[The Nigerian Farmer @Naija_farmers]

I Abandoned a 25-Hectare Cassava Project Because of One Threat...

Many people see successful farmers today and think the journey is always smooth.
They don't know about the opportunities that were lost, not because of laziness or lack of knowledge, but because of insecurity.

A few years ago, I got the opportunity to manage a 25-hectare cassava project inside Ogene Forest.
The deal was sweet.

We were going to produce cassava for supply to a major chemical company in Jamata ( Unicane chemical industry company limited)for dry peeled cassava processing.

My salary had already been agreed upon ... ₦300,000 monthly.
Transportation? Sorted.
Medicals? Sorted.
Security? Sorted.
And as if that wasn't enough, I was also entitled to 5% of the project's profit.

For a young man passionate about agriculture, that was a life-changing opportunity.
We had already started preparations.
Herbicides had been purchased.
Plans had been drawn.

The land was being cleared.
Everything was moving according to schedule.
But there was one problem.

One notorious herdsman known as Ligah.
The moment news of the project reached him, the threats started.
At first, I believed dialogue could solve the problem.

I tried reaching him through the Paramount Ruler of the land, hoping peace could be brokered.
I couldn't get access.

Then I tried reaching out through a friend who was a secretary in the MACBAN association.
Still, it didn't work.

The warnings continued.
Every day the atmosphere became more tense.
Then came the day that changed everything.

In the middle of the afternoon, my mother received a phone call.

The caller's message was short but terrifying:

"Tell your big-headed son to stay away from Ogene Forest, or you will bury him."

My mother called me immediately.

The moment she repeated those words, all the confidence I had vanished.

I sat quietly and asked myself:
What is the value of money if I'm not alive to enjoy it?
A salary of ₦300,000.
Medical benefits.
Transportation.
Security.
And 5% of the profit.

Yet none of it was worth more than my life.
That day, I made one of the hardest decisions of my career.

I aborted the mission.
The project died.
The opportunity died.
The dream died.

Not because we lacked capital.
Not because we lacked knowledge.
Not because the land was not fertile.
But because insecurity defeated investment.

This is the painful reality many young Nigerians face today.
People keep asking why youths are not rushing into agriculture.
The answer is simple.

Many are willing to work hard.
Many are willing to take financial risks.
But very few are willing to risk being buried for trying to farm.

Every abandoned farm is a lost job.
Every frightened farmer is a threat to food security.
Every investor chased away by insecurity is a setback for rural development.
Nigeria can feed itself.
Nigeria can become an agricultural giant.

But no farm can thrive where fear is stronger than hope.
Looking back today, I feel the pain of what could have been.
But I also thank God for preserving my life.
Because sometimes, the greatest harvest is not the money you make.

It's the life you still have.

The attached picture was taken during the land-clearing stage of the Ogene Forest project before the mission was eventually aborted.

A new report from the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) confirms Fulani militants caused more deaths than Boko Haram or ISIS over the past year by mostly targeting Christian farming communities in Nigeria. - Fox News

Fulani militants killed more people in Nigeria over the past year than Boko Haram or ISIS. Innocent Christians are bearing the brunt of this violent persecution.

America is a Christian nation. We must continue to stand with those who are persecuted for their faith and hold these terrorists accountable. - Rep. Riley Moore

Me: I prayed fervently for action right in front of the Washington monument, and I believe that action is beginning to take root. Eternally grateful for the Presidency of @POTUS and the great team he’s put together to look into the Nigerian situation - @RepRileyMoore and co.

We shall overcome.

Governor Umo Eno is wonderful,
A company called WetBlend is constructing a $15 billion fertilizer plant in Akwa ibom state.

Location; liberty free trade zone, Eastern Obolo.
If Akwa ibom wasn't conducive, this would not have been possible....Job is coming
