My 5th LID Report.

I surfaced again this evening.
In my last post, my reason for not telling to apple girl about steemit was because I was going somewhere.
I was going to visit my "second" mother. I have many mothers oh.
I couldn't believe that two and half cups of garri is #200.00. Garri that is considered to be the commonest commodity. It was today that I heard it. Imagine a family where you have four boys (22, 20, 18, & 16yrs.)and one girl (12yrs.) with their parents and garri in on the menu, they will spend almost #800 or on garri alone without soup. This is just one meal alone.
It is no wonder so many people are considering farming. Just like the family I visited today. They are diversifying as seen in the picture below.

They want to process the cassava and get the garri by themselves because some of the so-called garri in the market are nothing to talk about. The method of preserving or storing this garri in the market too posses a real treat to human life. Although there is stress in farming but in reality the benefits outweighs whatever stress experienced.
For me, I will advise everybody that have an empty space or an undeveloped plot of land, to start one form of farming or the other. There are many things one can farm, some are not as stressful as others. Even the stressful ones can be shared to reduce the stress from being on one person alone. For example, if you plant cassava and do not want to stress yourself in processing it to get garri, you can self the cassava raw to someone who will process the garri and you buy back garri from the person. I feel it's high time we go back to farm!
At this point I say good night to everybody but please give thought to going back to farm.
