Can someone please tell me why more Nigerians can't do this?.. Oh i forgot, we're all waiting for oil money from ND. And even when the ND oil money isn't forthcoming, we all have Buhari to blame.

While many feel farming is beneath them! Money is not the foremost resource needed to go into Agriculture, it is knowledge. There are threads where Nigerians are using used sacks and unused spaces to grow cucumbers, harvesting fresh looking produce!

Kudos to this lady.
I am a graduate running a restaurant business and people around me are thinking I have lost my senses because l resigned from a company where I worked.
There is nothing that gives you pleasure like being your own boss, totally in control of everything.

Most Nigerians want to get rich the easy way, while some believe without an 8 to 5 job they can't make it in life

Think out of the box, just imagine Linda Ikeji or even seun doing an 8 to 5 lol

Boy, did u read where it was written that "she owns several acres of land" which cost Millions of Naira

The summary of my talk is that she was rich/wealthy enough before cum-ng into the country just like the Jewish/Israeli millionaires farmers farming in Kwara state


Note: She is not POOOOOR abeg so u guys should not equate her with Nigerians suffering or looking for white-collar jobs abeeeeeg
