I know a guy that wants to enter agriculture.
Every week he attends webinars.
He saves farming videos.
He knows the price of tractors in dollars.
He has a business plan.
He has a logo.
But he has never planted one seed.
Meanwhile, one old woman in his village has been planting maize for 30 years.
She cannot explain "value chain."
She doesn't know "agritech."
She has never attended a conference.
But every rainy season, she plants.
Every harvest, she sells.
Every year, she starts again.
And that's when I realized one hard truth about Nigerian agriculture:
Many of us love the idea of agriculture more than the work of agriculture.
We love the drone videos.
The greenhouse pictures.
The conferences.
The captions:
"Feeding the nation."
But agriculture no dey hear motivational speaker.
The soil doesn't care about your LinkedIn post.
Tomatoes don't grow because your bio says "Agripreneur."
You must show up.
The funny thing is that farming is probably the only industry where nature can embarrass your plans.
You can have money and still fail.
You can have degrees and still fail.
You can have followers and still fail.
Then one farmer that nobody knows will quietly harvest and move on.
Sometimes I think the reason many people leave agriculture is not because it isn't profitable.
It's because agriculture humbles people.
It teaches patience in a country that wants quick results.
It teaches seasons in a country that wants speed.
It teaches consistency in a generation that celebrates announcements more than execution.
Maybe the hardest truth is this:
Nigerian agriculture does not need more people talking about farming.
It needs more people willing to stay long enough to understand it.

The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in which you first find yourself.
Never allow circumstances to detour you or stop you! In adversity we learn, in accomplishments we rejoice!
Environment and surroundings change but purpose remains the same!
You listen to Theophilus Sunday and you feel like praying more.
You listen to Cardi B and you feel like being sexually liberal with your body.
You listen to Quavo and you feel like living sexually liberal.
You’ve just listened to three different priests.
They all have different altars. And they are evangelists for different spirits.
The first singer sings the nature of the Spirit that rules his life onto you.
So you feel like knowing Him more by praying.
The second and third ones sing the nature of the spirit of Babylon to you.
So you feel like being like it through sexual immorality.
The songs you listen to would make the doctrine of the spirit that sponsors them become richer in you.
This was why we Paul asked the Ephesians to let the word of God dwell richly in themselves through singing of hymns and psalms.
Which songs are you listening to? What is it doing to your spirit?
Stop songs that are not of God today. Feel yourselves with songs of the Spirit.

@dvorahfr@imagine Very nice! Well done ma'am.
I've also really been enjoying Agent Mode; has definitely helped with creating longer-format stories (went to ~3:30 with this one over the weekend): https://t.co/ugMIGHMwfR
