience—**I started trading agro-commodities as a corps member in Bauchi State.** I bought produce and distributed it across the country. That experience sparked my passion for agriculture, and today, that passion has grown into a thriving agro-business. I’m now an **employer of labor**, with cars, landed properties, and more. We’re not where we want to be yet, but we’re **growing, thriving, and trusting God for expansion.
**This post was inspired by my boss, Sir Tsekohol Denison.** I celebrate you, sir! ??

### **PASTOR W. F. KUMUYI’S MESSAGE TO THE CHURCHES**
I slept around 10:20 PM. Not long after lying down, I heard God calling me audibly, so I woke up. When I checked the time, it was 11:30 PM. Suddenly, I felt the urge to pray, so I left the bedroom and went to the sitting room to pray.
All of a sudden, my eyes opened, and I was in another realm. I saw an array of ladies—both young and old, very beautiful—coming from the seaside. I asked God, *“Who are these?”* He replied, *“These are marine spirits commissioned by the devil to drag many into the kingdom of darkness. His time is almost up, and he has vowed to cause many to fall.”*
I asked, *“Why women?”* He responded, *“They are not really women but evil spirits that have taken a feminine form.”*
Then I asked, *“What is their mission?”* Suddenly, I saw people having sex—some by the wayside, some in bushes, on beaches, in offices, and even in open places. I was amazed and asked, *“Why?”* God said, *“These spirits are sent to spread lust and cause many to fall into fornication.”* He added, *“Very soon, fornication will be legalized.”*
*“These spirits are meant to befriend unsuspecting young ladies, show them care, and eventually initiate them to be used by the enemy.”* I saw many young ladies being initiated, and as soon as they were, they developed an insatiable desire for sex.
I also saw sugar mummies luring young men with money and cars. After sleeping with them, the men were left empty.
### **FASHION AND DECEPTION**
I saw new dresses being introduced—dresses that expose almost all parts of the body. One very fair lady was nearly naked, with three-quarters of her breast exposed. Her dress was so transparent that her nakedness was clearly visible. Many were buying these skimpy outfits—short skirts, transparent leggings, and blouses that expose cleavage. Skin bleaching was also on the rise. Some were even pouring potions on their eyes to lure men.
*“Tell the church to watch,”* God said. *“They will try to enter the church, targeting pastors and members, especially choir members.”* I saw church members being possessed and sleeping with each other. Shockingly, I saw two choir members who were lesbians.
### **THE FALL OF PASTORS**
I saw men of God sleeping with members before mounting the pulpit. Many pastors are battling internally because there’s not just a crack but an opening in their spiritual wall—Satan has entered their lives. Some were caught in pornography and masturbation.
In one instance, I saw a pastor watching pornography and masturbating in his room. He thought he was alone, but the wall facing the public was broken, and people were watching him without his knowledge. God said, *“Whatever is done in secret is already open.”*
### **MARRIAGE AND MANIPULATION**
I saw women becoming unsubmissive and disrespectful to their husbands, frustrating them to the point where they fell prey to these spirits. Many were manipulated through food, clothes, and enchanted gifts given to pastors, gradually changing their spiritual status.
### **CHAINED BY SIN**
I saw many chains, and God said, *“These are chains of addiction that keep people in sexual bondage.”*
### **GOD’S WARNING**
*“Tell My people to stay within the boundaries of My Word. Let them not depart from them. Tell them to watch and pray. Let them be focused on Me, and this will help them avoid every distraction of the enemy.”*
### **BITTER TRUTH**
Believe it or not, accept it or not:
- You can be called a good Christian and still be deep in sin.
- You can speak in tongues and miss Heaven.
- You can win souls and miss Heaven.
- You can see visions and miss Heaven.
- You can cast out devils and miss Heaven.
- You can perform miracles and still miss Heaven.
- You can read the whole Bible and miss Heaven.
- You can attend all fellowship activities and camp meetings and miss Heaven.
- You can have anointing and miss Heaven.
- You can have all spiritual gifts and miss Heaven.
- You can wield power and unction and still miss Heaven.
**But you CANNOT live a holy life and miss Heaven.**
**HOLINESS IS THE REAL DEAL!**

If your plantains are taking too long to ripen, here’s a natural, science-backed method to speed up the process:
How It Works
1. Break a Finger – Snap one plantain in half (no need to peel it).
2. Pack It – Place the broken piece back with the rest.
3. Wait 2-3 Days – Watch as they ripen evenly!
The Science Behind It
- Ethylene Gas: A natural plant hormone that triggers ripening.
- Breaking the Skin releases extra ethylene, signaling nearby fruits to soften and sweeten faster.
- You might even notice tiny "sweat" droplets—proof the process is working!
Bonus Tips
1. Works for Bananas, Mangoes & More** – Great for fruits that ripen off the tree.
2. Safer Than Carbide – Avoid toxic artificial ripening chemicals.
3. Need Slower Ripening? Store fruits apart in a cool, dry place.
No magic—just smart science! Try it and enjoy perfectly ripe plantains every time.

1. Reduce Stress and Overcrowding
~ Too many chickens in a small space causes stress and fighting.
~ Ensure each chicken has at least 1.5 to 2 square feet of space.
2. Feed Them Properly
~ Nutrient deficiency, especially calcium, can lead to egg eating.
~ Provide feed rich in calcium like crushed oyster shells or bone meal.
3. Provide Proper Nesting Boxes
~ Offer dark, quiet, and clean nest boxes with soft bedding.
~ Avoid situations where eggs fall or roll, as broken eggs attract eating.
4. Collect Eggs Frequently
~ Don’t leave eggs in the nest for too long.
~ Collect them multiple times a day.
5. Use Fake Eggs
~ If the habit starts, place fake eggs (rubber or ceramic). Chickens will peck and get nothing, discouraging the behavior.
6. Identify and Isolate the Culprit
~ If you know the chicken doing it, isolate her or place her in a separate cage for some time.
7. Avoid Too Much Light in Nesting Areas
~ Keep nesting areas dim. Too much light encourages egg pecking.
Once chickens start egg eating, it can be hard to stop, but following these tips helps reduce or eliminate the problem.
I used to think farming was just about tilling soil, planting crops, and raising livestock. But the more I learn, the more I realize: that farming is limitless.
a. It’s also about rearing insects—like black soldier flies, crickets, or locusts for animal feed or even human consumption.
b. It’s also about growing Azolla or duckweed - tiny aquatic plants that becomes nutrient-rich feed for fish, poultry, and livestock.
c. It’s also about turning waste into wealth, transforming kitchen scraps or market leftovers into something valuable.
d. It’s also about closed-loop systems, where every element supports another.
You don’t need vast fields to farm.
A bucket, a basin, or a few containers can be the beginning of something big.
Modern farming isn’t just about land—it’s about vision, creativity, and seeing potential where others don’t.
If you’ve been holding back because you think you lack space, money, or resources—remember:
You don’t need everything to start. You just need to start with something.
