How Young Boys from Northern Nigeria Make Millions From Vegetables

[@emmanuelogazi3829]

Only lazy youths will complain, Nigeria is a land of opportunities.

[@estherodanga4238]

Former President said it and some of us insulted him. Most people are lazy. Opportunities abound.

[@emmanuelogazi3829]

@estherodanga4238 you are right. Everybody wants white collar jobs, but economies were built by hardworking blue-collar men like Samsung, Honda, etc. We graduate people from engineering, yet we import refrigerators, TV, mobile phones etc.

[@rachelcelinejohnson9232]

@Emmanuelogazi ,God bless you

[@osi5838]

The best way for the government to help these farmers is for them to provide rail tracks with refrigerated wagons and stations to all the farming communities to help move their produce to the cities, this way encouraging the loval economy.

[@truethots3088]

How can that happen with evil thieves in power

[@S.jega94]

I’m a northern Nigerian but grew up in in london, I enjoyed this so much I even subscribed to your channel, I listened to so many negative things people say about northern nigeria and coming from an igbo person putting this amazing video together I really appreciate you brother! I’m a payment consultant and I really do intend to invest in the financial sector within the business industries in Nigeria especially within those rural areas. This video really inspired me and gave me hope! Thank you 🙏

Generally All Nigerians are Traders/ Business people. All we need is just good governance, infrastructure( constant Power, good road networks), Security, easy access to Capital etc...

[@hawthorne3889]

You're asking for a lot there. Remember we're talking about Nigeria here. Good governance in the same sentence as Nigeria, is practically laughable.

if nigeria roads were good, safe, security light on highways... i go get confirm trucks with refrigerators from Netherland, then myself return to nigeria and buy and sell tomato in major southern states... god see opportunity.

We were told in Lagos that tomato crop failed a few weeks ago! The prices are outrageous (triple the price). See the Sea of tomatoes. Someone is running a racket

The prices are up everywhere for both tomatoesand big red peppers. Even here in Abuja, the prices are pretty high. The minimum price is like 500 naira for about 10-15 pieces of tomatoes.

Another great video from a patriotic Nigerian. Nigerian ministry of culture and tourism should invest in your projects because you show case the country and this video is very good for business. It will add value to Nigerians. Good roads and stable electricity is extremely important for commerce and industry in Nigeria. The rural economy will benefits greatly if the government watch this video and learn about the challenges of the citizens and how best to help these hardworking citizens. The money embezzled by this ne state governor alone will solve the problems of these guys across 4 local governments at least. God bless you brother. God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬♥️✊🏽

Those tomatoes should not be left under the sun. If left under the sun it ripens quickly. It needs a cooler environment and possibly packaging in cardbox boxes helps. Dousing with cold water also helps

They have started tomato canning factories in both Plateau and Kaduna states but because of sectarian violence and now banditry those operations shut down. Nasiru Sani is a good speaker. He speaks with enough volume and speaks clearly. He expresses himself well. 👏

[@revivalfirecycle3278]

Pls correct this title Plateau state is Middle-belt Nigeria or Central Nigeria not Northern Nigeria

[@aisha6410]

The classification of Plateau State as part of the north in Nigeria is a general categorization based on geographical, cultural, and administrative considerations. It's technically north central, since north, east, and south are determined by the existing division created by the Niger River, which Nigeria (the Niger Area) takes its name from. Plateau State also has significant cultural and historical ties with the northern region of Nigeria. It is home to various ethnic groups, including the Berom, Afizere, Tarok, and others, which are predominantly found in northern Nigeria. These ethnic groups share linguistic, religious, and cultural similarities with the northern communities.

I very happy to see young people, utilizing their strength instead of sitting down bring lazy if you don’t work you un able to sustain your self and your families. This tomato’s and potatoes farms are reaping all these will happen to all these tomatoes, potatoes and all these other ground products. If they don’t sell They use the tomatoes to make sauces the potatoes to make many natures things like potatoes chips power potatoes instead of wasting them to help feed their country. Look how Nigeria 🇳🇬 is so rich in these rich products all natural why don’t the government don’t help and support them to export their products into the North America 🇺🇸 market. Because their products is more natural than all these things that is coming from China. Because the North American believe only China alone can produce these product. If the government helps these young farmers it can help them to get out of poverty and give them sustainability to help build the country for the future generations. Keep striving

[@Bv3276]

North Americans do not only believe that China can produce. The big businesses and governments keep buying from China. Not us. We would love to support Africa but most of these type of vendors do not ship produce to us. What can we do? 😢😮‍💨

Hardworking farmers and bountiful harvest. The value chain will expand if these agricultural products are processed and packaged/canned. Lots of wastage due to long haulage and logistics issues.

[@emmanuelogazi3829]

Someone can move to the farms with their mobile grinding machines and jet cookers, grind it and cook to concentrate, pour vegetable oil on top, and then supply to the markets in the south or far north. We used to buy cheap during harvest and preserve our tomatoes all year round.

In other to preserve the tomatoes they can just slice the tomatoes in half, put salt on it, ans let it dry under the sun for 10 days. That is how italian grand mas do. So simple! They can also can it and then pasteurize it. It is not a complicated technology. Its just lack of information !
