Yes, I answered like an automatic bot. He could see from my action, all I have engaged and still engaging myself. I wanna work at the professional level and bring professionalism into Agriculture.
I remember when I was called to introduce myself a conference, I boldly stood up and energetically said " I AM A CORPORATE FARMER".
They all smile and a young man asked "Who is a corporate farmer?. I answered him and he was amazed (that's not where am going).
I believe in one Yoruba adage which says " It is how you call something that people will help you call it" therefore, if I can openly pronounce agriculture as the profession for the professionals, I think am still on point.
It is high time we started tagging MODERNIZATION AND CIVILIZATION or I should call it TechFarmPreneur in agriculture.
You know why????????
- People will change their general prospection about agriculture and farmers.
- Teens will be reoriented and will be proud to tell everyone " I WANT TO BE CORPORATE FARMER IN THE FUTURE"
- Government will be ascertain that, agriculture is not a dumping ground for their economy failures.
- Agriculture sector will not be sympathised but view with mind of "LIFE SAVIOUR".
- It will be clearly stated that "AGRICULTURE IS A PILLAR FOR EVERY NATION".
