Lawyer advises Nigerians to practise gardening for food sustenance

An Ilorin, Kwara State-based legal practitioner, Kazeem Musbau, on Saturday advised Nigerians to embrace home gardening practices as a means of relieving themselves from the country’s current harsh economy.
Mr Musbau, who gave the advice in Ilorin during an interview, said embracing gardening practices by individuals would help a lot.
He said, “This will soften the effect of the harsh economic situation on each family and the country.”
He pointed out that gardening practices should be everybody’s priority and not only farmers.
“The economy is harsh. Each individual in every family must practise home gardening as a way to survive. This is not time to underrate the impacts of home gardening. We can plant vegetables, tomatoes, okro, bitter leaf, yam, pepper, melon, maize and other supportive foods that will go a long way to reduce spending. We cannot continue to rely on the core farmers to produce food for us every time. Everybody can practise agriculture within their capacity. Let us take the step and start something small in our backyard. It will feed many and save us the cost of spending on purchasing food items,” Mr Musbau said.
The lawyer also advised the public to stop relying on the government to do everything but to make some little effort to support their daily activities.
