The greatest need of a fresh graduate is – bed, bread and bandwidth; you can’t fulfil purpose when you do not have these, it is the fundamental for living.
Why do we do what we do how we do it?
A few believe to cut off a lot to maximize profit, but I have different thought!
We cannot keep screaming for a better country, asking for better policies for agriculture and hope it will happen. The reality is – government isn’t someone’s name, too many people carry briefcases trying to direct policies.
Practicing farmers need to test the policies we wish to see on a microscale, have data and then have it to show how things should be.
I believe the prophecy on a nation cannot be fulfilled until we have policies that align with the prophecies.
Destiny and purpose are God’s intent, but it will come to naught without human participation. We must be willing to take responsibility to do that which we must do!
Agriculture for me is a way to play a role, have a set of data that will maybe one day be used in the larger conversation to help re-evaluate policies to ensure the destiny of Nigeria is fulfilled.
For now, the future of the country isn’t guaranteed if all we do is point out what is not working, the ultimate conversation should be –what am I taking responsibility for? For everything that is not working in the nation is a job opportunity for whomever can fix it.
Be responsible
I know you can do it, whatever you don’t do – will remain undone.
What do I know? I am just a farmer!

5 年"Destiny and purpose are God’s intent, but it will come to naught without human participation." very well said, Samson! Compatible with Paul in?Ephesians 2:10, the keyword is "to do".

5 年This is one of the most succinct post I have come across on linkedin pertaining to our challenges as a people. We need people who will pick on any of the numerous challenges facing us, develop a simple but unique solution, take time to develop the necessary knowledge, character and competence to succeed, then upscale rapidly. #theawakeningisbeginning
