In simple terms, here are some of the #five trends for the future of farm mechanization.

In 2007, I visited my old friend who has been living in the rural area ever since his parents passed away.

The strange part? He told me to stay away from the old mango tree behind his house at night.

As kids, we used to play under that tree, but now he said, “It’s not safe anymore.”

I laughed it off. Big mistake….
That evening, we sat by the fire talking about childhood memories.

My friend seemed tense, but I didn’t take it seriously.

He kept looking at the mango tree, like he was expecting something to happen.

When I asked him why he was so worried, he just shook his head and said, “You’ll see….
Later that night, I decided to check out the tree myself.

It was pitch dark, and the only light I had was from my flashlight.

As I got closer, I felt the air get colder.

I didn’t hear any animals or insects. It was so quiet, it made me feel uneasy…

A few minutes ago, I finished reading about Africa's expanding infrastructure.

It’s hard to imagine that in just a few decades, roads, railways, ports, and airports will link every corner of the continent.

With over 1,200 km of the Algeria East-West Highway and 4,500 km connecting Lagos to Mombasa, Africa is on the move…..Image
The transformation is visible, and the changes are undeniable.

Just look at the Abuja-Kaduna railway in Nigeria, which is already improving access and mobility.

This isn’t just about bricks and mortar; it’s about creating opportunities, creating jobs, and moving Africa into the future.
You might think Europe or Asia is leading the way in infrastructure, but that’s changing.

Africa is catching up, with countries investing in projects that connect nations like never before.

The goal is clear: to bring people and goods together, to grow economies, and build strong relationships across borders.

Yesterday marked the last time I bought vegetables from the woman who sells them near my house.

For months, I’d been paying a premium price, around a third of my monthly income, hoping it would help her grow her small business.

She always assured me that her produce was fresh and chemical-free…
I convinced myself that paying more than the market price was a good decision, as I wanted to support a local seller and help her farm expand.

Her vegetables were always fresh, and I thought that my contribution would make a difference.

I regularly bought from her, feeling good about it…
One day, I sent her money for an order, and she promised that everything would be delivered within a week.

A week later, her daughter, about 15 years old, showed up at my door with the basket of vegetables.

I greeted her and took the goods, thinking everything was as usual…

Yesterday, I read a story about Ghana’s first president, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, and how he was overthrown.

When it happened, people in the streets of Accra were celebrating.

But Nkrumah, watching from the side, didn’t understand.

He asked, “Why are they so happy? Shouldn’t they be sad?”
His close friend, who had traveled with him on many journeys, gave him an answer that shocked him.

“Mr. President, your people were expecting milk, but you were busy building factories.

Emmanuel Kotoka will provide them milk.” Nkrumah was surprised and replied, “Is that all they wanted?”…
Nkrumah, deeply troubled, said, “I thought we were building a future together.

If I knew they wanted milk, I would have planted milk taps in their homes.”

His friend looked at him, realizing that Nkrumah had misunderstood what the people needed the most…

The owner of the farm I rented is always showing up unannounced whenever we are harvesting.

He takes whatever he wants like it’s his right.

Last week, he harvested over 50kg of my peppers, French beans, and tomatoes.

For Christmas, he said. No permission. No payment.
If the irrigation pipe breaks, I fix it. If weeds invade, I’m the one clearing them.

If the fence falls, guess who puts it back up? Me.

And yet, he has five hectares of his own land right there, untouched!

Honestly, it feels like I rented the farm and a surprise guest.
His farm, I must admit, is one of the most amazing farms I’ve ever seen.

It’s near a beautiful stream, surrounded by a small forest, with the most fertile soil you could ask for.

But no matter how stunning his farm is, he always seems more interested in my crops than his own.

He’s always there when we’re harvesting, as if he’s monitoring his farm

Let me tell you about the time I lost my job after just 4 months in 2018.

I had just been hired by a local NGO, and my boss, a charming lady named Sarah, was from USA.

Now, Sarah was not just a boss; she was a "support system," helping me pay bills and even sending money home to my parents….
It didn’t take long for Sarah to take a liking to me.

She’d often tell the team, "This man is a go-getter, he’s got that drive we need!"

She even started calling me "her best investment" and sometimes joked that I was "the future of the organization."

I felt like I was winning at life….
One day, Sarah invited me to dinner after work.

She said, "You know young man, you’ve really impressed me—keep it up!"

I said, "It’s all thanks to my parents and Jesus!"

I could see her smile, and it made me feel like I was finally going places…
