In a bid to catch them young, a spiritual leader in Igbo land, Chief Rommy Ezeonwuka (Ogilisi Igbo) has urged pupils and students to take interest in farming.
Addressing pupils and students from the primary and secondary schools at Government Technical School (GTC) Umuchu in Aguata local government area of Anambra State during the presentation of free exercise books to all primary and secondary schools in Umuchu by Eagle Food Processing Industry, Ezeonwuka informed the students that better future awaited them if they embraced farming.
The proprietor of Rojenny Games and Tourist Village ,Oba, informed the children that farming naturally attracts miraculous progress if the formulas are adequately applied, noting that the biblical story of how Jesus fed 5000 people with five pieces of bread and two fish is a miracle formula of farming.
The Ogilisi Igbo who is also a Board of Trustee (BoT) member of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) said he could replicate the miracle of Jesus Christ with five pieces of bread and two fish to feed 5000 people and even more, noting that such miracle defines what is obtainable in farming.
He said: “Five grain of corns can give you bags of corns, two male and female fish can give you thousands of fish. So when you read that Jesus performed miracle of feeding thousand of people with little things, it means that Jesus was telling his followers including you and I to embrace farming. He lauded the management of Eagle Food for considering it right to educate the pupils on the business of farming, noting that supporting them with materials things and educating them on what will expose them to live a better life in future was a wonderful development.
In his response the Managing Director, Eagle Food Processing Industry, Prince Ugochukwu Okpalaeke thanked Ezeonwuka for identifying with the company during the occasion. He assured that the company would support Governor Obiano and APGA.
