Nigerian Comic Nollywood actor, Victor Osuagwu has hinted Nigerian youth on what to do if they never want to lack money or food in their stay on earth. Victor has urge Nigerian to embrace agriculture as it is the only job that pays till one dies.
Osuagwu spoke at the African Farmers and Cultural Organisation (AFCO) event, tagged ‘Job Creation/Empowerment for Unemployed’ held last Friday at Zion Event Hall Isolo, Lagos.
The actor also advice the government to invest and expand the agricultural sector so as to help create more employment and also make the sector attractive so as the youths may indulge in it.
“They should not neglect farming the way they do to entertainment industry which has more than 10 million employees. They shouldn’t allow farmers to die in suffering. “If you go to Europe, a lot of people are farming and that is why they don’t lack food. They have varieties of farm foods to eat but the case here in Nigeria is different. Everybody wants to work in a bank or Oil Company and the other areas are being neglected.
So, I give kudos to AFCO empowerment initiative in partnership with federal government to improve agricultural production. I’m planning to expand so as to start exporting outside Nigeria that is the reason I’m here today and I learned a lot from this programme. What I do now is that I give it out to people. I don’t buy bags of rice for people.”
Well many may be against this opinion but the truth be told farming pays if you have adequate implements, equipment and man-power to carry it out.
