 It was a time of massive gains for a green community in Makoko, Yabba and Lagos as they have learned new ways on how to plant seeds they would normally dispose of in bags and plastic bottles. Plus TV Africa's correspondent, Destiny Momor has more. Residents of Makoko community listen with keen interest as this group, Tomoro's vision for the nation foundation, lectures them. They are thought to stop throwing away yam heads, tomato and pepper seedlings, vegetables and then plant them in bags and in the spaces available to them. Convena yinka okuyiga speaks on the need for this as the effect of inflation bites harder. You can see from the videos, you see a lot of people, especially the elderly ones, seated in the rain. They were in the rain, they were ready to learn and we realised that there is a lot of poverty and hunger in the land. People are angry and we are just trying to encourage them and telling them that they can do better. And how do they do better? They can plant this food, the food stuff for themselves in bags and it surely goes. That is why we brought samples for them to see so that they can see that for real all the things that they can plant it in their own homes. The group says its mission is to encourage backyard farming from the bulk of what residents would ordinarily throw away. We are trying to teach them on how to plant all the waste, all the seedlings and all the seedlings and those things that they use, they have around them from waste to waste. In order to be productive, so that they can plant what they can eat, we are encouraging them to go on backyard farming. While doing that, we also, we are trying to get against poverty and hunger in the nation. That is why we are encouraging backyard farming for these people. It's not just for the elderly, for the community and the whole but we decided to start with the elderly so that they in turn can teach because they have time to sit. They in turn can teach the young ones, the young ones and the youth and the children were also available but also present at the occasion. It goes a step further by being charitable, by feeding over 200 widows for aged, children and youth in the community to cushion the effect of chronic hunger and poverty bedeviling the land. Most of the community came out despite the rains. It is believed that when hunger is reduced in the land, poverty automatically reduces. Destiny Momo for Plus TV Africa.
