Lessons learned: 1. Water access 2. Location & Site accessibility/transportation 3. Farm Manager 4. Land Clearing (manual vs mechanical) 5. Total Production cost/analysis 6. Self Sustainability (using low cost alternatives) 7. Timing/Scheduling of activities 8. Focus on the details around the final objectives (the End Game) 9. Pest Invasion (unforeseen) 10. Micromanaging the details (a Nigerian factor 😊)

GREAT summary :)

Thank you

You are the man! Number 1, 3 and 10 really rock my boat. I just completed a building project in Nigeria and my God did I relate to those 3 items the most. My wife documented all the challenges and she plans to share with anyone one else we know that would be doing building projects in Nigeria. Watching your video is like listening to all the challenges we encounter during our project. She narrates the same issues daily to me. By the way she was the one that managed the daily process of the project all the way from US. I gave up on the project after the 3rd month, but she saw it through and I am grateful for her tenacity and focus on the end goal.

[@patisong4927]

Hello Mr Bayo,,, I am currently trying to start my farm business around ogijo ... please I need more light

[@africainvesther2.0]

Yeah that KYC is so important to better inform your end game. I would also say for people who find this project attractive. I think partnership is smarter (I.e farm associations) there are more than enough producers in Nigeria. Finally I think the other thing to note is don’t be afraid to TAKE YOUR TIME. There is so much to figure out because the system is complex. Great video Bayo.

[@melrosebrowne-morgan9330]

I totally agree about micromanagement. I learnt that lesson the hard way while trying to be an absentee farmer. Living in UK and farming in Sierra Leone

[@thenigeriannomad]

Yes oooh. its impossible.

[@johnsonolajide4647]

Thank you for this important information. I really enjoyed it and I have learnt a lot from your experiences. Now I'm waiting for the part two. I'm a Nigerian living in Australia and I want to relocate from Australia to Tanzania or Rwanda before end of this year. I'm scare to relocate to Nigeria because of high level of insecurity in Nigeria. Thank you my brother Bayo 👍👌💯🙏

[@thenigeriannomad]

oooh you are very welcome :) Stay tuned for part two tomorrow. Also, Good luck on your journey to Africa. That's awesome! :)

[@colorfunch]

Just curious, Why Tanzania or Rwanda? I have the same concerns too about Nigeria security and currently looking for alternatives.

[@johnsonolajide4647]

@@colorfunch What I mean by Tanzania or Rwanda? I said I will relocate from Australia to Tanzania or Rwanda this year. That means I will relocate to one the two countries. I hope you'll understand me very well now. Thank you.

[@kayodebejide2181]

Nigeria is safer, my small boy advice sir.

[@braveheart8318]

Tanzania isn't business-friendly and has too much bureaucracy. Foreigners can't own any land. Rwanda is clean and efficient but too small.

[@Varsiti_Homes]

This is very educative Mr Bayo. Can you do a series on Real Estate Investing, development and consulting/marketing. Will really appreciate to hear from you. Thank you.

Thanks Bayo, very insightful lessons learned. I think my biggest issue with the poultry business I did was failing to micromanage and then taking time to train the farm manager. I am about to start crop farming and will definitely do a checklist of these lessons learned.
