This is a lively political and agricultural discussion thread where users debate the best fruit trees to plant in Nigeria, often linking their choices to economic survival under the current administration. The conversation mixes serious agricultural advice with political satire, specifically a recurring joke about planting 'Cana' (cannabis) instead of cocoa or other crops due to economic hardship. While there is no commercial selling or coordination, the thread serves as a social space for farmers and non-farmers to share preferences and vent about the national economy.
“Imagine we all planted at least a fruit tree before the end of Tinubu's tenure, so that the years are not totally wasted.”
“Cassava and Maize 🌽 fruit...”
“I'll plant some Cana. Tinubu will leave alot of agbadorians in tears and heartbreak so, the Cana I'll be harvesting will ho a long way in ameliorating their pains.”
“If not for the fact that Palm trees takes long years to bear fruits, it's one of the best economical plant”

This is a lively discussion thread where users share personal experiences with home-grown fruit trees, ranging from avocados and cashews to soursop and pawpaw. The conversation focuses on growth timelines, specific challenges like non-producing trees and shade issues, and practical maintenance tips such as using carpet grass to reduce sweeping. While some users debate the feasibility of certain crops in Nigeria, the tone is largely supportive and anecdotal rather than focused on commercial trading or specific farming problems.
