Why should a president (former president Buhari) advice Nigerians to go for farming? That is not good. You can see how congested people in many cities in Nigeria are. If things works rightly, you will see how what the former president said is very wrong. He even said it when herdsmen cattle were led to people's farm by the herdsmen to destroy people's crops.
It’s just how we’ve been programmed to think, that farming is the only option for Africans and Nigerians, to produce food and cash crops that would be shipped across the whole nations. Meanwhile, the world have had a shift from having to sell some ground products that takes months and some years to produce into, having to sell ideas and digitalized items.
What stops we in this part of the world from going into tech and having a technology of our own that we could sell to the world. Yeah, these crops are a necessity but, we don’t have to shift from the path the world is heading. Let them take a pause and pursue technology too.
