"My action was to explore another area of opportunities" - Dbanj, now a famer?

Dapo Oyebanjo, a.k.a D’banj, on Monday said he would take to farming so youth can be encourage to embrace agriculture and fight poverty D’banj said in an interview in Ikeja, during the launch of 'ONE' Agriculture’ Campaign” that his action was to explore another area of opportunities.

“ONE’’ is an international, non-partisan, non-profit, advocacy and campaigning organisation aimed at eradicating poverty and preventable diseases in the world through public awareness.
D’banjD’banj said that during his meeting with the “ONE Organisation” in South Africa, he was convinced that agriculture was the only way forward for Nigeria and Africa.“They told me about so many potentials we’re missing out on. “If we focus on agriculture in the next five, six, seven, 10 years, Africa can actually be feeding the rest of the world.

“Small scale farmers don’t even have any support and they are the larger percentage of the people that are giving us what we eat.“Agriculture is actually everything that we live on; food is life; agriculture is life.“They said we would like you to champion this move where we go across Africa and we tell our youths, create that awareness for them, let them know.“So, for me, I will be doing everything in my power to make sure that the youth, my generation, they see what I have seen and they educate themselves. 

“We would create our wealth ourselves, so you can call me a farmer now.“My role is to get involved and like a joke I’m getting involved fully.“Maybe I’m going to have my own farm so that when I’m talking to youths and saying listen I am a farmer as well.“So, everything we would be doing to just let them know that “oh boy’’ you can wear a Rolex and still be a farmer.’’
