Recent Economic situation in Nigeria

Nigerians present economy has left me thinking where this world is heading to.
When I was a child things were better off than these, at least we were able to eat and be satisfied, children were healthy and sickness was not all that rampant , malnutrition lead's to too much deficiency a vital vitamin that keeps one healthy.

In those days, white collar jobs was the greatest pursuit of many people because agriculture was regarded as the profession of the poor hence only few venture into agriculture but even at that, we still had enough from few who engaged into agro_farming because the harvest was always very good and the prices of each product was always affordable, as in things were very cheap. Imagine selling rice at #20 .00 per cup and garri 10 cups at # 100 . 00 and even the cups used in measuring those items were good no adjustment no cheating. Things were easy and because feeding was not hard or difficult parents were able to give birth to twelve or even more children.

Now what has happen to us ? Why are we going backwards? Why are things so hard and even the rich also cry! Both adults and children are lamenting because of the way things are, a normal square meal is hard to eat let alone eating a balance diet. Most people are no more talking about balance diet they just want to eat just to satisfy the worms in their stomach. Now here comes the solution to mankind's problem which is AGRICULTURE.

Agriculture although many neglect it has now become the solution to most people because even those who did not regard agriculture as anything or as a profession of the poor are now venturing into planting, even the Government has now develop more resources into agriculture just to reduce the hunger in the land. In schools, agricultural science is now a very important subject and is compulsory for all the students. As an agricultural science teacher, I teach with practicals, although not all the students love going to school farm for practicals but I need to let them know the importance of planting and also different types of crops we need to plant at a particular season.

Since garri is very expensive, planting cassava is very important now that is why we really engaged in mono -cropping or sole cropping and also teaching students how to plant and showing them how to fix the stems correctly so as to aid in fastening the germination

In conclusion,

Agriculture has now become the most important source of mankind's solution. So we need to work hard. Cultivate good varieties of crops so that we can have much products
