"This is a video from women farmers’ groups in Akwa Ibom, celebrating the farm yields from access to unadulterated, high-quality fertilizer. The blending plant in Akwa Ibom (Greenwell) is one of 40+ revived since 2016, under the Presidential Fertilizer Initiative. See their joy!"

"I celebrate these queens, they're the real MVP."

@BabyStepsNgr commented:

"Just like observed with the rice pyramids, some are quietly progressing while others are loudly regressing. What one does (or does not do) with what is available to one always will yield a result positive or negative."

It was previously reported that a Nigerian lady identified as Nyifamu Ogechi Manzo inspired people on social media with her success story a year after investing in poultry farming.

Sharing her story on Twitter, Nyifamu said she started poultry farming in a spare room her dad allowed her and her brother to use.
