Segun Adegoke aged 27, who grew up with his grandmother described her as a farmer and a trader who took him through the rubrics of farming and trading. Adegoke said he never expected the farming skills being infused into him by his grandmother would help his financial status.
“I really want to appreciate and laud my grandmother who raised me while I was growing up, infusing the skills of farming into me as a young boy at ten years old. My grandmother was a resourceful and hardworking farmer and a trader who was superb in teaching the techniques of farming in order to achieve the highest yield” Adegoke said.
He said growing up, his grandmother always insisted that he goes to the farm with her in order to help with some things. He said he always saw it as a punishment and unnecessary because he felt he should be with his friends playing. Adegoke grew up to become a young man who loves farming that turned him into a millionaire today.
Talking about the job situation, he enjoined his fellow youths to jettison white-collar jobs and research through farm produce, focus on them, invest and expect the unbelievable financial breakthrough in their lives even as everything seems tight to the economic recession. He further explained that food will forever be consumed regardless of the state of the economy, which is the beauty of agriculture.
