I've been posting pictures of my travels lately and the next stop is reviewing the agriculture practices of this place. Most of the food I ate there was freshly harvested.
They were the best carbs and stables I've ever had, they came fresh and tasted real good, quite different from what I eat on a daily. I didn't know food could taste so different, until I ate freshly harvested stuffs.
These guys are 80% farmers and they plant rice, yam, palm fruits, vegetables, chili and a lot of other crops, I've never seen food so cheap until I got to this place.
They reared goats, cows, lambs and different type of animals. They have big and small farmer, and they had a lot of land to make heaps for root and tuber crops.
These guys were the first to start rice planting in Nigeria, they had their localized rice that was basically healthier, although it was as sweet as the foreign types, but they were healthier and the type that the doctor would recommend.
The reasons why people would not stay here is that they do not have the amenities you'll normally find in a city area; good drinkable water, electricity, modern bathrooms and well insulated and protected houses against cold and all that.
90% of houses here are built traditionally with bathrooms externally and this isn't such a comfortable thing for a modern man. 10% of houses are modern and well built, but these actually belonged to wealthy folks who already made money in the big cities.
However this is a good place to build some good commercial and agriculture business model for someone with the cash and the ability to want to scale. Folks here would naturally live longer if they weren't born with any birth defects or developed health issues along the way, why?
Because they'll have the opportunities to eat natural food without preservatives. Although these guys are natural tobacco lovers, but they have access to the best of natural food.
Their Oranges were sweeter than honey, I found it hard not to indulge myself. With these pictures, I wanted to show their unique styles of planting, their tall trees, beautiful forest areas, and what rural living felt like.
