In 2017, I traveled to China to source automated agricultural equipment for a commercial farming project. My focus was on battery cages, feed milling systems, and silos.
After a week of visiting different Manufacturers and Factories I couldn’t find a Battery Cage System that wasn’t Power dependent- They entire world was using Fully Automated Battery Cage System.
One young CEO became genuinely frustrated with me when I told him-His Automated Battery Cages (with sensors and temperature regulators) wouldn’t work for me because I didn’t have Electricity.
When I explained that reliable electricity was not available in Nigeria, he thought I was exaggerating. To him, uninterrupted power was such a basic requirement for business that the absence of it seemed impossible.
He asked, “How do Survive”? So I showed him on Baidu and he genuinely felt sorry for me.
Even my translator, Cherry, struggled to understand what I meant. We eventually had to research it online before she accepted that a country of over 200 million people could have such a fundamental infrastructure gap.
After further investigation, she helped us locate a manufacturer in Henan Province that produced semi-automated systems specifically for African markets—equipment designed to operate despite unreliable power supply.
Nine years later, the situation remains largely unchanged.
I still do not have Electricity in any farm I own or have helped develop.

Funny how we didn’t see these takes when Trump spoke on Christians killed in Nigeria. Then, the sermon was "unity by race, not religion." Now the script has completely inverted to "unity by religion, not race."
