Graduate Who makes Garri For A Living due to Unemployement

A lady identified as Ideba Edu Ele – an indigene of Cross Rivers state – said she resorted to farming when her job search wasn’t yielding fruits.

She shared pictures of her of when she cultivated cassava crops and the process of frying the garri

According to Ideba, farming is actually something her family has engaged in for a while. “Farming is something I and my family have been doing for years now and we no longer see it as hard work because we are used to it. “The prayer is to scale up someday.”

The mass communication graduate who finished school in 2020 went on to highlight the challenges she faces as a female farmer.

“As a lady, the health hazard is there from continuous exposure to smoke, rain falling on you in the bush “But all that are everyday farming experience, nothing new.”

Ideba also mentioned finance and lack of machinery to go large scale as part of her problems at the moment. Many hailed her for upholding dignity in her labor.
