Peanut is a crop of wealth. It truly is.When I entered the peanut industry, all I had was a motorbike, a Nokia button phone, zero industry experience, and borrowed capital of INR 723,000 (about US$7,800 in today’s value). The loan carried an interest rate of 2.1% per month, and a 50% of profits to the extraordinary man who chose to trust me after meeting me just once.What I had in abundance, was hard work & focus. I saw opportunities...not my status quo.That is why Nigeria resonates with me. The country once built its famous peanut pyramids as a symbol of prosperity and economic strength.
