If you aren't yet considering planting or processing this seed, perhaps you should start!

The processed seeds will produce husks (for animal feed, power generation, etc), oil (for both industrial use and export) and mash (for animal feed) , while the leaves are a nutritious vegetable which can be dried and powdered for human and animal consumption.
A huge gap exists in processing that needs exploiting

See ehn!

Marriage is a long distance journey

Its not a race, & it certainly isn't a competition between any of us

When running a long distance race, the rules that apply to short distances no longer apply

You are going to live with someone who will know every detail about you
See those "ojoro" that athletes do in sprint races, and is usually called "false start", or "jumping the gun"?

Nobody has time for such people when it comes to marathons

This because in a marathon, your initial "gra gra" is not what will help you cross the finish line!
Running a marathon means you need to run at a pace you are comfortable with.

You need to get used to conserving oxygen for hours on end, while taxing your body to the limit

Your body needs to be relaxed while maintaining an even speed with your posse of fellow runners

There's so much lack of understanding of agriculture on this TL that it makes one alarmed

What people need to understand about it is that every crop harvested and processed produces byproducts that are equal in to 3 or 4 times the value of the crop itself

And so, for example
Processed rice will give husks, bran, and fibres which are useful for several additives in animal feed, power generation, and other industrial uses, apart from the rice itself which we consume as a staple and as baby food

Processed maize, soybean, cassava, etc will give several
by-products like starch, ethanol, animal feed, and others in addition to the regular products we expect from the crops.

Cotton and palm oil will produce so many products from processing, that several seperate outputs we buy like brake pads, soap, Carboxymethyl cellulose, etc

Fabrication is very costly in Nigeria because we have too few welders in our economy.

We need a programme that trains and produces welders the way we produce hairdressers, tailors, and bakers
More importantly, we need programmes that help our youth to combine several disciplines to produce the equipment which our economy needs to grow

Eg. Welders & carpenters should have basic knowledge of electric motors & how they work in order to produce low cost equipment for all
We need to get used to using modern tools for our fabrication works.

Motorized screwdrivers, drills, jig & rotary saws, etc should be commonplace with our woodworkers,

while knowhow to build power generators and other engines from scratch should be widespread
