Nigerian singer Omawumi who was the runner up in the Nigerian Idol competetion many years ago has found a new love! And her new love is AGRICULTURE. Omawumi has ventured into Agriculture saying that she was born into a home of farmers.
She said “I have always been into agriculture; my father has a 25-hectare land in Ubeji, in the outskirts of Warri. While I grew up, I used to go to the farm and we used to process cassava. I can make garri; I mean uprooting the cassava, the whole process of extraction and frying it. I can do it effortlessly same thing with fufu and tapioca. I am actively involved in agriculture because I grew in the farm.
“Everything we use is actually from agriculture especially most of the make-up women use. I am a part of the project because I believe we need to be actively involved in agriculture, especially the youths. They see agriculture as something that is ‘uncool’ meanwhile it could create employment for a lot of them. I wonder why someone would rather go to a supermarket to buy chicken at a price you could use to buy some chicks, rare them and after a while, you have lots of chicken for your consumption,” she said.
She confirmed that also that she is working on her new album.
**Very good project indeed, well done Omawumi. Agriculture maintains life.
