Nigeria is Blessed crew will soon gather here, as if other countries are cursed, in my opinion the most blessed countries are:1.CAR,COngo,Gabon,Angola(these countries have gold, diamond, oil, rich climate/weather, soil, wildlife, siliconand other semi-conductors, etc.) 2. China is blessed with hard-working population, diverse ecosystem, rich culture and value system, plenty foooood.
3. Australia, diverse ecosystem, wide land mass, plenty food and good people.
3. America: oil, high quality human beings in large numbers, diverse culture, great historic achievement, technology, plenty food etc.
4. Russia: Good high quality people, rich ecosystem, land mass, plenty engineers and scientists. Every country is unique and blessed, where we should focus is making something out of ours.

Nigeria is blessed, but our government only focuses on petroleum and related products. Also, most youth who would love to invest in farming change their mind because of the security situation in our country.

I’ve learned; that it’s the temperature of spring which makes “oyibo” fruits and vegetables blossom. Here I was thinking they required the four season cycle to grow healthily. Our apples are sweet because farmers use the least amount of chemical assistance. They also rather breed insect resistant strains than rely on artificial means to support the plant. Outside the country, one can find massive apples which taste no different from cardboard. I always hated the situation.

I hate that shiit call broccoli, even though I love vegetables and fruit like mad.

First time I travel to UK, I ate that shiit call broccoli and I nearly vomit.

I deceive my colleague that it taste nice, so the next day, he ordered for it, when the guy taste it, he was telling me that the thing is not good at all, since the day, till we came back I no wan use my eye see the shiit. Even when am eating when you mentioned it, I fit leave the food and walk away.

Most of these fruits and vegetables are not uncommon here in SA... Back home we have pomegranate, guava, citrus, grape and blackberry trees... Some people do have apple trees.

And my mother would usually grow some beetroots, carrots, spinach, and some potatoes in her small garden.

The rest we buy them from the store.

In Nigeria, fruits and vegetables like oranges, carrots, mangoes, tangerines, etc., are commonplace. Many people, including Nigerians, don’t know that besides these staples, the country grows other uncommon fruits and vegetables that are often thought to be imported. Now that you know we have certain uncommon fruits and vegetables in Nigeria, here are some of them....

1. Broccoli.
One can actually argue that Broccoli is grown exclusively in Plateau state and not in any other Nigerian state. The fruit market in Jos is all the more richer and diverse because of this and other exotic vegetables and fruits.

2. Cauliflower
Cauliflower is rich in vitamins and minerals, also very essential in detoxification, proper digestion, and helps fight cancer, inflammation and other heart conditions.

3. Beetroots
Beetroot was first cultivated by the Romans. Today, the leading commercial producers include the USA, Russia, France, Poland and Germany. It can be roasted, blended into a soup, boiled, or consumed raw in salads. Studies claim that beetroot juice improves athletic performance, reduce blood pressure, and increase blood flow.

4. Strawberries
Strawberry is grown in large quantities in Jos and other areas of Plateau state. For anyone who has ever travelled from Abuja to Jos, the women hawking strawberry and other uncommon fruits and vegetables around Riyom local government area are not hard to miss.

5. Pomegranates

Pomegranates are a great source of vitamin C, fibre, and vitamin B6.

6. Raspberries
Raspberries are highly rich in antioxidants, potassium, fiber, and other nutrients that are essential to the body system.

7. Apples


8. Blueberries
Blueberries are low in calories but high in nutrients. Also used in fruit juices.

9. Tomatoes
Of course, tomatoes are grown in many states across Nigeria. But the tomatoes in some states stand out for their excellent quality and flavour. That’s why the praise name “Tomato Jos” for example, is a thing.

10. Celery
This contains important antioxidants; it reduces inflammation, supports digestion, and is rich in vitamins and minerals.

11. Eggplants
Eggplants are a source of vitamins and minerals. It helps in digestion, reduces the amount of cholesterol that the body absorbs and thus improves heart conditions. It also helps bones become stronger and increase bone density.

12. Radish
Radishes can be red, white, or purple. It has been said to aid digestion, fight fungus, prevent diabetes and improve skin condition.

Here’s a picture of the British commissioner to Nigeria, Catriona Laing, shopping for fruits at the farmers market in Plateau.
