"Acting gave me fame, but agriculture gave me fulfilment. I used to act in films, playing different roles. But I walked away because I found something deeper—something that fills my heart every single day.

The film industry couldn’t sustain me for long. But farming—planting yam, raising chickens, growing ginger, pepper, and cereals—has given me more than I ever dreamed of. It feeds my soul, not just my stomach.

I went into farming because I wanted to fight hunger, not only in my home but in my community. And now, I see agriculture not just as a job but as the future of our nation. It’s the one way we can build wealth without waiting for handouts. The soil rewards hard work. It never cheats.

So, to every young person, I say: don’t be ashamed to get your hands dirty. Farming is not old-fashioned. It’s powerful. It’s freedom. It’s how we grow ourselves and our country—one harvest at a time".

Good morning

If You Earn 10k Day, You'll Die Without Becoming a Billionaire.

Yes, I'm talking to you.
And I'm not saying this to discourage you.
I'm saying this to wake you up.

Because the math doesn't lie.
10k a day is 300k a month.
That's 3.6M a year.

And to become a billionaire?
You need 1M.

Do the math:
1M ÷ 10k = 100k days.
Do you know what that's?

274 years.
Yes, two hundred and seventy-four years. That's more than four lifetimes.

And that's if you never spend a single franc.
Which is obviously impossible.

So ask yourself the right questions:

Do you want a big house?
A dream car?
To provide a good life for your parents?
To travel?
Send your children to the best schools?

Then 10k a day" will never be enough.
Even with all the sweat in the world.

Because the problem isn't your job.
It's your role model.

You can't get rich by working hard alone.

You have to learn to make your money work for you.
You have to invest.
You have to multiply your sources of income.

Your salary, your business, or your farming activity...
It's just a starting point.
Not an end goal.

It's not the amount that matters,
It's what you do with it.

Wake up while you still can.

Life expectancy in Cameroon is about 60 years.
Not 274.
You don't have enough time to waste your energy on a single income.

You need to think strategically.
You need to build assets.
You need to learn to break free from the "earn-spend" trap.

Even small, even slow,
But with vision and intention.

Here's what you need to start doing right now:

Put a percentage of what you earn aside
Learn to invest — in things you understand
Create a second income (small business, resale, land, digital, agriculture, etc.)
Read, educate yourself, open your mind to models that work
Avoid unnecessary expenses that drain you without elevating you

You don't have to become a billionaire.
But you do have to break out of the system that impoverishes you.

You're young.
You're capable.
But you have to think like a builder,
Not like a survivor.

The world doesn't reward the most tired.
It rewards the most strategic.

Well , it's up to you, eh... Bro

Anyway. Good luck

PEACE ✌🏿

We are Making Farming More Sexy To Youths.

Tinubu launches 2000 tractors, says 'we’re making farming more sexy to youths '... #Aidee #News

Farming is life

I smile when I see people that believe dairy is the problem .
Dairy isn't the problem.
Your Milk Is Just Rubbish”
Let’s be honest…
You didn’t cancel dairy because it hurt you.
You cancelled it because the wellness police told you it was toxic.
So you jumped to almond juice and oat-flavoured sugar water and called it health.
Real dairy is ancestral nutrition.
Not supermarket poison.
Full-fat milk from grass-fed cows balances hormones.
Raw cheese is gut therapy rich in K2, calcium, and life.
Fermented milk (like kefir) builds a warrior gut.
But instead of that, you're sipping...
Shelf-stable milk that’s been boiled to death.
"Low-fat" milk that’s stripped of every hormone-loving nutrient.
Powdered milk that’s older than your pastor’s Bible.
Stop generalizing them.
Dairy didn’t betray you.
Factory farming did.
Ultra-processing did.
Nutrition-by-fear did.
Your grandma was drinking raw milk, pounding yam, walking barefoot in the sun and glowing at 70 with zero supplements or oat milk nonsense.
Get raw, grass-fed milk if you can.
Try fermented dairy (kefir), raw yogurt especially if lactose bothers you.
Ditch the low-fat lie. The fat is the medicine.
Add cinnamon, turmeric, or ginger for digestion power.
It’s not the cow. It’s the corruption.
And oh, the milk we have in Nigeria is mostly soy lecithin.

Chinese desert control technologies are helping Mauritania's green efforts with a 4-hectare park consisting of a sand-blocking buffer zone and farming areas completed last July.

The demonstration park is part of the China-Africa Green Technology Park, a key demonstration project supporting Africa's Great Green Wall Initiative, which was launched in 2007 to create a 7,000-km ecological barrier across northern Africa and the Sahel to combat desertification.

The World Loves to Hate, Then Copy, Then Hate Again

The sweet taste of success! It's like a delicious cake that everyone wants a slice of, but only after you've baked it and proven it's edible. You know, that moment when everyone's like, "Oh, you're so lucky!" or "You're so talented!" But what they won't say is, "I was wrong to doubt you."

Let's face it, folks! When you choose a path that's unconventional, a career or business that raises eyebrows, people will think you're crazy. They'll whisper behind your back, "What is wrong with this one?" or "Has this person gone mad?" But you know what? That's when the magic happens.

You see, when you're brave enough to take the road less traveled, you'll encounter two types of people: the Haters and the Copycats. The Haters will, well, hate. They'll mock, ridicule, and predict your downfall. But the Copycats... ah, they're a special breed.

At first, they'll pretend they're not interested in what you're doing. They'll scoff, roll their eyes, and mutter under their breath. But secretly, they'll be watching, studying, and taking notes. They'll try to reverse-engineer your success, to figure out what makes you tick. And when they think they've cracked the code, they'll start copying you.

But here's the thing: when they copy you and fail (and they will fail, because they didn't put in the work or understand the vision), they'll start spoiling your name. They'll claim you're a fluke, that you're not as smart or talented as everyone thought. They'll try to bring you down, to make you feel like you're not good enough.

BUT (and this is a big BUT), you mustn't let them get to you! You mustn't let their hate or their copying bring you down. Why? Because you're a trailblazer, a pioneer, a game-changer! You're the one who dared to be different, who refused to follow the crowd.

So, when the Haters hate and the Copycats copy, just smile, nod, and keep on keeping on. Remember, success is not about what others think of you; it's about what you think of yourself. And if you believe in yourself, your vision, and your abilities, then nothing can stop you.

Kniw this, choosing your path and achieving success is not for the faint of heart. There will be doubters, haters, and copycats along the way. But if you stay focused, stay true to yourself, and keep pushing forward, you'll prove them all wrong. And when you do, just enjoy the sweet taste of success, knowing that you earned it, and you deserve it.
