Victor Osuagwu, popular for his comic roles and the excellent way he interprets such roles, has put forward a shocking retirement plan.
He says he wants to be a farmer and spend the rest of his days on earth producing food for humanity.
At a recent event tagged ‘Job Creation/Empowerment for the Unemployed’ held at Zion Event Hall, Isolo, Lagos, the ace comedian explained that he is making plans to retire as a farmer.
In his words: “I am preparing myself for retirement because a time will come when we (actors) will all go back to our various home towns to go and relax, eat fresh foods away from the hustle and bustle of the urban city. I’m presently the President General of my Community. And I’m also a farmer.
Osuagwu also shared his retirement plans, adding that he intends to relocate to his hometown so as to fully concentrate on farming.
“I’m planning to expand my farming enterprise because I want to begin exporting my produce outside Nigeria. What I do now is that I give it out to people. I don’t buy bags of rice for people because I produce rice in my farm. That is the reason why I attended this event and I have learned a lot from this programme.”
“If you travel to Europe, you will realise that a lot of people are into farming and that is why they don’t lack food. They have varieties of farm produce to eat from but the case here in Nigeria is different.
”Everybody wants to work in a bank or an oil company and the other areas are being neglected. So, I give kudos to AFCO empowerment initiative which has partnered with the federal government to improve agricultural production in Nigeria,” the comic rounded off to a ground breaking applause”.
