Many of Father Kay's followers praised him for engaging in farming, noting that he inspires them.

Speaking to Legit.ng in an interview, Father Kay said people should not underrate farming as a sign of poverty.

Father Kay is the parish priest at St Peter and Paul Catholic Church, Ahia and Udakpa, Ubiaja Esan South East LGA of Edo State.

He told Legit.ng that he started engaging in farming actively in 2019, noting that it has been helpful.

His words:

"I've been farming for close to five years now. I started when I was working in a place called Urohi, St Patrick Catholic Church, Esan West LGA of Edo State. As a priest in charge of a parish that was not so buoyant, and everyone was predominantly a farmer, I realised that farming could help the Church so as to reduce the financial burden of caring for the Priest. That was when I started with a pineapple farm in late 2019. It's still doing well to date.

The priest said he prefers selling off the cassava in raw form instead of processing it into garri.

He said:

"I usually sell off the cassava. Though it's best to turn it to carry in the long run, the stress of the process makes it almost impossible to handle on a larger scale. This is why I've often appealed to the state government to establish a cassava mill where farmers could take their produce for processing. In the current arrangement, the farmers don't make as much as they should since they're constrained by a lot of factors."

Man goes to his village to make garri

A man said he had to travel to his village to make garri by himself and he found out that it was a difficult process.

When he got to his village, the man went to the farm to harvest cassava alongside his mother, who gave him a helping hand.

He came back to peel the cassava, after which he went to ground it at the engine and then came back to fry.
