Topic: Taking Exception to Poverty, through small scale Agricultural project we could do.

Today's reality of unemployment or under- employment can no longer be ignored! Once cherished university graduates, now litter the streets like street-urchins begging for a source of livelihood. No apology to our rotten educational system that mass-produce graduates, whose areas of discipline are not so needed, or those who are needed but not so useful, due to the poor quality of education shunned out to them.

Added to it, is a vision-less Government whose despicable attitude and poor policy, frustrates the very little who puts wisdom and will to make the land green. Perhaps, most worrisome is the endemic poverty now created into one of the World's potentially
Rich economy! This poverty provides the template that all other vices develop on.

Already, the attendant corruption, commotion and confusion have re-defined our specie as different from other Homo sapiens, with no good expected from the people of the Niger area. As a generation, born into the disorderliness, our ultimate task is to change the present situation and reposition our country's future from all facets, politically, culturally, spiritually, economically and so on. But the first shot is to re-educate ourselves with that which is needed, and thereby taking exception to Poverty!

We shall be discussing next, small scale Agricultural projects that can guarantee you the control of your life.

To be continued!!!
