Securing farmland in Nigeria

Many people in his comment section told him how getting a security camera would not be the fix-all solution to all his farm challenges.

While some asked him to go spiritual, others said that he should install a bell to scare any trespassing movement on the property.

Apart from stealing his plantain, the man said that they also carted his generator used on the farm.

Pig farmer making millions of naira

Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG earlier reported that a Nigerian man, Dr Bakaida, who was into livestock farming said his pig farm fetches him N30 million monthly. He made this known in a video interview he granted to a roving storyteller, Lucky Udu, who visited his pig farm.

The man said he kicked off the pig farm in 2016 with a capital of N270,000, but it has grown in leaps and bounds.
